Pdririe Animals MOUe
To Tintbered Sections

Grand Rapids Students of wild life
who see an influx of animals which are
native Of the wide open spaces OF the
prairie wonder whether Itasca county
is becoming known as a prairie section
or whether there are other attractions
here. The first report of a jackrabbit
seen near Grand Rapids came from
Otto Swenson of the North Central
School of Agriculture who, while cross
ing a field, saw real jackrabbit, one
of the big fellows so common in the
western part of the state, but ordinarily
strangers to the timbered sections.

Related housekeeping

bciatc0 HOuSeClcdulug
Reports were out Thursday afternoon
to the effect that there would be a
general housekeeping in many of the
departments in the state. The attack
seems to be centered on the Highway
Department, where it is claimed many
of the holdovers are entrenched. The
boys, who seem to be in the know, feel
confident that some OF the boys who
have been keeping the machinery run
ming smoothly out on University Avenue
will remain regardless of the heat.
Rhere seems to be only one reaction to
the move at this late date and that is
that the Benson administration is be-
ginning to feel itself slipping and wants
to gather up all the plums in an effort
to strengthen its lines for the future
campaign.
Talking Out of Turn
Governor Benson has been in the
habit of speaking out of turn since he
took Office in January, and one would
be led to believe that his maneuvers has
been bringing no small amount of worry
to the Farmer Labor leaders. During
the period that Benson served Mime
sofa as United States Senator, i must
be admitted that he went to town in
fine shape. Many are at loss to
his change in front, and
more so his change in expression.
While the Governor was down at
Washington he was constantly kept in
the limelight by none other than John
ny" Johnston, who welded a wicked
pen. Johnny's services were used to
mighty good advantage during the
but after the victory rumors
had it that Johnston did not fit in so
well in the Benson household and was
shunted off the Highway Department,
where he is in charge of publicity, in
order to make room for Roger Rut-
chick.
A House Divided Against Itself
Up to the present time the special
session would lead one to opine that the
administration is not holding the whip
over the house that it did in the regu-
lar session. The Barker White contest
for the office of Speaker seemed to have
split the Farmer-Labor ranks wide open
and the votes on some of the tax bills
show clearly that there may be few
reversals before some of them win ap-
prevail. 1t took three days of debate to
get the Moneys and Credits Bill passed

WPA Sends Notice to Accept
Private Jobs; Reduce Cost
of Administration.

Formal notice to all WPA workers ir
st. Louis county that those who leave
to accept private jobs will be given q
preferred status for re-aSSignment, was
to be posted on local projects this week
The notice, signed by Harry Hopkins
federal administrator, reads:
"WPA workers who accept other en-
ployment after this date (July . and
lose such employment through no fault
of their own, win be re-aSsigned to
WPA projects provided they are
eligible"
The notices were being sent out this
week by Victor Christgau, state adj
miniStrator, through district offices and
area engineers, to the foremen of all
projects in this and other counties of
the state.
The notice follows the new policy of
releasing project workers who get jobs
in private industry, announced early
this month. 1t is the desire of WPA
that its workers take such jobs, even
though such work is of short duration,
state officials said.
Consolidation of districts to effect a
reduction in the administrative cost of
WPA, announced last week at the ST.
Paul office of Victor Christgau, will re-
suit in practically no changes in st.
Louis county, according to a statement
issued this week at the Duluth Office
of w. G. McDunnough, district director.
Administration Of the Federal Work
iaf will I~xa
handled through seven instead of nine
offices. The smaller number of dis
trict offices will make it possible to adj
minister the program with approx
mately so fewer administrative en-
ployeeS. The changes concern counties
in the southern and west central areas.
Districts -Four and Nine have been con-
solidated with headquarters at New Ulm
and Districts Six and Eight will be ad-
ministered from the district office at
st. Cloud. When the changes are all
worked out PWA will have an admins
trative personnel of approximately 40,
compared with a peak of 758.
The consolidation to reduce the
number Of administrative employees is
in line with the policies adopted at the
Regional Conference recently held In
Chicago" Mr.. Christgau said Re
auctions are being made all over the
nation; in some states district offices
are being abolished entirely"
That the reduction in Minnesota is
not more drastic, is due to the fact that
the administrative personnel has been
reduced from time to time to correspond
with the reduced employment of project
workers.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-06-17

and then the vote was close. At the
regular session the bill would have gone
through without an amendment by q
wide margin.
A Peaceful Lobby
Attorney Benson of Stearns County
appeared before the House Tax Com
mittee the past week and petitioned for
reduction of state expenditures in be-
half of a large group of farmers in
central Minnesota. A resolution, re-
Gently passed at mass meeting, was
read to the members of the committee
and there was no excitement whatso-
ever The lobby was just the opposite
of the one last winter, when the COM
mittee rooms were stormed and the
senate chamber taken over, in its de-
mand for heavy appropriations of
money.
A Chip on the Shoulder
The senate has been forced to do
nothing else but stall since the opening
of the special session because all tax
measures must originate in the lower
house. The house members have been
grinding out bill after bill and the
senate grabs them as soon as they come
over and refer them to the tax COM
mittee. The chip is on the houses
shoulder and it will be up to the
senate to knock it off in each in
stance, where it is found that the tax
rate is out of proportion.
How Long Will 1t Last?
1t was twenty years ago that the
boys over in France were shouting that
they would be out of the trenches by
Christmas. Many of the legislators are
beginning to feel that they will be
lucky to get home for the holidays this
year.
Rumors Have 1t
The corridor gossip has it that Gov
ernor Benson will not be candidate
to succeed himself in 1898 whether he
would like to or not. Some are of the
opinion that Paul Rasmussen will de-
velop into the white hope of the Far
mer-Labor party, but all will admit
that Hjalmar Peterson carried power
full punch and will cut quite figure in
the endorsement convention as we'll as
the primary election next year.
