SETTLERS RESIDENCE
Early Information Erroneous Those Taking Advan-
tase Of the Leave Of Absence Resolution Will
Have to Make up the Time, According to Present
Ruling Of Interior Department.

!. Tribune: And now the general land
department at Washington puts diff
ferent Interpretation on the recent reso-
luton that Senator Hansbrough had
passed granting three months leave of
absence-than the author of the bill
anticipated. The department holds that
in case of commutation the three months
will have to be made up by the settler.
Commenting on telegram in recent
issue of the Bismarck Tribune to the
effect that the three months absence
under the resolution which recently be-
came law, would be counted as con-
structive residence and settlers would
not be required to make it up, Senator
Hansbrough writes:
This information is erroneous, for
find after further investigation that the
absence under the resolution will not be
counted as residence but will have to be
made up by subsequent residence. This
is the construction that has been placed
by the department upon the words, "shall
not be deucted." However, it is unrea-
sonable to suppose that, in the light of
all the circumstances leading up to the
passage of this resolution, the depart.

Cannot Hold Two Offices

Senate bill No. 4, introduced by Mr..
Johnson of Mclean, relating to the quail
ifcations of state, county and city Off
GERS, passed the senate on January 25th
by vote of 36 to 4.
This measure provokes considerable
discussion. AS it passed the senate and
is now in the house the bill reads as fol-
lows:
Section I. No person shall be quail
fed to held two or more elective offices
under this state, or any county, or any
city Of this state by virtue of either of
which offices he may be permitted or re-
quired to act as member of any board
or body the duties of which may require
or permit him to review or approve his
own official acts, or the acts of any other
board or body of which he may be a
member; nor shall any person be quail
fed to hold at the same time city office
and county Office, except the Offices of
justice of the peace, city magistrate,
treasurer, superintendent Of schools, cor
oner, surveyor or constable.
Sec. 2. All acts and parts of acts in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. Whereas, elections will be
held for certain of the offices herein
mentioned prior to July 1, 1907, there
fore an emergency exists, and this ac1
shall take effect and be in force from
and after its passage and approval.
This is a meritorious measure. L
prevents the punching" of offices ane
prohibits a person from sitting as ;
member of any board that may require
him to review his own acts.
4 Under this act person could not b.
a member of the city equalization boart
and at the same time be a member o
the county or state equalization board
an alderman and county officer;
mayor and county commissioner; ant
so on. The bill does not, as some claim
legislate man out of office, but if h
holds more than one, legislates him dow,
to one.
Section 81 of the constitution of Nortl
Dakota provides that mo person ca,
become member of the legislature VIII
holds any other office of profit in thi
state or under the government of tn
United States"
If it is wise that legislator shall nc
hold another office of profit or homo
] while legislator, how much""more mer
torious is this measure that restrict
office holding and discourages count
and city rings.

The 1907 Session Laws.

The present session of the legislature
promises to make a lot of trouble for
the new 1905 code. Up to date great
many more bills have been introduced
than any session of the past. If you do
not get copy of the new measures, you
will not know what is the law. The
quickest, cheapest and best way to know
the new law is to buy copy of the
"Pocket Edition" This viii be prilnef
within a few days after the governor has
disposed of the last measure before him
1t will, in addition to the laws, contain a
lot of North Dakota statistical matter
which will be of interest, we think. The
"Pocket Edition" will cost but dollar
and its possession may save you much
more than this. Send this sum and youl
address and the PRESS will have copy
delivered to you as soon as printed. i

ment would so construe it that it would
be held to break the continuity of the
settlers residence, requiring thereafter
fourteen months continuous residence,
and l do not believe that it will be so
construed. There has been considerable
confusion and misunderstanding as to
the meaning of the proviso in the first
resolution, and thought l had better
make this explanation to you in order
that you might correct the erroneous
impression which has gone out to the
effect that absence under the resolution
does not have to be made up.
Such an Interpretation by the depart
ment is manifestly unjust. If this inter
probation is adhered to it would have
been better for many settlers if no such
resolution had been passed. Three
months absence, under the climatic con
ditions existing this winter, would moi
have jeopardized the claimants rights
on five-year proof, and it is doubtful il
it would have affected the claimant who
anticipates Communication.
1t is to be hoped that the department
will not hold that the three months alb
sence provided for shall break the con
tinuity of the settlers residence.

Agent Will Not Include

On February the PRESS published,
under the head ITO Prevent Fraud" the
order of President Roosevelt under date
of January IS, holding up all final proofs,
with but few exceptions, until a special
agent of the government reported
favorably upon the issuance Of patents.
Since the issuance of the order many
commercial bodies in North Dakota
have passed resolutions memorializing
the president to modify the order. which
was issued primarily to head of the
wholesale frauds out west in the timber
land districts. The conditions in the
agricultural states did not justify such a
sweeping order and be it said to Presi-
dents Roosevelt's credit, if he can be
shown he does not hesitate to reverse
himself.
Senators and representatives from
North Dakota promptly brought to the
presidents consideration of the injustice
that would be done the thousands oi
honest farming homesteaders in thls
state under the order referred to
President Roosevelt is reported as say
ing: "My heart is with the settler in the
sod house, who is trying to make home

Under date of February 9, a Washing
ton dispatch says: The president is con
vinced that the order is too sweeping
and has agreed to modify it so as te
