WASHINGTON LAWYERS
TO GIVE $4,000 BONDS?

Spokane, WASH, May 7.-Dundas
Henderson of Spokane, is making a
campaign for a legislative enactment,
which provides among other things
that every lawyer shall give
a bond of not less than $4,000 as a
guarantee of honesty upon his
admission to the bar of Washington.
He says that in view of many flag
rant breaches of trust the adoption
of such a rule by the state would
result to the advantage of the public,
as well as being a gain to the legal
profession.
In support of his contention he
cites the case of Alexander H.
Gregg, attorney at law and former

member of che legislature of Wash
ington, who was convicted in
Spokane a few days ago of the
charge of embezzling funds which
GENE into his hands through legal
matters with which he was con.
nected. Gregg confessed, saying
that while he could not account for
his action 1T may be that it was
just and utter responsibility when
it comes to handling money" One
of his clients was a working woman,
who lost $500 through his specula.
tons. Gregg was sentenced to the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla to
serve an indeterminate period, not to
exceed Is years.

quaint them with the facts.

NOOAus suSsA WILL VAC A0Clos
Make a mental note Of these few
facts and reflect upon them: Koochi-
ching county contains about 1,8OO,-
600 acres; it has approximately 70O,-
900 acres of swamp land and 1885,
900 acres of school land. In other
words, more than one half of its
total area is owned by the state.
The greater part of this state land,
though good agricultural land, is
covered with merchantable timber.
BY legislative enactment, not by con.
stitutional provision, the state de-
mands the cash for this timber be-
fore the land is sold. The same
minimum price is placed upon the
land, stripped of all timber that will
make as much as a three inch top
fence post, as has been demanded
for state land in the richest agricul.
tural counties in the state. The
state sells the fee to only the sur.
face, reserving all mineral rights,
and probably the right to use the
surface itself if required for mining
operations. In the year 1910 only
5000 acres, or less than 1-1OO part
of the states holdings in this county
is offered for sale, and no one can

buy any of that unless he is at In
ternational Falls on May 10, with
cash enough in his pocket to pay
for the timber, besides IS per cent
of the purchase price of the land
and the interest for year in adj
vance.
And then reflect upon the fact
that of the 100000 acres of swamp
land selected by the state of Mime
sofa, 100000 acres have been given
away, timber and all, to railroad
companies. Then let your thoughts
revert to the need of settler, the
demand for roads, and conditions
generally in Koochchiching county.
and then ask yourselves whether you
have duty to perform.

this meeting and of all subsequent
meetings of this association will
bring the best possible results, and

leading member of the state legis-
lature who lives in one of the south.
western counties, in which there is
probably not a native tree or an
acre either of school or swamp land.
Though he has never visited North
ern Minnesota, he volunteered the
statement to me that he believes
that the laws directing the manner
of disposition of these lands are
unreasonable and wrong and should
be radically changed. He further
deplored the fact that homeseekers
are leaving Minnesota, while the
state has such vast areas of un-
occupied land, and asserted his
belief that Minnesota state lands
ought to be on the market every day
in the year, instead of one day in
the year as at present, and that
every reasonable effort should be
made by the state to speedily place
an actual settler on every quarter
section. This gentleman will be in
the next house of representatives
ana you will find in him an earnest,
able champion of any meritorious
measure that you may propose. And
so you will find sincere, loyal advo-
Gates of greater Minnesota among
