Publisher Declares
Law Still Requires
Three Official Papers

Bismarck, N. D., July 1s.-A south
eastern North Dakota publisher has
raised an interesting question as to
whether, as a result Of Governor Fraz-
ier's veto of two laws passed by the
18th assembly relating to the publica-
ton of county commissioners pro-
ceedings, these county commissions
will not be required under the stat
utes to appoint two official county
newspapers in addition to the one Of
ficial newspaper to be selected by the
state printing and publication COM
mission.
Senate Bill 100. one Of the long
string introduced at the instance of j.
w. B%rinton, provided for the re-enact-
ment of section 3308, G. l.. 1913,
which now provides for the publica.
ton of county commissioner pro-
ceedings in three official newspapers,
to read: 1T shall be the duty Of the
board to cause to be published in the
official newspaper published in its
all it's official proceedings at each reg
ular and special meeting"
Governor Frazier vetoed this meas
ure, declaring the emergency clause,
which it carried, giving it immediate
laws.
If the contention Of publishers who
have brought this matter before the
state printing and publication COM
mission is borne out, county commits
sioners must in addition to the one
official newspaper to be selected about
July 26 by the state board, select two
other official county newspapers to
| complete the legal quota Of three.

TROUBLE Will COME TO LIGHT

Winnipeg, Man.. July s.-All the
little family difficulties which have
been accruing in Manitoba. Alberta
and Saskatchewan during the years
that the courts of those provinces have
not been allowed to hear divorce pro-
ceedings will soon come to light. it is
believed, as a result of a ruling Of the
British iprivy council. sustaining the
ruling of the Manitoba Court Appeal.
The privy council has declared that
the local courts may decide divorce
cases.
Major A. Mills, of the prothono-
tary's Office is the authority that more
than forty petitions for divorce are
now on file, entered while the status
Of the provincial court was in" question,
and now that it is decided that d.
vorces may be granted a flood of
petitions are expected.
Under the divorce act Of 1857, as
amended from time to time by the
Imperial parliament, there are eight
specified reasons for divorce os fol-
lows: indifdelity, desertion. habitual
cruelty, drunkenness, non-support,
]unacy, child murder and attempted
child murder.
