To Remain
Unchanged

(By The Associated Negro Press
Washington, ID. G., Jan. 31.-
The House Of Representatives for
the second time in its history halt
ed the decennial increase of it's
membership.
By vote of 267 to IS it was de-
termined that the house during the
next ten years shall be composed Of
the present number Of representa-
tives435. Only once before has
the house resisted the temptation to
increase it's membership following
a census in order to avoid the rep
resentation reduction Of any state
In 1841 the house membership was
reduced by ten.
Under the plan Of apportion-
ment adopted today eleven states
lose and eight states gain represen-
tatives, while fssenty nine ststes
suffer no change.
Missouri loses two members and
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Rhode Island, and Vermont
one each.
California gains three, Michigan
and Ohio two each, and Connect.
cut, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Texas and Washington one each.
A sectional fight was started
when Representative Tinkham,
Massachusetts,, sought to have writ
ten into the reapportionment bill
the provision of the constitution
which authorizes the house to re-
duce representation from any state
which denies or abridges the right
to it's citizens or Of the United
States to vote.
He held that several southern
states deny their Negro citizens
that right.
Representatives Garrett, Tennes-
see, and Towner, Iowa, opposed this
amendment. Representative Camp
bell, Kansas, chairman during con:
sideration, told Tinkham he would
have another opportunity to make
his charge, and the house could be
called to act after the apportion-
ment now being authorized should
become effective, March %, 1923.
The various states affected will
have two years to redistrict them,
selves. Voting for representatives
under the new apportionment will
not take place until November
1922. The seats Of the representa-.
tives elected last November are not
affected.

to this country since the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, is 33,0OO,-

Of unrest grows ana grows to undue

THE COMING CITY ELECTION

The city election is drawing near.
Little interest is being taken in it.
MOSCOW needs a strong, business adj
ministration. 1t needs men at the
head who are broad minded and can
see more than one issue. There is no
place now for a one-ideaed man in
the city government. Moscow needs
no radicals at the helm. There is
more than one issue before the peo-
pie. The greatest issue is to press
forward and make Moscow bigger
and better town than it is or ever
has been.
Moscow should have no factions
and no fractional fights. All of the
better class of citizens want to see
Moscow bigger, better and cleaner
town and should unite with that end
in view and elect a strong man for
mayor and strong city council. The
man elected as mayor should be one
who has never been identified with
any faction and can be supported
Loyalty by all. We have many such
men. Let US elect one such as mayor
and give him good strong council.
There are two men in the city hall
whose records have been good. They
have served the city long and well
and have given general satisfaction.
Those men are j. R. Strong, city
clerk, and L. T. Hammond, city treas
urer. Both have been faithful, both
are efficient and each should be re-
tanned. The city clerk is elective.
The city treasurer appointive. Mr..
Hammond has served long as the ap-
pointee of several mayors, who re-
tanned him in office because of his
ability and worth. Mr.. Strong was
retained by the voters for the same
seasons.

THE NEW CIGARETTE LAW


The legislature at last succeeded in
passing fairly sensible anti-cigar-
cite law after passing one that was a
joke, if not farce and which could
never have been enforced, in so far
as preventing smoking is concerned.
The new law makes a severe penalty
for selling or giving cigarettes to
minors. 1t strikes at the very root,
instead of the topmost branches of
the evil. 1t is useless to try to re-
form the confirmed cigarette smoker,
but there will be fewer of these in
later years if boys are kept from the
habit.
The law that prevents the smoking
of cigarettes by boys is a good law
and it ought to be easy to enforce it,
if backed by public sentiment. We
have laws and ordinances to this eff
feet but they have not been enforced.
The new law provides a penalty that
will make dealers think twice before
it. The forfeiture of bond
of $500 and license costing $50 ac
by fine and Imprisonment
will cause dealers who have openly
the present law and ordinan-
ces, to respect the new law.
1t is hoped the new law will be
enforcd. The legislators
acted wisely replacing the law first
passed which permitted the importa-
lion and smoking Of cigarettes but
prevented their sale in the state, with
me to protect boys.

DISCOVERED A STILL
Located West of Big St.
German on Shores of
Long Lake.

During the period of forest fires
over i'm the towns of Arbor Vitae
and Plum Lake a couple weeks
ago. a moonshine still in active
operation was discovered near the
shores of Long lake which lies
east of the St. Paul railroad and
west of Big st. German lake.
Frank Long, a ranger 70. the
forestry commission. who h 5 his
headquarters on Plum lake across
from Sayner village. while fight
ing fires in the section south of
Sayner and west of Big St. Ger
main lake, saw plume of smoke
start up from over near Long
lake. Upon investigation he
found il came from a point on the
west shore of the lake in the
woods nearby. AS he neared the
fire he saw several men running
away which aroused his suspi-
cions. A still in active operation
accounted for the supposed forest
fire.
There is an old logging road
leading into Long lake from near
the old Plum lake road off state
trunk highway 40, and near where
the branch road goes into Big
Woods Lodge on Big st. German.
This road is about two miles in
length and ends at some old log
ging camps, abandoned years ago.

CLEANED OUT STUMPS
Land Clearing Department
Gave Denominations in
Several Towns Last Week.

Members of the state land
clearing department were in Villas
county last week and cleared
several acres for farmers in near
by towns. demonstrating the value
of dynamite when properly placed
under the stump in the fields.
Mr.. Fielder. the demonstrators,
together with local members of
the land clearing organization,
gave exhibitions near Big Bass
lake. Black Oak lake. Reeds cor.
nerS and near the Otter Rapids
dam. The result of these demon
stTatiOns show that the man who
wishes to get rid of his Stumps at
low cost. can very easily do so
if he but learns the proper use Of
explosives and goes at land clear
ing in a systematic manner.
While explosives are falling in
price. it is also stated by those
who know conditions that there
is some hopes of it dropping still
lower, lesSening the cost per acre
TO such an extent that the an
ducement for cleared acres will
become a necessity in placing
every farm in Villas county upon
a hundred per cent basis of adj
vancement.
Other demonstrations through
out the county will be held later
this summer, as soon as other
local organizations can be formed.
The expense of the demOnStra-
tione Just held has been borne BY
business men of Eagle River and
vicinity.
