To him who views the sociological
landscape Ger, North Dakota under
the majestic sway Of Mr.. Townley
and the Nonpartisan league is a per-
petual fount of knowledge The
other day the North Dakota legisla-
ture refused to pass bill to punish
criminal syndicalism. It wouldn't
repeal the act which prohibits the
courtS from doing anything in labor
controversies. Now bill has been
introduced which aims at a curious
extension Of the state absent voters
law. That law permits voters un-
avoidably absent on election day to
vote by mail. The new bill extends
the provisions OF that law to all per-
sons who live more than half mile
from their voting places. Il At first,
this seems a concession to the COM
venience or the laziness Of the farm

"At the last regular session Of the
legislature the budget committee

appropriation to maintain these law

THE EnfERGENUY ARGUMENT.

A friend Of The Herald asks II at
vanced in support Of the contention
that the legislature. at it's late extra
session, could cause its enactments to
take effect within ten days, or within
any other period this side of July l.,
1920, without two-thirds vote stipu-
lated in the constitution.
The same question has occurred to
The Herald, and every statement
which seemed to have a bearing on
the subject has been studied. AS a
result of this research we have been
able to find hut one argument pre-
sented, and this is it.
The constitutional provision
relating to the emergency clause
is intended to apply to regular
sessions only. AS the holding of. {.
an extra session presupposes an
emergency, and as no provision
is made for that emergency, the
legislature may. under such con-
ditions, make such provision as it
considers necessary, and thus
avoid the delay which would be
entailed if the measures enacted
at the extra session were re-
quired to go over until the follow
ing July.
That is the entire argument so fal
as we have been able to find any ar.
gument presented. The Herald point
argument some days ago. The
constitution provides that the les.
islature may put any law into
effect Immediately by n two-thirds
vote. If that vote cannot be secured
the presumption is that no emergency
exists sufficiently grave to warrant
precipitatc action.
Further, if the extra session laws
can be put into effect by a bare ma
jority. the entire two-thirds rule is
nullifed. In order to defeat it, il
would only be necessary for the gov.
crnor to call an extra session imme'
diately at the close of the regular ses.
sion, and for that extra session to re.
solve that all the laws passed at the
regular session, or any designated
number Of them, should take effec,
