large expense would be reduced
materially by the cutting off of the
large mileage fees and travelling
expenses. Other figures were cited
to prove that it costs much more to
transact county business in St.
Louis county than in any other
county in the state.
Both speakers closed by saying
while they were in favor of county
division their sole desire at the
present time is to have the bill now
before the legislature become a law
giving Minnesota counties chance
to vote on division. There is a
county division law now on the
books but the supreme court in a
recent decision declared it blot
on the statutes and the new
measure is to take place.
The bill now before the legislature
provides that 25 per cent of the voters
of any county may by petition filed
with the secretary of state bring
about an election on county division.
Within forty days after filing of the
petition the governor must call a
special election to decide the question.
Within ten days after the issuance of
the proclamation, the county auditor
must call such election for day not
less than thirty days nor more than
thirty thereafter. The returns are
to be made to the secretary of state.
and they must show not only the
total vote for and against. but the
result in the proposed new county,
independent Of the remaining part of
the parent county. If the returns
show that a majority of the voters in
the county, and majority of the
voters in the proposed new county,
favor the division, the governor is TO
proclaim the creation of the new
county.
The new county is in existence from
that moment, but it remains attached
to the old county until it picks a
county seat and elects its new county
officers. A special primary election
must be called by the county auditor
Immediately. Candidates for county
offices are to file as in regular elections
and candidates for the county seat to
90 upon the ballot by petitions signed
by thirty voters and accompanied by
a fee of 800. This primary election
must be followed Immediately by a
general election at which successful
nominees will be voted upon. The two
communities having the highest num-

Der of votes for county seat will go OF
the general election ballot. Provision
is made for the, organization of the
new county government, and for the
transfer of records.
The new COUNTY is to continue tC
be liable for its proportion of the eX
cess if any, of the Indebtedness of the
original county above the value of its
county real estate and buildings and
of the balance of funds in its treasury
In case the value of such real estate
and buildings and the balance of funds
in the county treasury exceed the
amount of the county debt, the new
county is to be entitled to its proper
tionate share of the surplus.
] The validity of the establishment
of such new county "shall not be
affected by the failure or refusal of
any county officer to do any of the
acts or things required by this act but
any officer who shall refuse or wilfully
neglect to perform any duty herein
required shall be guilty of malfeasance
in office"
On the face of it the bill looks
amiable enough and unless a
woodchuck is Struggled in be-
fore it is engrossed, the measure
seems to fill the want. Consider
able opposition has developed
throughout the county to even the
bill, but from this distance the
reason for the opposition does not
seem apparent as the measure is
purely in line with the progressive
spirit and tends to correct bad
county division law now on the
statutes under the provisions of
which the whole matter of dividing
a county is cut and died regardless
of the choice of the people.
Those III Ely who have had a
chance to read the bill have no OBJ
jections to the same becoming a
law. AS to county division, that
will be another question and must
be fairly discussed when it becomes
an issue.
In another column under the
head of Effects, of County Dnvis-
ion" will be found some figures
prepared by the division champions
that are worth reading.

Crcscup's Synchronic Chart Of United
States History.

This book stands out from among
all other books by the novelty Of its
makeup. 1t is built upon practical
idea, an idea which is in its application
TO book-making almost wholly new. IL
includes a number OF American histor'
ica maps and diagrams. principal
among which is large folding chart.
Upon this chart each important
event of our national history is set
down in such way that it's relation
to every other event both in time and
locality can be seen at a glance. Each
OF our states has its separate place
upon the chart where its individual
history is shown, and its career can
be traced back TO. the territory from
~-hieh- it-Aas- developed -connec.
ticn with other states is made clear
as we'll as it's part In the general his.
tory OF the nation. The relation OF
ctr country to others is also shown,
the events of European history bear
ing upon America being noted In
bIiefer form. The influence OF Euro
pean nations upon America is empha'
sized by the coloring OF the various
portions OF the chart. All OF this is
kept in chronological order by lines
dividing the chart into centuries and
quarter centuries
The text of this book offers another
nov city. Its main chapters form a
brief American history arranged In
strictly chronological sequence. Each
chief event stands out in big and
heavy type. Events OF less, but still
prominent importance, appeal less
strongly to the eye. Minor matters
necessary explanations, connecting
passages, are dressed in minor type
The scholarly character and mechant
cal accuracy OF the book are OF high
grade throughout.
