Legislative News
BY c. G.. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

On Monday of this week. the last
net income law was discussed, and
after an afternoon and evening of
argument, was passed by the House
and now goes into the fire in the
Senate. 1t is expected that the SEN
ate will make some changes, and
then it will probably go into con-
ference committee. There were about
Is members of the House who had
agreed, in advance, to vote down any
amendment except those offered by
the chairman of the tax committee,
in order to get the bill through quick
ly, with the idea in mind that the
Senate would amend it anyway so we
did not need to waste time. The ora
tory in favor of some of the amend
ments was lengthy and sometimes
heated, but the wall held firm and the
bill was passed about 1890 o'clock
Monday night.
The seed loan bill came back from
the Senate, amended so that it called
for repayment of two bushels for one.
The House had it one and half
bushels for one, so we refused to
stand for the change, arguing that
bushel for bushel was enough, so the
bill went into conference.
Wednesday an attempt was made to
bring up the measure to eliminate
county contributions to the old age
pension, the state to pay all of the so
per cent, but several members argued
that the measure had been amended
in other ways and should have a
more full discussion, so was made a
special order for next Monday at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The bill
does not eliminate county contrCl en-
tirely, and many feel that if there is
no county contribution there should
be no county control. However,
think a county board, consisting of
two members of the county board two
members appcinted by the state, and
fifth members to be selected by
these four, will be set up for investi-
cation of old age assistance claims
in each county, and the state will
pay the 80 per cent now divided. with
the counties.
Wednesday the train length bill
came up on general orders, and after
hours of argument on both sides OF
the fence, passed to the calendar

SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSON
County Superintendent

Clarence Postma has been reelected
to teach the Gronineen school district
No. g. with an increase of $40 per
month This will make his salary $50
per month for next year. This is n
one-room school of seven grades ard
25 pupils. The eighth grade pupils
are transported to Sandstone. This
next year will be his fourth year in
this school. He is a graduate of the
Sandstone training department class of
1880.
About 20 of our Pine county rural
schools were represented at our eight
sectional declamatory and music con-
tests held during the past few weeks.
Most of these schools also had local
declamatory contests. The Rock CIeek-
ROyaltOn section had the largest at
tendance, $50. and the greatest per-
centage of schools represented. 81. A
summary of all contests will be pub
liShed later.
Our spring institute will be held
for our rural teachers at Hinckley
Monday, March 80. This is the Mon
day following Easter vacation week.
The state examinations will be held
this year on June Z, s and 8.
New Bill Would Aid Schools.
Much of the proposed school legis-
lation described in this column a few
weeks ago, hinges on the passing of
the new net income tax bill. Last
week it passed the state house of rep
resentatives by vote of % to 35. but
seems to be due for trimming and
possible defeat in our very conServa-
tive state senate. This bill, as it now
stands, will more than triple the in
come tax returns for schools and thus
help to reduce local school levies.
Pine is one of the many rural coun-
ties that will be greatly benefited and
at the same time be very little af-
fected by this tax that is based on the
ability to pay. If the new income tax
bill is killed. or slashed in our state
senate this month, there will be no
chance of passing the educational bills
providing for payment of state aids
in full and for state transportation
aid for rural high school pupils to
high schools, etc. These bills would
so another long way toward the equal
ization of educ ational opportunities
and lifting some of the excessive local
property tax burdens fer schools.
We are glad to know that our state
representative. {. G.. Mann, and state
senator. c. Elmer Johnson, are both
highly In favor of this new net income
tax bill. Pine county should be 100
per cent for it, too.

1.-THE stars incline
but do not compel
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1887

| Conflicting planetary aspects are
active today, according to astrol-
ogy. Through the usual business
hours adverse aspects have sway.
Constructive work of every sort
should be pushed early in the morn
ing. Need of warehouses, grain
elevators and freight depots will
be urgent in the future.
Girls should be diligent in study.
The stars presage great tests for
the rising generation. Universities
are to be centers of patriotic inter-
est.
Great political shifts and chang
es are prognosticated and in many
states bitter enmities will be nourss
ished through the winter Fall
elections will leave many bruised
egos.
Bizarre fashions and sensational
social entertainments will climax
an era which precedes period of
world conflict in which the econ
omic revolution becomes a powerful
factor
Crimes will be even more numer-
Gus than they have been. Again
horrible offenses against women
and children are foreseen. Evil OBJ
sessions may be widespread among
the young.
Occuultists emphasize the i'm
portance of shutting out of the
mind whatever is unwholesome or
destructive to high ideals.
Diet should be studied earnestly
with special reference to food val
ues, astrologers announce, for the
cost of living is to rise steadily.
Home canning will prove most &C.
onomical for thrifty housewives.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of perplexities
and changes. New experiences are
to prove moso fortunate financially
and socially:
Children born on this day prob
ably will be strong in character
and original in thought. Subjects
of this sign may have literary or
