The legislature cost the taxpayers of Minnesota exactly $300,139.88. When all bills are paid, including ex- pense accounts and final clerical work, the total will be increased by several thousand dollars. Sixty- seven senators were paid $67,000 and 130 representatives were paid $130,- 000, while the salary of the lieuten- ant governor totaled $2,000; senate employes, $33,127; house employes, $45,321; senate mileage, $2,283.90; house mileage, $4,922.80 and mis- cellaneous, $14,396.68.

Lee thinks he has found a good excuse for entering upon another fight for the governorship. He be- lieves that it was owing to his ac- tivity that sentiment was created for the passage of the county option bill. However, the state has had so much of William’s candidacy that it will take something more than that claim to bring him the required popularity. C. A. Lindbergh, who has had about all he wants of congressional honors, is said to be ready for a try at the governorship, while Sam Iverson, who was one of the “eliminated” in the last campaign, can-also be counted upon as a candidate.—Morris Sun. 3 S There is a general complaiat al ever the eountry of the fheficiemey “Blue sky” legislation to regulate sale of securities.
