SEEK TO LIMIT
TENURE OF OFFICE
Friends of Primary Election Law
Think They Can Make 1t
More Popular

There is a disposition on the part of
some of the advocates of the primary
election law to lessen the objection to this
measure which obtains in some quarters,
particularly in Hennepin county, to have
the tenure of city and county officers linn
tied
Under the present primary law 1t is pos
slble for the man who is in a county
office TO compel the party to renominate
him, for with the large Office forces he
has political machine of no small pro-
portions, and in the event there is strong
opposition TO him 1t is possible to precipi-
tate enough candidates into the contest
TO split up the field and thus secure the
nomination.
Then the only way the man can be dis
placed is to defeat him at election, and as
Hennepin county is so strongly Repub-
Ilcan II is almost impossible TO do this.
Tor no matter how weak a candidate may
be he is pulled through by the majorities
given by the others.
The Hennepin delegation is to be asked
to support a plan which will be presented
10 II and to labor to have IL engrafted
on the primary law.
This provides that in the case of four
year offices a man shall be ineligible for
a third term. and in Offices where the term
is two years three terms shall suffice
This it is believed, will break up the
dynasties that have been formed In certain
county offices in Minneapolis and will
make II possible to secure better timber
to fill them
OF course the officeholding contingent
Will oppose this, but the friends of the
primary law think the adoption of the plan
VIII be conducive to efficiency In office.

HOLMES HAS PLAN
TO RETIRE BONDS
Fifth Ward Alderman Is Plan.
ming Some Municipal
finanCiering

Aid. Holmes, of the Fifth ward of Min
neapolis, has a new scheme for taxation
which in the end will make it possible for
the city to issue more bonds without Sc
curing curative" acts from the legislature
when the bonds are rejected by the people.
BY a provision of the legislature II is re-
quired that when bonds are issued for
sums in excess of per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the city, less the sum
in the sinking fund, the proposition shall
be submitted to the people and must be
approved by two-thirds of all the persons
voting a. the election.
This is done to prevent the voting of
the bonds by small percentage of the
electors On every occasion. due largely
TO the agitation of some of the newSpa
pers, these bonds have received a large
majority of the votes cast upon the prop
osition, but have failed of adoption be-
cause many voters have refrained from
expressing an opinion upon the matter,
and in this case failure to vote is a vote
against the bonds
Court sues Bonds
But this fact has not deferred the ad-
Vocates Of the bonds and the legislature
has passed a curative" act which has
always been taken to the supreme court
and sustained, so the bonds have been is
sued will-nilly 1t has come to such
pass that some persons are suggesting
that the chief justice of the supreme court
should be the bond issuing authority of
the city of Minneapolis.
Aid. Holmes plan is this. The city has
revolving fund of 1900, 900, which was
created by the issuance of bonds. This
fund Is used for the purpose of making
street improvements. and is in the nature
OF loan to the taxpayer for, if he so
elects. he can pay his special assessments
Tor sewers, paving and water mains in five
annual inStallments with interest
Each year the amount turned into the
treasury is used for further extensions.
1t is provided that when the fund ceases
to become necessary it shall be turned
into the sinking fund and used for the re-
demption of outstanding bonds. This will
reduce the bonded Indebtedness by this
amount and will permit the issuing of
bonds for other purposes.
After Revolving Fund
Aid. Holmes wants to abolish this re-
Voiving fund and to have the money turn
ed into the sinking fund. Instead of loan
Ing this money to persons who would be
embarrassed were they obliged to pay for
their improvements at once, it is proposed
TO issue engineers certificates for the
work done these to be lien on the prop
erty, and Minneapolis would be enabled TO
go into debt for more things which will
be paid for by future genera tions
The legislature Is asked TO authorize the
plan.

When the naval bill was before the

new LIQUOR PLAN
Aid. Clark VIII Amend the
Ordinance Some More

According to the gossip about the city
hail Aid. c. w. Clark, of the Eighth ward
is about to spring another liquor ordinance
on the city. He is the father of one ordi-
nance which provides that when liquor
license is revoked only one-half of the fee
for the unexpired term shall be refunded.
Now he has a more drastic measure
and one which has some features that ii is
not likely the courts will uphold
The new ordinance, say some of the
aldermen who have professed to have seen
1t, provides that saloons shall be closed at
IL O'Clock instead of at midnight, and
while the present law provides they shall
be closed all day on Sunday it is pro-
posed to permit them to be open on Sun
day from a. m. to 10, for the purpose
of permitting some of the ''hang-overs"
an opportunity to remove the dust from
their throats and to allow those who were
so forgetful as to fail to secure their
Sabbath supply on Saturday night an op-
portunity to replenish their stock

license committee of the council, and as
he resides in the Eighth ward, where
there are no licensed saloons, except drug
stores. believes himself competent to act

petites of the people who live in less ia

In the meanwhile the police are anx-
tously working to secure the arrest Of

evidence to add to that already ac-
cumulated against the man whom they

HOUSE TO BE READY
WHEN TIME COMES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26.-The
house enters upon the last week of the
Fifty eighth congress with every indi-
cation of completing the legislative
programme. Speaker Cannon predicts
that unless the temper of the body be-
comes ruff1ed there need be no pro-
tracted night sessions. However, ira
dition foretells the usual all night ses-
sion which ushers in the last day of the
congress. This session, which is broken
up by recesses in which conference
committees prepare their final reports,
is marked by levity and song.
The week will begin with the sun
dry civil bill as the topic of legislation.

Gottschalk cooked many Of his own

THREE BEARS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Great Success of the Colorado Hunting
Trio.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Especial. y
President Roosevelts hunting trip has
been crowned with success far beyond
his expectations or those of the most
sanguine of his guides. Three bears
were killed by the party Monday and
two Tuesday, one by the President and
one by DR.. Lambert. P. B. Stewart,
of Colorado Springs, one OF the Presi-
dents hunting companions, arrived here,
accompanied by Courier Chapman. They
brought the story OF the hunt. The
killing of the three bears was telephoned
to them, and they understood that Presi-
dent Roosevelt brought down two of
them, but details are lacking.
The party is almost snowbound in its
present location, >and no attempt will
be made to cross the divide. Fifteen
feet of snow is on the ground on the
other side, and any effort to reach Red
stone would be futile. The hunters
are satisfied, however, for they have
reached the center of what the guides
say is the best bear country in Colorado.
Bobcats are thick in the country now
being hunted-so plentiful, in fact, that
many are allowed TO escape without a
shot being fired in their direction. Sew
eral fine skins have been taken, however.
The bear killed by the President Tues
day was of the brown variety, not so,
heavy, but furnishing a much finer pelt
than the first animal killed. One OF the
bears killed is said to be grizzly, but
this cannot be verified.
