In addition to the industries men
toned the prison conducts farm of
$50 acres which aids materially in the
maintenance of the institution.
Thousands of gallons of milk and
pounds of meat, butter and vegetables
are produced at minimum of cost to
the state.
In the way of amusements and en-
tertainment for the prisoners, little in
the uplift and educational way is
overlooked. The new prison has an
auditorium that would be a credit to
a city of $4,000 or more inhabitants.
Here are held Chautauqua meetings,
moving pictures twice week, and
other entertainments. Weather per-
hitting, baseball games in season are
held every Saturday afternoon. All
prisoners who observe the rules are
allowed these privileges.
From 1878 up to 1901, when the
board of control was established, the
Saltwater prison showed a deficit.
Only two years are recorded as show
ing any earnings. Last year the
earnings over expenses were $4,000
per man. The total earnings were
$429.12 per man and in 1900, the year
before the board took charge, only
$200.35 per man. Food then cost the
state $58.26 per man, while now it
is $500.
To transients the new Minnesota
prison is one of the big attractions.
1T is visited by from 100 to 200 per-
sons daily, all of whom pay a small
fee for the privilege. Out of this the
expenses of the library are met.

MINNESOTA'S COUNTRY NEWS
PAPERS.

Forty-nine years is a long way to
look ahead, yet it is but few days to
the man who has lived them and looks
back. The Minnesota Editorial associ-
alton will have it's forty-ninth birth
day at St. Paul the 10Th and goth of
this month.
1t is the strongest association of So
called country" newspaper men in
the United States. 1t is this because
of its history and of the men who
founded it and shaped it's early activi-
ties. They were strong men who had
strong papers; men of influence, of
personal integrity, energy and loyalty
that was reflected in their writings
and their attitude in public affairs.
They set the pace and fixed stand
ard that has made Minnesota's coun-
try newspapers what they are today
the best geographically, the clean
est and the ablest of those of any
state in the Union.
These annual meetings, while al
most wholly social, with shop talk and
craft papers on the side, have given a
unity as we'll as a rivalry that has
been of great value to the newspapers
and to the state.
Breaks come in the ranks, but the
gaps are soon filled; there are many
changes of ownership of Individual
papers, but the same spirit, purpose
and ideals persist year after year.
The older members miss Hall, Whit
ney, Ramaley and many others, but
the tide sweeps on.
1t may be doubted if many of the
members fully appreciate the full val
ue of their association or all they owe
to those men of 80 and 40 years ago
who fixed it's standards. But the val
ue is there and they get it, while to
the state and its people, still more I'M
knowing, there is even greater value
in this organization which has held up
the ideals of these newspapers which
serve them better also than they
know.-Duluth News Tribune.

MUTUALS CUT INSURANCE.

Township mutual" fire insurance
companies in Minnesota on January 1,
1914 were carrying insurance amount
ing to $342,223,319, on which the an
nual premiums were 1896, 1872. The av-
erage cost for each 500 of insurance
IN force was Is cents, as compared
with an annual charge of as cents
per 500 on three-year contracts bv
private" insurance companies. This
meant a saving to the farmers of the
state of 1857, 900. 1t has been esti-
mated that the total saving for IS
years up to 1910, allowing for the eff
feet of competition in reducing the
rates of old-line companies and for
compound interest on the premium
charges saved from year to year. has
probably been about $4,000, 900.
These figures are taken from ex-
pertinent Station Bulletin LAG on
statistics of Cooperation Among
Farmers in Minnesota" by L. D. H.
Weld, Chief of the Division of Re-
search in Agricultural Economics of
the University of Minnesota.
Fire insurance companies of this
type were among the first permanent
~ successful cooperative enterprises
organized in Minnesota, dating back
to 1867. In 1878 the insurance in
force in such companies was $923,67s.
The losses incurred were $425. In
1911 insurance in force was that CIV
en- in the foregoing. The losses in
CURED that year were $513,973.

Inc university VI MlHHeSotd re-
ceived from all sources, including fed
eral aid and interest from trust funds
$429, 479 in 1901. With the expansion
of it's colleges and needs of the branch
agricultural schools this has swelled
to $1,389,313 for 1915.
Some decreases are shown. The state
fair got SAL 900 in 1901, and only
$4,000 this year. State aid to county
fairs, on the other hand, increased
from $14,245 to 100000 in the IA
years. For paying expenses of sher-
ifs the appropriations was $14,500 in
1901 and $12,5O0 in 1915. Wolf boun-
ty appropriations dropped from $751;
900 to $4,000. Drainage appropria-
lions were the same, $4,000 for each
period.
Abolition of fees in some depart
ments makes comparison difficult. In
the insurance department the appro-
priation in 1901 was $4,000, but fees
went to the department. In 1914 fees
amounting to $4,000 were turned in
to the state treasury, and this years
appropriation is $26,500.-A. M. w.

DEVELOPMENT OF A GREAT
STATE.

During the past couple of years
comment has been made on the leaps
and bounds by which the expenses of
operating the state of Minnesota has
increased. A few days ago State Au-
ditor ]. A. o. Preus compiled state
ment showing the amount appropri-
ated in the various departments of
the state in 1901 and the amount ask
ed from the present legislature.
No state in the union has made
more wonderful strides along devel-
opment lines in the last dozen years
than has Minnesota. Naturally this
development added additional la
Dor in every department, requiring an
increased expenditure. Then, too,
nearly every nook and corner of the
state has, through their proper repre-
sentatives, asked for public funds to
establish parks and other features,
the total of which amounts to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Natur-
ally the legislator desires to make a
Showing" for his home county and if
he is wise he will combine with others
with like interests to put their meas
ures across. This feature has, of
course, tended to increase the tax bur-
den upon the people, but in many in
stances the increased expenditures
have been the result of the rapid de-
velopment of the state.
Tn Herald has never been frighten-
ed by high taxes, because it is we'll
known fact that an individual, bust
ness, or commonwealth cannot devel-
op and expand without an increased
expenditure of energy and means. 1t
is undoubtedly true that considerable
money has been wasted and will con-
tinue to be wasted until the states
affairs are placed on a business basis.
Gov. Eberhart strongly urged the leg
islature to do this in every message
he sent to the law-making body and
Gov. Hammond took a strong stand
along the same line in his inaugural
address.
The bill drafted by the efficiency
commission appointed by Gov. Eber-
hart has many valuable features, but
on the whole is unwieldly and unprac-
ticable, and it is doomed to defeat.
However, good will ultimately result
from their labor, and the Herald ex-
poets to see the legislature of 1917
enact laws that will thoroughly re-
model the business affairs of the state
but it is too much to expect acommis-
sion working without funds to accom-
plish, in the time spent upon the
work.
Legislative appropriations in the
past have been extremely liberal, but
the people themselves are responsible
for this condition, because the people
have not taken enough interest in the
matter to give their legislators speci-
fic instructions how to proceed. But
with even the lavish expenditure
neither Minnesota nor her people
have become impoverished and new
settlers are coming into the state in
larger numbers than ever before.
The statement prepared by State
Auditor Preus is interesting and is
published herewith:

Senator Campbell of Hennepin
county would reduce the Minnesota
legislature to one body of 100 men,
bers. AS this proposed law would only
affect 26 sections of the state consti-
tuition and would legislate all of the
present senators out of office, it will
of course die in the committee. But
then Campbell secured first page posi-

that probably was what he was after.
AS molders of practical tariff leg
islation the Democratic party has al
ways been woefully impractical. AS
soon as President Wilson was inaug-
urated congress set about to revise
the tariff, under the direction of Mr..
Underwood, and advised by Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Bryan. The results ne
cessitated the levying of war tax in
the time of peace, and even this has
failed to recoup a badly depleted
treasury. Recent Washington dis
patches state that one of the first
things for the coming congress to
tackle will be the remodeling of the
tariff on a higher scale. 1t won't be
long until 1916, after which the Re-
publicans will put the country on a
business basis once more.
