of the legislature. To round out the
interim committee the governor named
the following:
Dean E. H. Comstock, for many years
associated with the University School
of Mines. Carl H Schuster, city at
torney of Biwabik and Gilbert, former
president of the League of Minnesota
Municipalities and one-time head OF
the Minnesota tax conference. DR.. j.
T. Mcleod, Grand Rapids, former state
senator and active supporter of Hjalmar
Petersen, Farmer-Labor gubernatorial
candidate.
Senator Weber of the committee is
a newspaper publisher in his home
town, Slayton. He publishes the Muir
ray County Herald, one of the most
influential weekly papers in the state
and in his issue of last week very
pointedly voices his dissatisfaction over
the non-fulfillment of the promises
made to put our house in order" and
cites Virginia as the glaring example of
inactivity along this line.
80
He cites the statements made by the
Rev. Father Powers, R. R. Bailey, Grove
Wills, Leslie Tobin, Percy Barker, Judge
Mark Nolan, Senator Richard Kelly
and. Fred Gina in particular and a
great many others in general, that they
would see that the expenditures in
range towns would be curtailed in no
small degree and that 'we will set our
house in order without any outside
interference"
mo doubt such promises were made
in good faith" says Senator Weber in
his editorial "but what are promises
when people on the range elect men to
office who frown upon them and
brazenly vote more and more funds
for public expenditures"
He then cited an orgy of spending in
southern Minnesota towns a few years
back when new school buildings, pave
ment, water works and sewage systems
and municipal electric plants were built
right and left. 1.-THE taxpayer was
deluded by super prosperity" said the
editorial. But a time of depression
came along. Villages and cities saw
the wolfish stare of bankruptcy focused
constantly upon them. Did they con-
tinue the spending spree? They did
not. They cut expenditures to the bone
with the result that the principal and
interest on bond issues were met. I'm
provements were halted the while the
bills of former years were paid.
why cannot range towns do the
same? The people of southern Min
nesota have a right to feel that mines
are their heritage as well as of the
people of the north. They have a
right to demand that excessive public
so that savings so made can help take
up the tax burden of the rest of the
state. Virginia has set poor example.
Her councilmen are fiddling while
Rome burns"
This heritage stuff, Senator Weber
speaks about in his editorial, is just
so much "bush-wah." Why the mines
should be a heritage any more than
the quarries of southern Minnesota or
the flour mills of Minneapolis, is not
stated
His editorial was occasioned by the
ceiling" levy made by Virginia of
$862610. Virginia figured in much of
the discussion and argument before the
legislature. Caustically referring to
the City of Virginia in particular,
he hits the entire iron range in
his newspaper. Judging from this and
the actions of range communities in
making maximum levies it appears very

Argentine government evidently IS
making a thorough investigation, as
indicated by subsequent dispatches.
1t obviously is genuinely worried.
This speaks for excellent propagan-
distic follow-up methods on the
theory that the thing is propaganda.
Yet maybe it isn't. still don't think
tht Der Fuehrer, at the present stage
of the game, tried to start anything
so. far from home. Nevertheless,
there's the chance that German-Ar-
gentine hotheads were doing bit of
real plotting. In that, case, perhaps
they tipped off their scheme to Ger
many's Buenos Aires embassy, which
naturally would have been SYM
pathetic toward it Then the news
leaked. All that's conceivable.
It couldn't imaginably have been

Latin America Now isn't the proper
juncture, though. It's much too early
for them to accomplish anything de-
finite and they simply are creating
sentiment against themselves, which
will count later.
Furthermore, Argentina was the
very worst place for such a cam
paign to be launched. Germans are
exceptionally, influential in that re-
public. They're stronger also in ad-
joining southern Brazil, but there
they're an outlying colony. In the

COMMUNICATIONS, either. Our Ger
man-Americans are predominantly
American. The Argentine's Germans
stay German. I've mentioned anti
German riots in, Buenos Aires. Does
that imply that there are not many
of them? By no means. 1t implies
that there are so many of them, and
that they try TO be to dominant that
they're hated.

Nuisance of Innumer-
able Collections from
Students

Parents of students in the Hender-
son high school have been asked for
an expression on a proposal for eli
mination of the myriad fees asses
Sed against the students and collect
ed at different times and for vary
ing purposes during the school year.
"A statement of the plan in detail was
sent to parents by the principal, Prof.
e w. d. Payne, today, and many have
I. already been returned.
=. Instead Of the fees collected here
tofore, it is planned to charge each
student So per semester, or 81 per
year, this to care for admissions of
7. the pupil to all varsity athletic con-
tests, to all class plays, donations to
the community chest, Red Cross roll
" call, tuberculosis seals, cripple chill
dren seals and other charities, a SUBJ
scription to the Bulldog and four pay
programs in the high school audi
forum.
If the 81 fee plan is adopted, all
other fees of every description and
type would be abolished, the state
ment said. The plan has the approval
of the city school board and Super
.intendent E. M. Rollins. Such fee,
however, would not eliminate State
book rentals, paper, pencils and note
books.
3. Neither the State nor the city pro-
vides funds to supply supplementary
books and materials for the high
school, for physical education, athle-
ties and the like, and all clubs and
activities have to be supported by
the students themselves.
School fees collected from those
students concerned include so cents
per year for science courses, 81 for
tipping fee, five cents for ink for
students, and $3.50 for activity cards,
this latter covering athletic events,
plays and the like.
Various other fees, which are COL
1ected only from those students con-
cerned, include these: Received by
Mr.. Miller, towel fee, so cents; Miss
Morton, 10 cents for spelling pads,
the same amount for the same pur-
pose to Miss Benson; 81 to Miss Byrd
for history supplies; so cents to Miss
Turnage for mathematics work book:
to Miss Ramseur, 60 cents for book

and the funds go for costs of GER

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

il. A.: "Can you please tell me
about wens or tumors on the head1
Please state the cause and what can
be done to cure them" X
Answer-A wen is due to the
stoppage of the outlet of one of the
grease glands of Che skin. These
glands pour a natural grease on the
surface of the skin, which keeps it
soft and oily. When the duct on the
surface of the skin becomes stopped
up, the grease accumulates behind
and causes a swelling. Small ones
can be opened and grease squeezed
out, but when they become large
this treatment is not sufficient be-
cause they recur. A very simple
minor surgical operation, however,
removes the grease and the lining
of the sac and results in a per-
manent cure.
