4 GROSS PUBLIC WRONG.

Every Democrat and most fairEninded
Republicans in this county wiEi agree
that the plan of congressional reappor-
tionment decided on by the legislative
committee involves a gross pu~lic
wrong. If it is the function of a legisla-
tive majority to practically disfranchise
a vast body of citizens in the effectuation
of a party purpose, then the action of the
reapportionment committee is certsn to
be indorsed by the Republicans of both
houses, and is equally certain to receive
public approval
The organization of the proposed
Fourth district is a shameful Illustration
of the extent to which a gerrymander
can be pursued There is not Demo-
cratic representative or senator from
any one of the three counties involved
who should not resent this wrong by the
most strenuous efforts in his power, as a
deliberate violation of both law and NOR
ais
1t must remain incomprehensibIe to
those who are not members of either
branch Of the legislature how such a
public injustice could have been carried
even to its present proportions without
having brought forth the protest Of
every Democrat in the Legislature. rhe
Democratic members, especially those
from Ramsey county, are called on to
make their voices heard in condemna-
ton of this measure in its application
to the voters of the proposed Fourth
district.
It will be the duty of every Democrat
to unite if necessary with the represent
tatiyes of Minneapolis in securing such
amendment of the measure as will en-
able a congressman to be chosen from
Ramsey and Washington counties. 1t
would be much more just and equitable to
all concerned if the three congressman
were assigned to the joint population of
Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington. AS
the matter stands now six districts rep
resent an average population of $4,000,
while the two districts represented by
the three counties named represent an
average population of 22O,GO0
There is no sense in Ramsey county
Democrats giving an implied sanction to
an utterly unjust public measure and dis
regarding the rights and privileges of their
own immediate constituents, simply be-
cause they believe that Hennepin Is re-
ceiving incidentally a greater representa-
ton than it is proportionately entitled to.
The trouble very evidently throughout
this transaction has been that the state IS
about to be parceled out to meet the de-
mands of aspiring politicians. It is not
an apportionment that is designed which
viii give the different sect ons respective
ly an equitable representation in con-
gress. The motive and influence at
work is two-fold: First, to fix out Ger
tain favored Republican politicians with
seats in congress; and, secondly, to pre-
vent the possibility of the election of
even one Democrat from this state
AS long as Democratic senator's and rep
resentatives are willing to keep their
tongues in their cheeks while such a
shameless travesty on public representa-
ton r. being carried out, the blame does
not wholly attach to Republicans for it's
contamination.

The Australian government has or
dered 1900 tons of steel rails from the
Illinois Steel company, the bid that
this concern made, being '1ower than
that of any competing concern in the
world" And this too, in spite of the
fact that the British manufacturers had
all the advantage of transportation, as
they could ship their product all the
way by water while the American
product has to be shipped a good part
Of the way by land. In this connection
the New York World asks: "Why do
American steel rail manufacturers, who
are just being absorbed in a gigantic
steel combination for monopoly, still in
slst that an import duty of S4S7 per ton
on steel rails is needed to protect them
against the foreign manufacturers,
whom they are undertaking in their own
markets, and in spite of the handicap of
heavier freight charges to the port of de-
livery?"
