The Failure Of Reapportionment

If any legislatures had provided tor
reapportioning their states in the be-
lief that the Crumpacker- Burleigh bill
was To become law. and had ad-
journed before March 4, they ar"
placed in a somewhat embarrassing
position. For instance, the state OF
North Dakota has elected at large its
two congressman. Under the reap
portonment bin it will have three
members 50 the Legislature, after
agreeing to reiistricting of the state
into eastern, central and western por-
tions, was just about 10 adjourn when
a dispatch from Washington an
nounced that the reapportionment bill
had failed in the Senate. SO the labor
of the session on that redistricting bill
was wasted. 1t is quite probable that
other states have had similar troubles
At least, it may be readily seen that
the failure " the reapportionment bill
has worked something of a tanele and
Although the call did not mention the
subject. Congress need not contine it
self To the so-called "reciprocity"
subject entirely. At any rate it can
hardly be expected that the Maine
Legislature will be in session long
IenOugh to take up the redistritcting
matter after the special session shall
lbilI, and as the Legislature will not
meet in regular session for two years,
Names position is more or less awk-
ward.

The Presidents Coming Message

| Quite naturally the Democrats ut th'
National House hope that the Pr"si-
dent will coutinc his message /" tht
| special session to Canadian rettpr"6
ity. II has been expected, ever sine
the menace al an extra session has
been held over Congress. in order to
| force the reciprocity. measure
through the last session. that the
f., Democratic majority in the House
would seize the opportunity IN attack
various schedules OF the existing tariff
law. Having used the cXtra"rdl-
nary session as a club to drive the Re-
publican Congress to pass his so-called
reciprocity" agreement, tn" President
found himself somewhat at the mercy
of Il Democratic majority Of the 62d
Congress- il they should choose to do
things to the Payne Aldrich tariff law
which he characterized at Ninona as
the best tariff measure ever enacted
By Republican Congress. But ii Is
now believed that the President may
skilfullv circumvent the Democracy
BY attacking the WOODEN and cotton
schedules and such items as effect
food stuns OF the Payne law in ms
coming message To the extra session
Should the President in his message
recommend changes that would affect
food stuffs and certain schedules
which have been most assatled ny the
public. he would place thr Democrats
at a decided Disadvantage Tor what
ever changes they do make in the
tariff law, the credit would go To the
President. But there is one strong
drawback to such action and that is
the unpreparednesS of the tariff board
to report upon all phases Of the
schedules which the President @ould
wish To revise. No doubt the board
has at hand a vast amount OF valuable
information. but it is doubtful II this
could be made ready to present To the
President before the lFSl "l ti' "'i"-
die of May, whereas the special ses-
sion is called for April 4.
In whatever form the so-callcd
reciprocity" agreement goes to the
next Congress, whether bearing step
tariff revision downward or
not, there is no doubt that the agree
mcnt itself will be revised in man.

BaIIinqer's Resignation.

Alter all the volumes of denuncia-
tion and countless paragraphs by the
press in all parts of the country, Sec
retary Baliinger has resigned his
portfolio. and his resignation has been
acce pied. Walter l.. Fisher, of Chi
cage. is his successor as secretary of
the interior.
Throughout the Ballinger- -Pinchot
incident the public has seemed tn ia
Vor the forester who was dismissed
by the President, and it has been de-
clarrd freely in the Republican. as We'll
as the Democratic press that Presi-
dent Taft must unload Ballinger from
his cabinet or Rallinger would unload
him from the possibility of a renom-
nation And in all this campaign of
dent has stood loyal TO Mr.. Ballnger
and apparently has never had a
thought of dismissing him. Now that
Ballingnr has resigned the Presidents s
letter to him in accepting his resig-
nation is somewhat touching in its ex
preSslons of loyalty TO his secretary.
President TAFT declares that the
campaign against Mr.. Ballinger he
belle ses to b. an unprincipled and
malicious plot to misrepresent the
secretary of the interior. He declares
that he has deemed it his duty not only
general TO fight out this battle to the
end. and To show to the public that it
was a matter of hypocritical pretenee;
that Mr.. Ballinger's accusers did not
accuse him OF corruption, because that
would have brought about that t
which the worst criminal is entitled
a definitely formulated charge and al
opportunity to answer it. They pre-
ferrcd to shower suspicious upon tn
secretary and exploit public matter
which had no relevancy to the issue
giving opportunity to parade before TIL
the character of the secretary. Th'
President assured Mr.. Ballinger tha
