IT is extremely predetermined
whether the State can recover the rich
Mountain Iron property. The odds
are twenty to one against the State.
There is too much money involved for
the State to win. However, the State
has nothing to lose by a thorough in
vestigation of the entire matter. The
legislative committee is composed of
honest and sincere mon. When that
committee has completed its investig ga
tion, if it finds the State has good
cause of action. the courts should be
appealed to, able counsel employed in
behalf of the State, and the case fought
to final determination. There are
just two questions to be determined:
First-was the title to the valuable
property ever vested in the State; sec
ond-if the first proposition is an
swered in the affirmative has the State
been Invested of title. There is nc
question in the minds of those who
have examined the records in the case
but what the State virtually owned the
land for four years. The Rockefeller
syndicate seems to own it now.

TWAS WHOLLY POLITICAL. ,

TWAS WHOLLY POLITICAL. %&
The Litchfieldz Independent puts the
Dunn-Day case about as cleverly as it
has appeared anywhere. It says:
S At the 1896 session Of the legislature
of Minnesota the senate voted 38 to l
that Frank A. Day did not vacate his
seat in the senate by acting as lieuten-
ant governor. On Saturday last the
same senate, composed of the same
Identical mem bers, voted 80 to % that
the seat was vacant. Here, is self
qualification enough to last for some
time" That kind of statement
shows up the bald partisanship in the
affair in conspicuous manner. The
facts were just the same in both cases,
with one exception. Day had changed
his politics. The changed judgment
must, therefore, be attributed solely to
political considerations. minneapolis

The following is an extract from
State Expert Printer 'Whitney's ST.
Paul correspondence to his paper, the
Marshall Nevs- MESSENGER:
The State legislature is making the usual
record of assuming that official humanity is
thoroughly dishonest and dishonorable, and at
tempting to investigate everything in sight.
Last week spoke of the resolution to investi-
gate Commissioner Powers labor bureau and
at the same time Donnelly got through reso-
luton to investigate ex-Auditor Braden' S al
legged giving away of S20,0Oo,000 of mineral land
belonging to the State. And now Public Ex-
aminer Kenyon's Office is to be investigated,
and someone wishes to investigate the great
schools for feeble minded at Faribault. When
the investigating efforts will cease no one can
tell, but as to results everyone knows. The de-
partments and institutions will have been
found to be conducted in efficient manner and
the State will not get $40, 900 900 windfall but
some fellows will get, at first, cheap notoriety
as would-be reformers; some other fellows out
in the cold will get Investigating committee
clerkshipS, at IS a day, and the State will
squander large amount Of money for nothing.
Such is legislation that old members and those
of known standing keep clear Of.
. It is. the duty of the legislature, when
it isdeemed necessary, to investigate
any official or any State institution,
and au honest official or a properly
managed institution has nothing to
fear from such Investigations. If there
had been more of these Investigations
in times past it would have been better
for the State. Probably such mem
bers of the Mountain Iron Investigate
ing committee as Messrs. Dare, Jacob
son, Young, Reeves and Staples have
no "known standing but, we believe
they are reasonably honest-just az
honest as Mr.. .Chas. c.. Whitney.

bill makes the legal rate of interest
per cent unless a different rate is con-
tracted for in writing, but any rate by
contract higher than 10 per cent is
prohibited as usurious. If usurious

paid it may recover the excess ofinter-
