A Business Proposition.

A correspondent assures us that the
people do not understand the Importance
Of the constitutional amendments to be
submitted to them this year, and that
unless they can be stirred up much more
than they are now the amendments will
fail.
Three Of the amendments ought to be
adopted, and two are very important, and
failure to adopt one Of these two will be
costly and disgraceful mistake.
The railways Of Minnesota are not
bearing a fair share of the burden Of tax
alton. An increase Of the rate of taxa
a per cent VIII do more to equalize taxes
than dozen boards of equalization.
The gross earnings tax amendment Is
simply a proposition to make the rail-
ways In Minnesota pay $780, 900 more into
the state treasury than they pay at
present.
That amendment alone ought to arouse
the greatest interest in this campaign. A
taxpayer can we'll afford to leave his
business for some hours to vote for such
a plain business proposition. If it were
not an amendment which on Its face
commands the support of all parties it
would to-day be political issue that
would set Minnesota ahre.
If you intend to go to the polls and vote
for this amendment, urge your neighbors
to do the same. Remember always that
it will require majority Of all votes cast
at this election to adopt this amendment,
not merely a majority Of all votes cast
for or against the amendment. At the
best some thousands fewer persons will
vote on the amendment than for governor.
AS these people are In effect voting
against the amendment whatever their
Intentions, it is Of the greatest impor-
lance that every vote possible be brought
out for it.
If the people Of Minnesota permit such
an amendment to be lost through apathy
they are not entitled to good government.

Republicans Must Wake Up.

There are signs Of a lack Of interest
among republicans in the present political
campaign in this state. This apathy
seems to be more pronounced in the cities
than in the country. The Fairbanks meet
ing at the exposition Saturday night
should have been attended by s, 900 or 6, 900
people: instead of 1000. On the other
hand when Governor Van SAINT spoke at
FraZee recently he was called upon to ad-
dress an overflow meeting of thousand
persons. Still there are fears that even
in the country the vote will not be so
large as 1t should be.
1t is strange that no state issue or con-
test can ever arouse the interest that a
national campaign calls out, and that re-
publicans, must always fight in off years
to carry states that go overwhelmingly
republican in presidential years. In Min
nesota off year lack Of interest, and alb
sorption in republican prosperity, are rein
forced in the cause Of apathy by the fact
that the state campaign IS regarded as
such cinch for Governor Van SAINT that
there is no particular object in anyone
straining himself.
1t is considered certain that the man
who beat John Lind will have little trouble
disposing Of Mr.. :Roslng. While that is
true, there are reasons why republicans
should do little work for the party and
vote, without fall.
Governor Van SAINT is entitled to a large
off year majority. He has been a fearless
executive. He has done what no COVER
! nor of Minnesota ever did before to our
| knowledge. He has bearded J. J. Hill
and has taken a course which is likely to
bring him the opposition Of all the merger
influence A small majority for Van
SAINT will be construed as a rebuke for
his railway policy. The: people of Mime

Shorty came swinging down the noun
tain road with a fishing rod in one hand
and a cluster of wild rhododendrons in
the other. He paused for moment as
turn of the road brought a glimpse OF the
valley below, and, with an eye that had
learned to see, he watched appreciatively
the, shifting lights and shadows on the
face Of the opposite hill. 81.
Far beneath him, across the brook, he
could see Buckley'ss farm, the lighter lines
of the cultivated fields blending restfully
with the dark green Of the surrounding
woods. Shorty took off his cap. He al
ways felt like barring his head when he
stood far up on these mountain sides with
the panorama OF field and stream below
him. It was all SO big, SO strong, SO
wonderful, that he was compelled instinc-
lively to- respect it.
His horizon had broadened since his
fight from New York. His capacity for
feeling had increased and the desire for
an intangible something had grown within
him. He felt this desire now as he stood
looking across the valley. =
With a sigh, he turned away and started
down the road.
A path leading straight down the noun
tain through a rocky field caught his eye.

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
The Strike and Property In Land.


To the Editor of The Journal &c..
Great truths are not always obvious,
even though long preached, till forced upon
the public conviction by a great calamity
or the danger Of one.
This is illustrated in the imminence of a
coal famine. So great a philosopher as
Spencer asserted years ago that
-"equity does not permit property in land. y
The assertion of this great natural truth
by obscure individuals was always hailed
as a great heresy, and the unfortunate in
dividual was covered with vituperation,
though it was tolerated as a pardonable
"ecCentricity' in so great a man as Her
bert Spencer. If it is true as someone
has somewhere said that all the efforts of
the great have their inspiration in the
stomach, no less is it fact that the pub
lie conscience and the public conviction is
most, readily reached by the same means.
For all over the land we hear dark hints
from the legal pillars of private property
in land and minerals, that there is moth
ing SO sacred after all in that hoary insti-
tuition, as that the mines may not be taken
by the state or nation when the public is
in danger Of empty coal bins. -
Modern Industrial developments have
made 1T possible under the existing sys-
son OF mere legal ownership to shut off
from a whole nation an absolutely neces-
sary natural product. '-r'--- ~.
And now the dear public, which has SO
long worshiped property in natural re-
sources and SO long remained callous to
the sufferings Of the ill-paid and half
starved miners, suddenly discovers, in the
face of a coal famine, great tenderness
for the poor miner, and darkly hints (what
confessionD that the legal owners OF
the mines have no absolutely indefeasible
title to the mines.
This much at least is. clear. The miners
have a perfect right to give or withhold
their labor For where is there SO perfect
a, title to anything as that Of a man to his
own labor power?
