THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment 10
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
or Minnesota for tho year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment 1T is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
tion to Article TX of the Constitution,
10 oe 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
10 provide a fund for that purpose, In
cludlng the necessary expenses of CIV
ing erect to this act, may impose a
speclnc tax upon lands, the owners Oh
winch, 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
tund so provided"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
.nent, III adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become a trustee in the
coIect1On and disbursement of fund
1or the payment of damages to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either.
Ihls fund is to be created and main
tanned by a 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-
0ltors Tor that purpose. Under 1T 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
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" 40
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 II. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
Of Minnesota Of damages to growing
crops by hail and ,ind, or either, and
to provide a 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 q 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.

Back on the Old Farm.

A turkey like mother cooked would
pretty near trade even for an automo-
bile, but the folks down on the farm
never consider the cost of things they
want to eat at Thanksgiving, says the
Detroit News Tribune. 1--WE raise it, ="
they say, and we ought to have the
first pick at it.
When hear the wind blowing out
side and see the leaves go whirling by |
always think of just such days as these
when we used to be all at home. 1t
takes just such wind to shake down
the hickory nuts and apples, and the
stiff, sharp air reminds the farmer that
it is time for hog-killing. ! tell you
they have fat living out there when all
those things are doing Everybody is
busy.
Sure they get pretty tired, but when
evening comea and they all flock in to
supper father doesn't bring in two or
three little pork chops that cost 40 cents
and taste like the inside of pine box,
and remark: my, but pork is hight
but he'll take the big butcher knife and
slab off half dozen slices of lean ham
each slice as big as dinner plate, or
he'll pull tenderloin out Of its layers
of fat and chop up whole spiderful-
what in quantity would cost about 81 or
so in the market and what in quality
couldn be bought for kings ransom.
Say, can smell that aroma of frying
meat yet; fellow never runs across
any eatstuff that obliterates the reco-
lection of those things that We used to
have back on the farm.
And then after the supper is over the
boys bring in an armful of wood, beech
and maple and hickory, and they stuff
the big box stove, and after it gets
good start to burning they shut up the
hampers and let the stovepipe sing.
There's no music like that the wind can
play on one of those stopped stovepipes
I'd rather listen to it through long
November evening as browse by the
fireside than to have the best seat at
the biggest symphony concert that ever
came to town.
No matter how hard they had to work
out on the farm, it seems to me those
long evenings around the fire are a COM
pensation for it all. Susie brings up
the pan Of apples and polishes up their
cheeks on rough cloth, land Ben cracks
butternuts and hickory nuts and wal
nuts on the edge Of fiat iron, and
Charlie shells corn and Mary pops it,
and everybody munches, while father
tells stories and mother knits. Then
there are checker games for the home
championship, while every one crowds
around and takes sides, and after the
game is over the funny column Of the
paper is hunted up and everybody
laughs, whether the joees are funny or
not, just because they would all rather
laugh than not. Denver Republican.
