The spanowis chipping note ! hear.
The frosis shnll voice in m.r.hes near.
The ripping sound Of running streams.
The quiekenine Of the meadow green.
The ilvsy laugh Of childhood sweet
Al sunset hour my ear doth greet.
The flashing wing Of lark and wren
Below the blue Is seen again.
While tiny syss peep through the earth
To welcome spsins's returning birth.
All nature bsrsss forth from in prison
And cries. Behold. the Lord is risen"

WANTS AMERICAN WORKERS TO
PAY ENCLAND'S WAR DEBTS

ing houses will have perfectly
good United States bonds which
the people will have to pay.
Now England, realizing that
she is bankrupt and can never
pay these bonds which she
owes to the United States gov
eminent, is carrying on a pro-
paganda to have the United
States cancel her huge debt to
the u. S., before she is forced
to repudiate them and thus set
a bad example to the world,
that is, the idea Of reputation
for if England repudiates, the
defrauded American people may
feel justified in doing the same
thing and then, oh, then, the
fat boys will lose, and the huge
profits of the war will have been
made in vain. By all means
let's give John Bull and his al
lies ten billion dollars, the
American farmers and laborers
will never miss the money. for
they have carried Democracy
to the uttermost parts "a .ne
world" and Gin their faces there

LEGISLATURE CALLED
TO SPECIAL SESSION
Continued from Page One)

ers who have lost their crops
through successive years and
today are graphing with the
problem of whether or not they
will be able to continue opera
tons in this state or will be
forced to emigrate, as was the
case with thousands of farmers
in Montana.
It is considered as certain
that the legislature will ratify
the suffrage amendment to the
federal constitution. The atti-
tude of the farmers has been
demonstrated by the passage OF
the state suffrage amendment
proposal in two sessions, the
last time the vote in the house
being 81 to four.
It is reported on good auth
ority that Adjutant General
Angus Fraser will recommend
that the Soldiers Bonus Act be
made more specific and more
flexible in benefits it extends
to returned service men. Under
the present arrangement re-
turned soldiers are not able to
draw on the fund until the
taxes are collected in April. In
order that they shall not miss
their educational opportunities
this year as provided by the
law, the Agricultural College,
the University and the normal
schools are advancing the sol-
diers money out of their own
funds.
Another law the special ses-
sion will likely act upon is the
Home Building act. The demand
for homes is so pressing in
North Dakota and there have
been so many applications for
homes to be built right away
that changes in the act that
will allow a more rapid accumu-
lation of building funds are be-
ing considered.

WALL STREET TURNS
DOWN STATE BONDS

Continued from Page One)
federal court had declared the
bonds constitutional.
Judge Young's advice, ac-
cording to a telegram received
by the Industrial Commission,
was couched in the following
language:
Replying to your inquiry as
to whether I would give an
opinion upon the North Dakota
state bank bonds and real es-
tate bonds, [ would say that |
would not undertake this mat
ter at this time. These plans
OF taking over private business
by the state is a matter that
has too many chances Of litiga-
ton until the whole matter is
threshed out. Every Eew en-
terprise Of this character has
to go through the same pro-
cesses and there are so many
new questions presented that |
should not give an opinion ap-
proving them while they remain
judicially undetermined"
The suit of the AZ North Da-
kota taxpayers was disposed of
in the federal courts by Judge
Amidon, who sustained the con-
stitutionality of the law auth
orizing the issuing of bonds to
establish state industries. The
use of this suit now as an ex-
cuse not to fulfill the contract
to sell the state bonds is looked
upon as a part of the desperate
battle of big business to wipe
out the North Dakota program.
The suit of the AZ taxpayers,
Scandinavian-American b IAN k
closing, and the investigation"
of the Bank of North Dakota
and the unfair publicity that
followed, were undoubtedly
links in a chain intended to bind
the people of North Dakota and
prevent them from going into
business for themselves.

that in case of a German vic
