Union.

Educational Measures.

The different qualities of the public
school system Of the state are being
given attention. Several bills have
been introduced for the giving Of
state aid to graded rural schools and
state graded schools in towns and cit
les. In all Of the measures there is
given impetus for the people to inn
prove the character of the buildings,
to have the important matters of ven
tilation and sanitary features given
better attention, as well as the raising
Of the standard of teachers and the
lengthening OF the school term.

AN INDUSTRIOUS LEGISLATURE.

Legislative news from Bismarck has
not been very readily obtained since the
the train service has left Langdon out
side of the world for the past week or so,
but it is a fact that a Hood of bills were
introduced in the North Dakota legis-
lature the first eleven days of the session
eclipsing all previous records, and the
subjects covered embrace about every
reform that has been brought forward
IN the last two campaigns. it seems
TINT the same condition exists in other
states and in u sister state of Mime
sofa three times the number of bills
have already been introduced that were
in evidence two years ago in the same
length of time. As compared with two
years ago the record of bills introduced
in the North Dakota legislature is as
follows:

in case the wner should default.
There is a bill making Labor day a
legal holiday and one providing that
marriages may be solemnized in oun
ties other than the one in which the
license is issued. Bills have been In
PRODUCED in both houses materially
Strengthening the pure food law and
increasing the appropriation for it's
enforcement. The temper of the leg
islature is decidedly in favor of this.
There is also a bill raising the juris-
diction of justices, evidently aimed so
that they can act in violations of the
prohibition law. The railroads come
In for considerable attention through
the medium of several bills.
The Prohibition Law.
There is little talk about resubmis-
sion in connection with the constitu-
tional prohibition law of this state.
Rather, there are efforts being made
to strengthen the law. A we'll drawn
bill is before the house which provides
that every owner, agent or other per-
son who directly or indirectly lets

for the sale of or dealing in iptoxicat-
ing liquors shall be guilty Of a mis-
demeanor, which shall be punishable

ment, and, in addition, if the person
be a public officer he shall forfeit his
right to hold such office and the judge
before which conviction is had shall
order such forfeiture.

Thus it will be seen that the present
legislature does not lack in industry and
a record of the measures reveals the
fact that it is somewhat long on reform
However, it is believed when this body
gets down to business and a serious dis
cussion of the measures a spirit of CON

cal or unfair measures Will find their

Senate Document.

A very valuable senate document
has been presented by Jud LaMoure.
1t gives tabulated information con
corning the condition of the land
grants and land grant funds Of the
different state institutions, permanent
fund receipts and investments, inter
est and income estimate for 1907 and
1908 and other information. For in
stance, the agricultural college state
ment, Jan. /. 1907, shows that the total
land grant for the institution was
10000 acres, of which $4,000 acres
have been sold, realizing a total of
$766,376, or al. average Of S12.15 per
acre. The permanent fund receipts
from contracts for sale of lands are
S154.630. nearly all of which is in
vested in bonds. The deferred pay.
ments for this year and next and
thereafter amount to S612,O17.56. The
interest and income %(estimated) for
1907 amount to s43,S37 and for 1908
$41,7SG.

Primary Bills.

Two or three primary election bills
have been introduced and one espe-
cially is attracting unusual attention.
1t is n introduced by Mr.. Casey,
who was the lone Democrat in the
house two years ago. 1t provides for
the popular election of United States
senator's and contains a feature in the
shape of two pledges which legislative
candidates may choose from and must
be embodied in their petitions for
candidacy. One is that the legislator
promises to support the candidate
during his term of Office chosen for
United States senator by the people
at the general election-that is, the
nan whom the people show their
preference for. In pledge No. 2 the
legislator is at liberty to consider the
vote of the people as nothing more
than a recommendation and may dis
regard the vote of the people In the
assembly if he considers he has sufi-
Gent and good reasons for SO doing.
AS Mr.. Casey is a Democrat Republic
ans are liable to look Upon the meas
ure as somewhat deceptive in its polit-
ical purport.

Penitentiary Industry.

1t seems to be generally conceded
Oh all sides that the Irvine plant at
the p%enitenttary is a good and profta-
BILE thing for the state. Warden
Boucher says that the plant made a
net profit of $4,000 last year. Two
interesting resolutions have been in
troduced In the house by Representa-
tive Aaker. Il to the effect that the
committee on state affairs secure esti-
mates as Year as possible to the cost
of increasing the Irvine plant at the
state penitenttary, such cost to be
based on q IS per cent and so per
cent increase. Mr., Aaker also wants
the committee on public printing to

ing a state printing plant at the peni-

one member of the house Is we'll In

LEGISLATORS ACTIVE
PRESENT SESSION PROMISES TO
BE A STRENUOUS ONE.
Number of Bills So Far introduced
Far Exceed the Figures for the
Same Period in 1e05-Some Impor.
tant Measures Proposed

Bismarck, Jan. 22.-The general as
sembly of North Dakota appears to
have set out to be an Industrious one.
The eleventh day marked the fact
that sev~enty-three bills had been in
troduced in the senate and e~ighty-siX
in the house, respectively 80 and 6S
per cent more than were introduced
in the corresponding period of 1905.
The indications are that the session
will be a strenuous one.
The house was organized by a coali-
ton of the insurgent Republicans and
Democrats-there are twelve of the
latter against Just one in the house
two years ago. On the roll call for
speaker it was disclosed that there
were only twenty-four who voted for
the straight Republican caucus candi-
date for speaker. There are 100 men,
bers In the house. Of which twelve are
Democrats. In the senate there are
forty members, OF which sever are
Democrats. and one of the latter is Il
holdover. 1t may be stated that in the
hous9 caucus, under the auspices OF
the insurgent forces, the Democrats
offered to withdraw. The senate was
organized by the Republicans, as what
ever differences existed there were
settled within the party exclusively,
The little effort made to organize the
senate by a coalition similar to that
In the house was so effectually frowned
upon that it was quickly seen that it
could not succeed and the movers
dropped the matter.

CONGRESS MAY CRITICIZE.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The posi-
bility that the issue of 1-year certif-
icates will be criticized In congress.
much in the same manner as the sale
of bonds to the Morgan syndicate to
protect the gold reserve in 1898, is
attracting some attention.
The fact that a republican member
of the house committee on banking.
Mr.. Prince of Illinois, Is quoted as
declaring the issue mot justifiable
under the existing conditions" is
considered a symptom of the atti-
tude which may be taken by few
members Of congress.
The criticism of President Cleve-
lands method IL 1898 went so far
that a committee was appointed to
investigate the contract with J. p.
Morgan & Co. A certain part of the
criticism at that time was directed
against the exclusive nature of the
contract and the criticism will not
lie against the present offer OF Sc
curities to the public unless some
thing occurs in making the awards
which may afford an opportunity to
the critics of the administration.
