metropolitan areas, and by so
doing "encouage the
preservation of open space as
an amenity necessary to hui
man welfare and happiness"
This Is certainly worthwhile.
H ever, un t or tunate-
ly, many farmers" and land
spectators in this County
have used this act to justify
low taxes and yet, at the same
time, have actively opposed
any suggestion that they
should have low density or
agricultural coming for their
land because it would
prevent them from developing
their land" In other words
they are eager to accept low
taxes in exchange for keeping
their land open but they want
to develop it too. Most farms
in the Upper County are
zoned for the smallest size lot
allowed by the Health Depart
ment, for septic tanks and
wells - 10000 square feet -
less than a half acre.
The present Upper County
opposition to the General
Plan (or any plan) proposed
for the County by the Park
and Planning Commission
stems from the reluctance of
the landowners to accept low
density zoning. Actually, the
way things are now, the ma
jority of the taxpayers are
carrying a larger tax load to
make up for the lower taxes
being paid by a minority in
the Upper County. Most tax
payers would be quite willing
to do this if open space was
truly being preserved, but
with no restrictions on devel-
opment In the rural areas, the
spectators are being subsi-
died and the open space is
still vanishing.
In order to correct this un-
fair situation the Farm AS
sessment Act must be amend
ed to provide that in order to
qualify for the lower farm as
sessment a landowner must
accept agricultural coming for
his land. (This would be the
rural-agricultural zone CR-A)
or two acre minimum lot
size.)
1t is unfair, to the other
taxpayers of the County, for
the speculative landowners of

Their efforts were climaxed at
the Minnesota Independent School

Charles Hogg, who pleaded gull
ty Feb. 21, to murder in the second
degree in the September %, 1862
shooting-slaying of his wife Leona,
963 Dayton Av., st. Paul will be
sentenced February % by Ramsey
county district court Judge AIbin
S. Pearson.
Originally charged with murder
in the first degree for his second
wife's Staying. Hogg was allowed
to enter a guilty plea on a lesser
count upon motion of Ramsey
county attorney William B. Randall
who told the court reduction in the
charge was made feasible by cir
cumstances in the case.
In 1851 Hogg was convicted of
manslaughter in the shooting of an
earlier wife and served term in
Saltwater.
Hogg took the stand and des-
cribed the fatal wounding of his
wife and his version of what led
to the shooting. He admitted his
wife had previously instituted d.
vorce action against him. He
claimed she had abandoned the
divorce move once but she had re-
Gently made plans to reinstitute
action.
He met his wife on the fatal day
in front of the family home. Hogg
argued with her and then walked
around the house and shot her near
the side door.
Judge Pearson ordered a proba-
ton office investigation before
sentencing Hogg.
The second degree murder
charge carries a sentence of up to
40 years and could be doubled by
the prior manslaughter conviction.
Hogg is a veteran of World War
I, and is said to have suffered
serious shrapnel wounds in Battle
Of the Argonne. He has a so per

them on issues of policy and
power.
The conservatives on the steer
ing committee demonstrated their
control of the Senate in the 10
to-5 vote which killed the effort to
expand the finance committee.
The liberals, supported by
President Kennedy, wanted to
add two seats to the committee
as to marshal the needed sup
port for the administrations tax
bill.
But the steering committee con-
servatives stood behind the
staunchly conservative chairman Of
the Finance Committee, Harry F.
Byrd (D-va.), who strenuously OPP
posed the expansion. Byrd is an
avid segregationist.
Having disposed of the Finance
Committee move - possibly any
real hope for the Presidents tax
bill, the steering committee then
proceeded to mete out further
punishment to those who had
fought against the filibuster.
Although the ruling members of
the Senate club have always been
stickers about their own seniority
rights, they largely overlooked the
seniority rights Of those who had
opposed them in the filibuster
