SENATE AND HOUSE
BUSY WITH BILLS
SUNDAY LID BILL BEFORE
SENATE TUESDAY =. STATE
BOARDS MAY NOT CHANGE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 8.-The state
senate today will be occupied with
discussion of the proposal to relieve
some of the pressure occasioned by
Attorney General Langer's stringent,
enforcement of the Sunday bill.
S.B. No. 81, the measure proposing
that certain lines of business be de-
clared necessities, and that they be
permitted to operate Sunday, comes
back from the committee today with
out recommendation. The committee
on judiciary had a lengthy session
on the question yesterday morning,
and finally decided to report the bill
back without either approval or dis
approval.
Baming H. B. No. A, no measure
introduced at this session has caused
so much discussion as S. B. No. 81,
framed with view to relieving the
pressure on the Sunday lid. It has
been petitioned for and against,
amended and reamended, referred and
re-referred, and today the senate will
sit in autopsy upon it's mangled re-
mains. Whether the corpse will be
given a decent burial or sent on it's
way to third reading remains much
in doubt.
against S. B. No. 81 contend: "The
ciy motive that should govern Sun
day work should be service necessary
to the public good. Our present Sum
day law should remain intact, except
that the word necessity in works Of
necessity should be so defined that
the officers may have q definite basis
of action. We positively protest
against any change that will legalize
theatres, commercialize baseball, pool
halls and hunting on Sunday. We
condemn S. B. No. ia, which would
legalize hunting on Sunday; H. B.
No. ITO, which would legalize Sun
day theatres and keep up feud in
many communities of the state, and
we oppose any effort to broaden S.
B. No. 81, so as to include. Sunday
baseball or other than work neces-
sary to the public good"
S. B. No. ia, introduced by Lind |
strom, exempting hunting from the
list of illegal Sunday acts during the
open season, was reported out by the
game and fish committee yesterday
without recommendation, and this
measure, with Senator Hamilton's
bill No. 1877, making baseball per-
missible Sunday afternoons, will come
up on the floor Of the senate for a
fight to the finish.
The senate re-referred to the COM
mittee on state affairs H. B. No. "a,
abolishing the Office of hotel inspec-
Tor and imposing its duties on the
food commissioner at the agricul-
tural college, and H. B. No. AZ, maxi
ing the food commissioner ex officio
state Inspector Of oils, both Of which
measures were passed by the house,
with the endorsement of Governor
Frazier, who recommended them in
his inaugural address. !

TRIBUTES TO LINCOLN
BY John Vance Cheney In Chicago Interior

The hour was on us. Where the
man?
The fateful sands unfaltering ran,
And up the way of tears
He came into the years,
Our pastoral captain. Forth he
came,
As one that answers to his fame,
Nor dreamed how high his
charge, o.
His work how fair and large,
To set the stones back in the wall,
Lest the divided house should fall
And peace from men depart,
Hope and the childlike heart.
We looked on him. otis he," we
said,
"Come crownless and unheralded,
The shepherd who will keep
The focks, will fold the sheep
Unknightly, yes, yet twas the
mien
Presaging the immortal scene,
Some battle of His wars
Who sealeth up the stars.
Not he would take the past be-
tween
His hands, wipe Valor's tablets
clean,

PRESIDENT'SAID
ASKED IN CLERK
HOUSING PUZZLE

President Wilson was today appeal
ed to by the United States civf1 Ser
vice Commission in regard to the
establishment OF centralized bureau
for renting rooms to Government
clerks.
In a letter to the President the
commission, stressed the fact that
reports are being circulated about the
country telling OF drastic stringency
and exorbitant prices. These reports
were Internationally denied by the
commission, which has been conduct
ing q searching examination through
the residential sections OF the city
as to rooms and prices.
The commission. states, however,
that the prices for rooms in apart
ments are e1orbitant and rooms are
scarce.
1t was suggested that the matter
be put in the hands OF the Council
of National Defense.
Figures startie.
In giving come figures on the sit-
uation the commission sayAs there
were 5000 clerks In Washington be-
fore the var and since the war 2O,-
600 have been added to that number,
There viii be an influx of about H.
900 more in the next six months.
In replying the President acknowl-
edged receipt of the commissions
communication, and said that he
would look further into the matter.
VIII OPen Listing Bureau.
The District branch of the Coun-
Gil OF Defense expects to have its
central listing bureau in full opera
tion within a week. according to an
announcement made by Chairman
Baldwin. Efforts are now being
made to obtain necessary quarters to
house the bureau.
In the meantime listing Of rooms
for men is in the hands of the Y.
NJ. c. A, while the Y. W. c. A. is
taking care Of the registry Of rooms
for women.
Mr.. Baldwin has sent out an ap-
peal for rooms declaring that pa
triotism can in no way be better ex-
pressed than for Wsshingtonians to
come forward with offers OF rooms
for the army of Federal clerks.

we could find well qualified, experience
ed men, would cooperate with various
agencies which are now considering
this all important subject and repre-
sem our state with official standing.
Encouraging Agriculture.
l have referred briefly to the neces-
sity for more markets of easy accessi-
bility, but | want to emphasize this
important point. The French plan of
NEAR markets and "sure markets for
the small producer would encourage
the farmer in his enterprise, call many
of our sons back to the soil and result
in a reasonable readjustment of food
prices.
However, l believe we should go a
step further and create a great state
market of our own in the combined
public institutions of New Jersey. De-
spite the efforts made at produce rails
ing in separate Jurisdictions, it is cost
ing the state hundreds 'of thousands
of dollars to feed its growing number
of dependeu;s-the insane, the INDECENT
poor, the physically afflicted and the
inmates of various charitable and cor
rectional institutions. Yet adjacens to
those institutions there are thousands
of acres of land, either owned by the
state or readily and cheaply available,
which can be cultivated and titled and
made to yield sufficiently to supply
practically all of our dependents with
food. thus reducing the tax burden of
every property owner. The task calls
for uniformity Of control, system and
the application of modern methods.
The responsibility for properly han
ding this joint proposition of a state
farm and state market should be cen
tralized in some n body or agency,
and l earnestly favor legislation de-
signed to bring this about.
1.-THE governor urged the need of CO.
operation bettyeen the state and the
counties on al. important questions and
declared thar .he mayors of the differ
ent municipalities of the state should
frequently be called In to discuss the
problems of the municipalities and the
relation of the state government there

administration should take a keen in
terest in the possibilities of a ship
canal. l thoroughly appreciate that to
a certain extent this is a federal re-
sponsibility, but the federal govern
ment is waiting on us for the right of
way.
The thirty-two miles of river front
from Camden to Trenton is now more
than two-thirds occupied either by
manufacturing plants. towns or con-
f~igurations of shore that fail to be at
tractive spots for manufacturing es-
adjustments. This stretch is of great
value to the state. OF how infinitely
greater value, then, would be a river.
with both sides in New Jersey, run
ming for thirty-four miles through a
strip of what is now farming land,
from Bordentown to Perth Amboy?
Surely it would yitalize what is now
back country territory. 1t would be
the choice location for manufacturers
in the eastern part of the United States.
For the coal. pig iron and lumber of
tie major part of the eastern states ii
would provide access to- two large
cities on a safe highway.
| submit for your consideration the
desirability of further legislation look
ing toward the acquisition of the right
of way for such a canal or a strip Of
land two miles wide, so that the state
may have the opportunity to recoup
it's outlay, perhaps many times over, by
selling mandatory sites.
High Cost of Living.
| believe that the extension and de-
velopment of New Jerseys roads and
waterways would have a remedial eff
feet on the malady known as ''the high
cost of living" Undoubtedly the exor-
bitant cost of transportation, of han
ding and rehandling products of the
farm and factory. is a factor contrib
uting to this serious condition.
OF course | shall not presume to d.
agnose an economic disease which IL

New Jersey might do her part in a
task which is national in its scope by
the authorization of II unsalaried COM
mission of not more than three. This

The question of a revision of our
corporation laws is already in the
hands of a special commission. No
doubt it's report will be of valuable
assistance to you and to me in deter
mining upon the best program of re-
vision.
There is no doubt that the subject
needs our careful consideration be-
cause of the changed conditions
brought about by the so called "Seven
Sisters" acts. At a recent hearing be-
fore the commission which is studying
the subject it was the opinion of a
number of speakers that this legisla-
ton was so uncertain in language as
TO render 1t almost a nullity, though
the apparently drastic provisions Of
the laws have driven away from New
Jersey many corporations formerly OPP
Grating under Jersey charters and have
prevented others from Incorporating
here.
These laws have been in force five
years, and that is sufficient time for a
fair test. | am not in favor of letting
down the bars. but l do want to get
this revenhe for New Jersey if it can
be got without fostering monopoly.
Have the laws really suppressed mo-
nopoly and estortionate prices? AIRS
the food spectators less active and
the popular @.tcry against monopoly
and extortion less vigorous after five
years of the "Seyen Sisters?" Has a
single prosecution been instituted I'M
