The resolutions committee pre-.

unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the St.. Louis
County club resffirms it's faith il.
America, its institutions and prin-
Iciples of government, as the freest,
most liberal and most enlightcne
on earth, and this club further
affirms its profound conviction that
the highest demand of patriotism
today is that an intelligent under
standing of the principles upon which
this government is founded be
brought home to every person within
its borders to the end that America
may continue forever to be govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people.
Resolved, That the club pledges
its most vigorous efforts to secure
the adoption of Constitutional
Amendment No. /, known as the Bah
cock hard surface road law, and
urges active personal work on the
part of every resident of St. Louis
county to that end.
Resolved, that the County club
recommends that the committee in
charge of county rural nurses now
consisting of three members namely
the chairman of the board of county
commissioners, superintendent of ru-
raj schools and physician from Du-
luth, be increased to five members,
of which two shall be physicians and
one female member of the county
child welfare board, and that the
direction of these nurses be entirely
through this committee,
Resolved, that we enthusiastically
indorse the campaign being carried
on to attract to the cut-over lands of
northeastern Minnesota the sheep and
cattle grazers of the west and south
west, believing that in the locating of
the sheep and beef cattle industry
will result in the more rapid devel-
opment of intensive cultivation.
Resolved, That the present sys-
item of taxation of iron ore proper
ties has added 100000, 900 to the
tax rolls of the state within the last
twenty-five years, and that the con-
tinuation of this system unchanged
will increase the tax rolls within the
next few years by more than $1O,-
O00,000,000, thereby providing ample
funds for all state purposes and re-
ducing state taxation to the lowest
possible limits, probably to the point
OF complete extinction, and that
therefore no other form of taxation
of iron ore should ever be considered
in Minnesota.
Resolved, That the lakes, streams,
woods and roads of Saint Louis
county make it one of the rarest and
finest Fairgrounds of nation, and
that the club heartily endorses, as
invaluable to Minnesota, the work of

ltrophe that befell this section in the
