PR0vEMENTS
FOR EDM0RE

Devils Lake is not to be alone in it's
building program for this spring.
Edmore, the metropolis on the east
side of the county, which city has al
ways progressed, has several new
buildings and improvements that will
be commenced as soon as operations
can be started. Christ Gjesdal, a
prosperous farmer near Edmore has
purchased choice location across
from the M. E. church and will erect
a fine modern residence.
George johnson, one of the pro-
prietors Of Edmore's garage, has de-
cided to build and has about closed a
deal with the Edmore townsite COM
pany for lots across the street from
the Askalson residence.
Martin Sagen has purchased a LOT
adjoining that owned by Peter Setnes
and will move a building ON it which
will be remodeled for residence.
Plans are on foot for new Ma.
sonic Temple in Edmore. The Mason.
ic order in that city has already 1O(
active members and has grown tx
such size that their present accom-
modations in the Toomey building ar,
too small. While the movement il
only still in, its infancy, still tn
members are seriously considering tn
proposition. A partial canvass of tn
city has resulted in a nice sum bein,
pledged, which would indicate that
more strenuous campaign would NEE
all the financial support needed. TIL
site for the new building is also beinI
considered, most of those intereste'
being in favor of the site formerly oc
cupied by the Hotel Northern. If thi
cannot be obtained there are other
in view. If this plan materializes
will be a fine thing for Edmore a
well as for the many members of tn
Masonic order who live in the town
on the Sarles branch.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 10.-In a state

1T IS TINE THAT THE PEOPLE
OF THE STATE WERE ARGUS
ED TO THE TRUE SITUATION" {"
SAYS BOTTINEAU EDITOR.
TAXATION PROPOSED MEANS
DISASTER TO STATE.

There is a growing fear Of Bolshev-
ism in North Dakota; no mistake
about it.
The bulk Of anti-Townleyites are
becoming alarmed and not a few of
the .Leaguers are manifesting consid-
cradle uneasiness, and well they may
so feel. There is ample cause.
The danger has not been over
stated by q single paper in the State.
In fact not a tenth part of what is
being done to wreck the state has
been published. Those who have been
and are on the ground, however, are
now awake to the situation. The his
tory of the United States record no
condition in any of the various states
which even in the slightest degree can
be compared to the condition one finds
in legislative and state administra-
tion circles in Bismarck.
It is time that the people Of the
state were aroused to the true situa-
tion. Visitors from every section Of
the state were in Bismarck the past
week. Most Of them were farmers;
only small percentage of them were
business men from cities and villages.
Thev were men who have the interests
of the state at heart; they were not
alarmists. Yet the opinion expressed
by them was in almost every case the
same. that the state was being
wrecked by the radical and incompe-
tent men in power. There is no doubt
whatever about there being an inc
reased feeling of distrust. At first
the feeling was one of doubt as to
the competency Of those in power
But now the charge is made that
there has been breach of faith
These charges come mainly from the
farmers; and in many instances from
members. of the ,Nonpartisan League

ed before the voters will get an op-
portunity to expresf m opinion on
the question. The Tpwnley secret
caucus does not deal ia small figures.
It has now made known its bonding
and it involves the bonding
of the state to the,>tune of twenty
one million dollarsl Some change
from a debt limit of two hundred
thousand dollars to twenty7one mill
lion dollars. And at the same time
they are maintaining that they will
lower the rate Of interest and tighten
the burden of taxation. Now the lat
ter statement sounds very pleasing TO
the gullible. But-let US see These
millions are to be used in promoting
the SO called industrial enterprises:
Now they are speculative ventures at
best. If they fail, what will be the re-
suit:
School Fund to. Be- Picked.
All the bonding bills provide that
in case there are no funds to pay the
interest on the bonds out ~ the earn
ings, any deficit shall belmet by GEN
ERAL TAXATION! This statement
may be verified bygettdAg the copies
of the bonding bills. It :. not denied
by the Leaguers here that bonds in so
colossal an amount and issued under
such conditions cannot be floated on
the market. But there is magnificent
school fund-rich picking. No secret
is made of this fact that this fund
will be dipped into quite freely. The
fact that this fund is held in trust
through a contract with the federal
government will not in the least deter
those in control from exploiting it.
The Industrial commission" which is
to handle this colossal fund, must
meet and organize within twenty
days after the bill creating it be-
comes law-and the bill has an EN-
ergency clause. The tax payers will
be virtually deprived of a referendum
vote. The radical Socialists who .ars
in charge have broken faith with thu
people in many instances, but this il
the most glaring one.
Riba Looked Good
! The Riba- Weber contest is anothe,
black mark against the Leaguers
That Weber received fair majority
of the votes cast in his district is no
denied by the Townleyites at Bis
marck. It was case of might make
right. They had a majority in tn
house and they arbitrarily unseatet
Weber. While they already had I
majority, they did not feel safe in re
gard to the two-thirds majority nee
essary to carry the emergency clauses
contained in the bills providing fo
their industrial program" Riba look
ed to them like man who would b,
obedient and there is every indication
that they made good selection. A
man with a grain of the America
spirit Of independence and homes
pride would not have accepted tn
seat that Riba occupies under suci
conditions. But Riba~' seems to b.
sufficiently calloused to go through
with it. It was an outrageous pro
ceeding, but no surprise to the PEI
|ple on the ground who have had a,
opportunity to watch the Socialis
machine work.

Danqerous Law Enactments
BY Our State Legislature and
Our N. P. L. Administration
Administration Embarrassing Minnie
Nelson.

Administration Embarrassing Minnie
Nelson.
The fight carried on against Miss
Nelson is another disgraceful affair.
Miss Nelson's election was not mere
ly defeat for Macdonald, it was a
reputation. While his ticket carried
the state by eighteen thousand ma
jority. Macdonald lost by almost
seven thousand. It would seem that a
man with any sense of fairness, with
any independencet, or even possessing
in the slightest degree the elements
of American sportsmanship, would
have accepted the verdict of the peo-
pie. But not so with Macdonald.
Legal action had to be taken to COM
pei him to turn over the office. Since
then the state administration has done
everything in its power to make it
embarrassing for Miss Nelson. An
exception must be made in the case
of Attorney General LANCER, who has
stood by Miss Nelson.
There are undoubtedly large num-
ber of people in the state who do not
realize what large stakes are being
played in the fight on the present
superintendent. The school fund of
North Dakota is large one. The
lands sold are not paid for, and the
lands yet to be sold, and the cash on
hand will total about sixty million
dollars. The superintendent of pub
lie instruction can be the stumbling
block in the way of any crowd that
tries to exploit this fund. That is
what they are undoubtedly correct in
their estimate of her. Bills are pend
ing in the Legislature which will de-
prive her of the power and authority
heretofore exercised by the Superin-
tendent. An attempt will also be
made to pass law calling for quail
| fications differing from those held by
Miss Nelson; in other words, to leg.
islate her out of Office.
Democracy and Economy Gone.
! Governor Frazier has been held uI
J before the voters as an apostle Of de-
mocracy; a democratic farmer thai
would maintain his farm habits while
Iserving as governor. But people wh'
Ihave been beguiled into such belle
would be shocked if they read Senate
Bill No. SO. This measure, according
to the title, is "a bill for an act max
ing appropriations for the mainten
ance, improvements and repairs of th'
state capitol" Bear in mind the it'll
of the bill. This measure contains
twenty-four appropriation items. Th'
thirteenth is rather an interesting
item. It reads: "Salary, Governor
Chauffeur, $2,323." In our thirt!
years of statehood no other gove1no
has ever asked for an appropriation
Of like character. The governor
mansion is only little ways from tn
Capitol, and the car line, maintained
at the states expense, runs right b.
the door, so to speak. Yet the stat
is to pay a man $2,232 to drive tn,
governor up to the Capitol in an auto
It may be that the governor feels tina
as long as the game of grab is takin,
on wholesale proportions that his of
flee might just as we'll be in on it
But can there be any question bu
the taxes will group to a point here
tofore unheard of? Can there be an!

RAILROAS WILL
FIGHT PAYMENT
OF NEW TAXES

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 1Oth.-The
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
500, railroads will again contest pay
ment Of taxes assessed against them.
The new suit will involve taxes as
sessed for the current year, the rail-
roads making payment Of about twen@-
ty-five hundred thousand dollars,
compared with a total levy against
them of over three million. The ac-
tion will take the same course as that
already in the courts involving taxes
assessed year ago. The total pay
ment that is made without contest
this year is three huAdred thousand
dollars greater than last year.

VACCINATION
RESC|NDED
HOUSE PASSES BILL TO EMPLOY
NURSES TO VISIT AND INSPECT
+, SCHOOLS.

Bismarck, Feb. THE compulsory
vaccination law was wiped off the
books Of the state this afternoon,
when the house adopted Senate Bill
81. The bill carries an emergency
clause giving it immediate effect, and
this was adopted by approximately
the same vote.
The bill provides that vaccination
or inoculation shall not be conditiona
precedent to admission to any school
ar college or to the enjoyment of any
other privilege of citizenship.
Representative Hoare in urging fa-
vorable action upon both the bill and
the emergency clause declared an ac-
t,,al emergency existing in that many
children, whose parents did not be-
ileve in vaccination were being de-
prived of school privileges. Burtness
approved the bill as whole, declar-
ing the present compulsory vaccina-
ton law too broad and suggester an
amendment providing that boards Of
education in the case of acute epi-
adenlic may declare an emergency dur
ing which vaccination may be made
compulsory. His amendment was
voted down.
The practice of chiropractic, unlim-
tied as to hispitals, contagious and in
.fectious diseases and optometry, is
provided for in House Bill 176, which
removes the present restriction
against the profession. Rep. Twitc-
hell doubted the adivsability Of allow
ing chiropractors to treat contagious
diseases and oficiate at child births.
School Nurse Bill Passed.
The house also made law. ready
for the signature Of the governor.
Senate Bill 80, making it the duty of
county commissioners to employ one
or more graduate nurses who shan
give full time to the work and whose
duty it shall be to visit the schools in
Y the county and inspect and examine
the pupils attending said school. The
bill provides that the school board or
board Of education Of any school cor
poratioh in the seate, may, and when
petitioned by a majority of the per:
sons having children. attending the
school, shall employ one .or more
graduate nurses. The house also

that notices of. foreclosures be given

EXCITEMENT AT COLLEGE.

Monday evening about nine-thirty
some excitement occurred at the col
lege. A man attempted to enter one
Of tic rooms Of one Of the students
and it threw the institution into an
uproar. Hc was an old man so the
story goes, in threads and patches,
and after his attempt had failed he
disappeared in the darkness and has
not been heard of since.
1t appears that he entered one of
the dormitoties by side door and
started into one Of the rooms. He
was very promptly stopped by the
student and he made a hasty exit.
Then the news began to spread.
Lights were out and the screams of
the students informed and alarmed
the other students. Then lights were
turned on and as they Understood the
cause of the excitement more screams
were indulged in until nearly the
whole student body was in turmoil.
The watchmen and the matrons and
the teachers and the president all
came running TO the rescue and tia
students were finally assured that all
was safe!
Just who the man was and what
was his purpose no one seems able
to understand. 1t is supposed that
he was under the influence of liquor
or was unbalanced mentally at the
time.
The police have been looking for
the mysterious stranger but he has
not been apprehended yet.
