SPECIAL SESSION UNDER WAY

The Governors special session of the
legislature is under way. In his pro-
clamation, he asked three things: rat
ification Of women's suffrage, relief
for drouth-stricken farmers, and ad.
ditional laws to make operative the
leagues industrial efforts.
The time for introduction of bills
has gone by. And the only bill rela-
tive to "drouth-stricken farmers" is
one to allow them until Dec. 1st to
pay half their taxes. There is also
a bill introduced by member of the
minority allowing payment of taxes
by post-dated check. However, this
measure seems to be merely in the
nature of sarcastic comment on the
ruling of three league members of the
supreme court that post-datad checks
are perfectly valid collateral, which
ruling was necessary to save the
Scandinavian-American State Bank
when it was found to hav loaned leag-
ue enterprises half million mostly
on post-dated checks and unsecured
notes.
Instead Of cutting down on expense.
it seems that money spending is to be
speeded up. The eague is behind a
$4,000 appropriation for the highway
commission, of whom Judge Robinson
says 80 per cent of finances under their
control are squandered, and 20 per
cent goes on the roads.
Bills have been introduced to give
LANCER, Hall and Kozitsky the same
dose that Minnie Nelson got. Bills
have been introduced to give the gov
ernor political committee to help
beat out league opposition during the
coming campaign. The committee is
to have practically unlimited inquisi-
torial authority.
Taken all n all, the league efforts
are likely to even surpass the rough
stuff put across last winter.

That Brnton, Townley G. Co., sole die
tators of the Consumers United Stores
company, did a get-from m-under stunt
when they turned the stores of the
concern over to the farmers and is
sued stock in lieu of the certificates
to do business with the stores, is the
news which has come to light in the
past few days. From the lips of a
man formerly high in the favor of the
ehieftains of the Order of the Post
datel Check, and whose name will not
be made public for various reasons,
comes the prediction that the Con-
sumers United Stores Company will
be defunct within two months. 1t is
learned from this thoroughly reliable
source that in several places the stores
have cut down their help to one man.
Failure to raise money with which to
put in sufficient stock for the pur-
chasers to select goods from, appears
to be the reason for the conditions.

Socialism is dead!"

So said the miners, that is the ma.
jority of them, and the train crew Of
the mine special at Wilton, which Sat.
urday staged an "Armistice Day" ceL
ebration all Of it's own over the clos
ing of the industrial war.
When the mine special train ran
back into Wilton Saturday afternoon
an improvised fiagpole was nailed tn
the pilot Of the engine while nailed to
the pole and at half mast was a red
flag.
The news Of the supreme courts
refusal to grant William Lemke's pc
tition for writ Of prohibition against
Judge Nuessle, was received with an
enthusiasm that was further height
ened by the report of the govern
ment's settlement of the mine strike
Miners and members Of the train
crew devised the "Red Flag at Hall
Mast" exhibit as token of their sat
isfaction that Socialism is Dead"
In this connection it is interesting
to note further that at meeting of
the miners last Friday night at Wilton
the vote stood 72 for remaining at
work for the state and 142 in favor
of returning to work for the operating
company.

ROBINSON STIRS UP THE AMI
MAILS.
Surrcme Court Justice Isn't Fooiing
When He Goes After League For
Foolish Extravaganza.

Judge Robinson is bucking the tiger
n great shape in Bismarck these days.
Though a Lacquer, and, as such, for
two years to be found strong for
Townley, Lcmke and the league meth
DDS, Robinson it seems signed n state
ment during his campaign for election
promising reduction Of taxes. He
finds now his promise was regular
joke and that his gang are hell-bent
the other way. He is trying to put
on thu brakes, and is carrying his fight
dinsct to the members of the legisla-
ture. Saturday, the legislature re-
fused to allow him to address them in
Joint session, but they recessed and
then stayed while the Judge talked.
And his talk was snappy in the ex-
treme.
He guaranteed the league that they
must cut out their squandering of
money. and cut down their taxes, or
that they were headed for the discard
IN politics. Gentlemen, this is your
last chance" said the Judge. "If you
do not act, you will never come back
again to act. Towner county shows
the way the wind blows. You have
made mistake and must get busy
and rectify it."
At the conclusion of the Judges
address, league leaders went after him
pretty strong. One suggested rctting
down the Judges salary, and another
wanted to cut out his expense ac-
count. But, even though his league
brothers wouldn't consider the matter
seriously, the Judge was in deadly
earnest.
Judge Robinson jumped the league
traces in the coal-mine decision, also,
a couple of weeks ago. Here is what
the Courier News says about that:
"Judga Robinson, in his decision re-
fusing to grant an injunction, as asked
by the Governor, against interference
by Judge Nuesslc with the state min
ing of coal, showed the same lament
able failure to grasp the facts in
volved in the case that has character
lied all his decisions regarding labor.
Justice Robinson holds the extreme
laissez faire views of labor that were
prevalent when he was a young man.
He has failed to keep step with the
age. He still thinks labor is free
agent, that can bargain on equal
terms with ordanized capAal, and
that when labor and capital fall out
society has no particulra concern,
even though the falling out may in.
volve active suffering on society's
part, and even death.
That is the view that was once
prevalent in the United States. A.
mong educated people it no longer
obtains. 1t retains limited currency
only among the American bar and
bench, where obsolete ideas linger the
longest. When Justics Robinson con-
demns everything done to better la
bor's condition, even including such
conservative measures as laws for the
protection of women and compensation
for workers injured and killed while
on duty, he indicates that he is living
in decade which has long since been
embalmed in history. Even the great
majority of judges have long since
passed by the position he occupies"

ing away with, but the supreme court
CT North Dakota could not be so char
table to the members of the banking
board, Attorney General William Lam
ger and Secretary Of State Thomas
Hall, and denied them the right of
| witnesses.
So says Chief Justice A. M. Christ
ianson of the supreme court, the Har-
Ian of North Dakota. He concurs in
tall the points raised by Judge Birdzell
in the opinion of the latter which was
issued some weeks ago in dissen to
the majority opinion of Grace, Bron-
son and Robinson.
Then Christianson in a mastery
manner cites the law, the constitution.
rebukes the judges of socialistfc tend
encies, picks their opinion to pieces
and scatters the bits to the four winds
Of legaldom.
The decision covers 10 pages of
typewriter copy. In one place Jus
tice Christianson says:
Reference has been made by one
Of the majority members to the trial
|of Christ. Even upon that trial the
fright to be confronted by the accusers
and witnesses was not denied. That
is true both of tn trial before the Jew
ish Sanhedrin and before Plate. For
it is written: "And the high priest
stood up and said unto him .Answerest
Thou nothing? What is it which these
witnesses say against thee?" Matthew
26, 62. And PLATE said, "BeholH
have examined him before you and
have found no fault in this man touch
ing those things whereof ye accuse
him." st. Luke 23:14.
The justice quotes the bible in con.
nection with his assertion that fair
trial was denied, that witnesses were
not called.
He agrees with Judge Birdzell that
the state bank examiner is subservi-
ent to the orders and the wishes of
the state banking board. And that
the state banking board was within
its power lin appointing a temporary
receiver for the Scandinavian-Ameri
can Bank.
"Only short time ago every mem
Der who concurred in the majority
opinion also concurred in another opin-
ion whereby judgement of the dist
rict court was reversed because they
deemed that the cross examinant of
a certain witness had been too restrict
ed. "That case involved the owner
ship or right Of possession Of horse.
This case,-so the majority say-in-
wolves questions of transcendant i'm
neutrality-suspicious. affecting the SOW
eriegnty of the state or its franchises
or privileges or the liberties of its
citizens-AND IN THIS CASE,
CROSS-EXAMINATION IS NOT ON
LY RESTRICTED BUT WHOLLY
DENIED.
He winds up his opinion by saying:
"With all due difference to the views
Of the majority members l believe
that the practice which they have
adopted and sanctioned in this case
is contrary to the letter and spirit Of
our laws; and that their decision is
erroneous in its entirety. As it is
without precedent in judicial annals,
SO do I hope it will not become a rule
to be followed in future determine

Walter G. Liggett, who at various
times during the past three or four
years has been editor of the Fargo
Courier News, manager Of the Publish
ers Service Bureau which operates the
league string Of subsidized newspap-
ers, manager of the Consumers Unit
ed Stores Company, and spell-binder
orator and debater and disseminator
of league propaganda, has arrived in
Bismarck, but not on speaking terms
with the chieftains of the Order of the
Post-dated Check.
.iggett was discharged from the Non
partisan league employ about month
ago. after he had declared openly that
Brinton was crook and that he, Lig-
gett, had the stuff to prove 1t.
The current rumor is that Liggett
will attend the special session of the
legislature or the purpose of leading
and directing an insurgent movement
in the ranks.
That this is not impossible is evil
dent from the attitude Of some of the
earlier arrivals Of the former staunch
league "We1l Stickers." Few Of the
members of the house or senate will
talk much concerning the work of the
session, giving evasive answers, and
ask questions rather than let them
selves be queried.
A few have come out openly, how
ever, and declared they were doing
q lot Of thinkink for themselves.

NOTES BY co. sUPT.

"A program and basket social was
held at the Buchanan consolidated
School last Friday, the 9th. s115
were raised which will go for some of
the needed things for the school, a.
mong which are pictures and victro-
Ia. Six dollars were also raised for
the Chilhren's Home at Fargo. This
is one of the liveliest schools in the
county. We wish school directors and
patrons from other districts would Wis
it it and see what they have there
and what can be done by consolida-
ton. The people up there would not
60 back to the one-room school for
anything. Consolidation is the only
solution to the rural school problem
and until we get it rural schools will
never come up to the standard of town
schools.
Nine Month Perfect Attendance Ger
tificates were issued to the following
pupils this week: Elizabeth Deitlein,
Merle Deitlein, (2) Kintyre Dist; An
ma B. Sogstad, and Julia Hedblad, Will
son Dist.
Three Mouth Perfect Attendance
Certificates were issued to Theodore
Luchs. Winchester; Esther Anderson
Kintyre; and Maggie McAllister, Lo-
gan.
A successful basket social was held
at School No. 8, McCulley Dist, Clara
Schweitzer's school, last week.
Mrs. Ethel Yer Hoeven also held a
successful basket social at her school
in Baker District about two weeks
ago.
We hope that teachers will report in
to US news in regard to their schools.
Other teachers will find it interesting.
Make your school community cen
ter. By doing so patrons and teacher
will become better acquainted with
each other and it will do much to ward
off petty MISUNDERSTANDING. A bas-
ket social or a program once every
r:onth or six weeks will do much to
solve some of the difficult problems of
your school.
Now is the time Of the year when
the hot noon lunch is most appreciat-
ed. Every teacher should make an
effort to have at least something warm
cocoa, soup or pudding.
One of the good things about rais-
ing the valuation of property in this
county is to raise the county tuition
fund. Heretofore the amount has been
+"o small to make threatening to with
hold it of much effect. The amount
will be practically doubled this year
and where last year it amounted to
$3.47 per pupil or total amount too
small even to pay for having another
school month in any district. this year
it will amount to much more than the
expenses Of running school and will
prove Of inducement in some districts
to have the full term of school as re-
quired by law.
It seems as though many Of the
schools will not get in the full seven
months and possibly some will have
no school at all. Where such is the
case the school board should record in
their minutes that such school is COM
bined with some other school in the
district on account of the shortage of
teachers and pay all patrons entitled
to transportation. In this way you
will comply with the law and your
county tuition fund will not be with
held.
