Amendments To Constitution
To Be Placed On The Ballot
Proposed Amendments To The Constitution Of North
Dakota Placed On Ballot And Voted On

The Non-Partisan League has
launched a movement to amend the
constitution of North Dakota, and
petitions are now being circulated
through the state to have the pro-
posed amendments placed on the
ballot and voted on at the general
election this fall.
The amendments proposed are
the same as those embodied in
House Bill No. a., introduced at
the 1917 session of the Legislative
Assembly. This bill passed the
House but was defeated in the SEN
ate. 1t will require approximately
25,OO0 signers to have the amend
ments submitted to the voters.
AS the Nom partisan League have
placed their organization behind
the movement it is expected that
the petitions will receive the neccs.
sary signers in a short time. II
the amendments are adopted by the
voters they will have to be ratified
at the next session of the legislature
and will then become law.
AS to the advisability of amend
ing the constitution there is wide
difference of opinion, but no harm
can come from submitting the ques-
tion to the voters at large. II the
majority favors the proposed chang
es they will be made. Ii not for
the best interests of the state action
will no doubt be AIKEN later for
speedy repeal when the people a.
wake to the dangers they are liable
to, after the fundamental safeguards
guaranteed by the present constitu-
ton are removed.
Following are the ten suggested
amendments:

The Sioux county Local Board
yesterday morning sent two more
men to Fort Logan, Colorado.
They were George Santee and George
Rrdfox. Indian boys Of the Porcu.

for immediate voluntary induction
in the army. They came over from
Shields Tuesday with Chas. Duffy,
accompanied by Jack Ironbowlder,
who went with the boys to McLaugh-
lin, and returned home from there.
With these two there are now 80

considering that Sioux county has
the smallest population Of any in
the state.
