: l Investigate'Ve BEMIDJI DID FINELY EN- TERTAINING CONVENTION [Continued from First Page] thousands of well supported churches; superior schools and free educational ad- vantages for your children; you have every advantage of modern conveniences which go to make life pleasing and com- fortable. “The happiest, most contented, most prosperous people on earth are to be found in the North Star state. Minne- sota school land offers honest, thrifty and industrious men unequaled opportunities to secure prosperous homes for themselves and families.” Prof. C. M. Dutton, superin- tendent of the MclIntosh schools, told of the teaching of agriculture in connection with the Mclntosh high school whereby the students would be equipped to combat with the problems confronting the farmers in the vicinity of McIntosh. Danger if go on developing inde” finitely our urban schools; all the money available for ‘assistance of high schools would be placed in the cities and funds for country schools would be short. Can’t stand for establishment of agricultural teach- ing which takes children away from farms to villages. Representative Lawrence H. John- son of Minneapolis was the next speaker. He stated that he had attended a number of like conventions, but never in his life had he seen a con- vention which got down to business and stuck so well to the subjects under discussion as did this one. He was heartily in favor of giving to this section a proper representa- tion at the seat of state government. He had introduced the reappor- tionment bill in the last legislature, which had passed the house, but met its Waterloo in the senate. The main reason the bill had not passed the senate was because some of the legislators in this very section had voted against it. The reason they had voted against the measure was that they had not been instructed right before they left home; and with this organization in working order, reapportionment should be the very first thing considered by representatives and senators from northern Minnesota; and this section should ‘invite all sections of the state to stand on reapportionment.

It will a thorough inspection. legislature organize two or more county agricultural schools and place them beside the Crookston School ot . Agriculture, and see how ‘they would compare. The trouble with schools like the' one at. Crookston, - according to Mr Johnson, was that it cost $15,000 —too much. . Same money would establish fifteen or thirty agricul- tural schools and contribute to many, more times the number of{ scholars. M¢ Johnson " admonished his hearers to get together on all mat- ters and with a solid front the representatives of northern Minne-, sota could go down to St. Paul and demand and get pretty nearly anything reasonable. L. A, Barnes of Duluth spoke of Duluth’s icterest in the meeting and alluded to the splendid dele- gation which that city and the iron range had brought to the con. vention, including the mayor of Duluth and many other important people of that section; and touched on the exceeding unjustness of the representation allowed the 4gth district, in which he resided. Robert J. Wells, of Breckenridge [sp?‘ke in part as follows. In the successive efforts of the past ten years to obtain reapportion- ment there has been too much jockey- ing not only by the democrats but by the republicans. "Many members who should 'have had reapportion- ment as their main issue neglects it for some small private or local measure, This is because they did not have proper instructions from home. Let Northern Minnesota send 'a strong delegation to both the republican and = democratic state conventions and have reapportion- ment put in the’ party platforms and then compel the candidates to stand by -their respective - party pledges. It won’t take long to obtain a redistricting of the state. “Andther matter that needs re- adjustment is thé method of invest- ing the’state funds. They ara now invested in the bonds of Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and other states, drawing in some cases only | three per cent interest. Our counties want to borrow" money for drainage work, good ‘roads and schools, but the staté has no money and probably will not have’ anyfor two or three years, Marshall county wants to borrow pearly $600,000 but piobably will have to pay six per cent interest. “I propose that the investment board sell off enough of its foreign bonds to provide a fund for loans to our own people to develop our own state, “"The one mill tax for roads and bridges should be voted and I don’t believe that there is a county in the state against it. It has been said that it is unconstitutional to tax the state lands for road improvements. It will be legal however for the legislature to appropriate $50,000 or $1000,000 to pe disbursed by the state hgihway commission in open- ing roads through state lands and this method will have the same result as if the system of levymng assessments should be adopted. . “Our state lands are not handled in. a businesslike manner. If a private person held those millions of acres and wanted to dispose of them methods would be entirely different. Skilled men would be sent out to examine every forty and ascertain exactly what was on it. The soils would be analyzed, the lands classi- fied according to the purpose for which they are best adapted. All possible data would be collected and if there were any drawbacks which made the land unsaleable, such as lack of roads, wet places, and so forth, they would be corrected. Then -when a prospective settler appeared, the state would know what -it-was selling: *"The _honest settler should be encouraged in every -way.. When- ever there is a question of doubt between the settler and the state as to whether the land was swamp or dry land, the big state should give 'thie séttler the benefit of the doubt.” Thunderous’ applause from the audience testified to its approval of this sentiment. “In a section of the state where the work of carving out a farmis a Hong job, the timber. should be left on the land so that the settler could have a resource for the. main- | trinance of his family. The present { policy of demanding that all timber S —— | ¢ Cut off clean and offering a man only 160 acres of stumps should be'| changed. “The people of Minnesota don’t know anything . about our -great empire up here in:the north, It would pay the state to run free, excursions up here to show what we have, This convention will accom- plish a great good. You are imbued with the right spirit. and I feel cer- tain that we will work together for the development of this great coun- try.” 4 Hon. P. E. Dowling of Eveleth, ex-representative of the 49th district, was one of the first speakers to com- mend the adoption of the strong resolutions the convention had put forth as their ‘‘slogan.” Mr. Dowl- ing spoke briefly on the injustice of representation in the legislature, the imposition on progressive settlers of being surrounded by state lands which are untaxable; and other mat- ters of vital importance. The - ‘speech had the true northern Minnesota ring, and Mr. Dowling ‘was given a great ovation. At the suggestion of W. R. Mac- kenzie, the daily press of the twin cities, Duluth, Crookston, ‘Brain- erd and Bemidji were thanked for their hearty co-operation in giving publicity to the convention prior to the meeting and tor the ex-| tended accounts of ‘the delibera- tions which were printed in these papers. Mr. Mackenzie especially commended the work of J. E. Huss of the Northern News, pub- lished at Spooner, who had given much space and impetus to the get together movement “along the northerh boundary of the state, - Claude H. MacKenzie of Onima, Mille Lacs county, made a motion to adjourn, but the delegates were loath to depart and the ‘motion: was not acted on for several moments, after which handshaking was in order until the “boosters” filed out of the: hall to their respective hotels and ‘prepared to leave - for their hum_e:. w _ “HEIR TO THE HOORAR” WILL BE HERE TONIGHT Ernest ‘Fisher, Superior as ‘‘The Devil,” and His Company Will Give Play. - The Ernest Fisher company ‘ will present the great play, “The Heir to the Hoorah,” at the City Opera House tonight. The company was- to have played here last Monday night, but cancelled that date and selected tonight, “The Heir to the'Hoorah” is' one of the very best plays on the Ameri- can stage today and the Ernest Fisher company is competent to give the play in a'manner which will meet with the commendation "of évery resident of Bemidji. See the 'Heir to the Hoorah” and you will be pleased with the per- formance. Z Capt. and Mrs. Barry Leaving. Captain and Mrs. J. George Barry will leave Bemidji. Farewells in the Salvation.
