Over Finnigan’s «GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW TRICT OF MINNESOTA: i have filed as a candidate on the K Litcan ticket for re-nomina- tion and re-election to the Senate. You are entitled to know where I | stand on those public matters with which the legislature of this state has to do, and upon which the legislature will be required to act, especially those great public questions affecting the Northern part of this state. Fully appreciating all this, and realizing that I will be un- able to personally meet any considerable number of the voters of this big = district during the campaign I take this opportunity to state my position on such questions: First: I endorse the platform of the Republican party adopted at its state convention held in St. Paul on the 2st day of June, 1910, and pledge my best efforts to carry out all of its provisions. In my judgment, the matter of: reapportionment based up- on the 1910 census, is of paramount importance in Northern Minnesota. The settlement and development of Northern Minnesota has reached that point where a just and equal represemtation in the state legisla- Second: the legislature to the end that the influence and power of this section of the state ‘may have its effect in proper, beneficial legislation. To un- derstand and appreciate what fair, equal representation in the legisla- ture, with its resulting beneficial legislation, means to usit is only nec- essary to call attqntion to the fact that all of the great state funds, in- cluding the great school fund, have been derived and are now being obtained largely from Northern Minnesota; take the matter of drainage, building of roads, and taxation, all depend upon legislation, and that brings me to what I consider the second matter of importance at this time: the question of taxing state lands or in some way providing that the state of Minnesota shall pay in the way of taxes or otherwise, some reasonable part of the actual enhancement im value ofits lands by public improvements derived from taxation. The state owns millions of acres of wild, un-improved lands in Northern Minnesota. Those lands are so lokated or situated that they are constantly and steadily being en- hataced in value by the labor of every homesteader and settler. Every rad of road and every foot of ditch constructed by the counties, the townships and the settlers, every acre of land cleared by every home- steader, fmcreases the value of the state’s lands. It Beems to me that it is not fair or right for the state of Minnesota to be in the land busi- ness, speculating with these public lands, and not pay a reasopable part of the taxes required forthe public improvement and development by whith the lands are so ifhcreased in value. In my judgment, all wild and unimproved lands held by railroads, the state and other speculators, should be taxed at least equally with lands owned by settlers, for the building of roads and ditches, and for such other public improvements as tend to enhaince the value ef the lands. Third: This state, the Unitefi States, and for that matter lthe world has become awakened and is now alive to the necessity of con- servation of natural resources, and I endorse fully the position taken by the Republican party and its platform upon that subject. Fourth: I stad for the strict regulation and control of the liquor traffik, and the strict and rigid enforeement of all provisions relating to the same now on the statute books of this state, and for the strict and rigid ehforcement of such other and future provisions as may be enact- ed, and I pledge myself to a fair, full and free consideration of all leg- islation pertaining to the liquor traffic and, its regulation. Fifth: I have lived in Northern Minnesota for many years. I expect to continue to live here. All my property and ali my imterests are here. All that I have, and all that I expect to have depends upon the pros- perty, progress and development of the state. f If re-elected to the senate, I pledge my best efforts toward carrying ‘out and securing all of the foregofng propositions and also all other matters of public importance to the state, and especially to our part of the state. z Respectfully, Grand Rapids, Mitmesota. .
