Paris, France.-Who-is to pay for
all this war dancing?
The bill is to be stUpendous; that
is certain. So far the military opera
lions, ashore and afIoat, have cost
about $4,000, 100000. If we are to
go into the value of property de-
strOyed the total might be doubled or
more. But take only the bills for
the operations of war.
Who is to foot them?
We have every reason to believe
that the war will OUtlast the present
year. If it does worse than that, no
imagination can compass the results.
But say it lasts until Jan. next.
The total military bill then will be
$2O,OOO,OOO,OOO; which is almost as
much as the total of the national
debts of all the beIigerent nations
when the war began.
Great dancingi But how is the fid-
dIer to be paid?
Begin with Great Britain. When
the war broke, the British national
debt was $3,6OO,OOO,OOO. After eight
months of war the national debt was
nearly $6,OOO,OOO,OOO By June it was
nearly $7OOO,OOO,OOO.
Suppose the war to last another
eight months and the national debt
will have increased nearly three fold.
On Aug. 1, 1914, it was $780,
100000. On April 1, 1915, it was
$5,9OO,OOO,OOO. On Oct. 1, 1915, it
will be $8,5OO,OOO,OOO. On Jan. 1,
1916, it will be $40, 900, 900.
On Aug. 1, 1914, it was $3.50 for
each head of population in the united
kingdom. It is now $13O88. On Oct.
1 it will be S189.O2. On Jan. 1, 1916,
it will be $222.22.
The interest charges on this debt
will be about S32O,OOO,OOO a year.

NO REGENT
MEETING
IN APRIL
ATTORNEY GENERAL L1NDE
SAYS BOARD CANNOT LIZ.
GALLY ORGANIZE UNTIL
JULY FIRST.
CONTRADICTORY PARAGRAPHS
One Section Says Members Quail
fy July l, Other Provides
for April Meeting.
PARAGRAPHS

Although it is provided in the board
of regents bill which passed both
houses of the last legislative assem-
bly, and was duly approved by the gov.
ernor that the members of the board
shall meet in this city on Tuesday OF
next week to organize and select
secretary, the attorney general holds
that the board is prohibited from or
ganizing or employing any person for
any purpose prior to July j, ,<next.
What Bill Provides.
The board of regents measure,
which is commonly known as H. B
361, provides that:
''The members of the board first SO
appointed shall meet at the seat Of
government on the first Tuesday in
April. 1915, and shall organize and
elect one Of their members as presi.
dent of such board for term of one
year. They shall also elect a cOmpe,;
tent man as secretary who shall re-
ceive not to exceed $2,500.00 per an
mum, and who shall reside during his
term of Office in the City of Bis.
marck."
Linde's Opinion.
The attorney general in letter to
the governor yesterday afternoon de-
cided that this section of the bill was
contradictory to that, part which pro
vides that the board of regents shall
qualify on July l, next
Mr.. Linde's letter reads as follows
ttTNL :S INT rs
kind favor of March .29th, 1916, ask
ing whether or not the Board of Re-
gents provided for in House Bill No.
361 may meet in April and employ
person to do survey work while the
schools are still in session.
II concur in your view of the mat
ter as expressed in your letter, and
will say that do not believe under
the law that the board can meet in
April or employ any person for amp
purpose, for the following reasons:
because the act in question can
not possibly go into effect until ninety
days after the adjournment of the
legislature, for the reason that the
same does not carry the emergency
clause provided by Section 25 of our
Constitution, and for the addltlonal
reason that the act expressly provides
in Section 2 thereof that the terms of
all the members of such board shall
not commence until the 1st day Of
July. 1915.
1T would therefore apear that, as
the terms of the members could not
commence until such time, that no
s,o~ohor oon11 qualify pri0r tO the ct
day of July, 1915. The Board would
therefore be prohibited from organic
ing or employing any person for amp
purpose"
