chairman of the county commission
ers, will direct the county agent work
in the county. The expenses will be
paid as now by the county. state and
federal government. The farm bu-
reau will continue to operate and
handle the many service lines as at
present just as do the Farmers Union,
The Grange, Holiday, Midland, Fed
Grated electric. All of these farm
associations and all farmers and bust
ness men are expected and invited to
cooperate in support of the county
agent, the All Clubs, county and state
fairs. Is it fair to the county agent
and is it fair to the taxpayers and
farmers to tie up a public servant to a
single farm association and to hold
up the right of a county to have the
use of an agent contingent upon a
paid up membership in a specified
farm association?
Bill Is Recommended.
The bill introduced by this writer
creating a one-hOuse legislature was
recommended for passage by the sem

Monday. There would be 81 members

$3.50 per year.

others here over the past weekend
and, as this is written, 1t is still none
too balmy.
Whoever heard of it being 80 above
in Florida at this time of year? Who
ever thought you'd have to put on the
old spring coat (need a new one darn
bad. too) and attend a baseball game.
Why, man alive. we're only 1870 miles
from the Mexican border at Laredo
and yet a recent stroll down a New
Braunfels street, a hard exhale and
yes sir. there was your breath right
in front of you like cigarette smoke.
But we'll say this. Texas can pro-
duce the crowds And Florida has
just about been MIXED dry for it is
no more unusual to find a ball team
in a small Florida town than it is the
court house. And the fad for looking
over court houses in strange towns
was worn out long ago.
When the Millers played the Tulsa
Oilers here Tuesday, there was a
crowd of 1900 on hand. That is ex-
actly $50 more than the biggest at
tendance at DeLand, Florida, in two
years and that turnout of $50 came
when the Millers were playing the
Detroit Tigers, then world champs.
Mike Kelley and DOME Bush still are
moaning over the fact that their Sun
day tussle with the st. Louis Browns
was rained and frozen out because it
likely would have gone over 1000. This
city is only 80 miles away from San
Antonio, training base of the Browns,
and the whole countryside is dying to
see some baseball.
We wish we could tell you more
about the general condition of the
Millers and Saints, but it is little
early yet because of the cold weather
and lack of exhibition games. There
are two schools of thought in regard
to the playing of games; one says that
it is the best way to get into shape
and that it shows you how the can
didates will do when they're under
fire. The other side dictates that IL
is not fair because you cannot get
all your men into action for any
length of time and checks up to guess
work on the part of the manager the
fate of more than one rookie.
DOME Bush always has been one tt
give the rockies a break, however
Look at his game with the Oilers tht
other day when he started Spence ant
Deal in the outfield and then put il
Christoff to relieve Spence. Harris
acted only as pinch-hitter which
probably was bad news for you, be
cause Spence always has been a ia
vorite of visiting fans from arount
Minnesota and Nicollet Park.
Now DOME must see what his youn,
hurlers look like and, in this regard
he is different from Gabby Street a
St. Paul, because the Sanity noun,
contingent is made up mostly of eX
perienced fellows. The newcomers
especially. Look at Johnny Welcl
from Pittsburgh, Ray Phelps from tn
) White Sox and Ray Benge from tn
Phils. They are accepted as sur
} things almost before they start.

old rate of four per cent on rural tele-

Legislative News
BY C. G. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

The week ending Saturday in the
Minnesota Legislature was marked by
many bitter arguments on the floor
of the House, but without great deal
of accomplishment so far as the well
fare of the state and the settlement
of the problems confronting this ses-
sion. With only four more weeks to
go regular procedure has been tossed
aside, to a large extent, and the fight
has been to get bills on Special CAL
endar, requiring a two-thirdS vote OF
the membership, and of course, if one
can get 50 votes to get the bill on this
Special Calendar, it is easier to get
the &c votes necessary for the pas
sage of the measure.
Two evenings each week are de-
voted to the passage of local bills,
pertaining to only one locality, or
bills of statewide interest which are
not controversial, and at these eve
ming sessions large numbers of small
bills are passed, but only few major
measures have passed during the reg
ular sessions.
Representatives Eastvold and Girls
sey have been in Washington all week,
trying to get more federal relief
money, and we will probably get re-
port on that situation the early part
of the week, which will decide to a
large extent the money the state will
have to appropriate for this purpose
The increase in money and credits
tax from three to five mills was
passed with some amendments, the
main amendment being the striking
out of the collection of the tax by
local banks, which was strongly OBJ
jected to from all over the state. The
new measure does include mortgage:
and other securities, however, and i:
expected to at least double the rev
enue from this tax to the state.
A bin for a pension to the blind
not to exceed $45 per month, Wa.
passed, and think will pass the Sen
ate.
Two of Mr. Stockwell's power bills
|, were denied a Special Order. One o
these bills provided that municipal
power plants could extend their line
to fifty miles, but opponents of thi
measure argued that under the Err
this was not necessary. The bill ais
changed the vote of the governing
body required from two-thirds to
bare majority, which was rather risk
fom any standpoint. These bills, how
ever, may be reached on the regula
general orders.
