TEACHER WANTS
MAIDEN NAME

Judge Chester, OF the circuit
court. is considering whether or not
he can restore a maiden name to a
divorced mother, so that she might
be eligible to obtain n position as
teacher in the Detroit public
schools.
The court granted decree OF di-
vorce. Thursday afternoon, to Mrs
Anna Ortberg. but when Mrs. Ort-
berg asked that her maiden name,
Anna Levitsn, be given to her.
Judge Chester demurred, because OF
the fact that Mrs. Ortberg has a
child. The woman explained that
she could not get a position in De-
troit schools, so long as there was
Mrs" before her name. Judge
Chester took the matter under con.
sideration.
Divorces were also granted Thurs

CONSOLIDATED O

North Dakota figures in a special
report on the consolidation of rural
schools issued by the federal depart
ment of education. This state, for
one of the young cow1mon~ eaiths,
show progress that compares we'll
with that of many older states and
surpasses in some instances some OF
the states mentioned.
Touching our progress the report
says:
1.-THE movement for consolidation
began in 1904, the first consolidated
schools being established t1at year
In 1914 there were FL legally col
%solidated schools in the state, 10 OF
which were located in villages and 1O1
in the open country. In addition
there r 6S9 schools, each serving a
large territory with pupils living
more than two and one.half miles

Those who expect the state to

the taxpayers money are doomed to
disappointment. The level headed

almost a unit against the pl OPPOSITION
despite the enthusiastic statements
made by interested parties at Fargo.
The state is without the funds to

Laying all other arguments aside,
this is potent enough even for the
adherents of the plan. Hot air won't

HOUSE TURNS
DOWN RECESS
Treadwell TwIchell Says He Is
in the House for the Last
. Time

The house turned down the Lind
strom concurrent resolution providing
for a recess from Tuesday, January
IS, to Tuesday, February 2, yesterday
afternoon, but before the vote was
taken a spirited argument was work
ed up. The senate passed the resolu'
ton but as the house failed to pass it
there is no provision for a recess as
yet.
Mr.. Bratton inquired if there were
any particular reason why the re-
cess should not ba taken and he
brought down upon his head the
wrath of Treadwell Twichell.
Will TwichelI Come Back?
Mr.. Twichell, started in by saying
that I'VE are drawing S. a day from
the state for staying here, that's one
reaso1 why we shouldn't take this re-
cess" He continued by saying that
this legislature had the most exhaus-
tive and the best program that he
had ever seen in any legislative body
of this state. you've STARTED fine
he said, and ne, urged the members OF
the house to make a record. for this
session. "As a member of this body,
expecting never to be here again, !
hope that I can think back as being a
member of the sanest and best legisla-
tive body this state has ever known
he said and closed his talk by stating
that the states right to the services of
the legislators at this time was the
paramount right.
Mr.. Burnett offered an amendment
to shorten the proposed recess by
making it from Thursday, January ~.
until the following Tuesday but the
house refused to consider the amand-
ment. When the question was put as
to the original motion to concur in
the resolution, it, too, was lost by q
slight margin.

STATE BONDING DEPARTMENT..

Although it seems inevitable that
the state is to engage in the bonding
business, this should not blind the
house members to the im%perfections
of the bill which passed the senate
yesterday with a few slight amend.
ments. .
The act creates a deputy at $1,000 a
year and a st%enographer at SIS a
month. Officers bonded under this act
are: county, city, town, village, town.
ship and school officials.
1t is The Tribune's opinion that
the measure fails to safeguard the
state as is now done under the private
bonding system. Political c~onsidera-
tons are bound to enter into the
various transactions. The state is de-
void Of an adequate checking bureau
to keep tab upon officials bonded. One
OF the strongest elements of the pres
ent system is the close contact these
companies maintain with bonded Of

for the above purpose, begs leave to
report that we have interviewed Mr.
Dum.ner, representative of the Journal
Printing company, which company has
the contract for printing and binding
the several reports of the various de.
partments, and that he advises them
that the only reports that have not
been printed and delivered, are those
of the State Game and Fish Board of
Conrol, the State University and the
State Engineer; that the State Game
and Fish Board of Control have never
submitted to them, any report for
printing: that the last plates for the
report Of the State Engineer were de
livered to them on Tuesday of this
week; that the report of the STATE
University is now set up and will be
delivered shortly.
"Mr. Dummer admits that the reas
on for the delay in the delivery of tbs
report Of the State University and of
the report of the State Commissioner
Of Agriculture, was occasioned by the
fact of their having more work than
they could turn out in the time given

A BET,

The Commercial West in it's latest
issue gives the following hint to
North Dakota:
THE Equity exchange, in announc-
ing a plan for a terminal elevator,
states that the farmers of the North
west will be allowed to take stock and
that the North Dakota legislature will
be asked to advance 100000 and in
crease it's debt to that amount to help
finance the project.
Evidently the jobbers and bankers
Of the Twin Cities have overlooked
something in building their own ex-
pensive buildings. They should have
asked the farmers and the state legis.
lature to furnish the money, instead
of financing these buildings them
selves. The only drawback to this
Equity scheme is that the legislatures
and farmers may not come across with
the cash; in fact, they may turn it
down completely and fade away.
"The whole scheme is too absurd
for serious consideration, but only
goes to show the brazen %effontry of
those who have the gall to ask North
Dakota legislators to help finance a
private enterprise.
"The province Of Manitoba, a next
door neighbor of North Dakota, tried
cut a scheme of state-owned country
elevator houses only a few years ago.
After years of losses Manitoba sold
these elevators and decided that mar
keting of grain was too complex a
business for a state or province, yet
country elevators are simple affairs
compared to terminals.
"The report of the North Dakota
board of control just published advis.
ing strongly against any plan of state
owned or operated terminal elevators
should be most conclusive. This report
is the result of two years study Of
this question and it states that there
is no sound, practical plain of state
owned elevators whereby the farmers
could obtain higher prices for their
grain. North Dakota should heed
! such wise counsel and make the old
slogan Let George do it. apply here"
While much of the Commercial
Vests editorial is an unsolicited at.
tack upon the Equity organization, it's
conclusions are sound. The Tribune
has been a consistent booster of CO.
operation among the farmers to Sc
cure better market conditions. It can.
not, however, follow all the vagaries
of the leaders of this movement.
The state must not finance the far
mer any more than any other business
enterprise. Terminal elevators con.
trolled by the farmers in Minnesota
or Wisconsin might cure existing evils
but for the state to embark in such
an endeavor would be a criminal
waste of public funds.
