ton to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section II, and when
shall read as follows.
section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment, by the state
or Minnesota, of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind, or either, ana

ing erect to this. act. may impose .
specific tax upon lands, the owners OF
which, At their option, have As:ec me
same with county auditors Tor tnat
purpose, and no payment shall be maoe
OF any such damages except from Tue
fund SO provided"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
nent, If adopted, will be to authorize
collection and disbursement of a fund
for the payment of damages to grow
Ing crops by hail or wind, or either
This fund is to be created and ma1n-
ta1ned by a specific tax i-lposed by tine
legislature upon the lands of such per"
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county au"
aitors for that purpose. Under it there
could be no tax for such purpose Inn"
posed ON the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The 1egtsla-
ture II 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
1lsbursement Of same by the of1cers
81 the State; but any Payments to be
