Counties May Be
Without IreaSurers
The Time Was Changed for Treas
urer to Take Over His Office
From Jan. to May

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 9.-Several
counties of North Dakota may be with
out county treasurers from Jan. l
to May as result of the en-
actment by the 1911 legislature of a
measure which changes the time for
taking over the duties of the Office
from Jan. l. to May l. The state con-
stitution limits the terms of all treas
urers to four years, an incumbent being
disqualified from serving more than
that period. When Jan. l arrives
several county treasurers will come
under the ban of this constitutional
provision, which may necessitate an
appointment by the board of county
commissioners to fill the vacancy from
Jan. to May l.

Comments on Public Life

President Hill of the Great Northern
railway has the following to say about
this state: ''There's too much politics
in North Dakota. Land ought to bring
SIS per acre now, but if you keep on
getting politics any thicker you will
see it worth but $12" We agree with
Hill.
The editor of the Underwood Journal
is getting more advertising than has
ever been given that paper before. Mr..
Carlen is putting out good paper and
the people show their appreciation.
Editor E. E. Cowell is again in Dog
den and has charge of the News. He
announces that the paper will be a
Moose one and that is step higher
than being republican-he claims.
The proposition made by Andrew
Carnegie to pension ex-presidents
$25, 600 annually is not meeting with
the favor Andrew anticipated. The
Commoner says it's an insult to express
idents and to the American people, and
that Carnegie ought to be made to
withdraw it. Let him pension the ed
itors. They do not get any too much
money, tainted or otherwise, but might
be able to spend some when they got it.
A merchant in Braddock is real brave.
He advertises in the local paper that
he has Jim Jam Jems on sale.
According to the prophesey of the
Indians, the real cold weather will not
arrive until after the first of the year.
The Indians are close observers of
animals and trees and make good
weather profits.
The editor of the Democrat does not
seem to be in favor of having the
gamblers closed out in Minot as there
will be so many vacant residences.
Rev. Olson does not have the co-opera-
ton Of the editor in his movement to
clean out certain parts of the town.
Major G. II. Hoffman. who was the
successful agent on the Fl. Berthold
reservation for q number of years, is
now in charge Of q school on the Fl.
Peck Indian reservation In Montana.
