intendent of public instructions TO fur

any common school district of the state
petition the board of trustees to submit
to the legal voters thereof the question

pills attending the school or schools un-
der its charge, it is made the duty of

giving ten days notice, which no.
tice shall state that the question
OF free text books shall be submitted

be submitted at any annual meeting,

tees to provide for the same, providing
all special and Independent districts

ing the provi sions of the same. In 10
event shall written request of more
than l,000 qualified voters be requested.
All books purchased in accordance
with the provisions of this act are to be

Hon. Horace Greeley-Dear Sir: First
Do the United States own mines rich enough

and controlled under sort of semi-military

Fourth Would such discharged laborers

New York, Aug Il, 1868.
Sir: There are many rich mines in the
United States but none that can be worked
to profit by state labor. The workman must
have an interest in his work.
You and |, and all of US, can pay the debt,

Senator Tawney's Precautionary
Bill to Protect the State.


Bill to Protect the State.
The bill introduced by Senator
Tawney is designed to protect the state
against a cholera epidemic upon the re-
turn of warm weather. 1t is an act, in
other words, to protect the people
against the Importation of acute or con-
tagious diseases by the regulation of
interstate emigration and immigration.
1t provides that the state board of health
may establish system of quarantine
against the various railroads entering
the state and against navigation cOmpa-
MES bringing emigrdntS and Immigrants
to the states. 1t provides for rigid in-
spection by the state board of health OF
all trains and steamboats, bringing pass
engers across the borders Of the state to
ascertain the presence, if any, of conta-
giOus diseases, etc. Powers are con-
ferred to act even upon suspicion. and
transportation companies are required
to afford every facility for
sanitary inspection and to submit to
fumlgation and disinfection at the op-
ton of the board of health. The gov
ernor is given authority to proclaim by
proclamation when any railroad COM
pany or common carrier is not exercising
sufficient diligence, and then all costs of
Quarantining and fumigating, etc, must
be borne by the company. A penalty
of s., 900 is fixed for breaking the quar-
antine without consent of the board of
health.

of erecting an elevator at Duluth for the
relief of the farmer. He proceeded to
explain that the farmers of the state
sought to escape the rule of a gigantic

voiced his sentiments in favor of the

to leave the matter in such form that

proposition AM adopt or reject it. In
his estimation this would be the prefer

LEGAL PHASES.

The Function of the Lawyers in
the Senate.
The senate committee on judiciary is
still laboring with the TWO taxation
bills. At Yesterdays session it was
voted to make the bill relating to min
eral lands, ETC., the special order for 8
o'clock Tuesday. and the much mooted
bill taxing railway properties the spe-
cial order for an hour later. The con-
sensus of opinion favors abbreYiating
the arguments in the future.
The bill relating to societies taking
charge of abandoned children under the
age of two years was recommended to
pass as amended by Senator Leavitt.
The amendment fOrbidS the contract
with the people adopting the children
from specifying any particular sectarian
or political education. Senator TaW-
ney's bill to relieve property from
double taxation was also recommended
to pass.
Single FAX Argument
The Judiciary committee now took up
Senator Phillips single tax bill. 1t is a
measure providing for constitutional
amendment to permit cities and c0un-
ties to decide by majority vote whether
OF not personal property shall be taxed.
The bill embodies the well-known eco
nomic theories of the famous Henry
George, and G. j. Buell., of Hamline, ad-
dressed the committee at length upon
the subject. He explained that the pur-
pose is to provide local option as to
whether personal property shall be taxed
for local purposes. State taxes are to be
collected i'll the same manner as at pres
ent, but the object is to relieve all
products of man from the burden. Mr.
Buell. presented multitudinous petitions
for the passage of the measure. and
he represented that the leading
merchants and business men favor
the scheme. 1t will relieve all indus
tries and all products. and the taxes
must be paid by land owners. Each
parcel of land is to be taxed alike,
whether it has mammoth building on
it or hovel. or nothing at all, and the
speaker argued that one effect would be
to stop speculating in real estate. Own
ers of unimproved or idle property will
either be forced to improve or to sell to
those who will improve. So. he schemes,
great cities will be solidly built up. He
acknowledged that Hennepin county
property now assessed at nearly S57,
100000 in buildings and personal prop
erty would be exempt from taxation.
