RE-DISTRICTING THE COUNTY -/ Keen interest is being shown in the re- districting of Beltrami*{County and this paper has‘had numerous requests to out- line the new boundaries of commissioner’s glstnctg according to the views of certain: interested people. We are not attempting to do this, nor are ‘we going to do so.. i 4 "l‘}}x.s county has a good ‘board of com- ! . ‘missioners, . who know ‘the )ituation £ b t'horo_ugh]'y, and we have faith in their k Jjudgement to do what is best for the in- terests of the county as a whole. This much however, we do suggest, and that-is that the so-called Grygla country within ‘this ‘county should by all meéans have representation. ' From what we can gather, this section pays taxes of over $200,000, being the second. in payment of taxes. The Bemidji district is first and pays about $350,000. While they may not have the population we recall reading not long ago something -about “taxation without representation’ and a little celebration known as “The Boston Tea Party.” At any rate in our sopinion they are entitled to:a member on 4 lfilbogrd of county commissioners and we elieve that our present commissioners will Rly.give ‘this consideration. What they ‘do, we know, will be done.with the in- tent to mete out fairly to all concerned. i EDSON WASHBURN - Edson- Washburn, who has been Land Clearing Engineer for this county the past _year, leaves for other fields. Just where .. he is going has not yet been- decided. but indications are that he will not return to this county. «':We bespeak for Mr. Washburn the we}l wishes of this city and community in his 4 qutyre fields of labor and extend to him God speed and success. He has been faith- some, but on the whole we want to give _ our readers something not of: our own manufacture, but the ideas of the peaple in our community. : Come on, tell us what America needs. Two hundred words or less will be accept- able. Send it to the Editor of the Pioneer. — i HOW FARMING SHOULD BE DONE J. C. Morrison, of the Morris - Tribune, has come to the conclusion that the farm- ers are on the wrong-track entirely. They don’t specialize enough; they do not prac- tice division of labor; they act as though they still believe in the exploded theory that a man ought to work for his living. How long this fallacy is going to continue among the ruralites, it is hard to say. 1 GOOD WORK CANBY The little county of Steele, Minn., com- prising only twelve townships, had a dairy output of $2,226,631 in 1920, While Yel- low Medciine county, with twenty-six townships had a production of only $275,~ 481.
