!. SHORTAGE
A THIRD.
Temperance Cause Won ST.
lent Victory When Re-
submissionists Fail
LESS Than $4,000 SIGNERS
That Is Estimate of Number
of Asked Votes on Tenn
perance Adjustment ..

Interesting details concerning the
failure of the resubmission movement
have Just come to light, indicating that
the sponsors of the plan to call an
election on the question of repeating
the states prohibition provision in the
state constitution obtained only about
two-thirds Of the required number OF
signers to their petitions.
To obtain a vote on constitutional
amendment question, when initiated by
petition. the signatures OF approxi-
is worked out on the basis of 25 per
cent petition from a majority of the
counties. and is based on the estimate
of total population Of legal voters of
about 115,000 to $4,000 in the state,
Less Than 14.O0O Signed.
While the sponsors of the resubmis-
sion movement, which had its incep-
tion In the Vicinity ct Bismarck, the
natures being maintained in that city,
have made no statement OF the success,
or rather lack OF success they met
with, it is understood that the petitions
when the time for fling arrived. The
time limit within which the petitions
could be fled expired a week ago to-
day.
See Great Silent Victory.
Friends of prohibition in the state
are greatly pleased at the failure of
the resubmission element. They feared
that they would be compelled to make
a fight for the retention of the law, and
while they possessed no doubt as to the
outcome of such battle, they realized,
nevertheless, that it would be a, bitter
struggle and one that would demand
the expenditure of no small portion of
the resources available to the prohibi-
tion cause.
Continued Work Planned.
Another feature that enters into the
situation, and makes the result so sat
isfactory to the temperance forces, is
the fact that the failure of the resub-
mission element to force an election at
this time, Notwithstanding the fact that
| the movement has been under way for
months, indicate to them, and to the
nation generally, that prohibition is SO
strong in North Dakota that it is prac-
! tically impossible to revive the ques-
| tion Of resubmission, even under re-
| quirements so lax that it requires pc
tition of only about a sixth of the vot-
ing strength of the state to bring
about such ballot.
The prohibition forces of North Da-
kota propose using their energy in
more stringent law enforcement, In
! constant education, and in aiding South
| Dakota and Montana prohibition forces
in their fight for the statewide abolish
| ment of the saloon -

From the standpoint of economic for estry there has been too much lum- Der, and because of this, not suffi- cient profit in it's production to jus tify making provision for successive crops. This condition is, of course, influenced by many factors such as the desire of timberland owners to liquidate their capital the risk of forest fires and the high carrying charges as result Of excessive taxa ton and unstable conditions. For estry cannot ignore the influence of the lumber markets, and the prob lems affecting the lumber industry.

Endorses GarrisOn's Plan.
 MT. Stimson endorsed as sssound and intelligent" Secretary Garrison's plan to bring the regular army up to it's proper basis, but added that person. ally, he thought the regular army now should be made larger still.
 Referring to the recent Mexican border troubles and the demands Of many for a punitive expedition, Mr. StimSOn said:
 Tt is conceivable that at almost any time the hands of our government may be forced by some such emer- gency, yet at the present day, with the great bulk Of our army massed along the Mexican border we have only 20,- 900 troops there available for such an expedition and, under sober cal culation, the Mexicans have far more armed men and trained troops avail able for punitive expendition into our territory than we into theirs"
 Secretary Roots Letter.
 Senator Roots letter endorsed Sec- retary Garrison's contention that the national board could not be depended
 
 on for the army increase.
 'It is idle,' wrote MT. Root, to talk of developing the national guard itself into an adequate army for na- tlonal defense and any such attempt would inevitably result in the failure of the whole movement and the waste of all the energy and effort devoted to it. The national guard are primarily state troops for state purposes and they must continue to be so.
 There are good things in Secre- ! tary Garrison's plan. The doing of them would be progress in the right direction. Don't lose these good things even though you may find that you can't at this time get something more in the same direction. But in the meantime, let us take the first steps on any sort of a program that is directed toward the goal we ought to attain--a trained and always avail able national citizen soldiery under the instruction and administration and | formative leadership of an adequate though small regular army Consolidation Discussed. Proposals for a consolidation of al 1 the military preparedness organiza- l tions under the auspices of the se- | curity league were being discussed in l formally today.
