NORTH. DAKOTA'S RECORD

In a pinch one certain county of North Oak
ota could take its entire population automobile
riding at once in it's own machines. For, con-
sidering men, women, children and babes in
arms, Burke county, N. D., has one automobile
for every ten persons. The average for the
United States on January 1, 1916. was one
machine to every forty persons. Tn estimated
proportion for the New Year close at hand is 1
to 70. For the state with the highest record we
must go back to the farm belt once more. In
January of the present year, Iowa held one
machine to every fourteen persons.
The rate of increase in number of automo-
bi)es in the farm states for the last recorded
period is even more startling. In Oklahama
the increase for the year 1916, as compared with
1915, was approximately $50 per cent. In Miss.
issippi it was 1873 per cent, in Louisiana 21O per
cent, and in Idaho III per cent.
The moral seems to be that for the average
man prosperity dwells in the country. This
conclusion is re inforced by the fact that North
Dakota leads all states in the proportion of its
home owners. According to recently compiled
figures from Bismarck, 80 per cent of the inhab-
itants of the great wheat state own the roofs
under which they live. There is no Submerged
TENTH in North Dakota. There are no heart
breaking social problems such as torment the
metropolitan centers and manufacturing com
munities. North Dakota economically is what
the rest of America should be. Even in politics
North Dakota has broken itself free from. the
conventional machinery which lies so heavily
upon the necks of many, if not most. of the
states. If North Dakota is a proud state, who can
maintain that her pride is not warranted?-St
Paul Dispatch.

When the Courant expressed the hope that
there would not be any serious breach between
the Equity and the League, who should, and
always have, worked hand in hand,'' the
Omemee Herald seized upon this as an attack
upon the League, or the Equity, or both-we
have not been able to ~analyze it's opaque COM
ments. The fact that no breach between the
League and the Equity did occur is what is an
noying Matt, and not what the Courant stated
in the premises.

Surprising you had a peanut stand twenty
five miles from a railroad, ten miles from the
nearest building and five miles from the main
travelled road. Would you yell Peanuts, pea
nuts at the top of your voice with no chance
of anybody hearing you? No, you would not do
anything of the kind, because you know you
wouldn't get results. You would jump into
your little old Ford and beat it to the nearest
newspaper, take out a half page ad, hike back
to your peanut stand and await results. With
out a doubt you would sell your peanuts the
next day after the paper was issued. If you can
sell peanuts under the conditions above stated,
why can't you increase your business by a
liberal amount of advertising space? People
often give as an excuse for not advertising, Il
can't afford it," Those people don't sell many
peanuts, take it from us.-Ex.

The Grand Forks Herald becomes extremely
]facetious over the proposed constitutional con-
vention and wants to know the necessity for
such a procedure. According to the Herald, the
new supreme court could uphold as constitution
al any and all measures passed by the legisla-
tive assembly. thus making a revision of the
constitution wholly unnecessary. Of course the
Herald knows better. Its editor is a man of in
telli gence, although not always permitted by his
employer to use this intelligence. The Herald
knows of all the trials and vicissitudes of the ter.
minal elevator amendment before it was finally
adopted as a part of the constitution. 1t knows
that if the state is to establish flour mills. pack
ing plants, cold storages, etc., it will be necess-
airy to pass through the same tedious process,
unless the constitution is revised 80 as to pro-
vide for such enterprises on the part of the
state. 1t takes no supreme court to determine
that a law providing for these undertakings
under existing conditions would be clearly un-
constitutional. And the new supreme court,
which the Herald is so studiously showing it's
contempt for, could not do otherwise than so
rule.

The Omemee Herald apparently swallowed
with a relish that bear story of the Grand Forks
Herald to the effect that the Nonpartisan League
has leased the entire Northwest Hotel at Bis
mark, Matt even amplifes upon the fable by in
that the Legislative members of the
league persuasion will not be permitted to stay

and Jerry Bacon in the role of political soul

1t might be we'll to remind those who view
with holy horror the proposition of a CONSTITUTE
ional convention, that the constitution is made
for the people, and not the people for the con-
stitution. TO provide an easier method for the
people of the state to express their wants and
desires is the object of the constitutional con
%vention, as we understand it. If the people can
no longer be trusted, a state constitution
counts for little, whatever it's limitations may
be.

BONDING COUNTY OFFICERS.

This is the season Of the year when trust
nd bonding companies reap their annual mar
est in North Dakota. The public officials elect
| in the recent election, and who assume office
ne first of the year, are now required to give
onds in various sums for the faithful perform
ance of their duties.'
At the time when it was attempted to pass
a law providing for a state bonding department
there were charges Of collision on the part OF
the various bonding companies doing business
in North Dakota. This charge was vigorously
denied.
An interesting sidelight on the situation is
brought forth in the published proceedings Of
the board of county commissioners for Ramsey
county on Dec. 10. Bids were offered fora fur
nishing Of the county officers bonds for Ramsey
county. Six companies rendered bids.
The Middle west Loan & Trust Company
offered to take chances on the honesty or the
Ramsey county officials for the sum of $lO94.
When the bid of the Maryland Casualty
Company was opened it was found that this
oncern had figured the moral hazard' the
anne way, their bid also being 1904.
The bid of the American Surety Company
was identical.
So was that of the Northern Trust Company.
And also that of the Dakota Trust Company.
Likewise that OF the trust
Company.
Just how the commissioners felt when they
opened six supposedly competitive bids and
found that these were identical to the
cent, deponent sayeth not. There was really
nothing to do. The trust companies were
apparently living right up to their name. And
the 1904 were divided equally between the four
North Dakota companies involved in the bid
so as to at least keep the money in North
Dakota.
The Ramsey County experience is no differ
ent than that of any other county in the state.
Bottineau county is, of course. up against the
same kind of a "~trust.'
Yesterday the Bottineau county board open
ed sealed bids for bonding the officers of the
county. Nine bids were presented and EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF H NINE BIDS
WAS FOR $1196.
It would be interesting to know just how
much money the trust companies have been
called upon to pay over for defaulting public
officials in North Dakota. And it would be still
more interesting to compile figures to show
what enormous sums have been paid out for
this protection.
Perhaps the results would disclose the
possibility of revising the "mortuary table,
used by the trust companies-or the ACCESSIBILITY
of a state bonding department that the supreme
court could not kick holes through.
