Millions for Mental Training.

Last year, according to the report
of the United States commissioner of
education, the amount expended in
this country for schools and colleges
was 1915, 100000, or nearly four times
the aggregate provided for the pur-
pose in any other nation. But it is
certain that in technical and CONNER
cial forms of training some of the for
eign countries are decidedly ahead

The Proposed Drainage Law.


The most important measure without
any exception, now before the legisla-
ture is the drainage bill, known as
house file No. $50. It provides for a
state drainage commission consisting
of the governor, state auditor and
secretary of state and for the drainage
of state lands and such private lands
as may be benefited by such drainage,
and appropriates $500, 900 for carrying
on the work.
It is the most comprehensive drain
age law ever submitted to a Minnesota
Legislature and will add millions of
dollars to the value of the states
lands. At the same time it protects
the rights of land owners to the bene-
fits of all waterways within or border
ing their property and forbids the
drainage of any lake ''capable of any
beneficial public use of substantial
character for fishing, boating or pub
lie water supply"
L LIZ dCGlV0 WOIh Is W U0 uuu0I Uu0
supervision of a graduated engineer
with practical experience in drainage.
The machinery for authorizing the
work is much the same as at present
for a judicial ditch, the petition being
filed with a map of the proposed ditch,
by the commission. Viewers then as
sess the benefits and damages.
The benefits are taxed against
private lands to be collected as are
other taxes; they take precedence of
all mortgages or liens, and \ are
charged against the states lands by
being added to the minimum price of
SIS per acre. The original expenditure
therefore, will all be returned to the
state treasury and in addition the
added value of the lands which are at
present largely worthless.
The law also empowers counties to
issue bonds for drainage purposes
and extends the cooperation of the
state board to the several Counties

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Easier to Pay Money TO State Than to
Get u Back.

Representative Hogan has introduced
bill for the relief of Fred H. Green in
the legislature that illustrate. how easy
it is to innocently get into difficulty with
the great state Of Washington, and what
a grip the aforesaid state of Washington
has upon your shekels "nce they are en-
closed in its treasury, right or wrong.
Nearly three years ago, Mr.. Green pur.
chased a piece of timber land in Waka-
KUN county for about 5000. The land
had been advertised Tor public sale the
state had for years been selling lands in
this manner, and Mr.. Green was the
highest bidder. Under those circum.
stances it is natural that he receive a
deed for the lapd purchased.
But, it appears. that about the time of
this sale, or shortly thereafter, the Ell
preme court decided that the land office
had been acting wrong, and will out
authority in all the land sales made.
Tnis caused MI. Green to get busy. He
had been punching up the land office for
his deed to the land and he now wanted
his money back.
Hereupon he was coolly informed that
it was impossible for the land office 10
refund the money, as it had been GOV.
cred into the treasury, and that could
not get deed to the land pu cha ed
owing to the decision OF the supreme
court and there he is.
AS no money can be drawn from the
treasury except on warrant, and no
warrant can be drawn unless the money
is appropriated by act Of legislature, Mr..
Green was compelled to seek relief from
that body.
