speech was ended by the objections of
the audience. Among other things
Mr.. Chase said:
"Guilty of Treason"
knowing the Nonpartisan League
to be what it is, knowing its past rec
ord in North Dakota, knowing the
plans and aims of its leaders and
knowing what it is attempting to do
in Minnesota, the man who joins it
and aids in it's program is as guilty
of treason as if he attempted to lead
a revolution in America and the man
who advocates Townleyism is as much
a traitor as was Benedict Arnold"
The man who uttered that state
ment during the campaign of 1920
now states that the Nonpartisan
Leaugers (Farmer-Laborites of 1920
represented a splendid band of men
and women" How vote seeking mod
ifies a candidates utterances!
Chase Has Regal Coach.
The G. o. P. gubernatorial nominee
is touring the state in regal coach.
Pictures of it have appeared in the
newspapers but it is doubtful whether
this gives an adequate idea of how it
looks when the candidate is on the
march" There is the driver, of
course, out in front in the automobile.
Mr.. Chase rides in the coach behind
and it has been remarked by those
who have seen the train arrive in a
city that its movement is slowed down
to about 5 or 6 miles an hour in
order to give the people a splendid
view of the man who hopes to be-
come governor of Minnesota next
January. 1t appears, however, that
this touch of royalty in the year 1890
with farmers and business men broke
and workers unemployed, is not hav-
ing the finest kind of vote-getting eff
feet.

Mr.. Swenson is carrying on an &C.

! Pursuant to the authority granted BY
this section the legislature in 1881 IN.
creased the number Of associate JUSTICES
to four.
If amended as proposed. this section will
read as follows:
1.-THE supreme court shall consist
of one chief justice and six associate
Justices 1t shall have original juris-
diction in such remedial cases as may
be prescribed by law. and appellate
jurisdiction in all cases, both In law
and equity, but there shall be no tria!
by jury in said court. 1t shall hold
one or more terms in each year, as
the legislature may direct, at the
seat of government. and the legisla-
ture may provide. by two-thlrds
vote, that one term in each year shall
be held in each or any judicial dis
trict 1t shall be the duty of such
court to appoint reporter OF its de-
cisions. There shall be chosen. by
the qualified electors Of the state.
one clerk of the supreme court. who
shall hold his office for the term OF
four years, and until his successor Is
duly elected and qualified; and the
majority of them. shall have the
power to fill any vacancy in the Of
flee of clerk of the supreme court
until an election can be regularly
had"
The Purpose Of the Proposed Amendment:
The supreme court, as now organized
under the constitution, consists of chief
justice, and four associate justices, all
elected by the people. In 1918, In order
to take care of the Increasing business OF
the court, the legislature passed law
providing for the appointment OF two
commissioners to assist the court In the
performance OF Its duties. The act un.
der which these commissioners are APP
pointed provides that each shall receive
the same compensation as Justice OF
the supreme court, and also provides that
II, by amendment to the constitution, the
number of associate justices shall be in
creased to six the office of commissioner
shall without further act be abolished.
In practice the commissioners sit az
members Of the court, hear arguments,
read briefs, take part In discussions,
write opinions, and In general do the Same
work as the regular Justices, but they
have no vote In determining the final de-
csions Of the court. The legislature cam
not give the commissioners a voice In the
decisions Of the court, since the organ
ization Of the court is governed by the
constitution.
The purpose OF the proposed amend.
ment Is to provide for the election of two
more associate Justices with full author
ity as members Of the court, to take the
place of the present two commissioners,
who will then cease to hold office.
Tho Effect Of the Proposed Amendment:
The effect Of the proposed amendment,
II adopted, will be to provide for the cleo.
tion of two more associate justices Of the
supreme court with full authority as
members Of the court, replacing the pre-.
tional expense.
The ballot used at the election should
have printed thereon the following:

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 3.

By the adoption of Chapter 431, Laws
1929, the legislature has proposed an
amendment to article Of the Constitu-
ton by adding thereto a new section to
be known as section 8. and reading as
follows:
amy Of the public lands of the
state. including lands held in trust
for any purpose, may be exchanged
for lands of the United States as the
legislature may provide, and the
lands so acquired shall be subject
to the trust, If any, to which the
lands exchanged therefor were sub
ject."
The Purpose Of the Proposed Amendment,
BY section 2 Of article 8 Of the constI.
tuition school and swamp lands owned by
the state may not be disposed Of other
than at public sale. The purpose of the
proposed amendment is to abrogate this
requirement In so far as the disposal Of
such lands to the federal government is
concerned by authorizing the legislature
to provide for the making Of direct ex-
change with the United States Of such
state lands In return for lands owned by
the federal government.
The Effect Of the Proposed Amendment.
The effect Of the proposed amendment,
adopted, will be to abrogate, under
such conditions and regulations as the
legislature may prescribe and to the ex-
tent necessary to effectuate exchanges Of
state, school and swamp lands for lands
owned by the federal government, the
rule requiring the disposal Of school and
swamp lands only by public sale. Such
abrogation and the consequent provision
for exchange Of lands In pursuance Of
legislative enactment authorized by the
proposed amendment will not impair or
diminish the trust funds Of the state aris-
Ing from the sale Of school and swamp
lands, since the proceeds of sales of fed
eral lands SO acquired by exchange must,
under the proposed amendment, be de.
posted to the credit Of such trust funds.
The ballot used at the election should
have printed thereon the following:
Third:

Quintets.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Past the mid
year examination break, seven
Western Conference basketball
teams swing into action tonight
with prospects that the Big Nine
race will be as muddled as ever
when the contests are over.
Two of the leaders in the cam
paign, Purdue and Illinois, meet
second division teams. opposing the
Boilermakers, conference pace set
tiers with three victories and no de-
feats, will be Chicago, defeated in
its five conference starts this sea-
son. The Illini, with record of
three victories and one loss, meet
Minnesota, victorious in but one of
its five league tits.
The other leader In the scramble,
Wisconsin, takes on a nonconference
IN Carroll college.
Unless dope goes wrong. the Indi-
ana-Ohio game at Columbus will
have little bearing on the final
standings. The Hoosiers, having
broken even in four games, are
favorites as the Buckeyes have
dropped four Of five.
The other teams are idle tonight.
NorthWestern's quintet closed it's
work for the week Friday night by
trouncing Marquette, 40 to 10.
