New Form Of
State Government
May Be Tried in Minnesota and.
if Found Successful May be
Tried in North Dakota

Bismarck, N. D. The 1913
Legislative Assembly Of Mime
sofa provided for an Efficiency
and Economy Commission to de-
wise new form Of state govern
ment. Their preliminary re-
port is out and it provides for
the substitution Of governor
and his cabinet, lieutenant gov
ernor, attorney general secre-
tary Of state, civil service COM
mission, auditor and tax commits
sion for the now existing
seventy-tive departments sup
ported by the treasury Of Mime
sofa. The governor cabinet
consists Of director Of III
nance; of public domain; Of pub
lie welfare; Of education; OF
labor and commerce and Of aagri-
culture. All of these are to be
appointed by the governor and
confirmed by the senate, and
hello office at his pleasure
except that Of finance and
education-andt to be assisted
by an unpaid advisory board ap-
pointed in like manner. Each
one of the more important Of
the seventy-five departments is
represented by a bureau chief
working under one of.the sever
al directors. All the heads of
bureaus and their assistants and
employees are to be under civil
service. The elective officials,
the governor s cabinet and ad-
visory boards are representa-
tives of the people, while the
heads Of bureaus and their en-
ployees are professional ex-
perts.
The only paid boards left un-
der this plan are the tax COM
mission and the railroad and
warehouse commission, the board
of control and other important
boards being abolished.
This plan Of government elimi-
mates a large number Of Officials
and makes great saving in the
state administration, and the
commission contends will result
in much greater efficiency than
the present system. 1t is prob
able that some such commission
will be created by the next leg
islative. assembly in North Da-
kcta. Forty bills were intro
duced into the last session OF
the Minnesota legislature to
abolish boards and departments,
and officials are all looking to-
ward curtailment of expenses
If they had all been enacted into
laws there would have been no
state government.

COMPARISON OF TAXES IN
NO. OAK. AND NEBRASKA

In answer to the State Tax
Commissions recommendation
that the assessed valuations of
the railroads be raised from for
ty-five to- sixty-three million
dollars. The railroads admitted
that they pay less in North Da-
kota than in Minnesota, Mon
tana, Idaho or Washington, but
they contended that it is un-
fair to compare North Dakota
with these states. They main
tain that a comparison with
Iowa, South Dakota or Nebraska
would be fair and the following
comparison with Nebraska has
been complied by the commits

Flying Squadron
Will Visit Fargo
Campaign Will Be Made in the:
Interests of National Pro-
hibition

Fargo is to get Il taste OF war.
1t is in the path Of the Flying
Squadron of America, and is to
be bombarded with arguments
III favor of national prohibition.
The bombardment will last for
three days, and there will be
attacks from three sets of "fly
ers. - The dates are Nov. 5, 6
and Z.
The following official state
ment Of purpose and articles of
agreement have been issued:
We. the undersignl d. agree
to associate ourselves together in
an organization to- be- known as
1.-The Flying Squadron of Ameri
ca. Our immediate and sole
object is the Inauguration and
eX, cuticn Of Il great forward
movement for the national dcs-
truction of the liquor traffic.
I'VE are impclled to take this
step because Of a profound con-
viction that the time is ripe for
a united effort in harmony with
the best expressed sentiment Of
the best citizenship of America.
This movement shall be without
prejudice too, or interference
with, the fundamental prin-
ciples or policies OF any organiza-
tion now in the field: we shall
not represent any particular
party, society or special group of
workers, but we shall endeavor
to crystalize into concrete action
the ever-increasing sentiment OF
all who are opposed to this great
enemy Of mankind.
Our object and purpose is to
visit the capitals of the several
states, the national capital at
Washington, d. G., and others
Of the largest cities Of the nation
to- the, approximate number OF
$50, including the great universe
ty cities. We shall hold a three
days meeting Of two sessions
each day, in each said cities, to
educate and arouse patriotic men
and women to the immediate ma
tional abolition of the liquor
traffic.
1--WE confidently assert the
righte ousness CT our cause, and
to the accomplishment of the
end herein declared, we severally
and mutually agree to band our
selves together. knowing no 9TH
er interest than this great issue.
To- this high task, relying upon
Divine Providence. we dedicate
ourselves in the name Of our COM
mon humanity, and for the honor
Of the nation s flag.
I'VE stand for the national
prohibition Of the liquor traffic.
Whenever a politician or an
executive officer, or a political
party, prefers the liquor traffic
above the public morals, such
men must be set aside and such
PAL ties abandoned. TO the ac-
complisi.ment Of this high pur-
pose we dedicate ourselves and
invite all who are with us agreed
to enroll in this army by sign
ing this pledge service" /"
It's a mighty big proposition
and it will undoubtedly have big
results. At amy rate Fargo is
fortunate in being in the path Of
tits rarid-fire' bunch and will
probably pack the auditorium to
bear them.-Forum.
