Dunn's Popularity Waning.


Each day of the session seems to
indicate the waning popularity of H.
H. Dunn, Albert Lea, former speaker
of the house. The trouble all dates
back to his fight on the reapportion-
ment bill. Last week saw the defeat
of two of his pet measures. One was
the so-called antitrust bill, which he
said was being opposed by the Hill
and the Weyerhaeuser interests, and
the other was his proposal to increase
the gross earnings tax on, street rail-
ways to seven per cent.
On account of Representative
Dunn's apparent unpopularity, some
Of the friends of the eastman dis
lance tariff bill are somewhat anxious
for it's welfare, because Representa-
tive Dunn is scheduled to lead the
fight for the measure in the house,
when it comes up as a special order
on March 49,. This anxiety, however,
is hardly warranted, since 1t seems to
be a fOregone conclusion that the
same alignment found in the senate
the city against the country mem
bers-will be sufficient to carry it
through.
Some of the most progressive mem
bers in the senate are inclined to the
opinion that there will be no general
public utilities bill passed by the leg
%islature this session. They do not be-
lieve there Is much sentiment for such.

Jortty of the lawmakers are sufficient
~ informed on the proposition to vote
i~ntelligently, and the chances are
that it will either be smothered in
committee or reported for passage at
the eleventh hour when lack Of time
will be considered a good excus to

~ O~SO~ ~
st. Paul, March 1O.-There are at
least twelve senator's who would like
to see the defeat of the reapportion-
ment bill passed by the house. They
are the ones now representing the
First and Third districts. Notwith-
standing the concession of the senate
reapportionment committee in allow
ing each district one more senator
than is provided by the house bill it
is apparent that the members of the
First and Third will fight to the end
to retain their present numerical rep
resentation.
From a strictly selfish viewpoint
n cannot blame the senators for
looking after their W interests.
The southern part of the state has
dominated the law-making body of
the state for so long a time that it is
considered a heritage of the solons
+.fsshm that section.
The house bill proposed to reduce
the number of senators in each dis
trict mentioned by three, by pairing
the following counties o represent
ed by n senator each, as follows:
John Moonan, Waseca and T. E..
eastman, Steele.
F. J. Thoe, Dodge, and C. F. Cook,
Mower.
F. A. Duxbury, Houston and S. A.
Nelson, Fillmore.
The above are all from the First
district, and the following now rep
resent the Third district:
H. N. Benson, Nicollet and Harry
Weiss, LIE Sueur.-
A. A. Poehler, siblee, and G. R.
Donaldson, Mcleod.
j. A. Collier, Scott and Chas. H.
Klein, Carver.
Each of the six senators in each of
the two districts is now pulling to
have his own county made an indie
pendent senatorial district. Their in
ability to agree is the cause for de-
laying the introduction of the bill.
Unless they take advantage of the ad-
ditional two senators allotted them,
the committee may decide to intro
duce the bill and let them fight the
matter out on the senate floor.

Dressing By The Thermometer.


Unchangesble clothes. not the change
able weather, are responsible for much of
the grippe and many of the colds that are
prevalent just now lfpeople would use
judgment in the way they dress, they
would not be obliged to worry about
every rise or fall of the temperature.
Suit your clothing to the weather. II
you perspire in an overcoat on warm
day 1t Is likely that you will he chilly the
next day In the same overcoat II the
thermometer drops towards zero. If 1t
is moderate, do not put on your overcoat.
Then when It gets colder you will be able
TO enjoy the effect OF extra clothing.
When you go into a heated train, take
your overcoat off. Ifyou are obliged to
stay in a warm office even for short
time, do not keep your overcoat on. The
temperature indoors remains about the
same all the year round. Therefore, the
extra warmth Is not needed. Don't wear
heavy underclothes. II is more import
ant to pay attention TO the kind of over
coat you put on than to use the heaviest
underwear in the market
Do not wear zero clothing in zoo tenn
perature, for the heavier clothes will do
you little good when the temperature
falls. Common sense 10 dress will save
many doctor, bills. Karl de Schweinitz.

You will observe now that nothing Is
being said about the enormities and the
iniquities of the tariff. During the cam
psign of last fall all of our ills we're as
cribed to the wicked Payne. Aldrich tariff
aud President Taft was denounced as
something of an intellectual monstrosity
for having signed it. Now the policy of
let the tariff alone, or at least touching ii
very gently, is promulgated as the only
wise policy for the Democratic party TO
pursue. High pressure business pros
perity, such as we now enjoy, is not re-
gsrded as possible under anything but
ample protection by any sincere free
trader. But why go into spasms about
the robber tariff, and then decide to let 1t
go ahead and rob? -Punxy Spirit.

Special Road Election Probable.

Among the early matters for considera-
ton by the Legislature of Pennsylvania
when it convenes this week will be the
measure to submit to the voters of tie
state The proposed constitutional amend
ment to borrow $50, 900, 900 for construc-
tion of highways, says the Titusville
Herald. This procedure will he in the
form OF joint resolution, which takes
the same course as bill. and which must
pass three readings in each house of the
general assembly and then be certified to
the governor. Constitutional amend
ments can be voted on by the people only
after having been passed by two legisls-
lures.
Two years ago the legislature approved
of the proposed amendment and If the
resolution is passed this year the people
of the state will have an opportunity to
register their will very soon. One of the
plans discussed is a bill to submit the
question TO the people al special election
to be held within ninety days after the
passage of the resolution. which would
enable the present legislature to enact
ways and means to carry the amendment
into effect.
A special election would settle the
question very promptly and this plan sp-
pears to meet with general favor among
the Legislators. II the amendment is not
submitted to the people this year in time
to permit the present legislature 10 pass
the necessary act to provide for the issu-
ing of the bonds, the highway building
program must await the action OF the
legislature of 1915.
