Juvenile Offenders.

At the session of the Police Jury Of
caddo Parish, held on June II, there
was submitted an ordinance the purpose
of which is to provide suitable quar-
tiers in which to restrain juvenile of
Tenders. who being seventeen years or
under cannot be assigned to the parish
prison or the penitentiary.
The Juvenile offenders being well in
formed of this fact and knowing that
there is no correctional institution in
Caddo Parish, are emboldened in their
misdemeanors, which in several instan-
ees have been burglary and larceny.
There was maintained in Mo1ooe a
reformatory for juveniles, which has
been destroyed by fire.
It is not creditable to the State to
observe that while laws are enacted
with the view of securing some safe
guard in the interest Of the people,
there has been provided no adequate
means to restrain the criminally in
clined juveniles.
If the Juvenile is penalized to prison
or the pen, he becomes, when liberated,
a menace to society from his assccia-
tion with criminals in the prison or in
the pen.
The State should long since have pro-
vided the means necessary to reform
Juvenile offenders, as is instanced by
the United States, from whose institu-
tions at Atlanta and other centers
have been reformed into good, uesful
citizens, thousands Of juveniles for
whom there was entertained little hope
for Improvement.
There is no boy, no matter how
|'bad" he may be, but has much good
in him, and from this good that is in
him he may be transformed into man,
m honorable citizen,
One of the most jealous and enthusi-
astic of the advocates Of the reform of
juveniles through the Hed1um Of proper
institutions is Judge Aleck Boarman,
Of the United States Court. He is I'M
firing in his advocacy Of such reform,
and through him many "bad boys'
have become good, useful citizens
through the reform system provided by
the United States.
In providing the means, with which

Parish Budget.
Report of the finance committee
of Police Jury of Caddo Parish:
Shreveport, La, June IL, 1870
the President and Members of the
Caddo Parish Police Jury, Shreve-
port. Louisiana: Gentlemen-We,
your finance committee, herewith
offer for your approval the budget
for 1913, and with it a desire to offer
q few words of explanation.
Ere investigation. we had hoped
to- lessen the rate of taxation due to
an increase of the assessment. How
ever, we are confronted with the
fact that the constitutional provis-
ion, a three g mill rate for school
purposes and which we can not ig-
more. In addition thereto the five
~ mills voted by the taxpayers for
hard surface roads, precludes any
diminution in the rate of five (5)
mills.
In consequence it will be observed
that we have simply made a rate of
four and one-half (41a) mills to
cover all general purposes or such
that come or are at cur disposition.
In preparing the budget we are
governed by the experiences of the
past, and we regret to say, that the
criminal expense of the parish, en-
bracing the criminal court proceed
ings, jurors and witnesses fees, are
yearly becoming more and more ex-
pensive and we are powerless to
suggest the remedy. Respectfully
submitted.

sents the best and surest opportu
mites for men engaged in farming

any OF the states in the Union. Our
land here is still very cheap and we
produce the food supplies that are
always in demand. Our nearness
to the markets of the world is an
other immense advantage and our
products can be stored or kept on
the farm without loss or decay, and
IL market prices are not satisfactory
our products can be safely held to
await a higher range of prices. This
cannot be done with the fruit crops
for when fruit is ready for market
ing it has to 60 and take whatever
prices are offered. 1t cannot be held
for future sales like wheat, fax,
corn, cattle, horses, and the sub
stantial products of North Dakota"s

GOV, HANNA VETOES
SEVERAL BILLS
GIVES REASONS THEREFOR IN
VETO MESSAGES.

es for number of bills passed by
the last legislature, as follows:
Senate Bill No. 228.
An act to amend and ,re-enact Sec
tions 1887 and 1OO78 of the Revised
Codes of North Dakota for 1905, re-
lating to instructions in criminal
cases, and the repeal Section 998S
thereof, is returned without my ap-
,proval for the following reasons:
The purpose of our present law is
that the state shall be fair with the
defendant and the defendant be
equally fair with the state. Senate
bill No. 2sS provides that every in
struction given in a criminal case
shall be deemed excepted to. 1t re-
peals the provisions of the law en-
powering the trial court to submit
the written charge to the defendant
before instructing the jury, and
takes away the power to exact from
defendant that he SO designates his
objections thereto. In practice it
will give the defendant another
advantage, as every instruction is
deemed excepted to, whether at the
time satisfactory or not to the de-
fendant and abrogates an opportun-
ity now had by the court to avoid
error. This measure appears to be
more of trap for the courts than a
safeguard for the accused. Its re-
suits would be to increase reversals
and necessarily increase the unjust
criticism resulting from reversals,
sometimes seemingly. technical, but
which grow in fact from the neces-
sary enforcemnt of statutes of which
this is an example, and which tend
to magnify matters of mere court
procedure during trials into social
ed substantial rights of defendant.
Senate Bill No. 361.
An act to amend and re-enact, sec-
ton 1850 of the Revised Codes of
1905, as amended in chapter 14S of
the laws of 1911, relating to laying
out, altering and disseminating roads,
is returned without my approval for
the reason that this proposed law
provides that whenever a petition is
received by board having jurisdic-
ton requiring a new road to be laid
out, it shall be the duty of said board
to employ competent surveyor to
survey and lay out said road and
such survey shall include a line of
levels to be run over the laid out
road and grade line to be estab-
lished thereon, and other provisions.
1t would seem that it would be
against public policy to enact this
proposed bill into law, by reason of
the very large expense that would
be entailed upon the people if they
were required to employ surveyors to
lay out every new road, and to have
prepared plans and profiles of the
survey made.
Senate Bill No. 1873.
An act to amend section 1881 of
the Revised Codes of 1905, relating
to the state board of equalization,
how constituted; it's meetings; rules
for equalizing, is returned without
my approval for the following rea-
son:
This bill contemplates taking from
the state board of equalization as
now constituted the commissioner of
agriculture and labor and snbstitnt-
ing for him the chairman of the
state tax commission. 1t was the
original intention that the commits
sioner Of agriculture and labor
should be a member of the state
board of equalization in q special

Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1913-03-20

the state board of equalization as
now constituted the commissioner of
agriculture and labor and snbstitnt-
ing for him the chairman of the
state tax commission. 1t was the
original intention that the commits
sioner Of agriculture and. labor
should be member of the state
board of equalization in special
sense to represent the farming inter-
ests of the state, and believe that
he should remain a member of the
state board Of equalization.
Also for the further reason that
the commissioner Of agriculture and
labor is elected by the people, his
position being an elective one, while
the chairman of the state tax COM
mission is an appointive position
and it would seem that it would be
better for the state board Of equali-
zation to be constituted Of officials
elected by the people rather than
that any part Of them should hold
their positions by appointment.
