SOME BONDS TO Be CONSIDERED


The state land department has re-
ceived a bond offer from Paramount
school district in Richland county for
$4,000. and other offers are expected
from the following districts: Inter-
national district No. 5, Burke coun-
ty, for $4,000; Lisbon special dist
riot about $25 900; Sarles, Cavalier
county, about $4,000. and about for
ty other common school districts have
been supplied with blanks for bond
ing purposes. The department has no
information from which it can be de-
termined the amount of bonds these
districts propose to issue. The. law
provides that all bonds are to be pre-
pared and printed under the super
vision of the land commissioner, and
with the work in connection with the
issuing Of patents. drawing up farm
mortgages and notes, and preparing
bonds for the school districts it seems
that there is not likely to be any time
to spare for the force in the land
department for some time to come.
The collections made by the various
county treasurers are reported at the
end of each month and 1t is no small
task to check these amounts and ap-
portion them to the proper funds, es-
peclally at the present time as the
collections reported for the month OF
December were over tire quarters of
million of dollars, including inter-
est and principal and money received
on land contracts

WEDNESDAY,, JANUARY 81, 1912.
THE SILVER SERVICE FUND

Comment has been expressed in
eastern publications and elsewhere,
relative to the silver service for the
ba1tleship North Dakota Shortly
after the man of war, bearing the
name of our state was launched, a
movement was started to raise over
$12,0OO,00O TO purchase a suitable
silver service for the ship. This mon
ey was to be raised by popular sub
scription in each county of the state,
and each county was apparently as
sessed in fair proportion, but as yet
only about talf Of the amount has
been realized. As a consequence our
battleship is still without the silver
service, which has been left with the
manufacturers until such a time as
it can be paid for, and North Dakota
is drawing adverse comment because
of the negligence Of its generally
otherwise public spirited citizens.
Florida state supposedly filled
with swamps. alligators and Colored
people. points with pride to the fact
that instead Of being among the slow.
est in the progressive march of enter
prise, its people have ordered pur-
chased, paid for and presented their
token to ship built at a much later
date than vas tie North Dakota"
The state of North Dakota has had
a committee at work for over two
years attempting to raise sufficient
sum for a silver service for the ship
which the Navy permitted this state
to name. but the committee claims
to be helpless just so long as the
people are carelessly negligent in
contributing the money. A surpris-
ing fact is that some of the richest
counties in the state have been the
mos careless in this matter and are
still considerably in arrears with the
amounts assessed to them to pay,
while some Of tie smaller counties
have not only paid their share, but
have exceeded the assessment. The
committee is now enjoyed in a final
appeal to the people of the counties
in the state that have failed az yet
to make good their allotment of funds
for this patriotic purpose.

North Dakotans are interested in the
meeting of the railway commission
e-s of nine states a, Chicago, where
they are considering the proposed
schedule of increased freight rates

A partial victory was assured to the
commissioners and rate experts when
they secured a reduction of the rate
on binder twine. and also a ruling to
the effect that shippers will be allow
ed to ship binder twine in cars with
agricultural implements. Other re-
auctions in the rates are expected. {

DISCIPLINE IN THE GUARD

The members of the North Dakota
National Guard are vitality interested
in the effect of the decision of the
supreme court of the state in the
socalled Poole case" on the enforce
ment OF discipline in their ranks.
Many of the officers of the state regi-
ment are firm in the belief that the
descision means that there is abso.
lutely no way in which to secure dis
cipline in the state militia in times
of peace.
The federal constitution, as we'll as
the constitution of North Dakota pro-
'vides that in time of war or public
danger when the national guard is in
actual service. the soldiers will be
governed by the Articles of War.
There is no provision made under the
old code calling for any infection of
punishment for infraction Of discip-
linary measures in time Of peace.
The new code makes provision for
this.
The new military code, which was
drawn up by a committe composed Of
attorneys who were members of the
state guard, and was adopted section
by section by the North Dakota
National Guard Association at it's con-
ven.loh at 1lxndan in 1900 and passed
By tho legislative in 1911, does make
to this effect, however. It

There has been large amount of

the State Dairymen's association
which is to be held in Mandan. Feb

one more thing to offer. This is that
there will be the liberal use of Ian
