St. Paul, Feb. 23.-Although only
thirty-two votes are necessary to
pass a bill in the senate, friends of
the reapportionment measure are
claiming that it will have thirty-six
in that body.
St. Paul and Minneapolis news
papers quote w. R. Mackenzie IN
the following language:
There will be 20 compromise on
a 1914 bill as far as northern Min
nesota is concerned. The republic
can platform declares for reappoi-
tionment to take effect by Jan. l,
1912, and the friends of reappor-
tionment will not stand for any
delay measure or compromise. We
believe the house bill will pass the
senate without material change"

My attention has been called to a
printed report to the effect clerks
receive pay at. the rate of IS a day
for every committee TO which they
are assigned. Thus, if a clerk does
the clerical work for seven different
committees, he receives a total OF
S35 day. This assertion would be
amusing were it not for the fact that
it reflects upon the legislature. Nc
clerk receives more than IS a day,
no matter how many committees he
may have to take of, with the excep-
ton of the clerk of the committees
on judiciary. He receives $40 q
day, and earns it.
At meeting of the House com
mittee on public lands-and there
We're several committee meetings
although It was legal holiday-th,
question of providing a state lant
commissioner was considered ant
D. P. O'Neil), Frank Hopkins ant
w. B. Webb were named a commit
tee to draft bill calling for con
sti utional amendment providing TO
such a commissioner.
