BILL OF THE FORESTRY ASSOCIA-
TI0N RECEIVED FAVORABLY
BY THE HOUSE.
ONE OR TWO AMENDMENTS
WHICH WILL DELAY 1T, BUT NOT
LOSE ITS CALENDAR POSI-
TION.
TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION.
House Hesitates About a Proposed
Amendment-Many Counties Due
to Be Disappointed.

Two measures which came up for
consideration by the house yesterday
were Of more than passing importance,
and although action upon them was
deferred an opportunity was given the
members to discuss them at some
length. Onc was a bill sent in some
time ago by Judge Hicks, on behalf Of
the State Forestry association, relat-
ing to forests and the granting of land
by the state for the purpose of foster
ing the forestry interests of Minnesota.
There appeared to be no objection to
the final passage of the BILL until Mr.
Donnelly rose and pointed out that he
objected to the plan Of the bill, which
provided for the deciding Of land to
the state forever, and at the same time
reserved to the donor the right in per-
petuity tC take therefrom minerals,
coal and oil. Judge Hicks allowed that
there might advantageously be certain
notifications inserted, and the bill was
therefore referred again to him, but
will retain it's position on the calendar
The second bill was Mr.. Dunn's, and
is entitled a bill for an act to amend
the constitution. In a nutshell, it pro-
vides no constitutional amendment
| shall be made unless by a majority
Of all the persons voting at any gen
eral election. At present, as is well
understood, it only requires a major
ity Of the persons voting on the amend
ment, thus allowing a small number OF
votes to tack on an amendment to
the constitution, if only comparative
ly small number of voters vote on the
| matter.
Mr.. Dunn's bill came in fer consid-
cradle opposition. First, the members
from the country poured forth hot shot
! after it and alleged THAT if the bill be-
came law they never would be able
to adopt any amendments in ten years,
owing to the fact that the voters could
not IN that time be made clearly to I'M
! dersand the meaning of the change.
The members from the cities were in
| clined to take the same view, with
the result that the subject was passed
| over and will be further discussed by
| a larger representation Of the house
than was present yesterday.

Some debate was stirred up over s. F. 129,
the Potter bill governing the loaning of school
funds, and S. f. 324 governing the invest
ment of the same fund, and u number of
amendments were adopted aimed at throwing
every possible safeguard around the fund.
The bills provide for loans to counties. towns
and school districts Of this state or invest
ment in bonds.
The Spencer postage resolution was killed
by the legislative expense committee
Senator Pottgieser's bill to provide for a
second examination of patients committed to
insane hospitals was also argued. The advo-
Gates of the bill thought that the medical

which provides for bounty to be paid

lows produced and manufactured in
this state. and also further provides for
the appointment Of a commission to
consist of a practical flax man, mem
Der Of the state board Of regents, and
the president Of the state agricultural

After examining a number Of samples
of the flax fibre and it's products in

DO AWAY WITH CONVENTIONS.

Among the most important of the
bills introduced at the house session,
was an election measure sent UP by
Judge Hicks, of Hennepin county.
Judge Hicks has spent considerable
time and taken much pains to prepare
a bill which will do away entirely with
conventions by the establishment Of
primary elections and such regulation
Of the nomination of candidates for
public office thereat in conformity with
the laws which now govern general
elections
Although the bill is quite voluninous,
the meat Of it is contained in the first
para graph or two, which defines what
shall constitute a primary election,
which is clothed with full dignity of a
general election, thus obviating the
necessity Of a convention. The ensuing
sections Of the bill state in eXterso the
rights in which legal voters may par
ticipate. the rights and privileges they
may enjoy. and the restrictions by
which they are bound, and the duties
and liabilities TO which they are sub
ject when participating in a primary
election, and are precisely those which
at present cover general elections.
