On Monday the Legislature will be
visited by Peoples Lobby" Sponsors
say that no less than 1000 people will
appear and make known their wants.
Every legislator desires information
upon the attitude of his constituency
as it relates to laws under considera-
ton. For that reason We all welcome
the Peoples Lobby.
But while welcoming the public, one
cannot help but feel that politics has
had not little to do with the arrange
ments for the visit. No less person.
age than John Bosch, of Farm Holiday
fame, and a present state employee at
the State Mill where he receives a
monthly stipend of more than 5000, is
chairman of the Lobby committee OF
recent weeks Mr. Bosch has been gall
avanting around the state making adj
dresses and stirring the citizenry to the
thought Of attending. No doubt these
trips have been made at state expense.
The literature broadcast at these meet
ings carries many Must" bills and a
perusal of them leaves no doubt but
that the lobby is entirely in the in
terests of the Farmer-Labor party.
Every must" bill included in the PAM
phlet is sponsored by Governor Ben
son. The Conservative Senate is taken
to task for appropriating a niggardly
100000 for Seed Loans, but pur-
posely forgets to add that Conserva-
tive Senator introduced the first State
Seed Loan bill that was ever passed by
a Minnesota legislature and did so this
session. Two years ago, when the need
for seed was far greater than this year
100000 was appropriated. Even in
those stressful days only $790, 10000 was
required to supply every applicant with
seed. 1t is but foolish therefore, to ap-
propriate more than is required-even
though the appropriation of two mil
lion or ten million might be good poll
tics of the Bosch kind
There will be many changes in the
State game and fish laws, if the several
bills introduced by Senator Jerry Null
lin, chairman of the Committee on
Game and Fish, become law. The bills
are the outgrowth of many weeks of
work by Sen. Mulin and his sub-com-
mittee. The most controversial bill is
that of opening the deer season an
nually. Under the Mullin bill an an
nual five-day season on bucks and does
would be permitted. State conserva-
tionists say the deer population is of
sufficient size to permit such an annual
season and the department is giving
the bill its support.
Another important bill is that which
increases the individual fishing Ii
censes from SOC to $100 for residents
and from $500 to $3.50 for non-resi-
dents. The same bill includes a $500
license for bait dealers.
Still another bill would reduce the
season for winter fishing. This bill
cuts two months off the winter season
by setting the time for taking pike
pickerel, perch and muskies from May
Is to December 31st.
