THIS evening the people of Be widji will be called upon to de- cide whether they will authorize the board of education to issue bonds in the sum of ten thousand dollars to provide for additional school room, It is regretable that additional debt should be necessary, but any town which grows as rap- idly as has Bemidji, invariably finds itself compelled to go into debt to provide for the prover education of its children. The present enrollment figures show conclusively that more room is urgently needed at present and no one can doubt that the school attendance next year will be even greater than it is at present. Moreover Bemidji has come to cover a considerable territory and it is time that one or more school houses were built in the outlying districts that the child- ren be not compelled to walk so far to school. Improvements in the work of the school, like the addition of a normal training de- partment, which will be added without expense to the city but with much profit toit, arein con- templation and these cannot be made unless additional reom is provided. In view of these facts it would seem that the proposition to bond for $10,000 for additional school room is a very reasonable one. An Important Measure. ONE of the bills of great im- portance to the people of North- ern Minnesota that is now pend- ing in the legislature, notes the Crookston Times, is the Cole bill for the establishment of an im- migration bureau in this state. In the central agricultural states such as Towa and Illinois, many of the renters as well as land owners themselves are constant- ly leaving in search of cheaper lands. While Minnesota as a whole has been widely advertised, it must not be forgotten that there are other regions where advant- ages are offered to the home- seeker. Idaho, Oregon, Wash- ington and other states have been putting forth every effort to pro- mote immigration, and to the north, the Canadian immigration bureau has been spending im- mense sums to secure settlers for a vast territory recently be- ing opened up by the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern. Every means of advertising have been made use of and this year more determined efforts than ever are being used to entice the American farmer across the boundary where cheap lands can be secured. Thus the need of an immigra- tion bureau in Minnesota is felt more keenly. The special ad- vantages of Minnesota should be advertised broadcast, and the home seekers from farther east made conversant with the school, church, railroads and other ad- va.niages enjoyed here that can- not be realized in the newer por- tions of Canada for many &ears to come and then at .an expense of millions of dollars to the new comer. Here they are already established—and paid for by the pioneers of this section. Every member of the legisla- ture from northern Minnesota should stand finit@d for legisla- tion establishing an immigration bureau and at this time it would |The Daily P-rlo'née [ Grygla gets a creamery. —o— Did All Fools day take you in? 7 —o— Big bear story from Kelliher. —O— The Soo builds through War- ren. —0— The Seventeenth de Mai is next. —0— Ada's base ball team facto. is de Silegcn Spring poetry gets its first wind. = —0— The caw of the crow is heard at Bagley. —0— - The beggars have come to town —at Fargo. —0— The St. Hilaire creamery yields rich profits. ©—— Anybody can have today for the claiming of it. . —_—— Starch factory in contempla- tion at Park Rapids, - Staples nails downa basket ball victory at Perham. —0— St. Cloud has a paper mill and a canning factory preserved in paper.

BIG MAJORITY OF HOUSE MEM- BERS ALSO VOTE FOR 'SHE BILL AND PASS IT. 8t. Paul, March 31.—Senator Horton ealled up the capitol bill Thursday end moved its passage, notwithstand- ing the veto of Governor Johnson. The veto message of the governor was received by the senate on Tuesday. Senator Schaller asked that the bill be read, as he did not know exactly the nature of its provisions. The bill was read. ‘Senator Schaller, opposingpthe bili, said it was a new departurckin legis- lation. REither the capitol;was com- pleted or the senators weredtenants at will. He thought, for all practical purposes, ‘the capitol building was completed. Senator Witherstine said:he recog- nized the uselessness of saying any- thing at this time. He appealed for fair play. He realized that avmajority of the senate had already reached a yonclusion. Senator McGill of Ramsey «on behalf »f the Republican members,.read the statement prepared by a committee, consisting of Senators Lord, Brower, ‘Wilson, Somerville and Hortion. This statement in brief. was to the effect that the Republican members of the senate in their action on the Horton bill, were not governed by any per- sonal pique or party consideration. They held the capifolyto be not com- pleted and that the commission has not finished its work. In short, they hold the whole matter to be a differ- ence of opinion between:them and the governor as to a matter of detail and expediency. - Horton’s Motion) Prevailed: The roll was then called on Sena- tor Horton’s motion /to pass the bill over the governor's veto, and the mo- tion prevailed by a, vote of 46 ayes to 13 nays. All thej Repuhfican mem- bers voted in the anflrmntwe, except Senators Naiseth and Wood. All the Democrats present votéd in the nega- tive. It required a.two-thirds vote, or 42, to pass the bill The message from the semate, con- taining the Horton bill, the governor's veto message and the senate’s vote, with the committee’s statement of the senate’s position was received at 3:30 o'clock by the house .and immediately a call of the house was ordered. “ A to- tal of 114 members was rounded up and without debate the roll was called. The Horton bill was passed by a vote of 87 to 25, 14 Republicans voting against the measure. The senate passed two of the seven bills on the calendar, one of them be- ing Senator Horton’s measure making it a misdemeanor for coal dealers to |- shortweight their customers when selling them coal. Excellent headway was made by the committee of the whole, 36 out of the 51 bills listed being recommended to |. pass. Among them were Senator Thompson’s automobile bill. fixing the maximum speed of autos throughout the state at eighteen miles an hour, and Senator Somerville's. bill taxing inheritances. PASSES THE PERLEY BILL. be a good thing for various cifies | ¢ of the state to bring a little pres- Thursday. decided o vision of state educational institutions, including the university and the five normal schools, from the hands of the board of control. This was accom- plished by the passage of the Perley bill by the vote given above. The vic- tory, was so degisive that the friends of the bill are now confident that they will secure its approval by the senate. ’ The “kangaroo court” at the state fair grounds will not be disturbed at this session of the legislature. The committee on agriculture of the house reported adversely on a bill by J. T. Rosenthal to place the appointment of the court in the hands of the govern- or, and the report was sustained. When the bill was read, Mr. Rosen- thal asked for a reversal at the hands of the house, and he had prompt sup- porters in J. F. Selb, Burdett Thayer, J. G. Lennon, J. R. Hickey and oth- ers. J. A. Anderegg argued for the committee report. The vote on the proposed reversal was close, but the committes pre- vailed. The bill was indefinitely post- poned. The house passed the commitiec bill authorizing countiés 1o license hawkcrs and peddlers and fixing maxi- mum tax at $100. The vote was 70 to 25. The bill had the indorsement oi the retail grocers’ associatioons. Though ongly oy ed when first introduced, Mr. Robert’s bill, prohib- iting the distribution of political printed matter within 300 feet of a polling place, passéd the house. It was amended so as to limit the pre- hibition only to cities of 75,000 and over. - P..E. Dowling secured the introduc- tion and passage of a bill allowing cities and villages in St. Louis coun- ty to establish water, light and heat boards. By a decisive vote the house held that the national bankruptey act was a good law and voted down Senator Coller’s bill to petition congress for its repeal. l AMUSEMENTS I Happy Hooligan, the real musi- cale comedy success, will be pre sented here April 6 at the Grand Opera house.
