s MAKE NO FIGHT.
When the senate convened at
l:Uo p. m. today, the minority of
the appropriations committe did
not renew its attack on the $751;
ooo appropriation for the normal
school. The majority report, re-
guessing this amount, was unan- )
imously adopted.
The League showed its hand Satur-
day afternoon, when Nonpartisan
members OF the senate appropriations
committee brought in a minority re.
port recommending that the appro-
prlatl0n for the Dickinson normal
school, approved by the people by a
majority Of 10000 at the last general
election, be cut $4,000 The budget
board recommended that $252,0O0 be
appropriated for the Slope country in
stitution.. This total was pared down
to $1S1,00O by a majority of the APP
preparations committee. The minor
ity appropriations report recommend
ed but slOO,OO0.
The budget board trimmed down
the Dickinson normal estimates to
the lowest possible figure, finally re-
commencing the same amount appro-
priated for the Minot normal several
years ago, when the cost Of materials,
labor, equipment and everything else
was from Is to so percent less than
today. The action of the ma ority of
the appropriations committee in lop-
ping almost 100000 from this esti.
mate was radical enough to satisfy
the most rabid opponent of further
progress for the Missouri slope, but
it did not content league members OF
the committee-Sikes, McCarten, Ben
son and Morlrid-whO signed the
minority report recommending that
the total be still further reduced to
100000. .#
Members of the senate announced
before the opening Of the session to-
day that they intended to stand by
the budget board report, reject both
committee recommendation and in
sist upon the full amount of the Dick
insOns normal estimate.
IF our budget board is worth any
thing, and it surely ought to be, con-
Sidering the time it has spent on
these matters, we should abide by It's
recommendations" said Senator Nc
Lean, land for one intend to insist
that the budget board report on the
normal be accepted"
The appropriation was made spe-
cial order for, J. o'clock sthis afternoon,

Protesting that the measure will do
no one any good and that it may 40

urday night to protest against Dr.

medicine manufacturers selling their
products in this state to reveal their
