Tilson cf Connecticut, Re- leader in the house of representatives, publican ment until after the 1930 census. High as he is in the ccuncils of the party now in control of the government, Tilson doubtless knows what he’s talking about, for the present at least. Without stopping to give the subject a little con- There are, as congress is constituted today, 435 members of the lower house. The theory is that the population is divided by 435 and a congressman represents-each quotient. Obviously, as the country grows, there will be sectional variations, unless the whole country in- creases in population at the same relative rate, which is not to be expected and which it does not. The constitution’s framers accordingly provided for a reapportionment, following each decennial census, which also was provided for. i This rule was*followed, with the exception of a “break during the civil war, when a census was Jmissed, due to circumstances over which the federal government plainly had no control—until six years tago. There was a reapportionment following the 1910 Seensus and congressmen still are being elected and feelected on that basis. There was a census 2) 4920, but no reapportionment ensued. Congress asimply has disregarded it. Why? kid Well, since 1910 population has’ increased in the} urban much faster than it has increased in the rural ‘districts. = In 1910 it was predominantly rural. Today it is “predominantly urban. = Yet the rural population still rules, though in a minority. & One of two things must happen, with a reappor- tionment: = Either urban districts would get enough extra ecngressmen to gain control, increasing the size of he house of representatives by nearly 60 members, «mostly from the cities, or, if the house remains at Its present number, the urban districts will gain representation and the rural districts will lose repre- Zentation correspondingly. z.°The readjustment may be desirable or it may nots but the constitution calls for it, at any rate. Congressman Tilson doesn't question that this is ihe case. He adds that he favors compliance. But suppose congress tells the founding fathers, in this instance, to go hunt a warmer climate! What’s to ‘te done about it? Nothing. Congress can’t be pe- nalized. It simply disregards the fundamental law +—and that’s that. Rural representation, in control, declines to sur gender it. Congressman Tilson seems to think it will do so following the census of 1930. It’s hard t@-Bee why it will be any readier todo so then, than following the census of 1920. , It’s violating the tonstitution now. Why should it feel differently four years hence, or 14 years, or 24 years, or ever? ; Put Up or Shut Up = Treasury officials suggest that there is unly one amcthod of war debt cancellation that would be fair ‘to the whole American people—for liberty bond- Iders who favor cancellation to surrender their nds, and then to pare down the debts by the ag- regaté-amount turned in.

Solutions The chemists of the department of agriculture They took some dust from a grain elevator and used it for running! an engine. There was no prolonged, continuous | run, but enough power was developed to turn the, engine over many times. The experimenters said the test was encouraging. | They even have hopes of perfecting the process to} the extent where automobiles may be run by grain dust. Of course, this is a wild dream at the present time. But all the marvels of this great civilization were wild dreams once. imagine the result. Won't farmers be tickled? to go out to the old corn crib and load up the fliv- ver—much the same as they did when Dobbin was ruler of the road, Take care of your health so you will live long. The future is going to be truly in- teresting and startling. Watch Out, General General McCarl, who is known as the “watchdog” of the treasury, has been out shopping. He needed seme new rugs for his office. The ones he had were sort of faded, and nothing helps the morale of an office ‘mose than real nice rugs. “They must be good rugs,” thought the general, to himself, so he went down town and paid $1,600 for two. The rugs may have been worth every cent of it, but the average man who sits in an office having a var- nished floor or a $50 rug, and earns the taxes spent for the $1,600 rugs, won’t be so well pleased with the purchase. This “watchdog” of the treasury should watch his step. Sportsmanship in Hunting (Fargo Forum) With the opening of the hunting season attention is focused again on the relationship between hunter and farmer. The usual pre-season complaints about depredations already have come in from the rural districts, with here and there a warning to farmers to protect their property and to keep hunters off, their places. It is unfortunate that a few hunters, bent upon a. foolish display of their importance and upon a self- ish desire to get as much game as possible with the least amount of effort, have made the farmers in a few sections look with suspicion upon all devo- tees of the sport. The rank and file of hunters have as much feeling for the farmer as for themselves, and will do everything in their power to respect his wishes and to protect his livestock and his property. They resent the action of the selfish and thought- less nimrod as much gs the farmer, and whenever possible will take steps to step him. Hunting is a = The United States can afford to cancel its war debtors’ obligations. It might or might not be good business or good polit prough to stand it, even if it were a mistake. z A great many individual American holders can’t fford to surrender their liberty bonds, Of those} 10 could afford it, it isn’t likely many would. Imagine an international financier tearing up his is! , Some altruistic people dcubtless would do it, per- Raps to a considerable amount, but probably not to p very large amount in comparison with the total America’s foreign war debts. And those who id so would be those who could least afford to do so. Yet war debt cancellation, if a good thing for| is country at all, would be a good thing for every- —for liberty bondholders and non-liberty bond- ders alike. ® If we cancel, without the. surrender of any liberty » there is some temporary hardship, in the ot taxation, to non-holders of bonds.
