citation has said it's last word. The
resolutions score the state land policy
and make an appeal for reapportfon.
ment. The demand for reapportion.
ment comes first in the resolutions, as
the people of this section believe that
their future development and fair
treatment rests, above all else, on this.
But the state land policy is criticized
more mildly than it would have been
had 1t not been feared that political
color would be given to the expression
of the association.
AS it is, the paragraph expressing
demand for change in the state
land policy is in substance as outlined
by Robert J. Wells, candidate for state
auditor in an interview recently given
to the public.
Conservative Counsel Prevails.
There were men on the committee
hostile to State Auditor Iverson. There
was a disposition to make the express
sion stronger but more conservative
counsel prevailed and the chapter was
modified. Auditor Iverson had arrived
on the ground and it is possible that
the activities of himself and of his
friends had something to do with ton
ing down the resolutions relative to
the land policy.
The suggestion that mineral rights
be reserved to the buyer of lands was
made, but turned down, even though
accompanied by the suggestion of the
accompaniment of a 25-cent royalty.
The committee did insert declara-
ton to the effect that the timber on
land go to the settler so that he might
have an opportunity to build his home.
In view of the bar Of the constitu-
ton to securing what northern Mime
sofa thinks she wants, F. E. McPartlin
OF International Falls, came forward
with the suggestion of legislational
convention, but this was turned down
on the ground that northern Minnesota
would not be ready for legislational
convention until it had secured reap
portionment. It is proposed to have a
constitutional amendment placed be-
fore the people with view of secur-
ing a more business-like method of
handling the state lands.
Good Roads Paragraph.
The good roads paragraph was for
INFLATED by Robert G. Dunn of Prince
ton, and declares unequivocally for
better roads and for a liberal appro-
prfatfon for the maintenance of the
highway commission.
President Louis w. Hill of the Great
Northern and w. H. Gemmel of the
Minnesota and International Falls road
were present, urging separate para
graph relative to the opening of the
$4,000 acres of land in the Cass Lake.
Crookston and Duluth districts, which
was done.
A suggestion made by the represen-
tatives of the Minneapolis Publicity
club that Upper. Minnesota" be SUBJ
stituted for Northern Minnesota"
was not adopted, the delegates prefer
ing to retain the old description of
Northern Minnesota"
