Preus Opposes Public Domain.

Opposition to the legislative meas
ure which proposes to create COM
mission of public domain was voiced
by ]. A. O. Preus, state auditor, speak
ing at meeting of the Northwest de-
velopment committee of the Civic &
Commerce association.
Mr. Preus AYERS that there are GER
tain duties which cannot constitution
ally be taken away from the state au-
ditor. He further decries the creation
of public domain commission because
he fears the present bill would concen-
trate too much power in the director
Of the commission and would not pro-
vide system of keeping check on his
activities.
He criticized the present form of the
bill for ignoring the civil service meth
cd Of appointment. He said the COM
mission could become a powerful poll
tical machine if the offices on the COM
mission were made appointiye.

IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN
THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
Review of Events of the Past Few Days
Discuss Governors Proposals.

Something like CONSERVATION, If not
heart failure, attended the discussion by
the university regents of the proposals
by the governor for reductions in the
university requests for legislative ap-
propriations. 1t was decided to pres
ent to the finance committee of both
houses the budget as agreed upon and
urge that the cuts suggested by the
governor be NOT made.
Would Hinder Extension.
In the maintenance item, including
salaries, the governor proposes cut OF
S150,OOO yearly for the two years for
which funds will be asked. President
Vincent explained that if this proposal
became effective it would mean either
that salaries of faculty members and
others could not be raised, as had been
purposed, or that needed additions
could not be made to the faculty to
relieve present student congestion.
Even if salaries were left at their pre-
sent level, he said, the funds available
after the Burnquist cut would permit
of adding only few extra men to the
staff.

$4,000 Miners a,el. w. w.

There are between $4,000 and 10000
members of the miners branch of the
I. w. w. in Northern Minnesota. This
was perhaps the most surprising state
ment made to the members Of the
House labor committee at a public
hearing held on labor conditions In
the northern part Of the state.
1t was the second of a series of
hearings on the bill, passed by the
Senate, appropriating 100000 for use
by the Governor in suppressing disor'
der in the lumber camps.
I. w. w. members testimony has
occupied the attention of the committee
thus far. r. l.. Buck and James Soren-
son told of being hired in st. Paul
early in January as lumber camp gun
men" and for working as such in
camps. They declared that Joseph Nc
Andrews, Koochiching county deputy
sheriff, armed and paid them.

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to
be all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
in n less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions neces-
sarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, In
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
q bushels.
The financial va}le of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceiyed that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.9O per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average Of
10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre, A large number are receiving
$1,000 per acre7-some have received
$500, and a few even more than that.
This price of course, is not all profit ;
it represents the gross return, ana the
cost of operation must be deducted.
/ but It does not, even at the highest hg-
ures. cost more than IS cents to raise
q bushel of wheat in Western CANADA,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
! that. In the United States the same
! class of land would cost in many dis
| tricts from 500 to $500 per acre, and
| even then q return of $1,000 would be
! considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class OF az
riculturaI. laud. capable $of producing
| crops that in size compare with any
| country in the world except, perhaps

c,,uIz Favors "A,l-Year" School.

Schulz Favors ."AiI-Year" School.
st. Paul.-Increase of the legal mini
mum school term from six to eight
months and removal OF the legal maxi
mum restriction of ten months 10
recommended in the biennial report OF
C. G. Schulz, state superintendent OF
education, soon to go to the governor.
It gives favorable mention to the "all
year" school,.
There is a growing sentiment that
the traditional summer vacation should
be shortened by intermittent vacations
of less length and that schools should
F be free to continue in session through
out the entire year.
mot only should the six months
minimum term be increased to eight
months, but attendance of pupils for
sharing in the state apportionment
fund should be fixed at 100 days in
stead of 40, as it now is"
Increasing the school term is only
one of a dozen recommendations In
the report for legislation. this year.
On issuance of teachers certificates,
for instance, Mr.. Schulz proposes exist
ing laws be repealed and power to fix
and adjust standards for training and
licensing teachers be left with GEN.
trai state authority.
Other recommendations include:
Creation of county boards of educa-
ton, which should appoint county SUI
perintendents; authorize county SUI
perintendents to appoint rural school
supervisors, their salaries to be paid
by the state; provision for state
mileage tax to replace the specific ap'
preparations as state aid for public
schools, and provision that no school
district shall receive aid for its schools
unless the district tax levy for school
maintenance exceeds 6 mills.

Would Change Taxing System

Three bills providing for sweeping
changes in the taxation system of the
state have been introduced in the House
by Representatives Anton Peterson, In
drehus, Marvin, Odland and Shipstead.
One of the measures would increase
the assessed valuation of iron ore,
whether mined or unmined, to Is per
cent of it's value instead Of SO per
cent, as at present.
The others relate to improved prop
erty and household goods, and would
reduce the assessed valuation on i'm
proved land, live, stock, machinery
and other property Of this kind from
331a per cent Of it's value to 20 per
cent, and would fix the assessed valu-
alton of household goods at 10 per
cent, instead of rs per cent.
