posed the bill for the reason that TIL

TRUST NOT TO SHARE.
Mr.. Guttersen offered an amendment
which was adopted without objection
| preventing any firm in a trust secur-
ing any of the bounty, whether it was
! organized for the purpose of affecting
the price of pig iron or not.
Mr.. Laybourn admitted that Carne-

so-called examining committee, men

and which had been recently made

a personal financial affair of the gen

an option on lands during the present
month and desired to get more money
for their holdings
FOSS OPPOSED IT.
Mr.. Foss Rep.), of Grant, saw no
benefit to the state at large by the
bill. If smelling furnaces were a good
tnllg, then the Eastern manufacturers
VINO controlled the mines, railroads
and iron works would come in and
erect the plants themselves There was
no need OF the state giving them 81. 600

CRACKED A PARTY LASH.
Mr.. Dwinnell CRep), of Hennepin.
Favored the bill because it would build
up and foster great industry at the
mead OF the lakes. The Republican
party was committed to a policy of
bounties. Congress had been consider

What figure does that cut? We

past, was the reply Of Mr. Roberts.
MT FloWman PoD), Of Otter Tail
SAD the Dill was class legislation pure
ana simple. 1t gave bounty to the
flch, but none to the poor. The farm
ers had been told what great thing
the beet sugar bounty would do fo7
them. When beets were shipped to the
sugar factory there was a dockage of
TWO tons on every twenty.
MI. Grondahl (Rep.), of Goodhue.
wanted further lucid light on the
question before he could support the
Dill. Inc bounty would go exclusively
to the syndicates now in control Of
the mines and railroads in that part Of
the state. AT the last session of the
! legislature, when a bill was introduced
TO reduce the rate on ore from 80 TO 70
cents per ton, so as to allow indepen-
ueht mine owners to get the benefit. the

Il CANNED that 1T is the policy of the
republican party to give bounties. The

any policy Which is not in the best in

port the bill in its present form
HE WELCOMES FACTORIES.
Mr.. Dem1ng Rep.), Of Hennepin.
favored the bill and was not afraid Of
the creating of a large city at the head
or the lake. He did not care if Duluth
became the New York of Minnesota.

Mr.. Sites (Rep), Of Lincoln, claimed
| there was no assurance that the state
| would be benefited. If the manufacture
OF pig iron could not be carried on sue
| cessfully In the immediate vicinity Of
the mines why should a bagatelle Of so
cents ton bring in the new capital
talked about. 1t would benefit the syn
dlcates who could manufacture the pig
iron, ship it out Of the state, and get
| the bounty.
Mr.. Guttersen moved the previous
question, but withdrew it at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Yale, who wanted to hear
more of the members talk
Mr. Winston Oem.), Of Hennepin.
thought If the Republican party was
committed to the policy of bounties he
would like to hear from more of the
Republican members on this subject.
TOOK ISSUE WITH DWTNNELL.
Mr.. Jacobson characterized the
statement Of Mr.. Dwinnell that
the Republican party was COM
mitted to a policy Of bounties
as lie. Every bill that had fought the
iron kings had been opposed by the
