Really it looks as if the "zone" system should apply to Minnesota.
That is, the state is so situated that no common condition exists all over it. Laws which apply in one part work a hardship in others. Hard and fast lines within the state are not applicable. The south half does not know how we live up here. And vice versa. An iron mine to them is a blank, the same as a corn field is to us up here. The zone system of laws might work benefits to both zones.
Game laws here would not fit there. Iron ore regulations there are seen in a different light than up here.
And these conditions will always obtain and should be met up with by our legislators.---Tower News.
