Minnesota has more persons
on old age pensions in proper
ton to population than all
other states except Colorado,
Oklahoma and Texas, says the
Citizens Tax Relief association
in citing the growing cost of
new governmental burdens in
the state. Reports show that
Minnesota has 292 persons on
old age assistance for every
1000 persons 65 years old,
New obligations which the state
has undertaken will require
S14,600,000 in additional re-
venue annually and is becom.
ing considerably of a connun.
drum to anticipate the securing
of funds for the additional ex.
penditures.
The increased burdens are
further augmented by enlarged
budgets for this, that and the
other department some neces.
sary while others sound 'goofy
in the extreme and are making
it hard for the taxpayer to
bear. John F. Scott, president
of the association, says that
taxpayers should let the legis.
lature know that the state can't
go on increasing expenditures
and taxes without end but that
soon we will have no money fol
old age pensions or any other
worthy object.

It is a fundamental principle of good dummy play to adopt tenta- tive plan which, if it fails, still leaves another line of play by which the hand may be made. This is just another way of saying that it is un- wise to put all your eggs in one bas- ket.
 North bid his hand correctly. An immediate jump to four spades would have discouraged South, but North's jump to game after showing a diamond suit, encourages South to look further. His five heart bid, Of course, was merely a cue bid, and North, by bidding six diamonds, in- vited the six spades bid.

Expert Explains Victorious TINT Bridge Bidding

Its remarkable success in recent tournaments has attracted much att tention to the TINT (Tierney No Trump System originated by Ed- gar F. Tierney of Springfield, Mass.
 Although he wrote several arti- cles on the system last fall, its continued success after months of trial have led William E. McKen- ney, secretary of the American Bridge League and contract expert for NEA Service and the Waterbury Democrat, to write six additional ar ticles on INT play. The TINT sys- tenn depends largely for its success on a forcing no trump open and a quick contract which leaves op- ponents without sufficient infor- nation to assemble defense. There also are other differences, but nearly all are concerned with the forcing bid or response.
 The first of MT. McKenney's articles will start tomorrow and the first TINT problem is carried with today's bridge article on this page of The Democrat.
