fulfilled its obligation in establishing
or assisting to establish a just and
fair freight rate. Mr. Deisem de-
clared the commission had done all it
could with the limited means at its
disposal. ,,.l
The commission refused further
questioning before the house, so Mr..
Streeter made a motion asking that
a committee of three be appointed to
formulate a series of questions to be
submitted to the commission and com
polling them to answer. Put to vote
the motion was lost.
A discussion of the commission de-
veloped the further fact that it was
underpaid. This matter was just
getting well under way, when at the
psychological moment the whistle Ct
sthe street car was heard and reminded
the tired lawmakers of quitting time.
So the. house took recess until $3.50
this morning.

Look Close to Details.

Grand Forks Herald: In the appor-
tionment bill which has been agreed
on by the house committee there is
one error which has undoubtedly
arisen through copying from the old
records, while the conditions have
changed in the meantime. Among the
units which are to comprise the
Seventh legislative district are
enumerated the First and Second
wards as now constituted. That is
the language of the old law, and it
is evidently desired to make no
change. It happens, however, that
since that law was passed, the. ward
situation has changed, and the
Seventh ward has been created from
territory formerly included in the
Second. The Seventh ward is moi
mentioned in the bill There may be
other cases of similar character II
would be a good idea for each mem
Der to examine carefully the descrip
ton Of his own district, to see thai
there are no oyersights.

After the reading of the report
Speaker Twichell. who had placed Mr..

company with the two other commits

Mr.. Deisem, who was seated In the
rear of the house chamber, stated he
had stated everything he had to say,
in the. report, and a lively discussion
ensued.

at the commissioner and piled him
with the Interrogation:

local APPLICATION OF LAWS.

The passage of any measure by the
legislature looking to better enforce
ment of law or to regulate the powers
and qualifications of public officials so
that the interests of the people rather
than the selfishness of the individual,
will be looked after, will, of course,
meet with some "'locar' opposition on
the ground of local application"
Any measure that tends directly or
Indirectly to divorce some Bismarck
and Burleigh county officials from the
bling pig industry-any measure that
would prevent an official from being
an open Iaw-breaker or the benef-
ciary of rents for buildings to be used
for unlawful purposes measure
ITO protect the pay checks of laborers
from the grasp of tin-horn gamblers
amy measure calculated to dis
courage vice, purify the ballot and
protect the interests of the taxpayers
and the good name of the community
any measure to compel states at
fOrney, sheriff, mayor, council
man or any other official to do his
duty under his oath of Office, will OF
course be opposed by that element in
Bismarck that has in the past be
smirched the good name of the Capital
City, boosted of its immunity and If
allowed further lease of life will again
bring the city into disrepute and a
condition of irrepairable blight
With a few officials in Bismarck in
league with blind piggers or engaged
directly or indirectly in the business
themselves, no wonder every whole

eulated to discourage this condition
OF affairs wherever 1T may exist in
the state, meets with opposition OF

CLERK HIRE
PROPOSITION TO LEAVE THE
CLERICAL ASSISTANCE NEED N.
ED IN STATE OFFICES TO
AUDITING BOARD

Senator I.aMoure's joint resolution
authorizes the state auditing board, A
which consists Of the governor, state
auditor and attorney general, In
their discretion, from time to time lf' as
the necessities may arise, to employ
additional clerical assistance IN the

better than the legislature, to know
the real needs Of the various Offices.
The resolution reads as follows:
Be It Resolved by the Senate Of the
State of North Dakota, the House
of Representatives Concurring::
That the state auditing board may,
in their discretion from time to time
as the necessity therefor may appear
to them, authorize the emplo yment in
the different state Offices at the
capitol, Of clerical assistance to en-
able the different state officers to
properly fulfill their duties. The said
state auditing board shall act on writ
Item applications only, which applica-.
tions shall be signed by the state
officer desiring the additional clerical
assistance, giving the name of the
party desired to be employed, the.
probable time of such employment and
The salary that should be paid such
person. On receiving such written APP
plication the said board shall, by
resolution, duly entered in the minutes
of their proceedings, approve or dis
approve the said request, state the
person authorized to be employed, the
duration of such employment, the
salary to be received and such other
and further directions as to said
| board may seem proper. On receipt
of duly certified copy of such resolu-,
urer from time to time for the sum
ton the state auditor is authorized to
draw his warrant on the state treas
authorized to be paid and a sufficient
appropriation to cover the same out
of any funds in the. state treasury is
hereby made.
Be It Further Resolved, That in the
judgment Of this Legislative Assembly
the provisions of this resolution should
take effect at once; therefore an
emergency is declared to exist and

take effect from and after its pas
