The news ABS0RBS
FARGO MORNING CALL
CONSOLIDATION OF FARGO'S
TWO MORNING PAPERS SAID TO
TO BE EFFECTIVE MONDAY.

1t appears upon late advice that
the denial Of the story that the Morn
ing Call and the Daily News, both
morning dailies at Fargo, were to
unite, seems to be without founda-
ton. 1t is given out now authentic
ally that on either Monday or Tues
day of the coming week the News
will take over the Call, and thus Sc
cure the franchise of that paper.
This will give the News the ex-
elusive Associated Press morning
telegraph service, and probably prove
that the Forum will later on publish
a big Sunday morning edition SINH
lar to that of the Twin City papers.

SPOTTER CASE IN
SUPREME court
THIS WILL PROBABLY BE ONLY
CASE ARGUED At FARGO
TERN MONDAY.

There will be term of the supreme
court at Fargo next Monday but it is
not expected many cases will be
argued. There was no emergency
clause in the bill changing the terms
of the supreme court to Bismarck
from Fargo and Grand Forks and it
does not take effect until the first
of July. Among the cases that will
be argued will be the appeal to test
the validity Of the law authorizing
rewards TO be paid for the conviction
of blind piggers, known as the spot
ter" law. Most of the remaining
cases will go over and be argued
at a later date at Bismarck.

SENATOR WALTON ON THE PEN.
ITENTIARY INVESTIGATION

On his return home Senator Wal
ton of Dickey county, in discussing
legislative matters, spoke as follows:
"1n regard to the penitentiary af-
fairs, the matter was not nearly as
serious or the misrepresentation of
funds nearly as gross as one would
be lead to believe from reading the
accounts published in the papers of
the state. 1t was evident, however,
that the system of bookkeeping was
entirely inadequate to enable COM
plete investigation. There is no
question but that in the future an en-
tirely new system will be inaugural
ed and every means adopted to ena-
BILE the auditing committee to trace
all manufactured product and also
to find the exact cost of all material
and machinery purchased"
Referring to the difficulty that
arose between Secretary Of State
Blaisdell and some of the members
of the committee which investigated
his office, Senator Walton stated that
the matter was more personal than
official, as Mr.. Blaisdell and some of
the committee were neither politi-
cal nor personal friends.
Speaking further regarding the
normal-industrial school, Mr. Walton
was of the poinion that the work be-
ing accomplished here was not fair
ly understood over the state at large.
OF a majority of the people compar-
alive ly few have any idea of the
scope of the work or the magnitude
Of the undertaking. He expressed
himself of the poinion that if the
institution was more thoroughly un-
derstood by the people, and especi-
ally by the members of the legisla-
ture, it would be far easier to OBJ
tain the full amount of the approp-
ration necessary to carry on the
WI IL JILL JSoA ~ JooA' oAu eAoo ~
extend the great usefulness OF the
institution.
The Valley City contingent was ex-
ceptionally active in opposing all mes
aures in the interest of state educa-
tional matters which failed to bene-
fit the normal at that place. 1t was
entirely due to the pernicious ac-
tivity of the representatives of that
district that the constitutional
amendment changing the name Of
the Glendale school to normal-in-
dustrial was not adopted. The ac-
ton of the members from Valley
City was manifestly selfish. and ev-
cry measure which looked to tne
betterment and improvement of the
educational facilities Of North Da-
kota was bitterly opposed. This &C.
ton was as marked regarding other
institutions as we'll as the Eellen-
dale school. However, Senator Wal
ton had the satisfaction Of spiking
the guns Of the Valley City crowd on
one of their pet measures which
helped some in squaring accounts.
Furthermore, it was due to the sense
less OPPOSITION of the Valley City
members that the granting Of nor
NAL certificates to graduates of the
Glendale school failed to pass.

GRAZING REGULATIONS.

The plea which the sheepmen max,
for moderation in the matter of graz
ing regulations is certainly a proper
one and it should receive just con.
sideration at the hands of the for,
estry officials. If any of the sug-
gestions made by sheepmen can be
granted without harm to the reserves
most assuredly they should be grant
ed. 1t seems it should. not be hard to
determine what is good for the range
and for the forests and what is injuri-
Gus. This can be determined if cap
able and honest men are employed to
supervise the reserves.
OF course the forest reserves are
not intended primarily for the bene-
fit of the grazing industry and sheep
men cannot expect to have their
wishes gratified in every particular.
The forestry bureau must look first
to the protection of the forests and
by so doing safeguard the interests
of the general public. If the sheep
men were allowed too many privi-
leges such action would result in loss
to other interests and especially to
irrigationists.
On the other hand the government
should not consider the grazing of
the reserves as something entirely
inimical to the forests. There are
many practical men who firmly be-
lieve that the forests would be better
safeguarded if more closely grazed.
Closer grazing would result in the de-
struction of the underbrush and would
tend to protect against forest fires.
What is needed is an administration
of the reserves under which grazing
will be wisely regulated and the re-
serves fully protected yet at the same
time every reasonable privilege grant
ed sheepmen and stockmen.
