SUBSCRIPTION--$5.00 PER ANNUM ———e e PENSIONS FOR " THE TEACHERS TrH:fiunty Delegation Favors Passage of Bill ONE-TENTH MILL TAX LEVY City Council Permitted to Make It for the Fund—New House Measure Would Merge Election Systems. James J. Hill Talks to the Lawmak- ere—Nine O’Clock Lid Proposed for Towns. St. Paul, March 6.—After a pro- longed discussion the teachers’ pen- slon bill, drawn up at the request of the teachers’ federations of the three clties, was recommended to pass by the tri-county delegation. There was an effort to strlke out the clause which permits the city council to levy a one-tenth mill tax for the fund, but it was voted down by a vote of 17 to 11. An amendment was inserted so that the teachers can form their relief associations without dictation by the school board or other body. Before the executive session friends of the teachers in St. Paul and Min- neapolis, appeared before the delega- tion and urged Its passage. Mayor Haines of Minneapolls, Mayor Lawler of St. Paul, T. D. O'Brien of St. Paul, P. M. Roberts of Minneapolis, Presi- dent Elwell of the Minneapolis school board, President C. W. Gordon of the St. Paul school board and Superinten- dent S. L. Heeter of St. Paul spoke for the bill A 9 ¢’clock 1lid is proposed for vil- lages and citles of less than 2,000 in a bill introduced in the house by R. L. Mork of Bricelyn. The same rule 1s applied to saloons licensed by coun- ty boards. Another bill by Representative Carl- son of Cokato provides that whenever & saloonkeeper sells any drink to a minor or other person to whom he is not allowed to sell it, the fact that he sold the liquor shall be prima facie vidence that it was Intoxicating. is Is intended to prevent them from pleading that they sold pop when ar- raigned for selling stuff to minors. Liquor Bills a Feature. Liquor bills were a feature in the honse. The senate bill which limits saloons to one for each 500 inhabi- tants, passed by the senate, was sub- stituted for the similar house bill on general orders. - John Lennon of Minneapolis tried to take his bill prohibiting saloons in villages within a mile of any public park in Minneapolis, from the general orders, and send it back to the com- mittee. The house consented, then thought the matter over and passed the bill under suspension of the rules. ¥. B. Wright sald the intention of the bill was to abolish one of the worst resorts in Hennepin county, the Kee- gan’s lake saloon. A license for brewers, distillers and wholesale dealers in liquor, to go to the state treasury, is proposed in a bill by H. G. Mattson of Roseau. The license fee is from $100 to $1,000, de- pending upon the volume of business. Ole Peterson of Nicollet, the author of the bill which the house killed last week, requiring all road taxes to be pald In money and substituting a town Inspector for the road overseers, introduced two bills designed to ac- complish a small part of what was aimed at in the bill which was killed. One empowers villages to abolish the poll tax and to require all road taxes to be pald in cash instead of labor and the_other authorizes tcwns which have voted to pay all road taxes in cash to appoiut an inspector of roads for the town. Rooseveit’'s Work Approved. Republicans and Democrats in the house joined In passing a resolutlon Instructing the speaker and the presi- dent of the senate to send a telegram to Colonel Roosevelt expressing their approval of his work, and to President Taft congratulating him and the peo- ple on his eleotion. . When the resolution was signed, the senate had already adjourned, so it will have to pass the resolution a day Inte. Before an audience of lawmakers and laymen that filled the house cham- ber in the capitol and packed its gal- lerfes, James J. Hill for two hours pald homage to his chief household gods—agricultural conservation and raliroad transportation. Much of it was the same gospel Mr. Hill has preached for a long time back, but he again pointed the way and gave warn- iIng of the danger, which he said ex- irted today greater and more menac- iIng than it had at any time since the dawn of the present commercial era. An election measure intended to combine the good features of the pres- ent primary and the convention sys- tems was introduced Jn the house by A. K. Ware of Northfleld. Candidates are not to file for nomination at the primaries, but- party conventions will name three for each office, including state ‘offices, to be voted on at the Beptember primary, but a blank is to be left so that the voters can substi- tute any other name if they wish.
