A COMMUNITY BUILDING.

One of the first community build
ings in this country was opened by
the Board of Trade at Washington,
Washington county, Pa, on October
"a. The purpose of the building is to
furnish a general meeting place for
town and country people and to bring
them in closer touch. In the general
meeting room on the first floor are
telephone facilities, magazine and
writing tables, sets of all available
Farmers Bulletins, the Experiment
Station Bulletins of the State, and
blanks upon which application may
be made for those desired by individ-
uals. Another large room on the
first floor is suitable for luncheons,
illustrated lectures, and local corr
shows, apple shows, demonstration
meetings, etc. On the second floor
are two large rest rooms for women.
Those in charge of the enterprise
hope to be able to employ a woman
attendant and provide her with facil-
tiles for caring for small children of
visiting shoppers. The building also
contains offices for the board and the
bureau.
Back of the building is a hitching
ground, with ample space for fifty
teams, with a good brick walk to the
building. Country people can hitch
their teams, leave their wraps, ar
range appointments by telephone,
etc, and then go about their duties
in town.

JUDICIAL BILL
JUST ESCAPES
Re-referred to Committee on Ju
dietary Just in Time.

After a WOrdy war in the Senate, the
las to empower the legislature to
increase or decrease the number of ju-
dicial districts went back to the publ
ciary committee. This is Senator
Bronscu's concurrent resolution pro.
viding ior a constitutional amendment.
Senator Murphy accused a certain
district judge of being interested in
consolidating certain districts so as to
make it possible for him to reside at
a, certain place. Friends and oppon
ents of the Judge whose name was not
mentioned on the floor OF the Senate
Joined in the discussion. Senator
Murphy refused TO make any state
ment for publication.
Those favoring the Bronson resolu-
ton claim that opposition to Judge
KneeshaW who resides at Pembina is
centered upon this resolution. Sena-
tor Bronson declared that the measure
was not proposed in the interest of
any judge or judges but merely to en-
able the Legislature to increase or d.
minish the numbersof judges. :
Senator Murphy sought to vitiate
the bill by striking out the words cor
Judges" This was opposed by Sena-
tor Bronson hut the Senate supported
the amendment so as a final step to
save the bill, its friends got it re-re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Despite the fact that the Senate was
in a hurry to adjourn five measures
were rushed through. They were as
follows: ,.rgI- hi
Senate Bill No. 1O4 relating to notice
of rates of taxation and time for pay
.ment. ..~,
Senate Bill No. 26, extending relief
to special school districts who have
reached the debt limit by validating
outstanding warrants in excess of that
limit.
Senate Bill No. 50, authorizing coun-
ty courts to accept surety bonds for
executors, administrators and guard
ians for one-half the amount required
when personal bonds are furnished,
plus 10 per cent.
House Bill No. 20, relating to the
designating of voting places at general
elections.
The House bill No. SO, giving the
board OF, education of Fargo authority
to issue bonds to provide funds for
school purposes. An election to auth
orize these bonds is required under the
act.
In order to give ample opportunity
for appropriation bills to be introduc.
ed, the Senate Yesterday set Feb. 5 as
the final day for the introduction of
such bills. "

EVIL OF

Former President Taft in a recent
address before the Boston Bar Asso-
citation discussed the evils of Null
tiplicity of Laws He called atten-
ton to the fact that Congress and
state legislatures had passed $4,000
laws in the last four years. One par
agraph from a letter written by the
former president to Mrs. Elizabeth
Hewes Tilton of Cambridge, Mass,
is especially opportune at this time:
"This excess Of legislation I attrib-
uted to two causes. The first was the
erroneous belief that any reform
could be accomplished merely by leg
islation, and the second was that leg
islators were prone to enact laws,
not because they believed their en-
forcement would do any good, or be
cause they had their enforcement in
mind, but because they believed their
votes would profit them politically.
Due to this last cause, whenever a
part of the electorate in a congress
sional district, not a majority, but
supposed to hold the balance of pow
er, threatened to plump their votes
for or against a congressional candi-
date on a particular issue, and with
out regard to their usual party aftili-
alton, they were able to brighten leg
islators into the legislation which
they, as a minority group, demanded.
In this wise the amendment for ma
tional prohibition secured a majority
of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives. Many members voted
for it who were not really in favor of
it, nor did a majority of their con-
]stituents demand it. Such members
voted for it merely to secure the ap>
prevail and support Of a comparative
ly small element in the electorate
whose votes they feared might de-
feat them if they voted their own
convictions"
Those who are familiar at all with
the workings of legislative bodies
know that Mr.. Taft is right. Law
makers often play to the galleries,
having their own personal political
fortunes more at heart than the well
fare of the state.
Recently when a motion for ad-
journment was up before the House
of the North Dakota Legislature, e
eral members made speeches de.
%nouncing a weeks adjournment as en-
travagance. Their deep tones Of tidel.
ity to duty sounded throughout the
chamber, but several who were loud
est against adjournment on Saturday
voted on Monday to take a weeks
lay-off. 1t is such sudden change Of
front that puts a touch of ilsincerity
to the work of otherwise valuable
public servants. The day has gone
for the special plea to the gallery.
