WAR CLOUDS HOVER OVER STATE
LEGISLATURE
War Measures Precipitate Hot Fights
Big Battle on Over Public Domain
Bil-Grain Inspection Bill Killed in
Senate.
(Bv Martin w, Odland)


St: Paul, April 9.-The Minnesota
legislature, like the United States con-
gress, has been graphing with the
problems of war all will probably so
continue till the end of the session.
This comes from the fact that some
Of the senators and representatives
deem it the duty and the prerogative
Of the state Of Minnesota to assume
functions which have been always ex-
ercised by the federal government. Two
measures in particular tending in this
direction are the so-called alien regis
tration act by Representative w. D.
Washburn of Minneapolis and the So
called public safety act by Senator G..
II. Sullivan Of Saltwater. So much
has appeared in the press about the
Washburn bill that the people ought
to know exactly what it is, so I give
it herewith in full:
s'Be It Enacted by the Legislature of
the State of Minnesota:
tsSection l. Whenever a state of wal
shall exist or be imminent between the
United States and foreign country If
in his Judgment the public safety SO
requires the governor may by procla'
nation direct and require every sub
iect or citizen of such foreign country
in this state within twenty-four hours
to appear before such public authori.
ties as the governor may direct in-euch
proclamation and personally registe,

Washington; April II. President

terms Of the administration plan for

Of selective draft. At the same time,
however, it was learned that tho War

Speaker Clark and Representative

drawn up after the most thorough con-

Both Speaker Clark and Mr.. K1tchin
told the President that much senti-
ment existed in Congress against the:
plan, principally on the ground that
draft should not be resorted to until
IN effort had been made to raise an
army through volunteers.
The effect Of this change would be

that they are supplied with food.
France, England and Italy in ordin.
lry times depended largely on Russia,

isolation of these areas they were
thrown wholly upon the western hem

1T is obvious that our allies must
