OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS : M N. M. D. A. CONVENTION AT BRAINERD On November 15, the first session of the Northern Minne- gota Development association’s thirteenth annual convention will be called to order in the city of Brainerd by its president, {A. P. Silliman, of Hibbing. . 'A specially strong program has been arranged, the details of which were given in Tuesday’s Pioneer. A year ago this as- sociation held-their summer meeting in Bemidji and showed an exhibit of ore, peat and other products of this section of the| the real wealth of Northern Minnesota. The Northern Minnesota Development association had its birth in Bemidji and since that auspicious occasion has done much_for the development of our city and community. Are ‘we Bemidjians really giving it the support to which it is en- titled? Are we not just a trifle self satisfied with our own prog- “ ress and feel that we can sit back and let the other fellow con- f¢ tiue to sponsor our development publicity and progress gen- ¥ erally, while'wé are enjoying the fruits of what the association hag already done for us? The members of this'body are hard workers and so far as personal gain goes they have received little for their labor. Their main reward has been to see things “getting done.” We would not attempt to enumerate'what they have done, but we : have at hand a'part of the report of the association’s secretary ! made some time ago after the Duluth meéting, which gives a very condensed account of some of the things done by it, part of which follows: g “Reapportionment of legislative representation. The| 1-mill (sometimes called Dunn) amendment for good roads. We helped pave the way for better drainage laws, We had the moneys that were invested in low interest foreign bonds brought back to the state for investment at home. Direct appropriations for state land in lieu of taxes'to assist in making local improve-| ments. We obtained monthly sales of state lands. Agricul- tural instruction in high schools was promoted.- The present state forestry system was presented: by:this association and its adoption procured. The revolving fund amendment'to the Con- stitution permitting the improvement of state lands before sale was our idea. We won the earlier. apening. of thousands -of acres of Chippewa lands. We urged state aid for county agents and got it. Much game and fish legislation was advocated was procured. We were:the first’to advocate trurik line highway system legislation in various forms; and-we now have the Bab- cock plan as put through the legislation with the name.of one of our members, Senator McGarry; attached to it, We urged yhe establishment of a department-ef agriculture and we have it. We urged weed laws, and seed: certification laws, and we have them and they will be improved. ..We boosted consolidated schools so hard that it is sometimes gquestioned whether we did not over-reach ourselves in some instances. Numerous others might be hamed.” e > .. Bemidji should be well represented at this meeting, not only to 'assist in continuing the progressive work done by the association, but to demonstrate Bemidji's appreciation of the honors shown heretofore by the association in coming here on previous occasions to hold its convention.
