state officials will be required to do with.
out their salaries for one month";" said
one member of Governor Frazier's ad-
ministration, when discussing the spec-
ial session.
"Tax collections are now coming in a
fairly satisfactory way, and we are meet
ing current expenses, but we have al
most half a million in accumulated ex-
penses to pay and this special session is
a new item of expense which was not
anticipated ror included in our budget.
In budgeting expensesfor this bienniu m
we assess taxes which would bring us
about Sl2O.O00 in excess of what seemed
to be our actual requirements. That
margin is pretty we'll shot to pieces now,
and l see big deficit staring us in the
face next fall. A deficit is poor thing
to 60 to the voters with.
II don't see how the state is going to
arm and equip home guard. 1t would
cost about million dollars and there
isn't that much money in the world, so
far as we are concerned"

LEGISLATURE CALLED.

The Governor has called q special ses-
sion Of the legislature to meet Jan. 22nd.
Just why it is necessary to call a special
session is hardly explainable by the only
reason given by the Governor, which is
that some farmers out west need seed
wheat. This fact is perhaps true enough
but legislature is considerable expense
itself and its cost would buy lot of seed
wheat.
There is no doubt however, of the set
tied opinion Of the taxpayers in all states
that extra sessions of the state legisla-
ture should only be called for very grave
and extraordinary reasons. Once, prac-
tically all states had annual sessions of
the legislatures but in later years most
states have made the sessions biennial.
The feeling being that we suffer more
from excess legislation than for want of
it.
The Governor has however assumed
the responsibility and doubtless in his
message to the Legislature he will show
what grave and important reasons have
called them together. We will await
that announcement with curiosity and
interest.
Undou btedly there will be consider
able political medicine" made at this
pow-wow. There will be plenty of mat
erial. Broadly speaking the Nonparti-
san crowd will have to be guided very
carefully or they may strike mine,
while on the other hand the United
States forces will have only to act on the
defensive. Kaiser Townley is taking
some big chances with legilature that
under the law has no limit as to length
of session and which can consider, make
laws, or investigate as tpleases.
The story is going in the state papers
that the treasury has run dry under this
Nonpartisan administration and these
Legislators when convened may ask from
what source their pay is coming? The
news from Bismarck is very likely to be
of considerable interest for the next few
weeks. politically and otherwise.
While the general lineup will perhaps
not be very different than in the last ses-
sion, wnen the Nonpartisans only con-
trolled the lower House yet since that
time the government has arbitrarily re-
moved some prominent issues as to food
products, elevators and railroads. On
the other hand the war has forced many
new issues and 1T will be somewhat in
teresting to see how these latter will af-
feet the original partisan lines if at all,
We shall see what we shall see.

"CORN-SERvATION?"

Food man Hoover asks the households
er to use substitutes for wheat -four
meat, sugar etc. He says that we must
divide our food products with our friends
across the seas. He also says that food
in the form of -four, meat and sugar can
be shipped much more easily than can
the substitutes of which latter we have
a great abundance in America. He asks
the American publlc to use corn meal in
place Of wheat -four or oat, rye and bar
ley meals.
Now all this is good advise as war
measure, or as a charity to the people of
Europe. Their is no doubt Of their
needs, their is no doubt of the willing
ness of the average householder to sub
stltute, especially as the most of the
substitutes recommended are palatable
and already favorite articles on the din
ing tables of the public.
But after all, the greatest incentive to
conservation" In food is the pocket
book. The high cost Of living which
makes for econmy and for substitute,
is the prime factor which causes the
householder to think when he takes
sugar in his tea or reaches for the but.
ter plate. He takes just little less of
each than usual because he remembers
the cost rather than the necessities of
the poor people of Europe.
But here is problem which needs be
solved before we can conserve and sub
stitute with very much freedom. 10.
day in Pembina, North Dakota, the
householder may buy pound of -four
(by the sack) for about six and half
cents. To-day, in Pembina, North. Dak-
ota we must pay seven and half cents
for pound Of corn meal. Oats and rye
meal products bear the same relative
price az the corn meal, Well not only
this, but the housewife tells the writer
that when one cooks -four into bread
that there need be but little addition ex
cept some water and yeast and a little
salt. But she also tells me when she
makes corn bread that she must add
some fat, some milk, and to make it
right also add an egg or two.
While We do not know certainly the
comparative chemical constituents Of
the two sorts pi bread when cooked,
from what We have eaten in the course
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1918-01-18
first cost, the need additions and actual
food value, and giving these the actual

first cost, the need additions and actual
food value, and giving these the actual
money value, it would appear that corn
is considerably more costly than wheat
-four and therefore it is asking quite a
cash contribution from the householder
to take corn meal to his table to- "help
win the war" and the amount should be
duly placed to his credit in tbs archives
accordingly. "He is also doing his
bite.
All this the more remarks BILE because
of the fact that wheat is selling at tho
government fixed price of $500 bushel
while corn is running in the Twin City
markets from 81. Is to e15O for bushel
that only lacks four pounds Of the wheat
bushel.
1t always seemed to US by observation.
that the milling of corn meal was COM
paratively simple operation in contrast
to the milling of wheat. Perhaps we
are mistaken in this under modern pro
cesses, but at one time, the corn was
ground in any little old country water
mill.
Will Mr.. Hoover or Prof. Ladd his
able coajutant in this state, tell US why
these things are so, and how they can
expect people to be induced to
pay about eight or nine cents pound
eggs, fat and sugar included in the corn
pone and leave the cheap six and half
cent flour for our poor friends over the
water.
