to cover pages. But they are suffi-
Gent to call attention to situation
that is no longer tolerable. A voter
in Northern Minnesota should have
as much power as one in any other
section but at present he has not.
The governor has asked the legisla-
ture to pass reapportionment act at
it's special session in June. The legis-
lature should do this and pass an
equitable measure. Beltrami county
wants reapportionment and the man
who opposes it need not look to this
county for favors. Furthermore,
Beltrami county is not the only one
in the state that is asking for justice.

First and Second Choice.

The people of Minnesota want a
direct primary law and the outlook
for the passing of one at the coming
session Of the legislature is good.
But the law must be one that will
not allow a mere plurality to nomin-
ate.
Under such law, one man, not
the choice of good percentage of
the people, could be nominated pro-
vided the opposition was scattered
among several other candidates. A
law should be passed which would
provide for first and second choice
so that in case one man did not re-
ceive forty or fifty per cent Of the
votes cast for first choice, the second
choice ballots could be counted and
the total vote of first and second TAX
en- to nominate.
A first and second choice ballot
would be similar to the one used in
the preferential vote taken by the
Pioneer last March.

We Want Re-Apportionment.

Northern Minnesota wants reap
portionment. It demands re-appor-
tionment because it is the one thing
that will right the wrong of the
present legislative system. 49,.
Why does Beltrami county want a
just reapportionment law? Because
we believe that we have an equal
right with the people of other coun-
ties to express ourselves in state
legislation. Beltrami county has not
that right now.
According to the legislative man
ual for 1911 Beltrami, Clearwater,
Norman, Mahnoman, Pennington
and Red Lake counties, with COM
bined population of 58,S42 have one
senator and two representatives.
Nicollet county, with a population of
14,125, has one senator and one rep-
resentative Consequently, one voter
in Nicollet county is as well repre-
scented in the state senate as four in
this district and Nicollet county has
a senator and representative Of its
own while Beltrami county, larger
by 5000, has neither.

OTTUMWA PLEASED
OVER DECISION
Think That Recommendation for
Permission to Build Power Dams
Means Great Boon.

People along the Des Moines river
are overjoyed with the recommends
ton of the secretary of war that per-
mission be given the Des Moines
River Power Company to construct
sixteen dams in the river, one of
which is to be located at Ottumwa,
one at Keosauqua and the remaining
fourteen at points to be selected by
the power company. If the dams are
built it will be at distances of IF
teen miles apart.
Reports from Ottumwa say that
the Des Moines River Power Com
pany. and a Chicago construction
company would be glad to see the
dams started carry in the spring 1t
is thought that the dam at Ottumwa
would generate about 200 horse
power The agitation for power
dam at Ottumwa has been going on
for some time and it was the citizens
who have been pushing the plan to Sc
cure the necessary authority for the
company.
Many people about this city are
skeptical as to the ultimate outcome
of the project To build power dams
fifteen miles apart is thought to be
impracticable and the overflow dam
age in the Des Moines Hver would be
very great. Reports say, however,

The Quickest. Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and CheapIy Made at
Home. Saves You 81.

This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family 8 long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is. it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy. too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
