MUST GIVE NAME

We have on Several occasions called
attention to the necessity of folks
signing their names to articles sent
us for publication. Whether it be ex-
pressing an opinion or just small
news item, the editor must know
from what source the contribution
comes. Even if it is an article where
the name is not to be published when
it apears in the newspaper, the source
of the article must be known to the
editor, or it can not be published
During the past few weeks especially,
we have received several communi-
cations without any names, some of
them Just news items most likely
correct enough and o. K, but as long
as we are not familiar with the items,
we can not take a chance on pub
fishing them without knowing their
source. We have nc, way of telephon-
ing, writing, or otherwise commune
eating with those sending in such
items-if it is necessary to have any
correspondence or conversation con-
corning same-unless we know from
whom they come.
Remember, that no attention can
be paid to even the smallest news
items unless we know from where
they come is back of the writing
and so that we know it is reliable.

stock in the names of persons who

stock in the names of persons who
are without means.
Whoever buys stock which is SUBJ
ject to the double liability is assum-
ing potential liability for an amount
equal to the par value of his stock.
If the enterprise is successful he is
safe, but if it fails and the corporate
assets are insufficient to take care
of the corporate obligations he will
be called upon to pay. For this rea-
son alone large proportion of the
corporations doing business in the
state have been organized under the
laws of other states where there is
no double liability.
Minnesota practically the only
state in the Union which has such
provision in it's constitution and the
changing of it is one for the Legis-
lature to determine. 1t is argued
that it does not properly belong in
the constitution, it is argued further
that it may be proper to subject GER
tain corporations such as banks and
insurance companies and perhaps
some other corporations to the SUPER
added liability. This is because of
the nature of the business in which
they are engaged. On the other hand.
it is not proper to subject industrial
and mercantile corporations to any
such liability. According to those
favoring the amendment, there are
more than four thousand cooperative
corporations in Minnesota today and
each one is subject to the double Ii
ability unless they should come with
in the exception which has been made
in favor of manufacturing and mer-
camille corporations.

course, be worked out by the Legis-
lature. The object will and must
be tosreduce the tax burden on such
lands while the timber is growing
and to levy no taxes on the timber
itself until it has reached a merchant
able state
Adoption of the amendment and the
passage of such laws will not result
in any additional expense to the State.
Amendment No. 8.
Section 3, Article 10 of the Consti-
tuition of Minnesota, as amended On
November 5, 1872, by the people of
the state, is interpreted by the Su-
preme Court of Minnesota as meaning
that stakeholder in any Minnesota
corporation is liable for double the
amount of stock held by him for the
payment of debts of the corporation.
He is first liable for the payment of
the par value of his stock and if the
corporations assets have been ex-
hausted in the payment of its debts
the stakeholder is liable for any re-
naming debts to the amount of the
par value of the stock owned or held
by him.
The following proposed amendment
to this paragraph of the Constitution
will be submitted to the people of
the state on November End:
''The Legislature shall have
power from time to time to pro-
vide for, limit and otherwise reg
ulate the liability of stockhold-
ers or members of corporations
and cooperative corporations or
associations, however organized"
The effect of this amendment if
adopted is to repeal the double Ii
ability provision and to empower the
Legislature to determine when and
under what circumstances a super
added liability shall be imposed.
By reason of the double liability
provision great many enterprises
are forced to incorporate under the
laws of other states. After incor-
poration they qualify under the for
eign corporation laws of Minnesota
and thereby acquire practically the
same rights with reference to carry
ing on business as our domestic cor
porations. AS a result of this method
of evading the constitutional liability
the state loses revenue which would
otherwise accrue to it in the way
of filing fees and capital stock taxes.
If the double liability provision could
be enforced uniformly against all
stockholders one serious objection to
it would be removed. Experience
has shown that as rule this cannot
be done. Some stockholders have no
financial responsibility; hence the
burden falls only upon those who can
be forced to pay. A substantial pro-
portion nearly always avoid payment
because they have no property sub
ject to execution or have placed the

AMENDMENTS TO
BE VOTED UPON
Analysis of Three Constitutional
Amendments to be Voted on
Nov. 2, Prepared by st. Paul
Civic Union.

For the purpose of acQuainting
voters of Minnesota with the three
proposed amendments to the Consti-
tuition of Minnesota which will be
submitted to the electors for their
approval or rejection on November
I'd, the ST. Paul Civic Union, Incor-
porated, through it's committee on
elections, Charles ]. Andre, chairman,
has completed an analysis of the pro-
posals.
'Our sole interest in doing this,
said Mr.. Andre, lis to assure the
amendments fair hearing. In the
past it has been true that worthy
amendments have failed because citi-
zens have not voted on them through
lack of familiarity with their pro-
visions. There is no reason to be-
lieve that previous amendments would
not have passed had the voters been
fully informed on them. For this
purpose the ST. Paul Civic Union has
undertaken this work, but does not
hold any opinion or make any recon-
mendation".
Amendment No. 1.
The analysis shows that amend
ment No. 1 provides in effect that
the Supreme Court shall hereafter
consist of Chief Justice and six
Associate Justices, instead of Chief
Justice and four, Associate Justices,
as provided by the Constitution.
At the general election in 1913 a
proposed amendment increasing the
number of Associate Justices from
four to six was submitted to the peo-
pie but did not receive the required
number of votes to pass. 1t there
fore became necessary for the Legis-
lature to pass an act providing for
the appointment of two Supreme Court
Commissioners, which it did The
act provided that each Commissioner
should possess the same quail fl atoms
be appointed for the same term, re-
eeive the same compens alton, perform
the same duties and take a like oath
as the Justices of the Supreme Court.
1t also provided that upon the in

deeply grieved as a result of the
fatal accident.
In conversation with the editor
of this newspaper a few days ago.
Mr.. Rodenberger gave out his version
of the accident as follows: Seeing
the strong light of the on-coming
Weekly care / slowed down my car
and drove to the right hand side,
hugging the ditch as closely as safe.
The rear hub of my car was struck
by the front hub of the Weekly car;
this showed my car into the Glitch,
bGt no one in my car was hurt. The
Stafford car was about $50 feet back
of us and shortly after the Weekly
car rubbed against my car, it crashed
into the Stafford car"
A newspaper is, of course. not judge
and jury in a case of this kind and
its report would have no bearing in
court case, if such should result.
character is given quite detailed
report, it is only natural that it
should be fair to both sides and not
create a falseIimpression. The editor
of the American has been well ac-
quainted with both the Stafford and
Rodenberger families fer Cozen
years and we have never heard of
them driving otherwise than carefully,
and for that reason we regret if the
news article of last week gained a
wrong impression amongst their
friends.
Mrs. Stafford who received a deep
cut across the forehead which neces-
STATED dozen stitches, and also suf-
fered badly swollen eye, is getting
along as well as could be expected
following this injury and the great
shock of seeing her husband killed
right at her side.
Automobile accidents are becoming
so numerous on the highways that it
behooves all drivers to be as careful
as possible, for, at the rate accidents
are being reported, it seems that even
the most careful are in danger. 1t
is taking the joy out of auto driving
and it seems that something will soon
have to be done to curb ACCIDENTS.

REGARDING THE ACCIDENT

The American regrets very much
that the report of the Automobile ac-
cident near Willow River, that hap
pened Thursday evening, Sept. 16,
and which was published in last
weeks American, has caused con-
siderable dissatisfaction in that the
report gave only one version of the
affair. For this reason we are glad
to give space to a statement by Mrs.
John Stafford which is published
elsewhere in this issue. =

ing the car just ahead of the Stafford
car, and being very close friends OF

crease of the Associate Justices to
six the office of Supreme Court Com
missioner should without further act
be abolished.
Since 1913 the Supreme Court of
Minnesota has consisted of a Chief
Justice, four Associate Justices, and
two Commissioners. The Commits
sioners differ from the Justices in
only two particulars, viz. ID Justices
are entitled to vote on all questions
before the Court, whereas the. Com
missioners are not entitled to vote on
any question before the Court; (2)
Justices are elected by the people,
whereas the Commissioners are ap-
pointed by the Court.
Inasmuch as the Commissioners are
not entitled to vote, minority in
stead of majority of the Court some
times decides the case. 1t is argued
by those in favor of the amendment
that as long as the people pay the
salaries they should have the privi-
lege of electing the Commissioners.
The result of the passage of this
amendment will be, briefly, a change
of title from Commissioners to "As-
sociate Justices" and to make the
offices of all the members of the
Court elective instead of partially
appointed. No new office is thereby
created and the State will not incur
any additional expense.
The amendment has been approved
by many courts and by the State Bar
Association.
Amendment No. 2.
Amendment No. is an addition to
the Constitution and not change in
any existing provision. 1t reads as
follows:
Laws may be enacted for the
purpose of encouraging and pro-
noting forestation and refore-
station of lands in this state,
whether. owned by private per-
sons or by the public, including
the fixing in advance of a definite
and limited annual tax lon such
lands for a term of years and a
yield tax at or after the end of
such term upon the timber and
other forest products so grown,
but the taxation of mineral de-
pOsits shall net be affected by
this amendment"
A sim lar am n 'ment was Submitte
to the people at the general election
in November, 1924, but failed to re-
ceive the required number of votes in
order to pass.
1t is not intended that the State
shall engage in forestation or that
public funds shall be expended for
that purpose. 1t is intended, however,
that the laws relating to taxation
shall be changed so that private cap
ital and enterprise will be induced to
engage in forestation for commercial
and civic purposes. The proposed
amendment is in the nature of an
enabling act.
If the proposed amendment is adopt
ed the Legislature will have the
power to classify lands in this STATE
with reference to their adapt
ability or use for growing timber and
to tax lands devoted exclusively to the
growing of timber separate and apart
from the timber itself and to tax
the timber only after a given number
of years or after it has reached ma
turity. The precise plan will, of

In order for the three amendments
to pass they must receive the affirm
ative vote of majority of all the
electors voting at the election. In
other words, a voter who neglects to
vote on these amendments is in effect
voting against them and it is to
avoid this emergency that thee st.
Paul Civic Union is circulating in
formation concerning them.
