Little work for Minnesota lawmakers
The Minnesota legislature met in St Paul to organize for the regular biennial session. No U.S. senator will be chosen this year and no major railroad measure is planned, aside from raising the gross earnings tax on railroads from 4 to 5 percent and reviving state control over railroad stock issues. Legislative reappointment, brewer saloon-licensing, county option, liquor regulation, a public utilities commission, extending direct primaries to state officers, and creating county agricultural schools under state aid will be considered, with liberal appropriations sought for educational, charitable and industrial institutions.

White convicts’ fate debated by Georgia prison board
Atlanta January 6 The Georgia State Prison Commission faces a serious problem over the white convict population. Counties refuse whites or large numbers, prompting debate on housing options and the potential purchase of a 6,000 acre farm to employ about 300 white convicts. Estimated cost exceeds $100,000 with upcoming funds from near beer taxes possibly covering only part of the need. The commission considers forcing counties to accept white convicts or funding a new farm at substantial cost, a decision needed before April 1.
