which such a succession Of terrifying
events had taken place, Jane sank
dazedly n a chair, trying her bes.
to collect her thoughts. as she looked
on the recent scene Of battle.
All OF the German plotters had been
overcome and captured. There. dead

twisted into q savage expression OF

NO SESSION NECESSARY.

II a recall election is held in June,
and important changes are made
thereby in the personnel of the state
administration and Of the legisla-
ture, and remedied legislation should
be enacted at q special session to be
held sometime after election, that leg
istation could not take effect until
July 1. 1922, unless passed as emery
ency legislation by a two-thirds vote.
But the state will not have to rely
for its remedial legislation until July
of next year. At the recall election
as many bills as may be desired may.
be presented to the voters for their
approval, and those measures, if ap-
proved by the voters, will take effect
thirty days after the election.
This was the situation last fall.
when initiated measures we're pre-
sented and approved, n those meas

one of these that the audit of the

because of that fact it was possible to
have a fairly comprehensive report on
the. condition of the industries pre-

Of the evils which we now suffer. and

CREDIT.

Tia one step that would do more
than any other single thing to re-
establish tho credit of North Dakota
and to place it's affairs on a going
basts would be the recall Of tho mem
bers Of the state industrial commits
sion and the substitution for them of
others committed to a policy in &C
cord with business practices.
The three men who constitute that
commission have control Of practical
ly all Of the industrial and commer-
cial business of the state, and 1t is
through their Encouragement that
the affairs of the state have been
brought to the present pas
The gross mismanagement of the
Bank of North Dakota has shaken
confidence more than any other one
thing. Other enterprises have been
mismanaged. There have been
waste and extravaganza in them.
There has been Incompetence. and it
remains to be seen how far In the
direction of positive criminality some
of the officials nave gone. Public
officials Of the state have declared to
the world, in substance. that they in
tend to devote the public revenues to
the promotion of wildcat enterprises
and the financing of a Socialistic po-
litical campaign. They have done
this in the past, and they have de-
clarcd their intention to continue.
That record and that attitude have
convinced sober men that, regardless
Of the fertility of its oil and the scope
Of its resources. North Dakota 10 IN
safe. The state needs large sums Of
outside money for the financing Of it's
legitimate business. The work of
development has scarcely begun.
Large capital is needed to prosecute
it. That capital can be had on sat
isfactoy terms provided the security
is sound. But If there il a suspicion
of its soundness investors viii turn
elsewhere.
Unless one is willing to take 4 GAM
'bler's chance, at long odds, he viii
not lend to an individual who is
known to be reckless, extravagant, In
competent and dishonest The credit
of a state is tinctured with the record
of it's public officials. The officials
of North Dakota have destroyed the
credit of the state. The reputation of
those officials by the people, their en-
forced retirement from their posi-
tons, and their replacement by 9TH
ers pledged to a business-like policy
would rebuild h credit that has been
wrecked. II the recall is undertaken
there will be proposed at the same
time corrective legislative measures
restricting the business activities Of
the, state within certain well defined
limits, and providing sound regula-
tons for their management. These
things are desirable and necessary.
But the one FAC hat the people of
North Dakota have turned the wreck

such a demonstration OF the essential
soundness Of the state that confidence
will be restored. and the lethargy
which has overtaken US will pass.

CONTROLLING DANDEIIONS?
 A TROUBLESOME LAWN WEED

DandelionS are among the most ticularly troublesome in the northern half of the country and sometimes become so bad tha. the best method l of eradication is to plcw or spade the lawn and reseed it, but the United States Department of Agriculture ad- vises against this method except Tn | the most extreme cases. The gen. era1 care of the lawn is important | in controlling all lawn weeds, includ- ing the dande1ion-mowing, rolling, ferti1izing, and watering In other words, everything which contributes to the growth of the desired grasses will tend to combat weeds
 In small lawns cutting the individ- uaI plants at least 3 inches below the ground twice a year is frequently the most satisfactory method of control It does little good to cut them shall low. The best time to cut is in the spring when the dandelions are in early bloom, and again late in the summer. On large, heavily infested areas where the stand of grass is wig orous, spraying with solution of iron sulphate, 1 1-2 pounds to a gallon of water is practical, especially on bluegrass lawns. It has not been found successful in Bermuda grass red top, or bent grass.
 Spray , times, the first time just as the blossoms unfold. and at inter yaIs of a month thereafter It kills the tips of the grass and kills white clover entirely, but it will eradicate the dandelions to such an extent that khe surviving plants can easily be re moved the following year. In small areas or as a fo1low-up means after spraying, a good method of killing dandelions is to apply about a fa- blespoonful of kerosene or gasoline on the crown of individual plants Dry salt may also be used effectively on cut surfaces.
 The best way to handle pastures in Tested with dandelions is to improve the stand of grass by judicious fer tilizing, seeding and pasturing, so that the weeds will be crowded out Dan deIions do not infest weI1-managed pastures containing a thick, luxuriant stand of grass

COURT SCHALLENCED
 BY LABOR
Demand That Laws Passed By Congress Be Not Pass ed Upon Again By Su- preme Tribunal; Ask Also Immunity From Indict- ment for Entering Into Combinations to Regulate Wages.
(By Interna:ional News service. )

Denver, Colo, June 13.-An amend ment to the Constitution prohibiting the United States Supreme Court or other Federal court from passing on the constitutionality of an act of Con gross after it becomes a, law will be asked by organized labor following a recommendation made today by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor.
 Under the proposed amendment any bill or resolution passed by Congress and made law would be held valid under the Constitution.
 The executive council in it's report declares the power of Federal courts to pass on the constitutionality of laws made by Congress 'is one of the greatest menaces to measures intend ed to remedy evils in our govern ment''
 Unions picketing and other strik e tactics which they use will be legal ized under the Fede law and courts prohibited from granting injunctions in any case involving or growing out of dispute over conditions of labor or terms of employment. if another measure recommended today by the executive council and to be sponsored in Congress by OrSa nized labor be- comes law. The measure also pro vides immunity from indictment CT prosecution of any person who enters into any agreement or com mbination for the purpose of regulating wages, hours or working conditions.
 The proposed law Is designed to re- store the labor rights eliminated by the Supreme Court in it's recent de- cision on the Clayton act and to pro- test the unions in event the court s decision in the case of the Coronado Coal Company against the United Mine Workers of America is unfavor- able to labor. If the decision sustains the grounds of the suit the collective bargain will become unlawful, and employers will have the righ. to seize union funds as strike damages, ac- coTding to the annual report of the executive council, which reviews the case.
 It declares suits will be begun in every State where coal is mined and charges that the coal operators of several States have already refused to operate the machinery provided for in the agree mentS with the coal min CTS for the collection of a1ssessm ents to aid the striking miners in West Virginia
 The council recommends that the Am erican Federation of Labor pledge full support and aid to John L. Lewis head of the United Mine Workers, and the other officials of the organiza- tion, who are under indictment in In dianapoIis in proceedings which grew or1r of the coal strike
