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.

The 2-cent fare bill, at this writing, appears to jbe sure of passage. Senator Gunn has prepared a bill providing for a new normal I 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 amerd- ment, striking out the words Cass Lake and substituting therefor Bemidji; otherwise the bill has our most hearty approval and support. MTI-PASS MEASURE C. M. DENDIXEN OF MORGAN IN- 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 [ bill in the house was introduced by C. 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 Minneapolis. The bill provides a jail sentence without the option of a fine for any one giving 1 rebate, and makes the acceptance of a rebate a misdemeanor. The bill, as read, makes it unlawful for any common earricr to give any special rate rebate, drawback or other device directly or indirectly to charge, demand, collect or receive a greater or i 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 Lh'l connection with or as a reward for ,receiving the transportation, any gift, imittees: Board of | Eratuity or free pass. 1age, elections, tax ana tax 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 toorgan- 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. cover very much territory, and it is doubtful if the country mer- chants will generally be drawn This does not 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 Dbill 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- eral reward for the killing of un- licensed dogs, and also provides for the establishment of a Pasteur Insti- tute from the funds collected. It provides that every dog three ‘months old or over must be regis- tered, numbered, described and H- censed once each year. Each dog li- {tense is to expire May 1 and the li- | cense for the coming year must be se- lcured before May 1. The license is placed at $2 for a male dog and $3 for a female dog. A blll for the establishment of a legislative reference bureau in con- nection with the state library was fn- iroduced by L. W. Nolan of Minneap- olis. The bill is practically the same ®s the one oftered 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- olis. 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 The lots are nicely I within the reach of H.

A resolution calling for an investiga- tion of the Minneapolis chamber of commerce and the Duluth board of trade was passed by the house. The resolution was introduced by J. A. Gates of Kenvon. A bill creating a commission to di- rect the comstruction of the monu- ment at the Shiloh battlefield for the First Minnesota battery was intro- duced in the house by S. D. Peterson of New Ulm. Would Increase Royalty on Ore. A measure presented in the senate by Senator Victor L. Johnson of Cen- ter City provides for a royalty of 50 cents for ore mined in the state this year, and an annual increase above that amount for each succeeding year. H. 0. 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. H. Jefferson of Bingham Lake introduced R bill in the house providing that a tax of 25 cents a ton be levied for every ton of iron ore mined: The existing law provides for a straight royalty of 25 cents a ton or Iron ore on lands leased from the state. A bill introduced in the senate by Benator George H. Sullivan of Still- water provides for a more complete in- 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, a bill authorizing the judges to select additional jurors in case of a deficien. cy. 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 “| 2aving 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 first 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 onehalf 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 no 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- tlonment of the surplus among the policvholders 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- tlon 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 acel- dental cause on the mutual plan. A blll 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 real estate owned by the wife. INDIAN WAR PENSIONS. May Be Granted to All That Fought Against the Redskins. Pensions for all participants in the defense against the Indian massacre between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15, 1862, are provided in a bill introduced in the house by F. B. Wright of Minne- apolis. The last legislature provided pensions for all who received disabili- tles in those massacres. Under this law elghty-five applications have been allowed. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

Y. By agreement of the attorneys in the case the pleading of the Standard Oil company to the indictments against it. which were recently sustained by Judge Landis at Chicago, has been postponed until Jan. 21. The London Express, in an-article glving comparisons of the wealth of the United -States-and other-coun- tries, says that the wealth of Great $7,000,000 weekly, while that of the United States is growing at the rate, of $10.000.000 dailv. The personal recommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and commerce over a large part of the civilized world.
