THE CORPORATION COMMISSION

ZACH house of the legislature has before it n bill to amend the pro.
+ visions of the state constitution creating the corporation com.
- mission, Both amendments are needed. They are in no way
duplicating. They should be written into one amendment covering
all that needs to be done to make the commission very useful to the
people.
The republican party's platform pledged republican members of
Governor Mcchcm in his message recommended reduction of the
pcrsonnci of the commission, to a single commissioner.
The senate has passed a proposed amendment to reduce the com.
mission 10 a single Commissioner of Corporations and Public It'll
tiles but simply empowering the Legislature to to specify the pow,
crs and duties of the commissioner should the amendment be approved
by the people
The house amendment proposes to leave the commission of three
members, as it now stands, but to write into the constitution broad
general powers of regulation of ntrastates rates OF transportation
aud transmission companies and the rates and character OF service Of
public utilities.
One commissioner can conduct the work Of the department much
more efficiently than three. Two useless Offices would be eliminated
All political propaganda to the contrary, the corporation commission
has always more than paid its way. 1t has cost the taxpayers moth.
ing and has done much good within its very limited field of authority.
We need some real power in this state to regulate public ul.
tiles. There is such n thing as too much regulation, but II has been
demonstrated quite as clearly that a little regulation, jndiliously ap'
piled, is for the good Of any institution dealing N a public necessity.
A combination of these two amendments, which would set up a
single commissioner and provide the general scope Of his authority,
making it possible for the legislature to extend the powers as might
be required, would seem TO be the way to get at the result desired.
II more power for the corporation commission is a good thing
for the state, there is no reason for waiting any longer than necessary
to provide that power.

IN MANY SCHOOLS

GENERAL guests at n luncheon, years ago, were in heated discus.
y sion over a painting that adorned the wall.
Apparently none Of them knew its meaning although il rep
resented a scene in the mythology Of Greece.
Bored by the conversation, one OF them turned to a waiter and
insocntly demanded to know the pictures meaning
To his astonishmcnt the waiter gave it Immediately.
"In what school have you studied, " asked the guest.
"In many schools, sir, replied the humble waiter, but the
school in which learned most was the school Of advertsy. Books
only have been my friends
Ten years later all France rang with the fame Of the greatest
writer of his age, jean jacques Rousseau.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Say, Budd.es, how about the Vic
tory Medal? Send in your discharge
by some one that is coming to town.
or register it to A. H. Irvine, Linton,
and the papers will be made out ready
for you to sign and send in. He will
take care of the red tape Tor you,
and you will have your discharge re-
corded (free), and will return it to
you either by registered mail or hold
it in a fire proof vault until you call
for it. Or, if you prefer, send in and
get the necessary blanks. These
have to be sworn to before a Notary
Public, and are somewhat complicated
unless you have had experience in
"Army Paper Work." Do not put
this eff, as you will want your medal
before Memorial Day.
How about those teeth you need
fixed? We have the necessary blanks.
OF course, little more red tape, but
then you know that is what makes
the army go round, and keeps the Of
ficers happy.
Have you sent in that application
for the North Dakota bonus yet?
Better do it as new law passed so
that you will be able to get it in about
four years if you apply now. The
mill levy Las been increased double to
what it used to be. Not much red
tape to this. Just write Adjutant
General Fraser, Bismarck, N. D.,
and tell him what you want, and he
will send you all you need. Of course,
you have to write the first letter, as
otherwise he won't know whether you
want it or not. So it's up to you.
The following bill has been intro
duced by the American Legion Legis-
lative Committee at Bismarck, and is
known as House Bill No. 2O1:
'Be it Enacted by the Legislative
Assembly of the State of No. Dakota,
contracting to teach in any public
school in North Dakota up to and in
cluding the eighth grades and high
schools, including all such schools re-
ceiving public funds, shall be citizens
of the United States.'' ~
Write your senators and represen-
tatives in the state legislature re-
questing them to support this bill.
Next regular meeting will be held
Saturday evening, March 5th.

The series of publicity meetings in
the interest of the North Dakota Farm
Bureau have come to an end, and more
than 1900 people had a chance to find
out just what the bureau is and what
it proposes to do.
In eighty per cent of the townships
the canvass for members is being
taken care of by local volunteer work.

brought into the county for the pres
ent, although they may come later to
clean up any territory not taken care
of.
Three collectors report signing up
twenty-five members each on their
first day out. Wherever meetings
have been held, and the proposition
explained, or where the people have
read to any extent about the farm
bureau movement, it is easy work to
sign up members. Other neighbor-
hoods are more slow.

Gus banks Of Emmons county by the

is to be taken because Of the fact that
the Bank of North Dakota has q large

We were offered the superinten-

almost double our present salary, and
had it been the beginning of the school
year the county commissioners would
have been called upon to fill vacancy
in the county superintendent office.
There are many good features to our
present position as well as bad, but
we do not feel that we can remain in
a position for twelve months of the
year, when by taking principalship
we can get more in nine months alone
than both the county superintendent
and his deputy get in twelve.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

We cannot help but think that the
Farm Bureau is going to be the best
thing we have ever had to bring about
a better community spirit. Anything
connected with politics cannot do so.
If the people get together in the Farm
Bureau, we believe the schools will be
benefited. Let's all cooperate, and
make our communities better.

There were fifty-eight teachers in
attendance at the examination last
week. Four or five others wrote at
Bismarck.
Practically all the bills backed by
the teachers of the state have been
killed. If it is necessary for the
teachers of the state to enter politics
to get school bills through, possibly it
can be done. The school people of
the state should be reckoned with.
Dana district is another that is fur
nishing busy work for the schools.
1t has spent $12. SO since September.
It has also bought $37. 20 worth of
books.
