the measure which was introduced by
resolutions adopted at the recent meet
ing of the North Dakota Editorial asso-
citation held in Bismarck. 1t provided

papers of semi-annual statement of
/ the auditor and treasurer of each
! county
Mr. McGahan spoke in favor of the
| bill and moved that the vote by which
| ii was killed be reconsdered. He
said that 1t was not in any way what
could be termed a newspaper graft, "

during the past few days. and said that
! the cost to each county would be a
small affair as compared with the
worth to the taxpayers Mr.. Van
/ Arnam and Mr.. Shells also spoke in
/ favor of the bill and Mr.. Cassell Mr..
Chaffee and Mr.. Gilbert spoke against
I It. claiming that the cost of such pub.
/ lications would amount to a great sum
