Such sights as baby cabs hanging
from the trees in the Library park

places were to be seen this morning,
although the wholesale transfer of

the careful watch kept over the
young offenders, and the brightness

Senator Hackney, however, assures
the Pioneer that all that he can do
will be done. His two points against
an extra session are 'heavy burden
to the people and disgust at the
present legislative Makeup Anthem
tic figures show that this heavy bur-
dem of an extra session would be
less than $4,000.
Senator Hackney's views are i'm
portant in that they show the false
feeling which must be overcome in
order to win the fight for the prompt
passage, OF reapportionment bill
His views are given below.
Senator Hanson's Position.
Senator Hanson says:
Reply to yours Of the 18th has

out from a six weeks lay up at

Shaw Puts It Up to Committee.
Daniel Shaw of Thief River Falls,

responsibility to the executive COM
mittee. He writes the Pioneer as
follows:
1T seems to me that the executive
committee of the Development as
rangements for the St. Cloud con-
vention, are the proper people to de-
eide a matter of this kind. I am not
conversant with their plans, and as
their management of the affairs Of
the Association in the past has been
successful, | would prefer that this
matter be referred to them and left
entirely to their good Judgment
How Hackney Feels.
Senator Hackney says:
Il do not believe that a reappor-
tionment bill can be passed by the
present legislature. 1t will be neces-
sary for public sentiment to become
so strong in all parts of the State
that change in the makeup of the
legislature can be brought about be-
fore I hope to see any fair reappor-
tionment bill passed. It would seem
unwise to me for the governor to call
an extra session, as it would put up
on the people of the State a great
burden and expense and / do not be-
lieve anything would be accom-
plished.
Discouraged But Friendly.
There is no question at all in my
mind as to the need of reapportion-
ment. My record on that PROPOSE
ton is we'll known and it is useless
for me to say anything further upon
that point. l would gladly assist, as
/ have already done, in bringing
about reapportionment especially in
the interests of Northern Minnesota
if there was anything in my power
that I could do. I became greatly
discouraged with our last Legislature

to pass a reapportionment bill bul
