commerce
II is the paramount duty of the
American government and every loyal
American citizen to leave nothing un
done TO prepare for war.
No man can say with any certain:
what the situation will be when Co
gress conyenes April is.
Whether the act which means war
has been committed or not. the first
duty of Congress, the imperative duty,
will be to pass law for universal
military training.
If such a law had been passed two
years ago we would now have a mil
lion trained soldiers and the fact
that we had them probably would
have had a tremendous influence on
German policy
For the Germans seem to under
stand but one language, the largu1ge
Of military power
But there is nothing to be gained
by moping over past mistakes.
The thing to do now is to give Ger
many and the rest Of the world a
demonstration Of American patriot
ism, efficiency and power, such as will
amaze them and save this nation from
possible disaster.
And also let us prepare to deal with
disloyalty and treason, from what
ever source they emanate, so drastic
ally that all Of our energies may be
devoted to the outside enemy.
! From this time on, until peace again
reigns in the world, the citizen or
alien in this country, whatever his
motives, who directly or indirectly
lends his influence to the propaganda
| for unpreparedness is an enemy. and
il there is no law to punish him as
such, Congress should enact one.

Capitol Neus
GOVERNOR CANNOT VETO
| PART OF BILL AFTER
LEGISLATURE QUITS
Frazier Would Have Liked to
Eliminate Appropriation Of
$4,000 for Night Schools

Special appropriation, bills, contain.
ing only one item of"appropriation,
cannot be vetoed in part and partially
approved by the governor, rules AS
sistant Attorney General Brennan, in
an important opinion which he this
week furnished Governor Frazier.
The governor requested an opinion
as to the extent of his veto power.
with especial reference to House Bill
81, providing for the establishment
of night schools as a part Of the local
and state educational system, and ap-
propriating $4,000 to meet the obi
CATION imposed on the state Of shar-
ing the cost Of maintenance. The gov
ernor favored the bill insofar as it
gives legal status to night schools
and empowers county and municipal
boards of education to establish and
maintain them, but he objected to the
appropriation, in view OF the fact
that there are altogether too many
appropriations for North Dakota's
public purse. He therefore asked the
attorney general whether the COVER
nor was not authorized by the con-
stitution of, North Dakota to approve
Of part and disapprove of other parts
of House Bill 81.
Mr.. Brennan quotes the constitu-
ton as providing that no bill shall
embrace more than one subject, which
shall be. expressed in it's title; that
the general appropriation bill shall
embrace nothing but appropriations
for the, expense of the executive, leg
islative; and judicial departments. in
terest on the public debt, and for pub
lie. schools. and that the governor
shall have the power to disapprOve OF
any item or items or part or parts
of any bill making appropriations Of
money or property embracing dis
tinct terms, and the part or parts Of
the bill approved shall be the law,
and the item or items disapproved
shall be void, unless items are We
toed while the legislature is in ses-
sion, and then passed over the gov
ernor's veto, as prescribed by law.
"Whatever veto authority the gov
ernor possesses is conferred upon him
by the constitution" quotes Mr..
Brennan, "and when he claims the
right to exercise this power, it is in
cumbent on him to show that the peo-
pie have clearly delegated it to him.
I am of the opinion that House Bill
81 is a special appropriation bill con-
tanning only one item of appropria-
ton, and the section of the, constitu.
ton last above referred to does not
apply to this bill" @'
The governor has signed House
Bill 81 in toto. .

may be done to pass safely through
this period of change. One. Of the
big dangers is. from overheating in
home, workshop, Office or place Of
amusement. THE proper thing. to do
is to dress in comfortable clothing
and work in a Temperature that IS
not too warm It is, not safe to work
in an atmosphere that produces
feeling of oppression and starts per-
spiratiOn.
Sudden exposure to cold, out
side atmosphere after these condl-
tions have been produced robs the
body of it's heat and is often followed
by serious complications. Let in
fresh air by throwing open doors and
windows when it becomes too warm
indoors.
Don't be in too great a hurry to
change to lightweight underclothing.
The outer wraps should be adapted
to changes in the temperatures.
The frost does not get out of the
ground on the first warm day and
children should not be allowed to sit
on the ground for some time, even If
the air is warm and balmy.
Now is the time to start some form
of outdoor recreation. Spading a gar
den and planting vegetables are two
of the best spring tonics yet devised.
incidentally a garden will aim blow
at the high cost of living.
Baseball, tennis, golf, fishing and
tramping are outdoor sports that
should be started as soon as the
weather permits. ..--
A little care in the diet will pre-
vent spring fever and that tired feel
ing so common to the first warm days.
Too much meat and heavy foods are
eaten at this season of the year.
Fresh fruits and vegetables which the
appetite Graves are hard to obtain
and out Of the reach of many pocket
books, but where they cannot be OBJ
tanned fresh the dried or canned vari-
cites may be used. 1t is a mistake to
eliminate them entirely from the bill
of fare. j.

PREPARED!

In ordering the secretary of the
navy to furnish guns and gunners
for American merchant ships and call.
ing an extra session Of Congress to
be ready to act promptly to meet
whatever eventualities may follow,
President Wilson performed two acts
which will meet with the approval OF
all loyal Americans.
Neither Of these acts will be ap-
proved by those persons, in or out Of
Office, who because of their proDGer-
man or pacifst sentiments. are will
ing to have American citizens and
American ships terrorized off the
seas. .....
II we are to judge by the tenor Of
editorial opinion in German-American
newspapers during the past few
weeks, the German.American press
will be unanimous in it's disapproval.
What the people of Germany will
say and think about the President
may be imagined when we read the
following, published in the Berlin
Lokal-Anzeiger. one of the leading
German newspapers, few days ago
referring to the Presidents inaugural
address:

MORE STATE AID FOR
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS

More state aid for the rural one
room, graded and graded consolidated
schools and closer supervision Of
such schools is provided for by House
Bill SO, introduced by J. C. Miller, at
the request of State Superintendent of
Public instruction Macdonald. and
signed Saturday by Governor Frazier.
The bill is considered by the state
superintendent to be one of the best
pieces of rural school legislation Of
which the North Dakota assembly ever
has acquitted itself.

INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY.

. The federal reserve banks in sew
eral districts are urging farmers to
increase their acreage with a view
! of replenisling the depleted world
food supply. If the United States be-
comes involved in the war, there will
be a greater demand for food prod
ucts.
4 A statement issued recently by the
Richmond, Va, reserve bank states
the situation briefly in the following:
I "The community of interest whicl
has always existed in the crop rails
ing districts of this country between
bankers and farmers has grown be
yond localities and has become coun'
try wide.
"Never within the memory of any
man has the veal or woe OF the world
been so dependent upon food produc
ton and distribution.
"All the energy and intelligence OF
the whole population should be
brought to bear upon these twin sub
ejcts in the current year
John II. Rich, chairman OF the
Ninth reserve district, urges the farm
ers of the northwest to go to the res
Icue of famine threatened humanity.
There is a worldwide food shortage
due to the war. In additiento this
cause, there have been seriolfs crop
failures within the last two years,
which have aggravated the situation.
Farmers can do much to cure the
food shortage If they only will.

Dear Sir:
read with some interest in yester,

that place. In discussing the crowd
ed condition of the hospital and the
need of a new building, Doctor Hotch.
kiss. made the following remarkable
statement:
"The taxation bugaboo is what is
keeping the state from providing a
new institution for the insane and
feeble minded. People think the sum
of 100000 is exhorbitant, but when
It comes to the per capita tax. 1t is
found it would make the tax only two
cents for each person in the state"
Doctor Hotchkiss' arithmetic is
somewhat at fault. The population
Of North Dakota, according to the
state census was 636,994 for 1915. The
increase during the past five years
has been 1888. Adding two years or
23,976 to the 1915 census we have
the total 660,970 as the population to-
day. At two cents apiece, this would
amount to $13,21940. AS matter Of
fact, 100000 would make a per CAPT.
ia tax of 6 ents or S305 for the aver
age family Of five persons. 1t would
be approximately 30 per cent OF the
total revenue of the state from direcr
taxation.

MANY. BILLS AFFECT
AGR|CULT URE-lAb0R
DEPARTMENT AFFAIRS
Most Important Measure Places
Farm Institute Work Under
Deputy Commissioner

Probably the most important OF a
number of bills passed by the recent
legislative assembly which affect the
Office Of commissioner OF agriculture
and labor is House Bill TIA, over
which Senator Hyland kicked up a
rumpus in the senate.
This measure removes farm lnsti-
tute work from the supervision or
the agricultural college and places it
in charge OF the deputy commissioner
OF agriculture and labor, who just at
this innocent is Lloyd RAIDER, formerly
of Dickinson. Deputy RAIDER has pow
er to name as many assistants as he
may need; to direct what the institute
work shall consist Of, but to see to it
that there is given respectfully such
instruction as will tend to promote
the best marketing conditions and
there is placed at his disposal an ap-
preparation of $4,000. Senator Hy-
land swatted this bill, after it had
passed the senate, on the ground that
it builds up much political power
the hands of the department of agri-
culture and labor. Neither Commits
sioner Hagan nor Deputy RAIDER, how
ever, is believed to have any danger
Gus political aspirations, so far a
they personally are concerned.
Directly or indirectly, the depart.
ment is interested in S. B. 1877, provid
ing contingent fund Of $4,000, In
which the department may share; s.
B. 314 creating uniform state grade
for wheat and other small grains, and
establishing the Office Of state inspec'
tor of grades; S. B. 1879, making it the
duty of the department to eradicate
barberry bushes as means Of pre-
venting rust; S. B. 234, 233 and 235,
relating to licenses for dairy prod
ucts; H. B. 121. repeating the immi'
grafton act of 1915; H. B. SO, making
the commissioner eX-ofticio chairman
of the public welfare commission
which is to prescribe the hours of la.
| Dor and minimum wages for women
and children; H. B. 240, making an
appropriation to meet deficit in the
stallion registration board; III. E. 23'
appropriating $1,000 for the encour
agement of immigration; Fl. b. S27
making an appropriation to assist
the state Dairymen's association in
holding it's annual conventions; and
H. B. 16S, making the commissioner
of agriculture and labor member OF
the state highway commission.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE NEXT HOUSE.

Party lines in the senate we're com.
pletely shattered by the armed neu.
trality bill. The percentage Of Repub.
licans in favor of that bill was almost
as high as the percentage of Demo.
Gratis.
incidentally it was not because the
house of representatives was over
whelmingly Democratic that the arm
ed neutrality bill went through the
lower branch. The Republicans there
likewise were in favor of it. Public
sentiment and not party politics reg.
ulated the two parties.
It is true that the two parties will
be closely balanced in the next house,
but so far as foreign affairs are con-
cerned. there can be no party issue.
The Republicans will be under the
same pressure to bring in rule linn.
iting debate on the armed neutrality
bill as were the Democrats. In the
light of criticism of the senate fill
buster, delay in the house at spe-
cial session is hardly to be expected.
Whichever party organizes the lower
branch, there will be quick action
there, and the probability is that the
senate, with each man having an op.
portunity to be heard briefly, will fall
into line.-Washington Post.
