something was wrong with the
play, and it was soon withdrawn.
When Miss Dawn's grandmother
marched overland with Brigham
Young and his Mormon pioneers,
to redeem the Utah wilderness,
and make it amazingly fertile, she
had a little box of pins. They
were not SO abundant in those
primitive days. One by one they
dwindled on the toilsome journey,
until, when Utah was reached
there were but five left. They
were as precious as modern mole
cules of radium. Grandma guard
ed them as she would her life, and
used to loan them out cautious
ly when babies were born. They
led busy life. Miss Dawn, who
acts, sings, and plays the, violin
in the Follies, does not have much
use for pins. Delicate revue cos
tunes require safer fastenings.

ASK FINANCES
FOR n. D. MILL
BE PROVIDED
Attorney General George Sha
fer Suggests Appropria-
tiOn For Ii Be Made
AGAINST BOARD LAW
Would Not Have II Repealed
Without Definite Re-
spOnsibility

An appropriation by the legislature
to assist in financing the state mill
and elevator at Grand Forks is asked
by Attorney General George Shafcr
in a statement today. The statement
is as follows:
81 am opposed to the proposal now
pending before the Legislature to
repeal the Board of Managers and
vest in the Industrial Commission
the direct control and direction of
the Mill and Elevator. While l have
for long time thought it best to
operate this industry through a
separate Board of Directors, rather
than through Board or Commission
of state officials. still / see no OBJ
lection to vesting the sole authority
in the Executive, if the Legislature
wishes to centralize responsibility
and the Executive desires to direct
ly administer the business. But to
impose the full legal authority and
responsibility upon the Industrial
Commission, particularly upon the
theory that, in fact, one member
shall exercise all the authority and
assume all the responsibility is not
a desirable thing to do. 1t does no.
lie in the power Of any member to
exonerate the others from response
bility by written release, or other
wise, however willing he may be to
do so. Members of Board or Com
mission. charged with certain duties
under the law, may not by under
standings between them, or by the
acts Of any, diminish the authority
and responsibility of some, and in
crease it for others. If the Legis-
lature sees fit to place this respon-
sibility on the Commission, it would
certainly be the duty of all the men,
bers to function according to the
provision of the law.
"It has been suggested that addi
tiOnal finances may be necessary to
properly operate the business. If
the enterprise continues to lose
heavily, or if wheat rises to an eX-
ceptionally high price next fall, it
is probable that additional funds
may be required. l hope the Leg
islature will take cognizance of that
contingency. and if it wishes to con-
tinue the experiment, provide by
appropriation, or otherwise, the fur
ther funds needed. Regardless of
who operates the mill, whether it is
the Board Of Managers, Governor or
Industrial Commission, it is incum-
bent upon the State to adequately
finance it while it is in operation.
Ii no provision is made by the Leg
islature, apprehend that it may be-
come necessary for the Bank of North
Dakota to. make further reasonable
advances to enable the Mill to pur-
chase wheat next season. But no
definite sum could be pledged at this
time, for the obvious reason that
the condition Of the Bank at the
time and the necessary requirements
of the other institutions and depart
ments of the State would have to be
taken into consideration. In any
event. am unwilling to make the
matter Of Mill financing, or the de-
gree Of authority and responsibility
of the members of the Commission,
a subject of bargaining between the
members. either for the purpose of
shifting responsibility or as an in
ducement for legislative action
