The Initiative and Referendum
passed the House last Thursday.
There were IS ayes, p hayes and 6
absent. The vote of the Goth dis
trict delegation was as follows:
Ayes Batter. Bope and streeter.

Initiative and Referendum will pass

probably be closer in the upper

There was considerable excitement
in the House Friday. when two reso-
lutions were introduced. One was
by Representative Fox. of Burleigh
county, making certain charges
against Andrew Miller. attorney
general, and P. D. Norton con-
gressman-elect for the Third dis
trict. and late secretary Of state.
Representatives F. W. Turner. kel-
iogg and bope we're appointed as an
investigating committee. A resolu-
ton vas also introduced charging
that certain state officers had failed
to file their bonds, as required by
law. Representatives Haroldson
Campbell and Streeter were appoint
ed on this committee.
Next day Representative Knos
moved that the resolution appoint
ing the committe to investigate Mil
Ter and Norton be recon -ldered anc
indefinitely postponed. This was de

a lengthy communication was also
received from Mr.. Miller. in which
he tried to create sympathy by init
mating that he was being investigat-
ed because he was progressive and
questioning the motives Of Repre-
sentative Fox and calling him by
name This was a very peculiar
proceeding, and an insult to the
House that was not relished by that
body. During tie debate on the dis
position to be made Of MIR. Miller's
communication Speaker frame
severely scored the attorney general
for his action. On motion the COM
munication was referred to the COM
mittee that had been appointed to in
vestigate Miller and Norton-much
to the modification of Miller. AS
the House is overwhelmingly Prog.
ressive, it would seem that the at
.ornev general would have no fear
Of an investigation. and it is abso-
lutely certain that. if there has been
nothing done By the officers under
investigation that they should not
have done. the committee report
will clearly SO state. On the con-
1 trary. should the facts be otherwise.
I they will be stated in the report.
Z Following are among the bills of
general interest reported in Senate
or House since my last report
a bill has been introduced which
allows the attorney general to viz
tually take charge of the states at.
torneys' Offices in all the counties.
Under its provisions, even in ordi.
nary suits in which the county is in.
terested. either as plaintiff or de.
PENDANT, the county commissioners
would not even have a right to say
what attorney or attorneys should
be employed to assist the states at
/ torney. 1t is not believed this bill
will pass. 1t is in the interest Of
Andy Miller.
A bill giving the commissioner:
authority to say whether deputie:
are needed in county has passed
the House.
Providing that delinquent seed
grain payments shall be spread OF
the tax lists.
Prohibiting the giving Of tips.
A constitutional amendment pro
viding for single four-year term fol
governor and providing for COVER
nor's cabinet making all states Of
fiers appointive instead of elective
as at present.
Providing that state engineer:
may prepare plans for the construc
ton of bridges. drains and culvert
when so requested by the county
commissioners.
Providing that states attorney
may inspect freight and expires
books in the enforcement OF tn,
prohibition law. referred to the com
mittee on temperance.
Constitutional amendment pro
viding four-year terms for state an,
county officers and members of tn,

A bill preventing the sale of smut

Senate.
A bill making illegal the sale Q
giving away of cigarettes has passe
the House.
A bill placing on the election ba
lot opposite their electors the name
of the different candidates for pres

Senate. This does away with til
trouble found at the preside initial pr

sible for any voter to be certain tina
he was voting for the bunch @
presidential electors who represen
the candidate of his choice for pre-
sident.

New York; Is diligent to show, al
though it AYERS that "the whole ten
dency Of these outrageous perform
ances is toward the indecent, the i'm
moral, the putrid." Equally critical in
her views, although purely analytic in
her method, is Cora Harris, who,
writing in The Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post, says thai the turkey
trot Is "a form of amusement designed
for primitive people by primitive peo-
pie before they discover the danger
of being too NATURAL and remind us
that at first such dancing was an Eek
preston of religion" At present, how
ever, it is neither religious nor pious,
but lis simply the universal litter of
femininity. 1t is a form of hysteria,
slight, transient, and will be gone be-
fore the end of the year"
No other dance in the world we
read further, has attracted so much
attention. or excited so much criticism,
but =, L. ~ @~%,.C. "
"The reaction is evidently at hand.
And the women viii lead that also,
because they are still ,~barometers Of
public opinion, never the creators Of
it. They cannot hold out against the
gathering volume of criticism which
the dance is exciting"
