THE PURE A BILL.

The bill which was passed by the
senate yesterday afternoon which
places restrictions on the sale Of
meat from animals affected with con,
tagious or infectious diseases was a
step in the right direction. Scientists
tell us that infected meat is one Of
the most dangerous things to the pub
lie health that we have to contend
with. This danger, Of course, lies
more generally in the larger cities,
where poor people are compelled to
buy meats from the smaller markets
and Of the cheaper cuts and in many
cases these shops are not any too par
ticular as to the supply of meat. This
law will compel them not only to in
sist that meat of this character be
tagged as such, hut they will have
to furnish a separate cutting block on
which to handle it. The bill is Il good
n and should pass the house.

be allowed to interfere with his oftic-
ial position. Your committee thoroly
disapproves of any such arrangement
as the firm. OF Miller and Zuger, for in
thisipartnership we find the Attorney
Gegsialf and one Of his assistants in
oneiIaiGce. 1t is very apparent that if
this firm is to do any business what
ever it must be at the expense OF the
state as their work cannot be limited
to counseling or advising, o can they
handle cases outside of the time they
should be devoting to their official
position. The position of Attorney
General lis a very important one. He
is adviser of all the state officials and
all the different boards and institu-
lions and he should exercise every
care to prevent any prejudice arising
IN his mind by a matter of private int
crest. 1t appears to your committee
to be wrong for the Attorney General
to engage as a private party in any
case in which the public is directly
interested.
In case your Honorable Body should
deem it most wise for the Attorney
General to abandon private practice,
your committee would recommend
that the salary be materially increas-
ed as it appears from the evidence pre-
sented to your committee that lawyers
of note in the state of North Dakota
earn more from their private practice
than the present salary paid to the
Attorney General.

INVESTIGATIONS.

The reports of the committees
which were appointed to investigate
the various state offices have been
turned in and there has been nothing
sensational in any Of them, although
nine offices and commissions were re-
ported. There are, to be sure, a few
recommendations made as to officers
engaging in private business and as
regards making their permanent
home in Bismarck during the term Of
their office, but according to the com
mittees no very glaring faults have
been found.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE,

Insurance experts are not, as a rule,
much concerned with the sentimental
side of their business. They deal
with death and destruction in a cold
blooded and m"atter.of.fact way that
inspires confidence in their wisdom,
if not in their sensibilities. There
fore, any opinion given by insurance
experts may be taken as the result
of experience and exact knowledge.
For this reason, when the Association
Of Life Insurance Presidents tells us
that an economic gain of $1,000, OOO.-
900 could be made every year in this
country by the elimination of pre-
ventable diseases we are staggered
by Tie figures but we do not question
their substantial correctness, accord
ing to the Kansas City Star.
1t is only in more recent years that
our economists have been concerned
with the subject of p%reventable dis.
eases, but remarkable progress has
been made. If 1900, 900 deaths are
caused every year in this country by
diseases that could have been pre-
vented, surely the matter is one OF
the highest Importance. The experts
assert that proper application of sci
entific knowledge would make pre-
vention possible if every state aided
in keeping records of diseases, births
and deaths. Surely this is little
enough to do in return for the relief
promised. 1t would seem that our
state legislatures should cheerfully
cooperate in securing statistics nee
essary to bring about any great saw
ing of human life and money.
The most promising field of scien-
ti1ic achievement today lies in the d.
rection of prevention of diseases.
We have only entered this era, but
astonishing results have followed the
first efforts. As science goes deeper
into the subject the possibilities of
alleviating human suffering increases
to an almost unbelievable degree.
tuberculosis, for centuries the dread
scourge Of the human race, has been
robbed of many of it's terrors and it
Is gradually diminishing as a neces-
sarily fatal affection. SO it is with
pneumonia, which has always run
tuberculosis a close second as a de-
stroyer Of life. It all parts of the
world skillful scientists are working
in the realm Of preventive medicine
and the hope Of the race lies in their
success.
It is inevitable that disappoint-

The Tax Commission,


In reference to the tax commission,
We find that all members have given
their time to the work of the office.
One member, f, f.. Packard, is con-
nectad with the Bismarck Times and
writes some of its editorials, but the
other members of the commission are
engaged in no other profession or oc-
cupation, and each one of them states
that Mr.. Packard has attended to his
duties as TaXICommissioner in a thor
ough and conscientious manner, and
that he has performed his full share
of the labors of the office. However,
we doubt the wisdom of the head Of
any department being actively engag-
ed in writing editorials for his own
or any otherRnewspaper, and econ
mend that such practice be d%iscontin-
ned, and that appropriate legislation
be enacted to meet such conditions.
State Engineer.
In regard to the State Engineers
office, your committee finds, that the
law says that the state engineer shall
not engage in private practice. We
find that he has engaged lin private
practice, in that he has acted as City
Engineer for the city of Bismarck,
and that he has rendered services and
RECEIVED conversation for such SER
vices from private practice. From such
evidence as we have been able to OIL
tain, it appears to your committee that
such services have been in the way of
advising, consulting and directing and
they do not seem to have interfered
with his duties as State Engineer. The
salary Of State Engineer lis $4,000 per
year, which is rather small for a high
ly trained official. Mr.. Atkinson show.
ed your committee that he had expend-
ed some moneys from his private
purse for the benefit Of the state and
he feels he should have the benefit OF
this private practice. However, it ap-
pears to your committee that such is
contrary to law and if your Honorable
Body deem it wise that the State En-
sineer should continue to engage in
such private practice, the law should
be amended to that effect.

believe that these items, amounting in
all to Sc, 800. 90 should be considered as

Of the report
The examiner has also checked the
promotion of immigration Juno for the
years Of 1909 and 1910 so far as time has
permitted. From the examiners report
to your committee, it appears that during
these years it was the practice of the
State Auditing Board, when it was found
necessary to finance the making of North
Dakota exhibits in outside states, to adj
vance to the COMMISSIONS the necessary
funds on a voucher on which was stated
as follows: '~Sub-vouchers to be at
tached later Later su%b-vouchers would
attached to the original voucher covering
the amount advanced. In formulating his
official report, the commissioner would
show long series of items under one
date instead of under date upon which
payment was made by him. This has
made it a difficult matter to checl;
against the possible duplication of pay
ment,-especially so, in view of the fact
that many of the ~sub-vouchers were not
dated at all. On page IS of the Com

In 1911 and 1912 there was expended
from the maintenance fund $500 for
machinery, more than there was en-
pended in the years 1907 and 1908 for
machinery, and in 19lA and 1912, forty
acres of land were purchased from the
maintenance fund at a cost Of $500.
Taking all these matters into cOnsid-

Of 1911 and 1912 was slightly less than
for the biennial period Of 1907 and
