A LURKING LEMON. 1f Manager Pendergast, of the creamery concern, is correct in his deductions—and known facts indi- cate that he is—farmers in the dis- trict tributary to Bemidji have un- consciously planted the seed for a large and juicy, but bitter iemon. Our friends the farmers may well ponder seriously before they permit the creamery to close its doors, as it must do if it can not obtain butter fat in sufficient quantities to make it a paying institution. It isn’t so much just how much the dairyman can get for cream as it is what he will get if the price boosting cream- ery is permitted to die, after having shot up the prices during the past few months. o Vvre ey @ (G L3 o e DTS Shall We Be “Suckers?” With an extra session of the state legislature costing only $25,000 the people of Minnesota are a big lot of suckers if they don’t insist on an ex- tra session to enact much needed legislation with regard to the rail- roads. Some other things might be remedied at the same time too. that don’t “smell” any too nice.—Geo. J. Silk in Pine River Sentinel. How About It, Bro. Halsted? Bros. Halsted, who publishes the Tribune in that thriving city of Brainerd where Governor Eberhart once made the assertion that he would call an extra session of the legislature to pass a reapportionment bill if necessary, does not warm up to the extra session talk. It appears to us that the governor’s assertion should come near enough home to the Brainerd editor to amount to something.—Walker Pilot. The Joy of Being Governor. This is the way Bob Dunn, in the Princeton Union, describes the gov- ernor’s present dilemma. Scene, Ex- ecutive office} time, any old day: Governor Eberhart: Wish to good- ness I had never made that rash promise at Brainerd last December —to call an extra session of the leg- islature if an equitable reapportion- ment law was not enacted at -the regular session, If I redeem my prom- ise I'm d- d, and if I don’t I'll be doubly d——d. Good Grounds for Complaint. The Duluth Herald and the Be- midji Pioneer are making a strenu- ous campaign for an extra session of the legislature. The Herald bases its fight on the need of increasing the tax assessment of the railroads, while the Pioneer is putting forward reapportionment as its main argu- ment for the session. Both of them are right. Either issue is in itself sufficient reason for the calling of the session and taken together should prove convincing enough to convince even Governor Eberhart, if he is amenable to reason.—R. V. Carr in Middle River Pioneer. Jim Doesn’t Want One. The Duluth Herald urges an extra session of the legislature for the pur- pose of enacting laws to increase tax- es on railroad property, and the Be- midji Pioneer puts forth a plea for such a session on the ground that the governor had pledged himself to call an extra session to pass an equitable reapportionment measure. In either of these things there is sufficient grounds for an extra session, but not enough weight yet to induce the present governor to issue a call for one. It is easy for little Adolph, hav- ing heard his master’s voice, to find excuses for not heeding the wishes of the common people. Devise some plan to get Jim Hill to ask for an extra session and it will be called in some hurry.—Holt Northern Light. Done Gone and Got “Cotched.” In his address before the delegates to the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association in Brainerd, last year, Governor Eberhart said: “If such a thing should be possible that reapportionment did not pass at the coming session, I will call a special session for the purpose.” As we all know, it did not pass, and the gover- nor is now apparently waiting to see if the delegates attending the meet- ing of the association in St. Cloud next December are going to insist upon it. This attitude of the gover- nor's reminds us of the story of the old man who told his boys not to lie, but if they did lie, be sure and not get “cotched” at it. The gover- nor is evidently waiting to see if he will be “cotched.”—La Porte News. Well Worth the Effort. But what is of first importance to the north is the move started by the Bemidji Pioneer to make reapportion- ment the special business of an extra session. A bill passed the House last winter and fewer total votes would need to be changed to pass reappor- tionment than to pass a gross earn- ings bill. Only one bill was considered{ last winter, the Hanson bill which was perhaps more satisfactory, coming up too late in the session. A reapportionment bill would be well worth the extra session and the governor could redeem his promise to Northern Minnesota by calling the session for that purpose, letting the other matters be taken up as desired. —A. W. Page, in Park Raplds, Hub- bard County, Clipper. Every Delegate Should Go Pledged. If the promise of the governor of Minnesota can be relied on (and we believe it can in spite of the aw- ful roasting he has been receiving from the papers of the State) there should be little difficulty in persuad- ing him to call an extra session of e 0000000000 0000066068060 0 © “STRIKE NOW FOR EXTRA SESSION” SENTIMENT & SHOWN TO BE STRONG BY NEWSPAPERS OF NORTH POPOOOPOOOOCOOVIVVOPPOVOOOOCOO®G® the legislature for the purpose of considering a reapportionment meas- ure. The Bemidji Pioneer has start- ed a move to put the matter up. to the governor of the coming meeting of the development association. If the demand is made sufficiently strong Eberhart will not refuse to redeem his pledge. He would not dare turn-down a practically unani- mous demand, because it would mean political suicide for him to turn his back on Northern Minnesota’s cry for justice. ,And if an extra session is called reapportionment will pass. Many the legislators who voted against it last session would be in line for it next winter for the simple reason that another election is close at hand and they are too wise to do anything to displease the people of the state at a time when they will be asking for their votes. Every del- egate should go to the. development association pledged to put the matter straight up to the governor.—Bau- dette Region. Reapportionment the Big Issue. The Duluth Herald, Bemidji Pio- neer and a number of other state pa- pers are vigorously advocating the calling of a special session of the leg- islature the coming winter to pass railroad legislation and a reappor- tionment bill. The Herald seconds the motion for an extra session called for this purpose if enough members of the legislature—both branches— sign pledges between now and Christmas whereby they will pledge themselves to vote for measures of this kind. Without such ironclad pledges an extra session would be a useless expense as wWe see no reason why the members would pass such legislation after having efailed so to do last winter. We do not believe it wise, at this time, to call a session to consider railroad legislation alone, but if a reapportionment bijl could be passed to become effective so that a complete new legislature could be elected next fall if the voters of the state were so inclined, then a special session would be a wise move. By that time the final decision will be rendered in the rate case and if the supreme court decides in favor of the railroads the senators.and represen- tatives who failed to safe-guard the interests of the common people can be weeded out and men elected in their place who stand ready and wil- ling to pass legislation that will re- sult in the railroads paying at least a fair share of the taxes of the state. —Ada, Norman County Herald War to the Hilt. At the Brainerd meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation Governor Eberhart said, “If the legislature does not pass a just reapportionment bill at the regular session I will reconvene them in ex- traordinary session for that purpose.’”’ Then the air was rent with cheer up- on cheer, some threw their hats in the air, others waived their arms wildly and Eberhart was pronounced “Adolph the Great;” but alas, little those delegates dreamed: that he was only gushing hot air. But those same delegates are now determined that Governor Eberhart shall make that promise good. Every man that sat in that convention hall that day will take his coat off and put his shoulder to the wheel and some- thing will move or something will “bust.” If Northern Minnesota is not en- titled to representation according to its population, then why should it be taxed? This is the very question that a great many years ago caused a peo- ple to rise as one man and declare for their just rights. They were Ameri- can and the people of Northern Min- nesota are Americans and as such we shall demand of the legislature equal representation with the southern half. ‘If the southern part of the state feels that it does not need the north- ern part then why not divide the state and le us govern ourselves and we will not have to bother them. Our interests are not identical with theirs and as long as matters continue as they are at the present time it will in all probability be war to the hilt. The time is now ripe to push this matter to a point where action will have to be taken.—Moose Lake Star Gazette. Scrambled to Square Themselves. “Some of the members of the last legislature who have records which are subject to more or less criticism are now anxious for an extra ses- sion,” says the Mora Times, Repre- sentative Henry Rines’ paper. “Un- doubtedly they have heard the rumb- ling of the coming storm, and want an opportunity to patch up their rec- ord for the next election.” The clock in the tower of Trinity church, New York, is 100 years old.
