was named by, Mr.. Willard, and 1t invited the
of evidence from all persons interested, the
British government and the Irish republican. organiza-
ton Included. Il #
" 1t. was manifest from the beginning that the British
government would do just what any other government
would have done under the circumstances, namely, that
1T would ignore the whole. proceeding. It was equally
certain that the separationlst element in ireland would
welcome the opportunity afforded to obtain further pub
lcity for the material for the publication 'of which a
highly specialized: organization was maintained. Just
these things happened. Volumes of evidence tending
to support the separatist CONVENTIONS were volunteered.
The investigating committee became an agency for the
recording of political manifestations in support of Irish
nationalism. No other group or faction was represented
before tho committee. On the basis of the testimony
submitted there could be but one result. !.
The fact that there was no appearance by or for the
British government is stated by the committee in its
report. The whole procedure is declared to be ex parte,
and the conclusions are worth just what any conclusions
are worth which are based on the statement Of enc side
of a bitter controversy. -. Il,
AS to the course Of the British government in giving
no recognition to the investigation, we have only to
imagine what would have been the course of our gov
eminent in a similar. case to appreciate the situation.
In the Philippines, for instance, there is a very consider
able movement for immediate independence. There is
some sentiment of this nature in Porto Rico. A Nmiiar
demand might be made in any part of the territory over
which the United States claims jurisdiction. Let a COM
mittee of one hundred eminent Englishmen, or French
men, organize themselves into a committee to investigate
and decide, and let that committee issue invitations to
all and sundry to attend and be heard. Does anyone
imagine that our government would respond? Nations
do not conduct their. affairs that way.

TAFT FOR THE SUPREME COURT.

The report is current in Washington that Honorable
William H. Taft, former president Of the United States, is
to be appointed chief justice Of the federal supreme court,
to succeed the present incumbent, Chief Justice White,
who is said to desire to resign because Of advancing years
and in order to make room for Mr.. Taft. President Hard
ing is said to have gone over the subject thoroughly and
to have decided definitely ON this appointment should the
vacancy be created.
Notwithstandins the fact that Mr.. Taft has occupied
career may be said to have been one of disappointed am
judicial activities. He chose the professor of law because
he loved it. He was elevated to the bench and served
faithfully and capably. He desired his career to be one
of natural transition from one judicial position to another
until he reached the supreme bench. That progress was
interrupted during the term Of President Mckinley, when
Mr.: Taft was drafted from the bench to an executive 'po-
sition Of great Importance. To him was. entrusted the
management of the affairs Of the Philippine Islands dur
ing the period when the duty required strength Of char
acter, breadth of vision and the judicial qualities which
Mr.. Taft possessed IN such large measure. He accepted
the appointment reluctantly, casting his judicial career
behind him. He became secretary of war and again gave
the United States conspicuously valuable service. His
progress to the presidency was natural and logical. New
ertheleah during all these years he would have preferred
service on the bench to any other. s.
g8 Since his retirement from the presidency he has con-
Quoted himself with dignity and has performed many
conspicuous public services. He has been q servant of
all the-peopIe, serving them faithfully in whatever way
the opportunity presented itself. There can be no doubt
that f the present report proves well founded, and after
all these years he "a placed >on. the supreme bench. he viii

EVERYBODY MISTAKEN.

According to a statement attributed to Carl D.
Thompson by the Christian Science Monitor, everybody
in North Dakota must have. been mistaken last fail. Mr..
Thompson, who is described as the special representative
in Chicago of the Bank of North Dakota, and secretary
Of the Public Ownership League of America, was dis
cussing the affairs of the bank, and the attacks which
had been made upon it. He had told of the passage Of
the initiated law repeating the requirement that local
public funds be deposited in the Bank of North Dakota,
and said:
The moment the now law went into effect
it was necessary for the Bank of North Dakota -
to cali in it's redeposits. And this at once re-
vealed the pernicious nature of this law. The
result of these conditions is that the bank is
stronger than ever. 1t has lost nothing in any
way by the passage of this law that was intend
ed to kill it-nothing except its chance to help
in this particular situation-and it has gained

IL Thus we have presented a remarkable situation.
The independents, according to MI. Thompson, initiated
the new law for the purpose Of wrecking the Bank of
North Dakota, and the leaguers opposed the initiated
law because they were convinced. that it's passage would
independents supported the proposed law and the
Icaguers opposed 1t. Mr.. Thompson maintains that the
independents were trying to wreck the.lbank, and the
SleeSaers to save 1t. al< y.
@4 The law was passed. It went into operation. And
now we have the remarkable resut-that the device which
1T - claimed was intended for wrecking purposes was
the thing which saved and strengthened the bank, and
tho policy which was advocated by the league leaders
md aapproved by their followers would have prevented

should be sufficient to meet the needs

poses.
Fifth, finally the bill provides
that after the rates validated and
authorized are levied, no action in
the nature of a mandamus shall be

Commissioners to compel it to levy a

lof 1920. The counties had full au-
thority under the law to do this. But
the debatable question was, if they
refused, how could they secure a six
months term which is required OF
them by the constitution?
LAS soon as possible, a test case
was prepared in Nash County in order
that the courts might answer the
question and give the State Depart
ment OF Education some judicial or
constitutional basis on which to
stand. The Superintendent of Public
Instruction was sustained by the
court and no appeal was taken. The
rule. therefore, was adopted for all
counties expecting to participate in
the equalizing fund and they were sc
notified.
"As q result of this and other de-
cisions, over ninety counties levied
rates for school accordingly and these
are the maximum rates for teachers
salaries for these counties; not only
for 1921-22, but also for 1929.
Second, the bill provides further
that those counties which have not
levied school rates in accordance with
the rule referred to above, must
levy SO cents for teachers salaries
, before they can receive an amount
from the State sufficient to provide
for six months school term
This provision will affect less
than ten counties. The 80 cent rate
is the average rate that the counties
would be required to levy if uni
form rate were levied in all the coun-
ties of the State and the funds were
distributed equitably over the State
Third, the bill also provides an
equalizing fund of $832,25O ar
amount sufficient to guarantee a six
months term in every county of the
State if the rates for the two sets
of counties referred to above are
levied. And this is all that the State
is obliged to pay for this purpose.
