GOOD ROADs THE.sOLUrION..

1t would be a fine thing for the state
to spend 800, 900 to attract to it new
citizens of industry and ambition to
develop its natural resources. But
we cannot help feeling that it would
be a better investment for the state to
spend $1,000 a year teaching the
people who are already here how to
develop the resources of the state to
their own advantage and the public
benefit. Minneapolis Tribune.
The Tribune is right. There is no
sense in expanding large sums OF
money to attract people to this state
when thousands are leaving it annual
ly for other states west of us and the
Canadian northwest. It is sheer non
sense to talk of inducing people to
locate on the wild lands of northern
Minnesota unless a better system of
public highways is devised. People
will not remain in a country where
they cannot get on and off their land
without the aid of balloons or boats.
There has been a lot of senseless
palaver INDUCED in about state de-
velopment. The whole subject can be
summed up in two words passable
highways. If northern Minnesota is
to be settled and developed it
will be accomplished by the construc-
ton of passable highways to connect
with the railroads already built and
those to be built in the future. If the
$4,000 that it is proposed to devote
to advertising the state was judicious-
ly expended in scientific bodybuilding
in Beltrami county, for instance, far
greater permanent good would result
to the state. Minnesota was given i'm
mense quantities of swamp lands for
the purpose of reclamation. Those
swamp lands have been devoted to
other purposes that have benefited the
whole state-to railroads and the edu-
cational and charitable institutions of
the state. The great bulk of the
swamp lands are located in north
ern Minnesota. The least the state can
do is to make restitution to those
sparsely-settled northern counties by
assisting them in getting decent
system of highways. Good highways
necessarily imply good drainage.

Capt. Sealby and his mate of the
White Star liner Republic are brave
men. Both of them refused to leave
the ship until the water was ankle
deep on the bridge and few seconds
before she sank. Contrast their con-
duct with that of the quartermaster of
the Italian liner Florida, the vessel
that crashed into the Republic. The
fellow was temporarily at the wheel
and when the crash came deserted his
post. Blood will tell.

tain bars must pay the regular local
liquor license. Heretofore only a
government license has been re-

liquor is the same whether it is dis

aggeration is for effect on the legis.
lature. It is also true that the loss
from fire and trespass in previous
years has been grossly exaggerated.
The governor cites the loss of the
Mountain Iron property to the state
during Auditor Braden's term as an
argument in favor of the establishment
OF his bureau. Would it have made
any difference if Mr.. Braden had been
simply land commissioner and some
one else state auditor? Did the fact
that he was auditor as we'll as land
commissioner influence him in relin.
gushing the valuable indemnity selec-
tions in question? Certainly not.
by the way, former State Auditor
Dunn brought this Mountain Iron
matter to the attention of the legisla.
ture of 1897. But after a thorough
investigation it was discovered that
nothing could be accomplished toward
recovering that valuable property for
the state. There was no reason whv
Auditor Braden should have relin-
quished the land in question. But
that is another story.
BY act of the legislature of 1907 all
the states mineral lands have been
Withdrawn from market, and no min
eral leases or contracts can be issued
until there is further legislation. This
was not done at Gov. Johnson's sug-
gestion either. There should be no
action taken by the present legisla-
ture: It would be better for the state
II no mineral leases or contracts we're
issued on it's lands for some time to
come. Fifteen or twenty years hence
ore that is today worth a royalty of
rs or so cents may be worth IS cents
or one dollar per ton. The state
should hold it's ore. It will not lessen
in value. Hence there is another bur-
den removed from the state auditors
has no mineral leases
to bother him.
Barring the Mountain Iron mistake.
or worse, the state of Minnesota has
handled it's lands and their resources
in an admirable manner on the whole,
Other states have received as liberal
grants from congress as Minnesota,
but not one of them can approach our
state in the magnitude of the perma-
nent funds created from the DISPOSE
tion of their lands.
Our constitution provides that state
lands must be sold at public sale, and
our statutes have wisely fixed the min
imum price at SIS per acre. Timber
must also be sold at public sale. The
interests of the state are amply
guarded. The state auditor can de-
vote nine-tenths of his time to the
state land department. The auditing
department is almost automatic.
What is needed to protect the states
interests is d few more honest, COM
petent cruisers. Give the auditor
means to secure them. No high
priced Office men are needed. A new
land department or bureau is as un-
necessary as the fifth wheel to a
wagon. If the legislature wishes to
provide another horde of workers for
the democratic party at the expense of
the taxpayers of the state that is a
horse of another color.

No Valid Reason for New Bureau.


Robert G. Dunn is doing the state
some real service again in fighting the
proposition to establish special
land department. The plan proposed
by Gov. Johnson is to place all the
state lands under the management of
commission of three men to be ap-
pointed by the governor. At present
these lands are in the care of the state
auditor and his attention to them
makes up the greater part of his duties
as Mr.. Dunn points out. The auditor
is elective and directly responsible to
the people. It is no hardship on the
Office to take care of the lands. So
then there appears no valid reason
for giving over the management to an
appointive bureau. Sank Rapids

also prove to be a profitable addition
to botany courses for older students
"A study of this kind will be of great
value to practical forestry, since the
proper treatment of forests depends
partly upon knowledge of these char
acteristics OF trees. For example, the
time of year at which a tree leaves out
and blossoms is one Of the indications
as to whether or not it is frost hardy
in a given region, and the length of
time that a tree is in leaf influences
the growth it is able TO make during
the season. knowledge of the time
when seeds of each species ripen in
various localities is of great value to
those who are collecting seed, since
seed often deteriorates or is eaten by
squirrels and birds if not gathered and
stored as soon as ripe.
Another result of this study VIII be
a more intimate knowledge of climate
as manifested by plant growth, for diff
ferences in climate are shown by plant
life as well as by instruments, and
preliminary idea can thus be gained
as to whether a given region is suited
to a valuable tree which it is desired
TO introduce there. Many such exam
pies could be given, but sufficient has
been said to show that the results OF
these observations will be q real help
