BUDGET BOARD :
WOULD TIE Up
OUR CAR LINE
Will Recommend Operation of
Capitol Street Railway by State
Be Discontinued
LOSING PROPOSITION IS
CLAIM OF APPROPRIATIONS

II recommendations of the budget
board are carried out by the general
assembly, the state, before embark
ing in the ownership Of new public
utilities, will discontinue the opera
ton of the only state-owned utility
of which North Dakota now boasts
the Capitol Street Railway line.
Losing Proposition.
Chairman Lewis Of the board of
control never has been very friendly
to the Capitol street railway. Tread
we'll Twichell of the budget board
joins with him in the belief that the
state would save about $4,000 per an
mum by permitting its employees to
walk to and from the capitol, or pay
the fee exacted by taxi men. The
franchise, says MIR. Twichell, prevents
the state from increasing it's fare to
the capitol to 10 or Is cents, which
would make the street car line pay.
Mr.. Twichell estimates the cost of
surface improvements which would
be necessitated by the paving Of
Fourth street at $4,000. Senator
Paul Kretschmar, chairman of the
senate appropriations committee, and
also a member of the budget board,
has received from Second Assistant
States Attorney Brennan an opinion,
holding that the state has no right to
engage in the street car business in
the first place; no right to appropri-
ate further money for improvements
to the car line in the second place,
and that in the third place the state
cannot violate it's franchise with the
city of Bismarck for the reason that
no franchise has legally existed.
On the same grounds, Governor
Burke during his administration We
toed a bill providing for the extension
of the line to the penitentiary, hold

in which the state had
no right to engage without the vote
of twothirds of it's people. Assist

opinion expresses the belief that an
attempt to compel the state to pave,

result in a court order to sell the

types as is plainly evidenced by the
small percentage OF illiteracy in this
state. This is due to the fact that
countries in Europe supplying immi-
grants for settlement in this state
have for the most part compulsory ed
ucation. OnlyI.7sper cent Of the popu-
lation Of all classes between the ages
of 10 and 20 were reported as litter
ate in 1910. Doubtless the per centage
has decreased since the last federal
census.
The distribution of population plain
ly directs the features OF our educa-
tional system that must be developed.
In 1910 more than 80 per cent of the
population between the ages of 10 and
20 was rural. Conditions have changed
little in six years.
This proves graphically as the re-
port wisely indicates that the popula-
ton is far more likely to be interest
ed in scientific and practical agricul-
tural education than the tenant class
es found in some other states.

EDUCATIONAL SURVEY.

Copies OF the long delayed educa-
,tional, survey of the state have been
reviewed from the federal printing Of
flee. The Tribune proposes in a Sc
ries Of articles to discuss its various
features, so that the chief points may
be boiled down for busy readers.
We have only dipped into the re-
port, nibbled at it., as it were.
In the first chapter we regret to
find the climate dismissed in this
rather empiric statement: 1.-THE win
ters are long and the summers short
OF course, the statement is nOn.essen-
tial, merely introductory, but why in
a report that is to have a general cir
culation seek to picture North Dakota
as frlgN. Winters here are no long
err than in the wide zone about us;
no longer than those of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, parts of Illinois,
Maine, Iowa and other states that
could be named.
This preface is rather chilly in
PRODUCTION. We do not want to dis
count the merit of the report by an
undue emphasis, but will someone get
up in "meetin'" and tell us why peo-
pie who know better should continue
to libel the state and picture it as
a threshold to the Arctic regions
The primer-like reference: 1.-THE
winters are long and the summers
short" evidently lodged the editor,
If the report had one.
The survey follows up this climat-
ical designation by saying that che
long winters and short summers linn
it" the range of profitable farming to
hardy cereals, grasses fruits, vegeta,
bles and root crops and to livestock
growing. Who is responsible for this
inaccuracy doth not appear
Probably this portion of the first
chapter can be explained on the
grounds that the authors are experts
on educational subjects rather than
on soil and climate.
In future editions some kind and
discreet hand should expunge these
portions. They will give false i'm
preston of the state and, to say the
least, are poor advertising.
or course, the references to the
natural resources are not essential to
the success of the report, but in con.
veying impressions to the stranger
they are Of considerable importance.

Attorney General Langers' opinion, the
chief executive, Immediately after ad-
jOurnment, can declare these Offices
vacant and make his interim appoint
ments without regard to the senate's
feelings in the matter.
The governors nominees for regents
of the state educational institutions
are: DR.. w. G. Brown of Fargo, for
six years; Robert Muir of Sarles and
Rev G. f. Vermilya of Valley City, for
four years; George Totten of Bow
man and Roscoe Deague Of Sawyer, for
two years.
Attorney General LANCER holds that
the present members hold office illeg-
ally for the reason that they were
named before the act creating the
state board Of regents was passed by
the Fourteenth assembly. Governor
Hanna is claimed to have sent his ap-
pointments in to the senate March 2,
1915, while the law was not passed
until March 4. The appointments were
confirmed March g.
The same procedure held true Of
the appointment Of members Of the
state board Of control for the extend
ed term provided for by the Fifteenth
assembly. In both cases appointments
were made before legal authority was
given, but the final confirmation did
not take place until after the acts had
been passed.

IN ECUADOR.

There is one. American country that
has a real. "'water-tight" eight-hour
law.
No, it isn't Canada, or Mexico, or
the Argentine Republic.
It is Ecuador, that tiny triangular
country, squeezed in between Peru
and Colombia, that looks as il it were
sliding of the steep sides Of the An.
des straight into the Pacific.
Ecuador is the only nation in the
world with an eight-hour law that
includes every employe in the country
and pays time and quarter or bet
ter for overtime.
The whole meat OF law, which has
just been put into effect is in three
short, simple articles:
Cd Every laborer, workingman,
clerk in store, Office, or industrial es'
adjustment, and in general, every en-
ploye OF any kind shall not be forced
to work more than eight hours daily,
six days a week, and is exempt from
work on Sundays and legal holidays.
(2) No employer can evade the
accomplishment of this decree by any
stipulation with the employe or labor
er. ...s
(3) If the laborer, workman, clerk,
ETC., be requested to work longer than
eight hours he shall be paid Is per
cent overtime for the extra work done
during the day, so per cent overtime
from six in the evening to midnight,
and 100 per cent after that hour.
