Brinton's newspapers must receive
every single cent of legal printing
business whether it be from the state,
county or private concerns, was the
opinion of the state legislature hand
ed down this week
The legislature, or rather the Nom
partisan league secret caucus killed
of every bill for an amendment Of
the newspaper grab act. Amendments
to the present law were introduced
in the form of bills by representative
J. A. Harris Of Mercer county, which
if they had been passed would have
left with the Brinton string of kept
newspapers, all official printing, but
would have permitted the publication
Of probate and other private legal
work in the paper published nearest
the residence Of the parties interested
in the case.

CAPITAL MEMS NOTES
By Earle H. Tostevin. Sec. N. d. p. x.

A return or rebate Of Is per cent
Of all the state taxes will be returned
if measure which the league delayed
bills committee reported into the
house late Saturday afternoon is pass
ed, and there is no doubt Of that as
it has already been approved in secret
carnus. The bill cuts from all appro-
priations just 25 per cent. Judge
Robinson on the second day of the
session recommended a SO per cent
cut in all taxes no matter wnat tine
purpose. He called the league to list
en- to the "rumblings of revolution
as sounded by the Towner county ell
ection." The purpose or the intent
of the bill has not been disclosed thus
far.
Other measures reported for pas
sage by the delayed bills committee
include the slicing of appropriations
for institutions. The State Reform
School at Mandan was given 100000
by the last regular session Of the leg
islature and this is pruned to nothing
at all. Mandan gave the largest pro-
portionate majority of any city in the
state against the league measures at
the referendum election.
The institute for the feeble minded
at Grafton is also cut from the appro-
priation list.
The slicing of $4,000 from the sal
ary expense account of the state high
way commission and the same action
which cuts out the appropriation for
oart of the expense in connection with
the cream test law, is partially made
up again in the creation of a new job
by delayed bill in the senate which
would have purchasing agent under
the board of administration issue all
the Office supplies of all departments
and institutions.

Early in the Legislative session O..
B. Burtness, former states attorney
Of Grand Forks county, and now q
representative from that district, dur
ing the debate on current measures
relating to the Office of Minnie Neil
son, State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, declared that her powers
shorn from her should be restored
and that she should have power to
prevent the dissemination of danger
Gus literature. He had been in the
library and found in a travelling H.
brary case books by Ellen Key, Leon
Trotzky, Ferre and others. He read
extracts from some of these and q

Of the lcaguers. An investigation
committee was approved on which
were three majority apd two minority
members. That night Governor Fra
zier demanded the resignation of
Strangeland and George A. Totten,
unfrocked congregational minister
and member of the board OF admin
stration, is reported to have served
notice that if Strangeland went out,
he went out too.
On the floor of the house, Twitch-
ell, of Cass, three days later de-
manded that the committee members
report on whether or not they had
done what was called for ip the res
olrtion: Investigated and found
whether these books had been in the
cases of the library such as were
shipped out to schools"
Twitchell accused the majority of
endeavoring to exceed their orders.
He intimated that there was an effort
to white-wash the members of the
board Of administration.
Strangeland is still working for the
state.
At one of the meetings of the
board of administration with the
house investigating committee, Miss
Nelson, who is on the board, report
ed at the session.
"Why wasn't l advised that a
meeting was to be held? she asked.
I'VE are not going to chase after
you all the time, youth have to do
the chasing yourself" was the way
Totten addressed her.
Totten also served notice on Miss
Nelson that the board was working
on measures which would abolish the
department of Superintendent of Pub
hc Intruction.
During the course of the investipa-
tion, Miss Peterson, deputy librarian.
admitted that Strangeland had told
her that Strangeland had ordered the
books which were questioned by Burt
ness, and that she might as we'll put
the card pockets" of the travel
ing library cases as that would be
where the books would be used.

Speaking OF the work OF the Board
Of Health, DR.. Terry says:
ut is seen that the health work OF
the city IS divided between the Coun-
ell and the Board of Health; that the
Health Board may not even select GER
tain employees whose duty IL is to work
under its direction; and that all Of
those engaged in health activities. Of
one kind or another, do not report TO
the constituted health authorities.
"All OF these officers and employees
should be appointed and their work
directed by the Board Of Health. They
should be paid from health funds and
should be responsible only to the
Health Board
''Sucii division OF authority makes for
Just such service as Wilmington is
getting. The fault lies principally
with the provisions of the charter, but
changes i'm the city ordinances or even
the full employment OF powers now
vested in the Board Of Health, could
work great Improvement i'm the milk
and meat inspection services, except
for the method Of appointment Of these
two inspectors.
1.-THE present members Of the Board
Of Health appear earnestly desirous OF
improving health conditions. but they
find themselves handicapped at every
turn by the provisions Of an antiquated
charter and those of ordinances, de-
signed to pay political debts rather
than TO serve the health interests OF
the city.
''The crying need OF the Wilmington
Health Department is for a competent
executive or health commissioner who
shall give his Whole time to the duties
OF his office. He should hold Office as
long as his services are satisfactory
or at least for q term OF from four to
six years, and he should not be de-
pendent on any political party for ap-
pointment. He should be selected sole
ly by reason OF his qualifications
Or. Terry points out the need OF an
adequate city laboratory in charge OF
a competent bacteriolOgist and chemist.
adequate health protection, how
ever, cannot be had for such sums as
have been appropriated in the past"
says DR.. Terry. He points out that
II cents per capita is too little for
health protection. For so or 60 cents
per capita Wilmington might secure
many Of the improvements in health
equipment needed" DR.. Terry says.
