FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1911.

1t appears to be settled that if the
legislature does not pass a reappor-
tionment bill, Governor Eberhart
will, in fulfillment of his promise at
Brainerd, call an extra session to
consider the matter, The governor
should not call such an extra session
for he has already done enough to re-
lease him from any responsibility.
The opinion of many people in the
state has been modified in the advanc-
ing of the view that something must
be done about the representation of
the great cities before reapportion-
ment is undertaken. This is mat
ter which requires careful considera-
tion and constitutional amendment
before it is too late, and nothing is
to be gained by forcing the reappor-
tionment issue now.

classroom stupidity, and backward
ness than any other one injurious IN
fiuence of modern city life. AND
again, one of the most striking things
about undernourished children is their
vulnerability. They "take" every
thing, and offer very little resistance
to any acute infectious disease which
they may contract.
1t is not difficult to count the ulti-
mate cost to society of these underfed
children-in words, the degenerate.
the mentally defective, the tubercular.
who form so large percentage of the
total child population of our modern
city. The degenerate child. beginning
as a mora canker among its play
mates, ends by taking the city's
money for its support in reformatories
and prisons. The children who catch
every disease spread these diseases
broadcast before they themselves are
gathered into hospitals-at the ex-
pense of the community. The tuber-
cular, the anemic, the mentally def
cient, take two years to do one years
work, or are taught in special classes;
all of which means extra expenditure
of city money. In every case we are
confronted with the expense to the
community-expense in health, in
morals, in money-of the undernour-
ished child. From "The Vital Ques-
tion of School Lunches" by Mary
Josephine Mayer, in the American
Review of Reviews for April.
Morris tribune., 1911-03-31

congressman Tawney in a
speech at Winona this week discussed
the conditions under which congress-
men are now held so strictly account
able to their constituents. and claims
that it makes of the house of repre-
sentatives mere congress Of ambas-
sadors. Mr.. Tawney has renewed a
question which is as old as representa-
tive government. A representative
is constantly confronted with the
question. els nv first duty to the
welfare of the country at large, or
to the welfare of my home district?"
In England they believe that the
representative first duty is to the
country at large and so elect their
members of the house of commons
without any reference to where they
q live. In this country we require a
representative to be resident of the
state from which he comes and so
tend to the opposite view and require
that representative first duty shall
be to look out for the interests of the
people at home. The more important
a figure a man becomes nationally,
the more he chafes under this rule.
and Mr.. Tawney should be excused his
extreme view because he was COM
PEELED to modify local demands in
complying with his responsibilities
to the country at large. The ques-
tion is largely an academic one, for
the people at home will never sur
render their view that their repre-
sentative must heed their local de-
mands, not will they always refuse
to acknowledge his good judgment in
looking rather to the interests of
the country at large. In the narrow
path which congressman must tread
in performing his duties to the whole
nation and in satisfying the people at
home, each must work out his own
salvation.

Representative Spooner is to bt

Representative Spooner is to be
congratulated on having secured the
passage by the house of his bill
asserting the title of the state to the
beds of the public waters of the state
Or in simple language, asserting
that the water powers of the state,
developed and undev eloped, belong
to the whole people. This is the
most important conservation mea-
sure ever adopted in this state and
will preserve to the whole people for
untold generations the right to a
rental for the use of the great water
powers of the state which must sooner
or later all be put to use. The bill
naturally enough had the most stren-
Gus opposition of those who have re-
ceived or expect to receive enormous
revenues from the use of water pow
ers. 1t is most important that the
bill should be adopted at this time
because the water powers of
the country are gradually com ing
under the control of what is now or
will some day become a great water
power trust.

"PACKED"
COMMITTEES.

The incidents of the Klemer episode
! in the house of representatives are NJ
doubt familiar to most of our readers
Representative Klemer charged thai
the committees of the house were
packed in the interest of the special
interests, and the speaker and his
supporters in the house Immediately
demanded an apology. After vast
ing the best part of three days in
acrimonious debate. and in moves and
countermoves in which the advantage
was first with one crowd and then
with the other. Mr.. Kelmer apologized
for his language Sin so far as it was
unparliamentary.' This the house
refused to accept, and he was CEN
! sured by close vote. and then called
to the bar house where he made a
sorry spectacle of defending himself
against a house which would give
him no opportunity to prepare for
trial and assumed to act as both
accusers and jury with a determine
tion to run the steam roller over him
which only a master could have avert
ed.
Elsewhere in this issue we present
Haines' view of the incident and also
Eddy's view, tho we agree with
neither. AS the incident will be of
considerable Importance in Minnesota
politics for some time to come, we
give this amount of space to it, and
add few words of comment of our
| own.
Klemer's charge was one of those
dangerous r-truths. " While
the committees of the house may not
be ''packed, they were "overload-
ed'' by the speaker. Eleven promi-
nent men hold 35 of the 81 places on
the five most important committees
and 55 of the 158 place on the ten
most important committees. These
eleven men are all friends of the
speaker, are all men of ability. and
some of them at least are the acknow-
lodged representatives of special in
terests.
On the other hand, ten of the most
prominent insurgent' members of
the house. also men of ability, have
little or no representation on these
important committees-a manifest
injustice.
The result of this condition of
affairs is that eleven men are over
loaded with work, and that committee
action on important measures is prac-
tically controlled by these eleven men.
The house itself has manifested a
certain lack of confidence in commit
tee action this ear, by the marked
tendency there has been to reverse
committee action on various bills.
which has been the subject of COM
ment by even so conservative a writer
as Frank Eddy.
In view of these facts. it is easy
to see that Klemer would have gained
an advantage if he had modified his
charge, while the speaker and his
friends would have gained an advant-
age if they had passed over the whole
matter, and not have shown by their
display OF temper that they had been
touched on a tender spot.
The speaker and his friends, being
in control of the house are dire city
and solely responsible for having
wasted the best part of three precious
legislative days when every moment
should be devoted to Legislation in
the interest of the people. Time
is pressing now and many good mea-
sures will fail because of lack of
time, and the speaker cannot escape
the responsibility for the time that
was wasted on this episode.
