Senator P. H. McGarry Of Walker Ex-

plains Amendment No. l to
N. M. D. A. Delegates.

Senator P. H. McGarry of Walker,
chairman Of the revolving fund COM
mittee of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association, explained
Amendment No. to the members of
the association yesterday afternoon.
The passage of the amendment, ac-
cording to Senator McGarry, will
mean the entering Of over $4,000
good, substantial farmers who will
Immediately become taxpayers on
state lands.
Senator McGarry's address in part
is as follows:
II will take your time for only a
brief period to explain what the Re-
volving Fund Amendment No.
really means; it's cause, it's effect and
the general demand for such legis-
lation. The demand comes from no
one class, but from all classes and
from no one section of the State but
sections of the State, as it means
the development and sale of about two
million acres of undeveloped state
land.
Taxes Increased.
We are made conscious by our
ever increasing taxes that it is neces-
sary something should be done to re-
duce taxation in Minnesota if pos

sible. Our many State Institutions,
and they are on the increase, are
demanding large appropriations, and
while members of the legislature
have stood severe newspaper criti-
cisms on account of the so-called ex-
travagance of the legislature, it is
very difficult to find any member
who will vote against a needed ap-
preparation to maintain our state in
stitutions in decent and creditable
manner to the state.
Gives Opportunity.
Thus we are face to face with a
very important problem and it has
been the judgment of many of our
experienced Legislators that to de-
crease our taxes we must increase
our tax payers. Therefore, this bill
or constitutional amendment was
passed two years ago last winter, but
failed of being ratified at the polls
by reason of lack of interest, and I
can state that is the only reason last
session the same measure was passed
changed only in a manner which the
state may improve certain portions
of the State holding and my own idea
is we should improve about five acres
of land on every good tillable pro-
ductive forty, giving the man of
meagre means an opportunity to make
Ia home and an independence on a
Minnesota farm.

by the time the last forty acre tract
of land is slightly improved that the
revolving fund should, and doubt
less will be, intact and returned to
the State Treasury and in reality, all

This in brief is a modus operand

producing within five years from the
time Of the passage of this bill and
the development of land before re-
ferred to at fifty thousand good sub
[stantial farmers on State Land who
will immediatly become tax payers
to the State. It will encourage and
in a manner compel the holders of
private lands to likewise improve

anticipate the same results on private
lands, thus giving to the state at
least one hundred thousand farmer

$40 Per Acre.
1t will dispose of two million acres
of state land at an average price of
$40 per acre, thus turning into the
state treasury twenty million dollars.
1t will aid the many settlers scattered
throughout Northern Minnesota by
giving them better opportunity to
have roads, schools, markets and
everything that tends to develop a
good farming community. Now, the
question may arise in the minds of
some why was this project not
brought forth long before. There
are many reasons.
One chiefly, which is, it has taken
years of experience and hard labor
to prove to the doubling Thomases in
this State and elsewhere that NORTH
ern Minnesota soil is the equal of
lands which are selling at from SIS
to 5000 per acre. Our Northern n
counties have placed their different
farm products in competition with
the products of all other counties of
the state at our great state fairs and
in many instances have secured first
prizes, thus proving to the satis-
faction of all that the expenditures
of money is warranted to far
greater extent than Amendment No.

THE MUDDY MISSOURI.
How the River Lowers the Surface Of
the Land 1t Drains.

How the River Lowers the Surface Of
the Land 1t Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile of country drained it car
ries downstream 3S1 tons of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
~ from the country that it drains
more than 123,OOO,OOO tons Of silt and
soluble matter, some Of which it dis
tributes over the flood plains below to
form productive agricultural lands,
but most of which finds its way at last
20 the gulf of Mexico.
1t is by means Of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded away.
It has been shown that the Missouri
river is lowering the surface of the
land drained by it at the rate Of foot
IN 6.036 years. The surface Of the
United States as whole is now being
worn GOWN at the rate OF IOOT III
9,120 years.
1t has been estimated that if this
erosive action of the streams Of the
United States could have been concen-
, trated on the isthmus of Panama ii
would have dug in seventy-three days
the canal which was completed after
ten years work with the most power
full appliances yet devised by man.

bring such plays as The Christian to
