Sub- jects not on the program are expect- ed to be considered. Among these are the holding up of tne last allotment of the federal swamp land grant, action on the appointment of a state efficlency commission, and the pro- gram for future meetings. The federal authorities based their action as to the swamp lands on a letter written by the president and secretary of the association which was taken as representing formal ac- tion of the association. No such ac-) tion had been taken as no meeting had been held. But endorsement, it is understood will be asked at Be- midji, and in the opinion of the News Tribune, it should be given. The movement for the reorganiza- tion of the state’s administrative system had its origin in Duluth. It was discussed and endorsed by the association at the Brainerd meeting, this giving it its first strong support which called it generally to public attention. This subject is apt to be considered, and should be, at Bemidjl, as the caild of the association. There is also a feeling that future meetings should have a carefully prepared and fully correlated pro- gram; that there should be papers, demonstration and exhibits dealing with Northern Minnesota settlement problems, something of immediate value to the settlers now here, and that abundant time should be given to each subject considered at any meeting. These subjects of themselves would make an interesting and worth- while meeting. While the program itself is a long one, and may crowd them out, these are the ones that will attract a large attendance at Bem- 1dj. The association has been of im- mense value to this part of the state. It will continue to be of value and so as far we know there is no difference of feeling among all those who have been its most loyal promoters as to the future. All will agree on any pro- gram decided upon and as Bemidji gave the association birth, it will pe Bemidji that will inject into it new life and more direct activity.—Du- luth Tribune, What Might Be Done. What might be done if men were wise— ‘What glorious deeds, my suffering broth or— Would they unite In love and right And cease their scorn of one another! Oppressfon’s heart might be imbued ‘With kindling drops of loving kindness, And knowledge pour From shore to shore Light on the eves of mental blindness.

OPPOSITION TO REPORT Committee WIill Recommend an In- crease in Amount of Per Capita Col- lected and Some of the Larger State Organizations Will Fight the Plan, fairs of the National American Wom- an Suffrage association form the chief topic of discussion at the forty-fifth annual convention of the association which began here in connection with the sessions of the National College Women’s Suffrage association and the suffrage school to be conducted by the congressional union. The association’s financial affairs will be brought formally to the atten- tion of the convention on Tuesday when a committee will present an amendment to the constitution to pro- vide an ad’itional tax upon the bud gets of the constituent organizations. The members of these organizations already are taxed 10 cents annually for the support of the national body. It is estimated more than 1,000 ac- credited delegates and alternates will attend the sessions. Will Oppose the Report. The first Yeal business session be- gins Tuesday morning with the pres- entation ol the report of the commit- tee that framed the financial amend- ment to the association’s constitution. Already there have been expressed a variety of opinions on the advisability of adopting the amendment, especial- ly among the membership of the lar- ger state organizations and the great independent bodies which only within the last year or two finally became af- filiated with the national association. The independent "bodies contend that -as they are large and collect large sums for the advancement of the suffrage cause their tax for the sup- port of the national body will be out of proportion. On the other hand the national offi- cers contend that the new financial scheme is made necessary if the na- tional body is to push forward the campaign for universal suffrage in this country. They declare that the '10 cents a member tax is not com- mensurate with the dignity of the na- tional body nor the cause that it rep- resents.

Any developments in the Mexican situation seemed to be moving under the surface; there appeared to bé no change in the diplomatic situation and no indication that the American government was deviating from its at- titade of careful watching and pa- tient waiting for the elimination of Huerta. : All officials in immediate charge of the situation were away from the | capital. . Rear Admiral Cradock has been ad- vised by Rear Admiral Fletcher of the extent of the plans adopted by the American commander to safe- guard British as well as American interests at Tampico and at Tux- pam. The action of the British ad- miral in sailing away from Tampico is taken as evidence that he was satisfied with the adequacy of these clans. | Owned Largest Furniture Store.
