CONSIDER THE AMENDMENTS
Explanations and Comments Concerning the Seven Proposed
Constitutional Amendments
Remember the One Mill Road Tax and Work and Vote for
It.-KiH the Seven Senator Amendment With a Bio NO.

Besides voting upon the candi-
dates for president, governor, con-
gressmen, United States senator,
and other state and county offices,
the people of Minnesota at the cleo
ton November 5th will be called
upon to pass on seven propositions,
several of which are of very great
importance.
These propositions, all but one
of which are proposed amendments
to the state Constitution, should
not be overlooked in the excite
ment of the campaign. Every vot-
er should investigate them and vote
upon each according to his Judge
ment.
1T must be remembered that un-
der the constitution an amendment
must have a majority of all the
votes cast at an election-not mere
ly majority of the votes cast on
the amendment. If 100000 votes
are cast at the November election,
it will take $50, OO1 votes to carry
an amendment. no matter if only
that number of votes are cast on it.
If there were $50, 900 votes for an
amendment and but one against it,
it would fail of adoption.
Tristan amendment to the
Constitution authorizing the legis-
lature to levy state tax of one
mill on each dollar of assessed val
uation for state aid to road build
ing. The levy allowed now is a
quarter of a mill. which yields
about $500, 900 year. The pro-
posed tax would yield about mil
lion and a quarter year, and every
penny of it is needed. This amend
ment should by all means be adopt
ed.
"Second-A proposition to in
crease the gross earnings tax on
railroads, which is in lieu of other
taxes and assessments, from four
to FIVE per cent. This proposition
should carry overwhelmingly. Not
only does railroad property now fail
to pay its just share of the taxes,

be heard in Ely during the week
after next. The governor will
travel by special train and plans
thorough speaking tour of the
Eighth congressional district.
What day he will be here has not
yet been decided but due notice will
be given. As the governor is
fine speaker the people should not
miss the opportunity to hear him.
Other noted speakers will be here
during the last two weeks of the
campaign.

Sometimes the floral spathe OF a
great palm tree will dy open with a
sound like detonation in a mine.
Such an event occurred In a botnn-
ical garden in Algiers recently. The
spathe, nearly three feet long, was pro
jected TO a great distance and for
some moments the head Of She palm
tree was wreathed with golden dust
formed OF the debris Of the flower
The suns heat had roasted the flower
TO the color OF rust. The director of
the garden explained the explosion as
being due 10 a fermentation in the
flower caused by the extraordinary
dryuess Of the air. A violent irocco
had just passed. In Algiers ostrich
eggs explode in the same way and
from like cause.-Harpers.

frost, famine or the Cossack lance put
an end TO their power OF motion. In
that wretched state no nourishment
could have saved them. Innumerable
dogs crouched by the bodies OF their

and bowling their hunger and their
loss. Besides their suffering from the
cold and for the want of food, they
were assailed on all sides, not only by
Russian soldiers, but by peasants
through whose country they passed.
Altogether. Napoleon's retreat from
