THE COST OF A COURT HOUSE
THE NEWS has pointed out that the
proposed new county will be obliged to
pay its share Of the cost of new court
house at Greeley. should the court house
be built, or bonds be voted for its erect
ion before the division is made, altho in
case of division the new county would
get absolutely no benefit from the fund
so expended. According to the follow
ing editorial taken from a recent issue
Of the Windsor Poudre Valley, Weld
county taxpayers must already be con-
tributing for new court house by pay
ing sinking fund tax:
THAT tax to create a sinking fund
for the purpose of building new court
house should be cut off at the first OPP
portunity. While it probably does not
amount to enough to be felt by individ-
ual taxpayers, the theory of levying .
tax not provided for by law nor sane
toned by vote of the people il dis
tasteful in the extreme. 1t is taxation
without Representations which is suffi-
cient in itself to condemn it. But there
is the further objection that it creates
big fund for some future board to
juggle and graft from if 90 inclined. 1t
is we'll known that recent ex-commis-
sioners had their lustfui eyes upon that
fund and that they went so far as to let
the contract for drawing the plans and
specifications in connection with those
of the new county Jail. 1t was rumored
that Shelley also had designs opon this
fund, and one man stated that he was
willing to make affidavit before the
grand jury to the effect that $500 was
paid to the head craftsman Of the Dem
yer architects Office to swing the con-
tract for the Jail in certain direction;
that the deal could not be pulled of a.
desired and that the craftsman kept the
money. Whether this affidavit was
ever filed with the grand jury we do not
know. But it affords all the more rea-
son for not creating secret sinking funds
that open an avenue for graft-a meth
Cd that certainly increases the tempta-
ton. If new court house is needed,
let bond issue be voted by the people
and they will at least know how much
money is to be expended. BY this un-
warranted method twice the amount re-
quired might be collected without nine
out of ten Taxpayers being any the
wiser, and at the same time bad prec-
edene would be we'll established to war
rant future boards in creating secret
sinking funds for sundry purposes,
without any more reasonable excuse
than that the board in its wisdom saw
fit to build tower to heaven or con-
struct IN immunity bath house to enable
commissioners to escape the bars Of the
penitentiary. If one set of commission
ers can create asinking fund with which
to build Jail for the Incarceration OF
petty thieves when they ought to be ita
occupants. what is to hinder future
boards from doing equally ludicroua
things? This sinking fund levy may be
legal, or it may not. No matter 1t it is

NOT BROKEN RAILS,

1t seems to have been a rather pc
culiar coincidence that the death of
President Hanrahan and other officials
Of the Illinois Central road last Janu-
airy should have been due to gross
carelessness of railway employees.
Usually when railway accidents of
this nature occur they are attributed
to broken rails. This time no such
excuse could be given.
The investigation of this accident
was exceptionally thorough and the
results officially announced are:
The accident was caused by the
failure Of Flagman Broecker to prop
erly protect his train. Conductor
Brainard is equally responsible for not
knowing that his train was improperly
protected. A contributing cause was
the failure of Engineman Stuart to
control the speed of his train so as mot
to exceed ten miles an hour while
passing through Kinmundy, and 70
comply with the bulletin order reuuir-
ing the taking of water al that place,
An additional contributing cause was
the failure of Operator Schneideriohn
located at E~nglewood. to hold train No
until ten minutes after the passing
of train No. rs.
Really the blame goes back ito the
head officials of the company who toll
Grated the laxity Of discipline dis
closed by this investigation. It is a
difficult task to enforce ~ironbound
Z @ulations upon a large number OF
employes-but in the operation Of rail-
ways it is imperative. The result OF
the investigation-and the further fact
that railroad officials, themselves, were
the victi-3s-should be an incentive to
further precautions for the safety of
the l-aveling public.

NO

It is unlikely that Fargo will be in
a baseball league this summer. Eff
forts were being made to secure mem
bership in IN organization-but it ap-
pears there is some difficulty about
securing national protection and RI
one wants to tackle an outlaw league.
The chief difficuIty appears to be
over the loca. grounds. The present
site is owned by j. w. Smith and it is
understood he decided before starting
ON his trip hat he would have. the BAH
park cut into lots and sold this sum
mer.
1t seems that the street railway peo-
pie are more directly interested than
any n else and that they should
make an effort to secure grounds or
cooperate with the baseball manage
ment in some so there could be
league ball.
Fargo will have to struggle along
again with an independent team-un-
less some dshnite action is taken very
promptly.

THURSDAY, APRIL II. 1912.
THE lNsuReERs.


Some Of the insurgents do not ap-
pear to be rejoicing over the supreme
court decision uphoIding the new law
requiring the assessors to take the
political affiliations OF the voters. II
seems they were not particularly
anxious to prevent the. democrats
from participating in republican af-
fairs. TIL rather liked that plan at
the recent presidential preference pri-
maries-when the democrats rendered
such valiant assistance in caring
the state for LaF'ollette.
In the future they will not have the
democrats corporation but will be
forced r make sc fight themselves.
With the Gemocrsts barred from but
ting into the republican side of the
statewide. primaries in June, - in
Surgents are less optimistic over their
ability nominate Buchanan for gov
ernor.
With 10000 or 30, democrats exclud-
ed, the situation will be entirely differ
vent from the March primaries. Not
even the widest enthusiast for Blu
rhanan can hope that he will be able
TO inspire the following that LaEol-
,lette did. Buchanan will also have the
additional handicap of having been a
loser in the primaries two years ago.
There is nothing that can be IL
against the personal character Of Mr..
Buchanan. lie is a clever and pleas
mt christian gentleman, who has made
a success as a farmer and is now in
the capitalistic class as a result.
Everything that can be said in favor
of Mr.. Buchanan can also be fairly
spoken OF La B. Hanna-who also
seeks ths republican nomination for
governor And, in addition, it can be
cited that Mr.. Hanna is a man Of pub
lie and political experience through
lis long service in both, branches of
the legislature and congress and
ideally qualified to give North Dakota
an efficient and economical business
administration.
Through his uniform courtesy and
strict attention to business since he
became a member Of congress Mr..
Hanna has a large following in this
state. The people recognize his abil-
Ity and competence-and they will
nominate him for governor at the June
primaries.

was going 70 learn to bake a cake. Dinah had promised to teach

the cake was baked Evelyn would give him a nice big peca.
sDoNy DamPlss mother promised to teach her to make q cake"
said daddy.
dolly was very anxious to learn to cook, and one mornng her mother
told her IL she would go to the store and buy the eggs, sugar, buttar Sour
Raidns and some milk for the cake they would begin right away.
$50 Dolly put on her little hat and coat and started round TO Mr. Simpkns
store. She told MI. Stmpkins she was In a terrible hurry because she was GO
ing to- bake q nice cake all by herself.
"NE simpkins. who always gave Dolly an apple or a ginger snap or some
thing nice to eat when she came to his shop, laughed and said he hoped she
would save a piece of that cake for him
Remembering how many nice cakes Mr. simpkins had given her, Dolly felt
that Il would not be polite to say no. So Mr., simpktns was promised q piece
Of cake.
"And on the way home she met Aunt Patty and Uncle Ned and old Mr..
Brown with his dog and Miss Nellie who taught the infants class at Sunday
schooL To each OF these she promised q piece Of her cake Really II looked
as If that cake would need to be quite size II every one was to deserved
"Tm in a awful big hurry, cause my mammals going to let me bake q

"And she did hurry along just as fast Is her fat little legs would carry her.

and the cake was made with q great smash right there on the sidewalk
"she didn't wait to pick anything up for there wasn't anything to pick,

being ~peaceably settled after the APP
plicati0ns were made. In no case was
the provision Of law violated which
torbids a stoppage Of work before the
decision of the board is rendered, and
IN only two cases was there a strike
afterwards in spite Of the decision. In
all other cases agreements were made
in accordance with the findings and in
both these cases work was finally re-
sumed on the terms which had been
originally recommended by the boards.
The Canadian law is called the In
dustrial disputes investigation act and
the boards of Cancellation and investi-
cation do not arbitrate. They get at
the facts fully, they hear the parties
concerned and nsider their claims
and arguments, and they make recon-
mendations, which may be accepted or
not. There is no effective way In such
disputes of eRforcing the award Of ar
b%itrators and the attempt would not
be likely to result in cheerful acqui-
escence or industrial peace. Recon-
mendations after a perfectly fair and

boards are reached, especially in any
case where one party to a dispute

universal testimony seems to be that
1T has worked successfully, not only
for two years of which we have the
record, but for the four years since
tie law took effect, in spite of what
seems to be an infection of Industrial
Unrest elsewhere.
The Canadian government has the
advantage of being able to treat this
exclusively as a national and not at all
as a provincial matter, while in the
United States there is a chance of con-
hiet Of iur' ;diction between nation and
states. How far the federal govern
ment could deal with it as involved in
the regulation of interstate commerce
is a delicate and difficult question. but

states within their undisputed juris-
diction. How far it can be adapted to
settling industrial disputes outside of
the range of public utilities is another
question. There may be boards of in
" litigation and OF Cancellation and
mediation provided for, and in some
states something of the kind has been
done. If both employers and their
workmen were always disposed to be
fair and were willing to submit to an
impartial adjudication of their claims,
the plan would work we'll in most
cases Of disputes.

D CANADA AVOIDS STRIKES.

The Forum has several times called
venting strikes. The plan is so full Of
common sense that it is worthy Of
more mention. The New York Journal
OF Commerce recently said editorially
'ef the Canadian law:
During the strike disturbances in
this country Great Britain and some
continental countries, it has bela
iReticeably quiet in Canada. Whether
ior not this is due to the law for the
maintenance of industrial peace which
Iteok effect there in March, 1907, it
gives special interest to the working
of that statute. The law applies only
ito employment i'm what are called
public utilities" but these include
mining companies as well as all rail-
read and local transit corporations.

llcckouts in these occupations which

Who hasn't got a single flaw

And how he's been most all his life,
Up to some petty crime.

To be my candidate,
There amt 20 breath again his name
That no n kin. relate.
Things seem to 60 all right fer him
For bout a week or two;
Then folks begin to dig up things
They say he used to do.

Of all the men who have been named
He seems to be the worst.

But they're all just the same;
Somebody Points out all their flaws
For that's part of the game.

Before he had begun.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost

Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness Of the nerves and muscles
Of the large intestine. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try RexalI Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly good for
children. They seem to act directly
on the nerves and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have a neu-
trail action on the other organs. They
do not purge or cause other incon-

Iif they do not overcome chronic or
