A BiQ UndertQkinq

Practically covering the southern half of the state
in the last four months, The Bismarck Tribune
"Overlanders' spent the last week in North Dakota3
metropolitan city-Fargo.
Starting out on a new and untried venture, with
little or no public notice of them, they have put the
novel idea of covering the state OH horseback to a
practical test and in the splendid success which they
have had, have called the attention not of the state
alone but of the country.
Four months ago-April %, to be exact-lhe
"Overlanders' were put on the road. They numbered
three then-now they number a dozen. The plan 10
thoroughly cover the state, visiting every county
seat and other important towns by tie way is not
new, but the method applied by The Tribune is one
never before tried in North Dakota or the United
~States-therefore, it would be safe to say, it has never
been tried by anyone, anywhere
To outfit a dozen men with horses, saddles, etc,
pay their expenses and salaries is an expensive un'
d~ertaking, but it has yielded good returns. IN 1our
months the subscription list of The Tribune has been
doubled, and the capital city paper-the Oldest in tne
state-has been put before the eyes of nearly every
newspaper-reading person in the state-in the part
SO far visited, at least.
Starting out from Bismarck April ~, the three
"Overlanders' have increased to over a dozen, and
going east and southeast from Bismarck have effect
ually covered the southern half Of North Dakota. They
have been on the Pingree-Witon line, on the Plaza
extension OF the 500, on the main line OF the 500 10

southeast from Bismarck, introducing The tribune
into every town along the line. At Mofft, BraddocK,

Hall MQkinQ Good

A short time ago mention was made that the state
board of equalization had again reduced the levy III
mills for general fund purposes. thereby saving the
people of the state about $500 in taxes the coming
year. This morning it is pleasant to mention the fact
that Thomas Hall, secretary Of state, saved the snug
sum of $1,000 in the purchase of automobile tags for
1914. Mr.. Hall contends that a tag for SERVICE not
for ornament, is wanted, and as a result th're will
be nearly $1,000 OF extra money for distribution to
counties for road purposes. 1t appears that the heads
of the state departments are not asleep.

WJnOrddined MiniSfru"

A reception will be given to the teachers Of the
Bismarck schools Monday evening at the Presbyterian
church, to which the public is cordially invited. That
the teachers of our public schools are a force IN
the community is acknowledged by all, and it is quite
fitting that we should, from time to time, express
appreciation for the "unordained ministry" Among
the teachers are many new faces--and others whose
value we have come to recognize in the past. 1t is
safe to say that the bismarck schools have never
opened with such a promise Of success.

nAws7v DRINKING CUP BAN,sAED.

The sovereign state Of North Dakota Is breaking
it's own laws. The last session Of the legislature
enacted a law, which became effective September l.
which outlawed the public drinking cup from trains
running in this state and from all stations, public ana
parochial schools, educational institutions of any
description whatsoever, and all public buildings, no.
matter by whom owned or operated. This is a gen.
eral law which is being enacted by many states in
the Union, and is considered by all health authorities
as a step in the right direction. Each and every vlo-
lation of the law is to be treated as a mlsdemeanor
and is punishable by a fine not to exceed twenty-five
dollars.
In conjunction with this law is q federal statute
barring public drinking cups on interstate trains, so
that the state ought to be in a pretty good position to
wage a successful war on the festive bacteria.
While the schools of the city and the hotels gen.
orally have complied with the law the public drinking
cup is still chained to the. rantiquated old tin water
cooler at the state capitol; in fact, there are several
of the tabooed public drinking cups still in evidence
in the first public building of North Dakota, the state
capitol. There has been much talk about the mater,
among state officials and their employees and it is not
decided yet who ought to suffer for the violation OF
the law. 1t is probable that the board of trustees OF
public property is responsible-that is, if the male.
factors higher up are to be prosecuted; If not it will
be Jake Rieder, superintendent of capitol building
and grounds, and in his absence, Billy Laist.
Burleigh county seems to be another offender. In
any event, the dilapidated, disreputable, bacteria in
tested drinking cup was yet in business late yester-
day afternoon. 1t is PROBABLE that the county com
missioners will have to suffer in this instance for the
violation of the law. and the fine will probably be
equally divided between Ed. Patterson and Carl 10
sticky, resident commissioners.
e#~LATER-Rieder "Donc It."
The new law doing away with the public drinking
cup has been complied with at the state capitol, build
ing. Mr.. Rieder, the custodian, complied with the
law very easily.
He walked up to the old water cooler that has
stood OH the second floor of tie capitol, near the head
of the stairs, for some 20 years, sauted, put an arm
around the water co~oler--which had been emptled--
picked up the stand on which 1t had stood for ~
wears, with the other, and marched off down the ha'i
toward the exit, which opens to the path
that leads to the publish pen, where the old ice-watef
tank was laid tenderly down with a loud thud to its
eternal rest.

Fresh From the Capitol
Mr.. CARMoDY's OPINION.

The entire state is much interested in a recent
opinion handed down by Attorney General Miller
relative to the assessment of certain properties which
have hitherto been exempted. This opinion holds that
portions of the 1913 exemption law is in conflict with
Section 176 Of the state Constitution. This section
OF the constitution exempts from taxation all property
used exclusively for school, religious, cemetery and
. charitable purposes, as well as federal, state, city,
county township and school property. The attorney
generals office is of the opinion that many hospitals,
which are exempted under paragraph 6 of the 1913
law, and lodges, posts, chapters, communicates, etc,
exempted by the same law, are taxable under Section
17G of the Constitution.
The report has gained circulation throughout the
state that this opinion in some manner affects re-
ligious institutions. The opinion does not touch upon
religious institutions Of any description--pot even
dormitories owned and operated by religious s0cle:les.
l. does not give any authority for placing upon the
tax rolls any property owned by a religious body and
exempted by Chapter 2S Of the Session laws of 1873.
The attorney generals opinion, which was written by
Judge Car1nody, is as follows:
Section 17G of the Constitution requires the leglS'
lature to pass laws exempting from taxation properly
used exclusively for school, religious, cemetery, or
= charitable purposes, and personal property 3to any.
amount not exceeding III value two hundred dollars
a.. for each individual liable to taxation. 1t also exelnpls
from taxation all property of the United States ana
the state, county ana municipal cOrpoTatOnS. uHuci
this section of the Constitution, in my opinion. para.
graphs 1, 2. 3. 4, ), 6, Z and S are constitutional
Paragraph 3 of said section comes within the provi.
sious of Section l7G Of the State Constitution. In ny
opinion Chapter $50 of the Session Laws of 1913,
amending Section 1854 of the Revised Codes of l9V5,
is constitutional as follows: Sections l, 2, d, 4, s.
and s."
"n my opinion all that parts of section 6 that at
tempt to exempt from taxation public hospitals under
the control of religious Or$charitable societies used
wholly or in part for public charity is unconstitl-
tional, as the hospital must be used wholly for chart
ties" ~H
81 think section 8 is wholly unconstitutional
1t is understood that Judge Carmody based hl'
opinion Of the exemptions of hospitals on Engstad vs..
Grand Forks County, 10, N. d. 81.
As regards fraternal societies, the Constitution OF
North Dakota differs from that of most states, in that
it does not exempt from taxation benevolent societies,
and the attorney general Of NORTH Dakota does not
believe lodges and kindred organizations are either
exclusively charitable or educational; the only exemp.
lions of the Constitution under which they could
come.
