TO members of the local association

not given a hearing. 1t is probable
that a new hearing will be asked or an

were actually paid from jdfy Is. The
amount due on the latter date was
paid by the league, part of it being as
sessed to the various clubs, each Of
which WIS called upon to put up about
$50. The Bloomington association de-
clined to pay it's share, but at the Chi

Bloomington took the matter before

FEWER AND BETTER DRAFTED
LAWS DESIRED.

Christian Science Monitor: The
cause Of law reform in the United
States has many aspects. One is re-
duction Of the number of new stat
utes. Another is perfection Of the
form OF those still deemed necessary.
1t is not enough to embody the ideal
of justice: the definition of that idea
must be in such precise terms and so
carefully worded that officers pledged
to enforce it, judges set apart to in
terpret it and citizens under obliga-
tions to obey it shall know just wfa
discovery that the statute clashes with
other laws. In other words, perfect
law is as unassailable in its form as
it is in it's content
A state legislature, generally speak
ing, makes little provision for secur-
ing Well-dsafted legislation: nor has
congress any such staff of experts as
belongs to the British parliament But
to the credit of some of the states
OF the American Union be it said that
they at last realize the need Of sound
cr methods; and the higher legal Or
CARNATIONS Of the country also are

| from the poultry industry, which is
assuming important proportions. and
from the many minor crops which
form important additions to the in
come of almost every farmer.
| To arrive at the total income Of the
state, we must also consider a num-
ber of other items. The coal mining
I industry in the west is important, and
many men are making good incomes
| in that field. The manufacturing and
other productive industries III the cit
| les contribute their share. The total
| income of the state. therefore, reaches
! large figures. and tho income per
capita and per family is brought to a
/ point where it is, we believe. un-
! euualled and unapproached anywhere
! in the United States.
I What docs this mean to the people
! of the state? 1t means abundant
! cause for thankfulness. 1t means a
| sense of comfort and security, of con-
fidence in the state and of pcrma :
nence Of its prosperity, for what has
been accomplished even in the past
year is but slight indication of the
possibilities for the future. 1t means
| that while in many parts of the world.
and of our own country, suffering and
privation prevail. our people are rich
in all material things. 1t means that
we may start on the work of the new
year with renewed courage and hope

larger life which our material pros
perity makes possible. 1t means. too
that We are able, as we have demon
strated that we are willing, to minis
ter to the comfort of the needy and
own land or elsewhere.
What does it mean to the business
of the country. this marvellous pros
perity in the Northwest? 1t means
that North Dakota is today the most
| desirable market for everything that
can be used to advantage OH the farm
or in the home. Our people are able
to buy good goods, and to pay for
them. They are not slendthrifts, but
, they are sufficiently awake to the de-
mands of real progress to be ambi-
tious to have the best possible homes
| for their families. the best possible
buildings for their stock, and the best
equipment In and out OF doors, and
the best OF everything that goes to aid
in real living. They are not restrict
ed to the bare necessities of the prin-
tive man, but are in the market for
the things that make life liveable in
all its forms. For many OF the things
they need our people must look cleo
where. And the men who are engag-
ed in the work Of making and SELL
ing goods such as are needed in any
thriving community will find their
very best markets today in the state
of North Dakota.

PROSPERITY.

Most appropriately as a means OF
adding to the good cheer OF the sea-
son, comes the publication of the gov
ernment's figures OF crop production
and prices for the year. North Dako-
tans are especially interested in the
returns for their own state. and a
glance at the figures presented must
be highly satisfactorily and encour-
aging to every citizen OF The state.
The value Of the eight principal
form products of this state for the
year 1914 is placed al s144,OO0, 600,
which is an increase of practically
$40. 1000 over the value of the same
products produced in 1913.
North Dakota has Approximately
100000 people. Her eight principal
farm csops have brought to the state
enough money this year to give cv-
cry man. woman and child in the
state more than 5000. The increase
over last year is more than $50 per
capita, Or 80 per cent. On the basis
OF five members to each family. this;
gives the state an income from these
crops alone of over $1,000 per family.
No other state in the Union can make
such a showing.
1t must be remembered, too. that
this is only the income from certain
farm crops. and that it by no means
represents the total income of the
state. Nor, it we are to estimate cor
rectlF just what it means, can we fig
ure OH the distribution OF that income
among the entire population. While
large majority of our people live on
the farms, many thousands OF them
live in the cities and villages, and the
| engaged In activities other than farm
ing. We have not at hand the fig
ures on relative rural and urban pop
ulation, but it is safe to assume that
there are enough urban residents to
bring the actual form income from
these chief crops up to $1,50o per
farm family. To this there must be
added the Income from stock raising,
