ACT ON BILL A
Concurrent Resolution Will Be
Reported Out Without Re-
commentator
NOW BEING TAKEN UP
SECTION BY SECTION

House Bill No. 44-Representative
Hagan's concurrent resolution for the
submission to the voters June q of
a new cOnstitutiOn-Will be reported
out by the committee on state affairs
without recommendation and the
house will pass upon the measure as
committee Of the whole.
I'VE are taking up the bill section
by section" said a member of the
state affairs committee today, "and we
probably will not be ready to report
it out short OF two or three days.
Then we will let the bill come before
the house as a committee Of the whole
without recommendations. The COM
mittee to date has been unable to ar
rive at any decision"
Some Interesting Changes
Now that house bill No. Al has been
printed and generally distributed,
some interesting phases of the pro-
posed constitut ton. are cropping out.
For instance, Section 1874 of the pro-
posed constitution. which supplants
Section 1873 of the present constitu-
ton, reads simply: mo corporation
shall issue stocks or bonds except for
money, labor done or money or prop
erty actually received, and all ficti-
tious increase of stock or indebted
ness shall be void" The present
clause reads more specifically: "Thc
stock and Indebtedness Of corpora.
lions shall not be increased except In
pursuance Of general law, nor without
the consent Of tho persons holding the
larger amount In value Of the stock
first obtained at Il meeting to be held
after sixty days notice given In pur.
Suancc Of law. Those versed in cor
pOration law hold that this change
is very important one. vesting al
most unlimited power in any small
faction which may have temporary
control Of corporation; removing
any restriction upon an increase in
stock at any time those in control
may deem i. advisable, and not pro-
hibiting the making of such an in
crease without notification to and APP
prevail Of the majority of stockholders.
Public Institutions
Sec. POP. Article 20, of the proposed
providing for the loca-
ton of public institutions. seems to be
very short and to the point. 1t reads:
"All public institutions of the state
shall be and remain as now located by
law, and all lands granted to any
shall be and remain the
thereof"
Public institutions heretofore have
been located by constitutional provis-
ion or nendment Whether the
term, "as now located by law" takes
in sufficient territory remains to be
seen. INSTITUTIONAL towns are wonder
ing. ~ i

Bismarck Tribune,
Dear Sirs:
Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. II, 1917.
In reply to an article in the Tribune
Jan. 18th, on the Hall case, I will say
think the people of Bismarck know
where stand on prohibition. In the
first place Hall was brought before me
on a warrant sworn out by Attorney
General Linde and placed under $500
bond Time of trial set for Dec. 26,
1916. was informed at that time by
Linde, a change of venue had been
taken to Justice Beery's court.
Hall was again arrested on a war
rant sworn out by F. E. McCurdy.
bonds for $500 satisfied and time for
trial set 10 a. m. Jan. Is, 1917. at
which time l was informed that Hall
had plead guilty and was sentenced
by Judge Nuessle. The article refer
red to places me in a bad light, which
I feel is uncalled for and ungenerous
to say the least.
J. o. Varney,
Justice.
Editors Note: In the editorial OBJ
jected to only one reference was made
to Justice Varney and that was that
he was forced to dismiss the action.
A legal technicality was raised and
there was no alternative. There was
no intent to reflect on Justice Varney,
but the Tribune still holds firmly to
the belief that rs soon as>North Da-
kota wipes out its petty courts, the
better for the cause Of justice.

BEHIND THE PEACE MOVE.

The idea prevails quite generally
in America that Germany's peace
propositions are due to short rations;
that Britain's policy of starving her
out" is beginning to tell in very Sc
rious degree. But isn't there some,
thing else in it? The common people
OF Germany may be hungry, but isn't
the element ordinarily devoted to pur'
suit Of the almighty dollar, or the in
huential sovereign, a mighty sight
hungrier?
= Business is business. Keep this in
mind while we give you some figures
on Germany's before-the-war business
with the outside world. from which
!sllss has now been completely cut of
1Sra9Ser two years.
.sS$l6 A9l2, Germany shipped to Great
Britain goods worth, In round mum.
bers. $685., 100000 and imported from
her .$195, 100000, a neat little trade
balance for Germany Of $144.0O0,O00;
total business, $685., 100000. The same
year, her total of business in manu-
leasees and other products totaled
F3l7S,34O, 900 with the United States,
312,oOO,OO0 with Australia and $751;
900, 900 with Canda. Here's a total
OF, $1,05G, 100000 worth of business,
with all the countries of the world
not Just named not included.
What would happen in our own
country IL this enormous volume Of
business were suddenly cut ont?
Why, II the business element in
Germany isn't cussing the war and
exercising its pull on the kaiser for
peace, It is the tamest, most self-sac-
rificing element of the sort that any
nation ever possessed. 1t is disabus
ing the world OF the idea that there's
no sentiment in business, or that
money talks.

VICTORY FOR COURT

In celebration of the victory. Mrs.
Ward Simpson, prominent suffrage
worker of Minneapolis, this afternoon
addressed the Tri-State Grain Grow
crs' convention now in session in Far
go. The speech had been planned
for weeks, but the committee which
made the arrangements had no idea
that the date chosen would prove so
suspicious. A much Stcrner fight in
the legislative assembly had been
generally expected.
Mean Many More Votes
1t is predicted that when these two
measures become effective at least
forty per cent will have been added
to North Dakota's voting strength. If
this proves true, it probably will mean
two more congressional districts for
the state, as the apportionment in the
present districts is now near the max
imum. "Practically all Of the wom-
ems organizations of the state have
endorsed suffrage" said President
Clendcnnng today. II am Quite sure
that practically every woman will
avail herself of the right when it
comes"

WEN you PLANT THINGS.

Pretty soon you'll smell in the
breeze from the south an odor OF
freshness, greenness, renewed life.
The ground will begin to look soft.
A warm rain will set everything to

and the sun will feel awfully comfort
able Then you'll be wanting to take
your spade and plant something in
the yard. u
The Chances !are that Your sole
thought in planting will be to beautify
your place bit, but that isn't one
per cent OF the total interest in plant
ing things.
When you set out plant you
start great mystery that all the
scientists of all time haven't solved.
How does your young tree, or shrub,
or other plant grow upward, thus de.
flying gravitation? When you've fail.
ed to think out the answer to this,
give some logic in denying knowledge
to plants.
- A plant, like an animal, seeks It's
food-air. water, sunshine. Put water
and fertilizer on one side of your
little geranium only. Very good, the
geranium's roots will 60 over there
only and get the water and fertilizer,
just as your dog regularly visits your
neighbor's garbage can. How does
the little plant know where to go for
food?
Turn your ivy's leaves to the wall
Very good, in short time the l.
has turned those leaves back towart
the sun. Observe your Gamma It viii
send one leaf straight up toward the
sun and bend the leaf on the other
side SO that both leaves get all thu
sunlight possible. -.s
Did you see that your tulips poked
their tender noses right up through
hard. frozen ground? How? And
put pumpkin seed little way under

TWENTIETH EPISODE
Loves Reward

The mystery Of mysteries, the mys-
terry that envelops every other, Is the
mystery of life and its negative, death.
Pierpont Stafford had given his daugh-
ter Gloria what the penniless Trask
had given his daughter Nell, life, the
same all beginning, all necessary gift
Of Judge Freeman to his daughter
Lois. a
Through the .existences Of these
three daughters Richard Freneau had
wandered like handsome Don Juan,
wrapping each in romance and grief,
as in q crimson cloak with a black
lining. At Palm Beach he had flirted
with Lois Freeman and won the child
heart of Gloria Stafford. Gloria's IA
Their had wisely snatched her away
from his spell and sent her to school
for five years before she should enter
the school Of life.
In that long interlude Dick Freneau's
frivolous heart had gone butterfying
hither and yon. In his humber days
