an ideal point for shipping purposes.
We will have railroad facilities in
every direction. Foreign enterprise
could be easily directed here. and the
result would be added prosperity for
all of US. Why not let US get in the
game There is clear field here for
a number of enterprises which we
as yet have not. a laundry would
be paying proposition from the
go. A tailor shop is another thing
needed. There will be no end Of
construction work that will be lone

wrecked. Probably two dozen
persons were killed and twice as

age ranges in the vicinity of
million dollars. 1t is said that the
explosion resulted from one Of the

OF the same faction as the attorney
general, they found that MIR. Miller
had spent a good deal of his time at
private work, and that ne had used
his stenographer. paid by the state,
in doing private work at his office
down town. Then the committee
made the astounding discovery that
the way to cure Mr.. Miller's offlcia.
laches was to pay him a larger SAL
airy. although since he has been in
office said salary has been raised
from two thousand to thirty.six
hundred dollars. and the further fact
that MIR. Miller's practice in Bis
marck before he obtained the office
was not of such volume as to have
made him a financial nabob. But
the attorney general is foxy chap
and one Of the shrewdest lobbyists
at the capital. During the session a
great deal Of his time is spent in the
hotel Hobbies: but the state pays
the freight.
At the recent session there was q
bill presented for paying Mr..
Hetfron. Mr.. Miller's assistant west
of the river. the sum Of FIVE thousand
dollars for his services in the at
tempted enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law. Another bill provided
for the payment to Mr.. Thompson
of the sum Of two thousand dollars
for assisting in the doing Of Mr..
Miller's work in the northeastern
part of the state. Both of these
bills were defeated. The members
of the assembly did not disguise the
fact that they we're getting tired Of
Miller's continued efforts for more
salary and more help to do the work
that he and his deputies should
themselves perform. The Record
believes that from opinions ex-
pressed by many people in Bismarck.

4 committee was appointed to

officers. This committee consisted
of Representatives Haroldson of
Bottineau. Campbell of Morton and
the writer The law makes it the
duty of the governor to see that the
proper bonds and oaths Of office are
filed by the state officers. 1t was
found that in this particular Gov.
ernor Burke had paid practically no
attention to his duties. Many Of
the elective and appointive officers
had not complied with the law. and
in not more than two or three in
stances had the bonds and oaths Of
officers been properly filed and re.

hear the question. What could have
been his motive?!" Evidently no
one would provoke the jeers and in.
suits Of neighbors and former friends
without motive. 1t is q fact that
the railroads and particularly the
Northern Pacific-are opposed to an
Initiative and Referendum either
with or without constitutional
provision and it was noted all
through the session that Senator
Hughes was opposed to even fair and
reasonable measures in relation to
the railroads The reade. can draw
his own conclusions.
Another man who is being roasted
all over the state is Lieutenant
Governor kraabel, President of the
Senate. Although he was elected
on an Initiative and Referendum
platform, he used his office at every
stage Of parliamentary procedure in
the Senate to cripple the friends Of
the measure.
However. those who were at.
tempting to kill the Initiative and
Referendum entirely were doomed
to failure. At the previous session
the Senate and House had also
passed two other Initiative and Ref.
erendum bills-one providing fol
voting on constitutional amendments
and the other without such provis-
ion. These bills had passed the
Senate early in the session and we're
in the House clerks possession.
When it was found that there was
no show for the Ployhar- Blakemore
bill in the Senate. the two Senate
bills were taken up and passed.
The one with the constitutional pro-
vison requires petition bearing the
names Of twenty-five per cent Of the
voters in each Of half of the coun.
ties of the state to initiate q measure,
while the Ployhar- Blakemore bill re-
CURED but fifteen per cent. How.
ever, as many blank petitions as are
necessary can be sent into the var,
Gus counties, so the work of getting
signatures will not be as expensive
work as it is thought it will be
by some people. for volunteers will
be willing to circulate the blanks
asking for vote on important
measures. Furthermore. If twenty.
ty-five per cent in half Of the coun-
ties Of the state cannot be obtained.
what is the use of submitting q
measure with the expectation Of Sc
curing majority at the subsequent
election The advantage of the
Ployar- Blakemore bill was that it
required only a majority Of the
votes cast on the question submit
ted, while the bill that passed al.
lowing votes on constitutional
amendments provides that it must
have majority Of ali votes cast.

to the voters at the general election
Of 1914 for their approval or re-
lection.
The Blue Sky Law" passed. This
law regulates the selling of stocks,
bonds, etc., and will do away with
the many dollars collected in the
state for stocks and bonds Of wild
cat mining and other companies. 1t
gets its name Blue Sky" because
it opens to the view Of the public the
exact condition of the companies
wishing to sell stocks or bonds. as
it provides that no sales Of securi-
ties shall be made in the state by
any person or corporation who has
not shown to the state authorities
that there is nothing in the nature
Of a swindle in their proposition.
A bill passed providing for the
publication by the state of popular
edition Of the Session Laws. This
edition will be published within
thirty days after the sessions close.
The price will be ten per cent over
the cost of publication The edition
will be in pamphlet form. The
writer was informed by the deputy
secretary Of state that it was
thought the price would rot be
much. if any, more than fifty cents
per copy. The pamphlets are to be
furnisheud to the various county
auditors. As the project is an en-
pertinent. it was not known even
approximately what the number re-
Quired would be. and therefore the
edition is limited. Those wanting
the books can procure them as soon
as the, are publised by paving the
price to the county auditor. who
will send for the books. This pay
ment in advance is necessary in or
der that the secretary of state may
know just how many booksto send to
each county. The Record will pub
lish the price as soon as it has been
settled upon.

An anti-snutf bill makes it crime
to sell or give away snoos. ard
another opens the DOORS of the Jail

cigarettes. The writer uses Meth
er snuff nor cigarettes, but he voted
against both Of these bills for the
reason that both are easily obtained
