THE SHORT BALLOT
Philadelphia Times.)

Elihu Root shook up the dry
bones Of the political fossils at
Albany by a demand for a ballot
50 short that it would contain the
names only of the candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Govern
or. Realizing that this was a
council of perfection, he was will
ing to add the names of the cant
didates for Attorney General and |
Controller.
The people elect the Governor
and his heir and the members Of
the legislature. With this they
would have a government of the
people and by the people and for
the people. The responsibility
of the State administration would
be clearly located If the ac-
ton of the government were not
satisfactory it would be reason
ably easy to fix the responsibility.
. he voters would know pretty
we'll whom they were electing. The
campaign would familiarize them
with the candidates for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor and the
former is rarely and obscurity.
They might easily inform them
selves regarding their candidates
for both branches of the Legisla-
ture. These would be residents
of their own vicinity, and they
could find out something about
them.
But where the people are to el-
cct a whole board of State officers
they are likely to know little
about any of them. Every State
officer, elected exactly as the Gov
ernor is, is entirely independeri
of the Governor, he is an indie
pendent factor of The state gov
eminent. He has his own patron
age and his own policies, and they
arc not always The policies of the
other State officials. Response
bllity is divided, and the conven-
lions afford opportunities for OBJ
securities to get nominated to Of
fees to which no Governor would
he likely to appoint them. Com
mon action by the State govern
ment is rendered extremely UNI
likely.
Mr.. Root told the convention
that for 40 years the government
OF the State of New York had beer
about as representative as tina
of Venezula. He warned the
convention that if they did no
give the people a better system OF
government than it has had tn,
people would not be long in in
sisting that the work be done over
The government he propose,
would be chosen very much a,

istratiOn is one thing, the people
have to inform themselves abou

The multiplication of electiv,
officers and the farming out o
governmental functions to com
missions make impracticable de
mands upon the intelligence o
the average voter and defy effort
to locate responsibility. Mr.
Root has made an appeal for Tn,
short ballot in order that the vot
ers may know what they are doing
and afterward may know wha
they have done, which is likely {,
be heard outside the State of New
York.

to promote this important phase Of
our agricultural industry; it is held
annually during the Grain Growers
Convention and in years gone by been
limited on account of lack Of space.
With the building and completion Of
the new auditorium, the Fargo Com
mcrcial Cub finds itself in position
to materially strengthen and enlarge
this show, which has always looked
for its financial and moral support to
this club. The 1916 corn show is in
charge of committee we'll qualified
to make it q success and evidence Of
the carnestncss Of their intentions is
found in the fact that premium list
of over $1,000 in cash prizes is being
prepared, supplemented by many in
dividual silver cup premiums.
In this competition the state is di-
vidcd into four sections: Tire north
eastern section comprising tine coun-
ties of Pembina, Cavalier, Towner,
Walsh, Ramsey, Benson, Grand Forks.

counties Of Trail, Steele, Griggs.
Cass, Barnes, Stutsman, Richland,
Ransom, Sargent, LaMourc and
Dickey; the northwestern section
comprising the counties of Bottncau.
Divide, Williams, Ward, Rcnvillc,
Burke, Mountrail, McHcnry, Pierce.

Dunn and Mckenzie; the southwest
crn section comprising the counties OF
kiddcr, Burlcigh, Logan, Mcintosh,
Emmons, Morton, Stark, Hettinger,
Adams, Billings, Golden Valley and
Bowman.
Substantial prizes are offered for
the best exhibits entered in each class
and for the best ten ears and single
ear in each section. On this basis Of
competition, each section will COM
pete by itself and the contestants
have an excellent opportunity to draw
one OF the very liberal prizes offered.
In addition, contest is scheduled for
the best county exhibit in each sex
ton. Prizes are offered Of $75, $50,
and S25 each, thus giving twelve
counties in the state an opportunity

RUMMAGE SALE
BECOMING SCANDAL

Bismarck, April 21.-Portions of
the metallic figurehead Of the United
States battleship North Dakota,
loaned to the state for display pur-
poses, are missing and it is said to
have been sold as scrap iron for seven
cents pound.
About 1000 pounds of the figure
head are reported to have been dis
posed of in this manner, leaving about
1000 pounds still in possession of the
state.
The figurehcad was brought to the
state through the efforts of Governor
Hanna, the government making the
loan for exhibition purposes only. The
greatest portion of the fgurehead
still remains on display at the state
capitol grounds-but about third of
it is missing and it is charged that it
has been scrapped and sold.
Interesting figures on recent rum
mage sac conducted by the state also
have come to light within the last few
days, as result of declarations, pub
lished locally, that many valuable ar
ticles were sod at ridiculously low
prices.
The statement of the sale shows the
state officers and their employees were
the principal purchasers, and items
listed are rather interesting. Three
desks were sold for SO cents each,
leather couches sold all the way from
So to $23 each, carpets, of various
sizes, sold at from 81 to $13. Revo'v-
ing bookcases sold at from $3.50 each
to SIS each.
The total amount realized by the
sale was. 1924, while the cost of ad-
vertising was $3.50.
