TO CHANGE CONSTITUTION
F. J. McPartlin Would Follow FEEDER.
al Law in Swamp Land Sales.

Reminding the legislature that
Minnesota has administered her
swamp land grant from the federal
government in a way contrary to
the terms of that grant, F. J. McPart-
lin of International Falls wants a
constitutional amendment submitted
that will bring the state constitution
in line with the federal act provided
that the states receiving these grants
should apply the proceeds, as far as
necessary, ''to the retaining of said
lands by means of levees and drains -
In direct conflict with this the
Minnesota constitution, adopted in
1858, under which the state was ad-
mitted, provided that the proceeds of
swamp land sales should go, half to
the school fund and half to the per-
AAAeAAO1S oCoIO AAoI1IoI4OAS LULU. 1uS
lands have been administered on that
basis and the legislatures have fol-
lowed the state constitution rather
than the act of congress.
The conflict between the two has
been frequently commented upon,
but no steps have ever been taken by
the federal government to compel
the states compliance with the terms
of the grant. The state has spent
money for drainage of these lands
out of its own revenue fund. Mr..
McPartlin says that there is no
thought of attempting to secure any
Of the swamp land fund for recIama-
ton, but wants the constitution
amended SO the proceeds from swamp
land sales in future shall go to de-
velopment of that region.

Says Statement He Made Concerning
Red Wing Training School For
Boys Il True.
ABUSES PREVALENT THERE
Institution Should Be Rechristened
"A School Of Crime" Says Form
L.. State Senator.

: A. D. Stephens stands squarely be-
hind the statements he made before
the legislators who were in Crooks
ton Saturday to visit the Agriculture
al school, regarding the conditions at
the Red Wing Training School for
boys. He has known for some time
past of the abuses going On there,
and before making the statements
he did to the legislators he confirm
ed the information he had received
before, and secured the consent of a
person standing high in St. Paul,
and whose name will be divulged
when the legislative investigation is
started, as the same party will aid
the work of investigators. Repre-
sentative Donald Robertson, who was
one of the committee, is also &C
quainted with some of the facts and
gave assurance that he would lend
his influence in sitting the matter
to the bottom. Mr.. Stephens stated
further in an interview yesterday:
"The investigation will further
show that the system of taking care
of delinquent boys at Red Wing is
is Anticipated in every way and en-
tirely out of harmony with what is
advocated by Judge Ben B. Lindsey,
and should better be rechrtstened a
school of crime than one to correct
delinquents and abolish crime.
"Unless whitewash is applied, and
do not believe it will be, the condi-
lions at Red Wing will be found as I
have pictured them. There are agen-
cies now at work which should re-
veal the conditions. The boys will
leave the school convinced that they
are criminals, rather than the re-
formative results desired.''
Mr.. Stephens says it is now up to
the legislature to make an investiga-
ton and see if the statements he has
made are not correct, and then do all
possible to rectify them.
