AN AMBITIOUS BODY

The state board of control does not
failing of it's privileges. Some have
wondered that the undoubted power
which it possesses as a part of the
political machine was not exerted
more severely upon a subservient leg
islature to prevent the exception from
its sway of the state university and
the normal schools. In our opinion the
board Of control knew what it was do
ing. 1t has some other purposes in
mind, promising developments of
good deal more Importance to 1T than
a petty power of persecution over the
educational institutions of the state.
1t knows very we'll that to appear to
give up something is an excellent pre-
liminary to grabbing something differ
ent and bigger. This seems to be the
size of the present move.
The surrender of supervisory au-
thority over the university and the
normal schools will merely cut off the
board of controls power to annoy,
without depriving 1t of any real privi-
leges On the other hand, the board
might well concentrate public atten-
ton upon this invasion of its domain,
In order to distract it from the enor-
nous advances making In another di-
rection. 1t has plan to turn the
Saltwater penitentiary into a big man
ufacturing concern. This plan is not
original. 1t was even worked out
years ago in Minnesota in another
shape, to the great discredit of the
state and to the heavy loss of many of
form Of history has a habit of repeat
ing itself
1t is proposed to nave the board of
control investigate the feasibility of
establishing at Saltwater a plant for
the manufacture of agricultural i'm
plemerts. The hook has been baited
for the rural legislator with an appeal
at once to his prejudice and his self
interest by declaring that these imnIe-
ments are now purchased mostly from
the trusts, and that for the state to
engage in this industry is good public
policy and In line with the establish
ment OF the twine plant Behind the
general proposition is distinct
proposition to authorize the board
not only to investigate but to adopt:
not only to formulate plans, but to
carry them into execution.
This is expressed in terms, and it is
also involved in the proposed repeal
OF the law limiting the occupation of
conVicts to 10 per cent of the number
OF persons engaged in the same in
dustry throughout the state. If ia
clear that the board expects to tie nm
the state of Minnesota within the next
two years SO that the succeeding Iee-
islature will be virtually compelled to
make a heavy appropriation. because
real or alleged profits from the twine
plant have been already put into this
scheme. We shall then be embarked
In a business that will cost the state
more money in the long run than it did
TO build the new capitol, and make n
nice fortune for somebody.
The same sort of influence is seen in
the cold shoulder turned to bills that
would enforce publicity in the pro-
ceedings of the board of control Tho
letting of the contract for labor a year
ago involved distinct public scandal.

What the Editors Say

Why should the state of Minnesota
expend $4,000 annually for the protec-
ton of fish and game for the benefit of
the favored few and a horde of polit-
lcai game wardens and only $4,000
Tor the care and protection of millions
OF dollars worth of land timber that
belongs to the people of the entire
state?-Princeten Union
This is a pertinent question and one
that should cause our lawmakers to
halt and consider. We believe in a
liberal protection of game and fish,
but the amount thus expended. as COM
pared with the sum set aside for the
protection of the state pine lands is
certainly very much out of proportion.

The so-called Perley bill to remove
the university and state normal schools
from the direct supervision of the
board OF. control was passed by the
senate Tuesday by the Unexpectedly
large majority of As to s. The board
OF control under this new law will
nave charge of the construction of new
Dulldlngs and the purchase of fuel, but
In other matters the board of regents
and the normal boards will have
charge of the educational institutions
There is no doubt but the change is
wise. Better feeling will be promoted
and less friction ensue.-WiIlmar Ga

the legislators to extend the life of
that body for two years longer. 1t
was small politics that induced the
members of the legislative body to vote
Tor this extension of life of the capitol
commission. and doubtless the legis-
iators who have aided the measure by
their votes will hear from the people
pefore another election day passes

things considered, it is a wise amend

so general, but it is of much the same
kind Those who can afford to buy
them regard the season with an ecstasy

bids fair to be an abiding one after
the first craze has passed. This is ap-
