OPINES ON CATHOLIC
SISTERS AS TEACHERS

OLYMPIA Catholic Sisters
may be employed as teachers in
the common schools Of the state,
but cannot wear sectarial garb if
so employed. Attorney-General G.
W. Hamilton said Thursday in a
letter to State School Superintend-
ent Stanley F. Atwood.
Hamilton cited the constitutional
provision that "sll schools main
tanned wholly or in part by public
funds shall be forever free from
sectarian control or influence"
He said the wearing of the garb
and insignia of a religious order
created an influence OF a char
acter so sectarian that it was
violative of the constitution.
State law bars teachers employ
ment agencies from disclosing the
religious faith of teachers seeking
employment. the attorney general
said. In our opinion, it is legal
to employ Catholic teacher if no
sectarian influence results there
from, but not if such a teacher is
to wear sectarian garb when in
charge of the school," he said.

Roosevelt and congress to permit
the refugees to enter as a good

The Hamburg American line,
owners of the st. Louis, said they
would turn the ship toward New

$4,000 day costs for holding the

Officers and crew of the 81

Lawmakers
Enter Final
Session Period

The Minnesota legislature is now
entering its final four weeks of
lawmaking. Already night sessions
have been started for action on
major bills but it looks as though
the final days will be filled with
stress and activity, according to
the Legislative Letter from the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.
The Civic Service bill which has
been in the headlines since the OPP
ening of the session in January
is now being considered by the
Senate. The House passed the bill
(IIF6O1) several weeks ago but now
the bill is up for Senate action
after considerable delay.
Both houses are still studying
the reorganization bill, which is re-
garded as one of the important
measures of this session, but no
definite action has as yet been TAX
en-. Survey Of requests for appro-
priations from various state depart
ments has been completed in the
House Finance Committee, while
the Senate is still tussling with
this phase of the work. Leaders
state, however, that requests will
be pared down in every instance
in order to effect economics.
1t appears likely that the relief
appropriations will be passed in
full, and that provision will be
made to take up the deficits in the
poor relief funds.
A joint hearing of the Senate
and Tax House tax committees was
held Wednesday night to hear opin-
ions of taxpayers from over the
state, who were invited through the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.
At this hearing, James P. Nc
Donnell, president Of the tax group,
pointed out that Minnesota now
has a tax on real estate, personal
property, moneys and credits, in
come, inheritances, gifts, gasoline,
motor vehicles, iron ore, iron ore
lands and leases, gross earnings OF
railroads and certain other corpor-
atoms, liquor, chain store, insur-
ance companies and mortgages"
He stated that in 1887 there was
paid on all these taxes a total OF
$176, ALA 443. However, the taxes
did not take care Of the spending
because many taxing units issued
bonds in order to get more funds,
The State, for example, in addition
to its tax income, increased its
bonded debt from $S7, 9S8,0O0 in
1928 to $136,667, 900 in 1888. The
total bonded debt Of Minnesota
governmental units is now 1881, :
100000 The interest on the debt
is in excess Of 100000 annually
In addition to this, the State re-
ceived various aids from the Fed
eral government which totaled
SIS, 100000 last year."
1.-THE only answer to this situa'
tion," Mcdonnell said, "is drastic
tax reduction which the people are
looking forward to in the present
session"

I'M A STRANGER HERE
MYSELF
by OGDEN Nash
BY Bernice Fi,,neSa,,

A masterpiece of wit and humor
that has come into being within
the recent months is a collection
of the inimitable soliloquies in
verse from the pen of OGDEN Mash
I'm Stranger Here Myself"
The work of any other modern
satirical poet cannot be compared
with his brilliantly witty style
which fits from one superficiality
of contemporary life to another.
On one page you'll come upon a
complaint en- "unbelliferous pars-
ley and just opposite that "The
Strange Case of the Irksome
Prude" or advice on how to "Curl
up and Diet" Or If you turn to
page thirty-nine he might offend
you with his punning under the
title of Don't Grin or You'll Have
to Bear It."
Although he treats of those sub
jects that are the pet peeves of
many of us sometimes we are as
tonished to see them in print
You'll die laughing when he goes
off on a favcrite subject (the
weaker sex,) labelling it ooh Did
You Get the Tickets? Because ]
Don't Think I'll Go After ALL" or
Absence Makes the Heart Grow
Heart Trouble"
1t is funny. For that reason a
few ultra-solemn people may not
like it, since it deals with some Of
the authors own dislikes of Gus
toms and certain people; for the
same reason the majority who are
not above taking a light-hearted
holiday from wcrdly problems will
enjoy it immensely.

Stassen Cites
Big Savings on
State Supplies
With Purchases on q Competi-
tive Basis, Materials Now Are
Being Bought for Much Less

With purchases conducted on a
basis of open, competitive bids,
supplies required by the state now
are costing much less, Governor
Stassen reported this week, citing
savings that in some instances are
running as high as 25 and 80 per
cent over purchases made a year
ago.
THE state has just bought 1851
worth Of mimeograph bond paper"
the governor said. This paper cost
SILICA less than the same quantity
cost year ago. The state is buy
ing hip boots at $4.85 where last
year it paid $3.50.
1.-THE purchasing department is
paying $34 for filing cabinets that
cost the state $45 a year ago. On
March 1st, the state printer paid
$74.61 for supplies for the health
department, and for the identical
supplies the state printer paid
S185.25 a year ago, or twice the
price. The new bids for printing
the session laws is $2,2S6.S4 less for
the same quantity and size than
paid two years ago."
While the governor was citing
the savings being made by putting
state purchasing on competitive
basis, the legislature investigating
committee this week was digging
into purchasing methods of the
state board of control under the
last administration.
George w. Anderson, an examin-
er in the state comptroller office
reported to the committee a long
series of instances where purchases
were made from a Minneapolis
furniture concern, though in most
instances this company was not
the low bidder. In one case cots
were purchased for state institu-
tons at $185 each when the low
bid was $93.75.
Bids offered on fruit and vege-
table purchases were altered in the
beard of control office to give the
purchases to favored concerns in
many instances, the committee was
told. A deposition made by A. j.
Conroy, former purchasing agent
for the board of control, read into
the record said that certain firms
were given business regardless of
their bids on orders from Roger
Rutchick, secretary of former
Governor Benson.
The legislature passed few maj
or bills during the past week, but
cleared the decks of many special
measures. The senate approved a
bill which will require holders of
beer licenses to close at the same
hours as operators of hard liquor
places. The beer taverns might re-
main open on Sundays and holi-
days under this bill if local regu-
lations permit, but would have to
close at the usual hours that are
in effect during the week for hard
liquor. The house has not passed
the bill as yet.
The senate postponed indefinitely
the bill abolishing the one-mill
road tax, ending all hope for this
proposal this session. Rural coun-
ties throughout the state need the
state aid road this law makes pos
sible, delegations from over the
state told the senate highway COM
mittee.
