to find work and wages in the long

good many people will think so.
A great many people believe that
the government of this country

done if our doors are to remain open

migrants. 1t cannot be done unless
We realize the exact relation between
excessive immigration and unemploy-

immigration, for the sake of the
immigrant, as well as for the benefit
of the nation at large, must be made
to fit our capacity to provide work
and wages. Distribution, however
ideal in theoly or excellent in prac.
tice, will not do that.

DOWN TO BRASS TACkS.

How the pruning knife can be ap
piled to the institutional budgets al
ready is being indicated by the join,
committee acting under the Lathrop
resolution. The committee is going
about its duty in a systematic way
and doubtless will be able to indicate
to the Legislature how economy can
be practiced without impairiag the
efficiency of the institutions.
Care should be taken, however, in
not trying to lop off too much Sc as
to prejudice the entire program of
proposed economy. If the committee
succeeds in reducing the educational
budgets some 5000 900, it will have
accomplished enough.
If there are glaring extravagalces
in other departments. the committee
is within its rights to trim the frills.
The members of the committee are
doing good work and the spirit with
which they have approached their diff
ticult task is facilitating matters
greatly.

1T must be remembered that since

INSPECTOR
BILL IS COMING
Would Create Sixteen More State
officers; Killed at the Last
Session.

The liquor inspector bill, which
caused a lot of discussion in the leg
islature during the last session, will
come up again in the present session
and is likely to cause some lore no,
debate on the floor of the house,
where it is expected that it will be
introduced next week.
This bill provides for the creation
of the office of liquor inspector, who
is to draw a salary of $4,000 per year
and have an office in the capitol, and
under him are to be Is deputies at
a salary of $1,000 per year each. The
bill was brought up in the house two
years ago by Representatives Buck
and WARDROBE and was killed in the
committee of the whole after a hos
debate. s
There was a good deal of OPPOSE
ton to the bill because it provided for
16 more state officers and it was felt
by those opposing the bill that there
were already enough offices in the
state.

again this session, as will the enforce.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.

Goodrich, n. D., Jan. 2S.-Justice
Bennetto issued a warrant for the ar
rest Of George Rafferty,, jr., Sam Will
and Sam Vietz, who were charged
with taking three fur robes from the
Knepper Bros. livery barn in Good
rich.
Marshall John Walch took the &C.
cused into custody at Mike IHintz
farm south Of Denhoff and found two
of the missing robes in their posses
sion. The young, men were taken to
Goodrich and spent the night at the
Fremont hotel. In the morning they
retained Attorney O. P. 'Jordal to de-
fend them. On his motion States
Attorney Winter instructed Judge
Bennetto that he would have to make
out a. new set OF warrants, as no COM
plant had been signed before issuing
the first warrant. In the meantime
the three lei took a walk into the
country and after hiring a team and
sled from Mike Beierle. drove home.
Marshal Walch was not sure of his
legal right to go out and bring the
alleged thieves into town, so Deputy
Sheriff A. A. Hendricks drove out and
tried to locate the "runaways." He
succeeded in finding one, young Vietz,
who is thought to be merely the VIC
Jim of bad company.
! In the meantime warrants are out
for the apprehension of Rafferty, and
Will and they will no doubt be given
"a chance to prove their innocence.

PORK Barrel"
Thing OF PAST
Rep. Henry 0'Keefe, Jr., Say
No Appropriations Made on
. That Plan.

Grand Forks, N. D., jan. 28.-Sen
ator H. A. Bronson and Representa-
tive Henry O'Keefe, Jr, arrived in
Grand Forks this morning, following
the adjournment of the state legisla-
ture, which was taken at noon Tues
day.
Mr.. O'Keefe, who is a member OF
both the educational and appropria.
tions committees of the house, stated
that he was entirely satisfied with
the present outlook.
"The general sentiment among the
legislators" said Mr.. O'Keefe, lis that
every educational institution shall be
given a sufficient appropriation for
it's needs and no more. .
There is a general feeling that the
affairs of the state must be conduct
ed as economically a. possible, but it
is recognized that the educational in
stitutions all need various sums Of
money, and these needs will be pro-
vided for according to the ability of
the state. !
sectional jealousy seems to have
been forgotten and the appropriations
will be made, not on the pork barrel
principle, but in the tanner which
seems to be for the best interests OF
the state as a whole"
Mr.. O'Keefe will remain in this city
for the next week or SO, and has re.
opened his law office in the Clifford
during that period.

San Domingo is too small to care
for all the deserving Democrats"
A T T

Federal reserve agents in their
haste to justify the new banking law
are jumping at conclusions. Nothing
has transpired since the operation of
the act to demonstrate it's indispensa-
bility. The fiji st report is general
rather than specific in terms. 1t de-
clares empirically that the expert
mental stage has passed, but at the
same time admits that much must be
done before the system is the CON-
mercial stabilizer it's friends guaran-
teed.
Five months is too short a period
in which to test any system, much
less a financial one at a time like the
present. Those interested naturally
are anxious to secure the unqualified
endorsement of the bankers. and the
business world generally, but final
judgment is being reserved by the
thoughtful financiers.
John H. Rich, federal reserve agent,
in a. recent address has set forth the
theory upon which the system is
working, but he frankly admits that
many of its important functions are
still to be defined by the interpreted
tons and instructions Of the Federal
Reserve Board"
Perhaps it is the misfortune of the
system that it's inaugural came at a
time when there was a contraction
rather than an expansion of credit.
Another reason doubtless that the
system has not made "the splash an
ticipated is the number of banks Gre
ated and the political considerations
involved in their location.
That it is premature to draw con
clusions as to the adaptability of the
system is inferred, if not emphasized,
in the following statement of Mr..
Rich:
"The period since the opening of
the Ninth regional bank is 50 short
that it is not possible at this time
to define the scope or nature of it's
activities along several important
lines"
