The proposed national highway
measure has a wide degree of opu
larity in this state. Under the proyi.
sions of the Bourne bill, North Da.
kota would get about SIS, 900, 900 dur.
ing the fifty-year period. This amount
in a prairie state would insure much
better roads than in other parts of
the country, where heavy expenses
would have to be incurred in grading
and bridges. That sum-, judicially ex
pended, would give this state a sDlen.

is unable to appropriate the great
sums for this work that the populous
and wealthy states of the cast can
afford.

COUNTY COMMISSION PROPOSED

Shall North Dakota counties adopt
the commission system of govern.
ment in the same manner as the cit.
les? That is a question that is ;lst
now receiving considerable attention
in this state and it generally meets
with a favorable reception.
The change to this form of govern.
mcnt would be much easier for the
counties than for the cities. In fact,
no legislation would be imperative.
he boards of commissioners in this
state are composed of three members
as the minimum. but any county can
have five. The great majority have
the latter number, which corresponds
TO the number of commissioners un.
der the city law.
1t is proposed that, until new legis.
latlon Is had, that the work of the
counties be apportioned among the
different commissioners, calling each
a chairman instead of a commissioner
or That department. One would be
general chairman Of the commission
ers, one would have charge of the
financial budget, another of the meth.
Cd Of conducting the work of the dit.
ferent county Offices, another OF the
bridges, and the fourth, of the poor.
1t is asserted that such a system
would make for both efficiency and
economy, would give the counties an
improved service and eventually re.
suit in an expert handling OF the al
fairs of the county, as each member
would want TO make as good a show.
ing as possible for his department.
The idea is in harmony with public
sentiment at this time in North Da.
kota. There is a general spirit o:
progressiveness and an ambition 10
secure the best possible service in
public places. 1t is possible some
of the larger counties will give the
plan a trial and if it is found 10 work
out successfully the state law MAY
be radically changed at the next leg.

in bill has now gone to the senate,
where the first serious opposition Will

iOrity in the senate Is so small that
undoubtedly some concessions Will
have to be made in order to insure the
measures passage. The normal ma.
jOrjty Of six senator's has been re-
duced TO four, because the Louisiana
senators cannot support a measure

tors and Two wool senators could de-
feat the whole bill and thereby send
the democratic pledges to the bone

TO III" southern senators and han
ding the western senators with soft
WOODEN gloves.
In this delicate situation the strong
republican organization in the senate
hopes TO secure a modification Of
some Of the more radical provisions
of the bill. Certainly this is an OppOr-
tunity for effective opposition to the
scheme of reckless revision which
should not, be neglected. The rcpuJ-
Leans of the senate owe it to the
every honorable effort to rob the dem
ocratic tariff program Of as many OF
its iniuuitics IS possible. Perhaps the
fatal blow to the American sugar in
dustry can be avcrtcd, or at least
modified, by tie republican minority
aided by the senators from tbs cugar
states. Western Kansas is vitality in
trrrslrd in this situation, and the
beet sugar growers, whose industry
has become a great factor in the de-
vrlOpment Of the Arkansas valley re-
EiOn, have a right to demand that the
Kansas srnOtOrs shall uphold their

tow will follow the action of most
Of the prOgrrsSivrS in the house and

Senator Thompson as a democrat is
between two fires. On the one hand
is his loyalty to the senate democrat
ic caucus and on the other are the in
Of the people of Kansas and
especially of those in the neighbour
hood which is his home. A vote
against the bill will bring down upon
his head the wrath of the president
and of the senate democratic leaders,
and a vote for the bill will mean loss
of popularity at home. So it does
appear thai the Underwood bill
is to have smooth sailing in the sen
ate, by any means. Under the cir
cumstances the date set for a sen
agreement. August |, may
have to be extended Or possibly aban-
doned altogether.
