GOT A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Judge kneeshaw Granted a Writ af Mandamus
in the Thirty Per Cent Case.

On Monday an alternative writ of
mandamus was issued by Judge Knee
shaw in the case of The State of North
Dakota, ex. rel, H. e. Dorval, plaintiff,
VS.. }. X. Hamilton, as auditor of Cava-
lier county, North Dakota, defendant.
The writ is made returnable before Judge
kneeshaw in chambers at Pembina on
Monday August 22nd, at eight o'clock
p. m. This Is the first step being taken
in the action brought before the court by
the democrats of the state to test the
constitutiunality of the thirty per cent
clause of the primary election law, and
in which half the counties over the state
are involved regarding a place for their
candidates in the party column on the
election ballot this fall. At the time
the writ is made returnable the general
expectation is that a demur will be in
terposed by the defense and will probably
be sustained by the court. This would
result in an appeal being taken which
will take the case into the state supreme
court. where it will no doubt be speedily
come up for a hearing.

that it is not costly. 1t need not mean

Prizes in return for suggestions for
civic beauty-that is the idea that is
being carried on in various towns in
the United States. The most unique
prize so far heard Of is one that will
be offered by the city Of Washington
as a result of a real live suggestion
made by an officer of the Municipal
Art Society of New York.
Following is part of the officials
suggestion which touches on the posi-
bilities Of identifying Washington's
streets: mo one can see the magnif-
cent street referring to Pennsylvania
avenue, without being impressed by
its architectural possibilities and sim
ilarly disappointed with the architec-
tural hodgepodge with which the beau
tiful street is lined.

is possible the best results might be
obtained by the passage Of an act
which. while making no compulsory
regulations for the construction of

prizes to be given by the municipality
for buildings which conformed to GER
tain standards. those standards to deal
not only with the character of the de-
sign and possibly with the material
with which the facade of the building
is constructed. but also with the two
main h~eightS-that is. the main cor

height over the frs, story or base
ment: finally that these prizes he given
in a remission OF taxes on a sliding
scale. according to the nearness with
which the buildings conform to the
standard set up by the act"
Another method of town identifying
that is worthy of u prize is by build
ing Il parkway in the middle of the
principal streets. 1t is ornamental
and serves to conceal trolley tracks
and wires. The trees in the parkway
should he high enough to hide the troll
icy poles and ears and to furnish shade

RID THE TOWN OF BILLBoARDs

Obnoxious Poster Should Be Elimi-
mated From Rural Communities.
Did You ever go into u town or city
and see every dead wall or vacant
space taken up with signboards plas-
tered with colored obnoxious posters
advertising the wares OF mail order
houses: That's the sight that usually
confronts the visitor to the average
city or town throughout the United
States.
Now. the billboard habit is one that
should be fought severely by all towns
which look forward to becoming great
communities. Just so long as a town
allows these obnoxious posters to de-
face it's streets. just so long that town
is going to remain unprogressive.
The war on %billboards in the past
few years has become nation wide.
Cincinnati. St Louis and Kansas City
are among the cities that are waging
a strong fight to eliminate this means
Of DETACHMENT. In st. Louis so per
cent of the space occupied by often
sive and unsightly billboards will be
cleared by the building commissioner
as a result Of a decision recently hand
ed down by the supreme court, which
upholds the validity of the billboard
ordinance Of st. Louis.
One supreme court judge stated that
st. Louis has a right to regulate and
control billboards and kindred methods
of advertising. but hat that may be
controlled by legislative enactment.
The judge also said that the average
billboard is a constant menace to pub
lie safety, health and morals by it's
pictures and constitutes a hiding place
and retreat for criminals.
