ASKS OFFICERS
TO WATCHLAW
VIOLATIONS
Attorney General Sends Out
Letters to Peace Officers
Of the State

George Shafer, attorney wants
every sheriff, marshal, constable 0,
other peace officer in the state tt
be real watchdog of the law, &C.
cording to letter sent to all such
officers in North Dakota which he
sent out today.
He reminds the police officers anG
sheriffs that their ddty is not mere.
ly one of serving papers but to Sc.
cure conviction of all law violators;
that where the law says one thine
and the sentiment Of the community
says another they must remembe,
their oath and obey the law. de
makes specific reference to prohibi.
ton, anti-snuff md gambling laws.
He adds, however, that officers
must use tact and Judgment; that
they must not use such methods IN
obtaining evidence as will arouse re-
sentiment among fair minded people.
The attorney general also makes a
plea for harmony and cooperation
between the officers and the states
attorneys. He says. the former were
at all times entitled to the advice
Of the latter while the prosecutors
had right to look to the officers for
evidence in prosecuting their cases.
Regarding the duties of the Off
GERS the attorney general says:
"Some sheriffs and police officers
have the. idea that their duty begins
when they receive a warrant from
the court and that it ends with the
execution thereof. That is the wrong
impression. Their duty begins when
they receive knowledge, either from
personal observation or from reli-
able sources that . crime has been,
or is being committed and it ends
only when the offender has been ar
rested and convicted"
He quotes from liquor, snuff and
gambling laws to show that penalties
up to $500 fine and loss of office
may follow wilful failure to support
the laws.
"The task Of the law enforcing
officers in these days is no easy
one" declares the attorney general.
"Sheriffs and other local police Of
ficers are often embarrassed in cases
when the path Of duty points in one
direction and local sentiment or pub
lie Indifference seems to i9jicate an-
other. To those Of you who are thus
situated ! would say Have regard
for your oath.'"

SUBMIT PLAN.


Paris, Jan. 22.-The new Fren
reparations plan ready for submit
sion to the reparations commissio
today provides for German domes
tic loan of three billion gold mark
guaranteed by the Reichs' leadin
industrals. With the exception
five hundred million gold mark
which would be used in stabiilizine
the currency the proceeds of the pro-
posed loan would be paid on the al
lied reparation account. The guar.
antees demanded by France are prac.
ticaly the same as she now holds.
Premier Poincare, Louis Bartho
and the other French experts make
the proposal contingent on the with
drawal of all resistance to Frances
Ruhr policy or to allied action in
other territories occupied under the
Versailles treaty. In commenting on
the fact that the plan provides for
no moratorium French officials point
out that two-year delay would be
considered if Germany agreed to SUBJ
NIT to the coercive measu permit
ted by the treaty. As the case now
stands it is said there is little use
in offering moratorium if the Ger
man government refused to recog-
nize the treaty that imposed the
payments.
