A bill to repeal the ten-cent per
pound tax on oleomargarine will be
presented to congress at this session,
but the members of the committee on
agriculture say an effort will be made
to have it so framed as to protect the
dairy interests by increasing the
penalty for selling butter substitutes
as butter. All the cleo manufacturers
are after is the removal of the ten-cent
tax-the increase of the penalty for
selling butter substitutes as butter
would not affect them. Neither would
it, SO far as we can see, protect the
dairying industry to any greater ex-
tent than it is protected now. It is q
mere subterfuge of the Armours,
Swifts and other concerns which
manufacture oleo from by-products
to get the bill through congress, and
we'll does the committee on agricul-
ture know it. If a bill to repeal i the
ten-cent tax becomes law it will be
due to the influence which the meat
trust exercises over congress. a.

THE BRAINERD MEETING.

The meeting of the Northern Mime
sofa Development association at
Brainerd last Thursday and Friday
was highly satisfactory. The atten-
dance was large and representative.
Able addresses were delivered and
much valuable information was i'm
parted. While many politicians we're
present politics were not obtruded
into the proceedings of the conven-
ton. Irrespective of party affilia-
tions the people of northern Mime
sofa are united in demanding what is
guaranteed them by the constitution
of the state-the representation they
are entitled to in the legislature. On
this question there was no diversity
of opinion. There was no buster
or braggadocio INDUCED in but it was
apparent to the most casual observer
that northern Minnesota, as repre-
sented in the convention, was terribly
in earnest and will insist upon what it
is justly entitled to and what the state
constitution guarantees it.
The citizens of Brainerd were lavish
in their hospitality and the arrange
ments for the comfort and convent
ence of the guests we're most complete.
The Brainerd people are certainly
royal entertainers.

power in spite of the popular vote.
But those historic expressions of
the people were and are legal. The
British parliament was law unto it.
self, and only the fear of violent
revolution stirred it to reform. The
New England inequalities are in
ancient constitutions which must be
amended to correct them. Our rotten
boroughs have been maintained for
ten years in spite of the constitution.
The legislature even had the impu-
dence to submit an amendment chang
ing it's mandate, which the people
threw back in it's face.
Though the state has gained 1926, 900
people in ten years, there have been
great changes of density. Nearly
one-third of the counties have lost
population or remained stationary,
while others have gained hundreds of
per cent. The gross inequality of
five years ago is nearly doubled in
some cases.
One member of the legislature in the
South has more weight than four in
the North. Is it any wonder that the
indolent part of the state can strip the
treasury for local jobs, while the
part of vital energy cannot get CON-
mon protection of life and property
from fire?
It begins to be more than limited
that even now reapportionment is to
be bucked by the most ruthless and
cynical agency of corruption that ever
operated in any state. If this shall
be so, the branch of the legislature
under it's thumb will fall beneath the
contempt of the meanest citizen, and
the agency itself will encounter a
blast of public anger like nothing it
has ever felt before.

legislature into passing an apportion-

Indications are that the next
speaker of the Minnesota legislature
will not be chosen several weeks be-
fore the beginning of the session, as
has been the case for the past several
years. This may be hard on the can

people, who will thus be given a
chance to protest if the record of the
aspirant is not to their liking. The
custom of one or two districts meeting
surreptitiously, as it we're, picking
their man and forcing the balance of
the members to climb on the band

good committee appointments and
