CIRCULATING PETITIONS,

UuueI We leduerSIllp VI Iue DlTeCI
Legislation League" an effort will be
made to suspend fourteen laws passed
by the recent legislature.
The campaign is partially aimed at
the board of control and every man
with a grievance has been enlisted in
the army of political itinerants.
Behind the fourteen laws selected,
the cliques disappointed at the last
session can be detected.
The recent candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket, for instance,
is fathering the movement to suspend
all bills providing for the deficiency
appropriation at the penitentiary. He
desires to cripple the Irvine plant and
other industries carried on at the
state prison. AS is well known, Mr..
Hellstrom is in the Irvine business
himself and if he can in any way less
en- the output of that institution, he
will do so.
Farmers who are approached to
sign petitions to cripple the state
prison should first investigate the mo.
tives. In referending measures aimed
to improve the efficiency of any state
institutions, the voters are injuring
themselves, not the administration.
While the circulation of these vari.
GUS petitions may be a movement to
discredit the Hanna regime, the re-
suit. will be directly opposite. The
acts of the Fourteenth legislature
cannot all be charged to Governor,
Hanna. Surely the constituents Of
the members making up the last ses-
sion had some voice and influence in
the enactment of these laws Which
the pettifogging politicians seek to
suspend and probably force, for polit-
ical purposes only, a special session
of the legislature.
The board of regents bill was pass.
ed through both bodies twice without
a dissenting voice. Still a little more
than 5000 signatures can suspend its
action for two years, until the people
have a chance to vote on the propo-
.sition. Everyone knows that the sen.
timent for placing the educational in.
stitutions under the board of regents
is practically unanimous.
The campaign for suspending these
various bills has been skillfully
drawn. First Of all, the Equity soci-
ETY. has been enlisted by placing first
on the list the bill repeating the spe-
cial levy for terminal elevators. This
will be used to interest the farmers
who believe the state should embark
in this folly. .t... ... 1885,.
e Appropriation measures affecting
the insane asylum and other institu-
tons under the board of control not
protected by the special emergency
clause also appear in the list. There
is no need to explain the animus here,
The board of control was twice con.
firmed by the senate, Sc that the duly
elected representatives of the people
placed no %credence in the absurd
charges of the trio from jamestown

of state, is shown in the move to Sis.

SILVER JUBILEE.

North Dakota rejoices in the SUD
cess of the Valley City Normal. This
year marks the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary Of the founding of that school.
1t is but M year younger than state
hood and its vicissitudes have been
linked with those of our splendid com.
monwealth.
The Valley City Normal started in
one room, rented from the city
schools, in October, 1890, and hardly
half a dozen pupils composed its ,eg.
istration. But the school was destin-
ed to grow and furnish teachers to
the enterprising communities Of a
state fast forging into the front ranks
Of the Union. .t .-~
In the second year, the school NOV
ed to new quarters under the princi-
palship of J. w. Sifton, in quarters
now occupied by a bottling works.
Thirty-five students we're enrolled and
the basis laid for future growth.
President George A. Mcfarland as
sumed charge of the institution Au-
gust /, 1892, and much Of the growth
Of the Normal is due to his manage.
ment.
The legislature has dealt generous
ly with the Valley City Normal, but
for the most part excellent use has
been made of the public funds. Re-
cent Investigations into the normal
schools showed that they We're less
open to criticism than some of the
other educational institutions. Prac-
tically a clean bill was given the in
situations at Valley City, Mayville and
Minot. The heads of these institu.
tions sensed the demand for retrench.
ment and other necessary changes.
The wonderful growth of the Valley
City Normal is shown in the increase
of the students from 81 in 1890, to a
total of 1873 in 1918. OF course, the
latter number includes the summer
| school students, but in these figures
one can trace also the rapid growth
of the state.
What the next twenty-five years
will show can be anticipated from the
growth OF the Valley City Normal. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that North
Dakota will exceed the record of the
first twenty-five years of progress,
Our educational institutions have con
tributed to this growth in no small
part. In all the criticism of methods
employed in the educational system
the important part they play in the
development of the state should never
be lost sight of.
Valley City and the state are proud
of the record made by the normal
school which has passed the twenty
fifth milestone of it's career. It ranks
high among the normal schools Of the
nation. May the next twenty-five
! years also be ones Of progress.
