INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
At THE STATE CAPITAL

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 23.-After
fourteen days filled with thrilling
and nerve wracking scenes, when po-
litical vindictiveness and radicalism
ran rampant and uncontrolled, when
constitutional pre- e d Tents were
brushed aside as chaff, and laws maxi
ing secure an autocratic control of
the state and it's people We're forced
into being by means of the whip,
the secret caucus and political CHI
canery and trickery, the Frazier
"Facilitation" special assembly of
the North Dakota legislature came to
a close at 9 o'clock Thursday night.
Among the greatest of the "facil-
itation" measures passed and acts
consummated were:
The reduction of the Office of the
attorney general to a name only and
almost impotency as regards future
action; the stripping of powers from
the auditor and secretary of state;
the camouf1aged passage of 25 per
cent decrease in taxes which will not
make a $500 difference per quarter
section anywhere in the state; the
giving to the state board of admins
tration the power to pick which SOL
diers shall be paid bonuses and which
shall not according to their political
allegiance; the admission by passage
of resolutions only aimed against
LANCER, that the league leaders dare
not bring impeachment charges, but
only dare pass slanderous resolu-
tions - knowing full we'll that the
members of legislative body are
immune from suit or redress; the
giving to the governor of the power
to seize any or all private industries
in the state through constabulary
system into which he can call all
males from IS to As years of age.
All this and more was perpetrated
on the people of North Dakota. How
ever it has been remarked that 81
members of the house and 32 mem
bers of the senate wrote their poll
tical death warrants every time they
voted for the punitive measures or
the laws creating an absolute autoc-
racy. ..{.
In all 11S measures were intro
duced in the two houses of which 72
were enacted into law.
Among the more important were:
Passed bill amending or re-en-
acting the absent voters law so that
all voters, men and women, residing
more than a half mile from the poll
ing place can use the absent voters
ballot. Ostensibly providing that the
women with families, the sick or
busy, need not go to the polls, it
allows representatives of the Non
partisan league, but not Republicans
or Democrats to call ON voters, aid
them in marking the ballot. In
short it provides the machinery
whereby the league can send an or
ganizer into every precinct of the

the ballots and know how they are
marked, thus gaining a check on
whether farmers are faithful to their
$1,000 investment.
Cut the state taxes except the hail
tax and the soldiers bonus levy 25
percent. This does not affect the
county tax, and will not mean 50
reduction anywhere in the state.
Amended the soldiers bonus act
raising the levy from one-half to
three-quarters of a mill, providing
that money can be used for purchase
of tools of craft or trade, invest
ment in business or other purposes,
but inserting joker that the board
of administration shall say who shall
be entitled to priority payment.
Created the job of state sheriff
with two deputies, whose duties shall
be to see that all sheriffs and county
officials enforce the law, but more
especially to serve as special adju-
tant and political strong-arm bouncer
for the governor and head of a state
constabulary. To this state sheriff is
transferred the state license depart
ment, which under the attorney gen.
eral has had control and regulation
of pool halls. This transfer was bit
terly opposed by Mrs. Preston-Ander-
son and others of the w. C. r. U. and
the North Dakota Law Enforcement
League and the churchmen's organi-
cations.
Created a state investigation COM
mittee to dig up political thunder
for the Courier-News, Grand Forks
American and other Townleyized pa
pers inasmuch as it gives the COM
mission the power to demand any or
all personal books, papers or other
property and provides a fine of $500
or year in the penitentiary for any
who refuses to disclose information.
This bill is aimed particularly at the
offices of LANCER, Hall and Kositzky.
However, it's jokers provide the legal
machinery for raids on the office of
any private person, individual or
corporation.
Created the liar law, whereby any
person employed by the state who
shall make false statement is
guilty of a felony. Or as Speaker
Stair analyzed the law, Zone who
exaggerates is a booster, but one who
doesn't is liaHIts Tha. degree If. the
falsity is not considered; if the state
ment is against the political chican-
cry of the league, felon's cell awaits
him. This law is aimed to effectu-
ally gag any insurgents in the league.
Clipped the wings and tied the
hands of the attorney general by Civ
ing the governor the power to name
|all special assistants attorney gen.
eral; cut the attorney general from
six to two assistants and two steno-
graphers, transferred the license de-
partment to the state sheriff, left the
attorney general by the budget slash
less than $4,000 to pay his own sal
ary, that of his assistants and two
stenographers and all printing and
other expenses during the balance of
his tenure of office.

DON'T DO IT, MR.. WILSON.

The retiring attorney general, Mr.. Gregory,
IS final act of office, recommended to Presi-
dent Wilson the Communication of sentences i'm
posed en- many pro-Germans during the war. We
hope President Wilson will turn d deaf ear to this
recommendation
There ought to be no room in this country
for any whose actions while
America at death grapple with foe, were
I'D. above reproach. Every alien who committed
serious offense should be deported aid forever
forbidden the privileges of this land. Those who
:lc-ed in less serious manner, but still against
the best for America, should be made to feel the
hand OF re.ribution, in uncertain terms.
Many of those who committed minor Offenses
seek excuse and communication of sentence, on the
ground that they were. the tools of others,
who were more malicious. Ignorance of the law
has never been an excuse for crime INSIDE
naeanor. The law governing the psychology of
repetition, shows that acts once Committed, are
likely to be repeated again. Let us be firm and
not yield to sentiment, now the danger is past
and the evil may be hidden!

SANITARY NOTES
METHODS OF INSPECTION.

Like all successful procedures. the
inspection of restaurants and other
places where food or drink is handled
should be conducted under a very
definite and we'll planned system.
This means that everything done
should have a reasonable basis. The
inspector must have a certain kin.l Of
personality suitable t. his task in ad-
dition to complete knowledge of
what he should do He must first of
all be able to establish himself as a
friend In the truest sense Of the word.
An inspector is more than an officer
who has the power to enforce the laws
which were made to protect the health.
of people. He is a teacher and in this
capacity he can help many proprietors
make improvements which work to
the decided advantage of all parties.
He poses as an expert along these
lines SO that he spreads information all
along the line on what is going on in
the trade not only in town but In other
places he reads about or possibly
visits.
BY getting the food people with him
he will tighten his labors and double
his usefulness.
Any inspector looks for certain
things unconsciously when he enters
place. The better an inspector he
is the more things he sees. If he has
a good memory for detail it is amaz-
ing how much can be carried in his
memory. But there is a limit to the
best, especially when many different
places must be seen daily Hence a
score card system whereby all details
are passed upon in an exact order is
much favored. This makes every pro-
pr1etor know that his place Of bust
ness must have been gone over from
the same point of view as those of his
rivals. The inspector has a better rec
ord to fall back upon. It stimulates
rivalry Of healthy nature because
by publishing all scores once a month
the public comes to know who is near
est to the standard

JUST LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.

1t looks as though young and lusty Jugo-Slavia
has curdled the cream at the peace feast.
The new nation seems possessed of too high an
estimate of it's own Importance. Because the al
lies recognized it's independence and treated it
as the pet child of the peace conference, it fol-
lowed the course common to spoiled children and
took unwarranted liberties.
It's open violence at Liabach was without JUS
tification and Italy's retaliation in closing the
frontier has further added to the complication.
The act of Jugo-Slavia is looked upon in Paris
as disregarding the warning of the big powers
against all violence to obtain territory in dis
pute. Furthermore the Laibach incident is call
ed inconsistent with the appeal of Jugo-Slavia to
President Wilson to act as arbitrator. American
sympathy is not increased by this new complica-
ton and attention is drawn to the fact that the
American determination not to furnish money,
supplies or food to enable any county to wage
war, applies to Jugo-Slavia well as to any
other nation.
Even the most loving parents, when they are
in earnest, have way of checking unruly chill
dren and it would not be surprising if the mater
nal slipper is applied to little Jugo-Slava and she
is sent to bed without her supper until she
promises to be good.

TRUE PUBLIC SERVICE.


To all who did brave share in winning the
great war, medals of honor or marks of dlstlnc-
ton cannot be given. Many must find their re-
of their countrymen.
Among these and conspicuous among them,
must be reckoned the newspapers of the United
States. Not alone those which refrained from
hating criticism of obvious mistakes, but those
which ungrudgingly gave their space to spread
BIZ oadcast the various phases of the govern
ment's propaganda.
It is not too much to say--looking backward
that there could never have been that complete
understanding of many of the governments acts
which placed irritating restrictions upon the pec-
ple had it not been for the widespread publicity
given by the newspapers to every explanation by
the government officials.
Only through the newspapers could Mr.. Hoov-
CIR hav: brought the people to see the Importance
of his purpose to save food at whatever indi-
vidual sacrifice. Only through publicity was
Doctor Garfield enabled to make known The dire
need of conservation and increased production of
coal. And so it was with all departments--with-
out the newspapers to carry their propaganda
into the remotest corners of the nation. their
tasks would have been well-nigh impossible.
No government activity-out of the few that
have been carried over from war to peace-is
more reliant upon the educative force of the
newspapers than the U. S. Public Health Service
in it's campaign against the veneral diseases. The
bane of the menace of these diseases is the old
secrecy that has been maintained about them.
Through it's Division of Venereal Diseases, hun
dreds Of thousands of pamphlets have been circu-
lated containing the truth about the prevalence
of these diseases, but these have reached only
selected individuals. To reach the great public,
in whose power it lies, when once aroused, to
rect the ill, the newspapers were necessary. And
most nobly, generously and with true patriotism
have they responded.
A noted physician has said that if the ven
ereal diseases only showed plainly the infected
person, as smallpox measles or leprosy show
the world would be in arms against them. But
they are hidden, just discussion about them
has been hidden, and in the Indifferent ignorance
of innocent people they have been allowed to
spread running homes, rendering industrial work
inefficient, destroying family life; causing
told suffering to innocent mothers, slaughtering
and binding babies.
But now the newspapers are coming whole
heartedly to the aid of the government and slow
ly but surely the facts are being taught. Never
before was the true power of the press more bril-
liantly displayed; never before have the news
papers of America had larger more splendid
opportunity for true public service.-U. S. Pub
