@ — FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1915. AMENDMENT AFFECTS 2,000,000 AGRES Senator P. H. McGarry of Walker Ex- plains Amendment No. 1 to N. M. D. A. Delegates. Senator P. H. McGarry of Walker, chairman of the revolving fund com- mittee of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association, explained Amendment No. 1 to the members of the association yesterday afternoon. cording to Senator McGarry, will mean the entering of over 50,000 good, substantial farmers who will immediately become taxpayers on state lands. Senator McGarry’s address in part is as follows: “I will take your time for only a brief period to explain what the Re- volving Fund Amendment No. 1 really means; its cause, its effect and the general demand for such legis- lation. The demand comes from no one class, but from all classes and from no one section of the State but sections of the State, as it means the development and sale of about two million acres of undeveloped state land. E Taxes Increased. We are made conscious by our ever increasing taxes that it is neces- sary something should be done to re- duce taxation in Minnesota if pos- a new nut like flavor. it once. builds sturdy bodies. fast food on the market.

Our many State Institutions, and they are on the. increase, are demanding large appropriations, and while membeérs of the legislature have stood severe newspaper criti- cisms on account of the so-called ex- travagance of the legislature, it is very difficult to find any member who will vote against a needed ap- propriation to maintain our state in- stitutions in a decent and creditable manner to the state. Gives Opportunity. Thus we are face to face with a very important problem and it has been the judgment of many of our experienced ‘legislators that to de- crease our taxes we must increase Therefore, this bill or constjtutional amendment was passed two years ago last winter, but failed of being ratified at the polls by reason of lack of interest, and I can state that is the only reason last session the same measure was passed changed only in a manner which the state may improve certain portions of the State holding and my own idea is we should improve about five acres of land on every good tillable pro- ductive forty, giving the man of meagre means an opportunity to make a home and an independence on a Minnesota farm. To Lowest Bidder. This work of developing the small tracis on each forty should b2, to my mind, let to the lowest bidder the same as our road work is let; for the reason that a man taking a contract for improving 5, 10, 15 or 20 of those five acre tracts would be pre- There is a new richness about the flavor which appeals to every one.

Means Many Farmers. This in brief is a modus operand and I believe will have the effect of producing within five years from the time of the passage of this bill and the development of land before re- ferred to at fifty thousand good sub- stantial farmers on State Land who will immediatly become tax payers to the State. It will encourage and in a manner compel the holders of private lands to likewise improve their land and so it is only fair to anticipate the same results on private lands, thus giving to the state at least one hundred thousand farmer taxpayers. ! $10 Per Acre. It will dispose of two million acres of state land at an average price of $10 per acre, thus turning into the state treasury twenty million dollars. It will aid the many settlers scattered throughout Northern Minnesota by giving them better opportunity to have roads, schools, markets and everything that tends to develop a good farming community. Now, the question may arise in the minds of some why was this project not brought forth long before. There are many reasons. One chiefly, which is, it has taken years of experience and hard labor to prove to the doubting Thomases in this State and elsewhere that North- ern Minnesota soil is the equal of lands which are selling at from $75 to $200 Jper acre. Our Northern counties have placed their different farm products in competition with‘ the products of all other counties of the state at our great state fairs end in many instances have securcd first prizes, thus proving to the satis- faction of all that the expenditures Bemidji, Minn. of money is warranted to a far : greater extent than Amendment No. 1 = - asks or calls for. . at A striking illustration of our pur- chasing power is givea in our re- markable showing of Dollar Gifts. e Our show windows and display cases will speak for them- We enumerate only a few articles. selves.
