The School Bond Election

Voters the Sank Centre school district will have
opportunity to vote on the question of school
building at an election to be held in the superntend
ent's office of the Senior High School Saturday
March 18th. This election has been called for the
purpose of voting bonds not to exceed $1650OO and
to authorize the school board to tear down the pre-
sent structure and use the salvage, providing the p

Shouting about the streets will not settle the
question and the voters should consider it calmly go
to the polls and express their wishes. The school
board is not attempting to cram a new school down
the threats of the people of this community. Con-

sent this opportunity for the decision of the

fact that the board has been approached from time
to time with the suggestion to build while p

Many question the need Of new building and

to do. but do believe that the members of the

the needs than do those who not acquainted with
the situation.
The board for that has presented the
question to the people for their decision and that is
the only way it can be settled Each individual voter
must make his or her decision, and when so doing
they must consider the present and future needs of
greatest civic institution, the school. However
everyone should go to the polls and vote regardless

Must Not Divert Fish and Game Income
The question of diverting income from the dvis-
ion of game and fish to the general depart
ment is again up for consideration and letter to
Minnesotas sportsmen and conservationists from A.
c. Hanson, director of game and fish, urges all in
terested to communicate with their senators and
personalities and state their opposal to the plan.
The proposition to divert funds from the game
and fish department to the general revenue fund is
contained in Senate File 1885,
Some years ago sportsmen of the state used their
influence to have funds and income to the game and
fish department taken from the general revenue
fund and to be used for conservation purposes only
That it should be, and conditions remain the
today they were years ago.
The Herald does not favor plan to divert the
game and fish fund to any other department than
that which it is intended for. We have the right to
assume that only thus can conservation be carried
efficiently in state for if the fund is diverted
monies intended for conservation can be used for
other purposes.
Every sportsman and conservationist in the
state should oppose this provision, which is found in
section Z subdivision CD of Senate File 1885, which
states that all income to the Department (of con-
servation) to any Division thereof, from fines,
forfetures licenses, fees leases and sales other
income of any kind except otherwise provided by
the State Constitution and legislative enactments for
the protection continuance and development of the
public trust funds of the State shall be deposited by
the Conservation Commissioner in the State Treas
ury there to become subject 70 legislative appropra-
ton for conservation activities"
