WHEN the enthusiastic state drainage league meeting was held at Crookston early this month some of us fondly im- agined that the business of drainage in Minnesota was as \ | good as done, and that we could now sit back and see the devel- opment of the state go on un-|. hampered. The ignorance that prevails in regard to drainage, however, is astonishing. The A Albert Lea Enterprise, for in- stance, in its issue of- August 16 calls Senator Laybourn of Du- ‘“father of northern drainage agitation,” a statement I(\ in itself showing that the Enter- A|prise has given the drainage - | matter only the most incidental attention, and continues witha \ | long editorial against the loan eof A\ | state money for drainage pur- \ | poses. The Enterprise says: Seme time ago |Senator Lay- IQ bourn of Duluth, who is the father of northern drainage agi- tation, made the statement that St. Louis county had nearly one and one-half million acres of wet |} "%. [land or more than twice the area { [subject to drainage in the two \ | congressional districts which make up the southeastern portion of the state. Now if the State Investment Board adopts the policy of loaning to counties for drainage purposes it does not re- quire much imagination to realize how readily not only the two mil- lions of Virginia bonds can be “invested” but the entire school fund. of nine millions as well. Freeborn county has about 15,000 acres of wet land in Riceland and Moscow and it is estimated that it will cost in the neighborhood of ten dollars per acre to drain it. At.this rate the entire school fund of the state would only be sufficient to reclaim two-thirds of the swamp area of St. Louis county. The inference that it will cost $10 per acre to drain the lands of the state is simply silly beside the report of the engineer of the state drainage commission show- ing that all the state lands that have been drained thus far have been drained at a cost of $1 per acre. What a good many of our southern Minnesota friends seem unable to understand, however, is that what the advocates of drainage want the state to do is to drain the state lands, not priv ate lands, and that money which it is proposed toloan for drain- age is to terms as makes the state -abso- lutely secure. But most stran;e of all is the fact that so many of our southern friends fail to com- prehend that the protits of drain- age work will put three dollars into their pockets to every one it puts into the pockets of north- ern Minnesota. be loaned under such THE state board of investment has refused to endorse State Treasurer Block’s plan to sell the two million Virginia three per cent bonds which the state owns and invest the proceeds in drain- ageandschool bonds of Minnesota drawing four per cent. This seems to be where Bob Dunn has scored as he was the only man in the state to raise his voice against the proposition. The vote was unanimous against the proposi- mvvvv“v* duced rates.

There is now-a state law requiring the loan of drainage money at three per cent, so thatonly a portion of the proceeds could be loaned at four per cent.
