HEARING TODAY IN SUIT
TO TEST CAPITOL BONDS
Friendly Action Is Brought to Estab-
lish Validity of 81 100000
Issue.

The state supreme court will hear
today arguments upon the applica-
ton of the capitol commission for a
writ of mandamus to compel Cover
nor Lister and c. w. Clausen, state
auditor, to sign the capitol bond issue
of $1,5OO,OOO. The suit is a friendly
one, as both officials are members of
the capitol commission and their re-
fusal to authorize the bonds is purely
technical and done to test their valid
ity. Both approved the sale, as COM
missioners.
The bonds were sold to the state
of Washington Bankers Syndicate,
subject to the decision in this suit,
which is brought to test the validity
of the special levy to pay capitol bond
interest on condition that all such ex-
penditure be repaid to the general
fund from the proceeds of capitol
land sales. The point at issue is
whether this interest payment will
exceed the constitutional indebted
ness limitation of 100000, and cloud
the legality of the bonds. The issue
was sold January 10 and the pro-
ceeds are to be used to complete the
Temple of Justice and make other
improvements, as we'll as repaying
the loan from the state general fund.

Between eight and nine o clock
Wednesday morning the heaviest
down pour Of rain ever witness
ed in the state visited. Turtle
Lake. In As minutes 2.65 inches
'of rain fell. Every slough and
+ pot hole in the country is filled
to the early high water mark.
This gives this section Of the
country near five inches Of rain
in the past ten days.
Rain last Thursday and f ri
day completely spoiled the Equity
Picnic at Strawberry Lake, but
the farmers are game sports and
glad the rain came for it was
needed. AS this makes the
third year rain has spoiled that
picnic the suggestion might not
be out of place to keep right on,
with it and bring another rain
about the same time next year.

From Senator Nelson

Alexandria, Mimi, Oct. 80, 1916.
Hon A. j. Volstead,
Granite Falls, Mimi,
My dear Mr.. Volstead =
have noticed statement in the
Minneapolis Journal of Oct. 29th to
the effect that you had been opposed
to the legislation transferring the
Government Indian School at Morris to
the State of Minnesota for an agricul-
tural school. This charge is wholly
untrue and unwarranted. To my GER
tain knowledge, from conversations l
had with you during the tendency of
this legislation, you expressed your
self in favor of this transfer. The
transfer as effected not by separate
bill, but by paragraph in the Indian
Appropriation bill. The provision, as
inserted originally in the House was
somewhat vague and indefinite, but
Senator Clapp caused the paragraph
to be modified and made more definite
which met with your approval, as !
know of my own knowledge.
Yours truly,
KNUTE NELSON.
Morris tribune., 1916-11-03

see private citizen at Morris to
arrange to give away this school is
not made clear. The Commissioner
made general survey of the Indian
reservations and Indian schools, and
on that trip did go to Morris but how
did it happen that the Commissioner,
who had no authority whatever to
make any agreement for the disposal
of this school, entered into any such
agreement? l examined the records
in the Indian Office this summer in
regard to this transfer and there is no
such agreement there, all the cores
pondence in regard to this matter was
examined.
My real deviltry in the matter is
described by Mr.. Spooner as sending
him a telegram asking him to post
pone action on his legislation in re-
gard to the school until he heard
further from me, that he did not
hear anything and then took a trip
to Washington to see about getting
the school, that by accident while On
the train going to Washington he
fell in with Sherman, afterwards
vice President and then Chairman
/ of the House Indian committee, and
got his promise to help him, that he
discovered that I had bill to sell the
school to the highest bidder and turn
the proceeds over to the Indians and
that l had already got the substance
of that bill into the Indian appropria-
tion bill, that he then appealed to
Senator Clapp to help him defeat my
bill and that the Senator warned him
not to let me know anything about
Mr.. Spooner's presence in town and
that they would appeal to Mr.. Sher-
man to defeat my bill and Mr..
Spooner adds he got out of town
without seeing me.
That is an interesting story. 1t
reads like a novel. Mr.. Spooner, the
hero, goes down to Washington to
bring home the Indian school. A
strange but fortuitous providence
shapes the accidents so that he meets
Mr.. Sherman, the chairman of Indian
Affairs of the House and gets his
pledge of support against the william
that is trying to defeat him. Secrecy
is necessary. The plot would not be
complete without that so Spooner 81
lently steals away without letting me
know that he has been there to undo
my villainous work. Notwithstanding
Messrs. Sherman and Clapp that nefar-
ious proposition in the Indian bill
to which Mr.. Spooner refers was
passed in the House and was sufficient
to donate the school to the State free
of charge. Only two bills were ever
introduced for the disposal of this
school, one by Senator Clapp and the
other by me. The two bills were
identical in that they granted the
school and the land belonging to it to
the State free of charge. There is
AANN q "OAO III 0iIhSE bAA CudC WOuAu
authorize or permit the school or
any of the land to be sold. The
bills can easily be found, they are
of record.
When Mr.. Spooner produces a
copy of the bill that l introduced
containing the provisions he claims, l
will get out of his way so that he
may run for Congress. That, as his
friends all know, is what he has
wanted for many years. Mr.. Spoon

Polio Victim Recovering
