Would Have More Jurisdiction.

If Insurance Commissioner Taylor
has his way about it, there will be
enacted during the next legislative
assembly, a law giving the insurance
department supervision over insur-
ance promotions in this state. There
is an insistent demand throughout
the country for legislation which will
serve to protect the public against
the wiles Of the professional promot-
err and swindler, who exchange beau
tifully printed, but worthless, stock
certificates for perfectly good money.
In his annual report to the governor,
Commissioner Taylor says:
Under the present laws of North
Dakota this department has supervi-
sion over corporations writing insur-
ance. II can exercise no control
whatever owe insurance promotions.
Until within the last few years the
need Of authority in that election has
nrot been felt but the rapid develop
ment of the state has lately attracted
the attention of professional promo,-
ers, and it will be we'll to hedge about
the activities of these gentlemen by
statutory requirements and inhlGi-
lions. Kansas has gained much IA
vorable prominence by the enactment
Of what is known as the Blue Sky"
law. This is a statute which requires
all corporations not chartered in the
state to secure a license before they
can sell stock to citizens of the state.
Licenses are granted only after an
examination by the official authorized
to issue them. 1t is claimed that mil
lions of dollars have been saved in
Kansas alone since March 18th, last,
when the law became operative. But
if it is important to determine the re-
liability of a "going" concern, is it
not Usually important to inquire into
the methods and details of a new
promotion ! am convinced that this
department can be qualified to per-
form a most valuable service for the
people of this state by giving it au-
rhority to supervise insurance promo
tons"

GOOD ROADS AND COLLECTIONS.

Just at the present time there is
being brought to the minds OF a good
many farmers in North Dakota the
need of good roads. Collectors are
pressing those who owe them and de-
malding that they take their grain to
market and get the cash. In many
places there exist conditions which
make 1t absolutely impossible to mar.
ket grain in any quantities. 1t takes
four and six horses TO haul a small
load. 1t must be apparent that with
good roads the same load could be
hauled with one team in a shorter
time and the extra horses be used in
work about the farm. To one farmer
this might mean a saving in actual
work performed of from $40 10 $50 a
day for probably a week. A tax OF
$50 a quarter section over the state
with a prOportionate tax on city prop
erty would provide the entire state
with the best of roads, roads that
are suitable for heavy traffic the year
round. Figuring on that basis. it
would mean an actual cash saving of
a good many dollars every year and
would not come hard on any individ.
ual There will probably be some
good roads legislation at the coming
assembly and if worked out along the
right lines should have the support
of every resident of the state. There
will be good roads experts here to
show how the work should be done
and to suggest ways and means OF
raising the money that have been
used in other states without being
much Of a burden to the individual
tax payers. Good roads is one of the
things that will benefit all classes, as
the cheap and quick marketing OF
crops is one of the greatest factors
in successful farming. g.

las A GOOD RECORD.

So much will be expected IRON the
incoming administration that no doubt
Pr%esident.elect Wilson will he very
careful in the selection of the mem
bers of his cabinet. There have been
many representations made relative
to the filling of these positions. The
platform on which Mr.. Wilson was
elected calls for many radical
changes in governmental policy. To
carry out these new policies without
interfering to any great extent with
business will require more than usual
tact and ability. Among those mel
toned for the portfolio Of Agricul-
ture appears the name of Dr.. Willis
l.. Moore, for the past eighteen years
chief of the U. S. Weather bureau,
and during that time acting secretary
Of agriculture during the absence Of
the secretary and assistant secretary.
That DR.. Moore has made good in his
particular field there is no question.
He Is by far more familiar with the
requirements of the position of sec
rotary Of agriculture than any of the
others so far mentioned. He was APP
pointed to his present position by
Grover Cleveland, and has held it
through all of the succeeding admin
istrations. That he has great eXecu-
tive ability is evidenced by the Won
derful bureau that has developed I'M
der his guidance, the greatest of its
kind in the world. In addition to his
scientific knowledge, he Is we'll vers-
ed both in scientific and practical ag-
riculture, having for several years
owned and operated personally a
large stock farm in Montgomery
county, Maryland. He has endorse
ments from neary all of the leading
agricultural, horticultural and other
scientific organizations, and the bust
ness and labor organizations through
out the country are advocating his
appointment. From the viewpoint OF
qualification Mr.. Wilson can find no
more desirable man for the position
than DR.. Moore.

STATUS OF Ex.PRESlDENTs

Mr.. Bryan's. suggestion that eX-
presidents, ex.vice presidents and eX-
speakers of the house be permitted to
take part In congressional debates,
without the right to vote or serve on
committees, will not be taken very
seriously. There is little probability
that the privilege, II extended, would
often be exercised. Most OF the for
nler presidents and former vice pres
idents have withdrawn completely to
lrivate life when their final terms Of
office expired, aud Without The inCen-
tive OF official connection with the az
fairs Of government it is hardly prob
able the "exes" would care for purely
honorary participation in the work Of
congress.
AS a solution for the question
which. many people have made I'M
necessarily perplexing-'what shall
be done with our ex.presidents %
the Bryan suggestion is not conclus-
i've. John Quincy Adams and Andrew
Johnson are the only ex.presidents
who ever sat in congress after their
retirement from the presidency, the
former as representative and the lat
ter as senator. Tyler was a member
Of the Confederate congress, but that
is not politically %canonical so far as
the statistics are concerned. Monroe
thought 1t no discredit to become a
justice of the peace after he had been
president of the United States-which
Of course it wss not.
Some we'll meaning people are
wasting valuable time trying to de-
wise q suitable way to dispose of our
ex-presidents. But under our sys-
TEN and theory Of government the
most digniied provision that can be
made is to consider them as exactly
what they are-once more private
citizens, after having enjoyed the
highest honors in the bestowal Of the
people. The very investment Of a
citizen with such honors discharges
all Obligations which may be con
