Mr.. Roney's bill providing for :
board of railroad commissioners is .
good measure and should become .
law. Among the good points it con.
tains are as follows:
"No person shall be qualified te
hold the office who is the owner o.
bonds or stocks in any railroad com.
pany or who is in the employ of any
railroad, elevator company or cor.
poration, or who is not a qualified
elector or actual resident of NORTH
Dakota.
1t provides that the railroad com
missioners shall have general super.
vision of all railroads of the state anc
the conduct and management of sale
roads with reference to the safety anG
convenience of the public.
1t compels the railroads when re.
quested by any person wishing tc
ship grain to provide cars fo1 theil
use, and to place said cars on side.
track convenient for use, and easy o
access; also allow a reasonable time
for loading same.
1t provides that any person may
erect warehouse or elevator ada
cent to any side track that is on thei,
right of way provided it is not already
occupied.
No railroad company shall charge,
demand or receive from any person.
or corporation, an unreasonable price
for the transportation of persons OF
property, or the hauling or storage
of freight, or the use ofits cars.
1t shall be unlawful for any railroad
company to enter into any combina-
ton with another company or corpor-
alton or pooling of business.
Any person receiving car lots Of
freight shall have twenty-four hours
free Of charge, after arrival of same in
which to unload, and the car is to be
placed where it will be easy of ac-
cess.
1t provides that the commissioners
shall personally investigate all COM
plants, and if such complaint war
rant prosecution it shall be there du-
ty to commence suit against any COM
pany who may violate this act.

with prosecutions in the name of the

Dakota winters will soon lose their
terrors if this fine weather continues.
Last winter was a beautiful one and
this season up to the present time the
weather could not be more desirable.
Here it is nearly the first OF January
and we have not had one of those
E'terrible blizzards' the mention OF
which makes the marrow turn cold in
the bones ofthe average down easter.
Stock are roaming about picking up
living which is helping out the hay
scarcity in great shape. If people
down east would spend winter in
North Dakota, there is not one OF
them but what would gladly change
their damp, raw atmosphere for the
invigorating, bracing air of North
Dakota.

Someone with very narrow guage
view of economy, has introduced a
bill in the legislature to cut down the
emoluments of the clerk of courts
Office over one-half. In counties
like Griggs, where the fees are few
and far between and do not afford
the clerk living, it would be an in
justice to cut down the fees. The
person holding this office has to
keep his office open all day and be
present whether he has anything tc
do or not, and if the revenues of his
office were cut down he would starve
to death. 1t 0would seem a better
plan to fix a competent salary and
give the clerk of court a chance
for living at the least. Oh
all the offices that should be "cut''
the clerk of court is the last one on
the list.
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1889-12-20

state of ofNorth Dakota under the pro-
visions of this act, shall be paid by
the state and all fines collected shall
go into the state treasury.
ANY railroad found guilty of viola
ting this act shall be fined not less
than 81 900 nor more than $4,000 "
The bill contains many good points
otlnterest to our farmer friends, bu,
the bill is too long to print in full. A
copy can be found at the COURIER
office for the inspection of anybody:
also blank petition which farmers
can sign if they desire to push the
passage of the bill.

A. bill has been introduced in the
North Dakota legislature to remove
the capital subject to the wish of the
people. The constitutional conven.
ton located the public buildings and
the people had no voice in the mat
ter. 1t looks pretty thin for forty
four men to decide for $1,000 voters.
Rush her through.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mayyille. N. d. Dec 1911,

Mayville, us yet unsung in song or
story, but nevertheless one of the bright
est and busiest towns III North Dakota,
beautifully situated on the Goose, in
close proximity to timber, with pretty
drive ways, handsome buildings, A
churches, banks, general stores, a
class Of energetic public spirited citi-
zcns, it has future before it that is full
of promise, while its numerous eleva-
tors, roller mill, creamery etc, etc,
present scene of activity and hustle on
every hand, that is-well we do not
mean to insinuate that the ladies have
taken to wearing the last named article
on their digits, for rs far as our limited
observation goes, they follow the usual
custom.
The most noticeable buildingsin May
vile arc the National bank and the gen
eral Offices of the Beidler & Robinson
Lumber Co., they being two story brick
buildings, finished and equipped in a
manner that reflects considerable credit
upon the finances and taste of the con-
Germs.
We have been renewing our acquaint-
ance with staging. Of this, as you
know, there are several kinds. There
is the kind that the carpenter erects and
sometimes gently slides you to mother
earth. We had an experience with this
kind, and the remembrance of the dull
thud with which we sat down on the
soft side of a ladder rung, is deeply
seated in our memory, and elsewhere
Then there is the kind that VIC hope the
Cronin murderers will soon be intro
duced to, in order that they may have
tho exquisite pleasure of dancing upon
nothing, but the kind that we refer to
consists of nendescript vehicle, at
tached to team, whose highest ambi-
tion is to kill time and passengers, and
to reduce the visible supply of oats. An
outfit of this kind, in a 40 mile drive,
with three in the seat (unless the third
party is sweet sixteen) is apt to make
one believe that "verily the inventions
of our forefathers are visited upon the
children unto the third and fourth gen
Grafton" Gen. 4-31. The next time we
stage it we shall hire the driver who
used to drive on an eastern route. Per-
haps you have heard of HIM. He drove
up to the hotel one night at 2:4O gait,
but no sooner did he rein in his horses
than down fell one of his leaders, stone
dead. Gee-whlttaker! exclaimed oke of
the bystanders, that horse died sudden.
Died sudden, retorted the driver, why
stranger, he died 9 mile back, but l
wouldn't let him stop.
just what influence johnson will ex-
ert in next falls election, is question
that we hear considerable discussion
upon. With some it is significant fact
that Casey developed no strength until
after the arrival OF his millionaire
brother from St. Paul. They are in
clined to desert a party that will cheat
man out of fairly earned nomination.
Others stigmatize j. as chronic Office
seeker, who loves not the people but
johnson. In this as in all things, time
will tell. II.

Senator Deisem has introduced
senate bill No. Al, which appears to
be good bill on the surface. 1t GER
tainly ought to encourage our farmers
to plant trees, as it not only gives
them bounty for so doing, but saves
them from paying taxes for ten years
"a big item. The bill provides a
bounty of two dollars per acre shall
be paid by the state treasurer for ten
years upon every acre planted to
trees and cultivated for three years
previous to filing application for this
bounty. 1t also provides that where
five acres of trees have been planted
and cultivated three years, the quar-
ter section upon which the same is
located shall be free from taxes for
ten years, provided the 100 acres of
land aforesaid and the improvements
thereon shall not be valued at more
than $1,000. This bill certainly
ought to become law.
