Cavalier County Republican: Even
though the legislature did meet to
provide funds all that could be done
would be to appropriate money out of
the general fund and as we understand
it there is not any more money in that
fund than what is necessary for the
purposes for which it is intended.
While it is true that many of the in
situations are in a bad fix still they
can wait without any serious results
with the exception of the asylum for
the insane, which has got to be en-
larged from time to time. In fact in
that institution no curtailment can be
made either in extensions or mainten-
ance, because people will go crazy and
they must be cared for. while in the
educational institutions it is different.
Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Calling
an extra session of the legislature for
the express purpose of assembling a
constitutional convention would be the
best and most popular service the
governor could render the people Of
the state.
Langdon Courier Democrat: This
speci91 -~' N-~i~oss. as viewed by
the governor. is quite similar to buying
a pig in a ~poke-there might be some
thing sprung on him that didn't hap
pen to be on the cards.
Davenport Review: This
e that the members who served
during the last session will be called
upon to go to Bismarck in the near
futute. One question ARISES as to
whether the large number of employees
of the last session will continue a part
of the assembly at so much per.
Dickinson Press: Certain agencies
have been at work in the interests of
a special legislative session, but it does
not look now as though Governor
White would be warranted in calling
the legislators together. There is an
un~mistakeable feeling. among the peo.
ple that it would not be a wise thing
to do.
Sheyenne Star: Yes, if Gov. White
can stem the tide of unnecessary ex'
penses, it will be alright for an extra
session to make the necessary pro
visions for the various institutions
But in our opinion the expenses will
far exceed what he expects-and there
you are.
Buffalo Express: The only solution
the Express sees is to let the institu
tions get along as best they may til
the next legislature meets, or call ar
extra session.
Casselton reporter: The state
bankers don't care to take invalid
bonds and decline to put up the money
for the state institutions. It's up tc
the members of the legislature-ant
if they will be good, and do bushes!
and adjourn there may be al extra
session. If they won't do the proper
thing the institutions may have tt
suffer-and the people will have {
chance to say something next TIM
there's a vote.
