LIE Sueur Sestine1:'"It is one of the most
disgraceful facts in the history of Minnesota
that u very large proportion of the large
number of acres of pine lands within her
limits should have been allowed to be stolen
bodily by small number of speculative
lumbermen and their political friends, so
that the ownership of the pine lands has not
only become monopoly but has caused the
formation of political ring that, with a few
others, dominates the state and shapes its
legislation for personal ends"
