The Bill'as Amended ill Likely Go Through and Give Our Neigh- boring Counties Local Seif Government. The committee on towns and coun- ties, through its chairman, Mr, Feig, was given an awiul drubbing in the house in the committee of the whole, | the other day. The~ measure prepared by the committee’ for the organization of Cass and Beltrami counties was ripped to pieces and4 amended’so that 1t was unrecognizable, and this in’ spite of Ms. Feig’s stout- est protest. Mr. Hartshorn led the wattle against the committee, and was ably seconded by Mr. Jacobson and Speaker Jones, and they unhorsed Mr. Feig and then “hit him when he was down.” Mr. Hartshorn drew the line of battle | by offering an amendment in the nature of a substitute. ‘Ihe com- mittee’s bill provided tor a census of the two counties which must show 509 legal voters and 300 heads of tamilies, with not less than four acres each under cultivation. The county officers and commissioners and the, county seat were to be elected by the! people, and the counties were pro-|} tbited from contracting more than $5,000 in five years, nor $10,000 in ten years, of indevtedness. Mr, Hartshorn’s amendment pro- vides that the governor shall appoint the county commissioners and they the county officers and select , the county seat, and limited its in- debtedness to $25,000, and the tax for any one year to $10,000. On motion of Mr. Jacobson the debt linntation was. cut down to $10,000. The amendment also contained a provision legalizing any indebtedness that had been incurred in th: employ- ment of special council. This was also stricken out. Mr. Hartshorn said that the’ com- mittee’s bill was in the interests of non- resident speculators and was designed | to prevent organization. He charged without equivocation that the bill was drawn in the interests of the pine barons, and that under its provisions organization would be impossible for ten years. He said it was full of chances for litigation. . He rediculed the requirements attempted to be im- posed upon the citizens of these. coun- ties before organization can be had. If’ it was to be provided that voters must be heads of families; the bill ought to go further and fix a required number of souls in each fimily. If it was to be required that they must | have sv much land under culuvation it ought to go further and designate the quality of the soil, or the char- actet of the crop. Mr. Hartshorn called attention to the fact that Aitkin county was organ- ized with 178 population, while Cass county had more than 3000 popula- tion in the census of 1895. ‘Lhe bill offered at least a year’s delay, even if there was no litigation. ‘Lhe pro- vision for the immediate location of the county seat, he insisted, was only for the “purpose of a feud, a further element ot strite and htigauon,, ‘unut the people were uredout and the pine land ring victorious. If the- perma- i nent county seat was to be located there could be no object in the debt limitation, for there would be no rea son why the county should not go ahead and build its county buildings. He insisted that the bill was designed to tie the counties up so that they would find it impossible to organize. Mr. Hartshorn said that he was well acquainted with the people of Cass county and their views on organiza- tion. He had personally located one hundred or more homesteaders. He | 4 knew of one farm of a thousand acres and one adjoining it of five hundred He said there were many farms of forty, eighty and one hundred acres, but there are no roads and no schools, and would not be until they were given the right of self government to which they were entitled. Mr. Jacobson supported Mr. Harts- horn’s position with the amendments indicated, and was equally positive that organization was impossible un- der the bill. It should be called a bill to prevent organization. He urged that the honse go on_ record fairly as opposing or as favoring or- ganization. He charged that the bill was drawn absolutely in the interests of the owners of pine, and if it passed there would be no organization until the last stick of timber was cut off. “These requirements as to the quah- fications of citizens are ridiculous” he insisted. “A man can be president of the United States without having four acres of potatoes, and he can be} a good citizen without having a wife.” He favored the debt limitation to re- quire the people to live within their means, Mr. Feig admitted that there was opposition to organization from the pine land owners, but there was an other element to be dealt with—the county seat speculators. He insisted that the bill of the committee favored neither class. He criticised the mem- bers who in one breath favored local self-government and in the next wanted the governor to appoint officers. He said thatthe oppossition to the committe’s bill emanated from the county seat boomers. He was Not strenuous about the qualification of the elector and was willing to have them stricken out of the bill, but he insisted that the county officers should be elected. He said that under our general law no county seat 1s perma- nent in that it may be yemoved at any time by vote ‘of the people, He pointed out the section legalizing cer- tain indebtedness and it was imme- adiately stricken out. Mr. Hartshorn’s amendment was then adopted. Mr. Feig proposed to amend it by a pro- vision for the election of officers, but was voted down. Speaker Jones made a telling speech in favor of the bill as now amended and it _ was re- commended to pass. The bei ex Howse} GRAND RAPIDS, MINN. Best $11 day Housein the Village.
