might have something to do with the
conceive why it should Many
scheme is lobbied through the legislature
which you know would be absolutely use
less with the initiative and referendum
in force. In these days of public clamor,
and righteous indignation against the
greed of public corporations, the public
arrayed on one side clamoring for their
rights, against them certain corporations
wholly oblivious to individual rights, what
could possibly be better remedy for the
people than their right to pass upon all
laws by ballot?
can mention innumerable laws, and so
can you, Mr.. Potter, that the legis-
lature never would have passed had the
people the right of referendum. Do you
suppose the legislature of 1895 would ever
have given away the right of trial by jury
on the fire insurance policy, a right that
we derived from England where it had ex-
listed since the eleventh century, having
previously existed and originated in
Normandy, having come down to us
through primeval and medieval ages,
having been practiced under by the
greatest jurists that the world has ever
known, and met with their appreciation,
being abrogated only for fire insurance
companies, had the people had the right of
initiative and referendum?
Do you suppose that after these corpora
tions had the right to fix their own rates,
which in some cases in Maine are so high as
to prohibit insurance, that they would
have asked the public to play with loaded
dice when they had loss by fire? They not
only have claimed the right to stack the
cards and deal them, but insist on keeping
count. You would almost think that
these soulless corporations would blush
with shame. Certainly the referendum
would have acted as a safety valve in this
case, as it will act upon all future Iegisla-
ton, for assure you of my entire conf
dence that the seventy-third legislature
cannot fail to pass the referendum resolve.
Very respectfully,
E. :. CLARK.

might be so even under the Clark resolve.
The point is, not that the legislature and
governor know more than the people or
are better than the people, but that they
nave better opportunity for judging and
are in a better position to survey the whole
field than their constituents, scattered
over the whole State, can possibly have
and be. / fail to see what offsetting ar
guments overcome these.
If it be said that the people are the
source of power, and have right to make
their own laws, answer that they make
them now. They have the laws they want
under the constitution as it is, not as
quickly always, perhaps, as some want
them, and yet members of the legislature,
many of whom want to be reelected, are
sufficiently responsive to what is supposed
to be public opinion. If they were less so
sometimes it would be as well for the
State. At any rate, when the people really
make up their minds that they want a new
law, or don't want an old one, they have
their way, and the deliberate Judgment
which ought to govern does govern.
The new plan might get rid of some
evils, and create greater ones. 1 doubt
whether my general view is popular one,
but l can't help that. My opinion is not
worth more than any other mans, but of
couI-, it is my opinion am expressing.
And remind you that am talking about
general legislation. 1t does not follow, it
seems to me, because we apply the refer
endum with general satisfaction to some
forms of special legislation, that we are
bound to extend the principle as proposed.
OF course, may be wrong about all this,
but this is the way it strikes me now
Respectfully yours,
BARRETT POTTER.

Hill May Nine His Own Ore.

While on several occasions during.
tina past three years there have been
published runors of the sale of the
Hill ore lands to the steel corpora.
ton it is now asserted to be the in
tehtion of the Hill interests to mine
it's, own ore, and that the newly
formed subsidiary company of the
Great Northern, capitalized at $780,
100000, is for the purpose of taking e
over these lands and engaging; in
active mining.
Thus far the sole object Of the
Great Northern in connection with
its Mesaba range holdings has been
to retain all haulage privileges from
its properties, and leave the opera.
tion-to others. Should the CORPORA.
ton engage in active mining, how
ever, it would easily prove the larg-
est range competitor of the steel
corporation in point of production,
owning as it does proven ore bod
les Of vast magnitude.
Several of the deposits owned by
the Hill interests are in the Virginia
district, while new ore beds on Great
Northern lands are at present being
proven on the extreme east end of
tie range.

FIGHT FOR IRON LANDS.
Cedar Island Contest Cases Beinq
Heard Before Duluth Land Office.

The first of three fights for lands
in the Cedar Island or Ely lake dis
trict was commenced before the Of
ficials of the u. S. land Office at Du-
luth Monday, and the warmth of
the "scrap' is attested by the array
of legal talent and the number of
witnesses for the respective con-
testants-W. H.. Shea and E. l..
Raab.
This contest is for the purpose OF
determining priority rights to lots
and in section 3, and lots and 16
in section 4, all in SILT. The land
in question is on the north shore of
Ely lake, near the mining village
of Sparta. 1t is sandwiched in be.
tween the two other tracts over
which contests have long been
waged, and the whole territory in
dispute is known to be underlaid
with rich deposit of iron ore. The
Fayal and Genoa mines, open pit
propositions, and among the rich
est producers of the Mesaba range,
are directly north of and abutting
the three contested claims.
In direct testimony Raab testified
that he took up his claim in the
spring of 1892 and that Shea did not
take up the claim until 1895. Raab
testified he staked out his claim ac.
cording to the lines of the Howe
government survey, taken many
years ago, but later, owing to an
alleged mistake, re.surveyed and
new lines were established, pla cling
large strip of land, including the
' Raab claim in SILT instead of 50 IL.
The whole case,. seemingly, :hinges
on these errors of survey.
The testimony of Mr.. Shea and "a
large number of witnesses went to
show that Rabb had abandoned his
claim prior to the residence of Mr.,
Shea on the land. ~:
