school. We now have law which
enables the school board of the
district to close the school where
arrangements can be made to
transport the children to another
school more cheaply. I think these
matters shouls be let substantial
ly as they are and this seems to
be the opinion of most of the
people I have heard from and
talked to at this time.
The cost per pupil fer the school
year 1878 in aonle range towns
runs as high as $500, while the
state average is $81. This only
shows that communities will take
advantage of ''nest egg that
may some day go glimmering. The
state wants little more money
from the mines and a bill now
proposes to give a little less to
some of the extravagant commun-
tiles so the state may benefit as
whole. The bill proposes to cut
few of the more eXtravagant
school districts to a level with
Hibbing and a few other range
schools which have a cost per pu-
pill of about $185. AS comparison
we might cite per pupil costs in
few cities down this way: North
field, $85; Willmar SOS, Jackson,
SGT; Owatonna, ST., Rochester
S79.

by the supreme court. Now its a
problem of the state to get good
portion of this back on the tax
rolls. Approximately three million
acres is in the northern part of
the state and in IL counties, but
the total represents land in all
sections of the state. This is prob
ably just another of the various
reasons why the tax bill is con-
tinually nightmare.
Speaking of taxes, the appro-
priation committees of both hous-
es (the committees that either
make or break the state) are real
ly composed of members intent on
keeping expenses to a minimum.
Just what results they can achieve
with all departments crying for
more, can best be told two years
from now.
Appropriations Slashed
To give you an idea of the &C
ton taken in the senate finance
committee and its trend toward
economy I give you the results of
but one committee meeting: The
department of labor and industry,
which asked for $709, 032, was CIV
en- $493, 539 almost entirely in al
lowances for salaries and for sup
plies and expense. The state bank
ing department took a slash from
$257, 500 asked to $4,000 allow
ed. The state securities division
was cut from $4,000 to SAT, 500.
The attorney generals office ask
ed for $613,840, but this was cut
to $215,000.
I have received a number of
letters and visits concerning the
one-cent gas tax, the mill road
tax, aid to schools from the in
come tax fund, and the action of
the state board of education to
carry out their threat to close all
small country schools and trans
port the children to some other

Legislative
Sidelights
By H. E. S,oennes

Last week was dull one in the
house of representatives as that
body spent the entire week on
amendments to the civil service
bill. Believe it or not, any amend
ment of importance takes all af-
ternoon before a vote is secured.
1t would seem almost ridiculous
to spend hours to decide whether
or not highway patrolmen should
be exempted from the civil SER
vice act, but after everyone who
feels he is entitled to a few min
utes, whether it is consequential
or not, Or repetition, has had his
say, most of the afternoon is shot.
And they still may be debating
this bill as this is read.
Since the ruling by the attorney
general that women under 81 are
minors and that consequently
they must have consent of parents
or guardians before marriage Ii
censes were issued, a bill has been
introduced giving them their ma
jority at 10 years as far as the
issuing Of marriage licenses is
concerned. This has been the
practice in this state for years but
a revision OF the probate code in
1887 made the legal age for men
and women 81 years, with the i'm
plication that this would apply in
all questions of majority.
Taxes A Nightmare
The state owns some 4,577,000
acres of land forfeited for nom
payment of taxes and the law Civ
ing the state full title was ruled
