FISH ANDGAME
FUND, CHARGED
Unpaid Bills Still Pouring
In On Funds Now
Exhausted

With big deficits existing in two
divisions of the state fish and game
fund and bills still pouring in, men,
bers of the commission are endeav-
oring to clear up the records. Ex-
aminations conducted from avail
able sources indicate great extrava-
gance in expenditure Of money un-
der the fish and game commission
members controlled it, it is charged
by some of the present board men,
bers.
There is deficit on the travel
fund of the fish and game depart
ment of $2,725.65 and bills are still
coming in. The unpaid bills in the
auditors office amount $3,571.02.
There is deficit in the propagation

there are unpaid bills in the audit
or's office of $1,463.OO.
Expenses of the department rose
to high mark in 1921, according to
records of the treasurer's office,
when they amounted to $83,313.58.
Expenses in 1920 were SAL 1885
and in 1922 the expenses were $4O,-
1850.
It is said that one deputy warden
whose yearly salary was $1,000 sent
$4,000 in travelling expenses.

STATE UTILITY
ACT VALID IS
COURTS VIEW
Judge JansOnius in Memoran-
dunn Opinion Finds,It Is
Unconstitutional
A GAINST LOCAL CO.
Public Utility Company Had
Attacked Railroad B0dy's
Power
A GAINST LOCAL CO.

The legislative act comforting pow
ers over public utilities upon tn,
North Dakota board of railroad con-.
missioners, is constitutional, Judg:
Fred Jansonius of district court de.
cided. in an opinion handed down to
day in the case brought by the
Hughes Electric Company of Bis
marck. The case originated through
action by the electric company tc
prevent a hearing ordered by the
railroad commission into the rate
and charges of the company.
The board of railroad commission
ers is constitutional body, but the
Constitution does not define the du-
ties Of THE Board of Railroad Com
missioners further than to state gen
orally that the powers and duties
shall be as prescribed by law the
memorandum opinion recites.
"1n my opinion, the fact that the
legislature has named the board of
railroad commissioners as the pub
lie utility board, or rather given it
power over public utilities, instead
Of creating a separate board or COM
mission, and giving it powers as pro-
vided in this act (chapter 1872 of the
laws of 1919, does not invalidate the
act"
1t is we'll settled that statutes Gre.
ating state commissions are ordinar-
lily not unconstitutional as an inn
proper delegation of power, either or
the ground that they delegate legis,
lative power or that they delegate
judicial power, as power incidental
to administrative power may be con-
ferred by the legislature, Judge Jan
sonius holds.
Vulnerabl> Points.
The most vulnerable objections
urged, the opinion says, the broad
rule governing hearings, restriction
of evidence on appeal and the method
of review by the courts.
1T is we'll recognized that the
procedure before public service COM
missions is not required to comply
in all respects with the strict for
which obtain i'm courts of
law and equity jurisdiction"
Judge Jansonius states. "Ordinarily
the procedure before boards is not
restricted by technical rules prevail
ing in strictly judicial tribunals. The
purpose is not to exclude competeE.
evidence but to widen the range OF
inquiry.
"Section az gives the public util-
tiles the right to be heard and in
troduce their evidence in the hear
ing. Under this provision of the
statute it has the right to controvert
The claim asserted against it by pro-
curing and presenting evidence, and,
n my opinion, it has such hearing

:ess of law provision of our consti-
,ution."

GIVEN 0. K. OF
STATE SENATE
Supporters of Measure Roll
Up Big Majority on COM
mittee Report
TO BE PASSED TODAY
Lineup Forecasts Passage of
Measure by a Two to
4, One Vote
TO BE PASSED TODAY

The antimask bill was passed by
the state senate this afternoon 40 to
6, with three absent. Those opposing
the bill were Senators Gross, Inger-
son, Miklethun. Olson of Barnes,
Patten, and Whitmer.
Opposition from the Ku Klux Klan
and other sources to Senate Bill ii,
prohibiting the wearing of masks or
other regalia to conceal identity was
hit by landslide in the North Da-
kota senate yesterday afternoon.
On a roll call vote which stood
80 to Is, the senate adopted min
ority report of the committee on
state affairs recommending the
passage of the bill without amend
ment. The majority of the commit
tee had recommended the indefinite
postponement Of the measure.
When the roll was called only two
Independents and 13 Nonpartisan
League senators voted to kill the
measure. The Independents who
voted thus were J. E. Eastgate Of
Grand Forks county and r. J. Gar
diner of Nelson.
The size of the majority rolled Up
in favor of the bill was a surprise
to it's advocates, as it appeared early
in the afternoon that the vote would
be close.
As it was, however, it was a Non
partisan League senator who really
started the landslide. when William
Martin, of Morton, veteran OF
many legislative battles jumped to
his feet, after the reports Of the
minority and majority of the state
affairs committee had been placed
before the senate.
Martin Strong Against
"I didn't know much about the
Ku Klux Klan until the other night"
he began.
"Then this gospel sounder from
Grand Forks stood before a crowd
over at the court house and Dragged
about how they went around through
the country and imposed their will
on people and how none of them
we're ever convicted.
"Of course they're not convicted.
No one can identify them when
they're masked, and it looks to me as
,hough the courts of justice would
soon be powerless unless we did

TENTH INNING RALLY
WINS FOR ANERICUS
Small Attendance of Fans See
Greatest Game of Season at
Playground Friday

Popped up with a new manager
in charge and determined to win,
Americas ball-tossers forgot all
about the absence of Hub" Dowis
and went after Fridays ball game
at the Playground. And they
brought home the bacon.
A tenth inning batting rally,
coupled with Fincher's wild toss to
first and Morris lack of control
during a critical moment decided
the fate of the game. But let it
be told as it happened.
In the fourth frame Americas
started taking TALES when Dumas
slashed out a single through sec
ond after Wilkes had flew out to
left. He went to second on a pass
Miles handed Barnhart, and when
"Big Boy" Collier laced out long
single to left Lumas romped across
the rubber. Barnhart scored, after
Paul flew out to right, on Brown
safety to the same garden.
Blakely got two men across in
the next frame on a pass, a steal
and hit, but after this they were
unable to tally, and the score re-
manned tied until the tenth.
In this frame Blakely got George
Clark across the rubber on his hit
and steal, and Morris safety to
center, and things looked dark for
Americas.
With this lead facing them,
Americas came to bat with Wilkes
up. The poppy little third sacker
was unable to connect with Morris
slants, but managed to beat out the
throw when Fincher dropped the
ball, and went on to second on the
Blakely cageman's wild toss. Dumas
followed Wilkes and hit safe to
short, Wilkes going to third on the
play. Dumas stole second ana
Barnhart beat out a bunt. Collier
was passed, forcing Wilkes in home.
Paul hit to third and Dumas died
at home. Red Brown then came
up with the willow and laced out
a hot one through Woodruff at
third, scoring the winning run
when Barnhart crossed the plate.
