PEOPLES FORUM
Baldwin, N. D., Feb 4, 1924.
Editor of The Bismarck Trihnne.

Editor of The Bismarck Tribune:
Knowing that petition is being
circulated in the county of Burleigh
and state Of North Dakota, petition
ing the Honorable Board Of County
Commissioners, to submit the ques-
ton to the voters of Burleigh county
whether the county court shall have
increased jurisdiction!
This has caused me to investigate
the laws that govern county courts
with increased jurisdiction, and from
what experience l had as a justice
of the peace, also in laws, l will say
that / will disapprove the County
court increased jurisdiction" for the
reason,
First, 1 can not see where the
taxpayers of 'Burleigh county would
be benefited by it, really l believe
1t will increase taxes for, the tax
payers Of Burleigh county, for the
reason, according to population of
Burleigh county, the county judges

Burleigh county taxpayers are now

Second. / do not approve S. 894O,
Of the compiled laws of North Da-
kota for the year 1918, as to the
jurors attending court, for the rea-
son at the discretion Of the. Judge
of such county court juror would
be compelled to serve every month,
not to exceed in all one calendar
year. This, Of course, would cause
hardship upon many farmers, and in
order to dispense justice farmers
according to law must attend and
serve as juror in court as we'll as
any other citizen.
The terms of the district court in
Bdrleigh county is in June and De-

You are thoroughly imbued, my
dear, with the idea that no one
woman can be Pill things to one man.
If you marry Paula Perier, after the
first flush, of the honeymoon is over,
you will miss finding in her the
calmness and quiet affection which
you think only can give you.
Of course you are wrong, Dick.
Either one Of US could probably give
you everything you desire if you
ask it of US, but you never will. From
Paula you will ask the fire and al

content and comfort of an every day

your home in the future. This, dear
Dick, is not because could not

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Here's a springtime riddle for
everybody to guess said the Riddle
Lady next day when she arrived in
Riddle Town, having driven the
whole way from her palace on the
hill in her golden coach.
The Riddle Lady didn't like auto

Bird sits,
And time must 60 slowly for don't

While Daddy goes hunting-he digs
and he tugs,
And brings her breakfast of earth
