TO RAISE PRICE
OF STATE LANDS
IMPORTANT BILL INTRODUCED
BY REPRESENTATIVE LUND.
He Would Make the Minimum Price $40
an Acre Where SIS Is the Present
Figure - Drainage and Development
Has Made the Land Worth More
Than Formerly.

Representative John G. Lund of Min
neapolis today introduced a bill
to increase the minimum price for
state lands to $40 an acre. The mini
mum value fixed by the present law is
S. an acre, and large share of the land
sold goes at that figure. The average
price received is little over Sc.
Mr.. Lund says state land that is ripe
for selling ought to bring $40 an acre.
IF it cannot sell at that price, thes
can afford to wait until the land is de-
veloped by drainage or made !. more
valuable by railroads or settlement. He
believes that raise in the valuation
Of state land would be an excellent
thing all around, as it would tone up
the market for other lands.

this year, as is called for by the state

this year, as is called for by the state
constitution.
The bill will make the secretary Of
state the supervisor Of the census, as
was the case under the law Of ten
years ago. He is authorized to secure
such clerical force as he needs imme-
diately upon passage Of the bill, this
force to include clerks, statisticians and
stenographers. Their compensation is
to be fixed by the supervisor.
The enumerators will be appointed
in their respective districts (no district
to include more than two townships
or two wards) by the supervisor, on
recommendation Of three reputable cit
liens in each district. These enumera-
tors are to be furnished their supplies
by May %, to commence taking the
census June l, and to have their re-
turns in to the supervisor by July 10.
The compiling and publication Of the
census must be completed by the fol-
lowing Jan. 1.
The census bill will ask for an ap-
preparation Of 100000 to $4,000. Ten
years ago the census cost $48, 900. With
an increase of 100000 to 100000 in
population since then, it is estimated
the increased cost of taking the cen
sus this year will demand the expendi-
ture- OF the appropriation asked.

~ EOSS1BlLEi.

meet for business until next week, and
before taking up the question the COM
mittee wants a full list Of all com
plants and charges of unfair, excessive
statement was given out today, signed
by Senator A. O. Eberhart, the chair
man, and Representative w. D. Wash
burn, Jr., secretary Of the committee:
To whom it may concern: The legis-
lature has appointed a joint committee
of the senate and house to investigate
transportation and traffic rates in this
state, with the view of ascertaining any
unjust rates, or discrimination in rates,
that may exist, and advising the enact
ment Of such legislation as may be
deemed necessary to correct such evil,
either by granting increased powers to
the railroad and warehouse commission,
or by other legislation.
This committee has now organized and
Is holding it's sessions at the railroad
committee room of the senate, at the
new state capitol. It Is respectfully re-
quested that the people Of this state,
who are interested in this matter, shall
cooperate with the committee In making
this. investigation thoro and effective.
The committee proposes, so far as it is
concerned, to thoroly sift the charges
made that transportation and express
rates are excessive and that various parts
Of the state are unjustly Disseminated
against by these rates. To do this, the
committee must be furnished with the
evidence, or at least with complaints put
In such tangible shape that the commit
tee can intelligently act upon It, The
| committee calls upon the shippers and
others Of this state, who are interested
in seeing this question Of rates and un-
just discrimination fully and fairly pre-
sented to the committee, to formulate
their charges, making them as specific
as possible and sending them to the
chairman of the committee. The com
| mittee will then take the matter uu and
make thoro, careful and complete in
vestigation Of each charge.
