One Prussian Voter
OF First Class Equals
$4,000 OF Third Class

The executive government of Prus-
.sia is wholly in the hands of the king,
whose council of ministers is appoint
ed by royal decree.
The Prussian law-making body has
two classes, the upper one of which
is made up Of royal princes, territorial
nobility and a number of magnates
named by the king, with a few burgo-
masters Of large cities.
The lower house, which has 443
members, Is elected by the great body
of Prussian citizens above the age Of
twenty-five, on the now famous three
class system.
!. Those who pay the highest taxes to
the total extent of one-third of all the
taxes paid, constitute the first class
and exercise one-third Of the electoral
power. Those whose taxes In the ag.
gregate constitute a second amount
equal to a third Of the whole, form
the voters Of the second class, ana
they in turn have a third of the vot-
ing power. All the rest of the citizens
who pay taxes constitute the third
class.
The first and second Grasses, made
up Of the large taxpayers and consti-
.tuting perhaps Is per cent OF the en-
tire number of voters, have twice as
much political power as the remain
ing 85 e cent of the voters. Thus,
as we have previously stated, a voter
of the first class in Berlin has fifty
times as much political power as a
voter Of the third class. In the Essen
district, where t Krupp works are
one voter Of the first class has as
much voting power as fifty thousand
voters. of the third class.-RevIew of

u. S. TROOPS ANXIOUS
TO GO INTO THE FRAY
Continued From Page ~

Tn. Ea..EN l. o6O LII B."
France and Great Britain multiplied
by about 5000 miles Of Atlantic ocean.
The daily drills and tasks necessarily
are much the same thing over and
over again, all of which means a
dearth of real news. But the soldiers
are anious that the folks at home
know that the absence Of news
does not NEAR absence Of work. Nor
can the value of each days training
be actually told until the American
soldiers at last stand out as the in-
ished product.
It is not known how long the
French instructional division will re-
main with the Americans. The latter
are proving so apt that undoubtedly
it will be only a short time when but
a few picked French officers will be
retained to assist in the training.
Students of the war are convinced
that the morale Of the troops and the
morale Of the nations Of the entente
will prove to be the final factor. The
morale Of the American soldiers In
France a easily be estimated by the
avidity with which they take up train
ing in offensive tactics as against the
defensive work. They are sincerely
anious for their turn in the trenches
to come.
The men are anxious for a glimpse
of war and there Is no doubt that aft
err they get it it will add infinite zest
ability to train future divisions. The
men still are far enough from the line
to hear or see little that has to do
with real fighting. A brief tour Of
duty in the trenches will explain much
to them, however, and will make them
appreciate the training which they as
not vet wholly understand.

ing owe coal mines and working
them" said Governor Frazier today.
y am Of the opinion, however, that
the conference planned by defense
councils of sixteen coal producing
states may get results. I have had
no formal invitation to attend such a
conference and know nothing more of
the proposal that / have seen in the
newspapers. I have nothing to say at
present as to the fuel situation so far
as Ignite producers Of North Dakota
are concerned"
He would make no comment upon
the probability Of his accepting an
invitation to attend should one be re-
ceived.
North Dakota Ignite mines are
making every effort to increase pro-
duction to the maximum. Native coal
prices were boosted locally IS cents a
ton last spring. Freight rates on lig-
mite coal from the mines were boosted
approximately eight cents per ton by
the Nonpartlsan leagues new distance
tariff measure passed last winter.
Whether the producer or the con-
sumner will pay is to be seen.

PLEADS GUILTY
to- ESCAPE JAIL
WAITING TRIAL
Carnegie, Arrested as
Bone Dry Violator,
Couldn't Give Bail.
Court Told Him He was Not
Guilty and Released Him
One Fined SIS.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 9.-Because he
knew he could not furnish bail and
would be remanded to Grand Forks
county Jail until the federal term Of
court, some time in October or Noven-
Der, John Carnegie, 10 years old, stu
dent brakeman on h Great North
entered,a plea Of guilty in federal
court this morning to a. charge of
transporting liquor from East Grand
Forks to Grand Forks in violation Of
the "bone dry" law
""But you are not guilty." said Judge
Charles F. Amidon, before whom the
prisoner was a~rraigned, who had list
ened to the story the young maj told,
which was to the effect that he was
just a member of a crowd which visit
ed the East Grand Forks brewery on
a hot Sunday afternoon two weeks ago,
but had not "chipped in" or in any
ties.
1.-THE. fellows just asked me to ride
with them over to the brewery and I
know I am not guilty but I would
rather pay a fine and getl through
with this affair than be placed in jail
until the next term Of court"
An uncle Of the young man attend
ing the arrangement said that even
though Carnegie was not guilty, he
thought it better for, him to plead
guilty and pay a fine, than to serve
three or four months in Jail, when the
prisoner would be unable to furnish
probably $500 bail.
On advice of the court Carnegie
pleaded not guilty and was released
on his own recognizance to appear at
the next term of court in Grand Forks.
! Jacob Purpur, another Grand Forks
resident under indictment by the fed
eral jury on a charge Of violation Of
the ""bone dry" law in connection with
the raid on the East Grand Forks
brewery, entered a plea Of guilty
when arraigned before Judge Amidon
and was sentenced to pay a fine Of SIS.
