ANNUAL MESSAGE
OF
GOVERNOR C. K. DAVIS.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives':
The year just ended has been one of general prosperity to
our people. The financial embarrassments which have sus-
pended the industries of other States have affected our own
but little. The laborers have had employment. Failures
have been infrequent, and our merchants are in excellent
credit. The farmers have, as a general rule, secured abund-
ant crops. They are out of debt, and now hold unsold the
surplus of last year. For such blessings as these, it becomes
us lo return thanks to the Author of all blessings, not only by
the utterance of formal phrase, but with a devout sense of
our dependence on His mercies.
STATE AUPITOR.

ment of the financial transactions of the State, and the pres-
sent condition of the various funds, from which has been

GOVSBirOK^S MBSSAGE. 7
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The report of the Attorney General is herewith submitted.
The duties of that officer have been of exceptional difficulty
and importance.
In my last message attention was d^'rected to the failure of
the Southern Minnesota Railroad, to report all of its gross
earnings for the year 1867 and 1870, and the consequent
witholding from the State of the tax thereon. This road has
been for the past two years under the administration of a
Beceiver, appointed by the United States Circuit Court. By
my direction the Attorney General intervened on behalf of
the State in that Court, asking that the amount of the gross
earnings so unreported for these years be ascertained, and
that the Receiver be directed to pay the tax into the Treasury
of the State. The application was successful and the tax has
been paid.
I stated in my last message that the State has a claim
against the Winona and St. Peter Railroad Company for about
$61,498.22, for unpaid taxes which have accrued since 1865.
This claim is based upon a decision of the Supreme Court of
this State, holding to be unconstitutional the Act of March 4,
1865, which, among other things provides that, instead of
paying three per cent, upon its gross earnings, the Company
shall pay only one per cent, for the first three years after the
passage of that Act ; two per cent, for the next seven years,
and three per cent, thereafter. By resolution of the Senate
adopted Pebruray 2, 1874, the Attorney General was directed
to take such action as will ensure the collection of these un-
paid taxes at as early a day as practicable. A suit has been
brought and is at issue in the District Court for the county of
Ramsey. It will be tried as soon as reached upon the calen-
dar of that Court.
Certain transactions referred to in my last message, by
which one hundred thousand acres of land formerly owned by
the Sonthem Minnesota Railroad Company have become sub-
ject to taxation, although the obligation has been denied, and
Digitized by VjOOQIC
8 GOYBBKOB^S MBSSAaS.
payment of the tax evaded, have been made the subject of
suit by the State for the ccllection of the amount due. The
District Court rendered judgment in favor of the State. The
case was then transferred to the Supreme Court, where it has
been argued and now awaits decision.
The Attorney General has also complied with the joint
resolution passed by the Legislature of 1874, directing him
to bring suit against the First Division of the Saint Paul and
Pacific Railroad Company for the purpose of vacating its
charter on account of certain alleged abuses and usurpations.
This suit will be argued at the present term of the District
Court for the county of Ramsey.
The title of the State to the grounds occupied by the State
Prison has always been considered uncertain, owing to the
loss of unrecorded deeds. The Attorney General has been
able to supply these defects, and reports that the title of the
State has been made perfect.
At the last session of. the Legislature, a committee was
appointed for the purpose of investigating the affairs and
management of the office of State Auditor. This committee
was authorized to sit during the adjournment, and was
directed to make its final report to the Governor. This re-
port was filed with the Governor September 4, 1874, and with
the testimony taken by the committee is herewith transmitted.
The substance of the conclusions td which the committee
arrived was that the late State Auditor had received for tim-
ber cut on State lands 177,041.13 more than he had paid to
the State Treasurer ; that there had been such management
in other transactions, that the State had suffered further dam-
age in the sum of $12,518.04; that certain transactions with
the banking firm of P. M. Myers & Co. of New York, raise
a strong presumption that the State has an interest in them ;
and that the conduct of the examiners of the State lands had
been grossly corrupt. Such a showing as this, demanded the
interposition of the courts, and I therefore requested the
Attorney General to bring suit against the late Auditor, and
to otherwise assert in the courts all the rights of the State
Digitized by VjOOQIC
qoybbnob's hbssagb. ' 9
which an examination of the report and evidence should
bring to his attention. ,
The Attorney (Jeneral has brought suit against the late
Auditor to recover the sum of 194,641.69. It will be speeded
to its trial.
The complexity of the facts, and the importance of the
issues, persuaded the Attorney General that this is a case
where the public interests demand the employment of assis-
tant counsel. He accordingly, with my concurrence, secured
the services of the Hon. Wm. Lochren. The Attorney Gen-
eral states that a suitable appropriation will be necessary to
meet the expenses of procuring the attendance of the many
witnesses whom the State will be obliged to call. An appro-
priation for that purpose, and also to properly compensate
Mr. Lochren, is respectfully recommended.
EDUCATION.
The report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is
replete with information upon subjects connected with his
department. He is convinced of the importance of making
more efficient the means by which teachers who have not
had the benefit of training by the Normal Schools, may be
instructed in the most advanced educational methods. His
views upon this subject are worthy of your earnest considera-
tion. He favors the continuance of the present system
of supervision. He maintains that the plan of district
school management by a township board presents many
advantages over the mixed system which now prevails, but
it is very questionable whether the objections to this pbn,
which have- been made valid by long acquiescence in the
present mode of governing schools, the establishment of small
independent districts, and the large expenditures which the
taxpayers of those districts have made upon the assurance of
permanency in their powers of self-government, do not over-
weigh the inherent and abstract merits of any other scheme.
He is opposed to an enforced uniformity of text books. He^
Digitized by VjOOQIC
10 GOVBRNOB^S MBSSAGB.
attests the beneficent and increasing influence of the Normal
Schools, and in these views I entirely concur. Much of the
obloquy which has been expended upon these institutions has
been excited by undue expectations that their general benefits
ought to be more immediate. That this is not reasonable, is
apparent from the fact that, while in the year 1874, 6,482
teachers were employed in the common schools, the total en-
rollment in the Normal Schools, an enrollment doubtless
limited by their capacity, was 905. To this consideration is
to be added that their work is one of recent beginning, and
that sufficient time has not elapsed to enable their pupils to
pervade the entire State with their labor. These, figures,
however, show that these schools are rapidly advancing to a
point where their results will be practically commensurate
with the demand which they are intended to supply.
The report of the State Normal Board is also herewith
submitted. Its members have administered the business inter-
ests of these institutions with most commendable fidelity.
Appropriations are requested as follows: For current ex-
penses in addition to the $5,000 permanently appropriated
to each.
For Normal School at Winona, - - - $7,000
For Normal School at Mankato, - . - 6,000
For Normal School at St. Cloud, - - - 4,000
A special appropriation of between 11,100 and $1,200 is
also asked for the school at Mankato for reasons which are
stated in the report. The Board also recommends that the
claim against the State for heating apparatus for the building
at Winona be disposed of by the Legislature, and, if correct,
paid without farther delay. It has existed ever since 1871.
The grounds on which the Winona school building stands are
uninclosed and the Board recommends a small appropriation
in that behalf the amount of which is not stated.
I have been deeply interested in the workings of the Insti-
•tution for the education of the Deaf and Dumb, and of the
Digitized by VjOOQIC
GOYEBKOB'S MBS8AGE. 11
Blind. It gives me the greatest pleasure to bear, the testimony
of personal observation concerning the paternal care with
which the State has surrounded these children. The trustees
present very forcibly the fact that the buildings for the Deaf
and Dumb, which were designed to accommodate each fifty
pupils are now so inadequate that there are in the boys' building
nineteen more pupils than it was designed for, while there
are in the girls' building, thirty-five pupils. The ietscertainable
rate of increase demonstrates that by the end of this year
applicants for admission must be rejected for want of room#
The trustees ask for an appropriation of |20,000 with which
to commence the construction of the main building.
The report of the State Reform School is submitted for
your consideration. It exhibits in a satisfactory manner the
workings of this beneficent institution. The Board of Managers
request appropriations as follows : $10,000 for salaries, wages
of employees and keeping up repairs; $17,000 for general
current expenses. It is proper to remark for the credit of
the management that the estimate for expenses is $3,000 I^ss
than it was in 1&73.
The progress of the University during the year is exhibited •
in the report of the Board of Regents, to which your attention
18 respectfully solicited. . The Institution is rapidly surmount-
ing the obstacles, which have impeded, its preliminary efforts.
In my last message the importance of bringing the Univer-
sity and Common Schools into intimate and direct connection
was urged in general terms. In the performance of official
duties, my attention has been directed to this subject in a
practical manner as one of the members of the Board of Re-
gents, and the result has been a more perfect conviction that
the time has arrived for the adoption of a liberal policy io
this matter.
Our common school system has been so far perfected as to
leave little to be desired except improvement in matters of
detail. The people have built up this system. It is not the
result of any elaborate scheme of education. It is the tangi-
ble form in which is expressed the popular conviction that
Digitized by VjOOQIC
12 ooyebnor's messagb.
in the general diffusion of knowledge lies the strength of our
free institutions, and the hope of their perpetuity. The func-
tions of the coioimon schools have their limitations, however.
They are elementary in their character and teachings. They
drill and discipline the youth in essential studies and enable
them to enter active life with that equality of power which
equality of knowledge gives- Not the least valuable lesson
which they teach is that vast fields of knowledge lie beyond
them — knowledge which not only elevates and refines its
possessor, but which it is of the first importance to the State
that many should possess. It is the province of the Univer-
sity to impart this knowledge. The difficulty is that there are
no immediate relations between this institution and the com- .
mon school. The University should begin where the highest
grade of common school leaves off. This can be done only
by raising tlie grade of the latter and by instruction upon
those subjects which are necessary to the introduction of the
pupil to the university course.
These reflections have been caused by many complaints
which I have received during the past year that what is
taught in these schools does not fit the youth to partake of
the higher advantages for which they have such ardent de-
sires. The complainants say that there are no preparatory
schools in the State, and they observe, with entire justice,
that the State which affords both a university and a system of
common schools ought to connect them and make one har-
monious scheme of our educational interests. What is needed
now is that this desire may be gratified. This State has
an inexpressible interest in the complete and liberal education
of every boy and girl who desires it. Thomas Jefferson was
so impressed with this idea that he founded his interest in the
University of Virginia and based his plans for its success
almost solely upon a patriotic view of the benefits which the
education there to be received would confer upon the Com-
monwealth. And he was right. In modern times great
states have grown up out of great schools. Great states
have great universities.

goybrnob's mbssage. 19
The consideration of the best means to bring the common
sdiool into connection with the University involves questions
of considerable practical difficulty.
As the result of much reflection upon the subject, I am
inclined to think that a preparatory course of study to be
prescribed by the faculty of the University should be estab*
lished in those schools in different parts of the State, which
by reason of their location in leading towns and cities will
give them in educational matters the same prominence enjoyed
by the communities in which they are. It should be made a
condition of this enlargement of the functions of the schools,
that there be received into this department as many pupils as
may apply for admission from a certain specified district up
to such limits as will not embarrass the school in the per*
furmance of its ordinary duties. To make this measure effi-
cient, the salary of the preceptor who will have charge of this
department in each school, should be paid .wholly or in part
by the State. While this measure will involve expense, still
it need not be large. The experiment can be tried in say six
schools in leading cities throughout the State, thus giving to
those living near these places facilities for preparatory instruc*
tion which are now nowhere afforded. I am persuaded that
the people of the communities whose schools are thus pro*
posed to be enlarged in their ^ usefulness, will be willing to
have those schools adapted to the performance of this impor-
tant function.
The University is now upon an assured foundation. A little
fostering care is needed to cause it to take a leading position
in the course of a very few years, and I am in favor of liberal
subsidies to those forces of knowledge from which States
derive their power, to the end tjiai the University shall be
not only the rich man's privilege, but also the poor mau »
available right.
Better plans to effect the object proposed may be devised.
In calling your attention to this matter I have done what
commeDds itself to my judgment and feelings alike, and pass
from the subject with the recommendation that by conference
Digitized by VjOOQIC
14 GOYABNOB'd MSSSAGS.
with those who have given it tneir attention some means be
adopted to present in the educational scheme of oar State %q
unbroken continuity of schools from those where the first
elements of knowledge are transferred to infant minds to that
one which, as its name implies, '' takes all knowledge for its
province."
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.
The report of the Insurance Oommissioner is herewith
transmitted. It shows with great clearness the condition of
the companies doing business in this State. It is gratifying
to remark the improvement which has taken place in their
financial condition since the date of their last report.
The Commissioner animadverts with great force and with
entire justice upon the practice of effecting insurance by
companies which have not entitled themselves to transact
business in this State. The devices by which this evasion of
the policy of the law is accomplished are thoroughly exposed
in the report. These devices inflict injustica upon the com-
panies which do a legitimate business with our people, and
they defraud the State of her revenues. I recommend legis-
lation thai will check these evasive and unlawful practices.
The Commissioner recommends that the law by which the
companies are taxed upon their gross earnings be so amended
that the tax shall be laid only upon the excess of premium
receipts over losses paid. He supports this view by a prac-
tical illustration which adds force to this suggestion, and he
states that his views in this respect are substantially identi-
cal with the opinions of all commissioners and superintend-
ents of insurance.
ADJUTANT OENERAL.
In 1865 this State established a Claim Department for the
collection of military bounties, pensions and back pay, and
devolved its administration upon the Adjutant General. The
Digitized by VjOOQIC
GOYSKfiTOB'S MXSSAGIB. 16
report of that ofScer shows that during the past year 114,406
have been collected on these accounts, and that seven hundred
and ninety-six claims are now pending and unsettled.
STATE PBISON.
The report of the Inspectors of the State Prison accom-
panies this message. '
That the management of this institution for the past year
has been economical, seems to be proved by the fact that
the expense per capita is 128.28 less than it was in 1873. It
is also a gratifying fact that you will not be required to pro-
vide for any deficiencies, the board having confined expenses
strictly within the appropriations, and wisely refrained from
undertaking any improvements in cases where it was found
that they could not be made for the money given for the
specific purpose.
The inspectors estimate the expenses of the Prison for the
coming year, at $14,000 for salaries of officers and pay of
guards, and $26,000 for current expenses.
This report contains recommendations for an increase of
the cell room, it appearing clearly, that before this year ex-
pires, the present accommodations will be wholly inadequate.
Other improvements are advised. I^am unable to state with
precision, from the report, what sum is deemed by the inspec-
tors necessary for these purposes.
STATE BOABD OF HEALTH,
The report of the State Board of Health is presented for
your consideration. It will be seen from this paper that the
members of the Board have been engaged in duties of a
most commendable character.
The Board has undertaken in systematic, original investi-
gations of the causes directly affecting health, and of the
diseasee and death rate of the people of this State ; and, in
subordination to this undertaking, is giving attention to the

characteristics of the climate of MinneBota. It is also con-
sidering the important question of ventilating and warming
dwellings ; also the causes of accident from the use of kero-
sene, and the methods df prevention, concerning which the
report contains some valuable suggestions. Its members have
visited the different State Institutions, and the result of their
inspection is stated in their report.
The restrictions of this occasion preclude further detail of
the labors of these gentlemen. I commend their report to
your consideration, pausing only to remark that the State ia
most fortunate in obtaining the services ot these scientific
men in matters of very high public importance, without more
cost than is involved in the appropriation of $1,600; and I
recommend its renewal at this session.
HOSPITAL FOB THE INSANE.
The eighth annual report of the Board of Trustees and
Officers of the Minnesota Hospital for the Insane is herewith
transmitted.
The administration of this institution seems to have been
efficient, and as economical as the nature of its functiona
would permit.
The trustees ask for an appropriation of $47,600, which it
is estimated will complete the building according to the
original plan. They also request an appropriation of $6,600
to furnish the portion so to be completed, and $3,000 for
cars, machinery and fixtures for all the buildings.
The Superintendent, in his report to the Board, urges the
importance of lighting the permanent hospital building with
gas, basing bis request upon the ground of safety to this
property, which in its present condition is estimated to be
worth $452,000, exclusive of furniture and library. I do not
understand that this expense is included in the foregoing
estimates by the trustees. The views of the Superintendent
are extremely judicious. The safety of this property, ten-

anted as it is by persons of diseased intellect, should not be
imperilled by the use of inflammable oil.
The trustees recommend an appropriation of $87,500 for
cnrrent expenses, being for an average of 421 patients during
the year at $4 per week each. This estimate is less by fifty
cents per week for each patient than the estimate of last year.
The rednction is explained by the familiar fact that as the
number increases the cost of each diminishes.
SOLDIEBS' orphans' HOME.
The Trustees of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home submitted
the accompanying report showing the manner in which the
sacred duty of the State to the children of those who died
for the nation's life has been performed. $18,000 will be
necessary for current expenses for this year, a reduction of
$2fl00 from the amount required during the year just ended.
The trustees state that, from obvious reasons, this undertaking
of the State will be completed within four or five years, dur-
ing which time the expenses will annually decrease.
HISTOBICAL SOCIETY. '
The Historical Society is commended to your liberal con-
sideration. It is now in the twenty-fifth year of its existence.
It has been most successful in those important labors by
which it has collected its library, and rescued from oblivion
and fixed in enduring form invaluable facts pertaining to a
generation now passing away, whose works should not be left
for coDomemoration to those fleeting sources of information in
whose disappearance perish utterly the memorials of the
pioneers.

DILATOBY LEQISLATION.
The practice of postponing most of the important work of
general legislation until the last few days of the session ought
to be abandoned. To say nothing of the objections to this
. manner of doing business which inhere in the fact that under
such circumstances the legislature is compelled to act hastily,
lYithout full discussion, and that the success of deservinis
measures is often craftily implicated in measures which ought
not to succeed, the Governor is entitled to sufficient time
to consider the bills upon which he is to act. This he has
not under the practice which has hitherto prevailed. The
legislative work of sixty days is poured upon him during the
last ten days of the session. It is his duty to consider each
measure, — a duty which cannot always be properly performed
within such narrow limits of time. Many important acts
necessarily remain for his consideration after the adjourn-,
ment. In case of doubt, he is deprived of the counsel of the
members, and when those doubts result in disapproval of the
measure, the people are deprived of the exercise of that cor-
rective power which the Legislature possesses where he is
deemed to have erred as to the constitutionality or expediency
of the bills.
CENSUS.
By section 23 of article 4 of the constitution of Minnesota,
the Legislature is required to provide by law for the enume-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
goyebnob's message. 19
ration of the inhabitants of the State in the middle year of
each decade.
The object of this provision of the constitution is to ascer*
tain the basis of legislative apportionment which is required
to be made every five years on the basis of the United States
census and the State census alternately.
I may be permitted to suggest for your consideration
whether this duty, for which all the machinery of census
taking will be requisite, does not with propriety invite us to
obtain at the same time, by* the same ofiScers, the leading
industrial and vital statistics.
The additional cost will be a trifle, while the results will
demonstrate officially our marvelous development since the
census of 1870 was taken, and will enable us to present in an
authentic form to those contemplating emigration from other
countries and States the superior inducements of our own
State.
It will be an easy matter to prescribe in the statute which
you will pass on this subject the form of the schedule into
which the desired information can be distributively stated,
and at the same time to fix the cost of the undertaking.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
By an act of the Legislature approved March 5th, 1868, the
punishment for the crime of murder was spbversively changed.
The penalty of death was abolished as a general rule of law.
This abolition is subject, however, to the exception that, in
cases of murder in the first degree, the jury may determine
by their verdict that the convict shall suffer death.
I regard the principle of this innovation as radically un-
sound. The punishment which crime entails upon its perpe-
trator should not be uncertain. It should be explicitly
declared by the statutes, and not left to the caprice, to the
mistaken sympathy, or to the fear of responsibility of the
jurors.
Popular prejudice, or passion, or the negative influence of

an inefficient defense may consign one offender to the scaffold,
while his equal in crime, possessing, perhaps, the means of
commanding undeserved sympathy through his domestic rela-
tions or his own personal qualities, or aided to this sympathy
by a powerful defense, is sentenced to imprisonment for life,
leaving him the abiding hope of a pardon within* a few
years, after all interest in the case has passed away. For
prison statistics show that the average of life sentences is by
pardon made less than ten years. Even when there is no dis-
parity in the presentation of the* cases there remains the con*
sideration that the temper and modes of thought of the juries
may be different. All this leads to uncertainty of justice.
Several trials at the same term may exact the life of one
offender and remand another to the prison only, when, in the
strictest justice their positions should be reversed.
There is another consequence of this statute which reflects
discredit upon the administration of justice. In order to
inflict the extreme penalty of the law, a jury must by a verdict
so direct. The man who commits a brutal murder, who i»
caught red-handed in the act, for whose defense no profes-
sional ingenuity can devise a plan, either in fact or in sympa-
thy, can, in this hopeless condition of his case, — a conditioo
caused by its incontrovertible publicity and atrocity, plead
guilty ; the result of this plea is, that there can be no jury,
and consequently no verdict that he shall suffer death.
In another case the accused may have a defense, and unfor-
tunately be restricted in his means for presenting it, and he
is presented by the statute with the alternative of selecting
his own punishment by pleading guilty, or to undergo the
dreadful risk of taking his trial before a jury, whose action
regarding his own life he cannot foresee.
Irrespective of these defects in this statute, and its inequit-
able tendencies, there arises under it a question of far greater
moment. It is for the Legislature to consider whether the
guarantees which the law now affords to human life are suf-
ficiently absolute ? It cannot be denied that homicidal crime
has increased to a degree which has caused the law for its
Digitized by VjOOQIC
' auY£liNOK'S MASSAGE. 21
puniehmeDt to be subject to the severest popular criticism.
It is asked of what value is a law which no person seems to
fear? •
Yon will doubtless consider these questions of public justice
and public safety with a hearty disposition to make justice
something more than a name, and safety a reality.
SCHOOL FUND.
I desire to present in explicit form the considerations which
led me to advise in my last message the submission to the
people of a constitutional amendment which will place entirely
beyond the power of the Legislature, or any oflScer of the
Executive Department of the Government, the school fund,
now actually so great and which is destined to assume pro*
portions which will surely tempt cupidity to profligacy in its
management.
The condition in which this fund now is, is as follows : Up
to 1874 our Constitution was such, that by ihe express terms
of that instrument it was made an act of embezzelment to
deposit any of the State or school funds in banks. At the
election in the year 1873, this portion of the Constitution was
changed most materially, and us the organic law now is, the
Legislature has the undoubted power to prescribe by law in
what manner the State and school funds may be kept, trans-
ferred and disbursed. I am not now disposed to criticise this
Authority over the ordinary State funds. They are used in
-current expenses nearly as fast as they come into the treasury,
and this fact is a great protection against abuse of the power.
But the school fund is a permanent fund to be held and invested
in performance of the most sapred trust which can be devolved
upon us. It has hitherto been invested in securities whose
sufficiency is beyond question. But there is now no check
tipon the authority of the Legislature over it.
By enactment it may be made lawful to loan it to individu-
als, to banks, to school districts, or to invest it in securities by
i¥hich it ought not to be imperiled. In other States where
Digitized by VjOOQIC
22 GOYISRNOB'S HBSSAGE.
a similar anthority has existed, these funds have been made
the prey to legislative rapine incited by corrupt combinations
organized expressly and successfully for their spoliation. The
consequence has been to disinherit the children of the patri-
mony which wise legislation attempted to entail upon them.
There is no reason to hope that the time may never cornier
when this State will not repeat these warning acts of history.
The possession of power surely brings its abuse sometime,
and an abuse such as this which implies irretrievable ruin to
its subject, should not be permitted to remain a possibility.
The constitution prescribes a mode of investment of the
proceeds resulting from the sales of the internal improvement
lands, which place them beyond the reach of such influences.
I most ^earnestly recommend the adoption of a similar pro-
vision as to the school fund.
A bill proposing an amendment in this respect to the con-
stitution passed the House of Representatives last winter, but
was sacrificed in the Senate by the familiar exigencies of the
last night of the session.
THE FRONTIEB.
The condition of our people in several of the southwestern
counties has been the subject of earnest endeavor for its alle-
viation. In carrying out the measures which were adopted,
I have had the benefit of the counsel and assistance of Gen-
eral H. n. Sibley, whose exertions in this behalf I take this
opportunity of most gratefully acknowledging. The railroad
companies have acted with great liberality. You will find it
necessary to aid these districts by liberal appropriations. A
fuller statement of the ^tuation and of what will be needed
is reserved for a special communication which it is my inten-
tion to address to you very soon after the organization of th»
Legislature has been efiected.
INDIAN AFFAIBS.
I have complied with the requirements of a concurrent res-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
aOTABKOB'S MK8SAGB. 23
elation passed by the last Legislature, by which the Governor
was requested to make enquiry into the condition of the sev-
eral bands of Chippewa Indians in this State, and to recom-
mend such legislation as may be requisite or desirable for the
aid and encouragement of these Indians in adopting the
industries and habits of civiliamtion, with a view to their
remaining as inhabitants, and ultimately becoming citizens of
this State.
The importance of this duty seemed to demand the offices
of some person of experience with these people, cognizant
with their views and wishes, and of the history of the rela-
tions of the white people to them for many years. The ser-
vices of Mr. Charles Ruffee were fortunately secured , and he
was instructed to report to me upon the subject covered by
the resolution, after personal inquiry and examination. He
has performed those duties most thoroughly, as the report
which is herewith submitted will attest. It states with abund-
ance of detail the present condition of these people, their
grievances, and what causes have produced those grievances.
It indicates the remedies by contrasting the condition of the
Indians at White Earth, who have been the subjects of real
and intelligent attempts to bring them to the ways of civili-
zation, with the condition of the other bands who have been
left mercilessly to the influence of those processes by which
their natures are remitted to a deeper degradation and bar-
barism. I am required by the resolution to recommend leg-
islation in the premises. I do not understand that the State
has any power to legislate upon this subject. By judicial
decisions which have settle^ the question upon constitutional
foundations, the Indians are held to be domestic dependent
nations; and to this construction apply several provisions of
the federal constitution which prohibit the State from dealing
with these nations at all. Minnesota cannot treat with them.
Congress has power to " regulate commerce • • *
with the Indian tribes." It is suggested in the report that if
the State conld be intrusted with the management of the
Indians many of the evils which are so apparent and seem-

24 gk/v:bb^o&'s JktsssAais.
iagly 60 remediless in the present system coald be remedied*
But the constitutional provision to which I h^ve alluded
equally forbids the delegation of any such power by the United
States or its assumption by the State.
It was proposed many years ago to permit the State of
California to assume such relations to the Indians within itB
boundaries, but these objections were found to be insuperable.
I have no doubt that the earnest endeavors now being made
by the United States will in due time, result in remedying
the m^ost obnoxious difficulties which beset this question. The
problem is complex and unwieldly, and we must await its '
solution by the authority to which it has been exclusively
committed, rendering such assistance through our representa-
tives and senators in Ooogress as our experience and their
wisdom may suggest.
ST. VINCENT EXTENSION, &C.
In 1857 the United States granted to Minnesota a most
munificent quantity of lands to aid in the construction of rail-
roads. This endowment was increased in 1865. The lines
of these roads were prescribed in the act itself with prescient
knowledge of the destiny of a country that was then almost a
wilderness. The system thus devised, has been completed
with two important exceptions. Those exceptions are the line
between St. Cloud and St Vincent, and the line from Watab to
Brainerd, in all about 365 miles. A few miles of iron have
been laid south of Brainerd towards Watab. The road has
been fully constructed for about ^0 miles from St. Cloud to
Melrose, and the iron has been laid upon a segment of the
line between towns 138 and 153, of which there is no regular
operation. The whole line between Brainerd and Watab is
graded and ready for superstructure. The line between Mel-
rose and the British line is graded except about 40 miles. In
the summer 1872 the work of construction was suddenly
stopped, and has never been resumed. The people pf those
portions of the State to be benefited by these roads have
Digitized by VjOOQIC
GOYABNOB'S MSSSAGB. 25
waited patiently for the adjaatment of th^ private difficulties
by which the work has been frustrated. They have waited
in vain. The disputants hold each other obstinately at bay,
and in the meantime the prosperity of the region most direct-
ly concerned in these roads is checked.
It would be an irrelevant undertaking to enter here into a
discussion of the merits of this dispute. That question is
now taxing the ingenuity of lawyers and the wisdom of
courts, with no hope of its immediate solution. To these
proceedings the State is not a party ; and believing as I do,
that it has the right at this moment, to assert its paramount
title to these lands and to the franchises of the company which
has failed to build the road ; and that it has, as the result of
this right, plenary power to coerce the settlement of these
questions, and thereby, or by other means, such coercion
failing, to ensure the completion of the grand system of rail-
roads inaugurated with such wisdom so many years ago, I
earnestly urge that you take such legislative action as will
bring about these results.
The company now in default, has been liberally treated by
the State. It has had several extensions of the time within
which it was to construct the road. The last operative exten-
sion was made by the act of March 11, 1874. I say '^operative
extension " because the act of March 5, 1874, by which an
extension was offered, never became effectual, for the reason
that the company has not accepted the terms and conditions
thereof, as it was required by the express language of the
statute to do, within four months after the approval of the
act The time granted by the act of 1873 expired January.l,
1874.
The importance of these roads cannot be overstated.
The line from Watab to Brainerd will afford a direct connec-
tion for the Northern Pacific road with portions of this State,
and with railroads leading to tue seaboard, with which its
present connections are circuitous and expensive. The exten-
sion from St. Cloud to St. Vincent will traverse a region
second to none in the State for its varied resources — a region
4

26 goybbnob's mbssagb.
to which immigratipn has been arrested by the repeated dis-
appointmeDts which have been experienced concerniDg the
coDBtruction of this road, by the withdrawal of the railroad
lands and by doabling the price of the government lands
within the limits of the grant. «
Other considerations of great moment press for the ^solu-
tion of this question. The Canadian government has taken
direct action in furtherance of its policy to build a railroad
to the Pacific Ocean. It is believed that were the railroad
opened to St. Vincent it would be speedily extended to Fort
Garry by that government^ and that the construction of a
railroad thence westward would be commenced immediately.
This will not be possible until Fort Garry has the railroad
connection. The fertility and resources of tha^ imperial
domain which stretches from Lake Winnipeg to the base of
the Bocky Mountains, can be made powerful forces in the
development of the commerce of our own State.
In your legislation upon this subject you should consider
the claims of the foreign bondholders whose money htfs
brought these works to their present stage, in the spirit of
fair dealing which is nowhere so becoming as in a great State
dealing with private interests.
But if the representatives of these interests cannot or will
not give substantial assurances, something more tangible
than mere promises, upon which "^e have already relied too
often, that they will do this work without further delay, and
comply with the legislation by which this State last winter
endeavored to protect its own citizens, whose unrecompensed
labor and capital are now locked up in this inchoate enter-
prise, then it will be your duty to assert all the rights of the
State to the lands and franchises, and turn them over to any
agency which will give the like assurances, and which will
accept the provisions of the act of Congress approved June
22, 1874, which, as I am informed, have not as yet been
accepted by the company now in default.

WATER OOMMUNICATIOK.
The agitation of the question of cheap transportation has
cansed many of the best minds to turn for relief to the system
of water communication for which this country presents
such extraordnary natural advantages. Many schemes for
such improvements have been pressed upon the attention of
Congress, and will doubtless soon be dealt with in a practical
manner. The feasibility of connecting by canhl the Missis^
aippi or some of its tributaries with Lake Superior, has been
the subject of considerable discussion. It is not surprising,
in the absence of exact scientific information, that the most
diverse views should be entertained as to its practicability*
* The advocates of this improvement assert with entire confi-
dence that it is feasible. The importance of such connection
cannot be overestimated. A glance at the map demonstrates
it. It is of the greatest interest to the State that the question,
whether this connection is prohibited by any insurmountable
obstacles, should be definitely settled. I recommend therefore
that a survey be made for this purpose. I am informed by
engineers that it need not be elaborate or expensive. If it
is demonstrated thereby that such a canal can be constructed
at a moderate expense, we shall then, be enabled to give
urgent advocacy for its adoption in any general undertaking
into which the United States may enter in this respect.
DULUTH.
Among the many advantages with which nature has
endowed our State is the remarkable convergence of the
shores of Lake Superior at its western end, forming a harbor
of great extent and perfect safety. These advantages are
shared by the State of Wisconsin, and it is to be greatly
desired that each State shall enjoy them with the most perfect
amity. The efibrts of our people to utilize their harbor facili-*
ties, efforts which the terminus of two railroads in this State
at that point and the existence of the most important city on
Digitized by VjOOQIC
28 oovsBiroB's mbssaob.
that lake have rendered imperative, were impeded in their
inception by some embarrasements which were fairly and
legally surmounted.
A brief statement of facts is necessary to an understanding
of the present condition of this important interest.
In 1870 the city of Dulath began to excavate a ship canal
across Minnesota Point near its base. While this work was
in progress the United States commenced a suit in the federal
courts to restrain the prosecution of the improvement, on the
ground, among others, that such a canal when opened would
tend to deflect the current of the Saint Louis river from its
outlet and thereby injure the natural harbor. A temporary-
injunction was obtained and the matter then became a subject
of jiegotiation between the promoters of the improvement'
and the prpper authorities of the United States. These nego-
tiations resulted in an arrangement whereby the city was
permitted to go on and construct Xh^ canal upon giving a bond
in the penal sum of f 100,000, conditioned that the city should
build a dyke below the canal, from Rice's Point to Minnesota
Point. This bond was given, the dyke was built and the canal
completed. It is two hundred and fifty feet wide, and deep
enough to float any vessel on the lakes. Since it was con-
tructed nearly all of .the commercial business at the western
extremity of Lake Superior has been transacted at Duluth.
It gives safe ingress to the Bay of Superior which is dangerous
of access through its natural and tortuous outlet.
Since the adjustment of the issues between the United States
and the city, the collection district of Duluth has been estab-
lished and Duluth made its port of entry. Appropriations
for the improvement of its harbor have been made by Congress,
and expended.
The State of Wisiionsin, however, deems itself aggrieved
by these improvements, and has therefor recently exiiibited in
the Supreme Court of the United States its bill of complaint
against the city of Duluth and the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, in which the decree of that tribunal is prayed that
Digitized by VjOOQIC
« OOYBBNOB'S MK8SAGB. 29
the defendants be perpetually enjoined from keeping open or
maintaining a canal, and also required to fill it up.
The interest of the State of Minnesota in the subject of thi»
suit is so paramount, that I have detera)ined, at the request
of the common council of the city of Duluth, to act under the
authority conferred upon the Governor by joint resolution
approved January 23, 1873/ and to take such necessary steps
as will protect the interests of the State in the premises.
RAILROAD I^GISLATION.
In 1871 the Legislature enacted a statute entitled ''an act to
regulate the carrying of freight and passengers on all railroads '
in the State." This law was crude in its conception, harsh
towards the people in : some of its provisions which were
honestly intended for their benefit, unjust to some of the
weaker railroad companies, in that it did not consider that
the question of rates is justly subject to considerations respect*
ing the strength of the road to which they are applied. It
was also from similar causes a work of invidious favoritism in
some respects towards the strong companies, for it gave them
under certain conditions and in regard to certain classes of
freight a greater compensation than those companies had
themselves prescribed. This law broke down at once under
its own inherent imperfections, and its sole value consists in
the fact that it was the first assertion of the right of our Leg'
islatnre to protect the people against excessive tolls and unjust
discriminations, and that under it these questions of right
were submitted to the courts, whose decisions established the
existence of those rights over the companies who were defend*
ants.
In 1874 another act was passed, after much deliberation
and discussion, establishing .a Board of Railroad Commis^
si oners and requiring them to make a schedule of reasonable
maximum rates for each company by August 1, 1874. It
prohibited unjust discriminations, and prescribed equality of
charges for equal distances. Ancillary to these general prin-
ciples which the statute was designed to establish, it contained
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
so GOVABNOB'S MESSAGE.
other important provisions which it is not necessary here to
recapitulate.
I appointed as Commissioners, Ex-Governor Wm. R. Mar-
fihalL Gen'l A. J. Edgerton, and Hon. John J. Randall, with
the fullest sense of my own responsibility and with the view
of securing the services of citizens of undoubted standing,
who would perform the duties of their office with impartiality.
These gentlemen addressed themselves with great industry to
the administration of this statute, and the result of their
labors, together with such recommendations as their experi-
ence has suggested, are presented in their report. They state
that in the establishment of rates they proceeded solely upon
their conviction of what would be reasonable, after consider-
ing the views of the companies and the shippers, designing
to effect material savings to the people, and at the same time
Dot to oppressively reduce the revenues of the roads. They
aimed also to do away with the evils of discriminations, which
they consider the most important grievance of all Three-
fourths of the carrying business of our roads consists of the
transport ation of lumber and grain, and it is as to these that
reductions have been mainly effected. They state that there
has been a general and substantial compliance with the law
on the part of the companies, and that no well-founded com-
I^aint has been made of its violation.
They make several special recommendations upon points
whe^e they think amendments will be necessary.
Statutes are generally vindicated or condemened by their
results. This statute has resulted in the substantial abolition
of local discriminations. The tables which accompany this
report demonstrate that upon passenger fares, if the average
earnings estimated by the Commissioners are correct, reduc-
tions will in one year amount to $69,345. By the same pro-
cess of approximation they estimate that the saving in one
year from Aug. 1, 1874, upon the two articles of grain and
lumber will be 1230,000.
Upon the general question of the right of the State to pre-
vent abuses, and to give a remedy for their commission, my
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
GOVRBNOB's MB8SAGB. 31
own views are so well known through frequent expression,
that it is not necessary for me to reiterate them, I regard it as
practidhl^y settled that this right exists. This view is war-
ranted by the decision of nearly all the courts which have
passed upon the question, and now awaits final confirmation
by tbe Supreme Court of the United States, whose decisions •
upon principles which underlie this subject have placed that
court upon a line of logical consequences, which, it would
seem, must lead it to affirm the views of the subordinate
tribunals.
The right then existing, the question is merely, how shall
it be exercised?
That question is for the people themselves to determine
It is not a matter of party feeling. It cannot be circum-
scribed by party lines. It is a question of justice, in solving
which, it is your duty, doing no wrong, to see that the people
suffer no wrong.
CONCLUSION.
As I close this paper some considerations press almost
irresistibly for expression.
The formal and special details of legislative and executive
duty are generally well enough and easily performed. It is
not by the performance of such tasks that public men receive
their acquittance, and pass from the scene of trial to the
station of imperishable esteem.
These acts are the almost involuntary performance of the
functions of the body politic, and though vital, are unheeded
while being done, and forgotten when accomplished. They
are merely the normal incidents of the vigor and existence of
national life.
You will also be required to deal with questions of large
and general significance, which will test your integrity and
judgment alike, and to their consideration I doubt not you
will apply the highest rules of action. There seem to be
times in the history of all constitutional government's, when
Digitized by VjOOQIC
32 GOVAHIirOB'S MBSSAGB.
public confidence in public servants is abated and changed
into distrust. The cause is almost invariably found in unwise
or dishonest legislation. Private interests, seeking advance-
ment by public instrumentalities, become so powerful that the
functions of government act with them with diseased sympathy.
The idea that there is a different rule of official action from
that which should govern men in their private intercourse
' becomes dominant. The reactionary influences of such ideas
reach down and corrupt the popular mind and pervert the
popular judgment, until overthrown by the forces of reform

SECRBTARY OF STATE, 11
PAPER AND STATIONERY.
Three proposals were received in answer to the official
advertising, for furnishing the paper necessary for the
public priijting, and the stationery for use of the Legis-
lature and the various departments. Both contracts were
awarded to Averill, Russell & Carpenter, who were the
lowest bidders, as will appear from the detailed proposals
in the appendix.
The prices for the paper for printing are the lowest ever
obtained by the State, as follows:
Book paper, 45 lbs. per ream, sample marked "A," per
pound, 12f cents.
Sample marked " B," per pound, 12^ cents.
Flat papers, best quality, per pound, 24^ cents.
The contract for stationery is believed to be at equally
favorable rates, but to save space, the details are here
omitted.
The appropriation necessary for paper and stationery, for
the current year, is estimated at $10,000.
JOURNALS AND BILLS.
The new provisions of law regulating the enrollment of
bills, and the transcription of the journals, have produced
in a considerable degree the good results expected. The
journals of 1874 were recorded and filed quite early in the
year.
Although the enrolling clerks might have given more
and better instructions to their assistants, yet a percep-
tible improvement is apparent in their work upon the
whole.
BONDS OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
Under the operation of the Act of February 28th, 1874,
requiring the bonds of county officers to be filed in this
office, there have been received and filed the official bonds
of the present officers of most of the counties of the State.
The law does not explicitly say what should be done
Digitized by VjOOQIC
12 ANNUAL REPORT.
with bonds already executed, filed and recorded in the
several counties, but it seemed that the reason of the law
required the forwarding of at least the bonds of officers
then in service, and such bonds have been asked for from
this office, in cases where they have not been previously
sent.
PUBLIC PRINTING.
Proposals for doing the public printing were advertised
for, according to law, but none was received for any class
of work. Communications were sent us by the contract-
ors for the printing for some years past, stating that they
could not afford to undertake the work under the new law,
because, leaving the maximum rates for composition and
press work unremunerative, as they were before, it had re-
duced to a proportionately low rate the prices for the
various items of work included in binding.
The Printing Commissioners, recognizing the possible
justice of this statement, as regarded the second, third and
fourth classes, did not think it well founded as to the first
and fifth classes, because the changes by the law made almost
no difference in the settlement for work of those classes.
After endeavoring, without avail, to dispose of the con-
tracts in the manner prescribed by statute, the Commis-
sioners believed it their duty to let the printing in some
other way, if possible to do so, without excluding competi-
tion, and without undertaking that the State would pay
more than the maximum rates. Accordingly, a circular
was prepared and sent out to every book or job printing
establishment in the State and to thirty or forty of the
larger newspaper offices, showing the contract prices hith-
erto paid in each class, and the maximum rates under the
new law, and asking proposals, without regard to the max-
imum rates, promising to make contracts with the lowest
bidders whose proposals were not above the rates in the
law, and to report all bids above the legal rates to the
Legislature.
In reply to these circulars, one proposal for the printing
of the fifth class was received, and a contract has been
Digitized by VjOOQIC
SEGBETAB7 OF STATIC. 1^
executed in accordance therewith, at the highest legal
rates, Mr. J. K. Moore, of St. Peter, being the contractor,
A proposal was received from Mr. D. Ramaley for the first
class, the printing of bills and blanks for the Legislature,
which he subsequently modified so as to agree to do that
work according to the terms of the new law, provided he
could use type of the size formerly authorized. Under the
seeming necessity of the case, consent was given, and the
printing of the first class was provided for. But the
proposals for the remaining classes, comprising the jour-
nals, reports, and laws, so exceeded the legal rates that no
contract has been made for either class of work.
If the policy is to be maintained of letting the printing
to the lowest bidder, the maximum rates must be revised
and increased ; or authority must be given the commis-
sioners of printing to contract with the lowest bidder
without regard to fixed prices, but with power to reject
excessive or unreasonable bids.
The prices specified in the act of 1874 were fixed by the
Senate Committee on Printing, after an examination of the
contract prices at which the work of the State had actually
been done, under competition, for six years ; and they
would afiford a contractor for either class of printing a
larger amount than has been paid on the average for eight
years for a like amount of similar work. This fact induced
the belief that there would be a profit, to an office properly
stocked, in doing the public printing at the new prices.
But the act of 1874 required the work to be done upon
a new size of type. This necessitated an outlay by any
contractor, for new material, exceeding any possible profit
accruing in the single year during which his contract
would continue.
Further, the Superintendent of Printing was known not
to favor the making up of profits by indirection.
The contractor's work would begin the first of November ;
no payment could be made him until an appropriation
should be made by the Legislature, which did not convene
till January, and would hardly pass the appropriation within
four months of the beginning of his outlay.

Besides these certainties, there were contiRgencies eqaally
tending to influence printers not to bid. The appropriation
might be insuflScient, as it was two years since. The Super-
intendent might interpret the law differently from the con-
tractor. The construction of the Superintendent might
itself be overruled.
In the earlier years competition under the printing law
was brisk. The motive of a printer in bidding was not so
much the hope of making a profit for himself out of the
public printing, as the determination that his competitor,
if successful, should gain nothing but the prestige and his
trouble. But the printing houses capable of doing the
work no longer compete for business which does not offer
fair compensation, and the State must resolve either to
pay higher prices, or follow the example of California, which
has a State printing office, to go into operation the present
year.
To aid the Legislature in intelligently determining the
question of prices, I have procured the statistics of print-
ing from almost all the so-called Northern States, and all
the Southern States except those whose governments have
been supposed to be bad economic examples. An exam-
ination of these will convince one that Minnesota has
neither had an uncommon amount of printing done, nor
paid for it unusual prices.
I renew the recommendation made two years ago, that
the printing contracts be let for not less than two years.
This appears to be the usual rule in other States. It will
surely increase the number of bidders, and increase of com-
petition will reduce prices.
The prices allowed for binding should be sufficient com-
pensation for folding, collating, stabbing and stitching, as
well as covering and lettering. I am not sure that this was
not the purpose of the law of 1866, re-enacted in 1868, but
the custom has prevailed from the first of allowing charges
for folding and stitching everything which was folded and
stitched, whether there was a charge for binding or not.
This should be changed by the terms of the new law.
The use of the technical terms, token and quire, in
Digitized by VjOOQIC
SlSCRETAltt OJ^ STATE. 16
regard to press-work, wraps the subject in unnecessary
mystery. The price had better be specified at so much a
hundred impressions, in addition to a certain sum for
making ready each form. The labor of preparing a form
is as great for ten impressions as for a thousand, and after
that labor is paid for, the value of press- work is exactly
proportioned to the number of impressions taken.
From examination of the subject, I believe the following
prices to be fairly profitable, though not, perhaps, high
enough to induce the liveliest competition :
Composition^ 60 cents per 1,000 ems.
Press-work^ 25 cents per hundred impressions; three
times the price of a hundred impressions for making ready
each form.
Folding^ 8 cents per hundred sheets.
Collating^ StahJnng^ and Stitching^ $1.00 per hundred
copies.
Binding^ including all work subsequent to press- work :
In brochure covers, 8 pages, per hundred copies, f 1.50 ;
every additional 8 pages, a sixth of a dollar additional.
In quarter binding, 940 per hundred copies.
In half binding, $70 per hundred copies.
In full cloth, $55 per hundred copies.
In full sheep, law binding, $125 per hundred copies.
I recommend that these prices be made the maximum
rates, and that the form of proposals be that each bid-
der shall say for what per cent, less than the maximum
rates he will undertake to do the work of the class covered
by his bid.
The appropriation for public printing by the last Legis-
lature having proved insuflScient, the contractor justly
claims an appropriation for the amount of the unpaid bal-
ance. In determining the amount so due the same ques-
tion is involved which was considered by the expert
employed to measure the printing under the contract of
1872, who, in the poiht in question, set aside the judgment
of every commissioner or superintendent of printing since
1861 and of the experts employed by them, and reversed
Digitized by VjOOQIC
16 ANNUAL REPORT.
the nniform construction and practice of this department.
The question regards the binding in brochure covering, of
messages and reports making not more than one hundred
pages, and it turns upon the construction of the words
'^executive documents." Are the executive documents
for binding which in brochure covering the maximum
pri-ce is eight cents a copy, the volumes of collected re-
ports of executive officers and State institutions, or is each
report contained in said volume an "executive docu-
ment?"
Ordinarily speaking, the documents proceeding from the
executive officers of the State would be called executive
documents. Did the printing law use the term in that
ordinary sense, or in a restricted sense, applying to such
reports only when bound together, or in an enlarged sense
covering the reports of State institutions, also ?
The judgment of the printing commissioners has been
from the first, that the collective volume was not an exec-
utive document, but a " volume of executive documents,"
and each of the volumes contained in that volume was
singly an "executive document."
Section 28, of the Act of March 6, 1868, seems to com-
pel the acceptance of that construction.
It is as follows :
Sko. 28. At the same time the documents mentioned
in the two preceding sections are printed in pamphlet
form, there shall be printed on the same type, four hundred
copies of each document named in said two preceding sec-
tions, which shall be bound together in a volume and
styled " executive documents." The paging of said docu-
ments shall be consecutive. The Secretary of State shall
make out an index of said volume of executive docu-
ments, which he shall deliver to the printer, who shall
print the same at the close of said volume. There shall be
no charge for composition for printing the number of
copies of said executive documents necessary for the vol-
ume herein provided for, and none of them shall be
printed otherwise than is provided in this and the two pre-
ceding sections of this chapter.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
SECRETARY OP STATE. 17
Section 26, the first of '* the two preceding sections,"
provides for the printing in pamphlet form, and binding
in brochure covers, of the separate reports ; and section 27
makes similar provision for the Governor's message. Sec-
tion 28 says that these documents shall be bound ''in a
volume and styled executive documents."
The Secretary of State is required tb make an index to
the " volume of executive documents."
" There shall be no charge for composition for printing
the number of copies of said executive documents neces-
sary for the volume herein provided for." This plainly
recognizes the executive documents as different from, but
" necessary for," the volume. They are the several reports .
which are needed to make a volume of. The section con-
tinues : " And none of them [the executive documents]
shall be printed otherwise than is provided in this and the
two preceding sections."
The two preceding sections, then, according to the plain
language of section 28, contain provisions for the printing
of executive documents. The first of the two preceding
• sections reads: "There shall be printed in pamphlet form
and covered in brochure covers the following numbers of
each of the following documents, to-wit: Auditor of State's
report," etc., enumerating all the documents except the
Governor's message, which is the only document the print-
ing of which is provided for in the other of the two
sections.
Here, then, are the very documents about binding which
the question is now raised. They are the "executive
documents in brochure covers," expressly authorized and
explicitly descrijied as such.
It is proper to see if the same care is used in other parts
of the law to distinguish " executive documents " from
" the volume of executive documents."
The law relates to the distribution of the laws and public
documents by the Secretary of State, as well as to the
printing of them. The provisions relating to the distri-
bution are contained in sections 30 to 36, inclusive,
3
Digitized by VjOOQIC
18 AKNUAL REPOM.
Section 30 designates {he officers who shall be entitled to
a copy of each journal and " the volume of executive doc-
uments;'' and next, what institutions shall receive the
journals and ''the volume of executive documents."
Having thus, in the first section relating to distribution,
twice designated the " volume " as the publication to be
distributed by the Secretary, the subsequent sections speak
of it only as " documents," or " executive documents."
Less strictness was evidently required in this part of the
law, because the documents in brochure covers were all
printed for the Legislature and distributed by them ; the
volume being the only form in which the documents were
for distribution by the Secretary.
The earliest act in which these provisions were found
was approved March 7, 1861. This was re-enacted in 1866,
with the sections added which establish the contract
system. In that early act of 1861, by a misplacement that
is not unusual, a section which related to the printing, and
which therefore belonged earlier in the act, was placed
after the sections concerning the distribution. The sec-
tions concerning distribution were, in the act of 1861,
numbered 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. The misplaced section
concerning printing was then numbered 17. This section,
having been written just after the immediately preceding
sections, emplo3'^ed the words "executive documents" as
they were used in those sections, meaning the " volume of
executive documents."
In revising the law for the general statutes, this
misplaced section (17) was put where it belonged, and is
now section 12 ; but the language of the section was not
changed, and it still refers to the " t;{?Zt^me of executive
documents" by the words "executive documents."
But in all the sections of the law relating to the print-
ing and binding, with the single exception of this 12th
section, there is not one instance where the words "exec-
utive documents," or "public documents," sometimes
used, refer to the volume of documents bound together.
Hence from 1861 to this date the words "executive doc-
uments in brochure covers" have been understood to
■K. . Digitized by VjOOQIC
BECI^ETART OF STATfe. 19
mean the reports severally, and " the volume of executive
documents" to mean the reports collectively.
From 1861 to 1866 the separate reports were bylaw,
bound in brochure covers, and the volume of documents
was bound in quarter binding. By the act of February
26, 1866, the contract system was adopted, limited by
maximum rates. Rates were specified for binding execu-
tive documents in brochure and in half binding; and by
the same law the separate reports were to be bound in
brochure and the volume in half binding. Certainly the
words " executive documents in brochure covers" could
not refer to a volume of documents which by the law were
not to be in brochure covers but in half binding.
If these separate reports are to be understood as de-
scribed by the law as pamphlets and not executive docu-
ments, another objection arises. No maximum rates are
provided for binding pamphlets which exceed one hun-
dred pages. More than half of the volumes of the third
class are of that size.
The strongest argument against the established con-
struction lies in the fact that for some of the executive doc-
uments, containing but eight or ten pages, the maximum
of eight cents a copy for brochure covers is far more than
the work is worth. This is true ; but it must be remem-
bered that the law gives eight cents a copy as the maxi-
mum price, and a maximum should be, not a fair rate for
the least expensive work, but a remunerative price for the
most costly. The laws and journals are limited by the
same rate as the executive documents, and eight cents
per copy is not excessive for the large volumes in bro-
chure. Competition, it was thought, would, reduce the
price upon each class to the proper sum, the legal maxi-
mum being high enough for the dearest work.
I have discussed this question here, in justice to the
ofScer, now deceased. Colonel H. 0. Rogers, who was Su-
perintendent of Public Printing when the lowest bidder
system was adopted in 1866, and when the law was revised
in 1868, and who established the precedent which has

been constantly followed, and which I believe to be
right.
But although I believe the contract made in 1873, before
the new theory was broached, was legal and binding, yet
feeling that there was much good faith as well as much
violent feeling in the support of the opposite view* I have
refused to audit accounts under said contract for binding
any executive document, which was also a pamphlet not
exceeding 100 pages, for a greater sum than one dollar per
hundred copies.
Application was made to the Supreme Court, by the
contractor, for a writ commanding the Superintendent of
Printing to audit and approve the same at the contract
rates. Wishing the interests of the State to be represented
by counsel who believed my refusal to be right, I employed
lion. M. S. Wilkinson to defend on the merits of the case.
But the court refused to take jurisdiction of the cause.
Mr. Wilkinson's services remain to be paid for by appro-
priation. ♦
Two facts seem to me to raise an equity in favor of the
contractor's claim, even if it be thought to have no legal
foundation in the contract under the law. These are :
First — ^That his proposals were made in view of a uniform
and unquestioned construction of the law by the State's
officers for the settlement of printing claims.
Second — ^That while the prices for binding under his
contract may have afforded him more than a fair profit for
that workj the rate for composition produced as much less
than fair compensation for that service.
Mr. J. C- Wise, a practical printer with no extravagant
views of prices, gave me his opinion last winter that the
price for plain composition should be 55 or 60 cents per
thousand ems. At the lowest price, 55 cents, Mr. Wright,
the contractor, would have received $1,545 more
for composition under his contracts of 1872 than he was
in fact paid for it. It is but fair to suppose that he agreed
to do the work at that price because he knew that, accord-
ing to our construction of the law, it would be possible for

him to make up, on the binding, part of his deficit upon
composition.
PRINTING CLERK.
The growth of the printing work and the care of the pur-
chase, custody and distribution of the stationery, as well
as the paper for printing, makes the employment of an ad-
ditional clerk in this department an absolute necessity.
I think an act should be passed authorizing the Secretary
of State to appoint a Printing Clerk, who should be a com-
petent practical printer, whose duty it should be to see that
the printing is done not only in a workmanlike manner,
but with due regard to economy; to measure every job of
printing and endorse thereon the detailed cost; to have
charge, under the Secretary, of the paper for printing, and
see that the proper paper is used ; to have chargb of, and
issue the stationery of the State. He might also be given
the measurement of the State advertising. The cost of
paper, stationery, printing, distributing the laws and ad-
vertising, cannot well be less than $50,000 a year here-
after, and the duties here mentioned would involve as
much care and perplexity as attaches to any department
in the State government.
SPECIAL LAWS.
Now that a less number of the special laws are distrib-
uted gratuitiously than formerly, it seems likely that a
smaller edition will answer the demand. I think one
thousand will be suflSicient for all purposes under the
present law.
The four thousand copies of Booth's Township Manual,
authorized at the last session, have been furnished and
distributed according to law.
The publisher of Bissell's Minnesota Statutes at Large
filed in this office an agreement promising to furnish that
publication for use of State, or of the counties of the State,
for not more than ten dollars per set. The law required
no bond, nor did it afford any hint what should be a satis-

factory form of agreement. I have, therefore, expressed
DO formal satisfaction, but there is probably no reason to
doubt that the work will be obtainable, when wanted, at
that price.
Several thousand immigration pamphlets remain of
those prepared in 1872. They might be made useful at
this time by the preparation of a few pages of statistics of
the last two years to accompany them. If no other
expense for immigration may seem best, I think $400 for
the preparation of such statistics, for advertising and
postage, would enable this office, by the aid of the addi-
tional clerk whose employment is necessary for other
reasons, to put the remaining pamphlets where they will
do the most good. Respectfully submitted,
S. P. JENNISON,
Secretary of State.

The present Legislature is required by law to determine
the amount of State tax for the year 1875. I estimate the
necessary amount at $450,000. This includes the same
amounts levied last year for general revenue, interest, and
sinking fund, with a reduction of $50,000, or one-half of the
ufrual amount for support of State Institutions. This
-decrease is rendered possible by the increased receipts from
delinquent taxes and Railroad and Insurance Companies.
The amount of State taxes collected during the past year,
exceed^ the collections of any tormer year by more than
^100,000, being $13,705.32 more than the total amount of
State tax levied for 1873.
The receipts from railroad and insurance companies have
also increased moie than twenty- five per cent, over last
year, and equal in* amount more than one- half of the dis-
bursements of the State Institutions Fund. This source of
revenue, at the probable annual increase, will be sufficient
within five or six years to defray all the ordinary expenses
of the State government. The payments from the general
Digitized by VjOOQIC
24 ANNUAL RBPOaT.
revenue fund on account of ordinary expenses, are some-
what in excess of the previous year, caused in part by
increased legislative expenses, an increase of the numbei of^
Bailroad Commissioners, the creation of an additional ju-
dicial district, and the deficiencies of 1873. TUe balance^
of $30,416.95 to the credit of this fund, will be increased
after the first of January by the transfer of $24,133.63 from*
the State Interest Fund, being the balance that will remain
atter the payment of the interest due January first on the
8tate indebtedness. Before anything can be realized fromi
current collections of taxes for this fund, at least $100,000
will be required to meet the ordinary legislative, judicial,
and executive expenses, which may be provided for by the
temporary use of money belonging to the State Institutions
Fund, which has a balance on hand probably suflGicient to
afford the necessary accommodation to the revenue fond,
and at the same time meet the drafts for the monthly ex-
penses of the different institutions until it can be reimbursed
from collections of taxes.
It may be found advantageous to use the large balance
carried by the Institutions Fund in this way hereafter, as it
is not probable that the General Revenue Fund will ever
have an amount on hand sufficient to pay all the expenses ot
the first quarter of the year, including as they do the large
annual item of legislative expenses.
In view of the probable receipts from taxes hereafter, and
of the small amount accruing to the Sinking Fund, the an-
nual excess of the Interest Fund collections, after this year,
should be transferred to the Sinking Fund, to provide for
the redemption of the bonds issued under the different State
loans as ihey become due.
It may be better to consolidate the two funds and invest
for the Sinking Fund all that remains after paying the Stato^
interest each year.
The accumulations of the Sinking Fund for the last two
years were invested in bonds to the amount of $60,000»
which, with the balance of $5,000 remaining in the Treaa-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOR OF STATE. 25
ury, offset so muoh of the State debt, in effect reducing it to
$415,000.
The sales of school lands and collections on pine stump-
age accounts, during the year* have increased the Perma-
nent School Fund to over $3,000,000, making it the fourth
fund in magnitude in the Union, the largest fund being that
of Indiana, which aggregates over $8,500,000. The Illi-
nois fund, which exceeds $6,250,000, ranks next, and the
Iowa fund, exceeding $3,256,000, stands third on the list^
while the funds of Minnesota and Michigan are very nearly
equal. The fund of this State will ultimately amount to*
$10,000,000. ^
The annual increase of the Current School Fund which
is derived from the income of the permanent fund only about
equals the ratio of increase of persons in the State entitled
to share in its distribution and it is not probable that it wil^
ever much exceed the present average yearly rate of about
one dollar per scholar, as the increase of population will
without doubt keep pace with the increase ot the fund.
The State Constitution provides for distributing this fund
to the different townships throughout the State, in propor-
tion to the number of scholars in each township between
the ages ot five and twenty^one years, while the general school
law requires the apportionment of this mouey among the
school districts of each county, in proportion to the number
ol persons in the several districts between the ages of five
and twenty-one y^ears. Under this provision, which i&
clearly not in accordance with the constitutional require*
ment, thousands ot persons are annually enrolled to in^
crease the basis of apportionment, who are not scholars or
pupils in the schools. A strict compliance with the intent
of the constitution would be fair and equitable, and would
probably encourage the general patf onage and actual attend-
ance of the public schools.
The JPermnnent University Fund has been augmented
$42,475.78 during the year. A suggestion in the last
report of this department led to the passage of a law for
the re-imbursement of this fund, for the amount of the
4

^ ANNUAL BBPORT. .
proceeds of pine stumpage previously diverted from the
Permanent to the Current University Fund, under which
$12»000 per year is transferred from the State Institutions
Fund to the Permanent University Fund, which, with the
tmnual proceeds from sales of land and pine stumpage, will
add to it $50,000 per year. The amounts of Agricultural
College Lands, and University Lands proper, coustituting
the basis of this fund, are shown in the tabulated statements
of the Land Department. The sale ot all of these lands
and the conversion of every available resource, may ulti-
mately increase this fund to $1,000,000.
The Current University Fund from \f hich the expenses
of the University are defrayed, also received an annual ap-
propriation of $19,000 from the State Institutions Fund,
which with the regular receipts from interest on the Perma-
nent University Fund, will secure a sufficient income for the
support of this institution to insure its future prosper-
ity and assist in giving it a position above all other
educational institutions in the State, a rank to which it is
entitled as the supplement, and crowning glory of our public
school system.
The balance of $10,768.15 to the credit ot the Internal
Improvement Fund will be reduced to $5,481. 2S by the
payment of outstanding appropriations which are being
claimed from time to time upon completion of the bridges
designated in the several appropriations. This fund consists
of '< five per centum oi the net proceeds lof sales of all pub-
lic lands lying within the State'' which is annually paid by
the general government for the purpose of making public
roads and internal improvements as the legislature shall
direct according to the provisions of the enabling act,
which were that '< the State should not interfere with the
primar}' disposal of the soil within the same by the United
States, or with ^ny regulations Congress may dnd necessary
for securing the title in said soil to bona fide purchasers
thereof; and that no tax be imposed on lands belonging to
the United States, and that in no case shaU non-resident
proprietors be taxed higher than residents.** This extract,

though somewhat out of place in this connection, is intro-
duced here for the purpose of showing upon what considera-
tion we receive this liberal donation, and to call the attention
of county boards of equalization and the especial attention
of assessors throughout the State to the last clause, which
if common report is true, is in many cases flagrantly
violated*
The right of non-residents to purchase and hold lands
within our borders is here recognized ,by the general govern-
ment, and protection from unequal taxation guarantied them,
and however objectionable such investments may be to resi-
dent owners these non*resident lands cannot be assessed any
higher than the same quality of lands belonging to actual
residents, without a direct violation of this fundamental
provision of our State government, and of the provisions
of the general tax law under which every assessor is sworn
to value all property alike.
Heretofore this fund has been appropriated almost exclu-
sively for the erection of bridges principally in the frontier
counties.
It might be inferred from looking over the long li^t of
these appropriations that most of the streams crossed by
thoroughfares in the new counties have been properly bridged
which is probably the case, excepting, perhaps, in a few
localities* As soon as practicable this fund should be devoted
to some object that will generally benefit the whole State.
It might be used to good advantage by setting it apart as a
capitol building fund, and investing it in bonds until such
time as it may be needed for the erection of a State capitol.
The amount that would accumulate before a new building will
be required, together with the proceeds of the sale of the
Public Building Lands would go far towards making up the
amount necessary for such purpose, aud would relieve the
whole property of the State from taxation, to an equal
amount, for this purpose.
The Internal Improvement Land Fund, resulting from,
the sales of the 500,000 acres of land, donated to the Stafe
by the general government, by act of Congress, approved

disposition of it not approved by a majority vote of the
people at a general election, becomes literally a ^9rma7i«n/
Jund. The first sales of land were made in 1878, and the
first investment of the fimd in bonds was made during the
past year.
The interest of this fnnd will be compounded until some
disposition is made of the whole grant. If it is allowed to
accumulate until the lauds are all disposed of, which will
probably be within ten years, it may possibly amount ta
♦4,000,000 to $5,000,000.
The fund arisins^ from taxes, levied by various towns to-
pay interest on lands issued to aid in the construction of raiU
roads, is designated as Interest on Railroad Bonds. It was
established under the provisions of Chapter 19 of the General
Laws of 1871.
The Inebriate Asylum Fund was created by a law of 1873,
for the foundtttion and maintainance of an Asylum for Ine-
briates. It was only partially enforced that year.
The last legislature amended the law with the intention of
securing its geneaal enforcement, but its provisions have
been almost entirely di3regai*ded. Some further legislationin
reference to this matter is required for the purpose of mak-»
ing the law operative throughtout the State, and to provide
for Ihe disposition ot the fund, or for a transfer of the fund^
and to repeal the law under which it was established.
THE NEW TAX LAW.
In the last annual report of thia office, reference was
made to the necessity and demand tor a revision of our
lawa relating to the assessment and collections of taxes.
Yhe consideration of the matter by the legisl iture, re«
suited in the enactment of the new general tax law, which,
though imperfect in some respects, — in consequence of the
limited time for its* preparation, — in its general provittiona
and practical operation, seems to be efficient and satisfactory.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
Au i>rroB OF s'l ate. 29
Such amendments as are obviously necessary, and were
overlooked in the hasty work of last winter, and others
which have been suggested by the partial trial to which it
has been subjected, will be embodied in a bill and submitted
to the present legislature for consideration, and which if
adopted, will, it is believed, make our system o( taxation as
complete and effective, and at the same time more lenient
and less annoying to the tax payer, than that of any other
State.
In most other States the collection of taxes is a summary
business — payment at a certain time is compulsory^ and if
delayed, attended with vexatious and expensive proceed-
ings. Very soon after taxes become due, demand lor pay-
ment is made, and if not promptly met, it becomes the duty
of the collector to make the taxes upon both real and per-
gonal property by distraint and sale of goods and chattels.
Our mode of collection, as compared with the compulsory
system of other States, may be called the voluntary system.
All taxes levied for the year become due on the first day
of December, and may be paid at that time. Taxes upon
personal property may run until the first day of February
following before demand for payment can be made or collec-
tion can be enforced, while taxes upon real property may re-
main unpaid until the first day of June without penalty or ex-
pense, and no demand for pay mentis ever required, thud giving
the propeity owner ample time to make provision for his
taxes and relieving him from the annoyance and expense
incident to the compulsory process common in other States.
Taxes always have been, and probably ever will be, re-
garded as a burden, and no method of tax paying made easy
can be devised, yet perhaps our voluntary system, as above
•explained, more nearly approximates such a method than
Any other in existence. Certainly the law cannot be made
any more lenient or less stringent in its provisions without
impairing its force and destroying the prestige it has gained
during the brief period it has been in operation.
When it is understood that our tax law is perfected and
that It will be sustained by the courts, the delinquent
Digitized by VjOOQIC
30 ANNUAL RBFOBT
taxed of former years will be extinguished and the cur-
reDt taxes of each year will be promptly paid. With the
certainty of iull collections and no delinquencies to carry
over, only the amount of tax needed to meet actual expend
iture will be levied annually, which will reduce taxation ta
the lowest possible limit.
THE ABSESSMBNT OF 1874.
In providing for the enforcement of the new tax law,
under a strict construction of its provisions, it became
necessary to make an innovation upon the old policy of
levying a certain number ot mills State tax each year in ad-
vance of the assessment of property. This wps a bad
policy from the beginning, and it has had a pernicious in*
fluence upon private and official action in the valuation of
property for purposes of taxation. The fixed rate of State tax
has been in effect a bribe to the individual tax payer, to the*
assessor of each town, and to every county board of equali-
zation, to induce them to return their property at a low
estimate, thereby directly reducing the amount of their
taxes, while it has effectually prevented the State board of
equalization from performing their duty according to law,
and has compelled them to allow the assessment ot property
at one-third to one-half its value, under a law that required
all property to be assessed at its *Hrue and full value in
money.'*
The continuance of this system from year to year has
been demoralizing in the extreme.
The torms of law in the assessment of property have
been disregarded, oaths and affirn:ations to statements, false
upon their face, have been taken, and the general aim and
purpose has apparently been rather to/disregard and evade,
than to uphold and obey the law.
Of course all of the evils here enumerated are not to be
directly attributed to the manner of levying a State tax,
but it must be admitted that it has fostered and encouraged
them ; nor is it persumed that they can be entirely correct-*
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOR OF STATE. 31
ed under the new policy inaugurated the past year, which fixee^
the aggregate amount ot State tax to be, raised, leaving the
rate to be determined by the total aibount of the assess-
ment.
It can readily be seen, however, that this policy must have
directly the opppsite tendency of the old system, and that
it will effectually discourage and prevent many of the abusea
that haVe heretoiore been allowed.
As the rate ot taxation is decreased by the increase of the
assessed valuation, the direct inducement to the owner of
property to secure ^ low or false assessment is diminished,
and boards of equalization are left free to bring the assessed
valuation of all property up to the standard required by law.
The assessment of 1874 probably more nearly approximates
this valuation than any previous one ever made in the State.^
The amount of property returned for taxation by the differ*
ent counties to the State board of equalization was $162,512,-
497 against $112,298,1 25 the amount as equalized, of taxable
property in the State for 1873. This amount was increased
by the State board $54,914,714, making the total assessed
valuation lor 1874, $217,427,211, which fixed the rale of
State tax at two and thirty-three hundredth mills to raise
$500,000.00, the amount levied, or as accurately shown by
the abstract ot tax lists Appendix '' 6," $507,869.07 against
$561,469.33 produced by the five mill tax of 1873.
A comparison of the total amount of taxes levied in the
State for 1874 sbtiws $4,102,835.04 — an average rate of less
than one and nine-tenths per cent against $3,815,260.96, or
about three and one-third per cent for the year 1873.
With an increase of moie than $105,000,000 in the assessed
valuation of property in the State the aggregate taxation
has only increased $287,574.88, ot which more than $209,000
is caused by the increase of the two mill general school tax
and to which especial attention is directed elsewhere in thi&
repot t.
The advantages accruing to towns, cities and counties
and to the whole State from such a showing, are apparent
and can hardly be ovei estimated.

32 ^ ANNUAL KKPORT.
The value of the bonds of every municipality is determ-
ined to a great extent, by the amount of assessed taxable
property upon which they are based, and the value of all
classes of property is more or less affected by rates of taxa-
tion, while the settlement and consequent improvement and
prosperity of a community, or State, is always influenced
thereby.
Heretofore we have, by our false assessments, advertised
our State to the world as impoverished and tax-burdened,
thus diverting immigration to other localities, and discour-
aging the investment of capital within our borders.
We now make an exhibit of our resources which, al-
though considerably below the real value of our property,
approximates the total value of the taxable property of the
State, and will have a tendency to counteract the erroneous
impressions conveyed by our assessments of tormer years.
The action of the State Board of Equalization in increasing
the assessed valuation of the property of the State, as re-
turned by the county auditors from ten to one hundred and
fltty per cent., an average increase of thirty-three and one-
third per cent., unavoidably caused injustice in some in-
stances to individuals and localities. Whatever burdens
may have been thus imposed, must be charged to the asses-
sors, who so inexcusably disregarded the provisions of
law in the discharge of their duties, and to the different
county boards of equalization who failed to correct the un-
warrantable returns of their district assessors. It became
my duty to prescribe forms of blanks for the use of asses-
sors and other officers under the provisions of the new tax
law. Upon the blanks for assessors were printed extracts
from the law relating to and particularly defining their du-
ties, and direct and assist them in the performance thereof.
It was presumed that the special obligations and pen-
alities imposed upon them by the new law, when thus
•brought to their notice, would secure a strict observance of
its requirements, and that it would also induce property
owners to yield a ready compliance with its demands upon
Ihem. As the assessment proceeded, however, I became
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOR or 8TATB. 33
apprised that the old standard of valuation was being quite
generally followed to the entire ignoring of the law. I then
dressed a circular letter to the county boards of equalization
throughout the State, urging upon them the necessity of
correcting the work of* their assessors wherever they had
failed in making a proper return, and notifying them that
in case of their failure to raise the valuation of the
property of their county to the required standard, it would
have to l>e done by the State board. I am pieased to
state that in a few counties the assessors performed their
duties in strict accordance with the letter and spirit of the
law and from these and other counties where my suggestions
were regarded by the county boards of equalization the State
board was furnished with data upon which to base its action ;
and to the standard thus established by these leading counties
the valuation of all others was raided. It is to be hoped
that the State board ot equalization may never again be com-
pelled to take such action, and that hereafter all who are
concerned in the listing, or valuation of property for pur-
poses of taxation, whether as public officers, or private
citizens, may discharge their several obligations with a due
regard for the requirements of law.
THE TWO 1IIIX8 OBNBRAL SCHOOL TAX.
This tax was originally imposed under the requirements
of sec. 3, Art. 8 ot the State Constitution and before there
was any income from the permanent school fund.
During the past years it has been necessary to the support
of our common schools and has not been subject to any
serious objection, but under the increased valuation of the
new assessment it becomes extremely burdensome.
The rate should be reduced to one mill, and it would be
more just and equitable if it were imposed as a special tax
upon every school district instead of a general tax upon the
property of the county. The income of the school fund is
distributed among the school districts of the State accord-
ing to the number of scholars in each district, which is
6

fair and reasonable, but it ie not equitable to directly tax one
locality for the benefit of anotber, which is the result of the
two mill general school tax as it is now imposed. If the
law were amended so as to require the county auditor to
levy annually a special tax of one mill upon the property of
«ach school district in his county for the support of schools
the constitutional requirement would be fulfilled, and exact
justice would be done to all localities. The amendment
should be framed so as to control the distribution of this tax
for 1874 and previous years.
OOUNTT, TOWN AND SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES.
The increased assessment also requires a re-adjustment of
the maximum rates of taxation allowed to counties, towns
and school districts, as the rates now prescribed admit the
imposition of unnecessarily large amounts of taxes which
may become unjustly burdensome. The rates permitted un-
der the old law should be reduced at least one-half with perhaps
a provision for the benefit of exceptional localities, allowing
them under defined and guarded restrictions an increased
rate.
TAXATION OF RAILROAD LANDS.
All railroad lands are required to be listed for taxation
whenever they are sold, or corUracted to be aold^ and yet by
special provision of law the taxes are not a lien upon the
land in case of reversion to the company by forfeiture' of the
contract. Considerable amounts of taxes are lost to the
local and State funds each year in consequence of such forfeit-
ures and reversion. The railroad companies should be
required to provide for the payment of these taxes, or else
the interest of the purchaser in the lands should be assessed
as personal property, the same as improvements upon
homestead lands are now assessed. School, Univer-
sity, Internal Improvement and Agricultural College Lands
pur<;hased of the State are in the same situation in case of
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDrrOB OT STATB. 35
forfeiture on the part of the purchaser, the taxes have to be
canceled and consequently are lost.
TAXATION OF TELEOSAPH, EXPRESS AND TRANSFOBTATION
COMPANIES.
Bills were prepared and submitted to the last Legislature
providing for the taxation of Telegraph , and Express Com-
panies upon the amount of their gross receipts, the same as
thef are taxed in other States, and in the same manner as
Bailroad, and Insurance Companies are now taxed, but
through the active efforts of the companies, they were not
Under existing law telegraph companies are only required
to pay a nominal tax per mile upon the number of miles of
line in operation within the State, while the express com-
panies escape taxation entirely, excepting upon their per-
sonal property in the difierent towns where their oflSces are
located.
The various transportation, and car companies, that do an
extensive business in our State, escape taxation here, while '
they are all taxed in other States.
The annual income of the State may be considerably in-
creased by the proposed taxation of these corporations, and
there is no reason for their exemption from the payment of
taxes in Minnesota, while they are compelled to pay in our
neighboring States ; to say nothing of the injustice to rail-
road and insurance companies in allowing other and prob-
ably more prosperous corporations almost entire immunity
from taxation.
COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS TO THE STATE BEFORM SCHOOL.
I proposed to the last Legislature an amendment to Chap-
ter 121, of the General Laws of 1873, relating to county
indebtedness, for clothing, maintenance and instruction of
inmates of the Beform School, to require the Auditor of State
on receipt of a statement of the accounts against the several
Digitized by VjOOQIC
36 AKHUAL BBPOBT.
counties at the close of each year, to draw on the treasurers
of counties so indebted for the amount due in the same
manner as he is required to draw for other State hinds, and
to require the commissioners of each county to make the
necessary appropriation to meet such draft. Eighteen
counties were indebted to the State on this account ior tiie
year 1873t $119486.99, and during the year 1874 six counties
have been added to the list and the indebtedness has been
increased $14,426.48, making the total amount now due
from twenty-four counties, $25,912.47. I am informed that
several of the counties have voluntarily provided for the
settlement of their accounts as recommended by me under
date of September 25, 1874.
What has been done voluntarily by a few counties should
be immediately required ot them all, as they have ample
funds to meet such demands, and the burden of carrying them
should not be imposed upon the State as was done by the
ill advised act of 1873. The amendment suggested last year
received the favorable consideration of the Senate, but for
some reason failed in the House. I would again respectfully
recommend the enactment of the proposed amendment to
the law.
DEIimQUBNT TAXES.
Chapter 2 of the General Laws of 1874, known as the
delinquent tax law, was designed to enforce the payment of
taxes delinquent previous to 1873; of which there was due
the State, Dec. 2, 1873, $461,461.18. Of this amount
$102,378.45 has been received during the year, but as no
sales were made under the law previous to the annual
settlement, no definite statement of its results can now be
made.
Probably the March settlement will show quite large re-
ceipts of this class of taxes, from the sales in the different
counties. The last legislature authorized the abatement of
$10,000 of the St. Louis county State tax of 1873, for
special reasons ; this amount with the legal abatements and
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOB OP STATB. 37
allowances made to other counties, make the total amount
of abatements and cancellations of State tax dnring the
year,. $28,887.40.
In consequence of the increased laboi*8 of county auditors,
under the requirements of the two tax laws, many of them
have been unable to report the amount of abatements and
uncollectable taxes for which their counties are entitled to
credit ; consequently the showing of the amount of delin-
quent taxes is unsatisfactory and incomplete. It will be
accurately ascertained during the ensuing year.
ooLLEonoN Of railboad and other taxes.
The manner of paying railroad and other corporation
taxes into the State Treasury is not in accordance with the
system that controls most other transactions of that depart-
ment, under which the auditor's office directs all payments
into and all disbursements from the Treasury. To accom-
plish this, reports of all amounts due the State should be
made to this office, and the Treasurer should collect on the
Auditor's draft for the amount reported or found due.
I make this suggestion at the instance of the State Treas-
urer.

48 ANNUAL RKPORT.
SCHOOL LaNBB.
A large portion of the unappraised lands of Douglas county
were appraised the past year, also a part of the lands of
Mille Lacs and Todd counties in which no appraisals had
before been made. The annual sales were held during the
autumn with about the usual result in quantity sold and a
slight reduction in price per acre, as will be seen by reference
to the tabular statement of sales for the current year. Duri ag
the year 1870 selections of indemnity lands were made by
my predecessor in office and forwarded to the Department
of the interior, ior deficiencies in school lands by reason of
' fractional sections and townships, pre-emptions, Sioux Half
Breed, Winnebago, and Sioux Indian Reservations, and the
Fort Snelling Military reservation, amounting to 105,713
acres, under Act ot Congress approved May 20, 1826, Feb.
26, 1857 and Feb. 26, 1859. The Hon. Jos. S. Wilson,
then acting Commissioner of the General Land Office, while
admitting the right of the State to the other selections refused
to pass for approval the selections ior deficiency on account
of the Winnebugo Rerervation on the ground that *« the lands
were not public lands at the date of the Organic Aci^ and
that consequently the State obtained no interest whatever
to 16 and 36 sections therein.'* During the first year of my
official term I endeavored to secure an adjustment of these
selections but failed. This year the effort was renewed, and
the matter brought to a successful issue through the favorable
consideration and decisive action of the present Commis-*
sioner of the General Land Office, the Hon. S. S. Burdett.
The fcdiowing lists of lands were certified and approved to
the State Sept. 23, 1874, comprising all of the selections
named excepting 16,275 acres selected for defficiency from
natural causes, viz. :

Total, - - . - . 89,440.55
The State is entitled to other indemnity lands for which
selections will be made as soon as the amount of deficiencies
can be ascertained.
UNIYEBSITT AND AGBIOULTUBAL COLLEGE LANDS.
The selections lor University Lands proper are incom-
plete as shown by the tabular statement. Measures are
contemplated that will complete them during the ensuing
year. The Agricultural College Lands, the proceeds of which
enure to the University fund, have all been selected and the
selections approved, excepting for the last 320 acres which
it is expected will soon be adjusted. These are among the
most valuable of the State Lands and will all be sold within
a few years.
INTEBNAL IMPBOVEMBIVT LANDS.
Selections for the 500,000 acres comprising this grant
were made by my predecessor, but a final adjustment of the
selections was not secured until January 7, 1874, when the
complete lists were approved and certified to the State. In
March, however, the Governor was requested by the De-
partment of the Interior to relinquish 9,040 acres of these
lands, lying in Pope, Stevens and Wilkin counties, ap-
proved to the State by the Secretary of the Interior in 1869,
for the reason that they were within the ten mile limits of a
prior grant to the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. If the re-
quest had been preferred within a reasonable time after the *
selections were made, no particular objection could have
been urged against it, but five years ^ving elapsed since
they were approved, and other selections having been made
7

60 ANNUAL BBPOBT.
aad approved so late as the oommencement of the last year,
at which time an excess of several hundred acres was relin-
quished by the State and the whole matter finally adjusted,
it appears to be, under the circumstances, an unjust and
unreasonable demand, as it will subject the State to the ex-
pense of making other selections that can only be made
from lands of inferior quality, and if of the same quality, of
very much less value, because of the locality in which it
is possible to make such selections at this time. Lands
of equal value might have been selected by the State if
this request had been made within one or two years after
Abe approval of these selections. Now they are worth from
:$2Jk) to $5.00 per acre, while lands that can be obtained in
Jieu of them would not be worth more than $1.25 per acre.
The Governor has deferred action upon the matrer up to
Jbhis time.
• STATE SWAMP LANDS.
I3y Act of the Legislature approved February 13th, 1865,
the even numbered sections of Swamp lands to the amount
of 100,000 acres each, for the Hospital for the Insane, the
Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute, and the State Prison, and
75,000 acres for each of the three Normal Schools, were re-
quired to be set apart for the benefit of these Institutions.
The tabular statement of these lands shows 104,178.21-100
acres thus set apart, and 165,749.25 100 acres now subject to
formal transfer making 269,927.46-lOU acres that have al-
ready enured to the institutions mentioned under this grant.
Under previous grants the Lake Superior and Missis-
sippi Railroad Company will probably receive all of the valu-
able swamp lands east of the Mississippi river, and the St.
Paul and Chicago Railroad Company will be entitled to about
450,000 acres, which will be made up from the odd num«
' bered sections west of the Mississippi when the government
surveys are completed in the State, and the State Institutions
grant will be made good. In my last report I alluded to the
claim set up by the St. Paul and Chicago Railroad Company
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOR OP STATE, 61
for double the amount of land conveyed by its grant, un-
der an ingenious construction of the peculiar phraseology
of the law, which, if allowed, would take every acre of the
swamp lands of any value that will ever enure to the State.
The company also deny the right of the State to make dispo-
sition of any part of these lands untilits entire grantis satisfied,
and has commenced suit against the Trustees of the Hospital
for the Insane to determine this question.
If this case is decided in favor of the State, the claim for
double the amount of the grant will be unimportant as it
will be of but little value if the company is restricted to
odd numbered sections in selecting its lands. If, how-
ever, it is allowed to complete its selections before the
State Institutions can make, or secure any selection under
their grant, then the question of construction becomes a
very important one, involving the ownership of nearly half
a million acres of land, which if disposed of for the benefit
of the institutions to which the grant has been made would
ultimately produce an endowment fund, for each of the
Normal Schools adequate to their entire support, and pro-
duce an income for the charitable and reformatory institu-
tions, that would, practically, defray their annual expenses
and relieve the property of the State from an equal amount
of taxation for their support. There is great inquiry in ref-
erence to the purchase of these lands, and there is but little
doubt that most of them can he disposed ot at the same
minimum price as school and other State lands are sold.
I would respectfully suggest that provision be made
during the present session of the legislature for their apprai-
sal and sale, as it is quite probable that the right of the
State to dispose of them will be determined at an early day.
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE SALT SPRING LANDS.
The original grant covered 46,080 acres. Of this the
State was unable to avail itself of 11,520 acres, that amount
being situated outside the area surveyed by the general
government. This fact reduced the original available grant
to 34,560 acres.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
52 asvuaia bbpobt.
As the United States Government was tardy in certifying
the selected lands to the State, settlers were allowed to
occupy and receive patents for 69752 acres. About 1,600
acres were also previously covered by the terms of the act
granting swamp lands to the State. The remainder, 26,435
acres, have been certified to the State. Of this amount the
Belle Plaine Salt Company were granted 7,648 acres, on com-
plying with the acts ol the legislature. The rest of the
certified lands, amounting to 18,771 acres, are now available.
Of the uncertified portion of the original grant aggregat-
ing 19,872 acres, the various sums lost to the State were
as follows :
Situated outside of the surveyed portion, - 11,520
Patented to settlers, .... 6,752
Previously covered by swamp land grant, - 1,600
Total, . . - - . 19,872
By act of the legislature, approved March 10th, 1873,
these lands were transferred to the custody and control of
the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota. The
act also provides that they may be sold in such manner, or
in such amounts, consistent with the laws of the State of
Minnesota, as they may see fit, the proceeds being held in
trust by them, and only disbursed in accordance with the
law ordering a geological and natural history survey of the
State.
FUBLIO BUII4DING LANDS.
These lands consist of 6,395.12 acres, granted to the
State at the time of its aduiission into the Union, which
have been selected and certified to the State. They are sit-
uated iu Kandiyohi county.
SALE OF PINE STUMPAGE ON STATE LANDS.
No permits for cutting pine timber have been made during
Digitized by VjOOQIC
AUDITOR OF STATE. 58
the year» and no cutting upon lands not previouBly held by
permits, cut over or damaged by fire or windfall has been
permitted. There are several tracts that have been thus
damaged and some old cuttings that have more or less tim-
ber liable to deterioration and loss by decay, upon which
cutting has been allowed. A strict observance o^. the law
controlling this matter would not perhaps authorize this pro-
ceeding, but it was believed to be in accordance with the
spirit of the law and for the protection of the important
interests represented by this department and it is therefore
hoped that if not entirely approved it may not be severely
condemned. Payment of current and old stumpage accounts
have been slow in consequence of the great depression in
the lumber trade but nearly the average annual amount has
been received on this account.
All unpaid accounts are due from responsible parties and
are generally secured, and it is probable that all claims of
this kind will be settled during the ensuing year, most of
them would have been canceled the past year if the large
stocks of lumber on hand could have been disposed of at any
reasonable price, all of them might have been forcibly col-
lected, but such action would have caused great embarass-
ment and still greater depression in the lumber trade without
resulting in any benefit to the State.
The responsible duties imposed upon the Land Commis-
sioner in making these settlements and collections are ex-
tremely arduous and thankless, and under existing law
cannot be avoided. Alter the outstanding business is
closed up, and before future sales of stumpage are made, the
law should be amended requiring every purchaser to execute
a boud with sufficient security to the State conditioned upon
the payment to the State Treasurer of the amount found due
according to the terms of his permit, and upon the return
of the Surveyor of logs and lumber, require a draft from
(ihe State Auditor for the amount found due for collection by
the State Treasurer, the same as drafts are now drawn upon
county treasurers, and giving the State the same lien upon
the logs as at present, in addition to the bond mentioned*
Digitized by VjOOQIC
54 ANNUAL BBFOBT.
This would relieve the head of this department from all of
the perplexing duties now imposed upon him, and secure the
payment of all stumpage dues promptly and in the regular
way that moat other payments are made into the State
Treasury.
THE SALE OF STATE LANDS.
The constant demand for School and other State lands »
induces me to suggest the propriety of a modification of the
law prescribing the method of selling State lands, so as to
afford opportunity to purchase them at any time, after the
first or second regular sale in each county, and at the same
time to comply with the constitutional requirement of a
public sale.
This might be accomplished by furnishing the county audi-
tor with duplicate lists of lands for sale, authorizing him to
receive and record bids, at any time, or at stated periods to
be forwarded to this office at the end of each month, or ot
every quarter, for approval or rejection, and if accepted cer-
tificates to be forwarded to the county treasurer for the
purchaser, who should be required to deposit the amount
due on his purchase, at the time of recording his bid. This
method would secure the usual competition at the sales, and
would be inexpensive to the State.
The first sale in every county after an appraisal, and per-
haps the second one, should be held in the usual manner,
after which the method proposed might be adopted with such
additional provisions and safeguards as would secure a just
administration of the law and protect the interests of the
State. 1 have suggested thb policy, in response to the
numerous applications received at this office for the purchase
of these lands, and not with any desire to inaugurate an
innovation upon the established policy of this department ;
leaving the further consideration of this, and all other mat-
ters treated of in this report to be determined by the judg-
ment and wisdom of the legislature.

Auditor of State.

State of Minnesota^
Attobney General's Offige,
St. Paul, Dec. 1, 1874.
■•I
His Excellency/ f O. K. Davis, Oavemorqf Minnesota:
Sib. — ^In accordance with the duty imposed upon me by
statute, I herewith respectfully submit a statement of the
. actions prosecuted or defended by me on behalf of the State
during the past year, together with a tabular statement of
offenses reported to this office by the several County At-
torneys, together with the cost of prosecuting, and the
amount of fines and penalties collected.
The tabular statement is imperfect and consequently of

Two indictments for murder in the first degree were found
against Patrick Sullivan by the grand jury of Clay county
in May last. I was present by request ol the County
Attorney to assist in the prosecution. On motion of the
defendant's counsel, the cases were continued until a special
term in July. In the meantime the prisoner exhibited
symptoms of insanity. At the July term a jury was im-
panneled and a preliminary examination had, touching the
priBoner's competency to make a defense, and was found by
the jury not to be competent. On the 20th of August last,
he-was taken to the Asylum at SU Peter, where he still
remains.
The following civil cases, arising under the new tax law,
are now pending in the Supreme Court :

CIVIL ACTIONS PENDING IN DISTRICT COURTS.
The State vs. Henry Toung, et al; Sibley county. This
case was begun by my predecessor in this office. Suit was
brought upon the bond of Henry Young, treasurer of Sibley
county, to recover the amount due the State from Young as
treasurer of that county, as shown by the settlement sheets
transmitted to the State Auditor by the auditor of Sibley
county. Upon trial of the case, the State was unable to
show by competent and satisfactory proof any settlements
between the auditor and treasurer ol that county during
the year 1873, that being the period covered by the com-
plaint. The case was therefore discontinued, and another
suit brought at once upon the Treasurer's bond to recover
the amount collected and received by the defendant Young
as Treasurer of Sibley county, for the ^ State, and not ac-
counted for or paid over to the State authorities. In this
suit a motion was* made to set aside and dismiss the com-
plaint, on the ground that it did not conform to the sum-
mons. The motion was denied by the Court, and an appeal
taken to the Supreme Court, manifestly for delay, as there
was no merit in the motion.
The St. Paul & Chicago Railway Company vs. Charles
T. Brown et al. , Trustees of the Hospital for Insane^ and
Cushman K. Davis^ Governor. This action is now pend-

brought in accordance with the instru^^^tions of your Excel-

received by the defendant while Auditor of the State of
Minnesota, and n^ver accounted for, nor paid over to the
State. In view of the complicated character of the case,
the amount ot money involved and the great responsibility
attaching to the prosecution of such a case, I thought it pru-
dei^t, in fact indispensable, that I should have an associate
counsel, and accordingly retained the Hon. William Loch-
ren, of Minneapolis. Inasmuch as a groat many witnesses
will have to be subpoenaed on the part of the State, and
costs incurred to a large^amount, I would suggest that your
Excellency request the Legislature to make a suitable appro-
priation to meet these expenses, as well as to liberally com-
pensate the associate counsel. The preparation and trial of
this case will require months of continuous labor, and hence
the propriety of my request.
TITLE TO TH£ STATE FBI80N GROUNDS.
The Senate Committee on the State Prison at the last
session of the Legislature reported the title to the State
prison grounds to be in a very unsatisfactory condition, and
the Senate accordingly directed me to take the necessary
steps to perfect the title to the same. I first procured a
complete abstract of all the pieces within the enclosure and

found the apprehensions of the bommittee to be well
founded. With the assistance and co-operation of Judge
Butts, chairman of the Board of Inspectors, and A. M. Dodd,
the Eegister of Deeds of Washington count jr, several deeds
were procured, and the missing links in the chain of title
supplied. I am quite well assured that the title to the
grounds now occupied by the State is perfect. Legislation
was had at the last session having in view the enlargement
of the State prison grounds by the condemnation of a strip
on the north and west of the present grounds, but inasmuch
as the appropriation for that purpose was considered insuf-
ficient, it was thought advisable not to move in the matter.
SBTTLEBS ON LANDS CLAIMED BY THE N. P. B. B. CO,
t
I hereto append a communication from Mesers. Moore &
Eerr, Attorneys of this city which explains itself:
Eon. Oeo. P. Wilson^ Attorney General of Minnesota:
Sib — We have the honor to report, that in conjunction
with Messrs. Erwin & Pierce, of this city, we were, in the
month of April, 1874, employed by His Excellency the
Governor of Minnesota, under and pursuant to Chap. CVII
of the general laws ot 1874, to assist yourself as Attorney
General of the State, in determining and protecting the
rights and property of settlers in and to lands in this State
claimed adversely by the Northern Pacific Railroad Com-
pany under its land grant.
We took immediate action in the premises, and procured
from the United States Land offices at Detroit and Alex-
andria, Minnesota, lists of all the lands claimed adversely to
settlers by the said railroad company, date and character ot
settlement and of contest in respect thereto, and all the
facts appearing of record as to each tract contested.
We also procured from the general land office, at Wash-
ington, D. C, all the facts of record there, in respect to the
land so claimed, including the rulings of the department.
We then procured from the local land offices, having
jurisdiction over the territory covered by the land-grant of
said railroad company, maps, showing the different filings
2
Digitized by VjOOQIC
10 ANNUAL BBPOBT.
of the company y and the specifio tracts of land embraced in
each.
From these data we were enable to compute that there
were twenty-four pre-emption claims of land upon odd num-
bered sections, and four hundred and two claims upon even
sections, besides one cash entry of about one thousand acres,
which were made after the filng by said railroad company
of a plat showing the general route of the road, but before
said road was definitely located in the field, or the plat ot
such location filed.
The company denies that its grant became operative and
that lands covered thereby were withdrawn from market,
immediately upon the filing of the map or plat of the gen-
eral route of the road, to-wit : August 13th, 1870.
We, on the contrary, claim that the lands remained open
to settlement and pre-emption, and that no rights of the
company, under its charter, attached thereto, until the
definite location of the road upon the ground, and the filing
of the plat of such location, to-wit : November 21st, 1871.
Herein lies the whole controversy.
The Secretary of the Interior, on appeal from a ruling of
the Commissioner of the general land office, in favor of the
settlers, sustained the view of the railroad company, which
resulted in the cancellation of all the entries upon odd sec
tions, and in raising the price for all land upon even sections,
from $1.25 to $2.50 per acre.
The four hundred settlers upon these even sections, between
13th Aug., 1870, and 21st Nov., 1871, representing sixty
thousand acres of land, had paid the minimum price of $1.25
per acre and were each entitled to his patent, but the effect
of the ruliijg of the Secretary of the Interior, referred ro,
was to raise the price of all this land to $2.50 per acre,
dating back to the time when said map of the general route
of said railroad was filed, and as a consequence these four
hundred settlers are now required by the G-overnment to pay
in the aggregate about eighty thousand dollars in addition to
the bame amount already paid.
Their contest being directly with the Interior Department
of the Government, and not with the railroad company, they
are remidiless in the courts, (and we would here remark that
the bill introduced by our representatives in Congress, at
the last session, tor the benefit of settlers along the line of
this railroad, did not reach the case of these settlers, and
afforded them no lelief whatever. The law in question
simply applied to the few settlers on odd sections, whose
remedy was already ample in the courts.)

ATTOBNBT GBNSBAIi. 11
These settlers upon even sections comprise by far the largest
class, whose rights we were employed to protect. There is
DO tribunal in the land where these rights can be enforced,
but we propose to furnish them a complete and adequate
remedy, by estfiblishing, in the actions brought for settlers
on odd sections^ a principle which the Interior, and other
Departments of the Government, will be compelled to recog-
nize ; namely, that the rights of a railroad company to landf
under such a charter as that oj the Northern Pacific Company
do notf and cannot attach to any particular tract until the
line of the road is definitely located.
It we secure a decision from the highest tribunal in the
land, where these cases will doubtless go, that under this land
grants the lands were not vnthdrawn from market, until the
line was definitely located, the Departments of the Govern-
ment must, of course, recognize the same principle as
governing the entries of land' on even sections, within the
limits oJ the same grants and the ruling which requires
settlers on even sections, to pay the additional $1.25 per acre,
will accordingly be abrogated.
We have brought, in the United States Circuit Court, for
the District of Minnesota, an action, in which the heirs of
Edward Schreiber, deceased, non-residents, are plaintiffs, and
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company is defendant, wherein
is involved a cash entry ot about one thousand acres of land
made shortly after the filing of the map of general route,
and before there was any location of the line of the road,
which entry was cancelled by the Interior Department, and
a patent for the land issued to the railroad company.
This is perhaps the best test case we have, and was com-
menced for that purpose. It is now pending on demurrer
to the plaintiffs bill, and will be argued at the term of said
court, to be held this month.
Should a decision be rendered before the meeting of the
Legislature, we will make a supplemental report and em-
body the same.
We have also brought in the State Courts the following
actions, all of which are pendins: on demurrers to the com-
plaints, which will be argued, after the hearing in said case
in the U. S. Circuit Court, to wit :
In the Dist. Court of Becker County ; John O. French
vs. N. P. R. R. Co.
In the Dist. Court of Otter Tail County ; Frank Meyers

phases of the contest between settlers and said company,
that can arise. *

SOLDIERS BOUNTIBS AND PENSIONS.
For the information of many who are entitled to relief
from the government, but do not understand the modus
opernndi^ I append an oflScial copy of rules of the Pension
and Bounty Bureau's at Washington, D. C, trusting that it
may be the means of assisting many deserving soldiers,
their widows, or heirs in obtaining their dues from the
United States government which, for want of information,
they might lose.
ORieiNAL BOUNTIES.
Bounties will be invariably paid to any soldier discharged
for wounds received in the line of duty^ and to soldiers
duly enlisted and mustered into the United States service
between May 3d, 1861, and July 22d, 1861, and to no other
soldier except those who served two years and were hon-
orably discharged from the U. S. service. All men who
enlisted in old organizations from October 24th, 1863, to
April 1st, 1864, and received honorable discharges, are en-
titled to $300 bounty ; all men who enlisted in new organ-
izations from December 21st, 1868, to April 1st, 1864, $300
bounty ; all veterans^ enlisting as such prior to April 1st,
1864, are entitled to f400 bounty ; all men who enlisted
after the 18th day of July, 1864, for one year, and who
served full terms are entitled to $100 ; all men who en-
listed after July 18th, 1864, for two years, and served full
terms are entitled to $200 ; all men who enlisted after
July 18th, 1864, for three years, and served full terms are
entitled to 9300; all soldiers discharged by reason of
wounds received in battle or in the line of duty, and all
volunteers (excepting those enlisting after July 18th, 1864,)
discharged in consequence of the close of the war, are en-
titled to the same bounty as if they had served out their
full terms of service ; but if discharged for disability other
Digitized by VjOOQIC
ADJUTANT GENERAL, 7
than wounds, as heretofore stated, they are entitled to the
matured installment only^ but if the disability existed
prior to enlistment, all unpaid installments and the $25
advanced at enlistment, are forfeited. If honorably dis-
charged for any cause other than above enumerated, within
two years, they are entitled only to the matured install-
ments. This only relates to the six months' .men who en-
listed under the call of the President, in 1862, for 500,000
men.
There is no bounty allowable for enlistment in the Vet-
eran Reserve Corps. All the foregoing are paid to the
heirs of deceased soldiers in the following order, viz.:
widow, children, father, mother, brother and sisters.
I
^ ADDITIONAL BOUNTY.
The Equalization Act, passed July 28th, 1866, provides
that all who enlisted after April 16th, 1861, for a period of
not less than three years, served the term of their enlist-
ment, and were honorably discharged, and who have re-
ceived, or are entitled to receive under existing laws, $100
bounty and no more, and all enlisted for not less than
three years who have been honorably discharged on ac-
count of wounds received in line of duty, and the widow,
parents, or minor children, in the order heretofore named,
of any soldier who died in the service, or of disease or
wounds contracted while in the service, shall be paid an
additional bounty of $100.
The second section of this Act provides that men who
enlisted for a period of not less than two years, and who
have served two years, or been discharged on account of
wounds, shall be paid an additional bounty of ^50, to be
paid to the heirs in the same order as hereinbefore stated.

All persons who under like circumstances shall have lost
one hand and one foot, or been totally or permanently dis-
abled in the same, or otherwise so disabled as to be inca-
pacitated for performing any manual labor, but not so
much as to require personal aid and attendance, shall be
entitled to $24.00 per month, and all persons who «hall
have lost one hand, or one foot, or been permanently dis-

no widow, or in case of her death, without payment to her^
of any part of the pension hereinafter mentioned, her child
or children under sixteen years of age, shall be entitled to
receive the same pension as the husband or father would
have been entitled to had he been totally disabled, to com-
mence from the death of the husband or father, to continue
to the widow during her widowhood, and to his child or

Under the provisions of the Act of Congress, approved
March 8d, 1873, any person, not regularly mustered, but
serving temporarily with any volunteer or regular company
or acting with the militia of any State, who volunteered for
the time being to serve in any engagement against rebels
or Indians, and was disabled in consequence of said service,
shall, upon due proof in conformity with law, be placed
upon the pension rolls, and be entitled to receive the same
pension as though in actual service. Provided^ that no
claim for such service shall be allowed unless prosecuted
to a successful issue prior to the 4th day of July, 1 874.
This is important information to residents of Minnesota
having claims arising from or in cpnsequence of our late
Indian wars.
Widows of Revolutionary soldiers and sailors, and sold-
iers and sailors of the war of 1812 and their widows, are
entitled to pension simply by reason of the service, with-

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA.
To 3ts Excellency C. K. Davisj Governor of Minnesota :
Sir : — ^The Board of Trustees of Soldiers' Orphans' in com-
pliance with the statute, respectfully submit the following
report of their transactions during the fiscal year ending
November 30th, 1874.
The work of the Board is divided into twojdepartments
— (1) that of maintaining the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at
Winona, and — (2) that of afibrding temporary relief in ex-
treme cases, to children of deceased soldiers, residing in
various parts of the State.
The organization of the Orphans* Home being on a dif-
ferent plan from that of other State Institutions, it may be
well to explain it, although previous reports of this Board
have given full statements of the matter from time to time.
The law providing for the placing of the orphans under
charge of the Board, in a Soldiers' Orphans' Home limited
the expenditure for rent, food, clothing, education, medical
attendance, etc., to four dollars per week for each child.
In order that this restriction might be complied with it was
evidently necessary that local benevolence should supple-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
22 ANNUAL REPORT.
ment the benefactions of the State. If any other Institu-
tion of this or neighboring States has been able to complete-
ly and comfortably support and educate its inmates on
this allowance, even with the buildings furnished, rent free,
the fact has not yet been reported. Accordingly the chari-
table and patriotic citizens of Winona formed a local asso-
ciation and through its board of directors, composed in part
. of ladies, assumed the labor and responsibility of managing
the Home. A large and handsome building erected by
private enterprise, has been rented by this local board, the
rent being guaranteed by the State to the owner, for the
term of six years from December 1, 1872, by virtue of a
special enactment of the Legislature. This building is sup-
plied throughout with every convenience for the comfort
and accommodation of its inmates. The Treasurer of the lo-
cal board receives, from the State Board of Trustees, month-
ly rolls giving the name, each child, the allowance of four
dollars per week for each. This sum is expended in paying
rents, and wages of help, buying provisions, fuel, lights,
clothing, books, medicines and all necessary articles for the
children, all of whom attend the model or normal depart-
ments of the First State Normal School near which Institu-
tion the Home is located. Their maintenance, government
and education are conducted under the strict supervision
of the State Board of Trustees, which meets semi-annually
at Winona, and one member of which makes an inspection
without notice, of the Home and School, every month. It
is a grateful duty on the part of the State Board to acknow-
ledge the zeal, fidelity, intelligence and care with which
the arduous task imposed on the managers of the local board
is performed. The moral, physical and mental require-
ments of the Soldiers' Orphans are met with a sympathet-
ic care, which shows that the hearts of the managers are
enlisted in the work. Their religious training is remitted
to the churches and Sunday schools chosen for them by
their guardians, or their mothers if living. Their clothing
is neat, substantial, comfortable and always presentable.
Their food is simple but wholesome in quality and plentiful
in quantity. In cases of sickness they have the most skill-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 23
ful medical attendants. The discipline of the Home is ad-
mirable-^firm, yet kindly and parental ; all social refine-
ments and graces are studiously cultivated, and the child-
ren are credited throughout tlie community with being at
least equal in good copduct and good manners, to the aver-
age of the best trained families. Their education is pro-
gressing under the most favorable auspices, the model and
normal classes in which they ure placed aft'ording the very
best facilities for systematic and thorough culture in all
necessary branches, and the orphans standing above the
average in these classes. Thus, through the kind assistance
and under the sympathetic guidance, of the directors and
oflScers of the local board, the matron and assistant matron
of the Home, the surgeon of the Home, and the principal
and teachers of the Normal School, (and we may add,
through the co-operation of the children themselves, a ma-
jority of whom are now old^enough to appreciate the lii^er-
ality of the State, and to realize their obligations to make
the most of their advantages) these wards of the nation,
bequeathed to our care by fathers who died battling for the
nation's life, who had otherwise through neglect and pov-
erty been doomed in many^cases to lives of ignorance and
vice, are being trained for careers of usefulness, and being
developed into a refined, cultivated and virtuous manhood
and womanhood. It is a noble w^ork : and now that the
older inmates are being rapidly discharged, and placed in
situations where they will be self-sustaining, the end is
coming into view ; those who have been engaged in it from
the commencement, begin to see the fruit of their labors ;
and the State is beginning to reap the benefits in the in-
creased capacity and character of these future citizens, aside
from the satisfaction of having discharged a sacred duty,
which will repay its expenditures a hundred fold.
The reports of the Superintendent of the Home, the
Surgeon of the Home, and the Principal of the First State
Normal School, are herewith transmitted. They give in de-
tail the workings of the institution. From the report of
the Superintendent it will be seen that nineteen of the
orphans have been discharged during the past year. A

part of these have returned to their mothers, whose
changed circumstances have enabled them to resume their
support. The remainder have been placed in positions
where they have become nearly or quite self-sustaining,
and are at the same time acquiring a knowledge of some
useful avocation. It will also be seen that there have
been twenty admissions. These occurred, however, mostly
in the early part of the year, and many of them were cases
which had applied the previous year, and were awaiting
the completion of the building. Latterly the number of
applications has perceptibly diminished, and it may be
safely assumed that the turning point has been reached.
Henceforth the number of discharges will no doubt stead-
ily and increasingly exceed the number of admissions,
until the final closing of the institution, four or five years
hence.
The other branch of the work of the Board, as permitted
by law, that of outside relief, has been continued as in
previous j'^ears. Great care is taken that, the recipients of
this relief shall be worthy of it, and the disbursements are
made under the eye of a member of the Board for articles
of food and clothing actually furnished, and the money is
paid only to the merchants furnishing the goods on de-
tailed invoices, certified by the resident member and ap-
proved by the Executive Committee. The aggregate of
these disbursements will be found below.
In compliance with the Act, approved March 9th, 1874,
the Board has caused to be prepared a design for a certifi-
cate of discharge from the Home, which is now in the en-
graver's hands. Its cost will be small, but it will prove a
strong incentive to good conduct on the part of the in-
mates of the Institution, and will be treasured by them in
after years as a valued testimonial of their good conduct, and
serve as a constant reminder of their duty to the State.
The only other expenditure of the Board, that of travel-
ing expenses of its members incurred in the performance
of their oflScial duties, is also given below. Their services
are gratuitous, and it is believed that this expense bill is

not larger than is required for an efficient discharge of the
trust devolved upon them.
The following exhibit shows the amount and purposes of
the expenditures of the Board during thoi fiscal year end-
ing November 30th, 1874. (It will also be noticed that the
fiscal year of the Home, as embraced in the Report of the
Superintendent, ends September 30th, 1874) :

26 ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE HOME.
Winona, Minn., Sept. 30lh, 1874.
«
To the State Board of Trustees of Soldiers' Orphans,
Gentlemen : — At the close of another year of successful
operation, " The Soldiers' Orphans' Home of Minnesota,"
submits its Fourth Annual Report.
Last year we entered somewhat fully into the details of
the "Home" and its management, which being essentially
the same at this time need not be repeated.
The number of children in the institution, Sept. 30th,
1873, was eighty-five. There has since been admitted
twenty, making a total of one hundred and five, of whom
nineteen have been discharged, and one is absent without
leave, the present number being eighty-five. Of this num-
ber forty- two are boys and forty-three girls.
A few of those now here have nearly attained the age
limited by law for their maintenance in this institution,
and they, together with some others who will have become
capable of self-support, will probably leave before the
close of the present year, so that the number in the
"Home" will be somewhat reduced by a year from this
date. It is hardly to be expected that as many will enter
this year as last.
The children are in good health, and well provided for
in respect to all temporal, moral and educational needs.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 27
For particulars as to their health, and the sanitary condi-.
tion of the institution, I would respectfully refer you to
the accompanying report of Dr. J. B. McGaughey, the
faithful and very eflScient physician of the HoDae.
The children continue to receive instruction gratuitously,
or substantially so, in the several departments of the First
State Normal School, through the kindness and liberality
of whose officers, their education has thus far so favorably
advanced. They are now dispersed through all the de-
partments, from highest to lowest, of that institution, and
are making commendable progress. For particulars in
this respect I beg to refer you to the accompanying
report of our Superintendent of Instruction, Prof. W. F.
Phelps, to whom, with his valuable corps of assistants,
these little ones are greatly indebted.
Mrs. L. D. Eempton still presides as matron, and with
entire satisfaction, being both faithful to the welfare of the
children, and successful in their management. Mrs. M. A.
Glayhorn remains as assistant matron, and discharges well
her duties in that relation. The care, control, and man-
agement of a family of eighty -five children, of vy /ious ages,
temperaments and conditions, so that confusion and dis-
order do not follow, requires executive ability of a high
order.
The expenditures for the year, classified as nearly as
may be, are as follows :
Food ..... $3,204.49
Dry goods, hats, shoes, &c., - - 2,990.55
Employees .... 2,497.13

There are al»o probably about fifteen hundred dollars of
accountB outstanding against the Home, which we are pre-
pared to meet as fast as they are presented and audited. The
above does not include any moneys paid through the Home
Association for children residing with widowed mothers.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
O. B. GOULD,
Superintendent of the Home, and Secretary of the
Local Board.

REPORT OF THE
SURGEON OF THE HOME.
2o the President and Board of Directors of the Soldiers^
Orphans^ Home^ at Winona^ Minn.:
During the year that has jnst closed sickness has been
almost unknown to the inmates of this institution. Within
the period embraced in this report there has not been a
single case of serious acute disease in the Home, and but
little of any kind with the exception of an epidemic
of acute opthalmia of a contagious nature which appeared
early in November, 1873, since which time there have
been thirty-seven cases — the large majority of which have
recovered — the few remaining are now convalescent.
There is every reason to believe that trouble from this
source is no longer to be apprehended.
During the month of March, 1874, there were a few cases
of measles, all of which were mild in form, some requiring
no medical attention.
The sanitary condition of the Home has been almost un-
exceptionable. The food provided has been abundant,
substantial and uniformly well prepared.
The children are well clad in every respect — by this I
mean not only comfortably, but also neatly.
Much attention is given to cleanliness, not only of
clothing and persons, but of the building and its surround-
ings.
I am, very respectfully,
Tour obedient servant,

At the present time there are eight of these wards of
this State in the Normal Department, making special pre-
paration for the work of teaching, with the expectation of
engaging in that occupation. Several of the older girls
design to leave the Home in the spring for this purpose, in
the hope of being able to return and complete the course
in the school at their own expense. Two of the orphans
have graduated at the Normal School, and have taught
schools in the country with entire success. One of them
is now permanently employed in the public schools of
Winona, and the other has entered upon a course of study
at the State University.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 31
The branches pursued by the children in the different
^ades are the same as heretofore reported, and therefore
do not require special mention in this communication. As
a class, they have made excellent progress in their studies,
while their morals and manners have continued to receive
the most assiduous attention.* The discipline has been in
no respect relaxed, but is administered, as heretofore, with
a firm and steady hand. The fruits of it are more and more
manifest in the good deportment, the manly and womanly
bearing of the children at all times. They are required to
march in regular order to and from school daily, under the
command of officers selected from their own number.
The experience of the past year has served to confirm the
conviction that under no ordinary circumstances could the
soldiers' orphans have been more kindly or generously treat-
ed, nor could they have been surrounded with influences
more conducive to their physical, intellectual and "moral
well-being. That their future lives may justify the pater-
nal care with which their interests have been protected,
will certainly be the ardent wish of every good citizen.
May the kindly influences which have so long surrounded
them prove to be seed sown on good ground, which shall,
in the coming years, spring up and bring forth fruit a hun-
dred-fold.
Respectfully submitted,

Superintendent of Instruction Soldiers'
Orphans' Home.

Gentlemen : — ^In compliance with the statute, I have the
honor to submit the following report.
On the completion of the new library room in the exten-
•sion to the Capitol, I moved the books, &c., into it, and
although the room is decidedly too small for a library
which increases as rapidly as ours does, yet, so far as I can
learn, the judges and members of the bar are well satisfied
with the change.
The last Legislature appropriated $2,000 for the increase
of the library.
In addition, $54 have been received from sale of dupli-
•cates, under the provisions of the law.
Most of the total amount, $2,054, thus applicable has
been expended in the purchase of books, as follows :

INSPECTORS' REPORT.
Office Warden State PiasoN, )
Stillwater, December 15, 1874. >
To jERs Ehccdlencyy O. K. Davis ^ Oovemor of Minnesota:
We herewith submit our report of the condition of the
State Prison for the fiscal year ending November SOth, 1874.
The number of conyicts in the prison at the date of our
last report was 103.
The whole number received during the year was 93.
Whole number discharged dunng the same period was
68p and the whole number in prison at this date is 134.
Average number during the year 112 65-100, being an
increase during the year of 31.
A corresponding increase during the coming year would
more than fill the cells, there being now only 18 unoccu-
pied ; hence it is imperatively necessary that more cell room
be provided.
The Warden's report hereto attached gives in detail the
expenses and earnings of the prison.
The expenses have been .... $36,880 36
The earnings 19,261 49
Excess of expenses over earnings, -* - $17,618 87
Or $158 27-100 per capita. This is a reduction of the per
capita cost of 1873 of $28.28. A still greater reduction
18 shown by leaving out of the expense account certain
amounts paid convicts for good time; money paid them on

their discharge, and for discbaige suits ; expenses of inves*
tigating charges against Warden, &c., which do not legiti-
mately enter into the ordinary running expenses of the
prison. They are as follows :
Freedom suite, . - . .
$1,180 00
Repairs, ....
830 73
Good conduct paid coDvicts,
707 85
Paid dischai^ed convicts,
580 00
Expenses of investigation,
194 00
Expenses ot recapturing convicts.
139 76
$3,682 34
Which, being deducted, leaves the actual net cost per
capita for board and clothing, and medical attendance and
officers' salaries to be $124.15.
The law allowing convicts pay for the good time earned
by them while in prison has a marked effect upon them.
It tends to keep them from becoming despondent, and helps
to preserve their self-respect. They feel that they can still
do something to aid their iamilies or themselves, although
shut out trom the world. And above all, it is a great aux-
iliary to the good order and discipline of the prison.
The last Legislature made the following appropriations
for improvements and additions to prison, to- wit:
For building stockade, - . • $ 1,200
Condemnation of land, - - - - 2,000
Enlarging shops, .... 5,000
Building cistern, ... - 800
Moving Deputy Warden's house, - - 500
iron floor in cell room, • - - • 500
Total, $10,000
Of the above amounts only those for building cistern and
shop and $137.85 of the amount appropriated for moving
Digitized by VjOOQIC
INSPECTORS OF STATE PBISOK. 6
Deputy Warden's house have been expended, leaving the
balance in the treasury.
The moneys expended have been laid out strictly in ac-
cordance with the law appropriating the same, and no defi-
ciencies are to be provided for.
The shop nnd cistern are fully completed, including steam
pipes for heating the shop with steam within the appropria-
tion, including pay for the plans and specifications of the
architect and the superintendence of the work.
The Deputy Warden's house was removed for $137.35,
leaving the balance, $362.65, appropriated for that purpose
unexpended.
No part of the amounts appropriated for the other pur-
poses above named has been expended, for the reason that
we found it impossible to accomplish the objects contempla*
Ced by said appropriations with the limited amounts provi-
ded fgr such purposes.
We had estimates made for building an iron floor in the
cell room, and found the amount inadequate to build it.
The amount is sufficient to build a wood or stone floor,
which would answer the purpose equally well, and we
recommend that permission be giyen us to use the amount
for such purpose.
It is estimated that it will require $5,000 more for the
purpose of condemning and paying for the lands necessary
to enlarge the prison grounds to the desired capacity, hence
nothing has been done in this direction. And the same
may be said as to the amount for stockade.
In this connection we call attention to the joint report of
B. J. Chewning, chairman of the Senate committee, and
Stephen Miller, chairman of the House Special committee
on Prison in 1872. The committee say ** That they have
** made a thorough examination of the prison building, and
** after securing the surveys, plats, and estimates of a com-
** petent engineer, have came to the following conclusions :
** That the State has expended $123,500 in the erection
** of a suitable and convenient building for the accommoda-
** tioD of 158 convicts, which makes an institution altogether
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
6 annual' bdpobt.
*< too valuable to be abandoned, inasmuch sa 52 more oell»
*< can be erected at a small comparative expense under the
*^ present roofs, making capacity for 210 convicts."
The committee further say, ** We think the proposed ex*
*^ tension of grounds will accomodate as large a number of
** convicts as should ever be confined in any one locality,
** and when the limit is reached, it will be wise prudence
** and economy to locate another prison in some other por-
<* tion ot the State.
«• We find the grounds cramped and inadequate for the
** successful management of the number of convicts that
** can be cared for in the buildings already erected, and by
*^ adding to the grounds the proposed extension, the yard
** will then accommodate as many persons as your committee
<< would advise confined in this or any other prison.
** We also find the present enclosure surrounded by a
<* rickety board fence, presenting a standing temptation for
** continual plotting for escape, and in case of fire, it would
'< be impossible for the officers to prevent a general escape
** of inmates. To fail to provide for the remedy of this
*^ evil by a substantial stone wall, we regard as criminally
«* negligent on the part of the Legislature." ♦ ♦ ♦
** The estimates of Chief Engineer Sheldon for walling in the
** grounds, including the proposed extensions of 2 and 7-100
** acres, together with the necessary grading and sewerage,
" is $74,439."
We have requested drawings to be made by A. M. Bad-
cliff, a competent architect, showing the desired improve*
ments and extensions of the prison, as it will appear when
finally completed, together with estimates of the cost of the
same, which will be presented to the Legislature, and we
earnestly request an appropriation for such purpose in ac-
cordance with said estimates, and also to pay said architect
for his drawings, (or permission to pay the same out of
some other fund.)
In the plans drawn by the architect for the addition to the
prison provision is made for a place for the Deputy Wardea
and his family to live inside of the yard. This is the
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
INSFE0TOB8 OP STATB PBISON. 7
proper place for his residence, and we hope the Legislature
will finally settle the question as to the right to have or not
to have a house provided for him.
A bath room is much needed. The only means of wash-
ing the convicts is by the use of a bucket.
The prison should be better supplied with means for
keeping the convicts cleanly. The well in the yard has
been condemned by the State Board of Health and by one
prison physician. There is no water to be had from a well
that would be free from surface drainage, hence it becomes
an important question to supply this prime necessity.
There is a very large flowing spring just outside the prison
walls and within the proposed extension of the grounds
which should be utilized for this purpose. It comes out of
the bluffs at an elevation high enough to carry water to any
part of the priscm buildings. A reservoir or large cistern
should be built to catch this water and then conduct it by
pipes to any desired point. This would furnish a never
failing supply of pure water, and we recommend that an
appropriation be made for this purpose.
A hose tower is needed for drying the hose owned by the
State. This can be built for a trifling expense, and we re<
commend that it be done. The plans and estimates here-
with submitted will show more fully what is desired in re-
gard to most of the improvements suggested. It was im-
possible for us to determine without these estimates what
the improvements would cost, hence we have caused them
to be made to give the Legislature a more intelligent idea
than could otherwise be obtained.
We would again call attention to the propriety of heating
the cell building with steam. This should be done as a
matter of safety against fire. The cells are surrounded
with wooden corridors, which are likely to take fire from
the stoves or stove-pipes. These corridors should be
I < moved and replaced with iron ones, or alsafer means of
hcuting provided.
v\'e call attention to the accompanying proposition of the
oonirtctors for heating the cell building with steam. It is
Digitized by VjOOQIC
8 JunruAii BUPOBT.
evident that it can be furniahed by them, with their facilitiee,
much cheaper than the State could do it Id any other way.
There should be a contingent fund provided for certain
expenses, such as repairs, and for the expenses incurred.m
the pursuit and recapture of escaped convicts. The law
compels the pursuit of convicts who escape, but makes no
provision for the expenses. Heretofore these expenses
have been paid from the current expense fund. It seems
eminently proper that there should be a separate fund to
draw from in case of such emergency, instead of having
them go to swell the ordinary expenses of the prison.
It is known to your excellency that there is a great and
growing interest in the important subject of penitentiary
reform. That interest culminated in the International
Prison Congress, which was held in the city of London in
July, 1872, and in like sessions held in this country since
that time, one in the city of Baltimore in February, 1878,
and the last at the city of St. Louis in May, 1874. It is
believed that the public interest concentrating upon this
important subject, and the experiment in prison manage-
ment and construction now in progress will crystalize within
a few years in some system which, in respect to the protec-
tion of society and the reformation of the prisoner, will be
a great advance upon any present system. Other States
make appropriations to enable one or more of their prison
officers to attend this congress, and learn something of prison
discipline and reform management. Minnesota has never
but once been represented in this congress. Your board
recommend that provision be made hereafter to send one or
more delegates to the meetings of this congress.
It has been the custom for many years to exchange re-
ports with the various prisons and reformatory institutions
of other States, but for the past two years no printed copies
of the Warden and Inspectors' reports have been sent to
this prison. Not even the Warden being supplied with a
copy to file in his office, as required by law. The board,
therefore, ordered 100 copies printed in 1873, and had them
sent to the prison for exchange and distribution. The bill
Digitized by VjOOQIC
mSFSCTOBS OF 8TATE PKISON. if
for sttoh printing is $115, but hae not been paid, for the rea-
son that there were no funds appropriated for such purpose,
and no contingent fund out of which to pay it. The bill is
reasonable and should be paid.
During the season gas fixtures hare been put into the pris-
on, with all necessary burners, to supply the prison with
gas, the bill for the same is $269 39. JiV'e recommend an
appropriation to pay for the same.
We estimate the earnings of the prison for the ensuing
year ^t the sum of $16,600.
An appropriation of forty thousand (40.000) dollars will
be necessary to meet the expenses for the ensuing year, to-
wit : $14,000 for salaries of officers, and $26,000 for cur-
lent expenses.
In regard to the sanitary condition of the prison, and the
spiritual welfare of the convicts, attention is invited to the
reports of the Physician and Chaplain hereto attached. All
of which is respectfully submitted.

Daa&ing an average of 112.63 prisoners in oonfinement
during the year.
A considerable portion of the work done for the State
was expended in grading the grounds, and other permanent
improvements.
The total expenditures of the Prison for the year have
been as follows :
For Salaries of offioers, ...
** Subsistence, ...
** Fuel and lights, - * -
** Clothing and bedding,
** Freedom suits, discharged convicts,
*« Bepairs, ....
" Good conduct, ....
** Gateage, discharged convicts,
** Medicines and Hospital stores,
** Blank books, stationery, postage and
printing, ....
*' Miscellaneous, . . •
The above division of items of expense is approximately
correct, but not entirely so, owing to the method of keeping
the books. It is my purpose henceforth to keep an exact
account of the different items of expense so classified as to
give at a glance the amount expended for each purpose.
The item of *<good conduct '* covers the amount paid to
convicts under the law passed at the last Legislature. It is
not properly an item of expenditure, but is a gratuity given
by the State for good conduct, and is deducted from the
earnings of convict labor.
The earnings for the year have been as follows :
For rent of shops and grounds, - - $100 00

Having been in charge of this institution for so short a
time it would seem inappropriate for me to make any sug-
gestions in regard to its necessities. Your long connection
with it enables you to thoroughly understand its wants and
iisk lor such appropriations as you deem expedient.
Permit me, however, to call your attention to some facta
with which you may not be conversant. The well in the
yard irom which water was obtained in part for cooking and
dritiking purposes was condemned by the Prison Physician
last August, he considering the water unfit for use, and I
am satisfied that no good water can be obtained from wella
aunk within the Ptison yard, on account of the locality, but
it can be easily obtained Irom springs outside and brought
into any part of the Prison. Our supply now is limited to
one small spring and the cisterns. |The^ necessity for an
Digitized by VjOOQIC
38 ANNUAL BBPOBT.
abundance of good water is so apparent that I ain sure you
would only have to ask tor in order to obtain the necessary
funds.
The cooking facilities are entirely inadequate for the pur-
poses with our increasing numbers* and I recommend that
you ask for an appropriation sufficient to build a brick oven
in the basement story.
There are now but eighteen vacant cells in the Prison.
Should the relative increase be as great this year as it was-
last, we shall soon require more ceils. By carrying up the
walls of the old ceil room to the height of the new part fifty-
f wo more cells could be obtained. I deem it important that
this be done at an early day.
In regard to the old crazy fence that surrounds a portion
of the yard, it is only necessary to say that it still stands-
there* and if we have no high winds or freshets may last
another year.
Under the operations of the law of last winter paying
convicts for their good time the expenses of the Prison have
been considerably increased* but the effect of the law upon
the prisoners is good, it impresses upon them the fact,
that while they are being punished for their offenses the
State has a fostering care for its unfortunates.
I am well aware, that at the present time, when crimen
are so frequent, that there is a strong feeling against con*
victs, hut there is a fact in connection with this matter
worthy of our consideration, it is this, that a large per cent,
of those sent up here during the past year are young men,
some mere boys, and for short terms* they have generally
been addicted to intemperance and their education sadly
neglected, although the most of them claim that they can
re^ and write yet their education is extremely limited* of
course there are exceptions* but intemperance and ignorance
are the two primary causes that bring men to this Prison ;
while here they are strictly temperate, and we are endeavor-
ing to give them an education sufficient to enable them to
do business for themselves.
The conduct of the prisoners of late has generally beea
good and they seem as contented and quiet as could well be
expected of men deprived of their freedom. As to the
moral and sanitary condition of the Prison I would refer you
to the accompanying reports of the Chaplain and Physician,
both of whom have been earnest and faithful in the discliarge
of their respective duties, and to them as well as others-
associated with me in the care and management of the Prison,.

I tender my thanks. They have all evinoed a disposition to
attend to their own legitimate business and that faithfully.
To take charge and become conversant with the intricate
affairs of an institution of this kind is a matter of no small
responsibility, and to you gentlemenn I am under many
obligations for your valuable suggestions and kind assistance
so cheerfully given.
Respectfully submitted,

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT
Stillwateb, MiNN.y Nov. 30f 1874.
To (he Hon. Warden and Board of Inspectors:
Gentlemen : I have the honor herewith to present my
report of the Department] under niy charge, for the fiscal
year ending Nov. 30»)1874.
Before making a specific report of the sick cases and other
matters of record, I deem it my duty to pay a passing tribute
to the memory of my honored and lamented predecessor in
office, the late Dr. Joel K. Reiner, who for a number of
years filled the office of Physician of the Prison i and who,
in his humane and skillful fulfillment of the duties pertain-
ing thereto, won the high esteem of, not only the various
'officers having charge thereof, but who received the grateful
regard of the convicts who came under his care, for his ten-
der and zealous attention to their physical ailments. No
higher eulogy can be paid to the memory of the late Dr.
Beiner than is contained in the fact that he fell a victim to
his professional zeal and Christian desire to aid the suffer-
ing and the unfortunate* Open-hearted and generous, none
ever appealed to him in vam for the assistance that lay in
his power to give. His memory is embalmed in the hearts
of hundreds who knew him but to honor and love him, and
there are thousands of citizens of this State who will gladly
join in eulogizing the memory of this departed and most
respected citizen and professional gentleman.

WABTODT OF STATB PRISON. 41
In my endeavors to catry oat the measares best adapted
to the preservation of the health of the occupants of the
Prison, I desire to acknowledge the assistance which past
and present Wardens, Mr. Jackman and Capt. Beed, and
their deputies, respectively, Maj. Evans and Mr. Williams,
have afforded me. I desire to especially call attention to
the eneigetic manner in which the present Warden and his
subordinates have sought to improve the sanitary ^condition
of the Prison, in so much that I seriously question whethcfr
any institution of this kind in the West, presents stronger
evidences of a kindly regard for its inmates, their comfort,
health and general welfare.
To the Honorable the Board of Health for the State, I
desire to express my acknowledgments of the success oT
their late recommendation of the use of dry earth in
the cells and cell buckets. As a disinfectant the earth has
proved more satisfactory than any article previously used
ior the same purpose. All other suggestions of the Board,
60 far as practicable, have been carried out.
The pursuance of the system of frequent whitewashing of
rooms and cells, and the enforcement of personal cleanliness
among the convicts, in which matters the Warden has neg-
lected nothing calculated to promote health and comfort,
and the excellent manner in which the culinary department
has been conducted under supervision of Steward Hall
has conduced, in a great measure, to keep the sanitary con-
dition ot the prison within nearly the bounds of the year
previous, notwithstanding the extensive increase in the
number of persons confined in the cells.
There are matters pertaining to the existing and insuffi-
cient drainage system, the incapacity and improper location
of the shop privies, and the inadequate water supply, that
more properly belong to the Warden's report, which* that
gentleman will undoubtedly refer to.
I shall therefore conclude by making the following report
of total cases treated during the year, and of such other
oiatters as appear upon the physician's book of record, viz. :

CHAPLAIN'S REPORT.
To the Honorable Warden arid Board oj Inipectora of the
Minnesota State Prison:
Oentlbmen : I sake pleasure in submitting the follow*
iug report as Chaplaia of the prison :
My experience in this capacity has been short, having
been appointed in August last. Since that time we have •
held religious services in the chapel every Sabbath at nine
o'clock A. M. I have been very much pleased with the uni-
form good order on the part of the prisoners in passing in
and out of the chapel, amounting almost to military preci-
sion ; and I have been especially pleased with the close at-
tention given to the pulpit mmistrations, and the earnest*
ness with which they enter into the singing. As we con-
sider the singing an important part oi the chapel service,
we have introduced a cheap *« hymn and tune books'* so that
all may be supplied with books who will sing.
There seems to be but Httle opportunity, outside of the
regular Sabbath services, to do much with the prisoners in
the jRray of religious instruction. I would state, however,
that I have visited them to some extent at their cells out-
side otl working hours, and trust that in the future I shall
be able to do so more than in the past. I enjoy the work,
and shall try to do all in my power for the moral reform of
the prisoners.
I am under great obligations to Warden Reed and Depu-
ty Warden Williams for the cordial welcome given me when
introduced to my duties, and the hearty co-operation on
Digitized by VjOOQIC

their part and those of all their assistants with me in my
worK. * *
I wish here to express my appreciation of the determina-
tion manifested by the Warden not only to make lyiinnesota
State Prison meet the object for which it is designed in the
way of penalty, but also to make it a place of moral reform
and mental improvement. As further evidence of this he
has recently established a class for instruction in secular
knowledge, which meets in the chapel every Sabbath after-
noon, that being the only opportunity, the prisoners being
engaged during the week in the work shops. This is a suc-
cess, and doubtless many who entered the prison unable to
read or write will be able to do so on retiring.
I feel like saying in conclusion that in my judgment, if
the same interest is taken in the direction of moral and
mental improvement on the part of the prisoners as is man-
ifested for them, they will retire from prison life better men
than when they entered.
I remain, gentlemen,
Yours very respectfully,
J. H. MACOMBER,
Chaplain.

REPORT.
To His Excellency i O. K. Davis ^ Chvemor; and to the
Honorable Legislature of the State of Minnesota :
The Board of Managers and the Superintendent of the
Minnesota State Reform School, have the honor to present
this, their Eighth Annual Report.
We have pursued the work intrusted to our management,
with such a measure of care and diligence as its importance,
to the State and to the youth committed to our care, neces-
earily demands.
The members of the Board are called to meet, at least
once a month lor the transaction of business ; frequently, at
other times, to consult and advise with the Superintendent,
on matters connected with the interest of the Institution ;
and while for these services no pecuniary compensation is
received, we find an ample rewpd in the assured reforma*
tion of many of the youth who have been committed to our
guardianship.
DISOIFLINB.
The discipline of the Institution has been maintained fully
up to the standard of former years.
It has been our constant aim to make the school a suit-
able home for these youth ; a home in which order, indus-
try, application to stndy, and obedience to law are incul-
cated and required.
The largest liberty, consistent with good morals, just
treatment of each other, and a proper respect for superiors,
is permitted to the inmates in their amusements. Playful-

ness iB a prominent characteristic of youth, and ours are not
stinted in their allowance of fun and frolic. There is in
this school none of that dejected, self-deprecatory, and
hang-dog look, too often to be seen in institutions where
youth are confined, either for correction or in compliance
with the behests of pity and benevolence.
HEALTH.
^ During nine months of the year, we were blessed with
uninterrupted health. On the 29th of August, Typhoid
Fever made its appeaVance in the school. Twenty -two boy»
have had the fever, of which number three have died ; two
died in the school, the third was removed by his mother
and died at his home in St. Paul. Two of the eipployees-
have had the fever, and one of the children of the Superin-
tendents, a daughter seven years old, died of it, November
27th.
Dr. Chas. E. Smith and Dr. D. W. Hand, were the at*
tendant physicians ; they were prompt and diligent in their
care of the sick, and all that could be done by the skill of
physicians and careful nursing, was done for the sick.
At the request of the Superintendent, Dr. Smith has made
a statement in writing, touching the endemic, which is here-
with presented as a part of this report :
St. Paul, Nov. 28, 1874.
Bev. J. G. mhelda^er^ Superintendent State Reform
School:
Sir: — In compliance with your request I send you an
account of the endemic of Typhoid Fever, which has been
prevailing in the Reform School.
Typhoid Fever made its appearance on Aug. 29th in a
boy in the large boys' dormitory. He was immediately
transferred to the Hospital building, and no new cases were
developed until about Sept. 2()th, when several others were^
taken « so that in a few days there were eight new cjases m
Hospital.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
BBFORM BOHOOL. v 6
Other oases developed themselves, until Oct. 8th, when
in all there had been at that date thirteen cases. On Oct.
^th. Dr. D. W. Hand took charge of the sick, on account of
my absence from the city, and he reports seven new cases
between this date and the 11th Nov. Since that time two
new cases have developed — one a small boy, and one a
member of your own family. The boys attacked were nearly
equally divided between the two dormitories, so that it
cannot be traced to any local cause in their sleeping apart-
ments.
In the above number of cases four have resulted fatally,
three of the inmates, and one in your family. A careful
survey of the buildings and surroundings, both by Dr.
Hand and myself, the water closets, drains, wells, etc., fails
to reveal any local cause for the disease.
At the present time there are but two sick, among the
inmates, one convalescing and the other still ill.
Some of the cases were very severe, but the majority of
them were not more so than we ordinarily meet with in the
-city.

in the Female department. Not a single girl has been com*
mitted during the year ; while those who had been receiyed
during preceding years, were for the most part so far
reformed that it was thought safe to discharge them. Those
whose friends desired to take charge of them were sent to
their homes, while for others suitable places were found,
and employment provided.
THE OIBLS DEPARTMENT.
But a comparatively small number of girls have been
sent to the Reform School ; only 16 in all ; but most of these
were committed tor Larceny or worse oflfenses. The fact
that so few girls have been committed is not to be attributed
to the absence of proper subjects among the female juve-
niles of the State. There are many who greatly need and
would be benefited by the discipline and training of the
Beiorm School, but the act, regulating commitments, is such
as to make it almost impossible to secure the conmiitment of
a girl upon a charge of incorrigibility ; it is only when con-
victed of some crime that must be punished that they will
be sent to the Beform School.
We have had frequent applications during the past year,
from mothers and other friends of incorrigible girls, for
information, as to how they could secure their commitment;
all we could do was to refer them to the law in the case ;
but in trying to follow the steps prescribed by the law they
found it impossible to secure the consent of the County
Commissioners, which is required to all commitments for
incorrigibility.
The bad conduct of boys is more open send annoying to
the community, and hence officials are more ready to seek
their restraint and reformation.
There is, however, but one feature in the law that your
Board would respectfully suggest, may be working against
the beneficent purpose of the State Reform School ; that
feature which requires the counties from which the inmates
are sent to be taxed for their support. We would galdly
Digitized by VjOOQIC

see every other bar against improper commitments remain.
We deem it only necessary to lay before the Legislature the
results of our experience in attempting the reformation of
girls. Thirteen have gone out from the school; one is
acting as assistant in the girls school , one is teaching a
public school, four are at service in good families where
they have good homes, and the remainder are with or under
the care of their own friends. These girls were proper sub-
jects for the school, it has been the means of saving them to
themselves and their friends, and what it has done for them
it could with the same agency have done for a larger number.
DISOHABGED BOT8.
We have i^ previous reports, called attention to the good
effects of the training received in this Institution, as showD
in the conduct of those who have been honorably fur*
loughed.
The number of discharged has been increasing each year,
and is now greater than the' number in attendance. Since
the discharged, now number 145, it is impossible longer to
notice them individually in our annual reports. While we
might select a number of cases .and present them as com*
menditory of the good work being done, we should have to
leave out a larger number equally worthy, we will therefore
content ourselves with the following statement :
We have a general knowledge of the standing and char-
acter of the discharged ; they are to be found employed in
stores, in shops, on farms, on railroads, in the pineries, and
working in the mills ; some are learning trades, some attend*
ing schools, and others are living at home, subject to their
parents. As a class, these boys have ceased to require the
vigilance of police officers, or to make business for the
courts. We frequently hear from the most. trustworthy
sources, of the good conduct of our boys, and are able to
say again, as we have said before, «* as a class they will not
suffer in comparison with any equal number of boys of the
same^age, taken as they come, in any part of the State.^

HOLIDAT8.
As in the past, the holidays have been devoted to the
pleasure of the inmates. The Fourth of July, Christmas
and New Year's Day, Thanksgiying, and their usual day at
the State Fair.
During the summer* we have devoted one half hour each
day to military drill. The boys made rapid progress in ac-
quiring a knowledge 6f the various ' movements, and were
much interested in these exercises. Not being able to pro-
euve suitable arms, we have been unable to progress in this
undertaking as far as we might otherwise have done. But
the drill has been good for the boys, and has aided in the
discipline of the school.
In August we took the whole school out for a week's en-
<)ampment, upon a lake about seven miles from the Institu-
tion. We took with us provisions and tents ; were well
supplied with boats and fishing tackle ; caught all the fish
we could eat, gave ourselves up to the enjoyment of the va-
cation, and returned at the close oi the week feeling that no
other one hundred boys had enjoyed that week more than
the Beform School boys.
STEAM HBATING.
The last Legislature made an*appropriation ot $5,500.00
for heating with steam the Shop building and New Family
building.
When the board came to receive bids for this work, it was
discovered that there had been a very large decline in the
price of steam pipe, and all other materials used in steam
fitting. There was also a sharp competition between differ-
ent firms, for the contract, hence the bids were much lower
than had been anticipated ; so that with the addition of a few
hundred dollars we were able to heat the Main building
also. The furnaces of the Main building were burned out,
and to have replaced them would have involved an expense,
almost if not quite equal to the amount necessary to supple-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
BEFpBM SOHOOL. 13
ment the appropriation for steam heating. Besides it had
always been impossible to heat the Main building with the
furnaces. Stoves had to be used in all the rooms except the
dormitory. Thus greatly increasing the risk from fire, and
consuming an unnecessarily large amount of fuel. Id
view of these facts, and also of the fact that the introduction
of steam which lessen our expense for insurance about one-
third, it was thought in every way better to complete the
steam heating in all the three buildings.
The contract for the Shop and Family building was
awarded to J. H. Woolsey & Co., of St. Paul. The con-
tract for heating the Main building was awarded to Wilson
& Bodgers, of St. Paul. Both of these firms have done
their work in a satisfactory manner, and have warranted the
heating of the rooms up to the degree of temperature re-
quired in the contracts.

THE LA.A^.
An Ad to secure proper commitmerUa to the Minnesota State
Reform School.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota:
Section 1. That whenever any iafant under the age of
sixteen years shall have been duly convicted in any of the
courts of this State, of any crime punishable by imprison*
ment, except of the crime of murder, it shall be the duty
of the magistrate before whom such conviction is had, to
commit the said infant so convicted to the guardianship of
the Board of Managers of the Minnesota State Reform
School.
Seo. 2. That no Justice of the Peace shall have power
to commit any infant to said Reform School upon a charge
of incorrigibility, unless such charge is proved by at least
two disinterested witnesses, and no commitment for incorri
gibility shall be sufficient to justify the admission of the
said incorrigible infant into the Reform School unless such
commitment be accompanied by the written consent of at
least three of the County Commissioners ot the proper
county to ^hich said infant belongs, and which is charge-
able with the expense of clothing, maintenance and instruc-.
tion of such infant.
Sbo. 3. That in case any infant under the age of sixteen
years shall have been duly convicted of any other crime,
except that of incorrigibility, then no consent of the County
Commissioners shall be necessary to authorize the commit-
ment ; but in all cases of conviction before a Justice of the
Peace, the justice shall reduce all the evidence taken by him
to writing, and state the name, age and residence of each
witness examined, and transmit the same forthwith to the
chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, who shall,
without delay, submit the same to the Judge of the District
Court for said county, whose duty it shall be to examine the
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
BBVOBM SOHOOL. 19
same and approve or disapprove of such conviction. If the
conviction of the justice is approved, the minor shall forth-
with be committed to the said Board of Managers ; if dis-
approved, no other proceeding shall be had.
Seo. 4. Tliat if it shall appear to the County Commis-
sioners that the parents of any infant committed for incor-
rigibility are able to pay the expense of clothing, mainten-
ance and instruction of such infant, then, and in th&t case,
the said county having paid to the State Reform School the
charges for the clothing, maintenance and instruction of
such infant, may recoyer the same of the parents of such
infant.
Sec. 5. This act shall be in force and take effect from
and after its passage.
Approved February 26, 1872.
An act erUitled an act to consolidate the various acts relating
to the Minnesota State Reform School and to amend the
same.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State qf Minnesota:
Seotiok 1. That the Minnesota State Beform School
shall be managed and conducted on behalf of the State and
as a State institution, by a board of four managers, three of
whom shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of busi-
ness. That the persons now constituting said board shall
continue to serve as managers for the term for which they
were respectively appointed, and on the second Monday of
January of each and every year hereafter, the Governor of
this State shall appoint one competent person to serve a^
manager in said board for four years ; and within twenty
days after such annual appointment, the Governor shall des-
ignate one of said managers to act as President of said board
for the period of one year, and until his successor shall be.
designated ; and the Governor shall duly notify said board
of such appointment at their first regular meeting thereafter ;
and the said managers shall always, at their first regular
meeting after the appointment of their President, elect, by
a plurality of votes, such other officers of the said board as
may be deemed by them expedient; and whenever any
vacancy shall occur in said board by death, lesigaation, or
otherwise, the Governor shall fill the same by appointment,
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
20 ANNUAL BVPORT.
and the appointee, shall hold only for the unexpired term of
the person whose place he is appointed to fill. The managers
in said board shall in all cases hold over after the expiration
of the term tor which they shall have been respectively ap-
pointed, until their successors respectively shall have been
appointed and qualified. No member ot the board of man-
agers shall receive any compensation for his services.
Sec. 2. That the board of managers shall keep said insti-
tution provided with suitable buildings and grounds in the
county of Ramsey, and shall establish such regulations
respecting the religious and moral education, training, em-
ployment, discipline, and safe keeping ot its inhabitants as
may be deemed expedient and proper.
Sbo. 3. That it shall be the duty of the board of mana-
gers to receive, to the extent of the means placed at their
disposal, and of the accommodations afforded by the build-
ings and grounds belonging to said school, all infants under
their care and guardianship, and the same to keep during
their minority, or until discharged under the rules of said
board ; males under the age of sixteen years, and females
under the age of fifteen years, committed to said school, in
any of the following modes, to- wit :
First — Infants committed by a justice ot the peace, on the
complaint and due proof thereof, by the parent, guardian or
next friend of said infant, that by reason of incorrigible or
vicious conduct, such infant has rendered his or her control
beyond the power of parent, guardian or next friend, and
made it manifestly requisite that from regard to the morals
and future welfare of such infant, he or she should be placed
under the guardianship of the managers of the Minnesota
State Reform School.
Second — Infants committed by the authority aforesaid,
when complaint and due proof have been made that such in-
fant is a proper subject for the guardianship of the managers
of the said Minnesota State* Ref6rm School, in consequence
of vagrancy, or incorrigibly vicious conduct, and that from
the moral depravity or other insuperable obstacle, on the
part of the parent, guardian or next friend in whose custody
such infant may be, such parent, guardian or next friend is
incapable or unwilling to exercise the proper care and disci-
pline over such incorrigible and vicious infant.
Third — Infants who shall be taken and committed as va-
grants, or upon any criminal charge, or duly convicted of
any criminal offenses, such as in the judgment of the court
before which such conviction may be had, may be deemed
Digitized by VjOOQIC
BBFOBM SCHOOL. • 21
proper reason for such commitment ; and the said managers
shall have the power to place the said children committed to
their care during their minority, at such employment, and
cause them to be instructed in such branches of useful knowl-
edge as may be suitable to their years and capacities ; and
they shall have the power at their discretion to bind out the
said children, with their consent, as apprentices, for the
period of their minority, to such persons and at such places,
to learn such trades and employments as, in the judgment of
the said managers, will be most conducive to their reforma-
tion and amendment, and will tend to the future benefit and
advantage of such children.
Sec. 4. That it shall be the duty of any justice of the
peace, compitting a vagrant, or incorrigible, or vicious in-
fant, as aforesaid, in addition to the adjudication required
by the third section of this act, to annex to the commitment
the names and residences of the different witnesses examin-
ed before him, and the testimony given by them respectively,
on which the said adjudication was founded.
Sec. 5. It shall be the duty of the sheriff or any consta-
ble of the respective counties, or in case of their absence, of
. any suitable person appointed by the court for such purpose
to convey any infant committed as aforesaid, to said school,
and justicee of the peace and constables and sheriffs per-
forming services under this act, shall be paid the same fees
as are allowed for similar services in criminal cases, and the
officer conveying any infant committed, as aforesaid, to said
school, shall receive therefore the same compensation as is
allowed for the conveyance of prisoners to the State prison :
such fees and compensation to be paid out of the treasury of
the county from which such infant was committed.
Seo. 6. That the children received by said managers, un-
der the conviction of any court within this State, shall be
clothed, maintained and instructed by the said managers, at
the public expense of the proper county from which they
came ; and the accounts of said children shall be kept by the
managers in an intelligible and proper manner.
Seo. 7. That the said managers may, from time to time,
make by-laws, ordinances, and regulations relative to the
management, government, . instruction, discipline, employ-
ment and disposition of the said children, while in the said
Beform School, as they deem proper, (the same being not
contrary to law) and may appoint such officers, agents and
servants as they may consider necessary to transact the busi.
ness of said school, and may designate their duties and sal-

aries. And further, the said managers shall annually lay
before the Legislature of the State,/on the first day of each
session thereof, a report setting forth the number of children
received into the said school, the disposition which shall
have been made of them by instructing them or employing
them therein, or by binding them out as apprentices ; the
receipts and expenditures of said managers, and generally
all such facts and particulars as may tend to exhibit the effects
whether beneficial or otherwise, ot the said institution.
Sec. 8. That all persons committed to the Minnesota
State Reform School, shall be allowed in all casses of sick-
ness spiritual advice and spiritual ministration from any rec-
ognized clergyman ot the denomination or church to which
said inmates may respectively belong ; such advice and min-
istration to be given within sight of the person or persons
having charge oi such inmates ; but if the sick person or
persons seeking it, desire religious consolation out of hear-
ing of any ofiicer of said institution, they, in such cases, shall
not be debarred the right by any rule of said school.
Sec. 9. That the grounds and buildings erected thereon,
for the use of the said school, shall be exempt from tax-
ation.
Sec. 10. That no person or persons, corporation or body
politic, shall be permitted to open, lay out, or construct any
road or highway, either public or private, under any pre-
tence whatever, upon or through any ground owned and
occupied by said school, without the consent of the mana-
gers thereof.
Seo. 11. All acts or parts of acts heretofore passed for
the incorporation of the said Minnesota State Reform School
and all act amendatory thereto, not necessary to carry out
any provisions of this act, not contained in or incorporated
herein, and all acts inconsistent with this act, are hereby
repealed.

AGRICULTURE-
The present report on agriculture embraces :
(a) Statements concerning cultivated acreages and yields
of products in tbe year 1873, with tables showing aggre-
gates and averages by counties.
(b) Preliminary statements regarding tbe breadths as-
signed to each crop in the year 1874, with an estimate of
aggregate yields in 1874, and acreage tables by counties.
(c) A report on live stock in 1874, with tables showing
the number of each class by counties.
{d) Returns concerning the planting of forest trees on
bur prairies under State and National enactment^ for the
encouragement of tree planting.
There is a steady improvement in the character of the re-
turns. The obstacles to the collection of accurate informa-
tion, interposed by prejudice and ignorance, are gradually
disappearing, and no organized town with important agricul-
ture to report is now omitted from the returns. For a state-
ment of towns included in this report, the Commissioner
refers to pages 238-41 of his last report, to which a num-
ber of new towns and districts were added in the year 1874.
The acreage in each of the several crops in the year 1873

881 9404 acres were added in 1873 to the breadth assigned
to wheat, a greater enlargement than in any former year.
Comparing product with area, the crop, like that of 1872,
was a good average one in yield, the total quantity exceed-
ing by 4,343,110 bushels the bountiful harvest of the latter
year.

The spring of 1873, succeeding a winter of almost un-
exampled severity, was unusually backward, cold and disa-
greeable, and the preparation of the soil and putting in of
the seed were in consequence materially delayed. Bainy
weather prevailing during the early part of the growing
season, wheat as well as other grains failed to get a good
start on low lands throughout the state, the damage gener-
ally proving greater than crops were able to onflow, de-
spite the very favorable after-conditions that finally gave
character to the season. To this cause, even more than to
ravages by grasshoppers, must be ascribed the small yields
in the new counties of the southwest, while in Freeborn,

Le Sueur, Wright, Meeker and Morrison the effect was to
reduce more or less the county averages. July and August
and, indeed, June from the 20th were months of great
beauty and pleasantness, with a positive warmth not ex-
ceeded in the past fifteen years and yet so generally dif-
fused as not to become oppressive ; a fair amount of rain
fell at quite equal intervals, and the wheat crop was rapidly
carried forward to maturity, was harvested in good condi*
tion and proved to be above the average in most places
where a good stand had been obtained in the spring.
Seven counties in 1873 returned a yield each of one mil-
lion bushels wheat and upwards, as follows :

the year. A third group ot ten counties — Chisago, Clay,
Freeborn, Grant, McLeod, Nicollet, Otter Tail, Todd,
Waseca and Wright — averaged each between 16 and 17
bushels per acre, together producing 2,806,864 bushels on
172,951 acres, an average of 16.22 bushels per acre. Added
to the above nineteen, we have 29 counties raising together
21,496,468 bushels on 1,150,388 acres, or a general aver*
age of 18.68 bushels per acre on a trifle less than three-
fourths of the total wheat area of the state in 1873.
The remaining 83 counties, yielding each from 3 to 15
bushels per acre, produced 4,906,022 bushels wheat on
898,325 acres, an average of 12.84 bushels per acre. Their
area embrace most of the newer settlements, including all
districts ravaged by grasshoppers in 1873. Where not
caused by these insects, their greatly reduced yields were
mainly owing to an extraordinary amount of damage from
wet and weeds, superinduced by the* absence of drainage
and generally of fall ploughing, damage from cattle break-
ing into the fields, and damage from the rotting of seed in
the ground when taken from wheat wintered in the stack.
In some western districts on both sides of the St. Paul &
Pacific Main Line, drought in the latter part of the season
contributed to the reduction of crops. The counties suf«
fering from grasshoppers in 1873 were returned as follows :

which reports coDcerning grasshoppers were received by
the Commissioner, and 13.38 bushels per acre in the re*
maining towns of the same counties. In addition to the
above, a town in Faribault raising 14,381 bushels on 1,683
acres, was reported to have been touched by the grasshop-
pers, making an aggregate of 75,840 acres in wheat devas-
tated by these pests. Comparing the final returns for the
above counties with the preliminary acreage statements ta-
ken in the spring of 1873, the former are seen to be quite
full, those for Martin and Faribault alone excepted, the
final reports for these two counties falling short respectively
1,589 and 6,397 acres, attributable, perhaps, mainly to the
omission from the returns of acreages whose crops from any
cause were completely destroyed.
Aside from grasshoppers, the drawbacks throughout the
state to a good crop ot wheat were largely such as in the
older and better cultivated districts are measureably under
the control of farmers, while in the newer counties they be-
come controlling for want of experience and of the means
necessary to proper cultivation. The season, upon the
whole, will bear comparison with that in other Northern
states. Throughout the country the winter was equally as
severe and the spring equally as backward as in Minnesota.
The Hudson opened five days later at Albany than the Mis-
sissippi at St. Paul, and while in ^Minnesota there was no
relapse into winter after the beginning of the growing sea-
son, heavy falls of snow occurred in New England in the
middle ot May, and the growing crops of Kansas and Ne-
braska were seriously damaged by violent snow storms.
Indeed, Minnesota was the banner state in the production
ot wheat in 1873, the yield on an equally large area exceed
ing that of any other state.

The yield of oats in 1873 was determined mainly by the
same causes that aflfected the wheat crop. The average
ranged above 60 bushels per acre in all but four of the
counties producing a good or middling crop of wheat, and
fell below this figure in 29 of the 33 counties whose yield
of wheat was only 15 bushels or less per acre. The follow-
ing eight counties each produced half a million bushels of
oats and upwards » being the seven that yielded not less
than one million bushels of wheat each, with Blue Earth

The acreage in 1873 was reduced somewhat by injuries
from grasshoppers, and perhaps still more by the unfavora-

The table of county aggregates shows an increase in most
of the newer counties, and a decrease in nearly all of the
older, the reduction being attributable mainly to the sever-
ity of the winter. The statement for four preceding years

Returns for fifty-one counties give a total of 28,824
pounds, or 14,464 pounds less than in 1872. This crop,
which is but trifling in all counties, was destroyed by grass-
hoppers in the southwest, and was greatly reduced through
other agencies in Winona, Meeker and Kandiyohi, while
the returns of several other counties show a small increase.

OBAS8 SEEDS.
The returns for 1873 concerning clover seed show a re-
duction of the crop amounting to 802 bushels, as compared
with 1872, owing principally to the unusual severity of the
winter of 1872-73. Of timothy seed the quantity harvested
in 1873 was 40,022 bushels to 15,228 in 1872. The follow-
ing statement affords a comparison with former years :

FBUITS.
In Minnesota, as throughout the country, the extreme
cold of the winter did immense damage to fruit trees, in
many places killing fifty per cent, of apple trees and grape
vines, and making the crop on bearing trees and vines gen*
erally small and poor. The statements for 1873 show an
apple crop of 20,307 bushels against 39,663 bushels in 1872,
and a falling off in the number of trees in bearing of 3,017,
while the number of trees growing has more than doubled,
owing to new plantings. The totals for 1873 were as fol-
lows :
Apple trees growing 6,662,068
Apple trees in bearing 64,464
Bushels of apples raised 20,607
Comparing as follows with the figures for four preceding
years :

The number of apple-growing counties was swelled in
1873 by the addition of Orant, Kanabec, Lac qui Parle ,
Nobles, Polk, Bock and Wilkin. Of counties reporting
agricultural products only Liake and Lincoln made no re-
turn of apple trees.
Ten counties made return of apple trees growing and na
trees in bearing or yield of apples, to-wit : Becker, Clay,
Kanabec, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Nobles, Polk, Bock, Ste-
vens and Swift.
Nine other counties reported apple trees in bearing in
1873 and no yield of apples, to-wit: Cottonwood, Grant,
Jackson, Murray, Otter Tail, Bedwood, Benville, Wilkin
and Yellow Medicine, being an addition of four, Cotton-
wood, Orant, Wilkin and Yellow Medicine, since 1872.
The forty-two remaining counties all reported a crop of
apples in 1873, three of them, Chippewa, Martin and Pope,
returning a yield for the first time. In 1871 thirty-two
counties reported a crop of apples, thirty]counties in 1870
and twenty-six in 1869.
A crop of 100 bushels apples or more was reported from
twenty-seven oounties in 1873, against twenty-six in 1872,
eighteen in 1871 and twelve in the two previous years.
Statements concerning grape culture having been called
for in the blanks for 1878, reports were made by forty-seven
oounties showing the following aggregates :

The tax law of 1874 requiring assessors to take their
statements between the first Monday in May and the fourth
Monday in June, these officers necessarily visited some
tarms before the sowing or planting was all done, hence the
above returns for 1874 are presumably not quite full as re-
gards late sown or planted products. The increase in the
acreage ot each crop is as follows : —

CBOPS ly 1874.
Private orop-reports tor 1874 indicate a reduction, com-
pared with 1873, in the average yield ot nearly all products.
As causes operating more or less throughout the state, poor
seed and drought would seeiti to have been prominent, while
of drawbacks more local in their effects, grasshopper-in-
juries proved very serious in a large number of western
counties. With occadional exceptions, wheat was low on
old soil, and great inequalities were reported in the yield
of oats and corn. The average of these crops may fall below
that of last 'year on large areas in even the best cultivated
portions of the state. The following is an estimate in ad*
vance of official cropreturns, of the aggregate yield for the
whole state of each of the products named :
Bushels.
Wheat in 1874, estimated crop 21,660,000
Oats in 1874, estimated crop 10,696.000
Com in 1874, estimated crop • 6,600,000
Barley in 1874, estimated crop • 590,000
Bye in 1874, estimated crop 80,000
Buckwheat in 1874, estimated crop 26,000
Total of grain crops 89,640,000
Potatoes in 1874, estimatea crop 2,000,000
Beans in 1874, estimated crop 16,000
Official acreage-statements, always essential to an intelli-
gent estimate of aggregate yields, are for the present year
of less value than ordinarily, because of the absence of in-
formation concerning the amount of damage by grasshoppers.
The destruction of crops is said to have been more than 50
per cent, in the counties of Brown, Clay, Cottonwood, Jack-
son, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Marti ^Murray, Nobles,
Bedwood, Senville, Bock, Watonwan and Yellow Medicine ;

Fruits.— The effects of the winter of 1872-S were still
felt in 1874 in the continued dying of trees, and the returns
for the year show a decline in apple trees growing and grape
vines in bearing, while there is a handsome increase in the
number of apple trees in bearing. There is an increase,
also, in the reported number of nurseries.
LIVE STOOK m 1874.
The condition of stock was reported as good during the
year, the winter being mild, though long, fodder abundant
and n J serious less from epidemics. The only losses reported
were from depradations of dogs on the flocks of wool-growers,
the number of sheep killed in some towns exceeding one
hundred. The number of each class of live stocft in the
summer of 1874, as returned to the State Auditor for the
purposes of taxation, is stated as follows :
Horses under 8 years 81,6S4
Horses 8 years old and over 124,057
Horses, total • 165,641
Cattle nnder 2 years 126,069
Cows 2 years old and over • 191,047

Cattle, total 448,008
Mnles and Asses, of all ages • 4,541
Sheep 159,069
Hogs 168,944
Showing an increase for the year in all classes except
horses under 3 years and cattle under 2 years. The follow-
ing table affords a comparison with two preceding years :

60 BTATISTIOS OF HINKXSOTA.
TBBB PLANTING.
In the spring of 1874 the Commissioner of Statistics caused
a summary of all state and Congressional laws offering
premiums for the planting of forest trees on our prairies to
be printed on the slips upon which farm-statements of acre-
ages and products are made, thus bringing the knowledge
of these laws to every farmer in the state. A column was
also added on the slips for statements showing the progress
already made in this class of improvements, and returns
were obtained from 345 towns in 48 counties. The totals
are as follows :
249 towns report acres planted 5,777, and number of trees •••• 14,180,668
•59 towns report no acreage, but number of trees 797,496
•37 towns report acres planted 791, bat no number of trees • • • •
The number reported of acres planted being 6,568, and
of trees planted, 14,908,048. Taking the average number
of trees per acre in the 249 towns reporting both acreage
and trees, the number of acres in the 59 towns reporting
only trees would be 296, and the number of trees in the 37
towns reporting only acreage, 1,941,114, making a total for
the 345 towns of 6,864 acres wtth 16,121,667 forest trees
planted and growing upon the same. The number of planted
acres, however, as well as of planted trees, really covered by
the returns, is larger, because in aS towns there were farm-
ers who could state only the number of trees plauted» with-
out acreage, or the acreage planted, without the number of
trees.
To the above should be added statements concerning tree-
planting on the main line of the St. Paul and Pacific Bail-

Total, acres 147 Trees 4,000,800
The varietieB planted on the Main Line are the White Wil-
low, Cottonwood, Box Elder, Ash, Oak, Elm, Butternut,
Soft Maple, Sugar Maple, European Larch and Lombardy
Poplar,
On the St. Paul and Sioux City B. B. about 40,000 trees,
principally Cottonwood, Box Elders and White Willows,
mostly planted in the spring of 1874, are growing along the
line from Madelia, Watonwan county, Minnesota, to Le
Mars in Iowa. About one-half of the number are in Min-
nesota. European Larches to the number of 80,000 were
planted in the spring of 1874 but were destroyed b; grass-
hoppers. These will be replanted in the spring of 1875.
The company intend to grow the European Larch for B. B.
ties and will plant 600 acres with this variety.
Both companies transport forest and fruit trees for plant-
ing on farms on their lines free of charge.
As shown by a statement in the chapter on lands in this
report, 119,277 acres were entered at the U. S. Land Offices
in 1874 and 7,831 acres in 1873 under the Timber Culture
Acts of Congress which provide that 25 per cent, of land so
entered shall be planted with forest trees.

82 STATISTICS . OF MISOirBSOTA.
PROPERTY AND TAXATION*
The valuation of property as returned in June, 1874,
to the Auditor of State, and equalized for the purposes of
taxation, was as follows : —
Nomber of acres of land, exclnsiye of Town and City lots. 18,741,404
Aggregate yalue of the same, indndlng atmctares thereon. #U8,410,S20
Aggregate yalae of Town and City lots, Inclading structores
thereon 58,994,79S
Taxable yalaation of Keal Estate .* •172,405,^18
Value of Personal Property 46»02i,798
Total yaluaUon of Taxable Property $817,427»211
Showing an increase for the year of 467,581 in the num-
ber of acres taxable as the property of individuals. As to
the valuations, no information concerning the increase in the
wealth of the people can be derived from a comparison with
previous years, the assessment of 1874 having been made on
a basis differing from that of former assessments. In the
latter year an effort was made to do away with established
practices and customs in assessing property that generally
made the valuation range from one-half to one-third of the
selling price, and instead of such results to secure a valua-
tion that should be a near approach to the true value. Thfs
purpose has been accomplished to the extent of nearly
doubling the valuation in a year of scarcity of money and
low values, the increase in the several aggregates being as
follows : —

bridges are swelled by a tribute of 5 per cent, on U. S. Land
Office sales, paid by the U. S. government.
There are four permanent state funds as follows : —
The Permanent School Fundf derived from sales of lands,
«very 16th and 86th section or one-eighteenth of the area
of the state belonging to the common schools. Accumula-
tions November 30th, 1874, $3,030,127.09, or more than
the permanent school fund of any state in the Union except-
ing three, those of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Will
ultimately exceed ten millions of dollars.
The Permanent Univereiiy JFundt derived from sales of
Agricultural College and University lands. Accumulations
November 80th, 1874, $211,107.53. May ultimately reach
one million of dollars.
Internal Improvement Land Fund» derived from sales of
500,000 acres of land granted by Congress for purposes
of internal improvement. Accumulations Nov. 80, 1874,
$39,032.42. May reach four or five millions of dollars.
A constitutional amendment prohibits any disposal of this
fund not approved by a majority vote of the people at some
general election.

The InebricUe Asylum Fund^ created by^ an act of the
Legislature in 1873 for the foundation and maintenance oi
an asylum for inebriates, and derived from special $10
licenses to be paid by all liquor dealers in the State. Ac-
cumulations Nov. 30, 1874, $13,322.73.
The above permanent funds are invested in U. S. and
Minnesota and Missouri State bonds.

As above shown the original owner, the United States,
disposes of only 21,764,552 acres of the surveyed lands to
individual settlers, the balance being granted to the state
and to railroads, to be sold by these grantees to settlers
excepting only the area required for building-grounds and
road*ways.
The lands granted to the state are under the management
ot the State Land Office in St. Paul. Of this class School,
Agricultural College and Internal Improvement lands are
now subject to purchase by settlers through that office, the
average price being about $6 per acre on time with interest
at 7 per cent. Of the swamp lands a minor portion have

STATISTI08 OF MDOnCSOTA.
The above unoccupied lands are ecattered through all
sections of the stiite. A large part ot the state lands are
found even in the more densely populated counties ; more
than one-half of the railroad grants are located in fertile
portions of the state, and of the surveyed lands yet obtain -
able at the U. S. Land Offices a very ^considerable per
oentage is arable lands of unsurpassed fertility. There is
room on these lands for a number of new farms at least
equal to the number (about 60,000) located on the 16 millions
of surveyed acres now in private hands.

These lands are well watered and for gtein or stock farms
are unexcelled by any in Minnesota or out of it. All are
subject to homestead, timber culture or pre-emption entriee
— ^none to private entry. Population made up of nearly
every nationality."
Redwood FaXls — << Still considerable quantities of land
subject to entry in this district, principally prairie of good
quality and desirable for farming purposes, with a number
of good mills in successful Operation."
8t. CUmd — ** There is much good farming land left in
the St. Cloud district open to actual settlement, mostly in
Morrison, Todd, Wadena and some in Crow Wing and Cass-
counties."
Detroit — **The surveyed lands in this district are agri-
cultural lands and open to homestead and pre-emption

POPULATION. 91J
POPULATION
The Legislatare will this winter provide for a census of the
inhabitants of the state, to be taken during the coming
summer^ hence a calculation of the population by counties
on the basis ol the number of school children and simitar
classes of information , would not now possess the same in-
terest as in years farther from an actual enumeration. The
last statements of the number of school children are for
September, 1874 ; an estimate based on these and on the
very careful calculation of the population in 1873, pub*
lished in the Commissioner's report for that year, would
make the population of the whole state, 582,747, on June
1, 1874. This would be an increase since the U. S. Census
of June 1, 1870, of 148,041 inhabitants and an increase since
June 1, 1873 (over estimate for that date), of 30,283. It
is probable, indeed, that the increase in the year ending June
1, 1874, did not exceed the latter figure — allowing 11,000*
for the natural increase through excess of births over deaths,
it leaves 19,000 for increase by'immigration without count*
ing removals from the state, and immigration was known to
have been comparatively small, while the number of removals
naturally incident to the movement of population was
augmented from unusual causes, such as grasshoppers in
the southwest and ** hard times " everywhere. Accepting,
therefore, the above estimate as a near approach to the true
population, it compares as follows with statements for former
years: —

Population on June 1, 1878, (calculated) 552,459
Population on June 1, 1874, (calculated) 582,747
Among intelligent men in our own state and abroad there
is a demand for information concerning the elements com-
posing our population and their relative proportions, which
suggests the propriety of not limiting the approaching state
census to a mere counting of the number of inhabitants, as
was the enumeration in 1865, but to include at least all such
statistics for which the machinery of the census may be made
available without greatly increased cost to the state.
In the absence of sufficiently late official information, the
Commissioner of Statistics has frequently been called upon
to furnish detailed population-estimates tor^use in this and
other states, two of which may possess sufficient interest to
warrant their reproduction here.
At the request of the Eev. Dr. Jas. W. Strong, President
of Carlton College, the Commissioner in the summer of 1874
made the following calculations of the population by sex,

In the above tables the proportions are, of course, taken
from the n. S. Census of June 1, 1873, modified more or
less by the information gleaned from birth and death returns,
immigration statistics and the school census. Hence their
. accuracy depends upon the preservation of nearly the same
proportions at the end of three years after the U. S. Census.
They are, however, apt to be approximately correct and are
the nearest approach to the true figures in the absence of
an actual enumeration.

The comparative safety of traveling on railroads in Min*
nesota is seen from the fact that on all roads no passenger
was killed, and but two injured, from causes beyond their
control during the year. The number of passengers killed
by their own misconduct or want of caution was two on all
roads, and number injured from the same causes two. That
is, one passenger was killed to every 506,253 passengers
carried and one passenger injured to every 337,502 carried;
or one passenger killed to every 527,001 train miles run,
and one injured to every 351,300 train miles; or one pas-

UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE
IN MINNESOTA.
A table is appended to this report showing by district,
rate of tax and articles and occupations taxed, the amount
of collections in Minnesota in 1874 • The totals are tor the
first U. S. collector district, embracing the southern half ot
the state, $75,429^7, and for the second district, embracing
the northern half, $151,986.38, making an aggregate of
$827,855.55. The amount collected in the 8d district ha»
suffered a reduction since 1873, owing to the repeal of the
income tax and tax on gfts, and also to a diminution in the
number of retail liquor dealers paying the special $85 tax.
The collection of taxes on brewers and *< fermented
liquors,'*which are mainly beer, discloses the fact that 89,644
barrels of this beverage were brewed by 124 brewers in
Minnesota in 1874.
The amount ot collections in Minnesota and their percent-
age of collections in all the United States and Territories in
the under-mentioned years, were as follows :

This shows a total for the four years of 18,952 persons
who took out intention-papers and 4,662 that became U. 8.
citizens. Of the first class, 10,652 or 56.20 per cent* of
all were Scandinavians, 4,157 or 21.93 per cent, were Ger-
mans, and 2,256 or 11.95 per cent. British Europeans;
while of the 4,662 who became full citizens, 2,648 or 56.79
per cent, were Scandinavians, 914 or 19.60 per cent, were
Germans, and 617 or 13.23 per cent, were British Euro-
peans. A marked feature in the naturalization table for
1873-74, is the comparatively large number of persons in a
number of counties that became U. S. citizens, a fact attribu-
table mainly to the necessity of acquiring full citizenship
for the purpose of proving up claims under the U. S. home-
stead laws. The counties of Nicollet, Otter Tail, Stevens
and Swift make no report.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES.
EU maoeUenoy, O. K Davis,
Qovemar of Minnesota :
We herewith present onr Annual Report as Trustees of
the Minnesota Hospital for Insane.
By reference to the report of the Building Oommittee,
you will notice what has been accomplished during the
year towards the completion of our Hospital buildings.
Seven years ago the foundations of this noble pile w.ere be-
gun, and we congratulate the State, that year by year the
work has gone on, and now only one more appropriation
is required to finish the north section, return and hall.
This will complete the plans adopted for the Minnesota
Hospital for Insane, and present a frontage of more than
800 feet, consisting of a central edifice four stories in
height, with two sections, two returns, and a hall on the
south of the central building, each three stories in height,
for female patients, and the same on the north for male
patients. In all their arrangements and appointments, we
regard these buildings as admirably adapted for the hu-
mane ends for which they have been erected.
We have carefully estimated the amount necessary to
complete these buildings, and respectfully ask an appro-
priation therefor, namely :
To finish north section, return and hall $47,500 00
Tofumiah the same^ 6,000 00
Ctaa maddnezj and fixtures for all the buildings 8,000 00
$66,600 00
Digitized by VjOOQIC
6 ANNUAL KEFOKT.
For cnrrent expense appropriation, we need 987,500.
This is for an average of 421 patients, during the year, at
94 per week for each. This is fifty cents less per week for
each than was required last year. Let it be remembered
that at $4 per week, all repairs to buildings, officers^ and
attendants' salaries, clothing, fuel, medical supplies, eta,
are all included. This is as low as we can safely estimate.
In the Treasurer's Report will be found the financial
statement of receipts and expenditures.
We refer you to the Superintendent's report for details
of the internal workings of the institution. We think it
not inappropriate to insert here an extract from the report
of the November monthly visitation and examination,
written by Dr. J. H. Stewart, of St Paul, so favorably
known throughout the State :
^President of the Board :
'^I have the honor as well as the sincere pleasure to re-
port the result of my examination and inspection of the
Hospital for Insane. I cannot too strongly express my
satisfaction at the condition and management of the insti-
tution, and I congratulate you most heartily on your suc-
cess in securing so efficient a corps of officers as at present
represent you.
*^An intimate knowledge both from experience and ob-
servation of the conduct of eastern institutions of a similar
character enables me to say, that for professional adminis-
tration and executive ability as represented by Superin-
tendent Bartlett, assisted by Dr. Bowers, Rev. Mr. Eerr and
their immediate aids, the Hospital for Insane at St. Peter
is their equal ; facts which not only redound to their ere*
dit but are and ought to be a source of pride and gratifica-
tion to the entire State."
The Treasurer's report shows an unexpended balance in
current funds. It is all import.ant at the close of the fiscal
year Nov. 30, to have about this amount in the State Trea-
sury to run us through the three expensive winter monthst
as new appropriations are not available until March.

We commend this institution with its annual wants to
the favorable consideration'of onr public men and to the
generous sympathy of all.

ANNUAL REFOBT.
REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.
To the Board of Trustees:
Gentlbmsn : — Since the date of our last report, Novem-
ber 30th, 1873, the centre building and addition to the
south wing of the hospital have been completed and occu-
pied. The portico in front, and the connection with the
laundry in the rear of the centre, have also been finished.
The Legislature at its last session appropriated $40,000
to erect the walls of the addition to the north wing, and
prepare it for plastering and finishing another season. Af-
ter advertising, according to law, bids were received and
opened, and the contract awarded to Messrs. Breen &
Young of St. Paul, they being the lowest bidders, for the
sum of $38,950. This bid did not include foundation and
mason work that might be necessary below nine feet of
basement. As the foundation proved to be mostly stone
very little extra work was required, the cost of which,
with footings, was $852.76.
When the appropriation was asked for your committee
supposed the excavation for the basement would be mostly
soil, easily removed and at small expense ; but at a depth
of a few feet rock was found, and as it was necessary to
prepare the cellar early as possible for the contractors to
begin their work, the cost of this excavation was $1,443.49.
The material removed was deposited as taken out around
the other wings where grading was needed, and thus a
special appropriation for that purpose avoided. Several
thousand dollars were thus saved. It is proper to state
that the farm hands usually employed two teams together
Digitized by VjOOQIC
HOSPITAL FOB INSANE. 9
with the help of patients, have assisted in this work of
excavating and grading to the estimated amount of $1,800
during the year.
The walls of the new addition have been complet*ed and
the roof finished. The windows are also put in, thus en-
closing the building for the winter, according to contract,
and a month in advance of the appointed time. The work
is ready for your inspection. We feel that it will compare
favorably with the rest of the building.
To finish this addition and prepare it for occupancy,
your committee recommend an appropriation of 347,500
be asked of the next Legislature.
An addition to our heating apparatus was required, and
has been made, at a cost of a little more than $2,000. A
cistern, of 3,700 gallons capacity, has also been built, to
save water from the roof, at a cost of $1,388.85. The
boiler and pump-bouse at the spring has been enlarged
and repaired, and the boiler re-set, the expense of which
was $600. These three items are classed as ^^ extraordi-
nary," and have been paid from the current fund, because
your committe regarded them as absolutely necessary, and
there was no special appropriation for these purposes.
Mr. Harry Downs was employed, as before, to superin-
tend the work of building, and the portico in front was
built entirely under his direction.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Yon will notice under current expenditures a balance of

Oommittee to settle all accounts involved in building and
minor contracts, so that^ at the close of the fiscal year, only
$439.64 remained on hand. The amount belonging to the
current fund and in the State Treasury, is $26,476.09, all of
which will be needed by the first of March to meet accruing
bills. You will find a schedule of current expenses, pre-
pared by the Steward ; some items should be regarded as
^^extraordinary,'' namely, boiler, cistern, and steam fittings.
In the operation of so large an institution some such ex-
penses will necessarily occur, unprovided for by a special
appropriation, and can only be met from the current fund.
I would again notice the importance of having a sufficient
amount to the credit of the Hospital in the State Treasury
at the end of the fiscal year, to meet the expenses of the
costly winter months.

cattle. The same day it was decided to return him to the
county authorities, he eloped ; but he was retaken, tried
for stealing, convicted, and is now serving out his sentence
in prison.

The household has been remarkably free from sickness
throughout the year, and the number of deaths two less
than last year, and with sixty-eight more on a daily average.
There is not one patient to-day confined to the bed by
acute sickness. No case of typhoid fever has been devel-
oped in the house, and most of the deaths have been the
result of chronic disease.
The number recovered and improved, eighty-seven, com-
pares favorably with previous reports and with the number
of admissions when it is remembered that all classes are
treated, and that no one committed by the courts has been
rejected on account of the form of disease or mental
condition.
Thirty of those admitted had been previously connected
with the hospital. Some of these had been absent six
years, some two or more, and a few several months oifly.
On account of the 'crowded condition of the house patients
have been removed, occasionally, sooner than prudence
would dictate, and this is one cause of re-admission ; but
the necessity of accommodating all recent cases has been
urgent — hence the removals. There are also some cases
of recurrent mania who are well at intervals, and these can
spend their best days at home both to their own advantage
and that of their friends.
All patients belonging to this State are now supported
from the current fund, appropriated for that purpose, and
Digitized by VjOOQIC
HOSPITAL FOR INSANE. 19
have been since the 7th of last March, when the new law
relating to the support of patients took effect. [See Special
Acts of Legislature for 1874.] Since that time there has
been only one private boarder, a man from Dakota Terri-
tory, who has paid six dollars per week, the same as for-
merly charged for private patients within this State.
The appropriation last year for current expenses was
based on the expectation that the daily average through-
out the year would be 325. This estimate was too low as
the daily average was 341 and a fraction. With the same
increase for the coming year the daily average will be 421.
As the number inorecbses the cost of support for each
diminished', the expense of heating, lighting, and officers'
salaries remaining about the same. Estimating the daily
average for the coming year as above, 421, at a reduction
from last year's estimate, in the cost of each, of fifty cents
per week, the sum of eighty-seven thousand five hundred
and sixty-eight dollars will be required for current funds.
This Amount does not include any expective extraordinary
charge, and with the usual economy of expenditure will
probably suffice. But it will be necessary to provide some
additional heating apparatus to meet the wants of the new
portion of the north wing, and also for furniture for the
same; not less than $2,000 for the former, and six
thousand dollars for the latter purpose will be required.
On the first of June the centre building was so far com-
pleted that it was partly furnished and occupied, and the
addition to the south wing has since been finished and all
the female patients moved from the temporary building in
town. Their old quarters were immediately occupied by
men, thus relieving this department, partially, which has
been for a long time overcrowded. When the addition to
the north wing is completed, there will be apartments for
nine distinct classes in each wing, and room for all seeking
admission, it is hoped, for some time to come.
The immediate and pressing wants of the hospital are,
funds to finish the addition to the north wing, the walls of
which are now ready for plastering, and some provision for
lighting by gas. In regard to the first item the building
Digitized by VjOOQIC
20 ANNUAL REPORT.
committee will estimate and report upon cost. As to the-
matter of lighting, if either of the most approved methods
of manufacturing gas is adopted, the cost will not be less
than $2,000 exclusive of fixtures for burning. The^
expense of the latter would be greater or less, of course,
according to the selection made ; but would probably
amount to $1,500 more at a moderate estimate. But
the great and constant risk, by night, of accident from fire
by the necessary use of so many movable lamps filled with
inflammable oil, is a matter for serious consideration, and
the danger should be obviated if possible by any reason-
able expenditure.
FARM. ^
Farming operations have been carried on as heretofore
under the care of Mr. Wm. McFadden, and although the dry
weather and the red-legged locusts, commonly called ^ass-
hoppers, diminished the crops to a considerable extent, the
results were encouraging, and the out-door exercise of the
patients assisting in their cultivation and gathering was
not the least item on the credit side to be considered.
The Steward's report shows the various products and their
value at a moderate appraisal. In addition to the regular
farm work and care of the stock, 2,035 days work have been
done by hospital teams and farm hands, assisted by pa-
tients, in excavating and grading about the hospital build-
ing and on the county road.
While the men have been thus engaged, the women
have not been idle; as the following list of aiticles made
in the sewing room will show.

The above list shows only a fraction, of course, of the
needle work actually performed by the inmates and the
attendants during the year, as no account of the daily re-
pairing is made.
Chapel services have been held every Sabbath, with a
few exceptions, by the several clergymen of St. Peter, for
which we again tender grateful thanks. Since July these
exercises, evening readings, and other entertainments
have been conducted in the new chapel on the third floor
of the centre building, a large and convenient hall.
We are again under great obligations to the publishers
of the following papers gratuitously sent to the hospital.
We hope to see the list enlarge yearly until every county
is represented by its local publication, as patients prefer
to read the news from their own section of the State :

The members of church choirs in the city have furnished
music on several occasions, also the St. Peter band. Mr.
and Mrs. Asa Hutchinson, ^^ Tribe of Asa," gave lis a
concert, and the North Carolina Minstrel Troupe, also.
The young people of St. Peter, aided by Rotters' Band^
gave us an entertainment. The Hon. Freeman Talbot, of
Cleveland, two readings ; and Miss Grace L. White, of St
Paul, and Miss Julia Thomas, of New York, two readings
each, all of which were highly interesting and acceptable.
Ten dollars in cash was presented by Mr. Gtoor^e L.

I am happy to report a visit, in June^ to the hospital by
Miss D. L. Dix, the well and widely known friend of the-

poor and unfortunate. Her suggestions and words of en-
couragement will be long remembered.
Aside from the regular quarterly meetings of your Board
the Hospital has been visited monthly, and sometimes
more, by one member, usually accompanied by some pro-
fessional gentlemen by invitation. Those special inspectors
have made reports in writing which are duly recorded and
they are before you.
There has been no change in the staiff of officers and only
one among the subordinate officers. Mrs. H. 0. Porter,
who had filled the position of Supervisor of the female de-
partment for two years, with credit to herself and to the
satisfaction of the officers, resigned to .take a position in
another institution in this State.
It gives me pleasure once more to report ti^e continued
devotion of all the officers to the best interests of the hos.
pital and the welfare of the patients. To their watchful-
ness and that of the attendants, who have the immediate
.and constant charge of the inmates, and who perform their
duties with few opportunities for public approval and
encouragement, and often under the most trying circum-
stances, the excellent sanitary condition of the house, the
comfort of all, and the ultimate restoration of many of the
unfortunate persons committed here, is due.
Once more I thank you as a Board for your unflagging
interest in this charitable institution, for your personal
kindness, harmonious action, and constant support in the
responsibilities of its general superintendence.
With gratitude to that Providence which has protected
and favored us in the past, we look for future blessings
and enter on the duties of a new year.

REPORT OF DIRECTORS.
To Sis Excellency J C- JET. Davis^ Oavemor :
As required by law, we present you with our twelfth
annual report, showing the financial, industrial, education-
al, and domestic condition of our Institution to Dec. 1st,
inst, the close of our financial year.
Each branch of our schools is reported to be in a most
satisfactory condition — the officers, teachers and em-
ployees working harmoniously for the general good of the
Institution, and co-operating with us to carry out our gen-
eral plan of prudence and economy.
Since our last report we have built, completed, furnish-
ed and occupied our new building for the Blind, the con-
tracts for which we reported last year. At an expense of
about twelve thousand dollars, we think, we have furnished
the State as much pleasant and convenient room as can be
shown for that money in the land. It is a pleasure to visit
the Blind in their new, beautiful and quiet home, enjoying
their music and their work free from all disturbance.
This department, under the charge of A. N. Pratt, is do-
ing its work well.
We are happy to report this year, the industrial depart-
ment in the Deaf and Dumb division well organized and
in full operation. We have eleven boys in the cooper-
shop, thirteen in the shoe-shop, and nine boys and four
girls in the tailor-shop, besides thirty-two girls in the
general sewing-room of the Institution.
In order to make the industrial department more effec-
tive, the Superintendent has re-organized the order of ex-
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
10 ANNUAL REPORT.
ercises in the Institution, giving the school work one
extended forenoon session. The afternoons are devoted to
shop work, and the evenings to stady. This arrangement
meets our entire approval.
It is probably understood that the wings erected for the
use of the Deaf and Dumb were designed to accommodate
fifty pupils each. The boys' wing has now quite a large
excess of that number, and yet a large proportion of
proper subjects for our care are at home. It will take
three years properly and economically to build and finish
the main center of our building, and will cost one hundred
thousand dollars. Beyond the completion of this main
centev for the accommodation of the deaf mutes, this Board
has never provided in their estimates. This will complete
the plan upon which they commenced building, and it is
expected that this will furnish necessary room for many
years to come.
We cannot finish this structure on our plan of three
years building before it will be sorely needed, and before
many will necessarily be refused admission to the In-
stitution.
We ask, therefore, for putting in the foundation of the
main center, and procuring such material as may profitably
be obtained in advance of the main work, the sum of
twenty thousand dollars ; reminding you, however, that this
appropriation involves two supplemental appropriations of
forty thousand dollars each to complete the work thus
begun.
We feel that we have done our whole duty in disclosing
the wants of the Institution, and we confidentially leave
the matter to those who represent the tax-payers of the
State.
With gratitude that our records bear to you no tidings
of death or misfortune, we respectfully submit this and the
accompanying reports. On behalf of the Board of
Directors.
Attest: H, E. BARRON,
R. A. MOTT, President.
Secretary.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Director %:
Obktlbmen : — The past year, tlie twelfth in the history of
this Institution, has been one of more than ordinary pros-
perity and success. Through Divine favor, health has pre-
vailed in all our halls — the few cases of serious illness
yielding readily to the remedial agencies employed ; the
studiousness of the pupils; their willingness to comply
with the demands of discipline ; their diligence and faith-
fulness in the labor exacted of them ; the general preva-
lence of obedience and good order ; the intellectual im-
provement made by the various classes ; and the conscien-
tious recognition of the claims of both good morals and
religion, are some of the evidences of internal prosperity.
It is a source of unfeigned pleasure and devout gratitude
to God that another year's record is closed, and not a se-
rious case of discipline has occurred, and not a single
death among the pupils for now twelve years in succession^
While these facts indicate the internal condition and
prosperity of the Institution, there are others which mark,
with equal emphasis, the progress made in things physical.
The completion, furnishing and occupancy of the new
and separate quarters for the blind pupils ; the erection,
completion, furnishing and manning two new shops, giving
employment to all the deaf mute boys of suitable age and
capacity ; the proper adjustment of the hours ol intellect-

year, rendering, it is believed, the twelfth year in the his-
tory of the Institution, one peculiarly important in the
work it is accomplishing for the State.
The facilities now afforded the pupils both in the intel-
lectual and the industrial departments are much superior
to those enjoyed by former
GRADUATES.
On the 16th of last June three pupils, two deaf and dumb,
and one blind, graduated, receiving diplomas of the high-
est grade. They had completed a full course of study in
the Institution, and had in every respect acquitted them-
selves honorably, both in respect to character and intellect-
ual attainments.
FROM THE DEAF AND DUMB DEPARTMENT,
James M. Oosgrove, Hazelwood, Rice county.
John Martin, Watertown, Carver county.
FROM THE BLIND DEPARTMENT,
Maria E. Crandall, Blue Earth, Faribault county.
One of these is now a member of the National Deaf-Mute
College in Washington, pursuing a liberal course of study ;
another is at home, a comfort to his aged parents, and an
honor to the community in which he lives, and the third is
in the employ of this Institution, teaching in the Blind De-
partment.
The Institution can give no better evidence of the kind
of work it is doing for the State than the character and in-
telligence of its graduates. Other pupils have done well,
but these three have excelled. They will honor their Alma
Mater and the State that has educated them. James M.
Cosgrove is the first representative of this Institution in
College. Others are looking forward to collegiate honors,
hoping thereby not only to fit themselves for usefulness in
life, but to make it apparent that the deaf and dumb need
only the time and a favorable opportunity to enable them

to compete successfully with their more highly favored
brothers and sisters. The time will soon come when the
State can point with satisfaction and pride to those who
have been educated here, and find in them citizens who
have a grateful remembrance of the benefit they have re-
ceived at her hands.
ADMISSIONS.
One year a^o, the south wing was opened for the first
time for the reception of pupils. A large number re-
sponded to the letters of admission sent out, and the build-
ing was nearly filled. It became apparent that it would
be impossible to receive so large an accession this year
without increased accommodations. Moreover, it has been
apparent for some time that it would be greatly to the ad-
vantage both of the deaf and damb, and the blind, partic-
ularly the latter, if they could be accommodated in sepa-
rate buildings.
These two facts led to the effort which has resulted in
the erection of the new and separate quarters for the blind
pupils. This separation having been accomplished, the
rooms formerly occupied by the blind were thrown open
to the deaf-mutes. In consequence of this, all applioanU
for admission, of suitable age, have been received. Just
who these deaf-mute applicants were, and where they are
from, will be seen by examining the following table :

Twenty-one new pupils have been admitted to the Deaf
and Dumb Department, and one re-admitted to enable him
to complete his course.
Their average age is tkirteen. Of the new comers five are
semi-mutes. This is nearly one-fourth of the whole, a larger
proportion than ever before. As a rule about one-tenth of
the pupils admitted are semi-mutes.
Hennepin, Sibley, and Wright counties, each send three
pupils ; Goodhue and Rice each two, and nine counties
more, one each. Hence it appears that the admissions
represent thirteen different counties, and one has been
received from the State of Wisconsin.

There have been other applications for admission, but
age, health, and mental condition have indicated that they
had better wait another year.

Very nearly one-half of the new pupils admitted this year
are Americans, while last year, out of thirty admitted,
more than three-fourths were of foreign origin. Our records
for eleven years indicate that a little more than one-half
of the deaf and dumb admitted to this Institution were for-
eign born — the Germans and the Irish being the most nu-
merous.
The general character and natural ability of the new pa-
pils this term, compare very favorably with those of former
years. This might be inferred readily from the fact that
so many of them had their hearing for several years.

Judging from the records of the last three years, dea
ness is on the increase in Minnesota. The causes assigned
indicate accidental rather than congenital influences.
During the first ten years of this school not a case of deaf-
ness from spotted fever, or cerebro spinal meningitis, ap-
peared; but during the last two jeaxs Jive semi-mutes have
entered the Institution, who lost hearing by that terrible
disease.
Similar facts, of a more startling nature even, appear
from the records of other States. To the prevalence of
this disease to a large extent may be ascribed the increase
of deafness, and particularly the increase of semi-mutes in
the State of Minnesota.

One year ago it was estimated that accommodations
would be needed for one hundred deaf and dumb, and
twenty blind, pupils. The actual demands exceed the es-
timate in both departments. This does not result from ap-
plications deferred, as was true two years ago, nor from any
special effort made to increase the number of students. It
indicates the natural increase, and the demands the Insti-
tution must be prepared to meet annually. On another
page of this report will be found a table giving the names
of uneducated deaf-mutes in the State who have not at-
tended school. By glancing at this table, it will be seen
that there are eighteen blind, and seventy-one deaf-mute
children in the State who have not been to school. Some
of them are expected to enter next term, but should two-
thirds, or even one-half of them, ask for admission, there
would not be room to accommodate them.
Take another view. Examine all the statistics at hand,
make every reasonable deduction for inaccuracies, and it
is impossible to show that we have at school over three'^
fourths of the children in the State who ought to be edu-
cated. Touching this subject, would it not be well to ask
the Legislature, this winter, to make provision for reliable
statistics concerning the deaf and dumb, and the blind, ia
connection with the State census of 1875 ?

This would enable the Institution to prepare tabulated
lists of both these classes, as the Statutes require. I most
earnestly recommend such a course.
f
TEACHERS AND GLASSES.
At the present time there are seven classes in the deaf-
mute department, averaging a little over fourteen pupils
each. There are seven teachers, three males and four fe-
males. Three of these, two males and one female, are semi-
mutes, well qualified by education and experience for their
work. One is a speaking and hearing gentleman of consid-
erable experience, and well acquainted with the methods
employed in teaching the deaf and dumb, both in England
and America. One is a graduate of this Institution two
years ago, and two are speaking and hearing ladies whose
experience in this kind of work is limited to what they
have seen and learned within the last three months. Hence
it will be seen that the corps of instructors employed com-
bines the influence, experience, and tact of intelligent men
and women, who, from their own condition, are able to
sympathize with the pupils, with the culture and refine-
ment of those in both sexes who have all their senses.
The classes, with one exception, are graded, not accord-
ing to age, time in school, or sex, but according to intelli-
gence. Each class contains pupils of both sexes, and hence
derives whatever benefit arises from the co-education of
the sexes.
A single class is composed of semi-mutes — ability to speak
and read from the motion of the lips is the basis of classi-
fication here.
The teachers, each and all, associate more or less with
the pupils outside of school hours, and take am interest in
them, their studies and amusements, thus giving the chil-
dren much of the influence and enjoyment of home and the
family circle. The beneficial effiects of these mutual social
relations were never more happily illustrated here than at
the present time. The teachers, the matrons and steward
are all trying to do their best, both in and out of school. I

commend both their work and the spirit in which they
work. They are always ready to extend a helping hand to
a pupil, or do anything that is for the good of the Institn-
tion.
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
About fonr. years ago a small cooper-shop was opened
and manned, giving employment to ten deaf-mute boys.
Up to the present time they have manufactured about 14,-
000 flour barrels. This shop continues to be self-support-
ing— even better than this, it yields an annual revenue of
a hundred dollars, or more, over and above all expenses.
This small shop, however, gives employment to only about
one-sixth of the boys. Hence has arisen the demand for
more shops — a demand which, happily, has been met
during the past year. After years of patient waiting and
planning, shops for shoemaking and tailoring have been
opened. They are well manned ; well equipped ; presided
over by practical men, and already, after less than a
month's trial, give evidence of their ability to do good
work just as soon as they have obtained the necessary ex-
perience.
The systematic employment and instruction of the deaf-
mute girls in household and needlework, have been made
much more thorough and eifective this term than ever
before.
Besides making and repairing many articles of clothing
for the pupils themselves, they have made nearly all the
bedding required to furnish the new quarters for the blind.
They have repaired and made many articles for Institution
use, anticipating the wants of the new pupils admitted
this fall.
Besides this, all the girls, in turn, are employed more or
less at common housework, except washing and scrubbing.
In all the departments of labor the pupils, as a whole, have
shown a commendable spirit, and tried to do their work
well and promptly. By the testimony and experience of
former graduates, they learn thttt these industries are of
real value to them, and they try to make good use of their
Digitized by

THE DEAF AND DUBIB, AND THE BUND. 21
opportunities. The practical importance of these indus-
trial schools, in which the pupils are taught to knit, sew,
cobble and cooper, is hardly second to those in which they
learn to read, write and cypher. The pupils themselves
and their parents do not all regard them thus, but it is be-
lieved that the experiment, when fairly tried, will satisfy •
them on this point. It is gratifying to know that, in many
instances, parents have manifested their high appreciation
of these industries, and value more highly the Institution
on account of them. They may add somewhat to the ex-
pense of educating these children, but they make their
education much more practical and valuable.
HOURS OF STUDY AND WOBE.
When the present term opened, Sept. 9th, the plan of
two sessions per day, one intellectual and the other in-
dustrial, was adopted. The short time it has been in
operation is sufficient to demonstrate the wisdom of the
plan, when there are shops enough to give employment to
the boys, and household and needlework for the girls. The
order for a single day may be seen by the following

THB RBCEHT CONVENTION.
July ISth, 1874, a large convention of Directors, Super-
intendents, Principals, and Teachers, of the Deaf and Dumb
throughout the United States and Canadas, numbering
over one hundred and fifty, assembled at the Ontario In-
stitution, Belleville, Canada. For nearly a week they were
in session, listening to the reading of papers, and discus-
sions on topics pertaining to the education, care, and dis-
cipline of the deaf and dumb. This Institution was repre-
sented by delegates, agreeable to your vote passed at the
regular meeting in July. It is due to you and the friends
of this Institution in the State to say, that of all the plans
for improvement, and the recent methods of instruction
adopted — as set forth in that convention — a goodly num-
ber of them are in use in this Institution. If we do not
carry some recent movements, or methods of instruction,
so far as others do, we strive to take a sure and safe course
by adopting the golden mean, as becomes our resources
and our youth.
The convention comprised both broad culture and large
experience, and great good must flow from it to the varioas
Institutions represented.
In due time I hope to be able to lay before you the
printed proceedings of the convention.
THE BLIND DEPARTMENT.
As already indicated in this report, upon the opening of
the present term, the blind occupied their new quarters*
The pupils were not only well pleased, but delighted at
the idea of having accommodations and a school by them-
selves.
They have been under the immediate care, instruction
and discipline of Prof. A. N. Pratt, formerly a teacher in
the deaf-mute department, who has given himself to the
duties of his position with untiring zeal and devotion. In
this spirit also Miss Lydia Austin, matron of the blind, has
labored day and night. As Mr. Pratt knows so well by
daily, personal contact, the present condition and wants of
Digitized by VjOOQIC

the blind department, the following communication from
him will give you his own ideas concerning this school,
and I most respectfully recommend for your favorable
consideration the point he makes in reference to the im
pprtance of trades for the pupils of this department:
"During the past year there have been twenty-three pu-
pils in the blind department. One graduated last June,
and is now a teacher in this Institution.
There are now twenty-one pupils in school.
Ten have been admitted since the opening of the present
term, Sept. 9th, 1874.
The new building is well heated and ventilated.
So far, the health of the pupils has been remarkably
good.
The course of study is much the same as that pursued in
our public schools. The highest classes are under my su-
pervision. The other classes are taught by Mr. John J.
Tucker and Miss Maria Crandall, both of whom graduated
from this Institution. The regular hours of school are from
9 a. m. to 12 m., and from 2 to 3^ p. m. Also, an hour in
the evening is devoted to study under the supervision of
one of the teachers.
Instruction in music is given to all who are capable of
receiving it. The Institution has the following named in-
struments : two pianos, a parlor organ, two violins, a viola,
violoncello, guitar, cornet, flute and piccolo.
The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Tucker, meets
every morning, except Sunday, for practice. It consists of
three violins, viola, violoncello, and piccolo.
The class in vocal music, taught by Miss Crandall, meets
daily.
Miss Cora Shipman also gives this class instruction for
an hour, once a week.
Time is allotted each pupil for practice on the piano
and other musical instruments, regularly.
In Miss Lydia Austin, the Institution secured a thor-
oughly competent woman to fill the diflScult position of
matron.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
24 ANNUAL REPORT.
In reference to the importance of trades for the blind, I
desire to say : There are many pupils who have no musical
talent, hence are not capable of receiving a musical edu-
cation, and consequently are excluded from this as a
means of support.
The boys and girls are both taught to make fancy arti-
cles of bead-work. The girls also do plain sewing and
make beds.
My experience teaches me that the most discipline is re-
quired for those pupils who have the most unoccupied
time. Furthermore, it seems to me that education and
occupation are both essential to good citizenship. Trades
ought therefore to be taught the blind pupils as soon as
In conclusion, I s^m happy to add, that the officers of the
blind department are working harmoniously, and, I trust,
successfully."
CURRENT EXPENSES.
Fidelity to the cause of deaf-mute education in Minne-
sota, and the interests of this Institution, require that I
should call your attention to the funds needed for current
expenses.
For the ensuing year we have $26,000. This was pro-
jected on the basis of one hundred pupils in both depart-
ments, at an expense of $260 each per annum. Instead of
one hundred present, there are in actual attendance at
this writing, one hundred and twenty-two. By another
term this will be considerably increased. An increase
next fall, in proportion to that for the last two years, would
make our attendance in both departments nearly one hun-
dred and fifty.
It is more expensive educating the blind than the deaf
and dumb. In their present quarters the blind cannot be
properly cared for and educated at the rate of $260 an-
nually per capita. With a larger number in attendance
the rate may be diminished somewhat.
The question then presents itself, '' Can the work of the
Digitized by VjOOQIC
THE DEAF AND DUMB, AND THE BLIND. 25
Institution, the ensuing year, be properly carried forward
with the funds provided ?"
I lay these facts before you for your careful considera-
tion, regarding it as duty and the part of wisdom to look
ahead, and prepare for emergencies that are sure to arise.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
The County Superintendents who have so kindly aided
us by laying before the parents of the deaf and dumb, and
the blind, in their respective counties, the object and aim
of the Institution, and by writing to the Superintendent in

CONCLUSION.
By thus briefly reviewing the Institution work for the
year — as has been done — and by laying plans for the
future, you can hardly fail to be impressed with the grow-
ing magnitude of the interests intrusted to your watchful
care.
Moreover, it cannot have escaped your notice how many
things must arise every year to perplex and^embarrass the
officers in immediate charge of «o many and often conflict-
ing interests, and how much they need your sympathy,
counsel and support, that they may be incited to act from
the purest motives and with the greatest fidelity. The
past is fraught with many a lesson of wisdom and exper-
ience by which we would profit ; and the future we would
not dread, relying, in all matters of policy and importance,
upon your wisdom in counsel, and your prudence in action,
and looking daily to Him, who alone is able io make the
humblest effort an act of beneficence.

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
To the Board of Directors :
Gentlemen: — As Physician of the Minnesota Institation
for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind, the
undersigned would respectfully report that the sanitary
condition of the Institution, during the past year, has been
yery good, considering the amount of sickness throughout
the country.
It is unreasonable to expect the Institution to be more
exempt from diseases of all kinds than the best regulated
families in the State. It is a fact that we have had some
severe cases of sickness during the year, but only such as
have been prevalent elsewhere, but with the blessing of
Qod on the remedies employed, and the care bestowed, all
have recovered. From the commencement of the Institu-
tion— twelve years ago — to the present time, not a death
has occurred within its walls — reason enough this for de-
vout gratitude to Him who has so abundantly blessed the
Institution.

TERMS OF ADMISSION.
I. The Institation is free^ and open to all the deaf and
dumb, and the blind, in the State, between the ages of ten
and twenty-five^ who are capable of receiving instruction.
The only charge is for incidental expenses.
II. All applicants for admission should be in good
health, free from immoralities of conduct, and from offen-
sive and contagious diseases.
III. Application for admission, and all letters of inquiry
concerning pupils, should be addressed to J/L. Noyes^
Faribault^ Rice County^ Minnesota^ Superintendent of
the Institution, and to avoid any unnecessary expenses or
disappointments, applicants, before leaving home, should
obtain a written communication from the superintendent,
certifying that application has been made, and stating the
time when the Institution will be ready to receive them.
IV. The ^commencement of the term is the only proper
time for the admission of pupils, and none will be received
at any other time except for the best of reasons. The
term commences on the second Wednesday of September,
and continues forty weeks.
V. Applicants, and all pupils returning at the begin-
ning of the term, should come well supplied with clothes
* The preient term olosei Jane 16ih. and thd next eommenees September 8th, 1875.

— at least two suits for summer, and two for winter use,
and three towels — ^in a good trunk, and every article
marked in the name of the owner.
VI. Five years is the regular course of instruction, and
all who are admitted should remain this length of time,
except for reasons satisfactory to the superintendent. At
the expiration of the regular course, a special course of
two years may be added, upon the recommendation of the
superintendent, and the approval thereof by the board of
directors.
»
VII. There is but one vacation in theyear, commencing
on the close of the term in June, and continuing to the
SECOND Wednesday of September.
yUI. No provision is made for boarding pupils at the
Institution in vacation, hence parents and guardians of
pupils should be particular to make arrangements to con-
vey their children home at the close of the term, and in-
form the superintendent of the same, at least two weeks
before the school closes.
A small sum of money, not less than five dollars, should
be deposited with the superintendent, for incidental ex-
penses, such as repairing clothes, boots and shoes, pro-
viding text books, postage, stationery, and the like.
No parent or guardian should remove a pupil during
term time, without first consulting the superintendent.
It is specially important that parents be particular to
return their children /?r(?mjt?^/y at the commencement of
each term. The superintendent will endeavor to make
arrangements with the different railway companies, by
which pupils going home and returning promptly at the
time named above, will be conveyed at half fare^ while at
other t\me% full fare may be demanded.
When an applicant comes to the Institution, some per-
son should accompany him prepared to give the following
information, unless previously rendered, or bring, in writ-
ing, definite answers to these questions, to-wit:

SPECIAL NOTIC£.
All letters, or packages, sent to members of the Institu-
tion, should contain the words " Minn. Inst, for the Deaf
and Dumb," or " Minn. Inst, for the Blind," as the case
may be, for a part of the address, in order to secure prompt
delivery.
The papils are required' to write home once a month,
and may write oftenerif desired.
Letters are written for those who cannot write them-
selves.
Parents who desire to furnish their children with spend-
ing money, are advised to deposit it with the Superintend-
ent, who will keep account of the same, and endeavor to
secure both safe keeping and proper expenditure. The
Institution cannot be responsible for money sent directly
to the pupils. Express packages, or money to the amount
of fifty cents and upwards, when sent to the Superintend-
ent, will be duly acknowledged by mail.
The Institution is not responsible for the safety of pupils
while traveling to or from the Institution, or in case of tru-
ancy. All reasonable assistance in such cases, however,
will be cheerfully rendered by the officers of the Institu-
tion.
The parents and guafdians of pupils will please bear in
mind that there is no vacation, or recess, of school during
the holidays ; hence they should not expect their children
home, or encourage their going at this inclement season of
the year.
The Terms of Admission require parents to consult the
Superintendent in regard to a pupil's absence, even for a
few days.
Careful attention to the above will be of special service
to the pupils and the officers of the Institution.

SESSION, 1875.

REPORT.
State of Minnesota, )
Office of Railroad Commissioners. \
His Excellency'^ Gushman K. Davie^ Governor:
Sir: — The act of March 6th, 1874, creating a Board of
Railroad Commissioners, requires the commissioners " on
•or before the first of December in each year, to make a
report to the Governor of their doings for the preceding
year, containing such facts, statements and explanations
as will disclose the actual workings of the system of rail-
road transportation in its bearings upon the business of
the State, and such suggestions in relation thereto as may
to them seem appropriate."
In compliance with this requirement of the law, we re-
spectfully submit this, the first annual report under the
law of 1874.
The law of 1871 which provided for the appointment of
a Railroad Commissioner, and prescribed his duties, con-
ferred little or no power on the Commissioner beyond that
of compiling statistics in regard to railroads, investigating
their affairs and reporting the information obtained to the
Legislature. The three annual reports of the Commissioner
under the law of 1871, contain a large amount of valuable
information as well as discussion of the important ques- .
tions bearing upon State control and regulation of rail-
roads, making the reports permanently valuable as works
of reference, and rendering unnecessary the enlargement of
Digitized by VjOOQIC
4 ANNUAL REPORT.
this report beyond a succinct statement of the actions of
the Commissioners under the present law, with such sug-
gestions in regard to it as experience would seem to war-
rant.
The important changes under the law of 1874 were, the
creation of a board of three commissioners, and conferring
on them power. "To make for each of the railroad cor-
porations doing business within this State, on or before the
first day of August, 1874, a schedule of reasonable maxi-
mum rates of charges for any and all distances, for the
transportation of freights of all kinds and quantities, and
passengers and cars on each of said railroads, as well as
reasonable maximum rates for receiving, handling and
delivering freights and cars received by them for trans-
portation."
The commissioners are required to change and revise
such schedules as often as circumstances require. " Sche-
dules so made or revised are to be deemed and taken in
all the courts of this State as prima facie evidence that
the rates therein fixed are reasonable maximum rates of
charges."
■ The statute follows the principle of the common law,
which requires equal and reasonable rates, and provides
a practicable remedy for abuses by changing the rule of
evidence, throwing the burden of proof on the railroad
companies, who have the evidence at hand of the cost of
service, &c.; while to a private party who may complain
of unjust exactions the difficulty of getting such proof is
almost insurmountable. It leaves the ultimate determina-
tion of what is reasonable or unjust to the courts and
juries.
Prohibitions of unjust discriminations and penalties for
violations of the law, were prescribed in the act.
The undersigned were commissioned under the law and
were duly qualified and organized as a board in the latter
part of the month of March.
They entered upon the discharge of their duties by a
personal examination of most of the railroads in the State,
and by conferences with the officers of the companies, as
Digitized by VjOOQIC
RAILROAD CX)MMISSIONERS. 6
^ell as with shippers and business men generally along
the several lines of road, to the end that they might intel-
ligently and justly determine and establish reasonable
maximum rates of charges for transportation.
EVILS TO BE REMEDIED. *
The result of these preliminary observations and in-
quiries, which occupied the months of April and May, was
the belief that largely the evils of railroad management
complained of in this State have been unjust discrimina-
tions, from competition between roads at certain points
w^here rates were reduced, and excessive charges at the
more numerous non-competing stations. That it has not
been so much a cause of complaint, that the aggregate
charges and revenues of the companies were too great, as
that the above discriminations have been made, and the
imposition of excessive charges by one road on freight
transferred from another road in order to induce the car-
riage of freight over the whole line of one road, even
though that was the longer route, to the best market, or
led only to an inferior market. To these causes of just
complaint should be added that of railroad companies by
their officials engaging, directly or indirectly, in the traffic
— buying and selling — of commodities, which cannot be re-
garded as a legitimate function of transportation compa-
nies.
UKREMUNERATIVE CONDITION OF MINNESOTA RAILROADS.
In determining reasonable maximum rates for the trans-
portation of freight and passengers, the commissioners
found that they could not be guided by any rule of remu-
nerative interest or dividend on the legitimate cost of
roads and the expense of maintenance and operating them,
for the reason that the tariffs established by the companies
themselves, excepting the Kiver division of Milwaukee &
St. Paul company, have not produced revenues that were
^t all remunerative. Of those companies having lines
Digitized by VjOOQIC

wholly within the State, two are in the hands of receivers^
three others have defaulted in interest upon their debt, and
two have resorted to funding interest for a term of years^
while the remainder of the roads within the State have
maintained their credit by continued assessment upon
stockholders in one form or another. The lines within the
State constituting parts of lines beyond the State, are en-
abled to lean for support on the longer lines, having larger
traffic in the older States, to which they belong.
The newness of the roads, in this State, having light
traffic from the sparseness of population in our large terri-
tory, many of the Toads extending into the scarcely yet
settled western and northern frontiers, sufficiently accounts
for the small revenues of the railroad companies.
PREPARATION OF SCHEDULES.
In view of these facts, it was left to the commissioners^
guided in the main by the rates previously charged by the
companies, reduced and modified where shippers gave evi-
dence of higher rates than seemed reasonable — to so
graduate rates in conformity to the law, in the schedules
they established, as not oppressively to reduce the reve-
nues of the roads and yet to effect material savings to the
people, and to do away with the evils of discrimination
which have been referred to.
The reductions which they mainly effected were in rates
of passenger fares, and freights on the great staples of pro-
duction of the State, grain and lumber ; these indeed con-
stituting more than three fourths of the business of the
roads.
The work involved in preparing schedules for the sever-
al roads, was exceedingly difficult, involving an almost in-
finite number of complex considerations. The commission-
ers called to their aid A. J. Mead, Esq., of Winona, who had
a large experience in railroad transportation. The result
of their labors was embodied in schedules for the several
railroads in the State, published on the 24th day of July^
and a revision as to the First Division of the St. Paul and
Digitized by VjOOQIC
RAILROAD 00MMI88I0NERS. 7
Pacific Company on the 27th of August, which schedules,
in sheets, accompany this report.
There has been a general and substantial compliance
with the law on the part of the railroads, no well founded
complaint having been made of violations.
REDUCTIONS EFFECTED BY THE COMMISSIONERS' SCHEDULES.
From a table elsewhere, will be seen the reduction in
passenger rates, varying from ten to twenty per cent, on
seven of the railroads. This does not include the St. Paul
A Sioux City road and connections on which former rates
restore Dec. 1.
If these rates are continued one year, and the business
equals the last year reported, the aggregate reduction to
passengers would be $69,722.42.
It would be impossible to tabulate the innumerable
changes in freight rates, but we have approximately esti-
mated the reduction to shippers on the two articles of grain
and lumber at $230,000, for one year. We are confident
this is below rather than above the result*
PRO RATA FEATURE OF THE LAW.
The pro rata feature of the law, that provision which
forbids a greater charge for transportation over a given
distance on any line of railroad, than over the same dis-
tance elsewhere on the line for like freight or passage, is
shown in practice to be unequal and objectionable in cer-
tain cases where special circumstances, like those here-
after indicated, seem to afi'ord an exception to the general
and abstract jnstice of the principle. For example, the
First Division of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny, main line, extends from St. Paul to Minneapolis, and
thence to the western boundary of the State. The first
eleven miles of the road, between the cities of St. Paul and
* By analysis of the business of one of the roads it was ascertained that about 75 per
eent. of passencer eamincs was derived from sale of ftill fare tickets, 25 per cent, from
mileage and other reduced fares. By the same process the proportion of fireight eam-
iBts from gram and lamber was foand to be 75 per cent, of the whole.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
8 ANNUAL REPORT.
\
Minneapolis, has the local business (as well as the through
traffic of the whole main and branch lines,) of at least se-
venty thousand people. There is no other equal distance
on the road that has the local business of one-twentieth of
this population. It is obvious that the heavy traffic of the
frequent and crowded trains between these cities can be
done at less cost than the light business of the western
half of the main line, or, indeed any other part of the road.
The Company adapting its rates equitably to this difference
in cost, charged three cents per mile regular passen-
ger fare, and only about two and a-half cents per mile for
round trip tickets, between these cities, while the fare on
all other parts of the road was five cents per mile. The
Commissioners were satisfied that the rate of five cents per
mile on the whole road was not unreasonable, and estab-
lished that as the maximum rate. Under the law they
could make no exception or discrimination to secure a low-
er rate between the cities named. The Company, to pro
tect itself in the legality of the higher rate on the line, ge-
nerally advanced the fare on this first eleven miles to fifty-
five cents (from thirty,) single fare, and seventy-five cents
for the round trip, (from fifty cents.)
The conclusion forced upon the commissioners, from such
facts is, that any amendments to the law should be in the
direction of flexibility, that the rates may be varied to
equitably adapt them to the circumstances affecting cost
and profit of service on different parts of the same road.
Another example of the equitable necessity of varying
rates, is where water transportation comes in competition
with railroads, as during the season of navigation on the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. If the railroads along
these rivers must maintain an unvarying rate that will be
remunerative on all parts of their line, they are precluded
from competing for freight during the season of high
water and cheap river freights — the absence of this com-
petition from the railroads would tend to higher river rates.
The railroads can often carry return freights, rather than
have cars go empty, at rates that if uniformly maintained
would be very inadequate.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. 9
These and like facts and considerations, lead us to re-
commend such changes in the more rigid features of the
law as would allow adaptation of rates to varying and par-
ticular circumstances.
POLICY OP THE LAW.
It has seemed to the commissioners to be the true intent
and policy of the law of 1874 to prevent and remedy abuses
on the part of railroad companies rather than to assume
State management of the roads, and that the wiser course
is to interfere as little With the control and regulation of
the roads by their owners and managers as is consistent
with the prevention and correction of any abuses.
This State having so early in the history of its railroads
asserted its rightful power to so far regulate and control
these indispensable and beneficent agencies of material and
social development, as to protect the people from evils and
oppressions that are felt in older communities, the success
and usefulness of the law may be regarded as largely con-
sisting in the mere fact of its afSrming and securing from
the railroad corporations acknowledgment of such author-
ity on the part of the State. The certain effect will be to
check and repress the growth of evils that have scarcely
any present existence here, but which the experience of
the older States demonstrates, are sure in time to develop.
ST. PAUL AND PACIFIC EXTENSION.
It is to be regretted that during the past year no work
has been done on the uncompleted portions of the St. Paul
& Pacific Railroad.
The limited extension of time by acts of Congress and
of the State Legislature, for the completion of this road,
renders it important that work should speedily be re-
sumed. Comparatively little remains to be done to com-
plete the road to the international boundary. Assurance
is given that a road in the Canadian Dominion, down the
Red river to the settlement of Manitoba, will be corn-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
10 ANNUAL REPORT.
pleted in time to make connection with the St. Paul &
Pacific road.
Any legislation that will hasten and secure the con-
struction of this road will be a great boon to the settlers in
the Red River Valley, and largely contribute to the de-
yelopment of northwestern Minnesota.
WINONA & ST. PETER ADDITIONAL GRANT.
The act of Congress of March 3, 1865, which granted to
this State four sections of land per mile, in addition to the
six sections given in 1857, in aid of the construction of rail-
roads, has been carried into effect by the State regranting
the lands to the .several companies to which the original
grant had been given, except in the case of the Winona &
St. Peter railroad company. It is doubtless safe to say that
the failure to transfer the additional four sections to this
company was an unintentional omission. It was not dis-
covered until 1873, before which time, as successive sec-
tions of the road of this company were completed, the Gov-
ernor of the State, acting under the belief that the neces-
sary legislation had been had transferring the lands to the
Winona & St. Peter company, made conveyances of the four
sections in common with the six sections of the original
gran(. The company undoubtedly believed that the grant
inured to them, and were thereby induced to continue the
construction of their road to and beyond the western bound-
ary of the State. The lands must revert to the United States
unless confirmed to the company that constructed the road
in aid of which they were granted, the terms of the act
being that the lands were to " be subject to the disposal of
the State of Minnesota for the purpose aforesaid and no
other." Good faith would seem to require that these lands
be confirmed to the Winona & St. Peter company on the
same terms that were made to other companies respecting
the additional grant of 1865.
It would be eminently proper that an adjustment be had
with this company of all pending questions respecting taxes
on lands sold or contracted to be sold, as well as direct taxes
Digitized by VjOOQIC
RAILROAD 0OMMI88IONERS. , 11
to the State on gross earnings, so that all lands heretofore
or hereafter contracted to be sold should be liable to tax-
ation from the date of sach contract; substantially as con-
templated by the act of 1865, relating to these subjects,
and placing said company, in these respects, on the same
footing as other land grant companies.
RETURNS OP LANDS SOLD OR CONTRACTED.
The lands belonging to the several land grant companies
are not liable to taxation until sold or contracted. One or
two of the companies now neglect and refuse to make any
returns for the past year of lands liable to taxation. There
is no provision of law which in express terms requires the
companies to make such returns. It is well nigh impossi-
ble for the proper oflScers to have the lands sold or con-
tracted from year to year properly entered for taxation un-
less the companies make full and exact returns. There
can be no doubt, we think, that the State has power to re-
quire, by legislation, returns from the companies necessary
for the enforcement and collection of taxes.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
LENGTH OP TRACK.
The whole length of railroad in the State at the end of
the year reported June 30, 1874, was 1,893 miles. This
does not include sidings or count as two roads one track
used in common by two roads, as in the case of Milwaukee
& St. Paul and St. Paul & Sioux City from St. Paul to
Mendota. (Since the 30th of June, and not reported, the
Wells & Mankato road has been completed, adding forty
miles, making the total length of the track 1,933 miles.)

COMPARISON WITH OTHER STATES.
How far short of an adequate development of railroads
there is in this State in proportion to our territorial area,
is shown by the following comparative statement:
Massachusetts has one mile of railroad to four and
7-10 square miles of territory.
Illinois has one mile of railroad to five and 38-100 square
miles of territory.
Ohio has one mile of railroad to seven and 7-100 square
miles of territory.
Minnesota has one mile of railroad to forty-three and
45-100 square miles of territory.
' It will be seen that Illinois has very nearly ten times the
extent of railroads in proportion to area that Minnesota
has.
CAPITAL STOCK A'ND DEBTS.
The total stock, as shown by the tables following, of the
railroads in this State, amounts to $31,740,060, making an
average, per mile, of road of stock for Minnnesota, of $16,-
767.00.
It will be seen from the reports that this is stock issued,
but it does not follow that it was paid for, or represents,
except in a few cases, actual capital expended in the con-
struction of roads.
The total funded debt of the companies doing business
in this State is $86,344,164.
The unfunded debt, $6,255,025^, making the total indebt-
edness $92,599,179, of which debt there appertains properly
to the lines in Minnesota, $68,410,963.
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad we have apportioned
the debt in proportion to constructed road in this State,
(there being no information on this point in report.)
This makes the average debt per mile of constructed road
in the State, $36,139.
The average of both stock liability and debt, being
$52,906.

dividends paid to amount of $301,455.85.

not show the whole liability for interest.)

REPORT
OF THE
ST. PAUL & PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.
New York, October 27th, 1874.
To the Board of BaUroad Oommissioners of the State of Minnesota, ^t. Paul, Minn.:
Gentlemen — I have receiyed a printed copy of the form of report which
yoa addressed to the President of the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad Com-
pany.
For the past year ending June 30th, 1874, the railroad and property of this
company, including its lands, have been in the hands of a Receiver appointed
by ''the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Minnesota," and
as said Receiver makes no report whatever to the officers of this company, we
are unable to furnish the information you require in the printed form of the
report.
The names of the officers of this company, and their residences, are as fol-
lows:
John N. Hutchinson, President and Land Commissioner Philadelphia, Pa.
S. Kennedy Cass, Treasurer and Secretazy New York.
No Salaries.
The Directors are :
John N. Hutchinson Philadelphia, Pa.
J. Gregory Smith St. Albans, Vt.
R. D. Rice Augusta, Maine.
Wm. G. Morehead Philadelphia, Pa.
Wm. B.Ogden «New York.
George W. Cass Pittsburgh, Pa.
We are also unable to furnish you with the amount of the capital stock of
this company outstanding, for the reason that at the time of the formation of
the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, First Division, under an act of
the Legislature of the State of Minnesota, that company was to retire a certain
amount of the capital stock of this company, and issue in lieu thereof the stock
of that company, and to what extent that has been done we are not informed,
nor has the same as yet been adjusted between the companies.

REPORT OF RAILROAD 00MM1SSI0NER8.
This oompany is without any bonded debt, bat has executed a mortgage to
secure fifteen millions of dollars ($15,000,000) of bonds issued by the Saint
Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, First Division.
The Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad Company has no floating debt.
Very respectfully,
S. K. CASS,
Secretary.
Office of the Secretary St. Paul & Pacific B. R. Co.,
28 Fifth Avenue, New York.
REPORT OF RECEIVER.
In August, 1873, the United States Circuit Court appointed me Receiver to
take chaige of the property of the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad Company.
At the time of entering upon the duties of Receiver, the Saint Paul and Pacific
Railroad Company had thirty-five (35) miles of completed road from
East St. Cloud to Melrose, which has been operated by the First Division of
the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad Company ever since ; also, found about
one hundred and four (104) miles of uncompleted road, with iron laid from
a point twelve (12) miles south of Glyndon to a point called Snake River.
This portion of the road has been completed, and trains, from December 12th,
1873, to June 30th, 1874, were occasionally run over it for traffic. Up to the
last mentioned date the earnings have been as follows :
From Dec 12, 1873, to Jan. 14, 1874
Month of May, 1874
Month of June, 1874

The numerous questions expected to be answered in your catalogue the Re-
ceiver knows nothing about, having never seen any accounts, books, or state-
ments as to the cost of building the road, equipment, operating expenses, the
issue of bonds, stock, &c, &c. The Receiver never had in his possession any
rolling stock that was supposed to belong to the company. What little we
have done in operating the line above referred to has been done by rolling
stock leased of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. We have kept no
account of train service or cost of doing the business.
Respectfully, &c.,
J. P. FARLEY.
BeoeiTer.
