MAY HAVE new
PROBATE CODE
Has Number OF
Recommendations to Sum-
NIT to the Legislature.

Bismarck, n. D.. Nov. 4.-North Da-
kota is to have a new. probate code,
providing the coming legislature will
see it hat way. and it is quite prob
able the legislators will be willing 10
pass it as recommended ny the coz
commission. as there has been a cry
ing need for such u reform since the
state was created.
George Wallace of the tax commas
sion, left this morning for Wahpeton
where he will visit Il few days with
his family, and after election Will
meet with the probate code commits
sion which meets in Fargo on NO
vemher 6. This commission Is COM
posed of Judge Hanson OF Fargo
Chas. S. Ege, of Lisbon and Mr.. Wall
lace.
Owing to the fact that the present
probate code is in Il very complicated
and unsatisfactory con"ition this COM
mission was appointed by the last leg
islature to make the necessary changes
and has been working on the recon-
struction for some time.
The members have completed their
study and at this meeting Will pro-
coed with the dictation OF the laws.
When they have completed their la
bors, the draft will be submitted to
the legislature for action.
This action is made very necessary
for the reason that the laws passed
rom time to time have become con-
flicting and have left holes in h sys-
TEN and procedure which need SER
ious attention. Fol- instance there are
places where three or four laws cover
the same subject and in such cases
they are generally contradictory.
There Is a great irregularity regarding
the publication of notices and the
service of notices also and 1t Is In
tended by the commission to remedy
this by making both publication and
service uniform by requiring that all
notices be published the same length
OF time and that all notices be served
the same length Of time. 1t is the in
tention to have the new laws cover all
points. and ut the same time simplify
the process as much as possible. I'm
der the present system loans wherein
minor heirs are interested. are reject
ed by loan companis and especially
liz insurance companies who do the
greatest percentage Of loaning in this
state.
The task Of writing an inheritance
tax law was assigned to Mr.. Wallace.
and he mas made n very exhaustive
search and study Of the subject. For
months he studied the decisions of the
federal courts pm federal laws. Of fed
cral courts on state laws n Of the
state courts on state laws. which OF
course covers all. He has studied
similar laws from all states and has
endeavored to incorporate the good

the snags.
There Is no department of the code
which appeals so seriously to the aver
age citizen as the probate law which
after he is gone and the condition of
n present law Is such as to make
that hope very slim. Under the laws
which are to be submitted to the COM
mission 1t is hoped every point will be
covered. and that the settlement Of
estates will be expedited. AS it is at
present, cases often have to be re.
opened and this causes on endless
amount Of expense and trouble. saying
nothing Of hardship caused by the
delay.
The members Of the commission be-
lieve that If the legislature will adopt
their code as submitted. North Dakota
will have one of the best probate codes
in the United States, II not the best.

Not Be MiSlead on the
Courthouse Question

When you come to vote on the courthouse question do
had more or less publicity.
You are to vote on the question of bonding the county
two hundred thousand dollars to be used nthe erection
of a new courthouse. The board of County Commits
sloners is made up of conservative farmers and business
men-men who are worthy of trust.
here is no movement on foot to move the courthouse
from the present site, owned by the county. No consid-
Grafton of this kind has been before the board. The res
oluton which puts this matter up to the voters specifi-
cally binds the board to the erection of the new building
on the present courthouse site.
Grand Forks County needs a new courthouse.
The present building is thirty three years old, and is a
disgrace to this great county.
A modern fireproof structure would be a splendid in
vestment we'll worth while for everybody:
Grand Forks County is progressive along every other
line of activity. Why not in the erection of a new
Courthouse?
The City of Grand Forks has just built a new City Hail.;
and stands ready to help build a new courthouse.
