THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment In
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
of Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1t In
proposed to add an entirely new sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitutions
to be known as Section II, and which
shall read as follows:
Section IT. 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 Of CIV
ing effect to this act. may impose a
specific tax upon lands, the owners OF
whic.4, 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
fer the payment of damages to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either.
This fund is to be created and main
tanned by 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 it there
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 lhUrrS n officers
If the State; but any payments to be
nsEde by the State, by reason of dam
age by hail or wind will have to be
rade 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
dered liable. A similar amendment
WAS offered at the general election Of
1908, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows:
Section IT. The Legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
If 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 fund for the purpose OF
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, either, to further
provide an additional tax upon the
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

the planting, cultivation and prOte ctiOn

supplement- where the lands of such
private persons are devoted to refor-
estration, the purposes contemplated as
to public lands by the fifth proposed
amendment. The authority so granted
Is part of general plan for the re for
estratiOn of land within the state. II
the Legislature does not pass such laws,
such lands will not be exempt and the
power to repeal such law, when en-
acted, remains with the legislature.
Power to pass law to exempt such
lands from taxation the legislature
does not now possess, and it is, there.
fore, an additional grant of power.

Dear Sir:-Referring to proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment No. 2 would say:
AS state expert printer have given the
publications involved in this proposed
amendment special thought, and am Of
opinion both these publications are en-
tirely superfluous. The extensive annual
publication lin daily newspaper pub
lished at the capital city, attracts alb
solutely no attention The annual re-
port of the state treasurer is published
in book form, and to an extent that
makes it easy for every person special
ly concerned to secure a copy. To con-
form strictly with the law as il is at
present. means the expenditure, under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
of approximately $4,000, sum which
can be used to excellent advantage un-
der conditions which ordinarily suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part of those under whose direction the
printing fund is expended.

Section %. The legislature shall
provide by law for an enumeration Of
the inhabitants of this State in the
year one thousand eight hundred and
siXty-fVe, and every tenth year there

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

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
at any session after each enumeration

States. the legislature shall have the

gressional, senatorial and representa-
tive districts, or any of the same, and
to apportion anew the senators and
