TN Y p¥ among themselves some $75,000 spent hit and miss, here and ‘| there allover the state, withovt regard to the real needs of the state, without respect to any plan or system whatever. If the present legislature ad- journs without making a -liberal appropriation for drainage we shall have to accuse its members of plain stupidity. The need of systematic and extensive state drainage is admitted by all. The fact that the state actually de- rives a profit from the work that it undertakes has been demon- strated abundantly. The busi- ness man that would pass up such an opportunity .‘would be thought a fool. Northern Minnesota is some- what to blame itself however. It can today bring pressure enough to bear to obtain the passage of the drainage laws its wants. All that is necessary is that the towns of this part of the state send delegations to St. Paul to urge the matter on the legislat- ure; yet we do nothing. Th& legislature is beginning to hedge; what is northern Minne- sota going to do about it? arguments that are brought against the passage of the reciprogal demurrage bill in the senate are amusing. It is noticeable that opponents of the bill are not urging that the bill is unjust to the railroads. The argument is far more subtle. The bill will grind the small ship- per in the dust they say,while the big.shipper will pick up a pro- fit. Strange isn’t it what an in- terest is worked up suddenly 1n the under dog? And strange, too, isn’t it, that a reform bill of this kind always bears so hard upon these who most need relief. And strangest of all, isn’t it, that the people can’t see it that way? THE It SEEMS that Minnesota is not availing itself of the acres given by the national government to the state for an experimental forest reserve. There is a bill before the legislature carrying a small appropriation to begin this work but no one seems to care much about its fate. It is time that Minnesota made a beginning in this matter. MINNESOTA lost a good man when Col. William M. Liggett re- signed as a member of the board of regents of the state university. The work of Coi. Liggett has made a deep impression upon the big school and its growing fame is in a considerable measure due to him. The state is fortunatein retaining his services as dean of the agricultural college. T S D GREAT abuses come upon ‘us slowlyand werid ourselvesof them justasslowly.

SENATORS ALSO PUT IN A VERY BUSY DAY IN PRESENTING b} NEW LEGISLATION. 1 St. Paul, March 27.—The house of the Minnesota legislature Saturday shattered all previous legislatuve rec- ords in the matter of introduction of Dbills. A total of 102 new bills was presented on the last day permitted for the introduction of bills, unless the consent of the governor is first obtained. Two years ago a total if 63 bills marked the seventieth day of the ses- sion. The total number of bills intro- dnced to date is 855. Two years ago, on the corresponding date, there were 908 bills introduced, but while the to- tal is less by 53 than two years ago, no such rush two years ago marked the proceed(ngs The house'did little else than intro. duce bills. Scarcely were the decks cleared for action when the rush be- gan. The clerks read industriously until after 12 o'clock, There were still more bills on the desk. Some- body moved an adjournment for Iunch. The adjournment was until 2:15 o’clock. Members tnfle\i to go selt more and more the- real}te & mined to get In before the gavel fell on the day’s business and with it the opportunity for new legislation. ‘When the time for eonvening the afternoon session arrived several members were still busy on bills in the committee rooms. Word was sent to Speaker Clague to delay call- ing the house to order until every- body had accomplished the drafting of new measures so important to their authors in time for introduction. This was done and ‘the big clock in the chamber lacked but a minute of reg istering 4 o’clock when the final bill of the big grist was read and referred. This was offered by John Landeen of Douglas, and was house file No. 855, heing a bill for an act to create a state license for persons engaged in the survey of lands. Little Other Business Transacted. Tt took the house less than another minute to adjourn to 2 o’clock Mon- day afternoon. It had been one of the busiest days of the session. But one bill had been passed, neither the calendar nor the general orders had been touched, and but for the intro- duction of bills the day had been al- most a blank. The Dbills cover almost every con- ceivable subject of legislation. Old- time members did not hesitate to say that of the 102 bills introduced there were at least a dozen woodchucks. They did not include in this number bills of a purely local nature. There were three or four relating entirely to Ramsey county affairs, with as many respectively in which Minneapo- lis and Duluth solely are concerned. Salary bills bobbed up from different quarters of the house, bills relating to liquor laws, food laws, insurance matters, regulation of public service corporations, ete. The proceedings were enlivened by 2 wordy clash over the oleomargarine bill between Burdette Thayer and M. D. Flower, in which Mr. Thayer ac- cused Mr. Flower of making a false statement. Mr. Thayer apologized and the incident closed. The members of the board of con- trol for the management of state char- itable and penal institutions are to be elected by a bill introduced by Rep- resentative J. A. Gates of Kenyon. Bookmaking and the sale of pools at race tracks of agricultural societies and driving clubs is allowed by al bill introduced by John L. Oleson. BUSY TIME FOR THE SENATE. Flood of New Measures on Last Day. The last day for the introduction’ of bills brought a flood of measures in the senate. There were forty-one in- troduced in the morning session and seventeen in the afternoon session. Senator Henry Morgan of Albert Lea introduced a bill creating a joint commission of three senators and four representatives to revise the re- vision of the code and discharging the commission. Senator Everett of Le Sueur intro- duced a bill for the punishment of persons, copartnerships or corpora- tions forming pools, trists or com bines. Any violation of the aet is made a felony. Charters may he re- voked upon conviction and heavy fines may be imposed. A delegation from the Minnesota Editorial association visited the sen- ate at the afternoon session, and in cousequence about a dozen bills relat- ing to publication of official matter by legal newspapers, and defining legal newspapers, were introduced and re- ferred to the commijtee on printing. Only three bills, all of a minor character, were passed in the senate. A measure by Senator Mclowan calls for a radical change in the state’s dairy and food department by placing the food commission under the control of the state board of health and giving that board power to appoint and remo¥e the members of the dairy and food commission. The bill does not affect the present commission. Introduced Incredible Bratality. . It would have been ineredible brutality if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracnse, N. Y,, had not done the best he could for his suffer- ing son. “My boy,” he says, t‘cut a fearful gash over his eye, so I applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which quickly healed it and saved his eye.” Good for burns and ulcers too.
