Controversy over the fve-man state conserva-
ton commission came abruptly to end this week
when both the house and senate passed bill pro-
viding for a one man commission. Created in 1881,
the five-man commission owing to political bicker-
ing within its ranks has failed to provide the state
with an harmonious better conservation admin
istraton according to the intent of the setup Con-
servaton has suffered result of political jeal-
oosiesor what have you. The return to the one-man
provide better administration and will eliminate the
inevitable buck passing" which followed the crea-
ton of the five-man commission.
Congressman Harold Knutson and August Andre

alleged frauds by correspondence schools which as

Knutson, had informed him that there now more

What Can't Happen Here?

What Can't Happen Here?
The most amazing single devel-
opment in the State Legislature
during the past week was the sit
down strike staged by the Peoples
Lobby which took virtual posses
sion Of the State Capitol in an eff
fort to enforce it's demands that
certain administration measures be
approved.
The entire membership Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and represen-
tatives alike-still is talking about
this latest development in the sit
down strike mania which seems to
be sweeping the nation. Prosecu-
ton of the leaders responsible for
the occupation of the states legis-
lative law-mill seemed virtually
assured after Senator Harry Wing,
of Carlton signed complaints
charging them with interference
with the legislature.
In brief, the occurrences during
the lobby's occupation of the cap
itol were something like this:-Sev.
eral thousand members of the self
styled Peoples Lobby for Progress
sive Legislation crowded into the
capitol, received audiences before
both the House and the Senate;
heckeled members of the Senate
Finance committee and imprisoned
Senate Tax Committee members in
their respective committee rooms;
and climaxed their day of "lobby,
ing by forcing entrance into the
Senate chamber itself and remain
ing there until dispersed with Gov
ernor Elmer Benson's blessing the
following morning.
The tactics of the Peoples Lob
by, which made it's one night sit
down strike in the Senate chamber
to emphasize it's demands that the
$17,00O,O0O relief bill and other ad-
ministration measures be passed,
aroused a storm Of protest among
legislators-both in the Senate and
the House.
Senator Charles N. Orr, majority
leader in the Senate, charged that
Governor Benson himself had in
cited the people to riot by his ad-
monitions to the Peoples Lobby,
and placed the responsibility for
the "unseemly character Of the
demonstration" at the governors
door. The governor, In dismissing
the lobby Tuesday morning, told

Bad Roads Are Good Profits

Holding ford.-Having received only $500 for
new road right-of-way, Avon farmer hoped to re-
alize a more liberal profit when spring road condi-
tons made travel difficult. A motorst, observing
that new strip Of road, not yet packed was espec-
tally bad decided to follow a narrower farm trail To
his amazement he that the tongue of a sleigh
stretched the road, barring further progress
When he inquired why the vehicle was holding up
traffic, the motorist informed that charge OF
TWENTY-FIVE cents was made for all statesmen and
sons from town driving through the yard. A special
price of five cents was given to farmers.

INAUGURATION
WILL SKATER
PRECEDENTS

The precedent-making Roosevelt
administration will begin its Sec
ond term next Wednesday by
changing a few more of the old,
established rules.
When President Roosevelt is in
Quoted into office for the second
four years of his epochal Admins
tration, there will be some changes
in the procedure that has ushered
in the Inauguration of Presidents
from the time Of George Wash
ington,
Not only will it be the first time
that an inauguration will be held
on January 20, instead of March
4, but the 1887 inaugural will be
one of the simplest, most concise
and unostentatious in the history
of the country.
No Senate Ceremony
In the old order, the ceremonies
began in the Senate chamber
where the Vice President took the
oath, away from the cheering mul
titudes on the Capitol plaza. On
Wednesday, however, this will all
be changed. There will be no cere
monies at all in the Senate cham
ber, and Vice President John N
Garner will share the oath-taking
ceremony with the President or
the Presidents stand outside.
And another precedent will be
established when the august cere
monies will be opened with a
prayer. 1t is believed that the
only other Inauguration in which
an opening prayer-or a benedic
tion-was offered, was that OF
George Washington, when a rabbi
officiated.
1t is expected that the open
ing prayer this time will be Of
fered by the Rev. ZeBarney Phil
lips, chaplain of the Senate.
Ali to Have Seats
Still another innovation in this
inaugural is the seating of all ABE
of the members of the House o1
Representatives. Formerly a few
sat and many stood. But this
time special seats have been sci
for the whole group, and they will
be given cards of Identification
so that there won't be any crash
ers."
The entire program will be car
ried out with Jacksonian simpli
city. The Presidents stand at the
Capitol is of simple design, with
out a single decoration or banner
There won't even be the usual
leafy green trimming that here
tofore has draped all the stands

CHILD LABOR
LAW BACKED

A drive to speed up ratification
of the child labor amendment has
been launched by committee Of

headed by Frank R. Jelleff.
In asking support for the cam.
paign, which is a part of the Ma

work, Mr.. Jelleff pointed out that
child labor endangers national

Ignorance of LaW
Called NO Excuse
For Justice

An associate justice Of the
United States Supreme Court may
be called before the bar of justice
to answer an alleged violation of
the law.
Last fall Justice Willis Van De-
vanter was duck shooting and
failed to purchase the Federal
revenue stamp required.
A game warden who discovered
this violation took no action when
he learned the identity of the Of
fender.
But all over the country sports
men are demanding that action
be taken, pointing out that the
prominence Of an offender should
have no bearing on the case.
The Department of Agriculture,
which administers the law, is now
studying the case relative to taking
action.

the Army and Navy selected to be
a guard of honor around the re-
viewing stand in front Of the
White House.
With the exception Of a contin-
gent of Civilian Conservation
Corps boys, armed with picks and
shovels and the 36 governors with
the staffs, the guard of honor will
form the only civilian group al
lowed to participate in the cele-
bration.
Many Of the guard, formerly
connected with Uncle Sans serv-
ices, but now retired for the most
part, are holders Of the Congress
sional Medal of Honor or the Dis
tinguiShed Service Cross. They
are formed of eight men selected
from each of six veterans organi-
cations, including the Legion of
Valor, the Disabled American Vet
Grams. the Military Order of the
World War, the American Legion,
the Spanish-American War Vet
erans and the Veterans Of For
eign Wars.
Plans Revised
Original plans for the inaugural
parade called for it to be purely
military in character. 1t was an
nounced reserve troops and the
National Guard, since their peace
time standing is civilian, would be
eliminated.
Later, agitation brought about
the inclusion of the CCC, and
then it was determined to devote
one section of the procession to
the governors and their staffs.
Public opinion that this action
should be interpreted as meaning
the reserve troops and National
Guard could also parade was ig-
nored by the heads of the inau-
gural committee.
Beginning at about 1870 q. m.
next Wednesday the colorful in
augural parade will form on Con-
Stitutional Avenue at the Capitol
grounds, march thence to Penn
SylVania Avenue, swing into Tine
Avenue" at Fourth Street, ply
its way to Fifteenth Street, go
up that thoroughfare to Penn
SylVania Avenue again, then pass
in front of the Presidential re-
viewing stand and finally break
up in the vicinity of PennSyl-
vania Avenue and Seventeenth
Street.
Plenty Of Stands
Although the principal stands
open to the public are located
in the Court of Honor" on
Pennsylvania Avenue from Fiji
teenth to Seventeenth Sts., other
public stands are in place at the
South front of the Treasury, on
the triangular park North of the
Department of Commerce Build
ing, across from the old South
ern Railway Building and at
other points down the Avenue.
The stand closest to the Capitol
and the beginning of the parade
is on Constitution Avenue just
East OF Fourth Street.
Besides the squadrons of police
detailed to handle the parade and
its crowds, special units of the
American Red Cross, complete
with ambulance and medical equip
ment, will be stationed along the
line Of march. This service will
be under the direction of DR.. A.
Magruder Macdonald, District cor
oner, with headquarters at the
Ford Building, Fourth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.
An innovation in the procession
will be the playing of Happy
Days Are Here Again" by the
Army Band as it swings past the
presidential reviewing stand. Hith.
erto service bands have utilized
only martial music or patriotic
airs at inaugural parades.
