DON'T FORGET AMENDMENT
NO. ONE

Whatever you do, don't forget to
vote Eyes" on Amendment Mol, the
first on the Ii It of proposed constitutional
amendments that will be passed upon by
the voters of Minnesota Nov. 7.
Amendment No. proposes to set
apart out of the states permanent funds
a revolving fund of quarter of million
dollars to be used in improving state
lands before they are offered to settlers.
The cost of improvement is to be added
to the sale price of the land, and when
the land is paid for this money goes
back into the revolving fund. When
the need of the revolving fund ceases,
it will be returned intact into the per-
menent state fund from which it was
taken.
Without it's costing the taxpayers a
penny, the working out of this amend
ment will do these things: 1t will enable
settlers to 60 upon state land and make
a living from the start while they are
clearing the remainder of their tracts;
it will hasten the sale of state lands and
enhance the price at which they are
sold, thus enriching the permanent school
funds; it will put. idle acres into pro-
ductive use; it will put on the tax rolls
land that now shares no part of the cost
of government; it will make land that is
now stumbling block to development
assume it's share of the cost of making
roads and building schools.
The use of this money will not be an
expense, but richly profitable invest
ment.
No matter in what part of the state
you live, you should vote for this amend
ment which means so much to the fu-
ture Of the state. ~
And remember that failure to vote on
this amendment is exactly equivalent
to a vote agaisnt it.
1t is very hard to pass a constitutional
amendment, because to do it takes the
affirmative votes of a majority of those
who vote at the election; not majority
of those voting on the amendment, but
those who go to the polls.
If 100000 voters go to the polls in
November, 150,001 must vote Eyes" on
this amendment, or it is lost. If only
100000 of those who go to the polls vote
on the amendment still there must be
150,001 votes in it's favor, or it is lost.
If only 100000 Of those who go to the
polls vote on the amendment, it is lost
even if every one of them votes ''yes''
and there is not a single negative note.
Remember to vote on Amendment
No. l., and to vote ''yes''. Duluth

No Need for q Substitute Yet.

''Have you thought out a suitable SUBJ
stitute for the Christmas tree?" asks an
exchange.
There might be any number Of sub
stitutes suggested, but why should there

The plea for substitute is the report ed
growing scarcity Of proper material for
the good old tree that has made the

tions. If there were less commercializing
in evergreens the trees would last long
time yet.

SOME OF WILSON'S IDEAS
Rightful Use of Power

No American who has caught the
true historic enthusiasm of this great
country that we love, can be proud of it
merely because of it's accumulated great
material wealth and power. The pride
comes in when we conceive how that
power ought to be used"

It was voted at a meeting of the
Florida Press Association last week to
boost the price of all weekly papers to
$500 year, and to increase advertising
rates, owing to the high cost of paper.
The proposition to finance the establish
ment of paper mill was also discussed.
The latter is matter which Minnesota
publishers might well take into considera-
tion.

For World Trade and Finance

We have left it until very recently
to foreign corporations to conduct the
greater part of banking business in bills
OF exchange. We have seemed to hold
off from handling the very machinery by
which we are to serve the rest of the
world by our commerce and our industry.
And now with the rest of the world i'm
paired in its economic efficiency, it is
necessary that we should put ourselves
at the service of trade and finance in all
parts of the world. At St Louis,

System (Not Judges) Unjust
The process of corruption in the justice
of this country does not lie so often
where it is supposed that it lies, with
the men who preside over the trial cases.
1t lies with the system which determines
who shall feel the pinch of the law and
who shall not, and the poor man, the
uninfuential man, the man who does
not stand in with the gang will feel the
pinch of the law and the other man will
not. It is disgrace to the judicial
system of the State and the Union, and
I stand here to protest against it as a
representative American citizen, for
such things should not be allowed to
exist-At Newark May /, 1913.

New Ulm had visition Sunday or
rather several of them. Joe Reynolds
of the Mankato Free Press accompanied
by Judge F. w. Hughes drifted in on
the noon train, ostensibly to call on the
Review Office, but from the length of
time they stayed we have hunch the
chief attraction was elsewhere. Possibly
the pickaninny band belonging to the
stock company playing I'm Old Kent
tucky'' was the drawing card. At any
rate we're glad they called and hope to
see their smiling countenances oftener
in New Ulm. A Sunday spent here is
sure to be an antidote for too much

Protection For The Projectors.

It has been suggested that the city
council provide electric lights for the
"Keep-to-the-R Right" signs, which were
recently placed at the intersection of the
principal streets of this city. Either
that or place a man at each crossing to
protect them from careless drivers. A
week ago two of the signs were hit and
badly demoralized, and last Saturday
night some needless autoist ran into the
one at the crossing of Broadway and
Center streets, leaving nothing but the
bare pole. The morning after" these
occurrences the city has a more or less
tipsy look and it gives bad impression.

success. for permission 20 send on 70
the men relief from a large fund which
has been put at his disposal by the

but that lately a decided change mas
taken place.
The American Ambassador is known
70 be under great difficulty in dealing
With Turkey. owing TO the many serl-

Washington, Dec. 10. - Few people
not familiar with conditions on the
Niagara frontier realize the impor-
lance of the power famine now afiict-
ing the industries in that vicinity, steel
plants in Buffalo, a great variety Of
manufactures in the Tonawandas and
the electro-ch emicsl industries az the
falls, not TO speak of lighting. power
and trolley companies in tVo-seore
cities and towns to the east.
Chairman Flood of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee to-day introduced Z
Joint resolution in the House authoriZ-
ing the Secretary Of War TO permit the
use of all the water allowed under the
treaty with Great BritAin-an extra
4,400 cubic feet per second. The
companies on the American side have
been using $500 cubic feet and the
companies on the Canadian side 10000.
Il has been held heretofore that the
use of more than $1,000 cubic feet
would endanger the scenic beauty OF
the falls.
The power famine has been caused
by the diversion at the command OF
the Canadian government Of 30 per
cent Of the power heretofore imported
from the power plants on the Canadian
side.
The grant TO the Secretary OF War
is 10 be only.for year. Senator Wads-

GERMANY MAKES PLANS
FOR IMPORT SYNDICATES
Associations for Getting Raw Materials
viii BE Under Government Control

from Tie Tribune Bureau
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE formation
Of import syndicates under government.
control for the importation Of raw ma
terials FOR use throughout the empire
is the latest plan of the German gov
eminent for the rehabilitation OF us
industries after the war. These syn
dicates will be formed along the lines
Of the present war raw products as
socistions, which have been called into
existence during the war.
IL is the purpose OF the German gov
eminent 20 assume full control of these
associations and see that the most
needed raw products are obtained dur
ing the period Immediately succeeding
the ending Of hostilities. After the first
needs shall have been met the question
will arise as to whether Germany can
revert at once 20 conditions under which
each individual can import raw prod
ucts freely. or whether the creation OK
import syndicates with monopoly priyi-
leges will be necessary. These are 70
be used during the second period,
which is 20 follow the first. in which
the most pressing needs are to be met.
Various arguments are being sd-
vanced for and against the creation Of
these syndicates. The main argument
in their favor seems to be that these
bodies, under government control, will
be able to provide for the general vel
fare better than private concerns would
or could do, and that until after the
perplexing questions of the rate Of eX
change and trade balances shall have
been settled IL will be advantageous 70
have the importation OF raw stufs
highly centralized.
II is, however, urged that if some
control is 20 be necessary 1t can be 50
cured by the establishment of import
banks working in addition TO and in
dependently Of private enterprise. 1hN
latter plan seems TO have many adher-
ents in business circles.
