PREPARATIONS
MADE ON BASIS
OF SQUARE DEAL
ABSENCE OF POLITICS IN DETER
MINING STATE AWARDS OF
MONEY is RELIEF.

Bismarck, N. D. Feb. 23.-Approp
riations made without the objection Of
politics, admittedly ideal but hereto
fore never accomplished in North Da-
kota, are likely to be attained during
this session of the legislature through
the work Of the Lathrep finance COM
mittee.
Every appropriation that has been
suggested by the Lathrop committee
has received the approval Of the joint
appropriations committees of the two
houses, and so far there has been no
indication of any desire to overturn
on the floor, the committees work.
At no stage of the game has there
been any political work. The needs of
the institutions, departments, etc.,
have been considered upon their mer-
it's, and the allowance of this or that
item has not been dependent upon the
"pull' that the delegation from the
particular county in which the insti-
tuition or department might chance to
be located might enjoy.
It is the first time in the history of
the state that appropriations have
been doled out in that manner.
1 Used as Powerful Club.
Heretofore, the craftsmanship of the
appropriations committees has been a
something to seek as means of gain
ing political prestige. Used for that
purpose, it has been a powerful club
in driving into line such delegations
as may come from counties possessed
Of institutions which had to be cared
for-and for which the delegations
were held responsible to large ex-
tent.
! Under that scheme of doing things
the appropriation Craftsmanship has
j been powerful factor in determining
legislation
This year the old scheme of things
has been done away with The chair.
manship has not been used either by
Senator Kretchmar, or by Representa-.
tive Treadwell Twichell, as a club il
the matter Of shaping legislation.
The change is one that has gone {
long way toward de-localizing thu
concern Of the legislatures in the sue
cessof the various institutions.
i Delegates from the institution count
les have not been compelled to feal
consequences, so far as their institu
tions were concerned, because of an!
stand they may have felt called upol
to take.
Appropriations Will Garry.
There doesn't seem to be the slight
est disposition on the part of anybod,
to oppose the list of appropriations a
agreed upon by the joint appropria
tions committee.
The absence of appropriations 70
building operations has held each o
the educational institutions to a basi
Of actual need, and the building wor
at the penal and charitable institu
tions has likewise been maintained q
a point Of actual need, so that non
have complaint to offer.

poftance were taken up and discussed.
The matter of more conventions for
the city was one Of the important

German Ambassador Wires to

cation From imperial Govern
ment Asking Suspended Action
TENSION AT CAPITAL
RELIEVED BY COMMUNICATION
Germany, in Note, Expresses SOr
row That Americans Should
Have Lost Their Lives; Also
lnferS England May Be Wrong

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a - Count
Won Bernstorf. the German ambassa-
dor. communicated to the state De-
partment instructions from his gov
ernment, expressing the regret of his
government that Americans lost their
lives and asking the United States to
delay taking definite steps until Ger
many has had the official report Of
the submarine commander
There is evident relaxation of ten
sion which has been brewing as the
days passed with no indication of a
desire on Germanys part to disclaim
the intention OF committing an act
deliberately unfriendly." No attempt
will be made either by the state De
partment OF the White House to inter
pret the ambas ador's communication.
Officials here merely say that of
course the American government
would await Germanys explanation Of
the submarine commander I'm sinking
the liner. Won Bernstorm telegraphed
the State Department from New York
the text of his instructions from Ber-
lin. It follows:
$50 far no official information is
available concerning the sinking of
the Arabic. The German government
trusts that the American government
will not take a definite stand at hear
ms only the reports of one siGe. which
i'm the opinion of the Imperial Govern
ment cannot correspond with the
facts, but that "a chance would be CIV
en- Germany to be heard equally Al
though the Imperial Government
does not doubt the good faith of the
witnesses whose statements are re-
ported by the newspapers of Europe,
il should be borne I'm mind that these
statements were naturally made un-
der the excitement which might easily
produce the wrong impressions. II
the Americans should have actually
/ lost their lives this would naturally
be contrary TO our intentions. The
, German government would deeply re.

sincerest sympathy to the American
government"
