Highway Commission Gives
Facts in Reference to
Saving on Paving Job

In response to . request as to
the saving which could be made
in the cost Of constructing the
pcn;tentiary highway under the
the plan outlined by the state
highway commission, that body
issued the following statement:
"A considerable saving can be
made in the cost Of constructing
the penitentiary road provided
the plans of this commission are
adopted. The contract bid for
bitulithic or black top for this
road is $125,00O. The work can
be done for $90.000.O0 if concrete
paving is employed and the rec
concentrations of the commission
followed in this respect. This
will make q reduction of $780,
100000 in the cost for this item
alone. A small saving can also
be effected in the cost of engi-
neering. Under the plan con-
templated by the county the
usual engineering charge would
be five per cent of the contract
price or in round figures about
$6,OOO.OO.
Engineering costs, if done
under the commissions direc-
tiOn, will run about four per
cent, one-half of which will be
borne by the federal government
and the balance paid from. the
state aid fund. This should pro-
duce saving of about $2,5OO.O0.
How much may be saved in con-
structiOn costs by the employ
ment of convict labor Is difficult
Of exact statement, but it may
be roughly and conservatively
said that the reduction should
run about. a 500 per day. The
fact that the work would be done
under the immediate and direct
supervision Of the commissions
engineers will insure the very
best Of construction work."

nation, and this state had q total ex-
port business of more than $2.0OO,OOO,
leading Idaho, New Mexico, Utah and
Nevada in the years showing, figures
received from the federal department
Of commerce today show.
North Dakota shipped merchandise
abroad during 1924 to the amount of
81, 199, lC3, and finished the year in
forty-siXth place in the list of states
and regions seeking foreign outlets
to their products, according to the
statistics. Vermont, with exports Of
$2,367,2l2 just led North Dakota by
slightly over $150,00O, while Idaho
fell behind North Dakota by more
than 100000.
The total export trade of the Unit
ed States for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1924, amounted to $4,49S,-
l5l 1886, the figures show.
North Dakota's reported wheat
shipments abroad for the year under
review amounted to $l,093,342 and
comprised the only commodity class
flied in the list. The balance Of the
exports was distributed among minor
commodities which were not classi-
fled in the export list.
Exports amounting to over $780,
100000 for the year were attained by
eleven states" Of the fifty-two states
and regions included in the tabula-

the entire list.
This is the first time in the history
Of government trade statistics, ac-
cording to DR.. Julius Klein, director
of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, under whose charge
the figures were compiled, that an
attempt has been made to show the
relative yearly standing of the diff

ACT BACKED BY KHAN
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, June l.--Oregon lost
in Supreme Court today its fight to
compel children to attend public
schools. The court held that the
state cannot, in enforcing compulsory
education laws, require that the child
attend public school to the exclusion
Of private or parochial schools.
In educational and religious circles
keener and wider interest was shown
in the attack upon the constitutions
ality Of the Oregon public school law
than in any other controversy which
reached the Supreme Court in recent
years.
Law Enacted
Like most states, Oregon has a
compulsory education law which re-
quires children to attend school, and
prescribed the course of study. The
right to enforce such regulations has
not been seriously questioned in the
courts. But in 1922 the voters of Or
egon, 1866 to 103,6s5. went step
further, and enacted law under
which children between the ages of 8
and l6, with some exceptions, would
after September, 1926, be required to
attend public" schools.
Opponents of this step charged
that the law was due to the activity
Of the Ku Klux Klan. Suits were
promptly brought in the federal dis
trict court by the Society of the Sis
ters of the Holy Names Of Jesus and
Mary, conducting parochial schools,
and by the Hill Military Academy, n
private school. Enforcement of the
law was restrained, and the state ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
Joined in opposition to the new
law eventually were a number Of re-
ligious organizations, Jewish as we'll
as Christian. and many educational
institutions, colleges and universities,
as we'll as private and parochial
schools. The broad contention was
Continued on pas" y

Commissioner Swanson Can
not See Great Saving in
State Doing Work

UriscOil, ~. H., May Lo' I9I0'
Editor Tribune:
In answer to your editorial Of
May ~, which Ia headed Delay.
ing an Improvement" am ask
ing you to publish this letter in
your public FORUM There has
been considerable publishing by
you regarding the penitentiary
road. The statement has been
made, particularly by you, that
there would be a saving of $4,000
if concrete is laid instead of
black base and asphaltic top.
Where any one gets such figures
l cannot understand and if your
$4,000 is correct l will with
draw all my opposition to con-
crete. From my personal obser-
vatiOn and experience as Country
Commissioner to see which paving
is best l have determined that
the asphaltic paving is much
superior and will cost Burleigh
County much less in the long run.
l will ask you to inspect, for
your own satisfaction, the con-
crete on both sides of the Mem
Orial bridge and the black paving
on the bridge. will also ask
you or any other taxpayer to in
spect the black paving around the
court house block and to COM
pare it with concrete of the same
age with the same amount of
traffic. For my part am we'll
satisfied, and have been for a
long time, that asphaltic pave
ment is the best for heavy traf-
fic roads.
As to price l will give you the
bids as submitted to the County
Board:
CONCRETE

Taking the lowest bid. for
Black and the lowest bid for con-
crete, both made by the HaggArt
Company, there is a difference
of $7.955.40. That is all the saw
ing that I can figure that will be
made II concrete 10 laid in place
Of Black paving. l consider and
believe that the asphaltic IL SO
much superior that the difference
will soon be made up in savings
on maintenance and repair
costs. Regarding the saving by
convict labor l have an idea Of
my own that it is overrated, but
l am of the opinion that the
contractor will accept convict
labor and give the state proper
credit for the same.
There was some talk of having
concrete laid and let it on q cost
plus basis. We tried the cost
plus on the river bridge and
when we got through It was too
much cost. So I will not approve
Of such 4 deal. As rough esti-
mate by one bidder for the cost
of concrete he gave $95,000 to
100000. The sky is the limit
to me on that. As to rec0mmen-
datiOns by engineers l have ne
yer heard one. All they tell US Is
that both kinds of paving are
approved by the Bureau of Fed
eral Roads and l cannot call that
recommending any certain kind
of paving.

HEAVY RAINFALL

Fargo, June ALL the extreme
western section of North Dakota was
drenched with one of the heaviest
downfalls Of the year yesterday and
last night. A small section round
Medina was swept by heavy wind
and hail storm doing considerable
damage while light rains were gen.
eral over the entire state. The rain
was welcomed everywhere as adding
greatly to the already excellent crop
prospects.
The rain largely came in showers,
following three days of exceptional
heat and while these showers were
general it is evident that some few
sections were missed entirely or got
only light rains.
The forecast today is for thunder
storms with partly cloudy and cooler
weather promised for Tuesday.
Lisbon was the hottest point in

he thinks no new laws are needed
TO restrain them from marauding while
awaiting trial, but only a change in
court customs. He claims that the
precedent whereby they, like all other
classes of citizens, receive low bail, is
not founded on legal statutes but on
long standing custom Of jurists and
that in the professional criminals case
IL is time for a new precedent, high
bail.

In hitting the crime wave, the judge
has most frequently used the 100000
bond bludgeon, but has fixed other |
amounts from $4,000 10 S2,200,000.
He is careful to specify the kind of
prisoner TO whom he thinks such bonds |
should apply, saying:
SHOULD PROTECT PEOPLE.
Il have looked through perhaps 40 |

@We talk about the protection which |

Mr.. Farmer who manages the prop

he has never lost faith in the Silver

sacrifice to himself and neglect to
his farm, near Meridian, made the
pilgrimage to the mine and by con-

Mr.. Farmer could never have done
what he has except for the belief in
himself and the mine he engendered
in George Parkin and his nephew
Jack Evans Of Meridian, who with
Mr. Farmer are the largest stock
holders of the company. Mr. Parkin
has assessed himself and Jack year
