ArlONG THE LEGISLATORS.

In the legislature yesterday, Senator
Barr introduced a bill to create the
office of state fire marshal.
The present senatorial contest has
developed ideas for certain kinds of
legislation, and DR.. Robillard intro
duced bill into the house providing
that any person giving or promising
any money or position in return for
support for political Office or posi-
tion, elective or appointive, shall be
deemed guilty of crime and punished
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for not less than six months nor more
than five years, and shall be ineligible
to any office in the state, county or
town for ten years after commission of
the offense. Nor shall he receive or
retain any compensation for services
rendered in office, but the amount of
his compensation shall be turned into
the general fund in the state, county
or municipal treasury.
Represented tive Robbins introduced
bill the provisions of which prohibit
any person holding a state appoint
ment or an elective office, from leaving
the duties of his office to solicit votes
for any other person who is a candidate
for election to any office by the legis-
lature of the state.
Representative Johns wants the
state to encourage the manufacture of
iron ore into pig iron and steel within
it's borders, and has introduced two
bills to that effect. The first bill ap-
propriates 100000 for the building of
a smelter under certain conditions.
The second bill provides that all iron
ore mined on lands leased from the
state which is smelted in the state,
shall be exempt from the royalty pro
vided by the act of 1889.
A bill was also introduced in the
house providing for the revision of
the statutes. 1t provides for COM
mission for this purpose, and further
provides that the the total cost of re-
vision and printing shall not exceed
$4,000.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-01-25

The wheat crop of the Argentine
Republic for 1894 is estimated at about
666, 100000 bushels. OF this, at least
two-thirds is for expectation. 1t is
said this wheat can be put upon the
European market at price so low
that the American farmer is not in it
at all. The outlook there is that the
crop of 1895 will be fully as large, if
not larger. This fact does not make
the outlook any brighter for the
American farmer, especially in the
northwest, where wheat figures as one
of the principal crops, if not the main
one. Nor has the outlook for our
farmers been improved by the action
of the Democratic party in it's free
trade step which has destroyed the
vitality of the reciprocity treaties, and
placed a number of nations on re-
taliatory spirit toward US. Under
the Mckinley law we had greatly
broadened our foreign trade, and mil
lions of dollars more of farm products
of various kinds were sent abroad, but
the policy of the free trade Democracy,
which we were told was to gain for us
the markets of the world, has not only
impaired our own, one OF the best in
the world, but has cut off all that we
had gained, and gives us nothing in
return. But like every one else our
farmers must adopt themselves to the
conditions which confront them, and
study the markets which are close at
hand. The fact that the farmers Of
southern Minnesota have been doing
this for some time back, and are now
engaged in it to greater extent than
ever, is the great secret of their pros
perity. But even should the suicidal
policy of Democracy be reversed in the
near future, and Republican reci-
procity re-established, foreign nations
would in all probability hesitate to
again enter into trade relations with a
nation which seems to hold it's Obliga-
tions so lightly as the Cleveland ad-
ministration has given out the i'm
preston abroad of us.

In another column will be found the
full text of bill introduced into the
lower house of the legislature by Rep
resentative Guttersen, which has for
its aim the improvement of our coun-
try roads by authorizing towns
at their town meetings to abol-
ish the road district system and
adopt the township sytem. There
is hardly a question but that
a thorough trial of this scheme
would give better roads, for it
would insure the better working
thereof and greater returns for the
same amount of tax. The bill should
receive the close reading of all.
