THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment IL
contained in Chapter SOS of the Laws
of Minnesota for tn. year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1t Is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution,
to be known Section II, and which
shall read AS follows:
''Section II. The Legislature may
provide for the payment, by the State
of Minnesota, of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind. or either. and
to provide a fund for that purpose In
Guiding the necessary expenses or CIV
ing effect to this act. may impose a
specific tax upon lands, the owners OF
which, at their option, have listed the
same with county auditors for that
purpose, and no payment shall be MADE
of any such damages except from the
fund so provided"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
ment, If adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become a trustee In the
collection and disbursement of fund
for the payment of damaTes to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either.
This fund Is to be created and main
tanned by Il specific tax imposed by the
legislature upon the lands of such per-
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county au-
ditOrs for that purpose. Under 1T there
could be no tax for such purpose im-
posed on the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The legisla-
ture is also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses OF
administration of the law. The adOp-
ton of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the tax
ing machinery of the state be used to
levy and collect the tax necessary to
raise such fund and to provide for the
Il s,HNp nr 1,x hA If
of the State; but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of dam
age by hail or wind will have to be
made from such fund and from no
other. In the settlement of any such
damages the State would assume no
liability beyond the amount of such
fund, and could not further be rem
was offered at the general election of
1908, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read follows:
"Section II. The Legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
of Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hail and Wind, or either, and
to provide fund for that purpose, may
impose a specific tax upon lands, the
owners of which, at their option. have
listed the same with county auditors
for that purpose, and no payment shall
be made Of any such damages except
from the fund so provided"
The main difference between the
amendment now offered, and the one
last quoted, being that the legislature
is now to be authorized, In addition to
providing u fund for the purpose of
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, or either, to further
provide an additional tax upon she
lands of the persons / so listing the
same, to meet the necessary expenses
incurred in the administration of the
law and thus relieve the State there
from. This last provision was not in
cluded In the amendment offered in
1908.

= O i r TIL p ROP O S E D
AMENDMENT.

The fourth proposed Amendment IS
contained in Chapter 500, General Laws
Of Minnesota for the year 1900.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1t Is
sought to repeal Section % of Article
Nv of the Constitution, which section
now reads as fOllOwss
"Section 49, The legislature shall
provide by law for an enumeration of
the inhabitants of this State in the
year one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-five. and every tenth year there
after. At their first session after each
enumeration so made, and also at their
first session after each enumeration
made by the authority of the United
States, the legislature shall have the
power to prescribe the bounds of con-
gressional senatorial and representa-
tive districts, and to apportion anew
the senators and representatives among
the several districts according to the
provisions Of section second Of this
article"
and to substitute therefor the follow
ing:
"Section %. The legislature shall
provide by law for enumeration of the
inhabitants Of this State in the year
1915, and every ten (10) years there
after. At any session after any EMU
meration Of the inhabitants of this
state made pursuant to law and also
at any session after each enumeration
made by the authority of the United
States. the legislature shall have the
power to prescribe the bounds of con-
gressional, senatorial and representa-
tive districts, or any OF the same, and
to apportion anew the senators and
! representatives among the several dis
| tricts according to the provisions Of
section 2 of this article"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
ment will be to direct the Legislature
to provide for a census Of the inhab.
1tants of the State in the year 1915,
and every tenth year thereafter, and
will also authorize the legislature to
change the boundaries Of congregational.
senatorial and representative districts,
or of any one Of such districts, and to
apportfon anew the senator's and rep-
resentatives among the several dis
tricts, at any session after any State or
Federal census. If adopted, the legls-
lature might therefore, If 1t deems
best, change at any session the bound
aries OF such districts and appOrtion
anew the senators and representatives
and thus rsdistrict the State every two
years.

paper printed at the seat of govern
ment, during the first " LEX in jan
uary of each year, and in the next
volume OF the acts Of the legislature,
detailed statements Of all moneys
drawn from the treasury during the
preceding year, for what purposes and
to whom paid, and by what law au-
thorized; and also of all moneys re-
celVed, and by what authority ana

EFFECT. The Constitution requires
the treasurer to publish yearly n de-
tailed statement of the moneys drawn
from the treasury during the preced-
ing year, giving the names of the per-
sons to whom paid and the purposes
for which it was expended. 1t also re-
quires like statement of the names OF
the persons, md the sources, AS to
money received, and in both cases n
statement of the law under which pay
ments were made, or money paid into
the treasury. The effect of this
Amendment, If the same be adopted,
will be to repeal the section of the
Constitution mentioned and insofar re-
lieve the treasurer from such publ1ca-
ton. This change In the Constitution,
however, would not prevent the legisla-
ture from hereafter directing by law
that such, or different publication, OF
the same other information should
be made by the Treasurer.

per cent or less than one half on of one
Cd per cent of the total fund thus
provided and expended during such
year; and provided further, that in no
case shall more than One-third Cs) Of
the cost of constructing or improving
any road or bridge be paid by the state
from such fund.-" and to substitute
therefor the following:
"Secton Is. For the purpose of lend
ing aid in the construction and I'M
provement of public highways and
bridges, there is hereby created fund.
to be known as the state road and
bridge fund said fund shall include
all moneys accruing from the income
derived from investments in the in
ternal improvement land fund, or that
may hereafter accrue to said fund and
shall also include all funds accruing
to any state road and bridge fund,
however provided.
1.-The legislature is authorized to add
to such fund, for the purpose of con-
structing or improving roads and
bridges of this state, by providing, in
its discretion, for an annual tax levy
upon the property of this state of not
to exceed In any year one-fourth (A)
of one mill on all the taxable property
within the state.
PROVIDED, that no county shall re-
ceive in any year more than three (3)
per cent or less than one-half (k) Of
one % per cent Of the total fund thus
provided and expended during such
year; and provided, further, that in no
case shall more than one-half (A) Of
the cost Of constructing or improving
any road or bridge be paid by the state
from such fund"
EFFECT. The present Constitution
authorizes the payment by the State,
out Of such fund so created of ONE
THIRD (1-3) of the cost of constructing
or improving any road or bridge there.
In. If this amendment IL adopted the
State could then pay ONE-HALF (1z) Of
the cost of constructing any such road
or bridge, and the effect Of the amend
ment is thus to increase the amount
which the State may lawfully pay to-
ward such purpose.

SIXTH PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The sixth proposed amendment 10
contained in Chapter 81, Laws of Min
nesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1T II
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution

Death of Mrs Thomas Murphy.

Lake City, May 2:-On April 27,
1910, at about $3.50 o'clock a m, the
angel of death visited the home of
our neighbor, Mr. Thomas Murphy,
and bore therefrom his devoted
companion, Mrs Sarah Murphy. Mrs
Murphy was a daughter of Mr. Hec-
tor and Mrs Elizabeth McNeif, of
Marion county. She was born in
Marion county August II, 1886. At
about Is years of age she professed
faith in Christ and joined Mt Zion
Baptist church, Marion county, and
lived consistent member of that
church until after the death of her
parents, when together with the
rest of the child dren she moved toWil-
liamsburg county and as a member
of Lake City Baptist church, she re-
mained conscientious and faithful
Christian until God called her to a
higher realization of His goodness.
She was married to Mr. Thomas
Murphy on the 9Th day of Novem-
ber, 1870, and from this union were
born three children, two of whom
died in infancy. The other, a daugh-
ter, is still living.
Mrs Murphy was an affectionate
companion, a kind and loving mother
and good neighbor. The writer lived
near her family for over four years
and was we'll acquainted with her,
and to know her was to hold her in
high esteem. She was always the
same good-natured, kind, amiable
Christian woman.
Mrs Murphy said,in answer to the
question, Are you prepared to die?"
"Yes, have attended to that long
ago."
The funeral service was conduct
ed at her home one mile from Lake
City by her pastor, Rev Mr. Boney,
in the presence of large crowd of
relatives and friends, on Thursday,
April %, after which the remains
were taken to the McAllister bury
ing ground and laid away to await
the resurrection.
She leaves to mourn their loss a
husband and one daughter, Mrs W
L Anderson; one sister, MrsVictoria
McCutchen of Darlington; two
grandchildren and other relatives.
May her going away prove a
blessing to them all, and her loving
husband meet his dear wife where
there will be no more parting. =,
