The first organized outing for shut
ms" in the history of the country
was held last week at Hinckley where
ia permanently handicapped per-
sons enjoyed a vacation among the
pines as part of Governor Benson's
camp program for the under-privi-
legged. The men and women who
ranged in age from Is to nearly so
came in wheel chairs and on canes
and crutches, but they were all en-
thusiastic about their first real camp
ing experience. According to Thomas
Minehan, director of the State Youth
Survey, sponsors of the camp pro-
gram, it was the first time many had
been out of their homes in years.
Nobody else had ever tried to hold
an outing for these persons because it
was assumed that camping and the
enjoyment of nature was only for
the able-bodied. However, it was
found that physical well-being is not
necessary to appreciation of the out
doors, and of night around camp
fire victims of arthritis, infantile
paralysis and automobile accidents
sang Justify as they roasted marsh
mallows and weiners. Days they
lounged in the GOODNESS of the woods,
fished from the banks of the st. Croix,
played checkers, or swan. Some
who could not stand alone were able
to swim when assisted by lifeguard.
Special food was furnished to them
homemade ice cream, chicken-a-la-
king, cakes and lemonade. On rainy
days they stayed in their lodges where
log fires drove away chills and the
campers played at city government
A special radio broadcast was given
from the camp in which the inmates
took part, and the WCCO announcer
asserted afterward that never had he
seen such happy throng. Next year
it is planned to hold another camp
for the handicapped for longer time

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

The states financial condition is
even more firm than has been sup
posed, the fiscal report for the year
ending June 80 just released by State
Treasurer c. A. Halverson reveals.
19r. Halverson's figures disclose that
mt only have the states permanent
Trust funds been increased during the
vast year by record figure, but the
states general revenue fund is now
safely in the black for the first time
IN several years.
The permanent trust funds now
total 500 100000. This is an increase
of nearly 100000 over one year
ago. which is record increase. Mr..
Halverson points to the liberals tax
reform legislation passed by the 1887
LEGISLATURE as the reason for the
STRENGTHENING of these funds. The
funds include the University of Min
nesota fund, the permanent school
fund, the internal land improvement
fund, and the swamp land fund, as
well as several millions in land con-
tracts.
1t is interesting to compare the "a
million dollars now in trust with the
state with the S68,843,979 which was
the amount of the trust funds in June
1890, the first year of the late Floyd
Olson's administration. In seven
years these funds have increased al
most $3O,O0O,00O.
The largest increase in the trust
funds this year comes from the rev.
enue derived from the state income
tax, which turned in S3,600,00O to the
permanent school fund and 100000
to the University fund. At the same
time, the general revenue fund has
been put in the black by the influx
of more than 4 " million dollars from
the income tax revenues alone, which
puts that fund in a better position
than it has been for years.
Minnesota will go Hollywood wher
production starts on film depicting

Some of the questions the film will
try to answer are: What are the
problems confronting Minnesota:
youth? How are they meeting them!
How are they reacting to the UMPIRE

are confronted in seeking economic
opportunity?

vest this year. A committee of state
and Federal officials set up by the
Governors request has also been OPP
Grating to keep the fields supplied,
and WPA workers are being released
in those areas where any normal
shortage occurs. One feature of the
farm employment service of special
interest to the farm worker is that
very few transfers from one section

that to date only five farm workers
have been sent out of their own coun-

America has been looking up to
the Scandinavian countries for their
political liberalism and ability to less
en- economic depressions so much
lately that it comes rather as sur
prise to learn from Miss Ingrid Gau-
stad of Oslo, Norway, who is in the
Twin Cities studying Norwegian i'm
migration, that Norway's liberal po-
itical movement got its impetus or
iginally from letters of its emigres
to America.
Letters from Norwegian settlers in
Minnesota back home telling how
America is free country, how every
body can vote here, and how every
sort of work is respectable awakened
political consciousness in the Norwe-
gian farmer, she says. Miss Gaustad,
who can be seen almost every day
doing research in the files of the State
Historical society building on Capitol
hill, was sent here on Fridtjof Nam
sen foundation stipend to collect ma
terial for a book she will write on
Norwegian immigration. The study
is being sponsored by the 1nterna-
tonal League of Norsemen.

Improved Waterways
Hailed by WoodIing
In Engineer Report
Corps Lost Yeor Engaged
In 400 Projects,
Secretary Says .

Improved waterways are playing
an important part In the economic
and commercial life Of the country,
Secretary Of War Woodring said to-
day in his annual report on the civil
activities Of the Army Corps Of En-
gineers.
This, he said, is reflected in the
amount Of annual productive ton
mage carried thereon, which in the
calendar year 1887 amounted to 583-
100, 900 tons, valued at $40, ,900, 900 900.
Furthermore, he said, there is an
increasing use of improved water
ways by vessels other than those de-
voted to commercial traffic.
During the year, the Secretary
said, the Engineer Corps has been
engaged in approximately 1000 sep
arate approved river and harbor
projects and about 400 flood-control
projects, operative throughout the
United States and in Puerto Rico,
Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands.
He said the project Of extending q

wholesale sales. Employees were
guaranteed each week a check for

Tax Break Is Urged
For Employers on
Profit-5haring Plan
Proposals Discussed
In Senate Committee
Hearings
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Profit Sharing Com
mittee heard q plea today that the
Federal Government give a tax
'break" to employers who share
their profits with their employees.
j. r. Ramsey, youthful general
manager of the johnson Wax Co.,
Racine, Wis, told the committee
the Government has tried all sorts
of laws to make us employers be-
have and they have worked to some
extent, but you will catch more
flies with molasses than vinegar"
Mr.. Ramsey, whose company paid
out 100000 in shared profits to
employees last year, indorsed the
principle of incentive taxation to
encourage continuity Of employ
ment and profit sharing. He said
he believed efforts to encourage
plant expansion in the same way
would be less successful.
Efficiency Declared Aided.
George T. Trundle, Jr., Cleveland
engineer, told the committee that
profit sharing aids efficiency, lowers
cost and prevents labor troubles.
He said his company had installed
IL profit sharing plans in various
industries and all were working well.
Under the Trundle system, higher
executives of the company are paid
salaries about one-half the usual
rate. They share, however, In go
per cent or more Of the profits.
Junior executives, receiving regular
salaries, share in from 20 to Is per
cent and workmen, paid standard
wages, get II per cent.
Mr.. Trundle said he was Every
much In favor" of incentive tax
alton.
IF you have an incentive from
a tax standpoint" he declared. Il
am quite confident that most busi-
nessmen and manufacturers will go
to profit-sharing, and rightly So"
Yesterday the committee received
Endorsement of profit from
H. L. Num-, shoe manufacturer, and
Gerard Swope, president of the Gen.
