Voters to Consider Three
Amendments at Fall Election

of manufacturing and mechanical
concerns. The provision is made eff
fective if the firms assets are insult
ficient to meet it's obligations in a
bankruptcy, and the stockholders are
liable for any sum up to the amount
of the par value of the stock held by
them. The proposed change would
limit the stockholders loss to the
stock and whatever sum he might
owe the corporation. The change
would not affect banks or other fin
ancial institutions.
The second proposal would make
the state supreme court a body of
six associate justices, presided over
by a chief justice. At the present
time, the court consists of the chief
justice, four associate judges and two
commissioners. The amendment
would abolish the commissioners, and
elevate the incumbents, Charles Lor-
ing and l. NJ. Olson to associate JUS
tees on the same basis as the other
four.
The post of court commissioner
was created in 1913 to help care for
the increasing amount of work be-
fore the supreme court, but the COM
missioners were not permitted to
vote on final decisions of the court,
although they draw the same salaries
and write opinions.
The third amendment would facili-
tate the exchange of state lands for
federal lands in the event either of
the governments wants to consolidate
its holdings in forests within the
state. At the present time, there is
no authorization for such a transfer.

Green's Lectures
Draws Big Crowds
Editor Evangelist Gives Thirty
Minute Talks Nightly at
Presbyterian Church

"Is it not better to have calloused
hands than a calloused conscience 2"
asked Guy w. Green in the first of
the series of lectures on Everyday
Religion" speaking at the Presbyter-
ian church. Mr.. Green is former
editor of Kansas City and he talks on
religion from the point of view of a
layman.
The first lecture "Why not give
more of yourself" the central
theme was Service" In elucidation
of this theme he said that those who
gave freely from the heart and were
of service to the community would
be the ones remembered one hundred
years from now. Washington was
not remembered because of his wealth
but because che gave of himself"
James Russell Lowell's "Vision of
Sir Launfel" furnished an apt illus
tration of man who gave gifts
without the giver," who failed to ap-
preciate the meaning of service. An
Interpretation of this poem answer
ed the question, "Why not give more
of yourself? 2"

AS man who has accomplished
things for his county and town,
man who is worker" in the most
vigorous sense of the term, JOS. R.
Keefe, of Redwood Falls is proclaim
ed by his friends in both counties as
the man for the job. And as election
day comes nearer and nearer Mr..
Keefe's name is given more and more
frequently in response to the ques-
ton, "Who's our next senator going
to be-"
Serving for one term in the House
of Representatives Mr.. Keefe accom-
plished much during that single per-
iod-so much that his friends and
constituents believe he is entitled to
a longer term and that the district
will be wise in availing itself Of his
service. Outstanding among his ac-
complishments of that period was the
passage of the Keefe Bill, of which
he was author.
This bill gave to Minnesota resi-
dents the right to elect their own re-
preventative in the United States
senate. Prior to that time the legis-
lative body had elected these officials.
Public men still point to this bill,
passed during the session of 1911, as
one, of the outstanding legislative
acts in the history Of the state. Sec
uring the establishment of Ramsey
Park as a state holding and play
ground was another piece of legisla-
ton in which Mr.. Keefe took the in
itiative. .
Conservative in his opinions, Mr..
Keefe is making his present camp
align on a platform of all possible
economy compatible with reasonable
progress in public growth and affairs.
A former member of the Redwood
Falls and North Redwood boards of
education, he has long believed in the
necessity of reasonable expediture
for public school education. Good
roads are among the public projects
for which he stands, advocating that
the cost of building and maintaining
cheese should be paid as far as posi-
BILE through state gasoline tax.
Mr.. Keefe became a candidate at
the urgent request of many voters of
both counties, and interest in his
campaign increases steadily.

Proposals Will Be Placed On
Ballots at November A
Election

Double liability for stockholders in
Minnesota corporations will be abol-
ished if the people of Minnesota will
remember to vote upon the amend
ments to the state constitution at the
November A election. Mike Holm,
secretary of state, calls attention to
the three amendments, explaining
that a majority of all votes cast will
be needed to effect their passage.
The proposals are:
To remove stockholders double LA
bility.
To elevate the present supreme
court commissioners to the post of
associate justices.
To provide for exchange of state
and federal lands.
The proposal to remove stockhold-
ers' double liability, Mr.. Holm ex-
planned, would give the legislature
the jurisdiction in the fixing of liza
bility of persons in corporations and
would have the effect of increasing
revenue from interpretations.
Minnesota is one of the few states
in the union having the double la
bility provision, resulting in frequent
incorporation of concerns planning to
do business here in other states. The
fees from this source would swell the
states income, Mr.. Holm said.
Under the present law, every stock
holder in corporation is liable for
the firms debts, except in the case

Marshall Gives Brown
Gridders Third Win
Finn in Sensational Run and
Corbett With Intercepted
Pass Give Victory

Coach Browns Redwood Falls High
School football team, exhibiting
amazing improvement within the
period of week, came through with
a 1910 victory over the highly touted
Marshall eleven last Saturday. The
game was played at the new Mar
shall Soldiers Field at 1890 a. m.
The game was played on fairly
even terms throughout the first half
with the local squad doing the most
of the ball carrying. 1t was left to
Tom Finn to instill into the hearts
of the Brown battlers a spirit that
did not leave until the final whistle.
Late in the third quarter Finn,
who had been held out for a minor
injury was sent in by Brown when
Redwood Falls had the ball on the
enemy 80 yard line. A play which
Melted few yards with Corbett TAX
ing the ball proceeded the sensational
run on the next call of signals. Finn
figured in a lateral pass, Corbett to
Finn and raced through the entire
Wal Shall Squou W give AsOu"OOu
Falls its first count. The point after
touchdown was missed.
Going into the last period the Mar
shall captain, desperate as he was,
did the only thing that would save
the day if such thing could be
done. He tried an assortment of
passes that, had the Brown crew
been asleep, victory for Marshall
would surely have been obtained.
Twice their diminutive quarter threw
passes which Melted many yards each
time and any number of times these
passes were knocked down by an
alert Redwood player.
The number of passes tried by
Marshall in those embarrassing NOM
ents in which they had chance to
make or break when Redwood Falls
was leading 60 were bound to cause
destruction some time or other. Fin
ally with minutes or perhaps time
could have been numbered in Sec
onds, Corbett leaped through crowd
of Marshall prospective pass receiv-
ers and snaked away through the
field for 25 yards and Redwood's Sec
ond touchdown. Again the point at
ter touchdown failed, showing Red
wood Falls only weak spot in their
victory.
From a standpoint of good hard
football the local team accomplished
wonders. 1t also uncovered a quart
erback in Corbett. With Finn on
the sidelines until he was called in to
make his sensational run, Corbett did
all the talking for Browns team, and
he did it we'll, so well that he may be
kept at that position giving Finn
more of a chance to make more of
his slightly runs.
Credit can only be given where it
is due and that includes the entire
team. The line held well, the ends
did wonderful work in breaking up
plays and snubbing passes. The back
field worked wonders, the best game
of good hard football by far this
year and certain help for the locals
for their Glencoe game at that city
next Friday afternoon.
Following the Glencoe tilt on Fri
day, the Redwood Falls team will be
guests of the school at the Minneso-
ta-Indiana game at Memorial Stad-
ium on Saturday.
