Patterson for Congress.

TO the white voters of Bamberg
county:
The campaign will soon be open
and 1 desire to say to my friends in
the Second Congressional District that
I shall be a candidate to succeed my
self to the 62nd Congress in the pri-
mary to be held during the coming
summer.
This announcement, will, trust,
dispel the erroneous idea in the minds
of few, created by recent exagger-
ated reports that my capacity for eff
Ffective work had been diminished by
reason Of Ill health.
Realizing by experience that q Rep
resentative's usefulness is in direct
proportion to his length of service, I
feel that I am better qualified to
serve my constituents now than at
any time in the past and, If am re-
turned to Congress they shall receive
the benefit of the experience l have
gained by reason Of participation in
public affairs.
Like other members of the minority
party in Congress I have been handi-
capped, and as a result Of partisan
action some Of the plans have for
improvement in our district and
State, for which have labored most,
have not been disposed of yet, but
sharing in the belief of my colleagues
that democratic ideas of government
will prevail in Congress after the No
vember election, am more anxious
than ever to be a member of the next
Congress and consummate the work I
have already projected In the interest
of our district.
I am deeply grateful to- my friends
for their past friendship and support
and hope to be honored with it again.
I am enjoying good health and am
very much alive to the needs and well
fare Of my constituency and, II hon-
ored with the nomination, I pledge
the best efforts of both head and
heart to your service. y
Yours very, truly,
J. o. PATTERSON.

test on May 4 at Vanderbilt universe
ty. Mr.. Carter left Tuesday for Van
derbilt.

none of the men get less than $4S,

$40 a year. We make this explana-

this city was held last Thursday even
ing in the rooms of the Associated
Charities in Jackson street for the pur-
pose Of formulating plans to carry on
the relief work on a larger and more
efficient scafe than formerly in San

A special effort will be made as a
result. by. the various organizations, to
increase the financial basis of the work,
and to this end a committee was ap-
pointed to inquire into the cost of liv-
ing so as to learn the exact amount
needed to furnish a family with the
proper food. The standard determined
is to be presented to the different So
cieties as a general basis and ways to
raise the necessary funds as a foun-
dation will be started at once.
A central system of registration at
the Associated Charities was also ar
ranged. so as to prevent professional
beggars from imposing on the various
societies.

societies were present:

COUNTERFEIT BANK
NOTES FLOOD STATE
Name of Pasadena Institution
Used on Spurious Bills

Reports are coming in from all quar-
ters of the successful passing of coun-
terfeit Pasadena national bank $40
notes. Though one or two of these
counterfeits were found In this city
more than a year ago, 1T was not until
the last week that great numbers were
put into circulation.
Yesterday one was confiscated by the
postoffice department and during the
last three days nine have been taken
up by the subtreasury, and many more
by other branches of the government
service.
It is almost impossible to distinguish
between one of the forged notes and a
genuine one. laid side by side, unless
the examiner is familiar with the secret
marks of the government. The federal
officers suggest that the best way to
determine whether a bill is good is to
secure a genuine one and compare the
two. The counterfeit will be found to
be on thinner paper, with the silk fiber
in il more unevenly distributed.

THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment IL
contained in Chapter sos of the Law"
of Minnesota for tn. year 1909.
PURPOSE. By this amendment 1T Is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
tiOn to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section IL, 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, ana
to provide a fund for that purpose, IN
cluding the necessary expenses OF CIV
ing effect to this act. may impose
specific tax upon lands, the owners ol
which, at their option, have listed the
same with county auditors for thdI
purpose, and no payment shall be mace
of any such damages except from the
fund so provided"
EFFECT. The erect of this Amend
ment, if adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become a trustee in the
collection and disbursement of "a funu
for 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 iElpOsed 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 II therS
could be no tax for such purpose I'M
posed ON the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The IeSlsla-
ture is also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses OF
administration of the law. The adOp-
tiOn 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 ISuVsS 6hf INV q
of the State; but any payments to he
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 40
liability beyond the amount of Such
fund, and could NOT further be rem
dered liable. similar amendment
was offered at the general election of
1903, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows:
"Section H. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
of Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hail and V ind, 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 "a 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.
Morris tribune., 1910-10-07
SIXTH PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The sixth proposed amendment is
contained in Chapter 511, Laws of MIN
nesOta for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. By this amendment it is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution
shall read as follows:
'SectiOn la. 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 fifth proposed
amendment. The authority so granted
is part of a general plan for the refOr-
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.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE T. SIMPSON,
Attorney General.

Z O L RTH PROPO Sc d
AMENDMENT.

The fourth proposed Amendment il
contained in Chapter 500, General Laws
of Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment it IL

" of the Constitution, which section
now reads fOIlOws:
"Sectton %. 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-
gressiOnaI 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

gressional, senatorial and representa-
tive districts, or any of the same, and
to appOrtion anew the senator's and
representatives among the several dis
trcts 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 fnhab-
ftamts 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 10
opDOrtiOn anew the senator's and rem
resentatfVes among the several dis
trfctS, at any session after any State or
Federal census. If adopted, the Regf,-
Iature might therefore, if 1T deems
best, change at any session the bound
aries of such districts and appOrEtrn
anew the senators and representatives.
and thus rediStrict the State every two
years.
