The dawn of 1917 finds the north

Non-Partisans will stop at the North
west. There is a scattering among

there will be an abundance of plain

GAVElS WHICH WILL RAP
LEGISLATORS TO ORDER
HAVE INTERESTING PAST

The gavels which will call to order
the house and senate during the his
toric session which opens Wednesday
were completed Saturday by P. A.
Peterson, capitol carpenter, and turn
ed over to the board of control. Both
are of oak, in antique finish, and the
workmanship is excellent. 1t is the
history of the wood, however, that
gives the gavels their principal inter-
est. The handles are fashioned from
rounds of chair which long saw ser.
vice in the governors office; the NAL
let parts are made from wood taken
from an old set of bannisters which
formerly aided in giving the bank ex-
aminer's office a bankly appearance.
About each handle are Is rings, re-
presenting the Is general assemblies
which will have passed into history
when the gavels have finally served
their purpose. AT the close of the ses-
sion Lieutenant Governor Kraabel will
carry home the senate gavel to add to
his collection, and Speaker Howard
r. Wood will become owner of his
emblem of authority in the house.

ANOTHER SESSION.

North Dakota is facing a crisis in
its political history as important as
when it cast off it's territorial identity
and became state. BY an over.
whelming vote, the people of the
state rejected the old regime and en-.
dOrsed new men, new principles and
a new deal.
1t is not clear at this writing just
how all the reforms are going to be
worked out. The leaders of the po-
litical revolt seem inclined to move
slowly. 1t is well that they should.
Now is the time for calm, judicial
and temperate action.
Power brings with it responsibility.
The greater the power the greater the
responsibility. The voters Of the
state are not demanding a change
simply to appease desire for vari-
ETY.. They must be shown first that
each innovation is an improvement
oevr the old.
The state government has OutgroWn
some of it's clothes. There is neces-
sity for changes. Efficiency of gov
eminent can be bettered by eliminat
ing the sinecures and reducing the
purely political berths.
II the League and its leaders apply
themselves to eliminating waste in
the administration Of state affairs
and make the public dollar go further
than it does now, they can perform
a real service to estate
Bismarck welcomes the Legislature
and trusts that this .css;on will do
much for the general welfare Of the
state.
There is a spirit Of cooperation
abroad in the land.
The welfare of North Dakota is the
only consideration.

NORTH OAK0TA'S FIRST
REAL RAILROAD BOARD
COMPLETES ITS LAb0RS
Commission Which Goes Out 0.
Service Today Has Held
Office Eight Years

North Dakota's first real railroad
commission completes it's labOrs to-
day and tomorrow surrenders its IT,
ties and honors and duties to a new
board. w. H. Stutsman of Mandan,
o. P. N. Anderson of Starkweather
and w. H. Mann, the retiring COM
missioners, go out of office with the
good will and respect of everyone
with whom they have had 10 do dur
ing the eight years they, have served
the state. i I J A y
Until eight Year," ago, when the re-
firing commission was named, North
Dakotas railroad commission was not
salaried, and it's only visible evidence
of existence was secretary at the
capitol. This secretary was Jimmy
Foley, now James w. Foley, North
Dakota's poet laureate. He drew the
princely salary of $1,000 per annum,
and by day he looked after transpor-
tation problems and by night he
wrote poems with which to exc out
a decent living.
Laws strengthened.
o. P. N. Anderson was member OF
the legislature which provided for
full-time, fullpaid railroad commits
sion, and he was instrumental in
Strengthening the laws under which
the board operated. The first secre-
tary of the new board was Thomas
Hall. When the latter at the end of
four years resigned to become secre-
tary of state, Walter F. Gushing, the
present secretary, then editor of The
Courier-News, was appointed.
The relations between the board
and it's secretary. and between both
board and secretary and the public
have been harmonious. The laws
whose administration are in the
hands of the commission have been
strengthened from session to session,
and the board has had an ever-in-
creasing amount of business to look
after.
The New Board.
The board which assumes Office to-
morrow is composed of S. ]. Aandahl
of Litchville. Charles w. Bleick of
Elgin and M. P. Johnson Of Tolley,
all of whom are considered good
men. 1t j. generally believed that
