O'Neill, representative of this district in the house, and Paul Marschalk, of Warroad, have ‘intro- duced a joint bill which, if passed, will provide the machinery whereby the state can clear part of the hold- ings of settlers and give the settler time in which to pay for the work. The -bill covers a need which is vital in Northern Minnesota but Which southern representatives will probably ‘be unable to see. The en- tire land policy of the state is one to discourage a prospective settler but with the state clearin a little land as ald, settlers will be better satis- fled with their lot and the country will be rapidly opened up. The joint bill provides for a re- volving fund of $100,000 which is to be spent under the direction of a farm development board which will consist of the governor, state treas- urer and state forester serving with- out compensation. The board can employ a secretary at a salary not to exceed $2,600 per year. A settler wishing the state to clear some of his land, and he cannot ap- ply for the clearing of more than twenty-five per cent nor will he be considered where he holds more than 160 acres, will apply to the state board in writing. If the matter is acted upon favorably, bids for clear- ing will be advertised in a legal pa- per of the county. No clearing is to cost more than $25 per acre. The settler must convey his land to the state and will receive in re- turn a contract for deed. The in- terest on the principle must be paid for five years, and the balance," in- cluding both principle and interest, is to be divided into fifteen equal payments with interest at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent per annum. Any merchantable timber cut in clearing the land is to be sold by the board and the money credited to the owner of the land. The idea back of the bill is a good one and the machinery provided in the bill seems first class, It is to be hoped that the legislature will take some action at this time toward providing some means whereby the state can help the farmer who goes on a piece which' is nothing but stumps and brush. The O'Neill- Marschalk bill should receive serious consideration. The Initiative In Ohio. From Cleveland, O., comes this item. “Mr. A. B. Lea, formerly city di- rector of public service, has complet- ed the task of obtaining 35,000 sig- natures to a petition initiating a law, which if passed, would make Ohio newspapers public utilities.” Making the newspapers public utilities will subject them, of course, to public regulation. Under Ohlo_’s new constitution this is entirely possible. But under Ohio’s general common sense it is extremely im- probable. Newspapers are far from perfect. But they have no present fault so dangerous to the people as the prop- osition to supervise them by govern-| mental commission. This is a men- ace so threatening that coNgress was forbidden by the constitution— ‘though some of the states were not so enjoined—from “abridging the freedom of speech’ or of the press.” | Irresponsible as one of the newspap- ers of Cleveland seems to be, the “worst it can do is less harmful than a control of all the newspapers of Cleveland by a bureau. Interesting light is thrown upon government by initiative through the lense of this incident.
