ULSTER'S

AS nearly as can be ascertained Just now, the
Ulster faction headed by Premier Sir James Craig,
while opposing the idea of uniting with southern
Ireland in an all-lreland government; desires to en-
Joy all the advantages which are to be conceded to
the southern portion of the island under that plan
and at the same time to continue to enjoy all the
advantages, which she possesses at present under
the northern parliamentary form.
Ulster now has a separate parliament of her
own which has jurisdiction over her purely domes-
tic affairs. That local control falls considerably
short Of that which prevails in the overseas domin-
ions, especially in the matter of fiscal arrangements.
The province also has representation in the imperial
parliament, as all Ireland has had in the past, and
as the dominions have not. Southern Ireland, I'M
der the dominion form will have a larger measure
OF control over her finances and other local affairs,
will be relieved Of all contributions to the imperial
treasury except for her proportion of the national
debt and the payment of pensions, and will not be
represented in the imperial parliament. The present
demand made on behalf of Ulster is that she be Civ
en- all the advantages which her neighbor will enjoy
under the dominion plan, that she retain her own
parliament and her status apart from the rest of the
island, and also her representation in the imperial
parliament.
That looks like a case of eating ones cake and
having 1t, and there is no prospect that any such
contradictory terms will be granted. Ulster, with
new boundaries fixed, will be permitted to retain
her separate status if she insists on it, and her i'm
perial representation will remain undisturbed. But
she must pay for the privilege Of representation in
additional taxation.

RELIEVED FROM EMBARRASSMENT

1t would be interesting to know just what the
late Industrial commission would have done with
some of the state enterprises if the recall election
had gone the other way and the commission had re-
NAMED in control. While only the surface of the
affairs OF the Bank OF North Dakota has been touch
ed, enough has been made known to demonstrate
the thoroughly hopeless condition of that institution
as a financial agency. The Home Building associa-
ton had become worse than bankrupt long ago. At
the time of the election the main facts concerning
the condition of that department was just becoming
known. The Drake mill had been investigated by
an audit concern of the commissions own choosing.
and which cannot by any stretch of the imagination
be considered to have been unfriendly to, the admin
%istratlon. The audit Of the mills affairs showed a
woful condition of ineptness and incompetence, and
it now develops that the auditing company recon-
mended the sale of the property in order that the
state might rid itself of an enterprise which was the
cause of continual loss and whose affairs had been
got into a hopeless middle, the full facts in which
could not be ascertained even by expert accountants
employed for that purpose.
If the election had resulted in the retention of
the old commission that body would have had a
beautiful mess on its hands. What would it have
done with it? Would it have taken the shortest cut
out Of the difficulty and liquidated the Bank of
North Dakota, wound up the affairs of the Home
building association and sold the Drake mill as its
own audit company recommended? We trow not.
Anything so simple and sensible would have
been a confession of failure, and the league leaders
never CONFESS TO failure, no matter how aDundantly
they may achieve it. They have hung on. and as
one means and the chief means thereto they would
have continued their Juggling Of state finances so
that decrepit institutions could have been kept run
ming, no matter what the cost. The sale of certain
bonds had been effected, at exorbitant rates, it is
true, but contracts for the sale had been made. I'm
less restrained by the courts the delivery of the
bonds would have been effected and new money
would have been received. It would have been an
easy matter for f:nanciers Of the stripe Of those who
have handled the affirs of the state to divert money
from one fund to another, to use funds intended for
constructive work in the payment of losses, and this
method undoubtedly would have been employed. 1t
is a question how many millions would nave been
wasted in this manner before another election time
rolled around, but there certainly would have been
millions in it.
The election resulting as it did has relieved
Messrs. Frazier, Lemke and Hagan OF the embar-
rassment Of having to continue a system of finance
SO dizzy that it must already have had all their
heads swimming.

THE FOUR-NATION TREATY.

The originals of the Declaration. Of Indepen-
dence and the Constitution of the United States have
been transferred from the state department to the
Library Of congress upon order of President Harding.
This order was issued upon the recommendation of
Secretary of State Hughes, because the state depart
rnent building is subject to fire risk and, moreover,
it has no exhibition room in which to place such
documents for the benefit of the visiting public.
Thousands of Americans are annually expressing a
desire to see these two most valuable documents
connected with the history Of the American govern
ment.
Both the documents were deposited with the
state department September Is. 1888, and they have
been officially in the custody of the secretary of
state ever since. 1t appears from Secretary Of State
hughes letter to the president recommending that
they be transferred to the care of the congressional
library, that these documents have experienced a
rather precarious existence at times. On August
~, 1914, Just before the capture of Washington by
the British, these documents, together with other
very valuable records, were spirited away from
view expressed.b by opponents of the treaty, that this
treaty undertakes to do on a lesser scale what the,
League OF Nations covenant undertook to do in a
more complete way. If that is a defect, the treaty
treaty ought to be opposed. AS a matter Of fact,
the treaty is likely to be accepted by the senate OF
the United States and by the people as a very inn
portant contribution to world peace in that Sc
practically assures peace among the four great
powers who are Il. become parties to the treaty. 81.

ATTITUDE TOWARD THE COURTS.

Attorney General Johnson is right in his COM
inent on the practice which has become altogether
too common OF attributing corrupt motives to- iudg-
es whose decisions do not accord with the wishes Of
the critics. He declares, quite correctly, that such
venality and corruption as have characterized the
actions OF courts-and there has been some OF it
has been due to the pressure of schening and selfish
political interests.
One OF the surest ways to impose official court
corruption on ourselves is to insist, everywhere and
always, that decisions contrary to our own inter
ests and desires are necessarily corrupt decisions.
lf that practice is persisted in it will not be long be-
lore respectable and self-respecting men will refuse
to serve as udges. A clean man does not willingly
immense himself in a bath of slime. Factions and
ti1reasoning criticism of courts tend inevitably to
keep good men off the bench. With men Of the
opposite class placed in such positions the admin
3lstratlorl OF justice becomes debased, and court IA
svers are for sale to the highest bidder.
s8s ss This IS not to say that courts are above criti-
cism FIJI logic of opinions, and the manner n
which recognized law IS applied to particular cases
are, we take il, matters on which intelligent beings
may differ even from the judges, whose declarations
are final. Neither is ii to Be held that the charpe
XII corruption may not be brought against 4 iudge
who is actually corrupt. But It should be under

tile gravest circumstances And tie man who

which do not take into account the capital invest
ment which, of course, must be added to the operat-
ing expense. But nowhere is account taken Of the
item of taxes. Observations recently made CON
corning the taxation ofjbuildings owned by the state
apply with equal force to this case.
If the Drake mil had been operated by a pri-
vate concern it would have been paying taxes. Be
coming the property of the state it is exempted from
taxation. The transfer of title, therefore, operates
to deprive the state Of the revenue which would
otherwise have been derived from this property,
The revenue thus eliminated must be made UP BY
additional taxation on other property. Every farm
eT, every merchant. every owner of property of any
kind i'll: North Dakota is required to pay more taxes
in order to make up that shortage.
Let it be understood that the Drake mill is be-
ing operated at a direct loss to the people Of NORTH,
Dakota SO long as its receipts are not sufficient:
To meet all operating expenses of every>
kind. .v.
To provide a fund out of which to pay in
surance and similar charges and to offset such
occasional losses as are incurred in even the
most capably managed business
To pay reasonable interest on every dollar
of capital invested.
And to pay the taxes which would have
been collected had the business remained in
private hands.
When these conditions have been met the state
may begin to consider the matter of dividends, but
until they are met the plant is running at a loss.
