The general opoinion seems to be
that the action of the state board of
equalization, in keeping the state tax
levy within the limit specified by law
and the constitution, will by reason
of the cut in the special educational
institutions tax, force the institutions
to close, because of lack of funds with
which to pay running expenses.
It is true that in order to keep with
in the limit prescribed by law, the
special levies were cut 90 per cent,
and as a consequence the revenue
from this special tax, to the Nniyersl-
ty, for instance, will be cut from
$102,O 900 to about $4,000. It is also
true that at first glance this seems to
be a tremendous cut in the revenue OF
this institution,
Investigation discloses that the uni
versity, and the other institutions
benefting, do not depend on this spe-
cial tax entirely for their revenue.
In the case of the university it is
found that they receive money from
no less than seven different state
sources; that in a period of 20 months
from January /, 1918, the state remit
ted to the university no less than the
total sum of SAT-, 240.19, " about
$3.50 for every day Of that period,
whether Sunday, holiday, school day,
or vacation time. Of that total
amount $187 ,531.S6 was revenue from
the special educational institution
tax. While other educational institu.
tons do not receive state aid from
so many different sources, yet in no
instance, is any educational institu.
ton in this state entirely dependent
upon this special tax.
In addition to the total amount paid
by the state to the university, there
must have been considerable revenue
from dormitory rents, tuition fees,
and income from boarding hall. The
writer was unable to find how much
this amounted to.
Following is a statement showing
the amount paid during the 20 months
before mentioned, from each fund, or
account:

SHY $8O,93O.86

University Notes

Among tine lectures given at the
University during the school year is
the series known as the Naturalization
lectures. These lectures are requir-
ed Of all freshmen and credit is given
for proper attendance and for under.
standing of the course covered. This
course of lectures is primarily for the
purpose of giving a general survey Of
University work. Frequently fresh
men come to a university without a
clear understanding of the aims of a
college education, without any fixed
purpose, without any grasp on the
large fields Of knowledge. The Uni
versity of North Dakota has estab-
lished this series of talks, given by
prominent professors, to help the new
student to find himself and to work
out a purpose early in his college
course. During the present year the
lectures are under the supervision Of
a special Naturalization lecture com
mittee, of which Dean Vernon P.
Squires is the chairman.

SIDEWALK NEEDED.

There is invested in the Bismarck
Armory some $4,000, but the build
ing is without suitable sidewalk ap-
proach or adequate street lights.
This building is one of the best suit
ed for local social functions and the
approaches and lighting facilities
should be adequate.
The commission should consult the
needs of the city in this respect, and
order in a sidewalk and lights at
once, so that persons attending func'
lions in the armory will not be incon'
%venienced.
1t is important that the armory
should be supported, but the militia
boys are under a severe handicap un
til sidewalks and suitable lights are
provided.

Football Situation.
The football situation at the Uni
versity looks very good and the sea-
son gives promise of being one of the
most successful in the history Of the
University. Coach T. A. Gill is do
ing some splendid work with the
squad. He puts ginger into the
men and inspires them with his Own
SNAP" and go. The material this
fall is good, and with everything in
running order as it will be in a few
days, the University team will make
things lively. Beginning with a game
at home with the Grand Forks High
team on Sept. 26, the schedule was
continued at Minnesota University on
October 8. Other games sche>ill.ed
for the fall are as follows: II

Enrolment.
The enrolment at the University is
larger this year than eve before. The
total enrolment is now 684. There
are "a law students, 25 in the Col.
lege Of Arts, 1872 in the School Of Ed
ucation, 70 in Engineering, Sc Medics,
and SO in the Model High School.
These numbers will be larger a little
later on, in all probability. There
are now six graduate students at the
University and there may be more
later.
Income Reduced.
AS has become generally known,
the Board Of Equalization has reduc-
ed the income to the state instiut-
tions Of learning which has come
heretofore from the mill tax. This
income has come to the University
and other institutions for fifteen
years without question. Now the
Board of Equalization has seen fit to
deprive the schools Of the money. A
committee of which President McVey
is chairman has in hand the matter
of dealing with the situation and, of
getting asettlement to the Auestion
as to whether this reduction is legal
and proper. The committee is act
ing purely from a business standpoint
and is not moved by any ~ill-feelings
in the matter. This question is sim.
ply one to be determined correctly
and the committee intends to have
the matter brought before proper per.
sons for final adjustment.

OIL SUPPLY.

Within a very short time, according
to oil authorities in this country, Ger
many will be face to face with a most
serious situation, arising from a
shortage of fuel and lubricating oils.
When this time comes-and oil men
believe it to be but a short way Off
it is likely that the remarkable mill
tary operations of the Empire will be
materially curtailed. The motor
trucks, used to transport the great
siege guns; the automobiles in the
service of the officers, even the aero
planes and the Zeppelins, will feel
the shortage, and it is possible, say
persons in this country who are fami-
liar with the oil situation, that all OF
these will have to be abandoned.
Germany's position in regard to in
ternational commerce is her greatest
handicap, now that war has broken
out. Her oil supplies come largely
from Russia and from the Dutch
East Indies. The Russian supply, OF
course, is no longer available, and
the British fleet is preventing any
considerable amount of oil from 60
ing to Germany through Hollands
ports. Even if it were possible for
Germany to draw on the Russian
fields, the supply would be compare
lively small, as the wells in that dis
trict are not being worked up to the
usual standard, because of the large
number of men who have gone to the
front.
Prior to the breaking out of the
war, Germany also drew heavily on
the United States and Mexico. This
supply, too, has been cut off both by
the workings of the neutrality laws
oil being a c%ontraband of war-and by
the force of the British fleet.
Germany has some oil fields in her
own territory, but they are small, and
of little value. Whether they can be
further developed is not known, just
as there is no way Of telling whether
or not new fields may be discovered.
But as far as is known here, there is
nothing to lead to the belief that Ger
many will be able to uncover wells OF
sufficient output within her W 'boun-
daries to meet her own needs.
When the war broke out, the nation
was reasonably we'll supplied with all
kinds of oil. Her normal consump-
ton. as estimated before the start OF
hostilities, was about 100000 bar
rels a year. 1t is believed that some
thing in the n%eighborhood of 100000
barrels were in the country before
the war, and it is known that the
Government seized all gasoline in
storage, as we'll as all lubricating and
wick oils. 1t is regarded as probable
that the military authorities provided
against such a condition as has aris-
en- by storing in secret great quaint
ties of oil for military operations
But, even if this is so, the danger OF
an exhaustion of her supplies, unless
she is able to replenish from the out
side, is very grave.

Indications,
NORTH DAKOTA A PIONEER,

AS early as 1889, when the consrl.
tuition of North Dakota was in the
making, equal suffrage was an issue.
Considerable space is devoted to the
issue in the journal and account of
debates of the constitutional v
ton.
There is in some quarters an er-
roneous impression that the state is
voting on a suffrage amendment to
the constitution this fall. The ques-
ton is being submitted under author
ity of Sec. 1872 of the Constitution,
which reads:
"The legislative assembly. shall be.
empowered to make further extension.
of suffrage hereafter at it's discretion
but no Law extending or restricting
the right Of suffrage shall be in force
until adopted by a majority Of the
electors Of the state voting at 4 gen.
eral election" .
Considerable discussion ragged about
this section and the CONSTITUTE ural
convention was not without it's aC.vo-
Gates and opponents of woman suf-
frage.
John W. SCOTS remarks in the pro-
s of a debate clearly shows that
this state was among the first to give
the issue recognition in its constitu-
ton. He said:
1.-The question is not one that has
been sufficiently thought of by the
public or demanded sufficiently by the
public for us to take this step at this
time. There has been no serious dis.
cussion of the question: has only
been agitated by a few, and so far as
I am personally concerned, I should
be willing to leave it to the women
Of the state themselves, provided
they would get out to vote-to leave
tito them to say whether or not there
should be woman Suffrage
There Is a number of the voters of
the state today who would like a ref
erendum vote of the women on this
Issue.
The chief dispute, however, was
yer whether the adoption Of this sec-
ton Of the constitution did not confer
on the legislature the authority to
enact a law which they had no right
to repeal. On this point Mr.. Scott
continued:
IT don't believe that it is a fair
proposition that we should confer on
the legislature the power to enact a
law that they have no right to repeal,
and that is just what we are doing if
IAO ScCIlOu WulCu VIC CdTIltU ytSIc1
day is adopted. We say that the leg
islature shall be empowered to make
further extensions of suffrage at it's
discretion. If they pass a law of this
sort it is gone beyond their control.
for the words of this section provide
that they shall not restrict suffrage
without a vote Of the people"
r. M. Pollock took the following
view during the general debate:
ION the other hand, if you restrict
the legislature and prevent them from
repeating the law Of their OWL mo.
ton, then they must submit it to a
vote Of the whole people to determine

CLEAR SAILING.

Very few people realize that in less
than thirty days a general election is
to bs held in this state, and II it were
not for Brother Hellstrom and Broth
er Purcell, who are stumping the
state for the democratic party, the
former as the nominee for governor
and the latter as the nominee for
United States senator, we would hard
ly know whether there was a ripple
on the political mili-pond. The fact
of the matter is that very little inter-
est is manifested in this election
which is conceded to be OF the ne
sided type. Gov. Hanna and the en-
tire republican ticket will be elected
by large majorities. The all absorb
ing question, apparently, is the wo-
man suffrage matter, which is OF
more interest to those concerned
than the balance of the people ana
the advocates Of suffrage n the
ants are putting up a determined
fight and are out every day canvass
ing the state for votes. The law
gives the voter three minutes 10 vote
his ticket and this fall he VIII nave
five distinct tickets to vote and If m:
man can vore them in the allot:ec
time, they will have to do some 1ulck
thinking and rapid work with the

MI. Hellstrom, democratic candl-
date for governor is gaining few II
any friends by the method OF cam
paign he is using this year. IN MS
speeches over the state Mr.. Heils-
from devotes most of his time IN an
endeavor to convince the voters tnal
the administration Of Governor a
ma has not been a good business al
ministration and that the state IS IN
Door financial condition and poorly
managed by the present admlnlstra'
ton. Among other things MT: Hell
strom makes a statement to the e.
feet that while Governor Hannas
trip to Norway last summer was a
good advertisement for the state' II
cost the state a great deal OF money
which could have been spent to pet
ter advantage. The fact OF the mat
ter is that the trip of the governor
and his party cost the state not one
red cent and every one who made the
trip to Norway last summer conceaes
that it was one of the best ADVERTISE
ments for the state that has ever
been undertaken by anyone in Nortn
Dakota. The governor paid his
expenses and the expenses OF his fam
ily and every member of the delega-
ton representing North Dakota also
paid his W expenses. The trip cost
Governor Hanna several thousand
dollars which was paid out of mis- own
pocket and he reaps no more beneilt
