For the sixth time a brief history of the work of the Minnesota legislature is offered to the public. Like its five predecessors this book is made possible by the financial support of those public-spirited citizens who united their efforts eleven years ago to finance the first of these undertakings, "The Minnesota 'Legislature of 1909," and to the many others who have since become interested in the work. During that eleven years many changes have taken place. Mr. Lynn Haines, who prepared and published the books in 1909 and 1911, went to Washington in 1912 to engage in somewhat similar work as Secretary of the National Voters League, and the present writer was asked to take his place. The personnel of the legislature has greatly changed. Only nine of the house members of 1909 are members of the house in 1919,-Adams, Bendixen, T. J. Greene, Haug- land, Hinds, J. G. Lennon, Nimocks, Putnam and Roden- berg-and only Greene and Putnanl have served continuously. Senators Peterson, Sageng and Geo. H. Sullivan were then members of the Senate, while Senators Carley, Hand- Ian, Lee, McGarry and Nolan were then House members. Great as has been the change in personnel, greater still has been the change in ideals There has been a great im- provement in earnestness, intelligence, moral character and sense of obligation. In 1911 the legislature was made non-partisan. Since then the party boss and the party .caucus have been less in evidence. Members have been more free to use their individual judgment. Whether or not this has been an improvement depends largely on the intelligence of the individual member. An ignorant or dishonest member may be held in line by a caucus for either good or bad. "> .i" ,411 honest, intelligent member is better off without a party boss or a caucus; and it is safe to say that the non- partisan election has resulted in a better and more inde- pendent group of men coming to the legislature. It is not generally true, as some have charged, that more self-seekers have come to the front; just the opposite: there has been a different sort of cooperation among the voters, and a better sort,-less party, more principle. Some of the same questions are still with us-equal suf- frage for women, temperance legislation, tonnage tax, pri- mary elections, corrupt practices acts, local legislation under the guise of general laws, especially

I 3 0307 00055 5675 -This booklet is dedicated to all the employees ofthe Department ofHuman Services, past and present, whose many years ofservice to the Department have helped improve the lives ofMinnesotans. April 15, 1998 1 Preface The work of the Department of Human Services has a long history in Minnesota, dating back almost to the inception of statehood. From the opening of the State Institute at Faribault in 1863 and St. Peter State Hospital in 1866, to the development and implementation of such programs as MinnesotaCare and the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), the Department has helped millions of Minnesotans and their families in need. The origins of the Departments programs almost exclusively began with the history of institutions in this State. Over the years, programs have evolved, taking form under the auspices of each successor; the State Board of Correction and Charities in 1883, the State Board of Control in 1901, the Department of Social Security in 1939, the Depart­ ment of Public Welfare in 1953, and finally under the name of the Department of Human Services, in 1983. Regardless of the title, the charge has remained steadfast, to serve the citizens of this State. This booklet provides a glimpse of our Department and its activities over those many years.

The idea behind the pro­ gram was to give one hundred and twenty Minnesota high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to see Minnesota government in operation. With a grant from the Minnesota Bicentennial Commission and the Minnesota Government Learning Center, URBAN CONCERNS WORKSHOPS INC. took six groups of twenty students to the Minnesota Capitol during the 1976 Legislative Session. The students had the opportunity to observe the Legislature in opera­ tion for one week, meet with state elected officials, Congressmen, Legislators, lobbyists, reporters, and legislative staff members. Representatives of both political parties talked with the stu­ dents and mock precinct caucuses were conducted. Each student also had the chance to visit with his or her legislator. With the success of the 1976 program, URBAN CONCERNS decided to continue the program even after the Bicentennial Celebration was over. Funded by the Minnesota Government Learning Center and individual contributors, the 1977 program was expanded. Even though the name remains PROJECT 120, one hundred and sixty Minne­ sota high school juniors and seniors will go to the Capitol in 1977. Instead of six weeks the program will run eight. More emphasis will be placed on what the students can do when they return home.

  • Inside the Minnesota Senate
    Inside the Minnesota Senate Frequently Asked Questions This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Secretary of the Senate as a response to the many questions from Senate staff and from the public regarding internal operations of the Minnesota Senate. We hope that it will be a valuable source of information for those who wish to have a better understanding of how the laws of Minnesota are made. Your suggestions for making this booklet more useful and complete are welcome. Cal R. Ludeman Secretary of the Senate Updated February 2019 This document can be made available in alternative formats. To make a request, please call (voice) 651-296-0504 or toll free 1-888-234-1112. 1 1. What is the state Legislature and what is its purpose? There are three branches of state government: the executive, the judicial and the legislative. In Minnesota, the legislative branch consists of two bodies with members elected by the citizens of the state. These two bodies are called the Senate and the House of Representatives. Upon election, each Senator and Representative must take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of this state, and to discharge faithfully the duties of the office to the best of the member’s judgment and ability. These duties include the consideration and passage of laws that affect all of us. Among other things, laws passed by the Legislature provide for education, protect our individual freedoms, regulate commerce, provide for the welfare of those in need, establish and maintain our system of highways, and attempt to create a system of taxation that is fair and equitable.

  • Results of Elections Attorneys General 1857
    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL 1857 - 2014 ------- ※------- COMPILED BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP ------- ※------- (2016) 1 FOREWORD The Office of Attorney General of Minnesota is established by the constitution; its duties are set by the legislature; and its occupant is chosen by the voters. 1 The first question any historian of the office confronts is this: why is the attorney general elected and not appointed by the governor? Those searching for answers to this question will look in vain in the debates of the 1857 constitutional convention. That record is barren because there was a popular assumption that officers of the executive and legislative branches of the new state government would be elected. This expectation was so deeply and widely held that it was not even debated by the delegates. An oblique reference to this sentiment was uttered by Lafayette Emmett, a member of the Democratic wing of the convention, during a debate on whether the judges should be elected: I think that the great principle of an elective Judiciary will meet the hearty concurrence of the people of this State, and it will be entirely unsafe to go before any people in this enlightened age with a Constitution which denies them the right to elect all the officers by whom they are to be governed. 2 Contemporary editorialists were more direct and strident. When the convention convened in St. Paul in July 1857, the Minnesota Republican endorsed an elected judiciary and opposed placing appointment power in the chief executive: The less we have of executive patronage the better.

  • FJ Bruce Larson -BL
    Francis A. Johnson Narrator Bruce Larson Interviewer July 24, 1973 Francis A. Johnson -FJ Bruce Larson -BL BL: First of all you mentioned that your father was born in Sweden. I'm just wondering what he may have told you about those years in Sweden. Do you remember anything in particular? FJ: Well, he often mentioned about his father, who was a sea captain on that large lake, Lake Vanern, largest lake in Sweden, and that he was gone for a month at a time. In other words, it took a month to make a trip, the trip that he made on the lake. Of course, his mother died when he was twelve, I believe, and his father died when he was seventeen. Then he went to work in the Liljedal Glassworks in that town... BL: Do you think his political thinking was influenced by his experiences in Sweden? Had he ever mentioned that? FJ: Well, not so much from his early life in Sweden, I think he was nineteen years old when he left there, but his life was molded mostly after he come to America. With cutting wood on the farm and hauling it twelve miles to the county seat to sell it to get money to live on, he used to organize the wood haulers to get a better price for their wood. And they would wait til late in the day to sell their wood, holding out for a better price. Then, of course, they'd have to unload it and go home whether they got a better price or not.
