THE BEMIDUI DAILY PIONEER THE BEMIDJI- PIONEER PUBLISHING co. THE NEW HEAPPORTIONWENT BILL. Tt ofteén has been sald that diring the peril of battle a soldier feels: no alarm—that the real fright :comes when the bullets have sung their song and the smoke _‘sq ¢ fcleared away. This seems to have been the case with those senators who vio- lently opposed the Congdon reappor- tionthent bill and, blinded by the noise’ of ‘the conflict, ‘failed to: see, as they are now_beginning to see, that the crisis through which they have just passed may mean personal and party ruin. Be'that as it may, for ‘sonie reason some of the southern senators now appear to have suffered a change of heart and are applying themselves diligently to the task of formulating a reapportionment bill that may yet be enacted” into law by the ‘present session of the legislature. The Pio- neer is not optimistic over the out- A senate. that will deliber- ately snub the'governor, redicule the honest efforts of those men who had prepared a bill and then absolutely refuse to join in the effort to revise the measure, is not a senafe from which the people can expect a reap- portionment bill of reasonable con- come. struction to emanate. The frantic, and, if the issue were not so paramount, amusing efforts of the southern semators to bolster up a “party” as a matter of policy hardly seems likely to bring order out of the present chaos. It is said that the new bill will not grant the larger cities much additional repre- sentation, but that the north coun- try will be well taken care of, with especial assurances for the ‘ninth congressional district. For this so- licitude the ninth returns due thaiks but heartier thanks would have been returned had the senate been patri- otic enough to pass a bill when there was some ‘chance of its Becoming & law. It is readily apparent that the cities are going to demand that the constitution be taken into consider- ation and it provides for reappor- tionment on a population basis. And so the outlook for réappor- tionment bill is not, we believe, pro- mising. The present s will slip away without the most im- portant of all legislation having been enacted, leaving the north in a just session state of indignation. One of the ramifications of such a state of affairs will be the embarras- sing position in which Governor Eberhart will find himself. ‘He is on record as having promised to call an extra session of the legislature if a fair reapportionment bill is not passed. If he stands by his promise he is sure to be criticized on the ground that he is causing the state by the same legislature which refuses needless expense reassembling to grant reapportionment, ‘and if he doesn’t call the session he is apt to receive still more stinging criticism from this part of the state, on the ground that he hasn’t lived up to his promise. If he should reassemble the legislature and force through a bill it would mean an assured con- tinuance of his political power which | with his party crumbling as it now is, may fail when again put to the test. The real seriousness of thggovern- or’s position is pretty well illustrated by the haughty disdain with which his call, on the day before the senate voted on the reapportionment bill, was received by members of the sen- ate. The intense earnestness mani- fest by the governor in an effort to solidify his party and bring har- mony by perfecting a bill assured of passage. His call shows this. It read as follows: i “Dear Senator: | 1y requested to be present at a Repub- lican caucus of the Senate in my of- fice this evening at 8 o’clock for the purpose of considering the House re- apportionment bill. In view of;the convention pledges made by the Re- publican party, it seems necessary | that this caucus should be held so that the matter can be given the ful- lest consideration from a party stand- point and a definite plan of action agreed upon. This caucus-is, there- fore, important, and your preseiice s very earnestly requested. very truly, A. O. Eberhart, Governor.” You are earnest- Yours Only fourteen senators replied to this call.
