FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM.

More than anything else today the state Of
North Dakota needs a constructive program OF
legislation and administration which shall commend
itself to public confidence and respect.
The two houses OF the assembly will be COM
posed in each case of members a majority of whom
have been elected as Independents. Even if it were
not so, it would be impossible for radical leaders to
force upon the state extreme measures, for they
would have to take into account an executive veto,
which it would require a two-thirds vote to over
ride. We may take it as a settled thing therefore,
that at this session there will be no further excur-
sions into the field of economic experimentation.
The majority given Governor Nestos in the recent
election is pretty conclusive evidence that the peo-
pic do not desire further experiment, but demand
rather the faithful operation OF those state activi-
ties already inaugurated and in operation, and to
which the state itself and this administration spe-
I officially are committed.
I; On the other hand, the Independent majority
In either house is not large. Those who constitute
it have been elected with the understanding that
they will cooperate in carrying out the policies
publicly set before the people of the state as the
Independent policies, and approved in three sep
iarate elections. That means, in briet, a sane, mod
crate, temperate, constructive policy. Any pro-
}posed legislation to which those terms can properly
be applied can be relied on to commend the full
listed strength of the independents, and the votes
OF a large group of moderate men who have been
elected as leaguers. and who, in general, have been
identified with the league movement.
But if the mistake should be made of attempt
ing to crystalline into legislation the passions which
have been aroused here and there in the heat of
campaigns, if vindictiveness should be permitted to
take the place of tolerance and neighborliness, moth
ling but mischief can result. 1t is to be hoped that
no one will be SO short sighted as. to assume that
the purpose of the coming session is to punish any,
body, or to rub salt into anybody's wounds. To at
tempt such a thing would be fatal to any prospect
fof real reconstruction.

PAMPER THE BRurEs.

Everyone is familiar with the reply of the
strong-minded lady who asked for a recipe on how
to govern a husband. "Feed the BRUTE was her
terse recommendation. sssf@.BA a. . 49,
SO, when one undertakes to produce for mar
ket the kind of meat that most people like to eat,
whether that meat be beef, pork or mutton, the first
consideration is to feed the brute, and feed it we'll.
The second is not to permit it to have too much
Asafederal veterinarian in Chicago, in discussing
the problem of getting live hogs to market in good
condition., mentions the fact that hogs that are
forced to forage for their food develop more heart
and lung capacity than those which do not have
this exercise, and they are therefore better able to
endure shipment for long distances. There is prob
ably no reason to question that statement. 1t stands
ito reason. 7, e.
From the standpoint of the consumer, however,
ftxercise is something to be. given food animals de-
|cidedly in moderation. If a hog Of one of the best
meat strains in the world were exercised vigorously
every day of his existence he would develop re-
1aarkable powers of endurance, and would probably
1nake.an excellent record in a speed test, but he
fwould prove to be mighty unsatisfactory eating.
He would be tougher than tripe. )
& How many people have been disappointed with
Ia steak that the butcher assured them was from a
prime two-year-old steer? The steak looked all
right, and there was plenty of fat on the carcass.
lButstheS meat was tough. Yet the butcher told the
atruthSabout the animal. The trouble was that the
icritter had had too much exercise. He had been
heavily fat, but he>had been allowed to cavort
karound until his muscles had toughened, as all
muscles do with vigorous use.
: 1t makes a difference whether an animal is stall
He'd or field fed. With equal feeding the meat in
tthe one case will be tender and in another tough.
Hence, while heart and lung capacity are important,
tup to a certain point, it. must be remembered that

duce tender, palatable meat, which can be done only
fif the animal is keptrather closely confined while

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
URGED.

The city of New York has a charter commission
which was appointed by the governor Of the state
Ito recommend changes in the city charter. That
commission has just received from its legal repre-
sentative the tentative draft of a charter contain
ing, among other things, provision for the system
Iof proportional representation in the selection of
the city's governing body. The,attitude Of the COM
mission, itself on the subject has not yet been in
dictated, and i'll fact the charter form has been be-
fore it for only a few days. The fact that such a
recommendation is made by the commissions own
however, indicates the existence Of a fairly
strong sentiment in favor of the proposed change.
In the explanatory memorandum accompanying the
draft the purposes to be attained are thus set forth:
~ Representation for any group of voters
representing a school of political or economic
thought or having a common program WHICH is so
that it's views should be afforded an OPP.
%portunity for, expression in the determination OF
the policies of the community (e. g., a group COM
posed of from one-seventh to one-ffth Of the %elector-
ate of a district, according to the size Of the votingr
population and the number of its representatives.,
a particularly desirable result in a large and un-
homogeneous community such as the city ofSNew
York; (2) a fair representation for each group and
no more; 60 selections of the best available candi-
dates, chosen solely with relation to municipal is
sues, by minority groups, which in time must force
like selections by the major parties; a. hopeful
candidates. sponsored by groups independent of
the control of the machine politicians who ordin-
arily control established parties; 90 closer rela-
lions between a representative and those who>have,
elected him, between whom in the case of a minor
.iy group no Organization can. intervene; ~ a.
.vigilant and an active-minded criticism and a ma
ture consideration of the measures proposed; (7)
vastly increased public interest in the selection of
members of the municipal legislature and in it's de-
bates and decisions and consequently Sl a greater
security against hastily conceived and possibly un-
considered, or perhaps one-sided, e%nactments which
may imperil the city's welfare. Certainly, whatever
else may be said i'll favor of or against the system,
it is essentially democratic in principle and effect.
