DORSEY BILL, GOOD LAW.
Attorney General Overturns Judgment
of judiciary Committee.

Ol judiciary SOmmlItees
Attorney General Douglas yesterday
turned the laugh on the house judi
ciary committee by declaring in a for
NAL opinion that the Dorsey beet SUI
gar bounty bill is entirely constitu-
tional
The Dorsey bill provides that claim
ants for bOunties earned under the 1895
law may bring action against the state
in the Ramsey county district court
The bill is designed to clear up once
for all the fight for $20,0 which has
dragged through three sessions. The
house judiciary committee, composed
of tWenty-t two lawyers, promptly de-
cided that the Dorsey bill should be
Indefinitely postponed because is was
unconstitutional"
The alleged uncOnstitutionality was
based on the constitutional provision
that the sovereign state cannot be sued
without consent. Dorsey took issue
with the committee, overturned it's
vote, got his bill on general orders
and then got the house to request an
opinion from the attorney general.
The opinion came yesterday. The
attorney general says that the Dorsey
bill is not only not in violation of the
Minnesota or United States constitu-
lions, but that 1t provides the only
legal way of settling a troublesome
dispute. The matter Of the states
consent to suit Attorney General Doug
las settles with the statement that the
legislature, in passing the Dorsey bill,
will give consent to the proposed suit
His opinion was corroborated with sew
eral United States supreme court de-
cisions bearing on almost exactly sim
liar cases.
To T h e G l o b Attorney General
Douglas last night said that passage
of the $4,000 ammonia ton hill now
pending in the house might not again
be held unconstitutional in view of the
decisions of the supreme court in the
cases brought to recover unconstitu-
tional sugar bounties guaranteed by
congress.

oFsTHUN IN A HURRY.
House Committee of the Whole Makes
a Time Record.

The house, in committee of tha
whole, with Representative Ofsthuu
IN the chair, yesterday waded through
a general order of twenty-seven bills
IN record breaking time
only one bill got anything like a
comprehensive discussion, and most
of them failed even to secure expIa-
nations on the part of their respective
authors or sponsors. Ofsthun was in
hurry and put the motions for pas
sage or progress as rapidly as the
clerk read the titles to the measures

half dozen ayes" struggled up. and
Ofsthun shut off demands for expla-

Representative OLaughlin was so in

INSURANCE MEASURES.
Minnesota Has Heretofore Been Rea-
sonabIe in insurance Legislation.
Why Not Let Well Enough Alone?

Among the cheerful insurance meas
ures now before the legislature is one
introduced byk Representative Broad
bent, requiring life companies to APP
ply Az per cent Of the cash value of
all policies on which the premium
payment has been defaulted to- an eX-
tension Of the life of such policies.
This~ssMould esnit in compelling the
life organizations to change their pres
ent form Of policies, as written every
wheresFelse,s~aad issue totally different
ones ip. Minnesota. They ought not to
mind a little thing like that: Some
companies extensions already
upsIlz.<zdefaAlted policies, but they
rather like to do SO upon proved actu-
arial results, and with safety to all
their other policy holders who pay
premiums regularly.
Another pleasant measure is the
senate bill requiring the companies to
furnish elaborate detailed statements
to the insurance commissioner of the
cash value of their real estate, Off
GERS salaries, cash on hand and de-
posted with banks and trust compa-
MES, and any quantity Of miscellane-
Gus information, all of which can now
be had by the commissioner or any
policy holder simply for the asking.
But to be forced to get it into the
shape required by this bill would in
volve heavy extra outlay for clerical
help and be another expense to the
policy holders.
Minnesotas reputation for fair deal
ing with the insurance interests has
heretofore been of the best. The re-
suit is that citizens of this state have
had the fullest advantages of insur-
ance competition, and protection to
their families and property has been
ample and at reasonable rates. The
history of injurious legislation else
where has invariably been that bad in
surance laws hurt only the policy
holders and always make their in
demnity more costly and difficult to
obtain. se,s' - '''' go ~ -i'- f

CONSTITUTION INVOLVED.
Cole Would Prevent Electors Who Pay
No Tax From Voting on Bonds.

Representative Cole would prevent
electors who pay no taxes from vot-
ing school and village bonds on the
communities in which they live.
He yesterday introduced resolutions
calling upon the judiciary committee
to investigate the constitutionality Of
his proposition and, if it is satisfied that
such mont taxpayers may be prohibited
from participating in bond elections to
draw a bill to that end.
The Cole movement is said to be
more particularly designed to protect
villages and school districts in the
Northern counties, where the floating
population is large and where it is
claimed entirely irresponsible and dis
interested persons are persuaded or
permitted to vote on questions touch
ing the pocket books of the commune
ties. which they temporarily favor with
their residence
