THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment In
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
Of MinnesOta for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment it IL
proposed to add entirely new Sec
ton 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, and
to provide fund for that purpose, in-
Guiding the necessary expenses of CIV
ing effect to this act. may impose q
specific tax upon lands, the owners or
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"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
ment, il adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become trustee in the
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 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-
dftOrs for that purpose. Under 1t there
could be no tax for such purpose im-
posed the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The Iegisla-
ture is also authorized to include I'm
fuch fund the necessary expenses OF
administration of the law. The adOp-
ton of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the tax
az 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
IF the state; but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of damn
tge by hail or wind will have to be
nade from such fund and from mo
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
provi6e for the payment by the State
of Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind or either, and
to provide 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. or 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 fund for the purpose of
paying damages to growing crops by
kaiI 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 mot i'm
cIuded in the amendment offered in
1908.

THIRD (1-3) of the cost of constructing

In. If this amendment Is adopted the

the cost of constructing any such road
or bridge, and the effect Of the amend
ment is thus to increase the amount
which the State may lawfully pay to-
ward such purpose.

Dear Sir:-Referring to proposed Com
stitutional Amendment No. would say:
AS state expert printer have given the
publications involved In this proposed
amendment special thought. and am Of
opinion both these publications are en-
tfrely superf1uous. The extensive annual
publication Sin a daily newspaper pub
iished at the capital city" attracts abb
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
~ concerned to secure a copy. 80 con-
form strictly with the law rs It is at
present means the expenditure, under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
Of approximately SIS 600. sum which
can be used to excellent advantage UNI
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.

A WELL SELECTED BILL.
Patrons at Grand Opera House Pleased
With Present Prouran1.

"fi eNo ~ oNauu OPcFd FloQSc flea6ed
With Present Program.
There is prevailing opinion among pa
irons of the Grand Opera House this week
that the Harris Amusement Company has
given an unusually well-selected and mer-
Glorious bill.
The program is vindication of the idea
that new faces new acts and variety IS
what the people want. The majority OF
acts on the list do not depend for their
comedy upon grotesque make-ups while
on the same bill is an act where a gro
tesque makeup adds TO the comedy.
Another marked difference I'm the bill is
In the dramatic end "All's Fair i'm Love. q"
which Frank L. Dean & Company are
presenting does not depend for its sue
cess upon comedy alone but switches
from comedy into a telling bit Of pathos
and then of into straight drama. The
average vaudeville playlet generally con-
tains but one thing.
At tho three performances to-day will
be the last opportunity to see the present
bill as there viii be complete change
on Monday at the matinee as usual. This
bill Is now being arranged and it Is ex-
pected that Il will show a number OF
novelties.

beach. it looked as if a cooling drink
would be out of question. when one
of the older members OF the party stat
ed that he had often heard of ice and
snow from the winter being covered
up with the shifting sands and keep
ing for years, and suggested that the
party look for sand mounds and then
dig down for ice.
In few moments a number of sand
piles were found where ice and snow
were plentiful The party had plenty
of ice for their lemonade and enjoyed

NEW YORK, May 19.-Clara Morris
CMrs. Frederick c. HarriotO Is critically
IN at her home in Yonkers. Aside from her
physical condition. grave fears are enter
tained for her eyeslght, which has been
threatened for the last three months. At
her home it was said that the actress has
been confined to her bed since March and
that she has been gradually sinking. Re
gardlng her eyesight, it was said that she
could see only dimly. Several specialists
have been attending her. Following gem
eral breakdown, her eyes began TO give
her trouble, and it appears that the ocu-
lists have been able to do little TO relieve
I her. The last time Clara Morris appeared
on the stage was on April ls, 1909. The oc-
casion was a benent performance for her
at the NeY York theatre. She took part In
