There is one thing the legislature
of North Dakota ought to be able to
do this winter that will help to re-
lieve the high cost of government.
They could arrange 20 redistrict the
state and to cut down the number of
members of the house and senate
At present there are 113 members
of the house and 40 members of the
senate. A much less number would
be able to do better job of legis-
lating, and the expenses would be cut
materially. There is always ten
dency to increase membership in any
Legislative body with each redistrict-
ing. North Dakota will be ahead in
every respect if the opposite course is
pursued this time.
Both sides seems to favor redistrict-
ing But, of course, there will be
nothing like agreement on where the
changes shall be made. The league
wants to throw more representation
into the western counties, where the
league vote is strongest. This, very
likely, will not prove popular with the
lower house. A cutting down of MEM
bership, with the same relative proper
ton of representation, would favor
neither faction and should be the foun-
dation for some constructive action.

A state meeting of the Independent
Voters Association is to be held at
Bismarck in February, and reports
generally are to the effect that an at
tempt will be made to clean up the
management of the political organi-
cation. The I. V. A. as at present
constituted is a horribly expensive
proposition considering results.
Further, secretary less dictatorial in
his methods, would be appreciated by
many of us who have helped in the
fight against the Reds.

1t is hoped that the legislature will
not fail to do away with the immi-
grafton department at an expense of
some 100000 per year. It is folly
to tax our people to bring others into
the state when those who are here
are having hard time to even pay
their share of the cost of the state
government.

1t is said that up in Hazelton way
that Rep Roy Yeater, radical enough
under normal conditions, is doubly so
at present. No doubt because he is
enjoying the pleasure of belonging to
the minority Of the house of which he
is member. Before, he and his fell
lows could ride rough shod over all
opposition, and were in high glee.
A sensible experiment of some of
the league schemes should be tried out,
but Heaven Help Us from seeing men
like Rep. Roy Yeater given free reign.
Only a few weeks ago Mr.. Yeater
informed the Record man that it had
even been intended under certain con-
ditiOns to have the state take over
the packing plant at Fargo and the

WILSON DID NOT
AGREE TO MANDATE
Present Administration Does
Not Recognize Amy Alleged
Consent by Wilson.

Washington, April 12.-In refer
ence to the statement of Pertinox in
the Echo de Paris that Mr.. Wilson
assented to the assignment of the Yap
mandate to Japan, it was pointed out
here tonight that Secretary Hughes,
in his recent note refusing to accept
the mandate as valid emphasized the
statement that this Government did
not recognize any alleged assent on
the part of the former President to
such an agreement. He backed this
by quoting a memorandum by Mr..
Wilson, in which the latter specific
ally denied having at any time
agreed to the concession.
In this memorandum, made to the
State Department March last, Mr..
Wilson referred to the meeting now
mentioned by Pertino. He declared:
GAS matter of fact, all agree
ments arrived at regarding the as
signment of mandates were condi-
tional upon a subsequent agreement
being reached as to the specific
terms of the mandates, and, further,
upon their acceptance by each of the
principal allied and associated pow
ers. The esconsent of the United States
is essential both as to assignments
of mandates and the terms mad pro-
visions <Df the mandates after agree
ment as to the assignment and allo-
cation. The consent of the United
States, as you know, has never been
given on either point, as to the
Island of Yap.''

Toxic, April 12.-Plans for
sending to Washington a disting-

Pacific problems including man
dates, California, China, Siberia, i'm
migration and armaments are under
stood to be in process of arrange
ment.
Official announcement of the in
tention of this country to send such
a delegate who would act in ca
pacity similar to that of Premier
Viviani of France who is at present
in the United States has not as yet
been made but said such might oc-
cur.
The note from Charles E. Hughes,
American secretary of State, to the
allies declaring America does not
intend to abolish her rights in the
peace settlement especially in re-
gard to German overseas possession
served to crystaliZe the conviction
that the time had arrived to bring
about solution of all problems in
volving Japan and America before
the questions reach critical stage.
