Stephens has in- troduced a bill to provide for a constitutional amendment by which the cost of drainage may be assessed against the state lands benefited and may be paid out of the price obtained for these lands. The plan isa most ra- tional one. It has been conclus- ively demonstrated that drainage of state lands has added to their value two and three hundred per cent so that in every case the in- creased value of the land has far more than paid for the expense of drainage. In other words the state has made a profit on every ditch it has dug in ‘horthern Minnesota while at the same time vastly benefiting private lands. Senator Stephens’ plan will avoid the necessity of biennial appropriations for drainage and will furnish abundant means with which to carry on the work ona scale which the needs of northern Minnesota demand and that without adding a penny to the burden of the tax payers of the state. The Country Beats The Town. Forthe next fiscal year twenty- six million dollars will be spent in maintaining rural free-delivery routes. This is three millions more than city free delivery costs. Although the rural delivery system was begun only eight years ago it has already outstrip- ped the city delivery system while the demand for additional rural routes is daily increasing ata tremendous rate. There are today 81,000 rural delivery routes against 21,000 city routes, and of these almost twelve hundred are in Minnesota, while the depart: ment is planning to install many more in the state within a short time, The rural delivery system bids fair to become within a very few years the most important division of the entire postal system. [ AMUSEMENTS | Tomorrow evening at the Opera House Manager Wheelock will present for the first time here the successful scenic comedy drama ““A Hidden Crime.” The play is from the pen of John P. Lockney. J.M. Morgan has made an elaborate production of Mr. Lockuney’s play and the critics of all thé larger cities have spoken kindly of it. The playis adra- matic tale of love and intrigue, with pride on one side and hate and jealousy on the other, are the motives impelling the actions of the chief operators. There isa wealth of human interest in the play and the comedy element is said to be unusually strong, The scenes are laid in and around San Francisco, showing the beautiful Golden Gate Har- bor, Chinatown, and its opium and absinthe fiends, the magnifi cent Rose Garden in full bloom, and the sensational breaking of a { suspension bridge. The cast selected by Mr. Ward for ““A Hidden Crime” included Mr. John P. Lockney, the author, and Miss Pauline Fletcher, Leave for Canada. W, Walker and Marion Hazen left last night for Winnipeg, Man., where they each havea position with the Canadain Paci- fic railway. Both gentlemen are old time “rails” and have spent several yearsin the employ of the M. & I. running out of this city. Have your fortune tol& at’ the Degree of Honor Bazaar. SENATE MEMBERS VOTE TO IN: DEFINITELY POSTPONE PE- TER_SON'S MEASURE. BMITH’S SALARY INCREASE BILL ONCE MORE FAILS TO PASS IN THE HOUSE. St. Paul, March 25.—When the sen- ate judiciary committee reported out the Peterson anti-pass bill Friday for an indefinite postponement, Senator Cole presented a minority report, ask- Ing that the bill be printed and placed on general orders. Mr. Peterson said that passes should be abolished. The railroads- tlaimed they were losing money on passenger traflic. Be that as it may, it was his opinion that such carriers were deriving a large revenue from all sources. senger rate would be fair. ‘After considerable talk on the sub- ject the motion to adopt the minority report was defeated by a vote of 3% to 26. A minority report was presented Friday from the senate finance com- mittee, on Senator Cole’s bill, original- ly fixing the salary of the insurance zommissioner at $5,000. The majority report favored fixing the salary. of that officer at $4,500, and the minority re- jort at $3,600. The present salary $2,500. Minority Report Voted Down. The minority report also favored lopping off the actuary and cashier employed in that office. The minority report was down—43 to 17. Two temperance measures were of- tered in the house. One, by O. E. Hogue, prohibits the sale of intoxicat- Ing liquors to habitual drunkards. Senator Rieke entered a vigorous protest against referring a bill of his, now on general orders, to the finance committee. The bill of Mr. Rieke seeks to raise the salaries of district and supreme judes. At the opening of the session Sena- tor Thorpe moved the reference to the senate committee, but later with- drew his motion. Senator Stephens introduced a bill providing for an appropriation of $37,000 for the equipment of a state farm at Crookston. voted REBUKED BY THE SPEAKER. Representative, Ware Comments on Action of the Senate. A. K. Ware of Rice county was per- sonally rebuked by Speaker Clague Friday in the course of the debate on the Smith members’ salary bill. Mr. Ware explained his vote in favor of the bill, declaring that he would vote for it without fear of being called down in the senate, and conclud “1t is time that the house asserted itself. I don’t intend to stand for that combine over in the senate. They have heen making monkeys of us long enough.” R. J. Wells called the member to or- der and the speaker said: “It is improper for a member on the floor of the house to refer to anything done by the senate or to comment on the senate.” Mr. Warc's grievance was that the senate had defeated the anti-pass bill. The Smith salary bill was putto a vote the second time Friday, and lacked only one vote of passage. There were 59 ayes and 50 noes. S. S. Smith, the author, changed his vote from aye to no, for the purpose of moving another reconsideration. Mr. Smith declared there were sev- eral members in the house committee rooms who had promised to vote for his bill and then dodged. J. T. Mannix of Minneapolis, a bachelor member of the house, has a scheme to bring about a uniformity of divorce laws in the United States. To Discuss Needed Reforms. He would have needed reforms dis- ecussed at a national gathering of pub- lic men, to be held at Washington, and there each pledged to return to his state and have the same enacted in the shape of laws. Mr. Mannix took the initial step Friday. when he offiered a bill provid- ing for the appointment of a commis- sion of three, one to be a lawyer, they to codify the present divorce laws, suggest needed substitutes and pre- sent the same to the governor. The governor, in turn, is to com- municate with governors of other ntates, suggest a similar commis- sion and then arrange for a stated meeting at Washington, where a uni- fomity of laws shall be agreed upon. The findings are then to be submitted to the meeting of the next legislature. Ancther temperance bill, by Ole L Opdahl, prohibits the sale of liquors within the confines of any consoli- dated school district and a mile be- yond the limits. Tt is quite drastic. The house passed without a dissent- ing vote the Marcus Lauritsen bill de- sfkned to protect the merchants of Minnesota from the competition of “box car” merchants whose goods are not subject to the state inspection that is given to Minnesota products. A hill designed to do away with the 10 cent telephone toll between the Twin Cities was introduced in the house by D. I. Hammergren of Ram- sey. Saturday, March 25, is the last day for introducing bills in the house and senate. April 18 is the day for ad. journment. Attorney General Young has so ruled.

Took the $1.25 and got skinned. He’d have got three- quarters skinned if he’d taken the other. - The $1.30 was full gallon; the $1.25 was 18 per cent short. The full-measure paint was adulterat- ed 40 per cent; the short-meas- ure paint adulterated 45 per cent besides kenzine in the oil, don’t know how much. Devoe lead-and-zinc wasn’t sold in town then.
