CARAVANS ASSUMPTION

The successes of the Constitutional
lists in the field must have gone to
CarranZa's head. In no other way can
his magnificent assumption in asking
the United States TO retire from Vera
Cruz be explained. His hifaIutin
letter on the subject addressed to
President Wilson must have shocked
the latter, who had been relying on
the Constitutionalist leader to main
tain modus vivendi position in the
rampico incident. OF course the
United States will do no such thing

quite grandiloquent when he points

COLORADO STRIKE HORRORS

War with Mexico Is bad enough.
but the conflict that has been going
on In Colorado between the militia
forces OF that State and the striking
miners In the Ludlow district Is much
more deplorable. So far the fatalities
in this clash between the peace au-
thorities of the State and the armed
resistance OF the strikers have been
larger than those accounted for In the
seizure OF Vera Cruz. The country
just now is too busy with It's out
bursts OF patriotism. perhaps. to in
dulge in an outburst OF Indignation
over the terrible conditions that OBJ

lamentable features connected with
this outbreak is the death OF women
and children. non-combatants In every
kind OF warfare. but who were not
subject to immunity In this case.
While the soldiers may have shown

not be excused by any degree OF In
jury or wrong sustained by them In
their laboring capacity. II is not the
way TO settle labor contentious in this
country nor will IT ever be. The law
must be supreme. or else we will
come into chaos.
The burning of the tents occupied
by non-union workers, which resulted
In the cremation of women and chill

There was a great hue and cry over

Minnesota's Trust Fund.


BY conserving it's natural resour-
,ces, preserving it's gifts from the ma
ton, outstanding it's revenues and
income from land sales and from
timber and iron royalties, and by
holding intact all accretions to the
capital thus acquired and intended
to be used in furtherance of educa-
tional and other public purposes,
Minnesota has accumulated a trust
fund amounting to $30,221,418, a
sum exceeding, it is held, that of the
combined funds of similar character
in twenty out of the twenty-five
states east of the Mississippi river.
This has not been accomplished, of
course, without considerable self de-
NAL and self-sacrifice' on the part
of Minnesota's people. By throw
ing the resources of their state wide
open to all corners, as their neigh
bors did very largely, they could
have induced earlier and greater ex-
ploitatiOn of these resources, calling
it development, and with this a
greater flow Of investment capital
and immi grafton; but they were
wise, we think, to let their state take
on it's growth in a more conservative
way.
The state has advantages enough
to offer homeseekers and investors,
without granting them prizes to the
impairment of it's permanent cap
ital; and one of the results of it's
indisposition to dispossess itself in
order to provide more for the incom-
er than perhaps he was entitled to,
is it's ownership today of lands
granted by the government which
yield an annual income to it's treas
ury of $1,20o,0OO.
All such income, all income deriv-
ed from it's property in trust and
from its trust fund-goes toward the
maintenance Of iqa university, it's
other state schools, to education in
general, and to bridge and road i'm
provements. The trust fund can
never be diverted from such uses
and can never be diminished. It is
the existence of this fund that makes
possible a statement of such import
as that the educational institutions
of Minnesota care unique in pre-
senting a complete system of seoul
ariZed school instruction in which
tuition is absolutely free of charges,
from A, B C to the electorate of phil
osophy." This is something to be
justly proud Of, and wherever there
is opportunity for any state or any
province in any country now laying
the foundation of government and
society to secure as patrimony for
the schools large tracts of undevel-
oped territory, the example Of Min
nesota may we'll he potent. Take
long rather than short views of the
problem. Let the increment of value
that follows growth of population
come to the state and to the schools
rather than to spectators in lands,
If money is needed Immediately de-
rive it from leases and rentals and
not from sales. If mineral wealth
is discovered retain title but permit
mining on a royalty basis. Thus
may state or province endow it's
own educational institutions, lessen
the burden of direct taxation, and
avoid repinings over waste of cap
ital entrusted to it by the central
governments Christian Science
