chamber.
"You intended to impress on the
legislature the need for pending
legislation and you've done a good
job" Benson said. He remarked
they were well received in both
senate and house and did a good
job before committees"
They must carry on the fight
back home and 1.-The rest of your
lives" he said.
The Lobbyists" accordingly
adopted a resolution agreeing to
temporary adjourn" and announc-
ing that if the senate fails to pass
the legislation of "the peoples man
date" the Governor should call a
special session and I'VE pledge our
selves to again mobilize for a peo-
pies lobby of longer duration"
Senators were making arrange
ments with a downtown hotel for
a place to hold their meetings
when the evacuation was announc-
ed.
Senator Charles Orr, st. Paul,
senate majority leader, wrote Gov
ernor Benson Tuesday, charging
the chief executive with melting
riot in connection with the pro-
longed legislative demonstration.
He stated that in other days the
governors action would have
brought forth a general demand
for his impeachment and I do not
see how the people of Minnesota
now can condone it."
Charges that Governor Benson
failed to perform his duties under
the law to "quell and quiet the
mob" Monday night were made in
a resolution introduced in the sem
ate Wednesday.
The Governor was condemned
for attempts to influence legisla-
ton by mob rule and violence"
Joining in expressions of regret
that the Peoples Lobby "degenerat-
ed into a mob" were Senator Vic
tor Lawson, of Willmar and Harry
A. Bridgeman, of Bemidji, Farmer
Laborites. Senator James A. Car
ley, of Plainview, suggested those
responsible" might let the people
know they do not approve.
The resolution, introduced by
Senators Karl G. Neumeir, of Still
water, Henry C. Stiening, of
Moorhead, and Arvid Ruotsinopa,
of Kimball, declared a 'lawless
mob took possession after Cover
nor Benson had told the lobby Its
all right to get little rough"
While there was no serious talk
about impeachment, the report was
current that the senate resolution
was drafted deliberately as posi-
BILE basis for such action against
the Governor. Impeachment pro-
ceedings would have to originate
in the house, controlled by the lib
erals.

Kohl was authorized to interview
persons in the Department of Edu-
cation, who might possibly conduct
the survey, as to future needs in
the building and the educational
system.
The Board voted to invite the
State Examining Board to audit
the school accounts and books, as
soon as possible, and also made ar
rangements for publishing the pro-
ceedings Of the Board, and the an
nual statement, which appear in
this issue of the Herald. This is the
third annual report which has been
published by the Board.
Mr.. Kohl was instructed to in
form the members of the Junior
and Senior classes that the matter
of holding the banquet in connec-
ton with the Junior-Senior Prom
was entirely up to the students for
decision. It being an established
institution in school affairs the
Board voted TO extend financial aid
for the banquet, if necessary. Incl
dentally, Mr.. Kohl stated that the
class of 1887 numbers GA or IS
members.
1t was agreed to accept the treas
urer's bond at $500, as before.

dumped over this community Sat
urday when moisture-laden snow
fell to depth of several inches
and driving was made hazardous.
Failing throughout the night the
snow continued throughout most
OF the day Saturday, and falling In
a white curtain lowered driving
visibility to nearly zero. Through
out the day traffic was slowed as
motorists feared the slippery
roads. Communication was hamp-
cred on outgoing long distance
calls when sleet formed on lines
in southern Minnesota.
Such weather" was the exclam-
alton that seemed to proclaim the
disgust of local residents who long
ed for spring. But the kids, with
thoughts of snowballing and mold
ing snowmen, saw the good in this
wet snow.
While city folk griped over heav-
ing shovelsful Of the wet stuff, ped
estrians sought out dry places, and
motorists were fuming under their
slow progress, farmers expressed
the high moisture content of the
snow was a boon to this section.
With the little frost that this win
ter gave the ground near out, mois-
ture is being quickly absorbed. Al
though many farmers were plan
ming seeding Immediately following
Easter, 1t was expressed Monday
by some that this added moisture
will be worth waiting a week for.
As soon as fields clear, and with
Mondays melting they feel it won't
be long, seeding will begin in ear
nest. Hundreds of farmers in this
section will go into the fields in
the annual spring seeding. Some
expressed the hope that following
their early seeding a light snow
might fall. They say it is beneficial
to their crop.
Water was sent running into hol-
lows and cutters Monday as the
sun broke forth and bathed the
whole whitened scene in its rays.
Snow banks melted as if by magic,
and snow pellets flew as youngsters
sensed possibly their last opportun-
ity at snowballing.

Commissioner Elsberg warned
that the states highway construc-
ton and improvements program
will remain at standstill unless
some action Is taken by the legis-
lature before 1t adjourns to pro-
vide the department with funds.
He doubted that a 1-cent gaso-
line tax would provide sufficient
funds to match the federal allot-
ment. If the tax were made, he
said, it would bring in only ST.
100000 in the next seven months
and leave the state SLIPS 900
short of matching the federal
appropriation.
He suggested that a bond issue
probably was the only way out,
adding that maintenance alone
for the 1000 miles in the state
highway system would require
$8,0OO,00O.
The commissioner pointed out
that there are eight organizations
in the state opposing any highway
improvement program while only
one or two were supporting a rea-
sonable highway improvement pro-
gram.
Highway funds were adopted
through the winter, Elsberg said,
snow removal alone costing more
than $1,50000O.
If Minnesota wanted all its
roads paved. he added, it would
cost $250,000,000 but there still
would be a maintenance cost of
about 100000 annually.-Wadena

Precancelled S. c.
Stamps Are Valuable

Valley was among the users of the
roll stamps bearing the cancella-
ton collectors have Offered up to
20 cents per stamp whose rarity
they believe is assured.
Mr. Easton is in receipt of let
tiers from a superintendent Of
schools in Atlanta, Georgia, one
from Waco, Texas, several from
New Jersey, Albany, New York
sent one, and there is one from a
small town in Illinois. Most Of the
letters, said Mr.. Easton, were from
the eastern and southern sections.
An article that published a no
tice concerning the discrimination
of these old type pre-cancelled
stamps, called attention to the fact
that there were about 100000 of
them issued. When this supply is
exhausted, a rarity will have been
created. 1t expressed the thought,
too. that the value of a dollar for
single stamp may be reached.
