Is it a Fraud?

The Minneapolis Loan and Building Association, that organized branch in Florence and other towns in the territory, is just now the subject of much unfavorable comment by the press of the country. The Escanaba Michigan, Mirror says of it:
 Edward Simmons, who was takt n into custody here last week on the supposition that he was insane, was released Monday morning and left for his home at the head of the bay in company with his brother. Simmons avows that he was not "crazy" but mad" ;" he paid $10 into the Mime apolis Building and Loan Association and was afraid that he would never get it back which, by the way, show ed good sense on his part. There are others in Escanaba who are almost crazy on the same subject, but it Is to be hoped they will use better judg- ment than the man Simmons" In another column the same paper says:
 "The poor men who invested mon ey in the Minneapolis Building and Loan Association year ago are min us what they paid in. We told them so at the time"
 There are several organizations of a similar character in Minneapolis, one of which has cn::operatingin Vallejo California, and has left a very sus picious record. The Chronicle has ventilated, its methods and has an other under investigation.
 The branch organized in Florence received several hundred dollars il cash for membership fees, but ma jority of those who subscribed have withdrawn and forfeited the amounts they had paid. While it was no tested sufficiently to determine whether or not 1t is fraud, the gene ral reports were such as to excite ; suspicion in the minds of stockhold CTS that it was not profitable under taking.
 Local associations embodying tn principles of this institution, afforo far better advantages to their mem bers and give them better protec tion for their investments The prin ciple of home enterprise is likewis engendered and far better results ar bound to follow than in patronizin foreign schemes of which little or nc thing is really known.

A Pertinent Ouestinn.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE = Attention Is called in your last issue of the ENTER PRISE to the fact that the intentions of the government in aid of retaining the arid lands of the west have been greatly misapprehended, and that all the government will do is 10 settle, by thorough scientific methods, the prac- ticability of these gigantic schemes of storage reservoirs, propose the best plans for their construction and prove their rentability to the investor. Of course favorable report by the gov ernment engineers and scientists Is equivalent to moral guarantee of the feasibility and protitableness of the enterprise, in which capital may en- gage, and to that extent the govern ment's assistance is of the greatest importance. But 1t is clearly shown that the undertaking itself belongs legitimately to individual or corporate efforts and not to the government, which could not for the benefit of in dividuals, engage in making enor- nous expenditures. While the writer is not disposed to doubt the force of that argument we may, nevertheless, inquire into the large yearly expended millions by the government for the i'm provement of rivers and harbors, many of which are clearly beneficial to To- cal interests only ,.and not to every cit lzen, who may avail himself of home stead on the public domain, as in this case 1t would be-
 Neither would the government be the loser by this operation, inasmuch as the annual rentage or the enhanc- ed value of public lands would amply reimburse the exchequer for ever so large outlays, which can never be said Of goodly portion of the so-called river and harbor improvements.
 But, accepting the interpretation as given by the Washington dispatch, would not Congress pass a wise, just and liberal measure to allow construc- tors of such gigantic works cer- tain acreage of land proportionate to the expenditure and at the same time restrict them from creating monopo- lies to the detriment of land holdersi It seems to the writer that such g meausure would do justice and act beneficial all around, protect both the investor and the agriculturalist ol grower alike and equalize their respect i've interests Considering the i'm
 mense tracts of land which were giver away lavishly to railroads, sometime, contrary to all justice and good policy which are in a measure lost to the
 public domain, and the equally immense acreage of worthless land
 which is turned into valuable agricul tural fields, and herewith restored tt the same, and accessible to every citi zen; should not such a policy as be fore mentioned be considered as emi nently just, and surpass in its result
 almost any measure passed by Con
 gress affecting public land?
 This is an important question, that deserves to be we'll considered and agi
 tated, and through the proper channe should be laid before Congress at it next session. In our able and inde
 fatigable delegate, aided by Senate
 Stewart and the Pacific coast member,
 we have the most implicit faith tha l they could pass such a measure.
