Complete election returns are to be received at the Pioneer office on the night of election, the service of the United Press having been secured that the citizens of Bemidji may be provided with facts and figures con- cerning the state as well as the coun- ty and district elections. The office of the Pioneer will be open all night Tuesday and extras telling of the results at the polls will be placed on every household step early Wednes- day morning. Watch for the extra. By voting “Yes” on amendment No. 2 on election day you will make it impossible for three justices, a bare majority of the court, as it is now constituted, to declare a law unconstitutional. The new plan, which involves the increasing of the court from five members to seven members, will require five to concur to declare a statute unconstitutional. This provision makes for stability of government, and is well worth se- rious consideration by all voters; and increasing the size of the court won't increase its cost, for the two com- missioners will no longer be in of- fice. Friends of Justice George L. Bunn of the state supreme court predict that he will be elected Tuesday by one of the largest majorities . ever given a candidate for the bench in Minnesota. They base their belief upon the fact that organizations and newspapers of every shade of politi- cal faith are heartily indorsing him for election. His name appears up- on practicglly every ticket recom- mended by the press of the state, and he has been indorsed by nearly every attorney of standing’ in Minnesota, by the union labor papers, by the German papers and the Scandinavian papers. League a Success. One of the first fruits of the ac- tivity of the Municipal Reference Bureau in the General Extension Di- vision of the University of Minne- sota, was the organization of the League of Minnesota Municipalities. This is a co-operative association. of the cities, towns and villages of Min- nesota formed to furnish mutual help, assistance and advice. Municipal government is passing more and more out of the class of rule-of-thumb organizations. In this age of efficiency it is no longer con- sidered profitable for one city after another to go ahead repeating blun- ders already made time and again by other cities, and . performing experiments the results of which are already known elsewhere. There has been a need of some central organi- zation or bureau which would bring together, classify and tabulate the results of all sorts of experiments, whether successful or not, made by cities all over the country. Each city should be able to profit by the successes of others and to avoid fail- ures. The best way to do this seem- ed to be the formation of an asso- ciation or league controlled by the cities themselves, which would give an opportunity to the city officials to get together and exchange experi- ences. The Municipal Reference Bureau succeeded in forming such an organi- zation in Minnesota in the early fall of 1913. The league is now a little over a year old and has a member- ship of over one hundred cities. Each city pays annual dues in proportion to its population. Membership is held in the name of-the:city and not in the name of any official. The officials of these cities ‘make a large use of the Municipal Reference Bureau. The value of this cohesive organization is felt as soon as it becomes neces- sary to-undertake a joint movement in behalf of all cities. That is, it would be very much easier for an or- ganization of this kind to obtain needful municipal legislation from the state legislature. Once a year the league has a con- vention lasting for two days and in that convention questions of all kinds affecting city government and; administration are discussed. Ex- perts are present and read papers on various phases of city problems, and those who have had experience are always there to give the results of these experiences.
