Coming Legislators ]: Must Equalixs
REPRESENTATION 5

II y 4 - E IL, u
Williston.- Legislative reapportion-
alton by the coming legislative assem-
bly,. will be big thing for the coun-
ties Of western North Dakota. as 1t is
q foregone conclusion that new ap-
portionment viii mean added prestige
for this section. Under the present APP
portionment the counties Of the west
ern section. or at least some Of them,
have not as great number Of MEM
bers as they are in reality entitled to.
as comp: d with the condition in the
eastern. an. o-1er. settled communi-
ties.
The new apportionment. which IL
provided for under the constitution, 1t
being prescribed that new apportion-
ment must be tde following each
state and national census, will create
a hot fight, as several Of such estab-
lished counties as Pembina, Walsh.
Cavalier and Trail are due for q re-
duction in members while such newer
counties as Morton, Williams, Ward
and Stark will get increases. Ramsey,
too, will seek for greater recognition
in the assembly.
Some Of the glazing faults of the
present apportionment are to be found
in a statement of the several counties
in which reduction and increase Of
members is practically certain of Icing
made. In those in which decrease
may be expected the present appor-
tionment provides for members as fol-
lows: Pembina, with 1919 popula-
ton, has two senators and three house
members; Walsh, with 19,491 popula-
tion, has two senators and five house
members; Trail, with 12.545 popula-
ton, has one senator and two repre-
sentatives, while Cavalier, with 1869
population, has two senators and three
house members.
On the other hand, there are Nor
ton, Williams, Mckenzie, Ward and
Ramsey counties that are not on an
equitable basis with these counties.
Morton has a population of 25,2S9, but
it has only one senate member and
three house members, the same as
Trail county with it's population only
one-half as great.
Williams and Mckenzie counties
in one legislative district and have
combined population Of 25,969, with one
sen"tor and two representatives al.
lowed. The predicament of these two
counties is even greater than that of
Morton county.
Ward county's census report in
cludes Burke and Renville counties,
which were established since the CEN
sus was taken, and it shows that there
are 42,1S5 people in the territory. I'm
der the present apportionment these
counties have two senators and seven
representatives. Compared with Cass
county, with its population of 1896,
and it's legislative representation of
three senators and seven house mem
bers, it is readily seen that Ward
county has a just claim for further
recognition. .,,
The basis of the new apportionment
is very uncertain, but the probabilities
are that an effort will be made to keep
the senate membership under the fifty
mark. Morton, Williams and McKen-
zie, Ward and Ramsey counties are
clearly entitled to additional members
in the senate, and to apportion the
state means that some other county
will have to suffer. A very probable
rate Of apportionment will be 11,150.

School Board Wants Amendments

Bismarck-At a meeting Of the
North Dakota state high school board
in the office Of Supt. w. L. Stockwell,
the board decided to ask the coming
legislature to amend the present high
school law so as to provide for the
payment of the salary of the inspector
out of the appropriation for state aid
this distinctly making him an officer
of the board.
They also decided to ask for an an.
nual appropriation Of $4,000. 1t is
said that even this will not pay the
maximum amount contemplated by tho
law for Individual schools.

 Don't confuse this property with fake propositions, but weigh the following facts: This subdivision Is as close to the business center of Birmingham as West End, WGodlawn, East Lake and parts of North Birmingham; only 20 minutes from the center of grayitation. First avenue and 20th street, via the B. R., l.. & P. Co.'S only line operating throughout each and every hour of the entire year. The altitude of 1nglenoolS is much higher than that of any of the other suburbs men, toned. One can stand on this property and look down on the cotton mills of Avondals, view the skyscrapers of Bir- mnghanl, tickle his ribs" while listening to the birds among the oak, hickory and walnut trees, and rubber at the autos as they whizz along that beautiful drive, the Nit.

Knock From Wall Street.

From the New York Journal of Com
 nerce.
 The chief argument adduced in support of this postal savings scheme Is that it will afford the means of fostering habits of frugality and saving. That is none of ths business of the national government under our system. The people are capa- ble of taking care of their own habits aod have every means at their com mand in their states and their several communities for providing such regula- tion for mutual help and protection as they find necessary, and they do not re- quire, nor, we trust, do they desire, the sollcitude of great father at Wash ingion or an all-wise council of national guardians to look after their habits of industry and frugality.
 That may do for countries which have ruling class of superior beings. who look town upon the "toiling masses" as an inferior class incapable of taking care
