tax goes to pay state bureaus that are
poorly equipped and inefficient; bu-
reaus that reach here and overlap
there.
"This part of Minnesota contains
100000 acres of idle land belonging
to Uncle Sam, nearly 100000 idle
acres belonging to the state and g.
100000 acres of swamp land, which
is rich soil when drained.
"Why has this part of Minnesota
been neglected by the state? One
reason is that it is not fairly repre-
sented in the legislature. Its legis-
lative apportionment was made a.
generation ago, SO that a senator now
from this part of Minnesota repre-
sents five times as many people as a
senator from the southern part. 1t
is fully taxed, under-represented,
neglected, and it's needs are ignored.
Surely this part of the state has a
great grievance and as vital a need
of organization for the common good
as any people ever had. What does
this part of Minnesota want? Set
tiers, its lands drained, it's forests
protected, it's roads improved and
better schools. 1t wants and de-
mands fair legislative representa-
tion." -., ~
With the biggest and best crop on
the most land ever cultivated, this
part of the state is demonstrating
this year as never before what Won
derful possibilities lie within her
largely undeveloped domain.

the CARNAGE BEGINS.

In many places the law preventing
the discharge of firearms or explos.
ives is as rigidly enforced the week
before the Fourth as at any othe,
time. Judging from the pop of thu
toy pistols and snap of fire crackers
to be heard in all parts of Bemidji
premature celebrations are to 20 or
unmolested. Parents should re-
member that blank cartridge anf
paper cap guns cause more cases Of
lockjaw than any other one agency
The danger from fire crackers OUCH,
to be we'll enough known not to nee6
repeated warning. There is no ex.
cuse for the nerve racking biff, bang
bling that is to make the DAYS hid
eous from now until after the Fourth
A safe and sane end of June and first
second and third of July is as desir.
able as the Fourth itself.

WHY?

With refreshing frankness the
Northwest Farmstead" talks about
Northern Minnesota, her possibili-
bilities, her trials and tribulations
and natural blessings. Editorially
the "Farmstead" has this to say:
Northern Minnesota, nearly two
thirds of the state, has mines, forests.
water power, navigable streams and
manufacturing possibilities, also a
rich soil, and millions of idle acres
which will produce wealth for thou
sands of people. This part of the
state has practically lain dormant,
settlement sparce, potentialities un-
developed, soil idle. This land is
heavily taxed for the support of q
state government which takes all
and gives practically nothing. This

Atlantic Deeper Waterways Convention

The Atlantic Deeper Waterways Con-
vention held it's annual convention in
Richmond, Va, last week and listened to
able discussions of internal waterways
improvement. Congressman j. H. Moore,
of Philadelphia, was reelected president
All the developments in the proceedings
of the convention, all of the influential
discussion and arguments and all thi
concerted efforts were for the construc1
tion of a ship canal across the Maryland
and Delaware Peninsula. All the promi-
nent delegates and visitors agreed thai
this work must be first undertaken and
accomplished to make other links North
and South available. While the resolu1
lions adopted do not declare specifically
for any one project, they point to the
Chesapeake and Delaware proposition as
of paramount Importance. On this en-
terprise all interests are united, and they
are willing that other projects should be
held in allegiance until it shall have be-
come an accomplished fact.
