not be needed, q one that the "
chief candidates for president, Hard

made Tor cabinet positions. The sug-
geshon had the superficial appearance
Of reasonableneas in that it was point

Character Of the men chosen to fiji the
cabinet positions, and that II the cab

opportunity to judge % between the

For some weeks the president-elect
has beensdevoting considerable time
and study to the selection Of cabinet
material Without the complications
OF a strenuous campaign to contend
with. he has found the task no easy
one. Probably he has made some de
cis'oh. Almost certainly, there are
q several. Positions concerning
which he is still in doubt.
Several groupings have been made
by correspondents az containing the
names of men likely to be appointed.
Any n Of these lists contains the

FINANCING.

In his published statement n In
his address before the Commercial
club and members-elect of the legis-
lature, President Kane set forth
simply and clearly a number Of facts
and those who are to make it's laws
need to be familiar. The university
is one of the established institutions
Of b state. It has long since passed
beyond the experimental stage. It is
no longer a mere academy, but N
educational institution Of the first
grade, serving all the people of the
state in a field where service Is i'm
portant, and if the state is to de-
velop symmetrically the university
must continue to develop with it.
The o of operating a university
depends chiefly on two factors, the
number of students and the class of
work done: The University of North
Dakota has now IN enrolment Of L.
$50 students on the ground, over 1000
of them doing full university work.
To provide for the variety Of in
struction which must be available, and
to carry it on so as to keep it's work.
on q par with hat performed in other
institutions of similar class requires
a certain minimum equipment, teach
ing and administrative force, etc.
What that minimum is can be ascer-
tanned with reasonable ~exactness and
the los Of operation on a designated
scale can be reduced to figures which
will vary little from the actual facts.
Without question the people of the
state wish the university maintained
in such a manner as to serve use
fully and creditably, all the citizens
OF North Dakota who wish to avail
themselves of it's training. 1t must
be ready to serve all the people, and
not a favored few, and its operations
must be conducted in such a name
that, in instruction, in dormitory
privileges, and in all the elements
which go to make up the experience
of a university course the most COM
plete possible provision shall be made
for those students who must get
through with the least possible outlay.
President Kane a summarized the
needs of the institution admirably. He
has shown how much money is re-
quired, and why, and he has shown,
too, that of the important re-
quirements Of such an institution is
not merely to be supplied with a Ger
tain sum of money, but to have a
stable income, based. on ascertained
facts and demonstrated needs, and
provided regularly in accordance with
q considered plan.
The practice of financing a uni
versity by OF special a%ppropri-
atoms made at each Legislative ses-
sion is a vicious one, beneficial to no
n except the politician with an axe
to grind. 1t creates conflict where
there should be no conflict, and con
petition where competition can be
only injurious. With a stated levy
Of whatever sum is found to be nee
essary-fhe one-mill tax in this case
IS suggested-the financing of the in
stitutions will be automatically ac-
complished,, and It will be taken en-
tirely out OF the biennial scramble for
(. funds. Those in charge of it's adj
ministration will he able to plan in
diligently and to administer efec-
lively.
