AMENDMENT.

contained in Chapter 5O7 of the Law.
of Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment it Is
proposed to repeal the provisions of
Section II of Article TX of the Com

Mr.. julius A. Schmahl
Secretary of State.
Dear Sir:-Referring to proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment No. 2 would say:
AS state expert printer I have given the
publications involved in this proposed
amendment special thought, and am of
opinion both these publications are en-
tirely superfiuous. The extensive annual
publication in 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. 10 con-
form strictly with the law as it is at
present. means the expenditure, under
of approximately $4,000, a 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.
Yours respectfully,
J. T. MANNIX,
State Expert Printer.

MENT.
MENT.

The third proposed amendment IL
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
OF Minnesota for ths 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 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
20 provide fund for that purpose, in
cluolhS the necessary expenses OF CIV
ing effect to this act may impose a
speclnc tax upon lands, the owners OF
"nlch, at their option, 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"
EFFECT. The effect Of this Amend
ment, If adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become n trustee In the
!or the payment of damages to grow
Ing crops by hail or wind, either.
ihlS fund Is to be created and main
tanned ny specific tax ilnpOsed by the
legislature upon the lands of such per-
sons. ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
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-
ture IL also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses of
administration of the law. The adOp-
t1On 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
disbursement of same by the officers
or the State; but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of dam
age by hail 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
dered liable. similar amendment
was offered at the general election of
l9OS, 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 Nind, 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
Tor 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 n 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
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
1905.
