SUPREME COURT TO PASS
ON REFERENDUM SIGNATURES

Bismarck. June 18.-Final figures
on referendums have been made in
the Office of Secretary Of State Thomas
Hall. The petition with reference to
Senate Bill No. 1914 which would ap'
propriate 100000 for the promotion OF
immigration and advertising the re-
sources of the state has 8,272 signers
which is more than enough as only
1928 are required to hold up the op-
Grafton of the bill until it has been
voted upon by the peole of the state at
the general election in November, 1916.
McHenry county furnished the
largest number of signers to this
petition coming across with $50. Trail
county was second with 553 and Bot
tineau close third with 544.
House Bill No. III also has plenty
of signers and the official total will
be turned, in at 1886. This bill would
throw still more restrictions about the
sale of intoxicating liquor in the state
and would give way to get at some
dealers who are now able to escape
punishment under certain conditions.
Morton county was first in point of
numbers signing, they contributing
1858 while Grand Forks county came
to the front with the second largest
number, 652.
It is probable that the State Law
Enforcement league will take some
steps towards testing the sufficiency
of the petition with regard to H. B.
No. III and also as to the validity OF
the signatures and whatever decision
is rendered on that will apply with
equal force to the other bills. in fact
it is stated in this city that before the
final decision is given the supreme
court will be asked to pass upon each
signature.
The only other bill that has enough
signers is the one repeating the
terminal elevator mill tax.
