From the above it will' be seen that Representative J. J. Opsahl of this city has been placed as chairman of the immigration committee, one of the most important committees in the en- tire list. Much legislation that will assist in developing this north country should be passed at this session, and Mr. Opsahl will be in a position to aid very materially in securing the desired laws. Mr. Opsahl was prominently : 3 chairman of the mmittee and was 3presentative Knox. 3 candidate secured Wright of Henne- r, Mr. Opsahl is'a e drainage commit- > much good along securing rightful slation at this ses- has been treated ; ra new member, appointed on the 1mittees: Board of, 1age, elections, tax ana vax laws and immigration. The straightforward manner in which Mr. Opsahl is taking hold of the work in the legisla- ture is making many friends for him, and the Beltrami county member of the house is already taking his place among the “solid” members. It is reported that there is a movement among country mer- chants in certain places to organ: ize opposition to the 2-cent pas- senger fare bill which has been introduced in the legislature. This opposition is not likely to be strenuous or effective. Tt arises, doubtless, in small communities, near large ones, where the mer- chants fear cheaper railroad rates will induce patrons to do more shopping in the large com- mercial centers. This does not cover very much territory, and it is doubtful if the country wer- chants will generally be drawn into the fight. The 2-cent fare bill, at this writing, appears to ' T g —— Senator Gunn has prepared a bill providing for a new normal school at Cass Lake. The bill does not carry an-appropriation, but merely provides for starting the proceeding so that the- next legislature may finl; the money to be used in building the normal. The Pioneer moves an _amend- ment, striking out the words Cass Lake ‘aud substituting therefor Bemidji; otherwise the bill has ourmost hearty approval and support. TIPS MEASURE TRODUCES THE FIRST ONE IN THE HOUSE. MEASURE INCREASING THE ROY- ALTY ON ORE PRESENTED IN SENATE. St. Paul, Jan. 15.—The first anti-pass M. Bendixen of Morgan. Its provisions are similar to the anti-pass provisions of the federal railroad rate regulation bill Mr. Bendixen’s measure prohibits the giving of free passes to public offi- cials or private individuals in Minneso- ta except to bona fide employes and the immediate members of their fami- lies, regular ordained ministers, physi- clans in the partial employment.of.the company and trained nurses employed at the company’s direction, also to people in charge of live stock. The bill makes both the giving and the acceptance of passes 'a misde- meanor punishable with a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment not more than one year. A Dbill against the giving- of rebates by common carriers was introduced by John G. Lennon of Minneapolls. The bill provides ‘a’ jail sentence without the option of a fine for any one giving a rebate, and makes the acceptance of a rebate a misdemeanor. The bill, as read, makes it unlawful for any common earrior to give any special rate rebate, drawback or other device directly or indirectly to charge, demand, collect or receive a greater or less compensation for any service ren- dered in transportation than the regu- lar established rates. It also makes It unlawful for the company directly or Indirectly to offer or give any shipper In connection with or as a reward for recelving the transportation, any gift, gratuity or free pass. The penalty for giving or offering any of the special favors mentioned is , lmprisonment for one to ten years. Bill for a Dog Tax Law. ! A bill for a dog tax law that will re- duce materially the number of dogs in the state was introduced by H. O: Bjorge of Lake Park. The bill pro- vides a high license fee on dogs, a lib. ieral reward for the killing of un- 1 licensed dogs, and also provides - for the establishment of a Pasteur insti- tute from the funds collected. It provides that every dog threé¢ months old or over must be regis- tered, numbered, described and, li- censed once each year. Each dog li- tense is to expire May - 1'and the 11~ | cense for the coming year must be‘se- lcured before May 1. The license s placed at $2 for a male dog and $3 for 2 female dog. A Dbill for the establishment of a legislative reference bureau in con- | nection with the state library was in- { troduced by L. W. Nolan of Minneap- olis. The bill is practically the same #s the one offered in the senate last week by George H. Sullivan. A bill to increase the amount of sroperty that may be exempt from gen. eral taxation from $100 to $200 was in- troduced by W. I. Nolan of Minneap- olig. The bill simply amends Division 13 of Section 795 of the 1905 revised statutes by substituting the words two hundred for one hundred, making It read that the personal property of | LOTS ON EASY PAYMENTS For the man or woman of moderate means we are offering lots in the third - addition on easy monthly payments.

Bjorke of Lake Park introduced A bill' in-the house=-providing.a 5-cent tax on every ton of 2,240 pounds of Iron ore mined and shipped. R.

A bill introduced in the senate by Benafor George "H. Sullivan’of Still- water provides for a more complete 1n- dex of the session laws by the secre- tary of state. The senate came to the assistance of the Ramsey county district court by passing, under suspension of the rules, & bill authorizing the judges to select edditional jurors in case of a deficien. oy. The law passed simply puts the matter. where it was before.the code went into- effect, the code having in advertently repealed the old law under which Ramsey county was working, placing the county in the position of ‘| naving to operate under a law provided for counties having only a small popu- lation and few terms of court a year. BARS CONTRIBUTIONS MEASURE IN- SENATE PROHIBITS POLITICAL DONATIONS BY. CORPORATIONS. BILL IN-HOUSE PROVIDES PEN- SIONS FOR ALL VETERANS OF INDIAN WAR. St. Paul, Jan. 17.—Two' bills to pro- hibit donations to political party com- mittees or candidates by corporations were introduced in the senate. Seng- tor J.'T. McGow-n of Minneapolis is the author of both bills, one of which confers certain powers upon the pub- lic examiner for the purpose of dis- covering whether “such™ contributions have been made. ‘The Arst bill, after prohibiting do- nations by corporations in political campaigns, provides that the corpora- tions -shall certify to the public ex- aminer on Feb. 1, 1908, and each suc- ceeding year, that no money or other valuable consideration has been paid or used during the preceding year in violation of the provision of the act. Failure on the part of the corporations to make such reports to them conveys the right to bring an action in any court in the state until the report is filed. The other bill authorizes the public examiner whenever he may deem it advisable, or on complaint of any cit- izen offering to pay one-half of the expenses of the examination, to ex- amine the accounts of any domestic or foreign corporation or joint stock company ‘doing business in the state, bearing. upon the receipts and dis- bursements, and if in his opinion any of the disbursements are unlawful or detrimental to the interests of the peo- ple of this state he shall report such fact to the governor. A-bill providing for local option in counties containing mno cities of over 10,000 inhabitants was introduced by Senator L. O. Thorpe of Willmar. It provides for elections to be held on the second Tuesday in March, when this question may be submitted to the voters of such counties. A Dbill requiring the annual appor- tionment “of the - ‘surplus among the policyholders by all mutual companies doing a life insurance business in this state was introduced by Senator F. R. Putnam of Blue Earth. The bill cov- ers all companies on a mutual plan in ‘which the policyholders are entitled to share In the profits and surplus. Senator John Moonan of Waseca in- troduced a bill authorizing the forma- tion of companies for the purpose of: mutual protection of the members against loss of live stock by death from disease, lightning, tornadoes, ac- cidents and all other casualty or acei- dental cause on the mutual plan. A bill giving a married woman full right to enter into contracts and to convey real estate.the same as if she was unmarried . was introduced . by Senator G. P. Wilson of Minneapolis. She shall be bound by her contracts -and ‘be responsible-for her torts and her property shall be liable for her debts and ‘torts as if unmarried. Senator Wilson also. introduced a bill for the: repeal: of Section 3335, of the Revised Laws of 1905, which re- late to joint conveyances by the hus- band and wife and requiring the hus- band 'to’ join his wife in conveying any Teal estate owned by the wife.
