EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY

SUNSET MAGAZINE poses the
question: "Are you lawbreaker"f
OF course you are! How could you
hope to obey all the laws passed by
your city, your state and your nat
ional congressf If you should en-
rloy the most able lawyer in the land
to guide you he could not read fast
enough to keep informed as to the
new legislation and multiplicity Of
court decisions. - Since we can ev-
en- hope to know what all the laws
are it follows that we must violate
many Of them (says the magazine)
Charles Alexander, editor Of the
Albany Oregon, Democrat, poet, nov
elist, critic literary editor, says the
truth is quite as Sunset has stated
it, we have reached state Of mind
where we must, by the terms Of nee
essily use our own discretion and
be our own judges of what is proper
and what is wrong. The fact that
thing is law no longer impresses us
1.-THE man who Graves drink and
can get it, SAYS the magazine "feels
no moral restraint. Tell him that he
is lawbreaker and he will laugh
and cite instances to prove that you
too, are lawbreaker' This in
an Indictment hard to escape says
philosopher Alexander. 1t is true in
dictment, one into which enters not
alone the idle ~ompositv of Ameri-
can laws in trivial matters, but also
the official lack of recognition of fun
damental tendencies in the individ-
ual which make toward his decent
treatment Of his fellow citizens'
= Hear his further: "Take the traf-
f1c law. if forty miles an hour Is
needed to make hill right ahead on
high gear and the way is clear and
safe, ninety-fve per cent of drivers
will speed to forty miles or more. 1t
Is matter Of their own judgement
A regard for fundamentals is the
greatest attribute of any fundamen-
tally free people the enforcement Of
detailed regulations is sign Of the
unfree serf.
"The more laws that are passed
tho less effective they will become"
Truth is the middle ground, the no.
man ISLAND where so few men ever
venture Law is good. Too little is
bad. Too much law is bad. A sensi-
bic amount Of law is just right. =
In America we have altogether too
much law, and illustrations cited
are merely examples Of what obtain

shortly before sailing for Europe and
asked him to appear in his place be-
fore the interior department in pro-
scouting the oil prospecting permits

to meet with Wheeler. A conference
was arranged and few days later
he testified, he met the Montana SEN

HUGHES OFFERS
TO ERECT NEW
BUILDING HERE
Would Build Structure For
Bank of North Dakota at
Second and Broadway
SAVING FOR STATE
Departments of N. ID, Located
at Fargo Could Be Moved
To Bismarck

Members of the Industrial COM
mission are considering PROPOSE
ton from E. A. Hughes to erect a
building for Bank Of North Dakota
opposite the Hughes apartments at
Second and Broadway. 1t is propos-
ed to erect a, $4,000 two story build
ing and rent it to the state for a net
return of 6 per cent on the invest
ment. The state is now paying in its
present location 81 900 month rem
tai and furnishing its own heat,
light and incidental expenses at a
cost of some $4,000 year more. The
present location has been rented
since 1919 at the $1,000 a month rem
tai or more than 100000 has been
paid out in rentals over that period
without considering alterations
! made and other incidentals.
The matter was discussed infor-
mally at meeting of the commits
sion Monday but no action was TAX
en-. Mr.. Hughes proposes to lease
the building to the state for a per-
iod of five years with an option of
Purchase within that time. 1t is es-
timated that the rent would amount
to between $4,000 and $4,000 a year
on the type of building Mr.. Hughes
has offered to build.
Members of the commission have
instructed C. r. Green to give Mr.
Hughes an estimate of the kind OF
building needed to care for the bank
If the deal goes through the state
would pay 5000 expense for plans.
1t is pointed out with increased
office facilities that some of the de-
partments Of the state now located
at Fargo could be moved to Bismarck
The Hotel Inspection and other re.
gulatory Offices such as the fooe
departments .ightfully belong at the
Capital City but cannot be located
here because of lack of space at the
capitol building. A survey Of condi'
tions brings home acutsly the neces'
sity for a new capitol building. Eft.
forts to secure legislative authority
for the use of money available fol
capitol building purposes have been
futile. There is accommodating money
in the capitol fund for new build
ing as soon as the legislature acts
In the meantime this money is being
loaned out through the Land Depart
ment
