MAY CHANGE ELECTION
METHODS IN N. D.
Bill Will Probably be Passed t
Change Method of Voting in
Country Precincts.

1t is probable the special session of
the legislature will close Saturday
night.
A plan is being considered which,
if carried out, will change the Aus
tralian ballot system a great deal in
North Dakota. The bill as revealed
in Senate Bill 8, will permit any per-
son residing half a mile or more from
a voting precinct, to vote on election
day without going to the polls. It
is patterned little after the absent
voters law. Such a person may vote
the absent voters ballot, altho he may
be present in the precinct on election
day, having no intention of being
away from home on that day. Those
opposing the bill says it gives politi-
clans an opportunity to canvas a dis
trict and assist voters in marking a
ballot, persuading them to vote for
certain candidates and propositions
that they might not otherwise favor,
when voting in regular election. The
new bill gives the voter the right to
select one person to assist him or her
in voting, such person not to be an
official representative or member Of
any committee of any political party,
'having candidate in the field.
Senate Bill also does away with
the requirements Of registration to
those permitted to use the absent vot-
err ballot. 1t provides further that
absent voters ballots shall be printed
sufficient to supply half of the voters
in the precinct as ascertained BY the
vote cast at the last previous election.
1t can easily be seen wherein the bill
permits official workers to make the
rounds Of rural voters and obtain for
them absent voters ballots and these
political workers may oversee or as
sist in the marking of these ballots.
The attempt to change the primary
election from June to August, INDIE
pendent legislators say, looks like a
possible scheme to vote harvest hands
and threshers who are in the state at
that time, obtaining for them absent
voters ballots. The adjustment of
the requirements for registration aid
ing in carrying out this feature of the
scheme.
The bill creating a legislative in
vestigating committee with $4,000
appropriation passed today.

sale of cigarettes was killed.

SHUT DOWN FkNY
LIGHTS IN THE CITY
Northern States Power Co. Receives
4 Drastic Order This MOrning-All
Ornamental, Decorative and
Sign Lighting Discontinued

Manager Brokaw of the Northern
States Power Co., this morning re-
ceived an order from the Federal Fuel
Administrator, to Immediately cut, out
all sign, ornamental and decorative
lighting. Same went into effect this
evening.
Manager Brokaw informs the In
dependent that undoubtedly the order
will include. cutting out power for
the non-essential industries, tho this
will not be done Immediately.
Mr.. Brokaw has taken the matter
of street light up with the city COM
mission. While the White Way light
ing is considered ornamental to GER
tain extent, it is believed that the
city commission will consider that at
least two Of the lights at each street
intersection will be considered neces-
sary and these will probably be con-
tinued.

A favorable report on the bill APP
propriating $4,000 for the use Of the
governor in handling law suits, was
received by the house.
A favorable committee report was
received on the bill exempting moneys
and credits from taxation. This was
the law that drove SO much capital
away from the state.
A favorable report was received on
the bill, throwing the state auditor
off the emergency commission, and
substituting the commissioner of ag-
riculture.
The Senate today passed the bill
reducing the staff Of the attorney
general from five to two. The bill
passed 33 to Is.
There has been little talk of bring
ing impeachment proceedings against
LANCER, Hall and Kositzky, but so
far nothing has actually been done
along this line. Only majority is
necessary to start the proceedings in
the house and two thirds vote in the
sente is required. The league it
seems has power to impeach the Of
icials, if they think the situation re-
quires it.

Clifford went to one point where there

to be taken care of.

rest, but says that after all there was

ROTARY GOVERNOR
PAYS M|N0T A VISIT
Rotary Governor Speaks at Meeting
Tuesday Night-Gives Fine Talk
on Rotary Principles

Harry B. Craddick, we'll known ad-
vertising specialist from Minneapolis,
who is District Governor for the Ro-
tary, attended dinner given in his
honor by the Minot Rotary Club at
the Leland hotel Tuesday evening.
One of the very pleasing features
of the evenings entertainment was the
singing by Nathan Peterson, tenor,
who rendered two numbers. He was
accompanied by his sister, Miss Peter
son.
Mr.. Craddick spoke for nearly an
hour on Rotary principles. He said
the Rotary organization is a fratern-
ity without ritual-a religion Of
good fellowship without church or
creed. Harry Lauder, himself a Ro-
tartan, likens Rotary to the old fash
Toned lamp lighter, who proceeded
along the streets, lighting the lamps
at evening, to make the path of those
who follow brighter. So does Ro-
tary shed it's light along the streets
of life. Rotary has it's practical as
well as spiritual side. He referred
to the Minneapolis Rotary club of
which he is member. For ten years,
since the clubs organization, it did
not miss meeting, except one week
last fall when all public places were
closed on account of the flu. The Ro-
tary idea started in Chicago where
the first club was organized. The
Minneapolis club, organized in 1910,
was the eighth club to be formed.
There are now $50 clubs in existence
with more than $4,000 members.
There are Rotary clubs in seven for
eign countries. Mr.. Craddick en-
phasized the point that there was
something more important than the
mere idea Of fellowship and friendli-
ness on the part of Rotarians as they
sit about thetable and that is out
side service.
| Never has Rotary club yet been
known to forfeit its charter. The
growth Of Rotary has been slow, nee
esssarily, but it has been a slow eau
tious growth that will endure. The
| Rotary wheel signifies action. An
ill club does not grow.
1 There are two kinds Of Rotary clubs
one, where the members elect their
officers and then sit back and watch
them work and the other where each
member takes some part in the work
/ Members should place themselves at
the service of the officers.
| The activities of the Rotary clubs
are divided into the following branch

ments; Juvenile court, Home fol-
Boys; churches, Y. M. C. A., Boys not
attending school, delinquents and de-
pendents.
Mr.. Chaddick complimented the Mi.
not Rotary on it's attendance record
He says a Rotarian who frequently
misses meetings, is termed Rotary
Slacker-a man who never comes
never goes and who is never sent.
There are now four Rotary clubs in

Artists Recital Delighted Large
Audience

The Artists Recital given at the
high school auditorium Friday night
by Nathan Peterson, lyric tenor from
this city and Miss Jenney Anderson
coloratura soprano from St. Paul, was
enjoyed by an audience Of nearly a
thousand people. Mrs. John Howard
wife of the musical director of the
Minot schools, was the accompanies
for the two singers, proving delight
as such.
Mr.. Peterson made a decided hit
this being his first public appearance
in this city. Miss Anderson pos.
sesses an unusually strong voice Of
rare sweetness and range.
