it will be taken up in the Senate as soon
as possible and there is said to be
general feeling around the State Capitol
that it will be soon disposed of in that
body. -..s
Bill Comes Up Today. T..
Prohibition has been the big topic of
conversation among the law makers
during the past week. The trainers of
the original bill were for a ''bone dry"
state, but with an amendment that has
been tackled on due consideration seems
to be taken for the brewery interests
outside the state, but with view to
putting the men of this state who have
their money in millions of dollars in
vested, out of business. By leaving out
the word Transportation the House
!, Temperance Committee has laid itself
aDen to criticism by all parties. Just
why the brewery owners of Minnesota
should be Disseminated against has not
SO far been explained: i. ..
Following is the amendment as it will
go to the House this morning.:
The manufacture, sale, barter, gift,
disposition or the furnishing, keeping
and having in possession for sale, barter,
gift, disposition, or the furnishing of
Intoxicating liquor of any kind, in any
quantity whatsoever, except for sacra-
mental, mechanical or scientific purpo-
>ses, or medicinal purposes upon the
written prescription of duly licensed
and practising physician, subject to such
regulations and restrictions as the legis-
lature may provide, shall be forever
prohibited within the state from and
after the first day of January, 1920, and
this amendment shall be self-enacting.
The legislature shall enact laws for the
enforcement of this section and shall pro-
vide suitable penalties for the violation
thsfeof."
r. Warner Changes Front.
Charles H. Warner of Aitkin, who was
a prominent candidate for the Speaker
ship of the House, has appeared as one
of the authors of the bill providing for
tonnage tax on iron ore. Mr.. Warner,
who is one of the Oldest members of the
legislature, has heretofore been an ardent
foe to tonnage tax proposition. He
denies that the failure of Duluth and the
iron ranges to give his candidacy for the
speakership has anything to- do with
his change of heart. He says the present
bill is so different from the former ones
that he can consciehtiously give it his
hearty support. '.
Suffragettes Disagree.
There is dissension in the ranks of
the suffragettes over wornan's suffrage.
The Minnesota Equal Suffrage asso-
citation is backing bill introduced by
Senator Sageng and Putnam giving
women the right to vote for president
which can be done without amending
), the constitution. The Minnesota Equal
Franchise league, on the other hand, is
supporting bill dropped into the hopper
of the legal grist mill by Representative
A. M. Peterson of Coleraine- the good
old bill providing for constitutional
amendment giving women the same
suffrage rights as the men from president
down to coroner. Both factions are
standing pat and both sides may win,
as the two bills are not necessarily in
conflict. 1t is apparent, however, that
if both factions joined forces in favor of
one bill they would be more likely to win
out. t-
Dissension Among Farmers.
b There is also dissension among the
farmer legislators as to grain legislation,
"A. F. Teigen has launched terrific
attack against the Farmers Cooperative
Equity Exchange, charging gross mis-
management which has resulted in the
loss of thousands of dollars to farmers
who have shipped grain to the Exchange
at st. Paul. He demands that the Ex-
change be investigated, together with
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and the Duluth Board of Trade, which
,sAxe investigated, fayed and crucifed
5Teigen and others in the session Of
1918. The Exchange brands Teigen's
charges as libelous and courts the fullest
investigation.
Public Hearings Prominent.
