Dunn's Views on Public Questions.

We believe that open-minded readers
OF Mr.. Dunn's speech opening the
campaign will be most impressed with
the reason, sanity and moderation of
his views on those delicate pulic uues-
tions avoided in the platform. His
discussion of these recalls the cool,
sagacious and business-like admins
tration of the auditors Office more
than the vote-chasing fever and ex-
travagance of the campaign. II
The important subjects of legislation
continuously before the people are the
laws relating to elections and taxa
ton. Every legislature must expect
to meet and deal with bills on these
subjects in the light of strong public
demand for change. It is proper that
every governor should have a policy
upon them, not to enforce upon the
legislature, but to work out by con-
ference and modification in harmony

with it. On both these subjects Mr..
Dunn speaks with an intelligent un-
derstanding of difficulties and clear
perception of practical ends that
promises efficient cooperation with
the legislature.
He seems to realize the necessity of
amending the primary law so as to
remove its defects and extend the
benefit of it's excellent features to all
the offices of the State. We get some
glimpse of his meaning when he dwells
on the danger of minority rule and the
necessity of maintaining political
party organization. We should be
glad to see in this suggestion of ex-
tension of the safeguards of the pri-
mary law over the choice of delegates
to State conventions, and the restor-
alton of the convention under the same
safeguards for congressional districts,
counties and large cities.
Mr.. Dunn's discussion of taxation
is equally reasonable and intelligent
Although he believes that much can be
done to correct inequalities by better
administration of the present laws, as
he proved himself in dealing with the
iron range mines, he is rather hope
less Of much betterment of the laws
themselves under the present constitu-
tion. We believe that the best advised
legislators will agree with him and
that attention will be concentrated on
the framing OF a simple and effective
constitutional amendment that will
command enough public interest and
confidence to be adopted. Hoping
that the four per cent gross earnings
amendment will be adopted, he ex-
presses the firm belief that this would
be the best method of collecting taxes
from public service corporations.
Other subjects are discussed in the
same spirit, such as the removal of
educational institutions from the board
OF control and the rescue of the good
roads fund from wasteful and ineffec-
tive dissipation: but we prefer to con-
centarte public attention on these
two important subjects. Minneapolis
