OFFPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROOERRDINGS AUTOCRACY WILL BE RESENTED. When Senator Borah of Idaho attacked the proposition advanced by Secretary Daniels of the navy to expend $600,- 000,000 for the “biggest navy,” the Idaho statesman referred to the heavy burdens that had been imposed on the taxpayers of the nation during the war, of the waste and extravagance in many instances, and asserted that the people would rise and resent the impositions upon them by incompetents if they con- * tinued to “grind them to powder.” The mandate issued by Postmaster General Burleson, re- ference to the government controlled telephone lines, is one of the most gigantic burdens ever imposed upon an Amencqn people. It increases the cost of long distance phone calls in Minnesota alone by from 100 to 300 per cent, when it was shown that the companies had been making good profits, earn- ing more by far for stockholders than Liberty loan bonds issued by the government. Protest by the peoples of ‘various states have been made. The insane mandate has been opposed vigor- ougly and strong resentment has been aroused at the added burden imposed on the loyal people, who have supported the government in its war activitis, many of whom have sacrified and suffered as a result. At the outset of the war the national democratic congress gave into the hands of the president the power to make de- cisions alone, to augment speed, but that power so vested has been turned to other channels now that war has ceased and is being used by many along autocratic and socialistic lines thaf have caused bitter comment throughout the nation. And some day the administration will hear the voice of the people in the national election. They are getting more than enough handed fo them by the powers that be. 0 INNOCENCE SETS PLANS AWRY The little incicient, wherein five red blooded lads of school age ‘planned and started to execute an innocent set of boxing bouts in a store basement, and charged ten cents for specta- tors, brings out more than ever the need of a recreation center for this class of Bemidji future greats and, for that matter, there should be a recreation center for young girls, yes, and ‘many of their elders, too. The boys, principals of the affair Friday night, are all good boys. . They are of the right stuff and parentage and their school teachers give them best of recommendation. They had a guper-supply of energy and progressiveness and were all . “pals,” What they wanted was a set of boxing gloves to enjoy themselves and the admission to the exhibition was for this purpose. Intent to go contrary to any law " or statute was foreign in their minds and they regret the outcome, resultant - from.their innocence. ot NOONAN WILL REPORT LEGISLATURE FOR “PIONEER.” We feel most fortunate in that William T. Noonan, editor and publisher of the Baudette Region, will write us a weekly letter for.the benefit of the readers and patrons of the Daily Pioneer, also the Weekly Pioneer, for Mr. Noonan is one of the livest ‘wires in th newspaper business in Beltrami county and Northern Minnesota. He has obtained the appointment of clerk ir; th house and sits right up in front where nothing can escape him. He is a fluent writer, a close observer and his style is a characteristic. He seems to get as much enjoyment hammering his typewriter as the people do in reading his stuff. His weekly legislative letter will be a feature of the Pioneer during the term of the session, and it will have a local flavor: Watch for it. v 3 : CAN'T YOU REMEMBER LONG AGO? The youngsters called before the municipal court and given fatherly advice by City Attorney Fisk, on the error of their way ‘in attempting to stage a paid admission boxing show, ‘needn’t feel for the moment that they have committed any grave offense. Few of us silvering heads but what have, some time or other, done the same thing, practically, or got our “foot into it deeper. Some day Bemidji will have a Y. M. C. A. for the youngsters in which they can get it out of their system. Why: not have a place to do it the right way? D 0 BEMIDJI PEOPLE CAN BE THANKFUL We don’t care what anybody says about the state safety commission, there is one thing at least that Bemidji and Bel- trami county has to be thankful and grateful for, and that is the order of the commission allowed the authorities. an oppor- tunity to clamp on the “lid” and eliminate:opposition to-in- dustry and progress during the strenuous war times, from which Bemidji emerged with a smile and a stouter heart to face trials of the reconstruction period. ————0 WE HOPE RESULTS SATISFACTORY Well the peace conference has gotten down to business in Paris and the world has all eyes upon the capital of France. We hope it will all end satisfactrilly to the nations-who are making the effort to insure future progress and peace in all nations of the civilized world.
