State Capitol News
By A. I. HARRIS

Further Strengthening OF the states
credit will come shortly as well as
reduction of it's indebtedness when
the state department of rural credits
retires some $8OO0,000 worth of its
own bonds These have been pur-
chased over a period of several years
from the proceeds of land sales and
mortgage settlements, and amount,
says Credit Conservation T. H. Arens,
to an immediate saving to the state
in interest charges of $1,775,000. Still
another million dollars of the bonds
will likely be retired in the near flu
ture if a trade can be made with the
state board of investment. At pres
ent the rural credits department
holds $1,OOO,0O0 in federal farm
credits bonds. The board holds the
same amount of the departments
bonds. If Acknowledgement William
S. Ervin's offices concludes that the
trade can be made legally, it will
be conSumated. Thus the states in
debtedness shall be reduced by So
100000, and the rural credits depart
ment will be that closer to final
accounting of its important opera
tons.
The national organizer for prob
ably the United States most power
full farm group, the Farmers Union,
will commence an extensive drive to
build the Minnesota division of his
organization within a few days.
George A. Nelson, experienced Wis
consin farm leader, is the national
organizer who was asked by the
groups board of directors to spend
several months directing Minnesota
organizational work.
Farmers Union ranks will be
swelled next year by members of the
Farm Holiday Association and the
Cooperative Union Activities. Both
these groups decided to disband their
organizations and build one large
progressive farm group.
Completing the $40 per pupil school
aid for 70 counties in Minnesota, the
state department of education last
week distributed Sl,39O,712 of the
last half of 1897 income tax collec-
lions released by the tax commission.
The commission released 81 ,297 ,595 go,
but the department could make pay
ments Immediately only to those
counties that have submitted reports
based on the October, 1887, census
necessary for the states allotment.
Changes in policy of the state peni-
tertiary at Saltwater along lines of
rehabilitation were indicated by Leo
F. Utecht as he assumed his new post
of prison warden last week. A lib
eralized penal policy was seen as the
new warden, who has been at the
prison 81 years, disclosed that he
planned to make a new study of
prison rules and routine with view
toward "salvaging" men sent there
and rehabilitating those who have
got off to wrong start.
Utecht succeeds John J. Sullivan,
who died last August. He has been
acting warden since Sullivan's death,
and during that time relaxed the
rigid silence rule to allow prisoners
to talk at meals and other specified
times, and brought a radio to the
prison so that inmates might listen
to broadcasts of tooth " games and
the World Series.

A step to familiarize Minnesota
school children with the history of
the old Northwest Territory was
taken this month by the state depart
ment of education with the distri-
button of large photographic maps
portraying the territory and indicat-
ing how the United States came into
its possession. The map was pre-
pared by the United States Northwest
Territory commission.

Among other agencies modified
last week to combat the alarming re-
lief crisis was the new state plan
ming board. At its primary meeting
the board decided to turn its first
attention to the grave problem of
growing unemployment and the re-
sultant financial burden to local and
state treasures. The rapidity with
which it has leaped into the prob
lens besetting society recalls the
words with which Governor Benson
created the new board early last
month: ut shall be the duty of
this board to apply human intelli-
gence to the problems of the devel-
opment, utilization and conservation
of natural and human resources of
the state, to the end that the para
dox of poverty in the midst of plenty
shall no longer plague our citizens
A new plea was made last week
by State Liquor Commissioner Will
liam Mahoney for support of the
commissions model liquor regula-
ton ordinance, issued some weeks
ago. The occasion was the annual
convention of the county attorneys
of the state. Mr.. Mahoney, incident
ally, has just been reappointed to
the liquor control position for an
other four years. During discussions
at the county attorneys convention
it DEVELOPED that local enforcement
of state laws has not been all it
should be. County officials on the
other hand complained that there are
not enough state men in the field, a
fact for which the Legislature was
held accountable.
Mr.. Mahoney has pointed out that
the number of state staff members
is now limited to Is by legislative act
and with $4,000 dispensaries to over
see in Minnesota, the state must rely
upon local authorities to help enforce
the state control laws.
1t is two years since Kay Todd,
st. Paul Republican, advanced his
proposal to disfranchise all persons

ills. Now along comes Professor
William Starr Myers of Princeton
university with the very same idea

Hoover and HooVerism to the nation

what can I do to prevent this?"
Well, the "Old Skipper" found
his canary in the same fix as Rob
ert's and upon consulting a pet
store man, we were told to play
manicuriSt to the little feathery
friend.
In other words, clip his claws.
Some animals shed old hair, birds
moult old feathers and deer shed
their old antlers to grow new ones
later. You yourself cut your nails
every so often to keep them from
breaking, but your Gagged bird can
do nothing about his situation.
BRING PROBLEMS
Birds flying free in the trees
claw the bark on tree limbs and
scratch for food and this keeps
their claws worn down. Your
canary has his food served and
outside of a bit of feeble scratch
ing through force of habit in the
sand on the cage floor he doesn't
work for his living.
If his claws are clipped, he will
have to depend on you to do it
and if you are fond of your little
feathered friend, you will do it
for him. However, it would be
well to ask one of the older folks
in the house to help you with the
task.
Each week, we will have a "Ques-
ton Box" column so If you have
any subject you would like cleared
up a bit, just drop a line telling
the "Old Skipper" your problem.
SPECIAL RADIO PROGRAM
School is just around the cor
ner now for Washington children
and in honor of the event the "Old
Skipper" and his radio crew Of
the good ship Happiness" will
stage a special program over
WJSV on Sunday afternoon.
The school atmosphere will be
there with musical lessons and
recitations and Winnie Mae, our
little bad girl of the gang, can
be expected to be late. It's going
to be a lot of fun. Remember
the time, l o'clock Sunday after
noon.
Friday night the "Old Skipper"
will form the second branch club,
and Upper Marlboro is the place.
A special entertainment is on the
program at Sidney Lust'S Marl-
boro Theater and the winner Of
the contest will be heard on
WJSV on a future broadcast. The
time is 8 p. m.
