DEVELOPMENT MEETING CLOSES (Continued from page one) sion for more efficient forestry ser- vice and other beginnings; had in the right direction and though disappoint- ed and delayed in the vital matter of proper representation it is confident- ly believed that the matter will be- come an accomplished fact during the next session of the state legisla ture, a proposition to which this or- ganization stands irrevocably pledged, and “Whereas, With all the efforts thus far put forth to better the conditions of Northern Minnesota, to break down the barriers of prejudice long existing tween the two sections of this state so favored that each section of- fers in itself more advantages to the settler than any other entire state, and to advance the material prosper- ity of the whole state, and with all of the things thus far accomplished, the work of the organization is but started, and while generally fairly satisfied with’ accomplishments to date, we earnestly deplore the failure of the legislature at its 1911 session to pass a just and a suitable reapportionment bill conformable to the Constitution; its failure to enact into law an act abolishing certain commissions and the creation in lieu thereof a department of public do- main to more effectively carry out the functions of such commissions; the repeal of the compulsory improves, ment clauses in the law providing for (the sale of state lands, as such ab act will hinder the settlement of the lands now or hereafter purchsaed; the failure of passage of a law au- thorizing the sale of securities in the permanent trust funds of the state; the failure af passage of a law pro- perfecting an orgamization and pa- pointing a commissioner, and to make such provision for permanent organ- ization as shall seem best. Good Roads. “Resolved, That this association commends to the attention of the peo- ple interested in good roads, )its members) Chapter 254 of the general laws of 1911, sometimes known as the Elwell bill as providing the means for a complete and coherent system of rural state highways, thé cost to be fairly apportioned be- tween the state and county treasury and the property immediately bene- fited, with such provisions that coun- ties by voluntary action may unite in developing through highways most convenient for the district to be served. “We recommend further, That to obtain the most complete benefit of this law, a permanent committee be appointed by the executive committee of this body, to work out, in co-oper- ation with the county boards , and the state highway commission, a sys- tem of roads connecting the several localities with their principal markets and to initiate the proper proceed- ings for the execution of this scheme. “Resolved further, That thie associ- ation commends to the voters the pending constitutional amendment au- thorizing a state road tax not to ex- ceed 1 mill. Education. “We ungqualifiedly indorse the for- ward steps taken by our legislature relating to our schools. We strong- selves of the recent act granting lib- eral state aid to consolidated schools. Such schools afford the country children educational advantages sec- ond to none, of well graded schools, of instruction in agriculture and viding for a deep waterway between Lake of the Woods and Lake Super- ior. Reapportionment. “Resolved, That in the judgment of this association a great injustice has been done Northern Minnesota with its rapidly growing population, through the failure of the last legis- lature to pass a fair apportionment bill, which would have given to each part of the state the representation to which it is honestly entitled. There can be no justification for giving to a citizen in one part of the state a weight and an influence in matters of legislation double that of a citizen, equally intelligent and equally honest, in another part of the state simply because of a differ- a wrong which now exists and, is being perpetuated by the ac- tion, of non-action, of the legislature, Against this discrimination we most vigorously protest, and we pledge our, selves to use all honorable means to have the rights of Northern Minneso- ta properly recognized by the legisla- The repre- sentation throughout the state should be based upon population. further, that this asso- ciation unqualifiedly condemns the ge, by the legislature, of the so-called seven-senator bill and would ture at its next session. “Resolved earnestly urge its rejection by the people Advertisin. “Resolved, That this association ex- its appreciation of the adver- of its resources performed by tate immigration department, the sportation lines, commercial bod- ies and other public and private agem that it invites activity in this direction. “Resolved road cies and further, That the rail- companies be urged to extend their permanent and traveling exhi- bits of the resources of this region and that every community be like- wise urged to co-operate with them by thrusting upon them such abun- dant illustrations of its production that fully adequate representation be made of Minnesota's wealth of opportunity. Publicity. “Resolved, That the Northern Min- mesota Development association ap- point a commission of five men to be known as the immigration commis- sion of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association, whose duty it shall be to establish an informa- tion and advertising bureau with a competent man in charge, with head- quarters at St. Paul, Minn., who shall be known as the immigration commis: sioner of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association. “This commission shall consist of the following persons, to-wit: “W. A. McGonagle of Duluth, St. Louis county, chairman; C, M. Spra- gue of Sauk Centre, Stearns county; John Rundquist of Grasston, Kanne- bec county; A. G. Wedge of Bemidji, Seltrami county; J. P. Foote of Crookston, Polk county; Dan Shaw, Thief River Falls, Pennington coun- ty; P. H. Konsen, Hallock. “This commission shall meet at Be- widji, Minn., Saturday, June 17, 1911, at 8 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of home economics and in providing rural social and recreation centers, thus overcoming the pres- ent greatest disparity between rural and urban opportunities. “The introduction of agriculture and industrial subjects into our graded and high echools, and the op- Portunities afforded at the special state schools of agriculture located at St. Anthony Park, Crookston and are heartily commended. We urge the importance to the farmers of ac- quainting themselves with the work of the experiment stations and urge -he establishment of county demon- stration farms in every county to assist in accomplishing this end. “We believe county crop improve- ment associations should co-operate actively in season and out of season, in promoting agricultural education as a means of developing the great agricultural imterests of the state. Forestry. “We recommend that every assist- ance be given the state forest ser- vice by lumbermea, ra‘Ircad companies and settlers in preventing, forest fires in order to preserve the growing tim- state a safer place to live in. Drainage and Reclamation. “Resolved, That we indorse the act creating a reclamation board for the improvement of state swamp lands, as not only justice to the people of Northern Minnesota, but a good busi- ness investment for the whle state, tion years sooner than otherwise— production that is of more value to | the state than the purchasing price of the land. | “We therefore pledge the support ,of this organization in behalf of this | work as fast as its expenditure prov- the reclamation board in effecting permanent settlement and cultiva- tion of all state lands adapted to agriculture. “It is the belief of the association that every purchaser of state lands should have at his disposal for the easiest and least expensive ‘examin- ation a correct and comprehensive de- scription of the soil and agricultural conditions of all state lands; it is the sense of this association that the state auditor be requested to cause such a survey and report on such lands to be collected to the ex- tent that funds for such purpose are available. “Be it resolved, That the state drainage commission be urged to re- consider its action in rejecting the drainage project for the northeastern portion of Roseau county, and that the said commission be asked to proceed with the drainage of the vast area of good, fertile lands that would be affected, and that it may be reclaimed, settled and developed; and “Resolved further, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the state drainage commission. Acknowledgement. “Resolved, That this association ex- press its acknowledgement of the enterprise and efficiency of its of- ficers and standing committees, and especially to W. R. Mackenzie, the life of the organization, and to the ly urge that communities avail them- | Morris in giving advanced trafwing j ber for use as well as to make the bringing the state land into produc- | es of value and to all matters best | calculated to advance the work of | GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1911. aewspapers, for their hearty and lib- ‘eral co-operation; . and “We further’€xptess our thanks to W.
