The Appeal., 1910-10-29
THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment is
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
OF minnesota for til, year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY This amendment it Is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
tlon 10 Article TX of the COnatitution'
10 be known as Section II, and which
shall read as follows:
section IT. The legislature may
|provlde for the payment, by the state
VI minnesota. of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind, or either, ana
10 provide q fund for that purpose, in
cludlng the necessary expenses OF CIV
ing erect to this act. may impose
speclhc tax upon lands, the owners OF
"nlch' at their opt on, have listed the
same with county auditors for that
purpose, and no payment shall be made
ol any such damages except from the
tund so provided"
EFfECT: The effect of this Amend
ment, IL adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become a trustee In the
collection and disbursement of fund
ior the payment of damages to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either
This fund is to be created and main-
ta1ned by n 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 he no tax for such purpose I'M
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 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. 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 g
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 a fund for. the purpose of
paying damages to growing crops by
hail md 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.

mittedly the father.
Governor Eberhart has responded
promptly and generously to the many
demands upon his time and strength
by the various commercial, agricu1-
tural and educational organizations of
the state, regardless of personal and
political considerations, and has come
into close touch with the real needs
of all classes of citizens in the state,
thus enabling him to conduct the busi-
ness of his office and to influence the
departments under his control to the
best interest of the whole people.
Governor Eberhart has given par
ticular attention to the needs of the
State University and Agricultural
school. exerting his influence toward
extending their advantages and op-
portunities more widely and profit
ably.
In the matter of appointments he
has pursued a conservative policy,
selecting men on the ground of char
acter and fitness rather than for
reasons of purely political expediency.
He has shown exceptional considera-
tion for the appointees of the pre-
ceding administration, asking of them
only that faithful attention to duty
that the state has right to expect
and while this consideration has in
many instances failed of apprecia-
ton. and while the public service has
suffered because of the injection of
partisan politics into certain depart
ments: he has refrained from the
exercise of his undoubted right to
make removals for cause.
Governor Eberhart today stands
pledged to a business administration
of his Office and in favor of every
legislative policy that conduces to the
common good

Hypnotism Recognized by
Law

A case of peculiar interest was
decided in the court OF Justice A. j.
Welter yesterday when that magis-
trate decided that hypnotism is not
a fake and that lessons in this art
are worth a cash consideration.
The case came up in the suit of
Charles H. Rasmussen against Prof.
Leon. the hypnotist, in which plain.
tiff was seeking the recovery Of $50
paid for lessons in hypnotism on the
claim that the whole thing was a
fake and that he had been swindled
out of the cash through misrepre-
sentation.
When placed on the stand, plain
tiff admitted that he had progressed
in learning the art and admitted
that as result of the lessons ne
had taken he had gotten various
persons under his hypnotic control
and on one occasion had been forced
TO call in Prof. Leon for advice as
to how to return his subjects to
their normal mental condition.
Various patrons of Prof. Leon testi-
fled in his behalf, supporting his
claims as to the hypnotic power.
Scientific men, also, testified as TO
the merits of hypnotism.
Justice Welter found in favor of
the defense and held that plaintiff
should pay the costs, which amount
ed to something like $50. He states
that Rasmussen's testimony alone
was enough upon which to return a
verdict for the defense.
After the hearing, Rasmussen ex-
pressed himself as being satisfied
with the result and opened negotia-
tons with the defendant for a con-
tinuance of the term of lessons for
which he had already paid and which
had been broken into by the suit.
Prof. Leon gave a demonstration of
hypnotism and its power in the
court room following the trial.

Prof. Leon was in Deming a short
time ago and exhibited at Clark's
Opera House.
