POLITICAL MALC0NTENTS AT JAMESTOWN >
WOULD UNDO WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE

house asking them to introduce reso-
lutions attacking the board of control
and directing Attorney General Linde
to bring action against the members
to recover certain sums alleged to
have been diverted unlawfully.
These members refused to be q
party to this kind of political reprisal.
They did not introduce the resolution
nor did they lend themselves to the
scheme to have all the testimony TAX
en- at the various hearings printed and
'circulatedH at the states expense.
Under the low percentage Of the ref.
erendum section Of the constitution
ten per cent of the voters or little
more than 5000 signatures can sus-
pend for two years any act passed by
the last legislature.
The only way to overcome this &C.
tion would be to call an extra session,
re-enact the contested measures and
uIeoSA lAC opCSAdA CLACl ScuCy dCL.
No one wants to incur this addition
al expense but it is understood that
Governor Hanna is firm in his decision
not to allow a few political truckers
| to defeat the real will of the people.
Nowhere is there any genuine senti-
ment or desire to suspend any of the
Legislation enacted at the last session.
Disappointed politicians, however,
have been discussing the possibility of
putting the Hanna administration in
the hole by such action. The oppo-
site would be true, however, as under
the referendum the responsibility for
the suspension of any act would be
directly up to the people who signed
and circulated the petitions.

co. G Will Be
RECRUITED TO
FULL STRENGTH
Served in Philippines With
Distinguished Bravery -
Prompt Action of Citizens
Will Save Company.

For a few days this week it looked
as though Valley City would lose Co
G, as the young men of the city found
it difficult to leave their positions tc
attend the annual encampment and
recruiting was therefore slow.
But prompt action by citizens seems
to have gotten around this difficulty.
The fault is not with the officers
Capt. Ritchie and Lieut.. Kernkamp
are popular with the boys. They are
good officers and the company has al
ways stood high,
At the meeting of Company G Mon
day evening II new members were re-
cruited, and the prospects are that
sufficient number will soon be enroll
ed to bring the company up to the re
quirements. The inspection was held
Wednesday evening.
. Co. G was mustered in March 3,
1885. C. A. Miller was captain, Wal
ter Cushing was first lieutenant, Phil
Girard second lieutenant, and Col. A
P. Peake was first sergeant.
When the war with Spain broke out
the North Dakota regiment was sent
to the Philippines. c. F. Mudgett was
captain, C. w. Getchell first lieutenant
and w. H. Pray second lieutenant. The
company saw service in some Of the
hottest engagements of the campaign,
but did not lose a man from wounds
or disease. Several men came home
to die later from the exposure or dis.
ease contracted in the isuands.
Conspicuous among the members Of
the company were Charley Davis and
Neil Christensen, who were decorated
for signal bravery while serving as
scouts.
After the return from the Philip
pines Frank S. Henry served for ten
years as captain, being promoted to
major two years ago. D. S. Ritchie.
who had been an officer of the COM
pany during the entire ten years, was
then made captain, and to him falls
the duty of mastering out the COM
pany.
A coincidence of the occasion is that
Bert Bertramson, who left the COM
pany in the islands to remain there,
is now here on his first visit to the
United States. He Joined the reyu-
lars after getting his discharge from
Co. G, and later entered the civil SER
vice. He will return to Manila about
May 5.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY REPORTS LOSS
OF IS SHIPS SO FAR IN This WAR

London, March 13.-The British ad-
miralty issued report tonight show
ing that SO British vessels were sunk
or captured by hostile actions, from
the commencement Of the war until
March 10. Twenty were victims of
submarines, Sc were victims of hostile
cruisers and II were destroyed by
mines. In the same period the total
arrivals of sailing steamers Of all ma
tionalities was over 400,
London, March 13.-The British sue
cesses of the last few days are due
to their artillery, which apparently is
superior to that Of the Germans, ac-
cording to the story of British eye
Witness" issued tonight. British guns,
including the heavy howitzers, opened
the way for the advance by British
and Indian troops which carried them
beyond the village of Beuve Chapelle.
while airmen, by dropping bombs on
the roadways prevented the Germans
from bringing up reinforcements.
English Bring Big Guns.
The fire of the artillery is described
as the fiercest yet heard in the war,
and confirms what heretofore has only
been rumored, that the British and
French have brought up since the bat
tie of Ypres, an enormous number of
guns of all calibres. The German
trenches, on which the artillery fire
has been directed, are completely
wrecked, so that except in one or two
places where the rifle pits virtually
have been converted into fortresses.
the infantry has been able to advance
without much difficulty.
This success has greatly heartened
the British troops, who have spent the
winter in trenches, and gives them
hope that when the great general
movement is decided upon, they will
be able to carry all before them. Tho
Germans, according to reports, arc
sending large numbers of troops to
Flanders, in the belief that a general
offensive on the part of the allies has
begun.
The impression prevails, however,
that the British thrust is only a part
of the allies strategy, which aims At
keeping the Germans busy on both
fronts, thus preventing them from
concentrating at any one point. In
the east, the German offensive against
Przasnysz is not developing as fast
as was anticipated. The Russians
are Offering stubborn resistance to
their advance along parallel roads ow-
ing to the inability of the Germans
to entrench in the frozen ground.
Fog Obstructs Fleet.
Petrograd says the Russians thus
far have the advantage in the pre-
liminary fighting. The Germans aro
said to have withdrawn their front to
the north of PrZasnysz. Heavy fight
ing is progressing in the Carpathians
despite the terrific snowstorms, and
deep drifts. Dense fogs have inter-
fered with the operations of the allied
fleet against the Dardanelles, but the
ships have kept up the bombardme =
Of the forts at Bulair, through which
reinforcements and munitions for thu
Notifications in the straits must pass.

Bismarck, March 14.-Governor
Hanna has not attached his veto to a
single appropriation measure that was
passed at the last session of the leg
islature. The work Of the Lathrop
committee was so thorough that all
necessary cuts were made and the
budget bill called for just about what
the institutions and departments
could get along with. Then both SEN
ate and house passed a resolution REC
ommending to the board of equaliza-
ton that they raise the assessed valu-
alton of the state to such point that
the taxes derived would take care of
the appropriations.
For the two bills vetoed the gover-
nor has assigned reasons that will ap-
peal to most fair-minded men. The
ambulance chaser bill of Bronson of
Grand Forks would not, according to
the reasoning Of the governor work
out for the best interests of the state
nor for the interests of any person
who might be injured.
In his veto of the bill providing that
the state should carry it's own insur-
ance the governor went into a good
deal of detail with regard to the risks
and the amount Of money it would
take to rebuild. He used the state
capital building and showed that it
would have to stand there 21O years
before it would be profitable thing
for the state to carry it's own insur-
ance. The governor also called atten-
ton to other buildings in the state up
on which we carry large amount of
insurance and his conclusions were
that it was not good business propo-
.s;tion to carry risk Of fire running
well up into the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.

GOVERNOR PROVED STATE SHOULD
NOT CARRY own FIRE INSURANCE

Bismarck, N. D., March 13-Gover.
nor Hanna has only is bills Of those
passed by the fourteenth legislative
assembly for his final action. The last
batch to be sent over consisted Of
senate bill No. 260, and six house bills,
Nos. 122, ass, 2s3, 355 and 476.
The senate bill is one introduced by
Mudgett of Barnes county and makes
it a misdemeanor to discriminate in
any way against any person wearing
an army or navy uniform of the Unit
ed States.
The only important one among the
house bills was 122 which provides
that here shall be no raise in the sal
ary of any officer whose pay is based
on the assessed valuation. This law
was passed on account of the fact that
it is going to be necessary to rails :.
the assessed valuation il the state for
the purpose of raising sufficient funds
to run the different departments of
state for the next biennial period. The
salary of those officers will be based
upon the 1914 assessment for the
years 1915 and 1916 and then some
other arrangements will be made.
A number of bills to which it was
supposed the emergency clause was
being attached are showing up and
those interested are wondering where
it is going to land them. One in par
ticular is that raising the pay of as
SCISSORS making census enumeration
from two to four cents per name. The
bill will not be effective until July 1
and then the work will have been COM
pleted. There are also a number Of
road law that will be affected in the
same manner. It is desired that the
work be done before July /, but un-
der the ruling of the attorney general
the acts will not be effective until aft
er that date.
It is expected that Governor Hanna
will hand over the budget bill in few
days. The last day for him to sign
bills is week from today and that is
the expiration of the fifteenth day aft
er the adjournment of the legislature.
