BELIEVES IN STATE

]. T.. Nelson of Glen Ullin, one of
western North Dakota's pioneer bust
ness men, isn't afraid to preach his
state. He has done so at national
conventions of retail merchants in
Chicago and Denver, where he has
represented the North Dakota Retail
Merchants association, which he
served four years as president, and he
did some effective advertising about
the capital this week. Mr.. Nelson re-
CARDS North Dakota the garden spot Of
the universe, and, of course, the one
spot in the garden is Glen Ullin. When
he started raising apples at Glen Ullin
many years ago, friends accused him
of buying Washington fruit and wiring
it to his trees. Now everyone knows
that Glen Ullin is in the fruit belt. A
neighbor of Mr.. Nelson's this year sold
$500 worth of prime Grimm's alfalfa
seed from a 3 IL acre patch, after
keeping enough seed for his own sup
ply. The Glen Ullinite embarked in a
general merchandise business on his
present site quarter century ago.
Now he has fine two-story fire-prOof
building covering ground space of
100 by 60 feet, and he is very we'll sat-
isfied with his North Dakota exper-
ience.

SHORT BALLOT BILL
TO BE INTRODUCED BY
M'LEAN OF CAVALIER

One of the bills which is to receive
early consideration from the senate is
a short ballot measure, reducing the
number of elective officers to the
governor and treasurer. and making
all other state officers appOintive.
This measure is favored by Senator
Mclean of Cavalier, who is now at
work on a draft of his bill. The pur'
pose IS to decrease the size of the bal
lot, and thus to eliminate much OF the
confusion incident to the present COM
pilcated ballot, which in the last gen.
eral election covered q sheet OF paper
four fest long and three wide, and at
the same time to place the RESPONSE
bility for his administration upon the
shoulders Of the governor, who is
given power to appoint his aides.
The bill would give both elective
officers single fOur-year terms. The
inability of governor to succeed HIM

MARTIN
FOR Commission
TO RULE STATE
Introduces Bill But Says That He
Does Not Think Measure
Stands Any Show

A commission form of government,
with a commission of nine members,
representing nine legislative districts
and receiving for their services $4,000
per annum, is provided for in Senate
Bill No. 90, introduced yesterday aft
ernoon by Senator Martin OF Morton.
The senator from Morton would have
his commission on the job all the
time: he would have it divided into
two classes, to be composed OF men,
bers elected in the odd and those
named in the even years, and he would
provide for the election Of at least
four members every two years. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is made president
of the commission, which is also di-
rected to elect a president pro TEN.
No legislative act of this commission
would become law until held consti-
tutional by the supreme court. No
member of the commission could hold
any other office or pursue any other
gainful occupation.
Senator Martin two years ago in
troduce a bill providing for legisla-
tive commission of Is members. That
bill did not pass.
81 have no hope that this bill will
get through said Mr.. Martin this
afternoon, but weaare slowly coming
to commission forms of state govern
ment. A system which will permit a
body of Is men to undo the work Of
120 men is wrong, and that is what
our present legislative organization
tolerates. No, this is not league bill.
1t represents my own IDEAS"
Other Radical Changes.
Other radical changes are provided
for by Senator Mclean in several
bills providing for fouryear terms
for representatives and eight-year
terms for senator's; for quadriennial
sessions, and for a perdiem of ten dol
lars and for an upper house whose
membership is to be not less than Is
nor more. than 40 members and a
lower house Of not less than 40 nor
more than Is.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-01-10
With the Legislative Members
e present proposed scheme Of the

the present proposed scheme of the
league.
THE state has no funds to build
terminal elevators, flour mills, pack
ing plants, etc. So they now propose
that we constitute ourselves as dele
gates to a constitutional convention
for the purpose OF revising our con-
stitution, to amend it by raising the
debt limit so that they could bond the
state and also to provide for using
the permanent fund for the common
schools Of our state and also the per-
manent endowment fund OF our insti-
buttons.
by our present constitution, said
funds may be added to but never de-
creased. The interest of such funds is
the only part that may be used for
the use OF the schools.
you look up your constitution and
read it carefully and see if you do
not think it would be Il very serious
mistake for men situated as you are,
who have the best interests OF our
state at heart, to advocate such a
course. Answer this and advise me
what you think"

A land office business was done by
the new board of university and school
lands at it's first session this week.
Farm mortgage loans to the extent or
$4,000 were approved; $4,000 worth
Of Adams county refunding bonds were
purchased, and a $1,000 issue of Brown
school district bonds in Wells county
was accepted.
Sales of scnOol lands are cOntem-
plated in Mountrail, Emmons. kidder
Logan, Mcintosh, Dickey and Oliver
counties. All of this land must be ap-
praised before being put up at public
sale, and in two OF the countieS-Oliv-
er and MOuntrail-it must be inVesti-
gated for coal.
The New Board.
The new board is composed of Gov
ernor Lynn j. FraSaer, Attorney Gen
eral William LANCER, State Auditor
Carl r. KositZky, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction Neil G. Macdonald
and Secretary of State Thomas Hall
Three of these conference.-the COVER
nor, attorney general and superintend'
ent of public instruction-it developed
this week, are ilumni Of the Univer
sity of North Dakota. ,-s-
The term OF the, present land COM
missioner, Major Frank 8: Henry, does
not expire until September l, 1917.
Trustees for Great Fund.
The board of university and school
lands is trustee for North Dakota's
great permanent fund, which totaled
July /, 1916, $24,543, 7O5.S1. There re-
manned unsold of the states public
land grant at that time 1,642,OOO acres
or more than half Of the original al.
lOtment.
One of the best features of the pro-
visions surrounding the states trust
funds is that none of the revenue shall
be loaned outside of the state. Every
penny the state has to invest goes in
to farm loans, county, school and mu-
nicipal bonds within the state. There
is now invested in farm loans $4,291,-
no, of which $1,957,15O has been loan
ed during the last two years. In school
county and municipal bonds, the state
has invested $7,9S6,392.

FARGO SENATOR MAY
INTRODUCE BILL FOR
STATE TRADEMARK
G. w. Haggart Selected AS Man
to Pilot Measure Advocated
by DR.. E. F. Ladd

Conspicuous among the nOtables
who moved about the lobby of the
Mckenzie hotel last evening was Dr.
E. F. I-add, president of the North
Dakota Agricultural college and one
of the foremost chemists of the Unit,
ed States.
The chief purpose of the visit of the
educator to Bismarck was in cOnnec
ton with the meeting OF the mem
bers of the state board Of education
which yesterday confirmed the ap
pointment Of N. C. Macdonald, state
superintendent of schools.
Secondarily, DR.. Laid wanted to dc
little lobbying in the interests OF
the farmer, the merchant and the
business man of the state. For months
he has been advocating state trade
mark which will guarantee purity and
quality to the purchaser of North Da
kOta goods and products.
With the view of getting law en-
acted at this session of the legisla
ture providing for state trademark
the president Of the Agricultural col
lege conferred with Senator G. w
Haggart of Fargo, who in all prob
ability will introduce the measure into
the senate.
The trademark, according to DR.
Ladd, would have the following word
ing: North Dakota Standard and
would also bear a map of the state

A'lEAN FAv0RS BILL
TO PROVIDE FOR JOINT
C0NYENT|0N-PR|AAR\
Believes Much of Expense Con.
nected with Present Election
Plan Can Be Eliminated

A combination of the present pri-
mary with the old convention system,
as recommended by Governor Hanna
in his eXaugural address, will be pro-
vided for in a bill which Senator Nc
Lean OF Cavalier is now preparing.
The veteran member from the Elgh-
teenth believes that decrease in ex-
pense and much more satisfactory re-
suits generally are to be gained from
such a plan.
The general idea of the bill is to
provide for the election at county pri-
maries OF delegates to the state con-
yentiOn, who in turn shall name the
candidates of their party. If they sue
coed in tremendously agreeing upon a
full slate of one candidate for each
office that shall become the ticket Of
their party and there will be no fur
Their primary. ! If they fail to agree
upon one set q candidates, two may
be placed in the field, and a primary
then will decide.
The idea of the bill is to do away
with a multiplicity Of primary candi-
dates which is said to sometimes re-
suit in men unfit for office receiving
the nomination, to the discredit of
their party.
