Why the howl? The voters of the city of Bemidji said what they wanted and it seems to hurt some persons because the new members of the city council, elected by the PEOPLE, don’t do as certain persons would have them. Of course not, and no one expected they would. One trouble seems to be that the “to hell with the people’” game has reached the end of its rope in Bemidji. It has indeed. L T00 DENSE T0 COMPREHEND We thought that when the election was over it would be recognized that the PEOPLE had expressed their will as to what they desired, yet it seems to have gone clear over the heads of some. If the game is to be continued what's the matter with tossing it in the air and letting EVERY- BODY take a slant at it. Some things would prove highly entertaining and interesting as well. If there is to be a continuance of attempts to hamper the city in its progress that’'s just what will happen one of these days, and that’s no “stem talk,” either. ' . HOW MUCH DO THEY PAYf . .--==" ¥ It would indeed be interesting to show up just how much taxes some 5! the }eipérs pay toward the support of Bemidji. Yet they profess to feel greatly aggrieved because they are not allowed to stick their claws into the pockets of others who pay the great Blilk of the city’s expenses and for what Bemidji has and hopes to have. They don’t care a continental what it costs others, just so long as they can ‘“‘get a piece of it” in some manner or other, it doesn’t matter how. - “ CAN YOU BEAT THIS ONE? 4 We have heard rumblings from some sources which profess to see what is chosen to term a “steam roller” in the new city council. Of course—the yelp again. Gosh almighty, a “steam roller” in the new city council? If what is in the city ¢Council now is a “steam roller” what would you call what has been in some of the city councils of the city of Bemidji? Alderman Bagley of the First with his 300 pounds, or maybe slightly less, and Alderman Joanis of the Fifth, with his slender proportioms, are next doors neighbors in their seats in the council chamber and the pair look like a picture of “before and after taking.” There has been some expression of belief that a bond issue would be a benefit to the city in cleaning up the “bridge” proposition. Perhaps that would be the logical thing to do. But undoubtedly the people would also like to know something about the “bridge.” If you haven’'t voted at the schoql election today, do so by all means. You have until 9 o’clock tonight. Go to the Central school and vote “yes” and that will mean better education for the children of all Bemidji. The school building in the Fifth ward has been condemned by the state. A new school for the Fifth ward is a dire necessity. Vote for the school. There's a pretty little axiom that goes with ‘‘Orange Day” and it is, “If at first you don’t suckseed keep on sucking till you do suckseed.” It certainly hurts some people like the ‘‘Dickens” to have to get their lunch hooks off the money of the taxpayers of the city of Bemidji. Today is ‘‘Orange Day” and no one presented us with an orange. Now if it was “Lemon Day” why—. Sure, you know. No person with the right spirit and intelligence will cast a vote against better schools for Bemidji. ONE OF HARTMAN'S HUSKIES | C THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SATURDAY. MARCH 10. 1917.
