ARIZONA AGREES
!. WITH DAKOTA In
REGENTS AFFAIR
Decision Handed Down Is
Almost Identical With
One in N. ID.
OPINIONS CLOSELY
FOLLOW EACH OTHER
Law is a Law From Day It
Passes Legislature, Says
Court

Bismarck, N. D., May 24.-Confirma-
| ton of the judgment Of the majority
OF the North Dakota supreme court in
the board of regents case is found in a
current law report giving an opinion
OF the Arizona supreme court bench
whose findings are almost identical
with those of Judge A. M. Christianson,
as embodied in his special concurring
opinion, and, in part, with those of
Chief Justice Bruce.
The point raised in Arizona was ex-
actly the same as that presented in
the board of regents case here. The
finding of the Arizona court was pre-
cisely the same. The two opinions
were handed down almost simultane-
ously. and the coincidence is rather
noteworthy.
When A Laws Law.
A law is a law, the Arizona supreme
court holds, from the day it passes the
legislature. In the Arizona case the
governor withheld his signature, and
the act became a law merely through
his failure to return it to the legisla-
ture within the prescribed ten days.
This act provided for the naming of a
certain board to assume Office when
the law becomes effective, ninety days
after the close of the session. The act
carried no emergency clause, and 1t
named the members Of the board. The
board members proceeded to qualify
and file their bonds. Suit was brought
to prevent the acceptance of these
bonds, on the grounds that the law had
not taken effect, and the board had no
legal existence and could not qualify
until the act did become operative.
Legislature Had Full Power.
The court ruled that the legislature
had full powers to name members Of
the board; that the law became law
ten days after its passage, when it
was not returned by the governor;
that, the board being lawfully created,
its qualifications and bonds could be
accepted before the act became actual
ly operative.
The board of regents in resisting
custer proceedings made the conten-
ton that a laws provisions may be
complied with and the act considered
binding prior to the actual date of its
taking effect. The board members had
been named and their nominations
confirmed after the passage Of the act
creating their Office, but before it be-
came operative. ..-

ARKANSAS TO ENTER
The LOAN BUSINESS
If Proposed Amendment No. ii
is Adopted Farmers May
Borrow from State

If the voters of Arkansas
adopt at the next election,
Amendment No. (which
has always been the hoodoo,
every amendment carrying
that number having been de
feated,-the state will virtual
~ go into the building and
loan business.
The Davis amendment, pro-
viding for an Arkansas Rural
Credits Loan Fund, is an inter
esting document. The amend
ment provides first that the
Governor, Secretary of State,
and State Land Commissioner,
shall constitute a commission
which may issue bonds to the
extent of two per cent of the
assessed valuation of the state.
These bonds are to be sold at
par and bear four per cent in
terest. The commission then
loans to those who desire to
purchase lands, or pay off
mortgages on their property,
or to buy stock or equipment
at 5 per cent. The amendment
is strictly in the interest of the
small property owner, for it
limits the purchase to eighty
acres and the land must be
bought for home and agricul-
tural purposes, and not for
speculation.
The state will issue bonds
only in blocks of $4,000,
though their denomination will
be $25, 500, $500 and $1,000.
If there are applications for
loans the commission waits
until it has applications total
ing $4,000, when they will is
sue bonds and turn the pro-
ceeds over to those desiring
loans.
The amendment provides
a system of payments, similar
to the building and loan COM
panies, which cares for the in
terest and within a few years
will pay off the loan.
All kinds of safeguards are
thrown around the bill, and
while it is possible for the Dor
rover to secure Is per cent of
the value of the land. he for
feits his rights if he has given
false statements in his applica-
ton for a loan.

A bill that will prohibit any

let or any printed matter of
any nature from being circula-
ted in the State if it contains or
carries advertisements of liquor
was passed by the Arkansas
Senate Monday morning. It
will have the effect of keeping
many metropolitan papers and
a large number of the leading
periodicals from being circul-
ated in Arkansas, because they
carry advertisement for liquor
concerns. An amendment by
Senator Edmondson TO make
it include caffeines and habit
forming drinks was withdrawn.
The measure specifies that
no printed matter of any kind
with liquor advertising in it or
on it shall be circulated, sold or

There are those who tell us
that we ought to be satisfied
but they are preacher of no
true gospel. The merchant of
Syracuse was juster when he
said:
HE that conmmends me to
mine own content
Commends me to the thing l

For those who preach salts
faction are, whether they knew
it or not, apostles of stagnation.
Nothing in this universe of ours
is really stationary, unless per-
haps the rocks-and not all of
the rocks are stationary. Or
ganic life means change. The
seed that is not satisfied grows
into a plant, the crying baby
into the six-footer. The cave
dweller would have remained
a stoneman had he been con-
tented; and, whether we like
it or not, what we call civiliza-
ton, with all its creeds and
crashes, its virtues and vices,
its sacrifices and selfishness, its
arts and its machines, its
brotherhoods and its wars, its
poverties and its progress, is
founded on the dissatisfaction
which makes for effort.
Dissatisfaction with change
able conditions, and, above all,
with conditions that it is worth
while for us to change, is the
ignition spark which sets the
engine to running-and if we

lieve in the spark too.
