COMMISSION FORM
OF GOVERNMENT
NOT WANTED
Jamestown Voters Decline to
Change the PfeesseentSystem.

The vote Monday on the PROPOSE
ton to change the form of city gov
ernmeut to the commission system
showed that the people of jamestown
want none of it. The question was
thoroughly discussed in it's main
bearings and arguments both for and
against were presented. Much SEN
timent was against the proposition
from the very start, chiefly on the
grounds that it would entail more
expense for running the city with no
guaranty of better results and with
the possibility of much more unsatis-
factory conditions.
The commission form of govern
ment is in theory. all right, but the
present state law will have to be
amended before it can find much sup
port amongst intelligent, thinking
people in a town of this size. Safety
in numbers prevails in the alder
manic system over the commission
form where the power could be easily
centralized in a few hands.
The Vote.
The city council held special
meeting Monday and canvassed the
vote on the question. The figures
show that the proposition was de-
feated exactly 6 to l., the vote being
384 against the proposition to 64 in
favor of it. The total vote for the
proposition was less than the small
est vote in any ward against it. Sell
dom has there been such decided
expression on any public question,
brought for the consideration of
jamestown voters. The election fig
ures are:

NO BILLS YET VETOED
BY GOVERNOR
Some Important Measures Have
Been Approved.

Hanna has not as yet placed his veto
upon any measure that was passed by
the fourteenth legislative assembly,
but he had during the last twenty
four hours signed seventeen house
bills and nineteen measures that orig
mated in the senate.
Following are the house bills
signed: Numbers 165, 236, 337, $50,
400, 425, 426, 458, 466, 467, 472,
331, 179, S21, 492, 32s, 106, 33 and
80.
The senate bills signed are. Num-
bers 12, As, Ga, SO, 1852, 1877, 1856,
1863, 176, 1874, 1877, 1913, 1874, 226,
1876.
Among the more important of the
bills mentioned above is House Bill
No. 80, which is the one abolishing
capital punishment in the state.
House Bill No. 80 is the constitu-
tional amendment providing that
there shall be a four-fifths decision Of
the supreme court when deciding
upon the constitutionality of legisla-
tive enactments.
House Bill 492 is the bill which
provides for the repeal of the ter
minal elevator mill tax and provides
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
railroad commission to continue the
investigation of the feasibility of the
construction and operation of state
owned terminal elevator in North
Dakota, Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Senate Bill ~ is a constitutional
amendment and provides that the
legislature may, if the amendment
is adopted by the people, select a To-
cation for an additional insane asy-
lum. This bill was introduced two
years ago, but on account of the fact
that an effort was made to locate it
at the same time it failed of passage.
This amendment leaves 1t up to some
future legislature to name the site.
!, Senate Bill 81 also received the
signature of the governor and that is
the bond bill providing for the re-
moval of officers by the governor.
1T provides some amendments to the
present law, one of which allows the
commissioner appointed by the gov
ernor some power as to what sort
of evidence shall be admitted.
Senate Bill 48 is the oil inspection
bill, which provides for an inspection
fee of five cents per barrel in place
of the 25-cent fee which was recently
declared unconstitutional by the su-
Ipreme court.
Senate Bill 1914 is the immigration
bill which passed the house on the
last day of the session. 1t carries an
appropriation of 100000 for the
next two years and will be put into
operation on July I, 1915. Great
results are expected from the passage
of this law.
There are no indications as yet OF
any vetoes coming, although there
is one measure about the same as
the one that Governor Hanna vetoed
last session and there is some Ques-
ton as to whether the present bill
lis so drawn that it gets away from
the objections the governor had at
that time.
