Pioneer Press: While Minnesota
and other northwestern states will
gain additional membership under
the reapportionment bill which has
passed the House of Congress. and
promises to be accepted by the Sen
ate without opposition, there is
grave question of the wisdom of in
,creasing the membership Of the
House from 391 to 433. The increase
will tax the capacity of the House
chamber, add at least $1,0O0,0O0 a
year to the cost of government, and,
in the opinion of many students OF
the theory of government. weaken
the effectiveness of the lower branch
of the national legislature.

Wisconsin, having adopted the
war cry, "A dollars worth of road
for every dollar of tax" is showing
how to make money work miracles.
In 1907 as much as $4,000 was ap-
priated for the use of the State Geo.
logical Survey in experimental road
building and in advising local road
authorities. As there are fifteen
hundred Of these local road bodies
the contract was rather large one.
But the Survey engineers did the
best they could by addressing public
meetings and distributing pamphlets
and by establishing q correspondence
school for road builders. In order
to make every dollar count they
managed to induce some localities to
build roads graded to a width Of
twenty4four feet with a stone sur
face only nine feet wide. Everybody
knew that such q narrow roadway
would not answer at all, but after
they had tried them they wanted no
other kind. These nine-foot road
ways answer the purpose Of light
traffic and they cost but $1,000 to
S.. 800 per mile. while the 14-foot
stone surface. which allows two
teams to pass and which is used for
heavier traffic, costs from 5000 to
S. 900 per mile. March Technical

Official Paper of Redwood County

The Gazette is little late in an
nouncing the appointment of Henry
Johnson of Shutdown to be state oil
inspector in this district. Perhaps
the fact that Mr.. johnson is a SON.
in-law of P. O.. Callaghan of this
city, chairman of the Republican
county committee in the last cam
paign, may have given Henry's ap-
plication little stronger pull than
that of his competitors, but another
reason is that the appointee did a
little hustling and got there first.

Granite Falls Tribune:

Granite Falls Tribune: Instead of
a workhouse Kansas City has been
trying the experiment of having a
farm to which the usual workhouse
prisoners are sent, and it is said
that the plan has given the best of
satisfaction. 1t has cost much less
per person to maintain, and besides
there has been financial gain from
the products sold from the farm,
the necessary work to raise which
was done by the unfortunates sent
there. Instead of being shut up
they work in the fields and thus get
plenty of fresh air. 1t is said many
who were before mere Migrants be-
fore going to the farm workhouse
Immediately went into the country
and got work on farms as soon as
released.

At an enthusiastic good roads con-

M. Bendixen were the principal

senger, the latter argued that the

population and they in turn receive
the least benefit from it. and ex-
planned what had been accomplished
along the line of good roads legisla-
ton and Of legislation now pending
at the present session Of the Mime
sofa legislature. 'The speaker
brought down the house when he
said that road that was good
enough for an automobile was good
enough for his team to travel on.
The narrow minded idea which had
been talked of in this regard was
given sudden jolt. A motion was
almost unanimously carried to have
a committee of three appointed
from each of the townships. Morgan,
Sherman, Brookyille and Three

the village committee and devise
means for establishing state road

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
evidently seen light, since the de-
pa.tment has condescended to give
the grievances of the railway mail
clerks a hearing. If the department
will give hearing to comply with
the public demand for getting the
mails handled by the railroad cor
porations at reasonable rate, it
would help to atone for good many
arbitrary and unjust rulings and rec
concentrations from that depart
ment.

ton of capital punishment for
crimes, and few men in this state
are better. qualified to speak with
authority on such measures. We
believe that law like the Kansas
law, allowing the capital punishment
clause to remain, with the provision
that the board Of pardons be given
the option of having the execution
carried out or committed to life con-
finement, would protect the state
from the exceptionally depraved
who are menace to mankind. This
might save many disagreements of
juries, as we'll as being more in &C.

Theoretically, capital punishment is
a relic of barbarism, but statistics
are said to show that the abolition
of the death penalty for what are
now rated capital crimes lead to the
two extremes Of lynch law and in

"This is Honolulu. in the Hawaii

That is the sort Of long-distance
telephoning we shall soon be able to
do. Indeed, there is every prospect
that within a short time people will
talk from Chicago to London over
wire. We may even send whisper
direct from Boston to Peking, China,
or actually transmit spoken mes
sage around the world!
All of this is the result of an in
vention just patented by Major
George O. Squier. of the Signal
Corps, United States Army. He has
made a free gift of it, however. to
the American people, and anybody is
at liberty to use it without paying q
cent for the privilege.
The invention does not merely
promise to provide means whereby
one may telephone a distance almost
indefinite. 1t also makes practicable
the employment Of a single wire for
the simultaneous sending Of num-
Der of messages, whether by the
voice or by telegraph.
Briefly described. the method
adopted is one whereby wireless
messages are sent over wire-a
sort Of wire wireless" as Major
Squier calls it. A paradox. one
might say. But the matter will be
better understood when it is ex.
