IS AFTER
THE LEVY
iBy II. b. Paulson.l

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 24.-The pro-
posed increase in the levy powers Of
park boards has become an interest
ing issue. G.. B. Waldron of Fargo,
|B. ". Moore Of Fargo, Matthew Muir
ply of Fargo, are seeking an amend
ment to the measure in the senate by
which 1t will be possible to make a
five-mill levy for park purposes in
Fargo as contemplated for other cities
in the state.
The bill, as originally introduced in
the house, contemplated giving all the
park boards in the state the power
to make five-miIl levy, but the
measure was opposed until an amend
ment was adopted. excepting Fargo
from it's operation.
Now the Fargo park board hackers
and other citizens are anxious for the
elimination OF this amendmeat so as
to permit Fargo to take advantage OF
the act.
The bill Is before the municipal COR.
porations committee in the senate.
Some members of the Fargo dele
cation had received protests from
Fargo and had become convinced that
there was considerable sentiment
against an increased levy for Fargo.
During the past few days however
there has been evidence here of an
overwhelming sentiment in Fargo in
favor of the increased levy.

Of III. B. No. 146, by Erb, proposing II :
creation of the office Of president
emel is of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, and the appointment
Of John H. Worst, former president
Of the college, to that post.
That the title. president emeritus,
is educational in its nature. and that
the legislature has no more power to
grant such title than it has to grant
a degree of bachelor of arts. or any
similar degree, was the theory upon
which the senate education committee
refused to sanction the measure.
A further reason for disapproving
Of the bill was the contention that the
bill sought to establish a bad prec-
edent, creating an Office and making
an appropriation thereto. without re-
quiring any duties Of the official in
question.
The bill passed the house some time
ago over objection raised by the
minority that it was seeking to make
an annual appropriation Of $1,000 for
an indefinite period, without requiring
any duties Of the official the act
sought to create.
