There are fully as many pro- posals for the amendment of the primary election law as here are legislators and it would be diffi- cult to make a successful predie- tion at this time as to the form in which the law will be left when the legislature adjourns in the spring. % There is this to be thought of howeyer. If the primary law is a good thing, it is a good thing for all offices. There can be no good reason which some officers should be nominated under the primary system and others under the convention system. If weare to us apply it to every office in the state. If this is done we must face the fact that there will shortly be uo more political part- ies in Minnesota. The two ex- periences we have had with the the primary election law demon- strate conclusively that it abso- lutely kills off the weaker party and at-the same time makes the stronger party simply a con- glomeration of all other parties. In other words the whole people of the state will get together and nominate republican candidates and the election of these candi- dates will be a foregone conclu- With the primary law of uniyersal application there is no escape from this condition of affairs. Look at Beltrami county and you have the most abundant proof. A score of other counties in the state offer equally conclu- sive proof. sion. The primary election law means the abolition of our pres-: ent political system. State Hail Insurance. The proposal to inauguratea system of state hail insurance has gained immensely in favor during the past two years. The plan was first proposed two years ago by Senator A. D. Stephens of Crookston whose idea was to levy a tax of say five cents per acre upon the agricul- tural lands of the state, the money so received to form a fund from which all losses by hail should be paid. This plan in- volved an insigniticant burden up- on the farmers of the state and at the same lime formed absolute protection from losses by hail-—a thing which the farmers of Min- nesota have neyer yet had de- spite the fact that they have paid thousands of dollars in premiums for hail insurance. Two years ago there was opposition to the plan because it involves the appli- cation of the principle of patern- alism and no one. is prepared to apply this principle generally to the conduct of affairs. It was also agreed that’ any law of this kind would be unconstitutional. There is now, however, a pro- nounced sentiment in favor of a constitutional amendment mak- ing a system of state hail insur- ance and itis entirely possible that such an amendment will be submitted to the voters of the stateat the next general election.
