BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL C1TIE*
THE PINK BALLOT.
Eight propositions to change the
constiution of Minnesota will be
on the "pink ballot" every male vo
ter will receive at the general elec
tion two weeks from today. The
eight proposed amendments were
adopted by the 1915 legislature and
submitted to the popular vote.
The amendments are published on
the back page of this paper.
As a rule only one or two amend
ments carry because of the require
ments that each amendment get a
majority of all the votes cast at the
election, which means that failure to
vote on an amendment is a vote
against it.
The amendments this year will ap
pear in the following order:
1Amendment to the state land
section, authorizing $250,000 of the
permanent school fund to be set aside
as a revolving fund to make im
provements on state land, the cost
of improvements to be added to the
sale price of the land and returned
to the fund when it is paid in.
2Permitting loans from the state
school fund on farm lands up to 30
per cent of the land's value. This
amendment also extends the maxi
mum term for bonds of municipali
ties purchased for the state trust
funds, from 20 to 30 years.
3Authorizing the state to dis
pose of minerals under lake beds
which the state controls in its "sov
ereign capacity," and turning the
proceeds into a permanent good roads
fund.
4Adding two associate justices
to the state supreme court and em
powering the court to appoint its
clerk, now elected by popular vote
5Authorizing the governor to
cut down items of appropriation bills
in the exercise of his veto power.
6Permitting condemnation of
primary property for drainage opera
tions
7The initiative and referendum
amendment, submitted to the voters
for the third time.
8Extending terms of probate
judges from two to four years.
The initiative and referendum pro
position (Number seven) differs
slightly from former ones. If it
should be adopted two per cent of
the voters, by petition, could bring
the measure before the legislature.
If the legislature rejected the bill,
or passed it in amended form, another
petition signed by six per cent of the
voters would bring it up at the next
general election for popular vote. It
would become a law upon getting a
majority vote, provided the affirma
tive vote was one-third of the total
vote cast at the election.
The referendum feature is also
new If a petition signed by six per
cent of the voters is filed, a bill pass
ed by the legislature must be sub
mitted to the voters at the next elec
tion, and if the petition contains 15
per cent of the voters' names, it will
suspend the law until the vote is
taken A majority in the negative,
provided the negative vote is equal
to one-third of the total vote cast,
will kill the bill. But the section
does not allow a referendum on tax
levy or appropriation bills, or on bills
declared to be "emergency meas
ures" by two-thirds vote of the legis
lature
Read the amendments on the back
page of this paper. Study them care
fully Be sure and vote A vote not
cast is a vote against an amendment.
PROTECTION FOR
AMERICAN LABOR
As the campaign progresses the at
tention of the intelligent public is
becoming centered upon the question
of the tariff The desire is every
where manifested for the enactment
of a just and efficient measure that
will protect the American wage
earner from the ravages of the hun
gry, but industrious, slum-bred Eu
ropean who, having laid down the
sword, returns to his factory ready
and willing to work for the merest
pittance
The people do not want a presi
dential ukase that may temporarily
benefit two per cent of them at the
expense of the remaining 98. They
want protection that will include in
its scope every man who makes a liv
ing with his hands.
President Wilson has just an
nounced that the country can look
for no relief from the Democratic
party along tariff lines. He stands
pat on the miserable, apology for a
tariff law that a Democratic congress
has brought forth. 4To stem the
iifeii.W Wphfa,.,. c*UE WK S^J^.foA. A^.g,
1 t\
fierce tide of European competition,
this makeshift la presented. They
might as well attempt to dam the
Mississippi river with a sheet of tis
sue paper.
When the war is over the present
prosperity will vanish like snow be
fore the noonday sun. The treasure
ships that now cross the Atlantic
with the gold of Europe will engage
in another business. Instead of gold
they will be freighted with cargoes
of the impoverished nations who, for
the past two years have been locked
in deadly conflict.
The Underwood law is a perpetual
menace to our national prosperity.
If it is not repealed when peace comes
there will be an enormous inflow of
cheap European goods to this coun
try. Will the revenues increase ac
cordingly? No, when two-thirds of
these goods are admitted free. Will
the cost of living be decreased? It
may be if Americans can find the
money to buy cheap foreign goods.
But where will they get the money?
A workingman out of a job is in no
position to buy any goods, foreign
or domestic. What does he gain by
the shutting down of his factory in
order that he may buy the foreign
goods that have displaced the Amer
ican product? Thousands of Amer
ican factories will be obliged to close
their doors if a Democratic tariff is
in force at the close of the war.
American workingmen can always
be depended upon to keep their fam
ilies in good houses, well clothed,
with the children in school, if work
is steady, at good wages. Busy Am
erican factories mean sharp home
competition, which keeps prices
down. The laws against monopoly and
unfair competition insure a square
deal to the consumer. These laws
were enacted by a Republican con
gress and signed by a Republican
president. The Republican tariff
kept out unfair and destructive for
eign competition, but forced Amer
ican manufacturers to compete among
themselves. Thus work was provided
at good wages, and the cost of living
was kept down.
The failure of the Democratic
party to guard the American market
is an injury to every American,
whether he works for himself or
works for somebody else. The home
business of America amounts to many
times as much as all the exports to
foreign countries, war munitions and
all. Americans sold $5,000,000,000
worth of goods, mostly war supplies,
to the outside world this year, but
they sold $36,000,000,000 worth of
real goods to themselves.
This great home business must be
protected if workingmen are to have
steady employment at good wages.
There is no other issue so important
as that of making a living. The Re
publican party proposes to look after
the welfare of Americans first.

BEMIDJI ELEVEN TO
PLAY COLERAINE
The Bemidji high school eleven
will meet the Coleraine high school
eleven at the new athletic park next
Saturday afternoon. The game will
be called at 3:15 o'clock.
The range team is coming to Be
midji determined to defeat the local
team. The Bemidji team has been
holding daily practice, being coached
by Professor Juvrud and Dr. J. W.
Diedrich, former Minnesota star.
Arrangements will be completed to
make the Coleraine-Bemidji game an
annual affair.
The Bemidji team will be under
heavy expense in bringing the range
town team to this city and every
football fan is urged to attend the
game Saturday.
The Coleraine and Bemidji elevens
will meet this year for the first time
in the history of the schools. Con
siderable enthusiasm is being shown
as the game will, no doubt, be one
of the hardest games of the season.
The local team went through a
hard signal practice last night from
4:30 until dark.
Arlo Achenbach, who has been
putting up a good game at left end,
will be out of the game for the re
mainder of the season, due to an
acute attack of appendicitis. His
place will be filled by "Galloping"
Carl Tennstrom who gives promise
to develop into a wing man of the
first order.
Howard Palmer, wh'o has been
playing guard, has been shifted to
left tackle. Being comparatively fast
for a heavy man Coach Juvrud finds
that this change adds to the effec
tiveness of the shift formation.
Bert Tardie, the new 160-pound re
cruit, will no doubt play his first
game by starting at left guard in next
Saturday's contest.
Tonight will find the local eleven
going through a hard signal drill and
scrimmage in preparation for Satur
day's battle as the Coleraine eleven
is not going to be taken lightly by
the locals.
BLAMES NATIONAL
COMMISSION FOR
BASEBALL TROUBLES
By HAMILTON)
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Oct. 24.The chase af
ter the almighty dollar and the ulti
mate end of this chasethe death
of the goose that lays the golden egg
never had a more forceful bunch
of evidence against its practice than
in the world's series between Boston
and Brooklyn.
Charles H. Ebbets isn't to blame,
nor is Joseph Lannin. The fault is
with the august National commis
sion, the supposed protector of or
ganized baseball.
When the races in the American
and National leagues reached a criti
cal point early in October, the com
mission made its plans for the big
event, instructing all clubs which
had a chance to have tickets printed
and prepare them for sale. They
fixed a scale of prices which skidded
from 50 cents for a bleacher seat in
Boston and $1 in Brooklyn, to $5
for the best box seats.

the shoes that this community needs. We have-

There was aquashing of teeth and
bitter wailing by the fans, but they
saving become baseball faps were de
termined to see the thing through
and they turned out well. There
were vacancies In the Brooklyn park,
but they did a big business in Bos
ton.
Just the same the wail of the fans
is certainly going to be heard. If the
National Commission attempts to
stage another world's series with
such prices in vogue, critics every
where are confidently predicting the
rulers of the game will get the shock
of their dignified lives when they
count the resultant kale.
It was the mad, dashing blood
struggle for money that put the
curse on horse racing and the same
thing almost has done it to boxing.
The National Commission is flirting
with obscurity when it casts every
thing but the commercial side of the
game to the dogs.
The success of football, the great
college game, run exclusively from a
sporting standpoint, is a hint Garry
Hermann, et al., should not over
look. CABXETON BARS
"STUB" ALUSON
Northfield, Minn., Oct. 24.Carle-
ton is deep in gloom.
"Stub" Allison, captain and star
end of the football team, has been
barred by the Carleton athletic auth
orities for playing purt of a game
with the Bilbow-Laurels, St. Paul,
against the Banholzers at Lexington
park a week ago Sunday.
The information came, in a letter
from athletic authorities of Hamline
university.
It was said that Allison wore a
strip of adhesive tape across his face
while playing in the game which cost
him his minor college athletic ex
istence.
Allison will be remembered by Be
midji fans as having played first base
with the Little Falls baseball team
which played two games here last
summer and also played one game
with Bemidji at Mcintosh.
