, whether. the suit to have the election
declared void would be brought
against the canvassing board or the
incoming officials. 1t was decided to
direct It against the canvassing board.
No questions OF fraud in the cleo
ton itself will be raised. the whole

Justice Raps Minority Action
OF Supreme Court. Which
Keeps Law For Limitation
OF Local Take. On Statute
Books.
lHerald Special Service. !

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 19.-Tho
constitution OF North Dakota Is re-
duced to mere scrap of paper" IL
the opinion set forth in upholding the
constitutionality OF the state tax limi-
tation law denies relief on the pretext
that provisions (which are expressly
mandatory and prohibitory are direc-
tory merely" says the opinion OF
Justice L. e. Birdzell, speaking for q;
majority Of the court. In holding that
the tax; Limitation law is unconstitu-
tional. Justices Bronson and Chris
tianson subscribe to the opinion.
The validity of the law was upheld
when two judges, Robinson and
Grace, held it constitutional and three
judges held It unconstitutional, It be-
ing required that four judges hold q
law unconstitutional to make a deci-
sion effective. The opinion Of the
three judges holding the law valid
was not filed at the time decision was
rendered, the decision being promul-
gated as quickly as possible because
1t affected this years tax levies.
After holding the purpose of the
bill was changed during passage,
thereby making it Unconstitutional,
Justice Birdzell discusses further the
case involved as follows:
Political Issue Involved.
THE opinion OF Mr.. Justice Robin
son argues that because excessive tax
es had become a political issue, the
Legislature was, not bound to observe
constitutional requirements In the
passage of legislation to relieve the
situation. and that, il bound in any
way to observe such requirements, the
failure to do so should be overlooked
In view of the concurrence being
unanimous in one body and nearly %
in the other. The further argument In
that opinion, an we read Il. Is that
as there are certain constitutional
provisions with reference to the mnn-
ner in which adjournments may be
taken, etc, which must OF necessity
be Of directory character. 1t follows

TO Be scrapped .

E
To Be Scrapped. s.f
Washington, Nov. 19.-Launched as
one Of the .proudest and greatest bat
tleships ever designed by the Ameri-
can navy only to be scrapped within
Of the superdreadnaught West Virgin
ia today when she slipped from the
ways of the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Drydock company.
The American naval reduction plan
as presented to the armament confer
ence provides for the scrapping of the
West Virginia. If the American plan
is agreed to-. the dreadnaught, today
about sixty-ffve per cent complete,
will never be finished or plow the
seas bearing the Stars and Stripes.
In Glass With Maryland.
The West Virginia is one Of the
same class and power as the Mary
land, soon to be commissioned. Some
where among government stores are
eight sixteen inch rifles made espe-
cially to fit her, four gun pits. She
at almost a 23-know speed; she Is
built so as to be almost invulnerable
to torpedo attacks; she carried a bulk
| OF the hardest armor ever rolled, SO
| thick that man might walk on its
! upper edge where it protrudes beyond
the skin Of the ship we'll above the
| water line. No device that American
genius of war experience has combin-
ed has been omitted from the ships
| fighting equipment. The spectacle of
this giant fighting machine-the pro-
| duct of years Of effort Of mind and
| body of thousands of men-being
| launched only to be destroyed is pa

 CANNERY WILL
 CLOSE FOR YEAR
Pack of 45'000 Cases Will Be Secured and Activities
 Cease for Year.

The Libby, McNeil & Libby can nery will close it's season this week with a pack of approximately 45,O00 cases of salmon Twenty men of the crew will go South on the Admiral Watson and more will follow soon afterwards The plant had pack of 43, ,OOO fish last night and today had ,OO0 fish on the cannery floor ready for canning.
 Captain C. F.. Ahues, superin end ent of the plant, said today that one of the traps made a big catch last Saturday when 5000 fish were taken from it. The run of chums and sil. ver salmon is satisfactory and ''ev- eral thousand more cases could 5e secured, he says but the fish are not the kind wanted as there is no sale for them. The market demands red salmon and as they are not getting them, they will be content with a pack of 45,000 cases and quit for the year.
 The cannery belonging to the same company at Yakutat had very good season as usual On the last of July it had a pack of 46,000 cases of red fish put up The plant will remain closed for about three weeks to give the salmon a chance to get to the spawning beds and then reopen and more than likely about 20.000 cases of red salmon secured from the fall run
