for the purpose of organizing in this

very much like the Shriners IL their

SIXTH PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The sixth proposed amendment IL
contained In Chapter 511, 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
to be known as Section ia, and which
shall read as follows:
'Section Tia. Laws may be enacted
exempting lands from taxation for the
purpose of encouraging and promoting
the planting, cultivation and protec-
ton of useful forest trees thereon"
EFFECT. The effect of this amend
ment is to authorize the legislature to
enact laws exempting from taxation
lands of private persons to be used In
the planting, cultivation and protection
of useful forest trees thereon, and thus
supplement where the lands of such
private persons are devoted to refOr-
estration, the purposes contemplated as
to public lands by the nth proposed
amendment. The authority so granted
II part OF a general plan for the refOr-
estration of land within the state. If
the Legislature does not pass such laws,
such lands will not be exempt and the
power to repeal such a law, when en-
acted, remains with the legislature.
Power to pass a law to exempt such
lands from taxation the Legislature
does not now possess, and 1t IL, theros
fore, an additional grant of power.
Yours respectfully, ~..-. ~

preceding year. for what purposes and

EFFECT. The Constitution requires
the treasurer to publish yearly 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 1t was expended. 1T also re-
quires a like statement of the names OF
the persons, and the sources, as to
money received, and In both cases
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-
lteve the treasurer from such publica-
ton. This change In the Constitution,
however, would not prevent the legisla-
ture from hereafter directing by law
that such, n different publication, of
the same other information should
be made by the Treasurer.

AMENDMENT.

The fourth proposed Amendment Is
contained in Chapter 500, General Laws
of Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1t Is
sought to repeal Section % Of Article
Nv of the Constitution, which section
now reads as follows:
"Section 90. The legislature shall
provide by law for an enumeration Of
the inhabitants of this State in the
year one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-ive. 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-
! 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

| 1915, and every ten (1O) 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 tho senators and
| representatives among the several dis
tricts according to the provisions of
| section 2 of this article.",s ! 'Hs<%g~
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
| ment will be to direct the Legislature
! to provide for a census Of the inhab-
| itants of the State in the year 1915,
| and every tenth year thereafter, and
will also authorize the legislature to
| change the boundaries of congressional,
| senatorial and representative districts,
| or Of any one of such districts, and to
| apportiOn anew the senators and rep
| resentatives among the several dis
! tr1cts, at any session after any State OF

| best, change at any session the bound
! aries of such districts and appOrtiOn
! anew the senators and Representatives
! and thus redistrict the State every two
years.

THIRD PROPOSED AME
MENT.

The third proposed amendment IL
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
Of Minnesota for the year 1900.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1T II
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
to be known Section II, and which
shall read RS 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 OF 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"
= ment, if adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become n trustee In the
collection and disbursement OF n fund
for the payment of dama:res to grow
ing crops by hail 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 1T there
could be no tax for such purpose I'M
posed ON the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The legisla-
tNre Is also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses or
administration of the law. The adOp-
ton of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the tax
ing machinery of the stute be used to
levy and collect the tax necessary to
raise such fund and to provide for the
disbursement Of same by the officers
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
1905, 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 Wind, or either, and
to provide a 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, or either, to further
provide an additional tax upon the
lands of the persons 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.

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 it 10 at
present, means the expenditure, under
of approximately $4,000, 4 sum which
can be used to excellent advantage un:

The first proposed amendm ent Is con-
tanned in Chapter 500 Of the Laws OF
Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1T Is
sought to authorize the payment by the
State from the State Road and Bridge
Fund of one-half of the cost of con-
structing or improving any road or
bridge therein, and Is an amendment
of Section 10 of Article of the Con-
stitutiOn, which now reads az follows:
"Section 16. For the purpose of lend
ing aid in the construction and i'm
provement of public highways and
bridges. there is hereby created a fund
to be known 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, how
ever 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 CD
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 third (s) Of
any road or bridge be paid by the state
from such fund.-" and to substitute
therefor the following:
"Section 16. 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 on
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 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-half (k) 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 (14) 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.
