TO HAVE BONDS SIGNED
SUSPICIOUS SAYS NELSON

"The state may issue or guarantee
the payment Of bonds, provided that
all bonds in excess Of two million
dollars shall be secured by first mort
cages upon real estate in amounts not
to exceed one-half their value; or up
on real and personal property of state.
owned utilities, enterprises or indus
tries, in amounts not exceeding it's
value"
If the state has bonds now that
are not secured by first mortgage
on real estate, or utilities, enterprise
es and industries in amounts not sex-
ceeding its value, it would seem to the
ordinary lay-1nan that this provision.
Of the law will be violated; because
the amount of bonds that. the state
would be guaranteeing the payment
on if the 100000 was o. K-ed.
would be over $2p00,O00 NE amount
that the state officers are permitted
to obligate the state for. This HAY
seem like a technicality, but never
theless it is the law. IF state Off
Gals are permitted to apply laws ac-
cording to their notions instead Of
what the laws provide then the pub
lie gates are opened to gttafters. That
is generally the way that county,
state and national treasures are
looted.
But suppose that Tom Hall was
technically wrong he would not at
that be as much wrong morally as the
fellows who are moving heaven and
earth to put the people of the state
into big expense under laws that
they know may be voted down by the
people. Tom Halls action, morally
speaking, is in harmony with the acL
ton Of the people; while the other
state officials who are rushing organ
izations in order to get their hands
on as much as possible before the
people speak, are absolutely ignoring
the will of the people in view Of q.
condition which morally speaking
amounts to a command by the peo-
pie, Don't do anything with these
matters until we have had a chance
to look into them and then decide
what we want DONE"
The gang that is rushing things at
the State Capitol now are, of course,
aware Of the fact that less than forty
six and one-half-thousand Of the
states one hundred twenty thousand
voters have approved the particular
amendments that made possible the
legislation that is 1now being refarend-
ed and that there is, therefore, every
reason to believe that thor game
will be stopped on June 2c.h, and
that the people will after that enact
laws that will give them what bay
without naEing TIC Governor
q Monarch o: the Sto|r That 4, a
dangerous thing to do no matter who
is Governor.

CONSCIENTIOUS
DIRECTORS no BE
OBJECT OF PROBE
American Legion On Record
Demanding investigation Of
War Department.

Washington, June 3.-One Of the
acts of the War Department that will
be thoroughly prohed by the Congress
will be the treatment accorded the
so-called conscientious objectors:"
The American Legion is on record
demanding to know by what mode of
reasoning the department reached the
conclusion that hundreds Of men who
refused to serve this country should
have been treated with more consider
alton than the men who did the fight
ing. The association holds that one
of the cruelest injustices of the whole
war was the preference given the men
who wanted to escape real service.
Senator kellogg has presented a res
olution asking information Of the Sec
rotary Of War on the matter of this
select set who were treated with
more consideration than other young
men who went to the colors. 1t fol-
lows:
Whereas during the previous
months the press Of the country pub
lished articles relative to the release
Of conscientious DIRECTORS from thu
military service and from confine
ment; and.
Whereas it is alleged that the Wa
Department considered the matter
subjectively and authorized that con,
scientious DIRECTORS should be give1
honorable discharge from the mill
tary service, are entitled to a com
all compensation in arrears at tn,
time of their discharge, which com
pensation was rendered them; and
Whereas the people Of the United
States, and particularly those VIII,
served faithfully in the military ser
vice, are entitled to a complete, true
and detailed report Of the action o.
the War Department alleged above
Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Secretary O
War shall be, and he is hereby, re
quested to furnish a complete and de
tailed report Of the action taken b,
the War Department affecting con
scientious DIRECTORS, which repor
shall set forth names, dates Of con
finement, and dates Of discharge, am
cunt Of compensation rendered eacl

discharge granted in each instance

TO THE INDEPENDENT DAILY
PRESS OF THE STATE

TO THE INDEPENDENT DAILY
PRESS OF THE STATE
In reply 6 numerous questions as
to how Tom Halls refusal to sign
the bonds is effecting the referendum
election, I have prepared the follow
ing statement for publication:
Theo. G. Nelson
l dom know what the courts will
say as to the questions raised by Mr..
Hall with reference to the regularity
of the bonds for the Bank of North
Dakota, but to any reasonable man it
must look rather suspicious when the
Governor and other state officials are
moving heaven and earth to get the
state into a heavy expense employ.
ing, q lot of clerks and other cx-
pensive help before the people have
either approved or rejected the bank
law or any other Of the laws under
7hich the administration 10 now pro.
ceeding.
With petitions for a referendum
election signed by almost three times
the number upon which the Governor
promised last winter that he would
call an election, it seems that every
thing that would involve expenditure
Of money or otherwise disturb exist
ing conditions should be held in abey-
anc'e until the election has been held.
So it the state is at any expense on
account of any employment Of clerks
that are marking time while the legal
question is being settled, the officials
and not Tom Hall or any other citizen
who might raise a legitimate ques-
ton must take the blame for that.
Townley and his henchmen know
that they cannot fool the majority Of
the people all the time and that the
slxteen-dollar and one hundred-dollar
life memberships are not coming in
as they used to, and that the store
certificate scheme and the bank or
ganization game ire about at IN end
as a means by which to get money to
keep rabid radicals in comfort and
luxury while carrying on the cam
paign to get well-meaning farmers in
other states to shovel in their money
to help the game along.
That is undoubtedly why they are
sa anxious to get their hands on as
much Of the states money and mach
inery as possible before June 26th.
They r afraid that the election will
stop the game.
The constitutional provision upon
which Mr.. Hall apparently bases his
refusal to sign the bonds reads as

ings- and pumps supplement the daintiness Of
the morning bythe-sea attire.
To the aid of the second costume comes the
ever-ehective contrast. An apron-like tunic of
black satin is worn over what is really large
and glorihed combination suit. Of white satin
striking effect is secured by trimming the tunic
with a border Of white satin and the undergar.
ment Of white satin with border Of black The
girdle with long ends is of white satin with a
black border. The white satin undergarment is
adorned with bands Of black satin on the edges,
and the sides Of sleeves and knickerbockers are
also trimmed in the same manner
Buttons covered with black satin are used for
further trimming Of the white part Of the curious
combination costume. The tunic is cut on
straight Greek lines and fastened at the sides
with white trimmed black buttons Over the
white silk stockings are visible below the knees
black velvet garters. The cap is a turban of
bright hued silk.
Occasionally lovely woman prefers to sit on

NYEVER has the sesshore provided such a
kaleidoscope Of beauty and smartness as
= this Summer.
1t has been a mooted question whether Her
Grace Woman really looks well in a bathing suit
The answer is blanket one, cit depends upon
the woman and the suit" Seashore attire is
unfriendly to the extremes Of type. The fat
woman and the thin woman are at disadvan-
tage in garments for the dip into the sea. 1t is
kindest to the woman Of medium slimness. It has
depraVed disposition to exaggerate a large
woman into pilloW-like proportions. It discloses
the same perVersity in clinging so tenaciously to
slender woman that as she rises from the sea
she resembles Venus less than an elongated
and dripping cane.
But the woman Of pleasing slenderness yet rea-
sonable piumpness may shine resplendent before
and after and during her swim. Both the fig
ures shown here are Of that moderately developed
style Of womanly figure which is most gratifying
TO the eyes Of artists and all others. The first
young woman in her knickerbockers and coat
slip Of light colOred and heavy weight taffeta Is
&c. smart and attractive as in any other gaTb.
The neatly turned-back collar, with fits border
Of picotedged ribbon, and the narrow ribbon
sash tied in front by large bow are smart
touches. The silk tuTban trimmed with a large,
