Legislative News
Week of March 20 to "a.
BY c. C. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

With this session of the Legisla-
ture set to adjourn sine die on April
18 only a little over three weeks
away everyone including state de-
partments as well as members, are
working overtime to get in shape
and secure passage of the legislation
still in the hopper. Your representa-
tive is the member from the sixth
congressional district, the committee
consisting of one from each district,
who make up special orders for night
sessions. The bills taken up at these
night sessions are supposed to be
non-controversial or local bills and
at the session on Thursday evening
we passed over so of these measures.
The Vance-Myre labor relations act,
about which there has been SO much
publicity, and which would put
curb on organized labor in the mat
ter of strikes, ETC., has been passed
now by two large committees, Civil
Administration and Appropriations,
and I would guess that the bill will
pass easily in this body of the legis-
lature.
The reorganization bill, which
would greatly change our present
state governmental set-up, eliminat-
ing and consolidating many state
functions and activities, is also now
about ready for House action.
This week we extended the extra
one-cent gas tax for another two
years. Although this was opposed
by some because of the waste of
highway funds in past years, most
of us felt, and so stated, that we
now had new regime, and that this
money was not an increase in taxes,
but rather a relief from taxes on
property which would necessarily
have to be levied to take its place.
The continuation of the one-cent was
carried, 80 to 80.
With no intention of criticizing, but
merely as observation, it seems that
the Senate is further behind on legis-
lation than the House, as they are still
considering our civil service bill and
other important measures we passed
some time ago. However, as they are
a smaller body, they can work faster
when they get rolling, and 1 think
most of the major legislation so far
proposed will be passed.
Some days we go like a house
afire, arguing on and passing good
legislation, but on others, arguments
on minority reports, in other words
a few members of some committee
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-03-30

trying to get bill on general orders
that has been recommended for in
definite postponement by the majority
of the members of the committee,
and sometimes political arguments,
take up most of the time. On Friday
afternoon of the week 1 write this,
all afternoon was spent on the ques-
ton of accepting or rejecting a bill
to repeal the small loan law, passed
in the early days of the session.
Charges of fraud and bribery were
again aired and discussed, Cor shall
we say disgusted).
1t seems that Representative Roy
Dunn of Pelican Rapids, made a
broadcast on Thursday evening of this
week and some of the Farmer-Labor
members of the House had to express
their Indignation, Friday afternoon,
at some of his remarks.
Starting Monday, all bills intro
duced must have the permission of
the Governor or be committee bills,
but as we already have some fourteen
hundred, we hadn't ought to need
many more.
Personally, as chairman of Public
Domain, and also chairman of sub
committee in the Reforestation COM
mittee, have in my hands all of the
bills pertaining to the coming, CLASH
fication and method of sale of tax
delinquent, and other bills on this
subject, and have spent many hours
in the Attorney Generals office trying
to get these bills in shape and out
of the committees, and then I hope
to have a special order of all of them
for a day certain.
We hold our first Saturday session,
this week, and will meet every Sat-
urday and probably most evenings
from now to April 10, the end of the

something to disturb the tranquility
OF our lives and me sweating blooc
trying to steer MY leaky boat thru
the turbulent waters. But that i.
only half of it and by far the
smallest half-if there is any such
thing. Anybody can put up a
| fight against physical foes that he
can see and combat with argument
precept example and persuasion
But there is something deeper
more subtle more elusive, evasive
| and Intangible. There are things
so important and yet so far above
our human frailities that they must
be left entirely upon the lap OF
Fate and can only be decided after
long years of seemingly endless
| waiting.
I only wish I had technique to
bring my next thought to you in
such way that you would fully un-
derstand just what I mean with
out getting too-oh what do you do
when you really want to say some
thing and haven't the proper words
at your command?
But in order for the race to show
any improvement each generation
should be better in every way than
the last. For instance if man is
to be q really good father his
daughters should be better women
than their mother. AS married the
best woman, available at the time
and if my daughters are as much
better as they should be there would
not be any young man good enough
to mate with them and they would
not be permitted to perpetuate the
line that my ancestors had spent so
many years building up, and if they
are not better it reflects upon me as
sire. -
Is it any wonder then that my
heart goes out in sympathy to any
and every man who is unfortunate
enough to be the father of two or
more girls. ........
So there you are-sixty years of
a wasted misspent life of worry. So
far no one by the name of Smith
has ever graced the Presidents
chair and my girls are all married.
AS an improver of the race I am
about as useful as the extra curl
in a little pigs tail.
Hoping you are the same, I beg
to remain, yours truly,
z LESLIE j. SMITH.
