Kositzky Finally finds Mon.
ey Enough to Pay For Elk
ira Session Per Diem.

Bismrack. N. D.. April. s.-state
drawing warrants for the per diem
and mileage OF the Legislators who
attended the last special session Of
the, legislature and who were not
paid on account of lack OF an APP
propriatioh for that purpose.
| It will be. recalled that the regular
session Of 1919 adjourned after about
fifty days Of the session had passed
and it. was announced by leaders 1T
the assembly that the funds so saved
werest to be used to pay the expenses
ed by the governor later on. The
special session materialized but the
saving from the regular session fell
some SIC, 900 dollars short Of meet
ing the expenses of the special ses-
SIGN: However, the special session
failed to make an additional appro-
priation and the state auditor after
paying the clerks and employees OF
the session. and some 81 the MEM
bers, found that the fund appropri-
ated for the Sixteenth legislative as
took. the position that while the leg
i~slators were entitled to their per
diem and mileage that there was no
fund available at that time from
which to pay the same.
An action was started in the dis
trict court Of Burleigh county by one
of the legislative members who did
not receive his pay and Judge
Nuessle last week held that it was the
duty Of the state auditor t o draw his
warrant in payment thereof, regard
specific appropriation made. IN his
answer. filed with Judge ,Nuessle,
State Auditor kosttzky. made his po-
sition clear that he did not at any
time deny that the Legislators were
not entitled to. their per diem and
mileage but that he did cn1tend that
there was no appropriatio1 44a1ldbae
for the payment of the same and
asked that the action be dismissed OF
that a court order be issued directing
him to pay these claims in order that
he might be protected. Both the con-
%stitution and the statutes of the state
of North Dakota prohibit the state
auditor from drawing warrant ex-
cept in pursuance to an a]ppropria-
ton made by law and a penalty is
provided by the statute for so doing.
In the order signed by Judge Nuessle,
and which was served upon Mr.. Kos
itzky's counsel today, the ]appropria-
ton against which these warrants
should be drawn is not pointed out.
and the state auditor has announced
that IN view Of this fact he feels thar
it was the intent of the court to cave
this matter to his discretion, and he
has stated that he Will draw these
warrants against. the appropriation
made by the last legislative assembly,
presumably for the 18th legislative
assembly. which will convene. in Jan.
uAryA 1921. This will probably make
it NECESSARY for, the incoming IestslS-
tive assembly. to make an additional
appropriation to cover its oWtn ,ex-
penses but in the judgmenteT,.9 Tie
state auditor there, is no other posi-
Die appropriation against .Xhich these
warrants may be drawn. -

Thomas J. O'Brien Speaks at Mich
igan Society Banquet.

Thomas j. O'Brien. formerly am
bassador to japan and Italy, in the
course of an address at banquet
by the Michigan state Society last
night at HarveyS. deplored the wave
of reform which is sweeping the
country as tending to increase I'M
rest. Mr.. O'Brien laid particular
stress on efforts of the Pastors Fed
Grafton of Washington to prohibit
sunday smusementS in the capital.
He said he hoped the movement would
not become Il law. because he thought
Sunday should be a day when every
one should do vi hat he pleases.
Judge Robert NJ. Montgomery of
the United States Court of Customs
Appeals pointed out the present un-
rest as a possible menace to the Con-
stitution. He said n disposition to
treat the Constitution of the United
States lightly has grown out of de-
Velopments of recent years. This
tendency has been aggravated by the
great number of aliens in our midst,
he said.
