PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amen ndment IL
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
Oh minnesota for tn, year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY tnis amendment 1t Is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ZION to Article TX of the Constitution,
10 De known as Section II, and '.hich
snail read AS follows:
section II. The legislature may
proVlde for the payment, by the state
ol minnesota. Of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind. or either. and
TO provide fund for that purpose. In
:luulhg the necessary expenses OF CIV
ing erect to this act may impose a
epeclHc tax upon lands, the owners OF
WHICH, at their Opt on, have listed the
same with county auditors for that
purpose, and no payment shall be MADE
ol any such damages except from the
1und' so provided"
EFsECT. The effect Of this Amend
neht, II adopted, will be to authorize
'hE state to become trustee in the
coliectIOn and disbursement of n fund
tor the payment of damages to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either.
rms fund is to be created and main
."lneu ny specific tax i-lpOsed by the
ieshAature upon the lands of such per-
SONS, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county au-
Hitors for that purpose. Under it there
co"id Dc no tax for such purpose inn
posed on the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The legisla-
lure Is also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses of
ADMINISTRATION of the law. The adOp-
tIoh 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
i hy fhGA N6f
or the State; but any payments to be
made Dy the State, by reason of dam
aSe ny hail or wind will have to be
mnde from such fund and from no
other. In the settlement of any such
damages the State would assume no
fund, and could not further be rem
dered liable. A similar amendment
was offered at the general election of
l9OS, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered 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 y ind, or either, and
to provide fund for that purpose, may
impose 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 the
lands of the persons so listing the
same, to meet the necessary expenses
in ha nd mini iskr
law and thus relieve the State there
from. This last provision was not In
cluded in the amendment offered in
1908.

legislation passed by the state legis-

therefore, unconstitutional The rail

The 2-ccnt passenger rate and the
recent reduction of freight rates in all
commodity lines must now be in
creased to the old figures prevailing
before the beginning Of the state rail
road and warehouse commissions at
tempts to reduce them.
The decision holds that any attempt
on the part OF the railroad commission
to adjust rates is discrimination
against the regulation of interstate
commerc2 ana therefore unconsttu.
tional. se cdcct OF his decision is
apparent .Le enough TO nearly wipe
out the I~,emaMns powers of the

Orders Held Unconstitutional.
The main feature Of the decision IS
its reference to the unconstitutionality
of the laws and orders, of which there
are nine. In part the decision says:
THE rates complained of and recit.
ed in the bill OF complaint operate as
burden upon and interfere with a
regulation of and are unjust discrim-
ination against commerce between the
states conducted and carried on over
,and upon the lines of railway"-of the
companies. And each of them is con-
fiscatory and deprives the complain
ants of their property without due
process of law and therefore said acts
and orders are, and each of them is,
hereby declared to be in violation of
the Constitution of the United States
and are and each of them is void and
of no effect"--so far as the companies,
their directors, agents and employees
are concerned.
The injunction stands against the
railroads, their officers, the employees
the attorney general of the state, the
railroad and warehouse commission
and the representative shippers who
were the defendants in the suit
brought by the stockholders of the
railroads.
Suit Brought by Stockholders.
The suits were filed by attorneys
representing the stockholders of the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Minneapolis and St Louis railroads
but all other railroads operating in the
state are affected by the decision. The
railroad attorneys took no part in the
cases. They were brought by the
stockholders as a third party affectea
and the railroads We're, in effect, de
PENDANTS in the suit. The injunction
granted enjo:ns the railroads from
continuing the present rates and or
ders the officers of the various com
panies to put the former schedules in
to effect.

nine separate cases, three of which
were decided in favor of the stock
holders. In no case did the state VIII
