GRAND RAPIDS TTT | | | | Westlake Proceedings at the Minzesota State Capitol for the Past Week. Minnesota Legislature ~~ St. Paul, April 12—The creation of | shipment over two roads to the point: a general public utilities commission is a dead issue before the legislature at this session. The only public utili- \ties bill which had any chance of pas- ‘sage, the one presented by the com- ‘mittee on general legislation, was de- feated yesterday in the house by the decisive vote of 78 to 30. Helps Minette Bill. This is believed to mean the pas- sage of the Minette bill, putting tel- ‘ephone companies under the authority of the railroad and warehouse commis- sion, which has been made a special order in the senate for next Tuesday. The state will hereafter carry its own insurance, at least on all fireproof buildings. The legislature has given the board of control authority to use its discretion with regard to insur- ance. The board has suggested that this be done so that the state may as- sume its own risk, at least on build- ings of modern construction. The bill 'to affect this purpose, adopted by the senate some time ago, has now passed the house. Given Anti-Cigarette Authority. The house has adopted Mr. Sulll- van’s bill which gives to the dairy and food department authority to en- force the provisions of the present state anti-cigarette law. It is believed that the house may later pass the bill which authorizes the sale of cigarettes to adults and pro- vides for licensing of dealers in cigar- ettes, the fee to be paid being $10 an- nually. To Pay Veterans’ Expenses. The senate also passed the Dunn bill making an appropriation to pay the expenses of veterans who wish to attend the semi-centennial celebra- tion of the battle of Gettysburg next July. The bill provides for the at- tendance of the governor and his staff. The game laws have been so amend- ed in the senate that a hunter may take two deer instead of one, as at present. One buck and one doe may be shot. Weodman Bill Carries. The Woodman insurgents won the fight they have waged against the na- tional organization since the beginning of the session when the senate yes- terday passed the bill permitting their secession and the formation of a state Woodman organization. Under the provisions of the bill se- cession can take place any time affer two years. In case a new organiza- tion is formed, the rates first levied must be the same as in 1912, but after 90 days they must be increased 50 per cent. Practically all of the important meas- ures passed so far by the present legislature were recommended in the inaugural message of Governor Eber- hart. St. Paul, April 11—The house con- sidered as a speciai order the so- called “efficieney” bill as amended by the committee of public accounts and expenditures which provides for the appointment of a joint committee of three from the senate and four from the house to investigate the various departments of the state government and recommend a system of reorgan- ization with a view to a reduction of expenses. Appointment Differences. Difference arose as to who should appoint this commission, the minor- ity wishing to vest the authority in the governor, the chief justice and the attorney general. The bill pass- ed however, as introduced, except that the appropriation it contained of $30,000 was reduced on motion of Rep- resentative R. C. Dunn to $15,000. The house defeated Dr. Stone’s bill abolishing the advisory commission of the state sanitorium for consump- tives, providing for state tuberculosis commission and making a large ap-| propriation for its use. 45 votes for the measure. Senate Recall Bill Passes. The house has passed the senate recall bill after amending it so as to permit of the circulation of petitions and placing a maximum of 20 per cent as the number of signers neces- sary to bring about a recall election. A bill by Representative Reed ap- Propriating $7,500 for a statute to Henry M. Rice in the National Stat- wary hall at Washington, D. C., was passed unanimously. Saloon Reduction Is Favored. The house temperance committee reported out for passage yesterday aft- ernoon, a committee bill designed to bring about a gradual reduction of saloons on a basis of one to every 500 of population. The maximum be comes operative in 1915, Pass Joint Rate Measure. The Cashman joint rate bill has passed both house and senate. It pro- vides that a shipper may route his There were em eee of destination where the distance is) less over two roads than over a single} road or where the first road does not reach the point of destination. In such cases the railroad and warehouse commission is authorized to order a joint rate lower than the sum of the two loeal rates. Money for Investigation. The senate voted $800 to cover the cost of the investigation of the con ditions surrounding brewery owned saloons. This committee reported aj bill abolishing brewery ownership which is now under consideration im the senate and another providing for the licensing of places where liquors are sold in unbroken packages or by: the gallon. All of the sterilization bills intro- duced in the senate and the one that passed the house, were killed in the senate committee on penal institutions and crimes yesterday. All of the bills will be reported out for indefinite post- ponement. The Modern Woodman emancipation bill, giving to a certain percentage of the camps the privilege of seceding and forming a new organization, was passed by the senate yesterday after- noon by a vote of 40 to 17. St. Paul, April 10.—The senate yes terday passed the congressional ap- portionment bill whose provisions have been previously reported, with an amendment taking Steele and Wase- ca counties out of the First district and putting them into the Third, and taking Goodhue ‘county out of the Third district and putting it into the First. Ready for Signature. The senate has also passed the Nok an public utilities bill with amend- ments. It was repassed by the house and has gone to the governor for his signature. The bili as distinguished from oth er public utilities measures, gives to all cities and villages in this state the right to supervise public service cor porations and to regulate rates. Other pubiic utilities bills seek to vest this authority in a state commission. Two so-called “efficiency” bills me before the house for considera- fon. They are rival measures. One, which has the support of the Rines- Burnquist organization, was reported favorably upon by the committee on public accounts and expenditures. It seeks to vest in a commission ap- pointed by the speaker and the lieu- tenant governor, authority to investi- gate all the state departments with a view to their reorganization, in such a way that effort will be co-ordinated and duplication of expense. avoided. Full Investigation Authorized. The committee is authorized to make a full investigation of the de partments during the legislative re- cess; report all irregularities to the governor and attorney general and also all matters requiring civil or crim- inal prosecution. The bill carries an appropriation of $30,000. The rival bill by Mr. Sawyer con tains similar provisions with regard to investigatipn and the formulation of a plan of reorganization. It pro- vides, however, for the appointment of a commission to do this by the gover- nor, the chief justice and the attorney general. One Bill Favored. The former was favored by the house and was made a special order. The Sawyer bill was only advanced to general orders which means that it is unlikely to be reached until after the other measure is disposed of. The only bill of importance passed by “he house at the morning’s session yes.erday, was Senator Sullivan’s bill permitting a voter to cast his vote at the general election for presidential electors, state officers and constitu- tional amendments by depositing his ballot tn a precinct other than that of his residence. Sensation in Senate. Quite a sensation followed the dis covery in the senate that Senator Works’ desk had been broken into during the night. It transpired that nothing was disturbed. The senator is inclined to attribute the curiosity as to the contents of his desk to persons who did not want rev- elations contained in testimony taken before the grain investigation, made public. Anticipating an attempt to tamper with exhibits introduced ia evidence, he had taken the precaution to remove them from his desk and de posited them elsewhere. They are now in the vaults of the state treas urer. Direction of Insinuation. This insinuation is directed against the Equity Co-operative exchange, The officers of the exchange believe the whole thing to be a job put up by the senator's friends to make it ap- pear that they had something they wished to conceal. BOOST FOR COHASSET FORMER SAFE BLOWER WRITES REFORM BILL Matt Daly, Apostle to the Lumber- jacks, Would Drive Saloons Out of the Woods. Matt Daly, once a burglar and safe blower, now a_ traveling preacher whose field is the lumber camps of the north country, is the author of a bill before the legisla- ture which is said to stand a fair chance of becoming law. It aims to do away with the saloon in the woods. It is known as the road- house bill, and takes away from county commissioners the right to grant liquor licenses. It is being bitterly fought by the liquor in- terests. Speaking about the proposed law, and the necessity which he claims exists for it, Mr. Daly says: “The biggest influence for evil with which I have to contend in my work in the woods is the sa- loons in out of the way places. They run all hours and all days. They are practically beyond the pale of police supervision, and are hotbeds of crime.” The legislature will adjourn next Wednesday, and it is said a hearty effort will be put forth by friends and enemies of the measure to make the majority of the legisla- tors see it their way before the end of this week. PROPER TRAINING IS VIRTUE’S SAFEGUARD So Says Truth Society:Writer, Dis- cussing Girl Wages and Slavery Question. The white slavery and woman’s wage question, which has been giv- en emphasis by the investigation conducted by Lieut. Gov. O’Hara of Illinois, and a senate commission, and which it is proposed to dupli- cate in Minnesota, has occasioned comment throughout the country. Various opinions have been ad- vanced as to causes of white slav- ery and what should be done to supply the remedy. One of the parties entering into the argu- ment is a writer for the Catholic Truth society. He takes a middle! ground, and while attaching blame te low wages, declares that the properly trained girl is proof against even a pinch of poverty. Here is his view of it: “There is a great deal of hysteria’ in the present ferment about white slavery, low-wage slavery, and min- imum wage for girls and wom- en. There is reason for the fer- ment, of course, and in the end common sense will dictate a way out. One truth that I wish to emphasize strongly in the present agitation is the falsity of the doc- trine of economic determinism; in other words the materialistic conception of the issues involved. This shameful doctrine means in plain words that money or _ its equivalent is the moving power of all human life and conduct; that money and that which it can buy, is the only thing worth while in this world; that in comparison with! its honor, virtue and character are neglible quantities in the souls of men and women. It would almost appear that this is the dominant note running through the proceed- ings of various investigations now demanding public attention;a weak- kneed sentiment is displayed that a girl must necessarily lose her virta because she is poorly paid. It is a deplorable factor in the ruin of many girls. But everyone knows that the girl animated by Christ- ian teaching will lead a pure life, under whatever adverse conditions, and that she would rather die tham sell her virtue for a living. With the elimination of all maudlin sen— timent, there is hope that the present agitation will result im true reform of womankind.” ROAD DRAGS NEEDED ON LOCAL HIGHWAYS \Early Use Would Put Them ia Good Condition— Will Soon be Too Hard. If drags are to be used to place the highways of Itasca county and those in the vicinity of Grand Ra- pids, in shape, now is the time te juse them. Such is the sentiment expressed by liverymen and auto- mobile owners. A, L. Wellien, auto liveryman, says: “The most effective work on the road can be done now. The county will make a mistake if this work is allowed to wait until the roads have dried. If we are te have goods roads the best time te use the chain drags is during the spring thaws, when the dirt is im shape to work. “Good roads make the county and good roads we will have if the commissioners take action to have the roads dragged. “Tt. is important that the work be done at this time of the year. the dirt is soft and can easily be worked. If it is allowed to wait until warmer weather, it will meam that the work will be twice as tedious and there will be a possi- bility of it not being done at all. The top layer of dirt can now be moved and shaped so as to be of real benefit to the vehicle owners. A delay only means that the work will be so much harder to do whem started.” “ Hot After Brewery Saloon The village of Hibbing is deter- mined to do away with the brewery | saloon. At the last/ meeting of the council action was taken with thag end in view. The recorder was instructed te write all the brewing companies doing business in Hibbing, and noti- :fy them that in the future, licenses will not be issued for any building | owned or leased by them in that village. " xa Blind pigging was also discus: and the brewery agents notified te file a list of all persons at the mining locations to whom they have been selling beer. It was broadly hinted that if such lists are not forthcoming the village law makers will take steps fo make the brewers wish they had complied.. The attempt of the city of Vir- !ginia to annex 1,280 acres of valu- jable mining land lying just east of the corporate limits of the city, despite the objections of interested mining companies which protest against being taxed for municipal purposes and the unwillingness of ,the St. Louis county board to call a special election under the present conflicting laws governing the sub- ject, has progressed one step. Construction work upon the large exhibit buildings at hte San Deigo,. Cal., Exposition, has begun. Bass BROOK HoTEL Cohasset, Minnesota A MODERN HOTEL in EVERY RESPECT John Nelson Proprieter
