Gov. Sarles and Gov..Elect Burke Will
Deliver Addresses to Legislature Tuesday
he North Dakoa State Legislature Has Convened in Biennial Session

| hotel lobbies have been converted in
to halls for the discussion of politics
and on every hand the talk is politics.
1t Is certain that politics grow as
abundantly in the state as does hard
wheat and it is far less trouble to mar
ket the politics than it is the cereal.
One thing which impresses the new
conner is the large number of farmers

OF the members, but | would make a
guess and expect to be as safe as
Major Hamilton's election predictions,

the two houses are farmers. Ihad all
ways believed that the laws could
not be successfully made without law
yers, but the present legislature in
dicates that the people of this state do
not agree with this observation. But
these farmers are politicians. They
take to the occupation as duck to
water. They have the story of the
state and its political history so that
they can reel the thing off to you by
the yard and produce the figures and
facts to back up the same. 1t is in
teresting to talk to those farmers.
Many of them take to law-making
naturally and consider the strenuous
work of the session as they would a
holiday. All have some legislation up
the sleeve to spring at the proper time
and to urge with all the energy of a
statesman.
There are many new faces especial
ly in the lower house. Some of the
counties have sent entirely new dele
cations. Ramsey has sent three
new men-two of them farmers, and
the other a machinery dealer They
are all bright men and in time will
make good legislators. But it seems
rather odd thu after Ramsey county
had reached to.---,,ugh her representa-
tlves, commanding position in the
house, that an entirely new delega-
tion should be. sent. Unfortunately,
the law of the survival of the fittest
and the Frank. maxim of God help
MS IuooC VIII llcllJ lIleulSSlNGS, are
largely the rules OF the game here as
it is in all other legislatures. Ex-
perience counts for much and the
county which is wise enough to return
old and experienced members, or at
least part of the delegations as such,
will have an advantage over the ones
which send all new men. The new
men will be all right when they get
the ropes we'll in hand but it takes
time to do that. One thing which
seems peculiar to the man who listen
ed to the discussions on the hustlings
last fall, and who was made to believe
that the scramble and intrigue and
political work would be excluded from
the legislature, is the fact that it is
more pronounced, am told by old
observers, than ever before. Somehow
the impression got out that the meet
ing of the legislature would be largely

tBy e. c. Snyder,

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 7.-Senator
Hansbrough today introduced a bill
relating to combinations of homestead
entries. The proposed measure is gel:-
eral in its character and fits in well
and will be read with interest in all
states where in there remain lands
upon which the homesteader may 60.
Senator Hansbrough in brief synop-
sis of his bill today said:
Under ruling of the interior de.
partment made February 27, 1906, it
was held that in order to commute an
entry under the homestead act the
entryman must have resided upon the
land for eight months continuously
after the six months of constructive
residence. Prior to the above men,
toned ruling it was possible for all
entryman to leave his land FOR month
or so at a time without jeopardizing
his right to commute at the end Of
eight months actual residence.
"Since the ruling has gone into effect
many entrymen have acted under the
old rules of the department, not know
ing Of the new one, and have left their
aand for short periods with the result
that when they endeavored to commute
their proofs We're hell .nn. The. pro-
posed bili giDs these people the
right to make their proofs under the
old ruling of the department. In
many parts OF the country it is iln-
possible on account Of climatic con-
ditions to remain the entire winter
upon homestead
Senator Hansbrough also today in
troduced a bill to define the status
Of certain patents and pending en-
tries, selections and filings on lands
formerly within the Fort Berthuld In
dian reservation in North Dakota. The
lands in question were originally set
apart for the Arickaree Gros Ventre
and Mandan Indians and form part Of
what was known as the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation. They were opened
to settlement and entry under the
homestead laws by the presidents
proclamation issued May 90, 1891.
Representative Mondell OF Wyoming
today introduced bill OF general
interest to Indians residing upon res
ervations susceptible to irrigation. Tne
bill provides that all lands allotted
to Indians in seyeralty or reserved for
their use in common, susceptible OF
irrigation may be leased for term of

Washington, D. c.. Jan. big pol
itics will be played in the next two
months in congress of the United
States, for that is all the time thai
congress will have to play politics
until by operation of law the 59th con-
gress ceases to exist.
Already the leaders in the senate and
house are taking counsel with one
another with view of agreeing upon
program that will choke Oft all gen.
eral legislation except the passage
of the big money bills and Il river and
harbor measure wherein the "pork >
will be pretty generally scattered
about. But even should the leaders,
and that means the representatives of
the administration-reach an agree
ment as to the legislation to be passed,
it is thought that the anti-administra-
tion crowd in the senate will make
it mighty interesting and put up a
fight that will be worth coming miles
to see.
