BELTRAMI
DIVISION
IS URGED
EEIN!.a.!..

The people of the northern part of
Beltrami county have started an or
ganized movement for county divi-
sion. At a mass meeting held at
Spooner IL was unanimously decided
to recommend the amendment by the
legislature of the law Of 1913 regard
ing county division.
BeltraTni is the largest county in
the state and the northern and south
ern halves are separated by Red Lake.
There is no direct railroad communi-
cation between the upper part of the
county and Bemidji. the county seat.
It Is necessary to go by way OF War
road or International Falls when
travelling from one end Of the county
to the other.
When Roseau county was set off
from Beltrami about twenty five
years ago, the Northwest Angle and
two islands-Garden and Sandy-that
lie close to the new county were over
looked and still belong to Beltrami.
A permanent county division or
ganization has been effected with the
following officers: President, William
Noonan of Baudette; vice president
Joseph Melloney Of Spooner; secre-
tary, William Zauche of Baudette;
treasurer, A. w. Atwater of Williams;
directors, Gus Erickson Of Spooner, E.
w. Collins of Dutchie, George Eric
son Of Spooner, Arthur Canem Of
Carp, Hello Clementson Of Clement
son, J. r. Norris of Williams and H.
B. Imsdahl of Pitt.

WILL GO AFTER
LAWLESSNESS
With VIGOR

It is proposed to grant to the gov
ernor of Minnesota an emergency fund
of $4,000 q year to put down lawless-
ness and violence such as has resulted
during the past year from the work of
The proposition is embodied in the
bill favorably reported by the senate
committee on general legislation, and
is the result of the conference held last
week by a joint committee of both
houses. Governor Burnquist and Attor-
ney General Smith. attended the con-
ference and assisted in framing the bill.
Crimes now included under misde-
meanors are made gross misdemeanors.
Sheriffs are, under the new bill, made
more responsible than heretofore, and
their duties more definitely defined. The
matter of deputies is dealt with point
eddy, and the governor is, in effect, put
into closer command of the shrievalty
forces of the state than ever before.
The bill is regarded as a satisfactory
solution of the present situation so far
as the legislature can go. Its passage
will put the problem up to the execu-
tive end of the government, and
through that part, clearly UP to the
sheriffs of the counties in which dis
turbances may occur. AS 1t is perpetual
in effect, the present ]. w. w. disturb
ances are merely the spur that caused
action.

CON CON ISSUE
ON NEXT WEEK
Continued from Page ona

tives A. g. Ddvet OF Richland. ]. F. T.
O'Connor of Grand Forks, and 8.
HendrtcKson OF Burke, II. ]. Blanch-
ard Of Stark, Tenneson OF Cass and
Mackoff ct Stark. viii be among those
taking the floor In opposition to the
measure.
The speakers who will support the
measure, will urge it's adoption by the
house Of representatives on the. theory
that the people of the state. in the
recent election, voted for q specific
program that cannot be attained un-
der the present constitution OF the
state.
They also will urge that the legisla-
ture Is only assuming responsibility
to the extent Of giving the people an
opportunity to vote on the proposed
constitution.
For the opposition, the point of pro-
cedure will be raised. 1t being main
tanned that the legislature IL without
power to submit to the people a new
constitution. They will insist that the
legislature would be attempting to
usurp a power not intended for 1t.
The brilliant fight that Is being
made by the Nonpartisan league lead
ers for the success Of their project, u
holding the attention of the state.
At the present time, seventy-seven
members Of the house of representa-
tives are pledged to the support OF the
constitution bill, and the minority has
but little hope OF being able to swink
SUFFICIENT number into line to defeat
the measure.
In the senate there are now nineteen
members pledged to the support OF the
act, twenty five being required to pass
the bill on a majority basis.
The question of referendum has
been raised, of course. since this
movement was placed under way.
Pres. A, C. Townley insists that the
referendum would not be applicable to
the measure, because 1t is not an act.
The opposition is just as insistent,
however, that the constitution meas
ure would be just as much subject to
] the referendum as any other bill pass
1 ed by the assembly.
I To place the bill beyond the opera
ton Of the referendum would require
a two-thirds majority in each house.
| The league now has sufficient
strength in the house to do that, but
the senate presents an entirely diff
ferent problem.

HOME OIL
COMPANY WILL
ENLARGE PLANT

At the first annual meeting of the
stockholders Of the Home Oil COM

cided to double the capacity of the
present plant. A new warehouse will
be built and two additional tanks will
be installed early in the spring. Div
idend checks for the last quarter of
1915 for eight per cent were distribut-
ed to stockholders. This makes six
teen per cent dividends for the six
months the company has been in bus
mess.
Stockholders expressed themselves
we'll pleased with the result of the
companys business. That they ap-
preciate the efficient work of the Sec
rotary, Bernard F. Knuth, was evil
denced by a unanimous vote to double
his present salary. Johnston Wagner.
H. J. Harris and Leslie Welter were
reelected directors.
Not a single complaint had been
heard by any of the stockholders. On
the other hand, all who have used the
products sold by the company vera
well pleased with them.
1t was decided to place an exhibit
at the Fargo automobile show.
The business meeting followed the
annual banquet which was served in
the dining room Of the Comstock.

Is required to do at the present time.

Gus kinds.

speaker, ''the 1915-16 report OF the
commissioner OF agriculture and labor
shows that there is 800 invested in

manufacturers have done wonderfully
