PUBLICITY FOR
A. c. BULLETINS

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 14.-One of
the bills that will reach the senate this
week from the house will be H. B..
1877, introduced by Mr.. Mcclellan of
Billings county. After a rather hard
fight on the floor of the lower cham
Der it passed and is now up to the
upper house for such amendment as
may be necessary for it's final passage
and approval.
The Mcclellan bill provides for the
giving of information to resident tax
payers of the state in respect to the
various publications which are pub
lished for free distribution by the A. G.
1t further prescribes the duties of the
agricultural college and of the county
auditors in relation to this distribution
Mr.. Mcclellan greatly feared that the
measure would not pass the house
committee on ways and means without
such amendments which would mar il
i'm regard to the original purpose for
which he intended it to cover. He went
himself before the committee and was
successful in bringing it out in it's orig
inal form. Personally he led the
squabble on the floor of the house
which resulted in it's passage.
1t is now up to the senate to act on
it and it is understood that the nu-
merous friends of the measure will
lobby for it's passage there, SO that IL
may reach the governor without
amendment.
The bill stipulates that the agricul-
tural college shall furnish each county
auditor in this state, on or before the
first day of September of each year

publication issued by it for free dis

debtedness Of the state of North Da-
kota is to be increased to $4,000, 900,
from the presenas amount of $4,000
which is hardly adequate to the, pro-
portions of the states size and ex-
pected growth. To meet all the needs
of the various institutions and other
necessities, action along this line will
have to be taken either by the legis-
lature or by constitutional conven-
ton which has already been proposed
by the judiciary committee of the SEN
ate.
Already there are big demands in
this year for numerous appropriations.
1t is said the state university desires
an appropriation of $1,00GO00, the
bonded indebtedness be raised to the
amount mentioned above. Many mem
bers of the committee are in hearty
opposition to such an appropriation.
The demands of the A. c. and Valley
City normal are far more modest.
The tendency of the present legisla-
ture is to keep down expenses in &C.
cordance with the spirit of economy
expressed in all sections of the state.
When an appropriation of S1,000,000
comes up for the state university there
will be found a strong fight against
such a proposition, when the requests
Of the agricultural college amount to
less than half that sum should the

the domestic market of 100000 peo-
pie. 1t can not result save in their
enhanced prosperity"
Now this argument looks sound from
their standpoint but how does 1t look
to us on this side? II this is the
correct view from the Canadian stand
point where are we at?

republican and in favor of protection,
not only of the products of the farm
but also for the American manufac-
turer believing that the home market
is the best market for our produce and
that too, when the farmer was getting
the worst Of 1t as our surplus was So
great in some of our products that
our protection did not materially ben
eft us on some articles, while 1t did
in some others, but now when we are
just about to reap the fullest benefits
from protection on account Of our con-
summation reaching the production Is
it to be taken away from us, and
again the farmer gets the worst of 1t,
so how can we be republicans any
longer. True the democrats, as a party
have not in the past been noted for
favoring protection as a policy but
think the farmer will be better off
with absolute free trade than with
the prospective treaty.
AT the present rate of increase in
our population and the consequent in
crease of our home consumption in
the very near future 1t will require
increased acreage, more and better
farmers to supply our own people with
all kinds of food stuffs and then our
farmers will obtain prices sufficient to
more fully compensate them for their
hard labor than they have in the past,
until within the last two or three
years and in these years the consump-
tion so nearly equalling the produc
ton, with other countries practically
shut out of our market, that our farm
ers have been doing fairly well. When
we are just beginning to prosper why
open our markets to Canada and let
them share what should belong to us
exclusively.
The grain dealers in Minneapolis
forsee a large increase in their bust
ness when the Canadian grain will be
admitted free under the. treaty, so
much so that since this treaty was
formulated only short time ago, the
price of seat in the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce has advanced
from a price of $1,000 to an offer of
$4,000 without a single sale having
been made which indicates that the
price will go still higher, and this on
ly on prospect, so that If the treaty
should be ratified the price will soar
even higher, but how does this help

drug PERMIT
BILL FUNERAL

Bismarck, N. d., Feb. 14.-S. B. 103,
which is the famous druggists permit
bill, came up today for final passage.
Last night the advocates of the bill
introduced by the senate temperance
committee admitted that the oppon-
ents of the measure had the best of the
situation.
Those who have been fighting for
the temperance committee bill claim
they have fought hard for it's pas
sage, but that the other side was a
little too strong for them. They real
ize to an extent wherein they were
beaten though in their acknowledge
ment of the defeat which they have
met they feel satisfied they fought I'M
til the last to the bitter end and that
1T took a great deal for the opposi-
ton to accomplish it's purpose.
No sooner will the permitrBill have
been defeated in the senate than an
other measure will be introduced in
the house which will concern the same
subject. Mr.. Defiance of Mountrail
county will introduce new druggists
permit bill which will slightly amend
the present law so as to make its
provisions compulsory instead of OPP
tional.
1t is said that the Defiance bill is
not for the purpose of passage, but
for Interior motives which will kill
| certain measures in connection with the
present law. In regard to this feature
of the bill, none of the advocates OF
S. B. 10S have been willing to divulge
the reasons claimed for the introduce
ton of the bill.

APPROPRIATED
Fight is ON

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 14.--What was
heralded as an important meeting ot
the joint committee of the senate and
house on appropriations last night, re-
suited in accomplishing nothing. II
was afterwards said that no agreement
could be reached by any of the MEM
bers, so no step was taken in any
direction.
The matter Of the increasing of the
bonded indebtedness of the state is
one of the important features to be
taken up by the committee, and for
the provision of which a sub-com'
mittee was appointed to draft con
current resolution to amend the state
constitution. Nothing was done along
that line at the meeting

TINKERING With
PRIMARY LAW

Bismarck N. D., Feb. 14.-Now the
question arises as to what will be
done with the primary election propo-
sition which is thought will come up
this week. Numerous reports have
been heard on all sides and from both
camps, though il would be hard to
tell what will be the outcome of the
deliberations Of the two committees
on elections and election privileges.
II was thought at the end of last
week that a programme had been per-
fected which would be carried out
without a hitch, But bright and early
Monday morning there was said to
have been little caucus on the quiet
which resulted in a general upsetting
of all the plans which had been laid.
so that there will be a delay in the
report which was thought would come
to the senate today.
None of the committeeman of that
respective committee would dvulge
just what proposition ha' been framed,
though it was understood that it was
an insurgent invention and was salts
factory to the stalwart members of
the committee.
me present PRIMARY eLSCIiOl law
has been found a failure in the general
opinion of the public and the eandi-
dates. Universally throughout the
state it is conceded to be expensive
and impracticable. To amend it has
been the endeavor of the insurgents
and stalwarts of this assembly, and so
far they have worked in perfect har-
mony toward such amelioration. Some
advocate the adoption in toto of the
presen Oregon law, while others desire
to install a more lucid plan which will
be original with North Dakota and
which is felt will be superior in all It's
provisions.
Another caucus win probably be held
on this matter within the next twenty
four hours.

our farmers?

our farmers?
]. J. Hill, in urging in favor of the
treaty compares the difference in
wheat prices between some OF the
states to show that protection does
not affect the values. Well, we all
know that some states do not raise
10 per cent of what they consume.
He might just as well compare the
price of anthracite coal in Pennsyl-
vania with that In North Dakota, the
former is a producer, and the latter
a consumer, but If you compare prices
on farm products between these same
states the conditions would be re-
versed. Let every farmer in this state
write to our congressman and senat-
ors protesting against this treaty, at
least let them know our desires along
these lines, at the same time encour-
age them for what they have done
and are still doing to assist us.

How Regulation
Affects Business.

Some papers, and we have them in
Florida as well as in Ohio, claim that
to make the big corporations-the rail-
roads and the gas and electric COM
panies-conduct their business upon a
honest basis is prosecuting them.
When the public demands that a COM
pany which has been given a fran
chise be made to sell its product for a
reasonable profit and furnish efficient
service. there are those who cry out
that business is being oppressed, when
as a matter of fact it is only the
public pleading for a square deal
Facts prove that fair regulation
does not hurt business-the honest
kind. Wisconsin has been one of the
states where the strictest regulation
has prevailed, and of Wisconsin La
Toilette. in a recent speach, said:
We do know that the dire and awful
predictions which alarmed honest bus
mess in Wisconsin have proven false;
that capital has not fled from the
state but is more secure than else
where; that state banks, subject TO
state regulation, are safe, and failure
is unknown; that the street car, the
interurban, the gas, electric light and
water rates are undergoing regula-
ton and reduction and yet, because
we have stability the bonds of all our
public utilities are selling higher in
the markets than those of other states;
that railroad rates have been reduced;
the services regulated, the complaints
of shippers adjusted, and yet the rail-
roads of Wisconsin are more prosper
GUS than in other states and every
Ifsaa f-Nn TTfS
that mis- competitors within the scope
of state regulation enjoy no secret
favor or advantage The old feeling
of class antagonism and distrust is
fast giving place to peace, confidence
and prosperity.
La Toilette is d good Democrat. He
is an example of where a Democrat is
just as good by the name of an in
surgent Republican. He has preached
Democratic doctrines and has voted
for them when he had an opportunity.
He cannot be referred to as a theorist
because he has the proof to show that
what he has asked for may be ac-
complished and the people given bet
ter service without bankrupting the
public service corporations.
OF those Floridians who have been
led to believe that the progressive ell
s-nent would hurt the big business of
the state, we respectfully ask that
they read Senator La Fallette's state
ment and be enlightened thereby. The
railroads and other big corporations
upon which the public is dependent
have rights just the same as the most
lowly citizen has, but the people have
some rights too.
To insure the people a square deal
only men who favor a strict regulation
should be elected to any Office in the
city, county, or state government. An
official who will give the people a
square deal will give the corporations
one-this has been proven in every
instance.

In addition to the $685. worth Of
disinfectants now in the depot, the
county accepted shipment of $500
worth. which was shipped on Feb.

refused to pay, citing the company
to the law which requires the county
commissioners to advertise for bids
when expanding any amount exceeding
$500 and which forbids the clerk from
issuing warrants for the payment Of
any such contracts. The total amount
of the bill is therefore $3.50, not in

AS stated, the contract for the dis
