Re.apportionment a La Duluth.

1t seems that Duluth is preparing
to serve the ranges with rather
rich dish on the reapportionment
proposition. The present plan az
applied to St. Louis County is alb
surdly unjust. Think of three dis
tricts, each containing ward or
two of the city of Duluth then after
several twists, crooks and turns de-
parts for the Canadian line, making
shaving averaging less than
twelve miles wide and over a hun.
bred long. The Duluth wards con.
tain enough votes to control all of
the districts which enter that city.
Only one district of the entire coun'
ty does not touch Duluth, that one
contains Hibbing, Chisholm, Buhl
and Virginia. For this crumb &C.
cept our thanks. The city limits of
Virginia are cut out of the town.
ship and the city tackled on to the
range district as knot on a log.
Why not take the "jog" out of that
line, run it straight north and south
and leave Virginia with the rest of
the township? That would place
Virginia and Eveleth in the same
district and their combined vote
would defeat a ward or two in Du'
luth. In such an event the ranges
could elect two senators and four
representatives, instead of one
senator and two representatives az
opposed to Duluth's delegation OF
twelve.
Those fellows at Duluth are very
open.hearted, willing even to share
last crust with the rauges-it the
ranges have the crust!
