That was foolish proposition to
ask the elevators to pay the farmers
for wheat screenings. If the farmers
would clean their wheat they might
save this valuable feed for their farms,
but they prefer to let the elevators
have the otfal and make the money off
of it. It was only few years ago
that screenings were considered value
less and they swept them into the har-
bOr at Duluth. Now it is different.
They are fed extensively by sheep
feeders all over the country and are
worth high prices at times. If every
farmer who raises wheat cleaned his
wheat thoroughly there would be lit
tie profit in the screening business for
the elevators.

d
Many incorporated villages in Min
nesota are working under very ancient
charters. Some very progressive vii
lagos have charters which do not per-
NIT them to construct or operate water,
light and power plants, and for that
matter do not permit them to do many
other things which they should be
authorized to do in this age of inten-
sive development. A bill is now be-
fore the legislature to authorize GER
tain villages to build and operate
water, light and power plants. The
bill if enacted into a law would save
many villages the trouble of ADOPTING
new charters, which all know thew
need very badly.
The Princeton union., 1905-03-16

There is a bill before the legisla-
ture calling for a submission to the
people of the State of the proposition
to call constitutional convention for
drafting a new State constitution.
The bill must have the support of two
thirds of both houses to secure it's
passage and if the governor should
sign it in case it should pass, the vot-
ers of the State must vote on the prop
osition. The next legislature would
make provisions for the assembling of
a constitutional convention in case the
proposition carried, which it would,
as any proposition in the way of a
constitutional amendment will carry
as the law now reads. The voters
will just pick up that pink ballot and
let 'er go Gallagher. If ever a State
constitution needed amending it is the
one which Minnesota has. It has been
amended thirty-nine times, and many
attempts have been made to amend the
document but failed. The chapter per-
tanning to taxation has been amended
ten times and yet we are sadly in need
Of more latitude in our constitutional
provisions in this respect. While the
document evidently needs amending,
there is some question, in view of code
experience, whether it would be wise
to assemble constitutional conven-
ton which body would be of the same
size as the legislative body. Corpor-
alton interests in these piping times
of peace hover over legislative bodies
like a lot of vultures over a carcass.
AS a rule they are not satisfied with
the powers conferred on them by the
State but seek to make all things bend
to their desires. Should a constitu-
tional convention assemble in. this
State as conditions now exist it would
be a question whether the people
would secure any better document than
they have at the present time. It may
be better to still continue to amend
our present constitution than attempt
to make new one in the shadow of
grafters and corporation interests. It
may be better to bear the ills we have
than fly to others that we know not of.
