There are two persons seeking the
nomination in June for member of
the legislature from the Fifteenth
legislative district of Barnes county
P. R. Trubshaw, editor of the Times
Record, who has received the endorse
ment of the legislative convention and
Ben F. Northrdge. 1t is pertinent and
proper that each candidate tell the
voters just where he stands if he
should be elected to represent the dis
trict. The former has very decidedly
stated his stand and where he can he
found if he goes to Bismarck wlthodt
any equivocation or evasion ard you
will always know where to .'It y'"r
fingers on him. On the other hand
Mr.. Northridge has not stated w1ich
side of the fence he will br>' Z u.
We have offered him space to define
his position but up to this time he
has been as dumb as an oyster. There
is no way that any person can strad-
die the fence and get away with it..
He must be on one side or the other
Mr.. Northridge is being supported by
the nonpartisan league and unless he
comes out and says different he will
be regarded as favoring that class
and the legislation they want to put
through. If Mr.. Northridge wants to
come through clean he will either say
he is for the league or against it.
there is only one straight and narrow
path to follow. Which road are you
going to travel on, Mr.. Northridge?
The independent road to salty in
state government or the socialistic
road to state socialism as advocated
by the nonpartisan leaguers? By
happy, the people are entitled to know
where you are standing.
The automobile trade is a fair in
dex of the state of prosperity. In
creased sales of motor cars prove that
the buying power of the people is in
creasing. A manufacturer Of a we'll
known expensive car says his produc-
ton this year will be rs percent above
that of any previous year. Another
concern sold more cars in April than
in any other month in it's history. Still
another maker of moderate priced
cars says that April was the biggest
month in IA years, and two others say
that they will have done more bust
ness by June 18th than during all
1921. This is good barometer for
the condition of the country Locally
many new cars are being bought this
spring and our dealers are doing a
good business. If people have money
to buy Injuries like automobiles, then
they have no license to stand on the
street corners and kick about hard
times and talk about not being able
to pay their grocery and other bills.
Let's get through talking hard times
and put a little optimism in our lives.

FAST CLIP" PRIME CAUSE
OF CRIME, SAYS GOV. MILLER
Every One Demands Orchestra Seat
and Shuns Gallery, He Ayers

Albany. n. j., Jan. 20.-Goverror
Miller gave his views on the prevalence
of crime throughout the country and its
causes during a discussion yesterday Of
the matter OF dealing with lawbreakers.
There are many causes of the crime
wave" the Governor said. "Prohibi.
tion Is one, but not one Of the main
causes. Disrespect Of the law that IL
has bred. greatest among people who
need most the protection OF the law,
has had undoubtedly a bad effect.
Il suppose the war had something to

has had tremendous influence, because
II makes Il 80 easy to commit a crime
and get away.
we are living at a pretty fast clip,
and there are people who like to get

Every one wants TO occupy an orchestra
seat in life; mono wants 10 sit in the

The Governor astonished the Senate
yesterday by sending in a formal report
stating what use he had made of his
executive power OF pardon and granting
reprieves. This showed that ne had
given only two pardons, three repr!eyes
and twelve combinations Of sentence in
1921. Not in many years has executive
cIemency been used 50 spar!ngly.

F|NEGAN REPORTS
ON SCHOOL FUND
State Superintendent Asserts
$4,000, 900 Is Due for
Year 1o2o-21
TEACHERS LACK $4,000

Harrisburg. Jan. 20.---There Is now
due the school districts of Pennsvlva =
MIA for the school year Of 1020-21 ap-
proximatCly $4,000. 900. according to
DR.. Finegsn, State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction. That sum was due
in August, 1921, and the head of the
public school system says it should have
been paid. HIS department, however,
he says, has no official responsibility
IN the payment further than making ap-
porIionmcnts and issuing warrants.
The responsibility for the payments
Of the funds rests with the fiscal off =
GERS Of the State, DR.. Finegan says.
Those officers are Samuel S. Lewis,
Auditor General, who was the first
state official TO call attention 10 the
tangled financial affairs Of the state.
following q special audit Of his own
department. and Charles A. Snyder,
state Treasurer, who has asserted the
state will have enough money to meet
its bills sometime.
DR.. Finegan yesterday issued a state
ment in reply TO the Pennsylvania
state Grange and other organizations
that have been adversely criticizing him
and his management of the depart
ment.
All Of the funds appropriated for the
1o10-1o%0 school year have been paid,
1t was April Z. 1921, before the last
of those payments were made DR.. Fine
gan gives the final dates for the pay
ments OF the last three years, and says
there has been no greater delay In pay :
ments for the last year than in prior
years; but he adds that the failure to
make payments when due IS a serious
interference with good school admin
istration.
The statement. which is the first
DR.. Finegan has made during the month
or more he has been under criticism,
follows in part:
''I find much confusion and mis-
understanding throughout the State in
relation TO the payment of the State
school funds. The opinion appears TO be
quite prevalent that none Of the State
money for the school year 1920 1921
has been paid, and that only a part OF
! the Statn funds for the school year
/ 1920 has been paid.
The act appropriating State funds
specifically provides that the funds ap-
prOpriated are for the support of the
schools. for the two fiscal years be-
ginning on the first Monday of July.
1919.
"All the funds appropriated BY the
STATE for the support of the public
schools for the fiscal years from July,
1919, to July. 1920, have been paid.
For the fiscal year from July, 1920
TO July, 1921. several separate appro-
priations were made for the support oi
public schools. The two principal ap
preparations were for teachers salaries
under the Woodruff act, and the gen
crRl appropriation based upon the mum
ter Of teachers employed and the census
Of school children.
Under the Woodruff act approx
mately S6.OOO.000 was appropriated.
That amount has been paid, with the
exception Of about 500. 900.
The amount of the general appro.
priation was approximately $4,000, =
900. OF that amount about $500 600
has been paid. There is still due tho
districts Of the State from that fund
approximately $4,000. 900.
Those funds were due in August

JhInks Council Acted Prema-
+ turely in Doubling Appropria-
n ton First Asked
ALSO HITS No-LIMlT PLEDGE

C9uncilman James A. Develin, the
G1lv member of Council who voted
against the $1,000. 900 pledge for the
! sesqui- Centennial, explained his posi-
ton today by saying that he did not
think Council should double the sun,
asked without first knowing the full
scope and character and the probable
total cost Of the exposition.
He said he agrees with Herbert Hoo
ycr's idea Of the fair; that there should
be no vast array of exhibits, but that
the representations Of the worlds re-
cent achievements should be epitomised.
When Council granted pledge Of
5000 600 to the exposition yeste day
Mr.. Develin wanted the sum cut in half,
snd opposed the clause which pledges
''as much more as is needed.
He said he will file statement OF his
reasons for voting against the resolution
at the Council meeting next Thursday.
His statement follows:
The original suggestion made by the
spokesman for the Sesqui- Centennial
Committee at recent meeting Of Coun 4.
ell was that the city's share Of this
enterprise should be $4,000, 900. With
out any explanation, that has now been
doubled with the added carte blsnche
provision and as much more as may be
required
In my Judgment, Council should not
bird itself at this time 20 n greater sum
than that first proposed without n full
explanation from the committee as to
character, scope and probable cost Of
the intended exposition, together with
comparative statement Of the cost and
sxtept Of other exhibitions, upon which
70 base judgment OF what the city )
share should be.
I'm no event should the city bind It.
self to an unlimited expenditure such
as that contained in the resolution re
ported by the committee of the whole
especially until il can be ascertnined
how much, II any, of the expenditure
will go for lasting city Improvements.
THE requirements for essentials are
30 great that commitments for non -cs-
sentinls should be mado with caution
( and under reasonable safeguard, partic-
ularly rs the extent Of the plan, and the
amount Of money to be expended are TO
be under the direction Of an independent
corporation which Is not subject TO the
control Of Council"
When Mr.. Develin proposed the
changes in Council yesterday a warm
debate followed. Mr.. Weglein relln-
quished the rostrum to Councilman Cox
and urged the defeat OF the amendments

POWERS: TO REVEAL.
CHINESE TREATIES
Formal Approval Of American
Proposal to Publish Docu-
ments Expected Today
NAVAL EXPERTS STILL BUSY
By the Associated Press

Washington. Jan. 20.--Formal aaop"
tlon today Of the American proposal for
publication of all treaties and under
standings relating to China's interests,
By the Far Eastern Committee OF the
Arms Conference, was forecast today
BY the general approval given the sus.
sesticn at its preceding session.
The terms Of the resolution, embody-
ing the general decision on the proposal
reached yesterday, were understood to
provide that each government make
known not only the agreements to which
such government itself was party, but
also all separate agreements and under
standings entered into by It's nationals
and OF which it has knowledge.
Replying TO the suggestion of the
japanese, presented with their general
approval of the proposal yesterday that
1t might be very difficult for any ma
tion to provide n complete list Of the
various engagements of private indi.
viduals and corporations, Secretary
Hughes, who offered the proposal, stated
that no Government could be expected
TO list obligations of which It had nc
knowledge.
He added, however, that such On
gagements might easily be Of great i'm
portance and suggested that those oi
which the Governments did have knowl-
edge be made known.
In presenting his proposal Secretary
Hughes expressed the view that full
knowledge by the Powers represented
of all existing commitments in China
would be Of great did In any interna-
tioual discussion Of Chinese problems.

through, final revision and now COM
pleted except for the Pacific fortifca-

Turkey would welcome any measure

If the Powers desire to assure Europe s
return 10 normal conditions they must
begin repairing the grave injustice and
re- establish peace in tho Orient, without
which trade depression will continue.
"The participation Of Turkey in the
