Horrible Accident!

The O'NeiU-Marschalk Bill.
D. P. O'Neill, representative of
this district in the house, and Paul
Marschalk, of Warroad, have intro
duced a joint bill which, if passed,
will provide the machinery ^whereby
the state can clear part of the hold
ings of settlers and give the~ settler
time in which to pay for the work.
The bill covers a need which is
vital in Northern Minnesota but
which southern representatives will
probably be unable to see. The en
tire land policy of the state is one to
discourage a prospective settler but
with the state clearin a little land
as aid, settlers will he better satis
fled with their lot and the country
will be rapidly opened up.
The joint bill provides for are
volving fund of $100,000 which is
to be spent under the direction of a
farm development board which will
consist of the governor, state treas
urer and state forester serving with
out compensation. The board can
employ a secretary at a salary not
to exceed $2,500 per year.
A settler wishing .the state to clear
some of his land, and he cannot ap
ply for the clearing of more than
twenty-five per cent nor will he be
considered where he holds more than
160 acres, will apply to the state
board in writing. If the matter is
acted upon favorably, bids for clear
ing will be advertised in a legal pa
per of the county. No clearing is
to cost more than $25 per acre.
The settler must convey his land
to the state and will receive in relets.
turn a contract for deed. The in
terest on the principle must be paid
for five years, and the balance, in
eluding both principle and interest,
is to be divided into fifteen equal
payments with interest at the rate
of 4 1-2 per cent per annum. Any
merchantable timber cut in clearing
the land is to be sold by the board
and.the money credited to the owner
of the land.
The idea back of the bill is a good
one and the machinery provided in
the bill seems first class. It is to
be hoped that the legislature will
take some action at this time toward
providing some means whereby the
state can help the farmer who goes
on a piece which is nothing but
stumps and brush. The O'Neill
Marschalk bill should receive serious
consideration.
The Initiative In Ohio.
From Cleveland, O., comes this
item.
"Mr. A. B. Lea, formerly city di
rector of public service, has complet
ed the task of obtaining 35,000 sig
natures to a petition initiating a
law, which if passed, would make
Ohio newspapers public utilities."
Making the newspapers public
utilities will subject them, of course,
to public regulation. Under Ohio's
new constitution this is entirely
possible. But under Ohio's general
common sense it is extremely im
probable.
Newspapers are far from perfect.
But they have no present fault so
dangerous to the people as the prop
osition to supervise them by govern-,
mental commission. This is a men
ace so threatening that coflgress was
forbidden by the constitution
though some of the states were not
so enjoinedfrom "abridging the
freedom of speech or of the press."
Irresponsible as one of the newspap
ers of Cleveland seems to be, the
worst it can do is less harmful than
a control of all the newspapers of
Cleveland by a bureau.
Interesting light is thrown upon
government toy initiative through
the lense of this incident. It cost
Mr/Lea $2,000 to get his 35,000
^s.^WS^ia^iS&iyiifii-fe^wtf:
signatures, he says. Having paid
the $2,000 he can now sit down and
wait upon the legislature.
That body must either adopt his
proposition, enact it in changed
form, or reject it. Only by doing
the first can it stop further pro
ceedings if Mr. Lea chooses to spend
another $2,000. Because if the law
is substantially altered or if reject
ed or not acted upon within four
months, the same three per cent of
the voters can carry it before the
people at the next general election.
All this in behalf of a law which
no thoughtful student of govern
ment in the legislature can possibly
approve.Minneapolis Tribune.
Life in Discarded Tree.
An unusual sight may be witnessed
in a garden at Tiptree, Essex, Eng
land. A dan on is growing from the
Bide of a post in the garden. Two
fears ago a damson tree was taken up,
and after being laid aside for some
time was converted into posts. One
of these this year produced a shoot
which blossomed and formed into
fruit.
At Least Knew His Value.
A native, named Appu, of Kotahana,
Ceylon, recently attacked his father
md mother with a mallet while they
Nere asleep, and nearly killed them.
The excuse he subsequently gave
was that he was disgusted with his
'miserable parents for having such a
ow-down son."

money will now be divided among
three sons and two daughters. During
the quarter of a century the original
deposit has more than doubled in
value, counting the compounded inter

will. He never told his family of the
money and in paying deposits he spell
