Highway Commis- sion, State Drainage Board, Bureau of Im- migration, Game and Fish Commission, and State Land Department. _ Second—That there be created a de- partment of state government to be known-as the Internal Improvement and Conservation Commission, conslsunz of three dlvxslons to-wit: Division of forests and mines.

The duties of the several divisions to be apportioned as follows: 1. Division of forests and mines: a Fire patrol. b Care and promotion of existing forests on reserve agricultural lands.

Whereas, it is the opinion of this Asso- ciation that the drainage laws of“the State of Minnesota, relative to the general plan of constructing coynty and judicial ditches should not be changed. In detail, however, the same are not sufficiently flexible to accomplish the best results. Therefore, be it resolved, that amend- ments be adoptrd to perfect the laws in this respect; also That authority be given the State High- way Commission to co-operate with the several counties to the end that the Com- mission may furnish flnancial and other assistance in the construction of roads and bridges along such drainage ditches. STATE MONIES. Whereas several million dollars worth of the bonds of foreign states in the pei- manent investment funds of this state bearing a low rate of interest; and. Whereas for the purpose of financing drainage projects and building roads, bridges and school houses aqd for other public purposes a large portion of that amount is desired to be borrowed by the several municipalities of the state at a v rate of interest higher than that now' re- ceived by the state on the said bonds; and Whereas, with available funds the State Investment Board has not been-been able to supply the demands for money for such improvements; and Whereas it is for the best interest of the state and the several municipalities thereof that the funds of our own state be available for use for such improvements and for developing our own resources. Now therefore, be it resolved, that it is the sense of this association that a suffi- cient amount of the bonds of foreign states now in the state treasury be sold by the State Investment board to supply |- .f.he demand by the several political divisiohs of - the ‘state for money for the said purposes and that in case this is not done a bill be drafted and introduced in the next legislature and its passage urged placing such bonds on the market lor the aforesaid purposes. RESOLUTION REOOMMENDING AP- POINTMENT OF A COMMITTEE TO \ DRAFT A BILL FOR THE TAX- : ING OF STATE LANDS: § Be it resolved, that a committee of five be appointed by’ the president of this association to draft a bill providing for \ ing in heavy increase in acreage yield in the enactment of a law subjecting the unsold state lands' to taxation for local road, bridge and school purposes., Be it further Resolved that the moral and material *| support of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment Association be pledged to aid in securing the enactment of such a law.

RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THE SALE OF STATE LANDS ONCE <t A MONTH. _.Resolved, that we favor the placing of the unsold agricultural lands of the state in the hands of actual settlers and home builders at an early,date and at a_ reason- able price and to -that end we favor a change in the state land laws which will permit' the holding of public sales in each of the large public land counties, at least once a month. Be it resolved, that we recommend to the next legislature the passage of a sys- tem of rural township graded schools wherein as much instruction in the ele- ments of agriculture, home economics and manual traifing may be taught”as it is possible to give, and the granting of liberal appropriations to encourage the development of such a system, and for the accomplishment of this work we rec- ommend ' the creation of a rural state school, board whose duty it shall be to foster and direct the establishment of sucha system. : Be it resolved, that we recommend that the system of secondary agricultural schools consisting of the schools of agri- culture af Crookston, Morris™ and St. Anthony Park be extended and that one such gchool be established by the coming legislature in northeastern Minnesota and such other schools as may be needed. B it resolved, that the movement for the establishment of agricultural depart- ments in urban high schools be restricted to those. high schools so situated that the rural schools surrounding a village or city can secure better results through co-oper- ation with the village or city high school than \through independent organizations. . Be it resolved, that the elements of agriculture be added to the listof subjects required for the certification of all teach- ers of the rural schools. Be it resolved, that we approve of the policy of bringing the results of the ex- periments and research conducted in the | University to the pe_:ople and recommend that liberal appropriations for such ex- tension work be made. Resolved, that the recent forest fires on our northern” boundary, involving the - eedless gacrifice of thirty-one human “ves and over{ $2,000,000 worth ef | cause our state legislature to immediately enact a practical and concise law: for-the creation of an efficient State Forest Ser- .vice, for, the .protection and care of our forests -and we: recommend - that such legislation be along the following lines: “Ist. That the State Forestry Board, or such board as may be created to assume its functions, be given full authority over all forest protective measures for the preservation of timber upon the present state forest reserves, and of the forests in all stages of growth on all lands now owned by -the state, with the power to promulgate regulations for the protection and care of the statd forests, with legal authority to enforce the same. 2nd. That the said board be given authority to employ a trained and experi- enced forester, with such number of deputy foresters and forest rangers as may be deemed necessary to serve under civil service regulations as the board may prescribe, the said board to designate the duties of the forester and his assistants, including the forest rangers, and fix their salaries. 3rd. That the said board be given full authority to exercise the police powers of the state over all lands, timbered and otherwise within the state, so far as may be necessary to prevent forest fires. 4th. : That the sum of $200,000, or so much as may be necessary, be appropri- ated by the legislature, to be expended by the State Forestry Board, for the main- tainarice of the State Forest Service. Realizing the fact that the difficulty of clearing land is the chief obstacle to the settlement of the timbered and cut over . section of Northern Minnesota, and that the use of explosivesis being -recognized as ‘the most effective method of land clearing, therefore be it resolved that the Northern Minnesota Development Associ- ation urge the next state legislature to investigate and promote means of secur- ing cheaper explosives for the use of the farmers and settlers of the timbered sec- tions where such would aid in the de- velopment of agricultural lands. + Whereas, the United States government has conducted corn contests throughout the ‘south during several years past result- the various states, Be itresolved, that the Northern Min- pesota Development Association in con- vention assembled do hereby request the Department of Agriculture to inaugurate such a contest in this and-neighboring northern states for” the purpose of en- mling lhc growing of corn as a crop; That the department continue .lsoll studies on typical areas in Northern Min- nesota at as early a time as .possible. Resolved, that we recommend the ap- pmnnneut | of lady inspectors to be aulgned ‘to duty in the women’s and children's dnpartment of the Labor Bu- reau, for the protection Of young girls and property is an object lesson which should | NEEFOTIVE PAQCFE from the country ' distvicts in search of employment, nnd the legisiature be re- quested to make a suitable appropriation for this department. i Whereas, the mewspapers and their various representatives have, - without fear or favor, advanced the interests of the Northern Minnesota ‘Development Association by way of publication which has been and is a material factor for the success of the efforts of the Northern| Minnesota Development Association and’ the state as a whole, Therefore, be it resolved, that we ex- tend to the press our sincere appreciation of its' efforts in behalf of this organization. Be it resolved, that the Northern Min- nesota - Development Association com- mends the untiting efforts of Secretary W. R. Mackenzie as this association and hereby express an appreciation of his tireless and ceaseless work as such an officer. [ Be it further resolved, thatthe delegates of the convention, each and every one of them, hereby express their appreciation of the courteous, hospitable - treatment accorded them by the citizens and especi- ally the Commercial Club of Brainerd and officers of the Crow Wing County Develop- ment Association. .

As every one knows, the process oi manufacturing the- paper of which Bank of England notes are made is one of the greatest of all trade secrets. It is known only to the governor of the Bank of England and to three oth- er persons intimately connected with the industry, which is carried on at Overton, a quiet little village in Hants. All that the outside world is allowed to know concerning this precious pa- per is that it is made, among other in- gredients, out of charred husks and Rhenish vines. Quite_as profound a secret is the manufacture of both the paper and the ink used for American banknotes. The former has the double-advantage of not being a secret preparation, but one that only “takes™ one particular kind of ink, which is quite unique, the American government paying the man- ufacturer, who alone possesses the se- cret, the sum of $50.000 a year for making it.—Pearson’s Weekly, O T Mean.
