Brand Rapids WeratdeMReview Published Every Wednesday By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postofficeat Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County REAPPORTIONMENT. A good many legislators have grab- bed at the proposed reapportionment pill like a hungry fish does after We wonder how mamy have thought bai —without thought of the result. thaat if this state is reapportioned the cities, St. Paul, Minneapolis and I th, will control state politics. The country districts throughout the state have not increased im popula- tion in the last ten yeans to am ex- tent where they will be materially changed in representation, while the cities have increased to the extent where jointly they will lack only @ few votes of having everything all heir own way. These few votes they can readily get by making @ “de so that the country districts will zet nothing. We think the south- rn representatives cam vote against h ill with good grace—Windom tifying to know that all 8 Minnesota papers are not so unjust and unreasonable as the Windon Citizen. The Rock County published at Luverne, ig one} © ablest papers issued in the state its argument is sound and issuring to the peaple of this sec- t right will prevail in reap- notwithstanding the dshonesty and hidebound sel of certain persons and polit’ im the southern, half of Mipnesota. The Herald discusses the subject as follows: Herald, cians who live “The above iMustrates how easy it hairs in matters of pui policy. Ais the Herald sees tthe ques- tion of reapportionment, the number of representatives any one section may have cannot be a determining or so long as the number is con- nt with the population, “Just representation” is the fundamental principal of our government—the'yital spark of free government—and just fac ais! representation means equal represen- Equal representation, in, turn means that a certain number of peg- 1z within a certain sub-dig, trict « | be -enitithed to. the same, mumber of representatives im the governing body as has any other sub- duirict of like population was organized the ation: ple li nee our state southern part has had greater repre- sei lation in the legislature because reater number of inbabi- n the northern or central | it had a part This arramgement was not | ouly constitutional, but it was ac- knowledged by ail to be fair. This true it cannot now be unjust t northern and central parts of the state, which have increased great ly in population, should have imereas- ed representation—representation in j proportion to its population, as has had the southern part of the siate for over fifty years. And it the new arrangements, for the pur- pose of keeping our legisiative bod- ies from becoming unweildy in siz it is found nece: y to cut down the number of representatives in the southern part of the state, there car be no just cause for complaint— so long as the basis of representation, remains ual, which it, of course, will. “It is possible that St. Paul and Minneapolis will be) able to all but control the legilature, Ddut this should not be a valid reason for voting against reapportionment and depriving the mortherp part of the state of fafr representation, nor the twin cities for that ma*‘ter, if their great population entitles them to larger representation. Moreover the interests of the twin cities ap: the state at large are nat sa diver- gent as some would have the people believe. Each, im a large measure, is dependent upon the welfare of the other; each is a part of the great commonwealth, and that) which in- jures one part & certain to re: upon the other. “Reapportionment is merely 4 ques- tion of doing what is right or of nega- tively endorsing that which is wrong. The line of duty of the members of tthe legislature is clear cut. There should be no squabble aver thd question of reapportionment.” DEFECTIV ‘A CRIMINAL LAWYER. “Attorney Fined and Sent to Pen- itehtiary,” Are the head lines of a news item in the prees report of the 4h ist. The attorney’e name is Chambers ©.

His dis- reputable practices Were known to every lawyer in the community and ail respectable members of the pro- | fession, despised him, Time and again had he been complaimed of to the proper authorities, and efforts: were made to disbar bim from prac- txe and to prosecute him criminally. But somehow be managed for a long time to cheat justice. Many were the strong cases against him, but for some reason attorneys hes'taibed to go after him as they would gc after other criminals. Finally Tem- pleton came to be regarded as ém- mune from successful prosecution for his multiplicity of misdemeanors.
