Commissions have been issued to
these officers to date from January

Col. Fl:aine will not assign the
new major to a battalion until he
has taken up the matter of location
OF the various companies of each
battalion. At the present time some
of the majors live at a considerable
distance from their battalions, while
there is a battalion stationed near
their homo station. 1t is the plan
of the colonel to probably make a
change in some of the battalion CON-
randers in order that the majors
may be in command of the battalions
which are nearest their home sta
ton. This will be done wholly as
a matter of convenience.

PROF. Larson TALKS ON
RURAL SCHOOL Of STATE
WISCONSIN GIVES MEMBERS POINTERS
WISCONSIN HAS DONE WITH HER RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM
OFFERS NUMBER GOOD SUGGESTIONS - EMPHASIZED N.
PoRTANcE PROPER TArIoN BELIEVES
SCHOOL VERY IMPORTANT ART

Prof. w. E. Larson of Wisconsin
delivered an address before a joint
assembly of the state legislature yes
terday afternoon, speaking on the
rural schools. Mr.. Larson came to
this city from Fargo, having appeared
there as one of the speakers on the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention
program. He is connected with the
department of public instruction in
the state of Wisconsin and is par
ticularly active in the work of pro-
noting the rural schools.
In his address here Mr.. Larson
pointed out the importance of taking
good care of the rural school, and
he ventured the assertion that no
legislative action by the assembly
would have any more far reaching
effect than would that legislation
bearing upon the rural school.
The speaker pointed out conditions
existing in Wisconsin where a great
deal of work is being done in the
matter. That state has passed a
number of important laws, among
them being one that places the ques-
ton of compulsory attendance in the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-01-21

hands of the bureau of labor. This
law, which makes the factory inspect
ors of the state the truant officers,
has worked out very satisfactorily in
that it has resulted in bringing
much better attendance over the en-
tire state, with the number Of child
rem of school age absent from school
at minimum stage.
Mr.. Larson dealt with the condi-
ton of outhouses on school grounds
as being one that demanded espe-
cial attention at the hands of the
school officers. The obtaining of
large grounds that the children may
have great plenty of room in which
to play. was another point that he
urged.
The speaker declared himself to be
in favor of the consolidated school
plan, declaring that some good re-
suits had been achieved through it.
He urged that great care be used
in establishing such schools, how
ever.
A great many other points were
brought out by the speaker who was
rendered a vote Of thanks at the con-
cluSiOn.

go on an extended eastern trip and
visit relatives in New York after
which he will return to BisnIarck
and engage in business for himself.
He has been actively identified with
the laundry business in the city since
1893, anu has been associated with
A. F. Marquett since 1896 when the
Troy and Bismarck laundries consol-
idated under the name of the Bis
marck Steam laundry, with Marquett
and Couch as propretors.
He is a very capable business man
and will doubtless make a success
of any venture he may undertake.

Matt Smith, who was recently dis
charged from the state penitentiary
after serving a year for forgery, for
which crime he had been sent up
from Stark county, is in the city Jail,
and will have to face another trial
for the same offense. Smith was
picked up Thursday evening by Pa
trolman Martineson on a charge of
being drunk and disorderly. 1t was
known by the officers that he had
been out of funds but when he was
searched at the police station he was
found to have $685. on his person.
1t developed in a short time that he
had passed a check on the Lenhart
Drug company for SIS. The check
was made payable to himself and
was supposed to have been signed
by P. j. Jacobson of the penitentiary
office force Jacobson declared that
it was a forgery. 1t was afterward
learned by the police that he had
cashed check few days ago which
was forgery but that woman
friend of the accused rad learned of
his scrape and had made the amount
coed. A man in the city claims to
have seen in Smiths possession
few nights ago check for $40 made
payable to Smith and signed by n.
A. Freeburg. contractor of this
city. 1t was not on his person when
he was searched and the police are
attempting to learn whether or not
he has passed that on some of the
local merchants. He will have a
preliminary hearing within the next
few days.

SYNOPSIS OF
ALLEN LAW
The Commission Plan Act
Condensed For Use Of
Busy Readers
IT SHOULD BE STUDIED
Aside From Improved Manag-
ment Changes From Pres
ent Law Are Slight

On November 90, the voters Of Alb
erdeen will decide whether they will
continue the present form of gov
eminent or adopt the Commission
form under the Allen law. This law
enacted at the last session OF the
legislature, has been given very linn
tied publicity and it's provisions are
not so generally known as they
should be for an intelligent decision
upon it's adoption at the polls. To
publish the act in full would prove
too long for the patience or under
standing of the average reader, and
it is the object of this article to give
synopsis of the law in plain Ian
guage and as briefly as may be con-
sistent, with giving the substance of
the act for the use of the busy man,
who may have neither time nor in
clination to wade through the legal
verbiage of the statute.
Who May Adopt
Any city with $500 and not more
than 10000 may organize under the
provisions of this law, when a pc
tition is signed by 25 per cent of
the vote cast at the last election, re-
questing a special election for the
purpose of deciding if the people so

Any of the commissioners may be

A petition signed by voters qualified
to vote for his successor equal to
35 per cent of the entire vote cast

demanding an election of a success
sor of the person sought to be re-
moved, shall be filed with the clerk

al statement of the grounds for

the affidavit of one of the signers
of that paper, that the signatures are
genuine, and each signer must give
his Tor herr street address.
The clerk is given ten days in
which to verify the petition. If
found insufficient it may be amend
ed within ten days, and when suffi-
cient, the commission shall call an
election not less than 80 nor more
than sixty days after receiving the
certificate of the sufficency of the
petition. Should the clerk wrong
fully declare the petition insufficient,
any taxpayer may secure an order
of the superior court directing the
commission to call the election.
A primary election is then called,
to nominate one candidate to be vot-
ed for at the regular election, in op-
position to the incumbent sought to
be removed, and the person receiv.
ing the highest number of votes is
elected
