THE COMMON

Preliminary discussion among the
appropriation committees of the
house and senate clearly indicate that
in many counties the valuation OF
property must be raised in order to
yield sufficient income to are for
strictly local needs.
One complaint that comes most
generally from all sections, is the in
ability of school districts to meet in
many instances their obligations and
in others absolute inability to build
school houses to care for the fast
growing communities. ,
In many school districts, the debt
limit has been reached and unless
the property valuation is Increased,
progress in common schools must
halt. It is time for the state to turn
it's attention to the common school
situation. Their condition now is
much more pressing than that which
confronts the higher schools.

PREVENT fires
At CARR|NGI0N

Darlington, N. D., Jan. 15.-H. !.
Reade of Bismarck, chief assistant
state fire marshal, visited Darlington
Tuesday, and met that evening with
the members of the fire company in
a special meeting.
C~areIessness Is Cited.
Mr.. Reade was here in the interest
of fire prevention, and the entire ev.
ening was given over to the discus.
sion Of not how to put out fires, but
how to prevent their starting. Over 80
per cent of the fires are wholly pre-.
veltable. The. method urged by Mr..
Reade was thorough and frequent in.
spection of every building in the city,
and a proper cooperation on the
part Of the property owners with the
inspectors to see that the recon,
mendations of the latter are fully aid
promptly complied with. Mr.. 'Reade
gave the fremen many good pointers
and is out to give the local depart
ments the valuable pointers that are
gathered by the state fire marshal
and his assistants. s.

TO REDUCE OIL
INSPECTION FEE
Bill Will Be Introduced to Just
Cover Cost of Inspection
in Charge.

A bill reducing the oil inspection
fees in this state from % cents to 7R
cents per barrel will probably be in.
troduced in either the house or the
senate today. +
Such a bill, it is understood, will
meet with the approval of both the
state officials and the oil people.
J! NJ. Bartels, president of the Bar
tells Oil company of Grand Forks, and
Attorney F. Feetham, We're here yes
terday in the interests Of the oil COM
panies and yesterday afternoon held
a conference with Governor Hanna,
Professor Ladd of the agricultural
college, Professor Abbot of the state
university, and State Oil Inspector
Jackman regarding the proposed bill.
All of the material points were gone
over and a satisfactory understanding
was arrived at, it is understood. Pro-
fessor Ladd and Professor Abbott, be-
ing the heads of the departments OF
chemistry at the state university and
agricultural college, are really the en-
forcing officers of this law.
The reduction of the inspection fees
from 25 cents per barrel to ~ cents
per barrel will bring the fee down to
a point where it will just about cover
the cost of inspection.

SETTLERS e


Bismarck should get behind the i'm
migration movement and support the
two meetings scheduled for this
month. Now is the time to interest
the legislature in this subject. Some
feasible plan should be adopted to
direct the movement of settlers to-
ward the vacant lands in this state.
Following the war and probably
long before hostilities are concluded,
immigration will be stimulated and
North Dakota should not lag behind
in preparatory plans to care for those
seeking refuge.
The commercial clubs of the state,
acting in conjunction with the state
department of immigration, should be
able to accomplish much. A general
publicity campaign is the. right step,
but constructive work along other
lines must be done.
The two meetings scheduled for
Bismarck on January 20 and %
should evolve some workable plan.

cURBSTONE

George M. Reynolds of Chicago
gives this tribute to the men on the
street corners:
The men who have stood on the
street corners for the last twenty-five
years and criticized capital and those
who control capital, are probably the
only class of people who have not to
some extent shared in the wonderful
prosperity which has been enjoyed in
the United States during the last
quarter of a century. These criti.
cisms have had more or less weight
with people who have been easily in.
fuenced. They have unwittingly been
made the side-partners of the dema.
gogue and designing politician, who
have tried to prosper through ap-
peals to prejudice. After the fruit
lessness of legislation of this kind
has been proved, there is always a
wave of restored reason, and the mis-
guided find that the old-fashioned nat
ural law that makes earnest effort
necessary to advancement still holds
good. This is the redeemilg feature.

GAME, STOCK AND CITIZENS.

The epidemic of foot and mouth dis.
ease and it's effect on the packing
industry and the stock yards of Chi
cago have been commented on widely
in the daily press from various points
of view. One of the most illuminat-
ing comments appears in a recent is
sue of the Chicago Journal under the
heading, Live Stock Versus Quail"
Taking the best available estimates
of the amount of live stock c%ontoined
in the state and figuring on an aver
age value of horses at $140 a head,
milk cows at $65, other COWS at $50,
swine at SIS, sheep at Sc and mules
at $3.50 minimum valuations, as
most will admit, the Journal says
the total value of live stock in ILL
nois would be $435,276 900, for the
protection of which the state legisla-
ture appropriated for the current year
a total Of $97,340. By way of compar-
ison, the Journal quotes the appropri-
alton for the protection of fish and
game for the same time, which
amounts to $151,600. The Journal
properly characterizes such a situa-
tion as "intolerable." 1t says, "To
spend four times as much money pro-
tecting quail, ducks and prairie chick
n as We spend in caring for one
of the basic industries Of the state is
sheer communal lunacy." This is
true. The farmers and business men
of Illinois should see to it that every
cent that is necessary to protect the
live stock of the state is provided,
no matter what economies may be
necessary in other directions. But,
asks The Journal of the American
Medical Association, if such appro.
priations are justified for the protec.
ton of the lives and health of ami
mails how much should be appropriat.
ed to protect the lives and health of
the men, women and children of the
state? Certainly more than for fish
game and live stock. Yet the appro'
priation for the protection of the
5,63S,291 men, women and children in
the state was for 1914 only $12O, 900
$4,000 less than was appropriated
for the protection of fish and game
Are the lives of it's citizens of less
value to Illinois than the preservation
of its quail and bass?

How Distressing,

P L
How the get-luseUler movement
among Republicans distresses the OPP
posttton is disclosed by the wailing
of our amiable Democratic contem-
Vorary, whose solicftude Is really pa
theric. says rne Cscxna Bee. IT goes
without saying that there can be no
getting together unless Republicans
OF all factions ana shades unite re-
gardless OF past differences for 2
forward march against the political
enemy. But this very union Is what
the Democrats see spelling defeat for
them. It Is their political strategy
u possible. to keep the progressives
and the regulars apart by tanning
fears and playing upon ambitions.
The disintegratioh Of the Progress
live party as q separate party or
Ganization has made IL pain that
the reunion must come behind the
Republican standard, and that is
what the Democrats are really afraid
Of. II 1t were the other way. and
y were the regulars who were to
be brought back on the reservation,
they would be the ones to have the
tender consideration OF the Demo
Gratis.
The probabilities are, however. that
our Democratic friends will have all
they can do for the next campaign
to keep the discordant wings Of their
own party working in unison, with
ilittle tett to dispense Establishments
to any brand Of Republicans.
