LEGISLATIVE NOTES 6
o 9 9 O @ o O 8 O O @ O @ @ 8
Expense Increasing

The administrative expense of the
state, for the coming two years, as
recommended by the budget board,
will be 100000 greater this biennial
term than the last. The various de-
partments have asked for $3.50, 7O7,
and the budget board has recon-
mended $872,236. The increased cost
of all supplies, the additional two tax
commissioners and a few other items
which have necessarily entered into
the high cost of living of the state
are responsible for the increase.
Killed Martins Bill
Several days ago Senator Martin,
Of Morton, introduced a bill calling for
two years instead of one for the re-
demption of mortgaged property.
The bill came up for passage a few
days ago, when it was indefinitely
postponed by a vote of 81 to 20. The
senate considered that one year was
long enough after foreclosure.
Highways Committee Busy
There promises to be a great deal
of legislation, or at least some i'm
p%ortant bills, on highways. Senator
Ellingson, chairman of the committee
on highways, is an enthusiast on road
Improvement, and is busy looking up
the question of what can be done.
There is quite a general feeling
among the legislators that the fee for
automobiles should be raised to SIS,
instead of being left at SO, as it now
is. If this is done, the fund for this
work will be given quite a boost and
over $4,000 will be available for
highways.
Street Railway Question
The budget board has recommended
that the legislature abolish the CAPT.
toll street car service, claiming, upon
Instructions from the attorney gen
eral, that the creation of it was I'M
constitutional and that the state has
no right to engage in the business.
This service has been questioned for
several years, but it is feared the
matter received a fatal blow when the
paving was ordered in Bismarck.
The franchise granted to the state
by the city provides that the state
shall pay for paving between the
rails and eighteen inches outside each
ld1. 1Illo WILL COoC dUOuC p4U,UUU.
This, in addition to the deficit of
about $4,000 a year in operating the
car line, makes the service prohibitive
in the minds of some. But the sub
ject took a new turn the other day,
when prominent League members
stated that they had no thought of
abandoning the service. They stated
that this was the first state owned
utility and they saw no reason why
it should be abandoned, as that would
be an acknowledgment of a lack of
faith in their own policy. A plan is
being worked out to extend the line
to the ~penitentiary and to generate
the power for it from that institution
instead of from the present power
house at the capitol. 1t is pointed out
that with an extension Of tracks, in
the city and to the pen, and later to
Mandan, when the wagon bridge is
built, there will be a demand which
will make the service not only self
supporting but paying.

DREAMS A GOOD TEST
OF NEED OF SLEEP
When Dealing With Work Of the Day
They Are Not Rcstrul; Rambling
Kind ResafiiI.

Dreams are good test of the need
of sleep, and many times answer the
question OF overwork or idleness. ac-
cording to DR.. Percy G.. stiles who
spoke at the Harvard Medical School
on "Sleep."
1T is possible to judge by ones
dreams whether one needs sleep" he
said. III the dreams are of a ramb-
ling variety, the kind that seem to
pop from nowhere or anywhere. II is
pretty good sign that you are not
overtired. On the other hand, II the
days dreams are a continuation of
the days worries the chances are that
you are overtired. Dreams remote
from the days work are a vacation
but dreams connected with the days
work are overtime.
ITO go to sleep get the body and
mind comfortable The body Is easier
to make comfortable than the mind.
A rundown. bath and a little bit to
eat help bring that about. To com.
pose the mind read some familiar
hook or poetry. That soothes the
mind. for no exertion Is necessary to
read it."
DR.. stiles said that the heaviest
sleep generally comes about an hour
after sleep begins.
