The Duluth Herald and St. Paul Dispatch discuss in an interesting and lucid manner the sale of state lands, a topic of vital importance to this part of Minnesota. Says the Herald: “Minnesota is in the land of busi- ness. It owns millions of acres which it wishes to sell and get set- tled. It is spending some money— and should spend a good deal more —advertising these lands in the hope of attracting purchasers. “Yet its methods of selling its lands accord so poorly with its de- sire to settle the state that one of the chief demands of Northern Minnesota is tor more liberal and elastic methods of getting state lands into the hands of those who will settle upon them and till them. “Besides this the state pays nothing toward the building of roads and schoolhouses to make its land available for use, but that is another story, Though very important, it is no place here. Says the St, Paul Dispatch: «The Dispatch is in receipt of a letter commenting upon the methods employed by the state for the sale of state land, and as- serting that the parctical effect of the present method is to discour- age rather tharn their settlement and development. “It is urged that while the state is preparing to inaugurate a campaign to catch a portion at least of the westward movement of - population, it pursues a plan which makes them practically inaccessible to the im- migrant and settler from outside the state. ““This plan, in brief; is to offer the lands at auction in specified locali- ties at specified times. This is done by official advertising. The terms are very easy, but the conditions of purchase are complained of as cal- culated to shut out new settlers.” The Herald comments in this way: “The point is that while the state is asking settlers to. come: and buy its lands all through the year, it will permit no sales except at specificd times and places and’ by public auc- tion, These sales are held no oftener than once a year, and on the average baven’t been'-held 'mnearly that often. “‘Suppose that about this time " of the year an intending settler - should be attracted to Minnesota and:wish to buy a piece of “state land..

La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 31.—That the Republican party has failed to keep its platform pledges, that leaders in both the house and senate sneeringly, and deliberately re- pudiated the pledges and passed laws to please their business friends and betrayed the American people, Was the charge made by Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, progressive, when he opened the pre-primary fight in this section of Wisconsin for the re- election of Senator Robert M. La Fol- lette, before between 700 and 800 peo- ple, who braved a. downpour of rain to hear him, and who interrupted him frequently with applause. Senator Cummins advocated a tariff commission with broader power to in- vestigate individual schedules; making its finding public and reporting them to congress, so . congress might take up individually each item and read- just the schedules, so that they would represent the differcnce between the cost of manufacture here and abroad. This, he sald, was-the promise of the platform, the pledge which had been broken, and which must be in the future fulfilled. 5 Buffenbarger’s idea in arranging and executing plans for the event was that he could be sure that his funeral would be conducted strictly as he He purchased a lot in the Grape Grove cemetery three years ago and a week later ordered a coffin from a Jamestown undertaker.
