The resubmission bill introduced
by Representative Streeter was voted
on and effectually killed last week.
Many of those who voted against the
measure were no doubt under the i'm
preston that they were voing in favor
of prohibition and againts the liquor
men, but Mr.. Sreeter has gone to the
trouble of getting some interesting fig
ures from the internal revenue depart
ment which shows that there were
issued last year 1,011 retail liquor
dealers license to parties in North
Dakota, and 1859 in South Dakota,
which has high license. Comparing
the population of the two states we find
that North Dakota has a retail liquor
dealer for every 315 persons while
South Dakota has one for every 818. II

The Commercial Bulletin of Mime

lished an editorial expressing thei
views with regard to the intent O.
House bill No. 30, introduced by
Stevens of Burleigh county. 1t runs
as follows:
"a fitting title for House Bill No
20. recently introduced in the NORTH
Dakoa legislature would be: "A Bill
To Put To Sleep Pure Food Law En-
forcement in North Dakota.
lit has been understood for some
time that those manufacturers who use
coal tar dyes and chemical preservatives
in food and who dislike publicity in
connection with pure food department
work were preparing dose that would
fix the North Dakota food law and
the North Dakota commissioner.
"Whether House Bill No. 20, il
that particular dose or not is not
known, but to man up the tree il
looks as if the bill devised to pu
North Dakota on the back seat from 8
pure food standpoint had arrived.
"This bill says nothing of coal tai
dyes and chemical preservatives, Of
course.
cit places the enforcement Of the
pure food law in the hands of a com
mission composed of two state officers
and commissioner to be appointed by
the governor. That would dispose OF
Commissioner E. F. Ladd who is toe
much Of real enforcer Of law to suit
certain manufacturers Of food products
who have always regarded North Da-
kota as something easy. Irregular
meetings of the commission are pro
vidcd for, but no one has authority tc
make inspections. Other woodchucks
of the same color are in evidence.
''This bill also omits any provision
for an annual report of the depart
ment g work. It is assumed, evident
ly, that the people do not care whether
the are kept in ignorance of the sub
ject or not
''The Commercial Bulletin and
Northwest Trade believes that the day
has gone by when the people and the
legislature of North Dakota can be
film -fammed by any such scheme.
North Dakota has made record in
the past two years which has put her
in the front rank of pure food states.
She has made that record on good
law. That law may need strengthen
ing in some particular, but we doub bit
if the public sentiment which created
it and which has been such a powerful
factor in it's enforcement will stand for
this House Bill No. 20.

valuable pipes from one of their show
