HITS THE PORK BILL"
Action Begun by Senator Cooke to
Knock Out the "Pork Bar
-. rel" Bill.

With view Of testing the constf-
tutionality of the $500, 600 road and
bridge bill passed by the last leg'~la
ture, action has been started by Sen
ator L. o. Cooke of Wabasha counay
to restrain State Auditor Iverson from
warrants under the provisions of the
measure. w. B. Douglas, former at
torney general and former state SUI
preme justice, has been engaged tc
conduct the case through the courts.
Th action will be filed in the Ram
sey county district court at once
The 1909 pork barrel bill prepared
by the gods roads committees of the
house and senate appropriated $500, 900
out of the state revenue fund and scat
tered 1T over the state for the purpose
Of building bridges and improving
roads. An analysis of the bill showed
that the measure appropriated state
money for the Improvement of city and
village streets, and the building Of
bridges within corporate limits The
pork barrel' is a biennial affair and
although it appropriates money to be
spent entirely within state supervision
1t has been defended on the ground
into the state treasury
The constitutionality of the pork
barrel" will be tested on two grounds
In the first place it will be urged that
1t is in violation of section 5, article
2 of the constitution and in the second
place that 1t is contrary to the con-
stitutional amendment Of 1898, known
as the good roads amendment"
The 100000, If spent, will come
from the state revenue fund, which is
obtained party from railroads and
other corporations and party by direct
tax
Senator Cooke. who has characterize
ed the pork barrel" as grab has
instructed General Douglas to fight the
case to a finish and the supreme court
will undoubtedly be called upon to
decide the constitutionality of the bill
The new feature of t;.o 1909 bill was
the fact that 1t appropriated $500, 900
more than ever before and that in
stead of being confined to the better
ment of country roads, it's provisions
authorized special grants for highway
improvements inside rity and village
limits. In 1907 when the first emni-
bus road and bridge appropriation bill
was passed, there were provisions for
road and bridge improvements inside
city and village limits. but such pro-
visions were not on the wholesale
scale of the 1909 bill.
The state highway commission has
nothing to do with the Expenditure nj
the money appropriated in the bill
There is no check on the person;
named in the measure to supervise the
expenditure of the state funds and a
many cases members of the legislature
are themselves named ar the dispen-
lsers of the funds. In fifteen counties
the money is turned over to the county
commissioners

Markets easier.

Chicago, May Wheat--The for
eigfl markets, as well as our own, were
easier, due to rains Conditions are
unchanged, however. and they will soon
be on the upturn again. Speculative
sentiment will be bearish from time to
time and reactions viii occur but the
scarcity of wheat will be felt and
prices go higher The growing crop
will be smaller than last year the world
over and, there is no use fooling our
