OFFICIALS IN 1882
would Be first. TO
GET FOUR-YEAR Term
Governors Proposal intends to
Unite State, County and
Presidential Elections

Il Governor George Skaters ideas
on four year terms for state and
county officials are accepted by the
state legislature and voters the Off
cials elected In 1857 win be the first
to serve the additional period.
This ID known to b the plan which
the governor has In mind, and It will
probably be incorporated In any
resolution which may Be drawn and
introduced In the Legislature for the
submission Of . constitutional amend
ment along this line.
The plan favored by the governor
Is for the present session Of the legis-.
lature to adopt amendments under
which the terms Of county and state
officers would extend to four years.
It would be provided in the amend
ment that It should become effective
when the officials named at the gen.
eral election Of 1852 came into office.
Thus the amendment would be
voted on at the June primary IN 1880
but would not apply to any candidates
nominated ct that time.
Governor 6hafer feels that under
this plan candidates for office in 1880
could urge the adoption Of the amend
ment without mourning the suspicion
that they might be seeking to extend
their own terms Of office.
His plan has the further advantage
that 1t would make the state and pres
idential elections coincide. This is
obviously the logical plan, since II
such an amendment should 60 into
effect In 1880 the state and prssiden-
tial elections would alternate and the
state would still have the expense and
other troubles Of an clection every
| two years.

SHEEP MEN DEMAND
State Dog LAW TO
PROTECT W0OLIES
Six L legislative Committee
Rooms to Be Rented in Bust
ness District Of City

Arrangements for committee rooms
which will be used by house commit
tees were announced at brief session
Of the lower legislative branch Thurs
day. A committee recommended that
six rooms be obtained in three differ
ent buildings in the Bismarck business
district and the recommendations
were accepted.
Assignment of the rooms to the va
rious committees will come later.
| A letter from the county agent of
Barnes county was read to the house
today and presages an attempt to pass
q dog licensing law at this session.
Agricultural interests are expected
! to make strong demand for protec-
ton of sheep from ravages by dogs.
Thousands OF sheep have besn
brought into the state In the last two
years and many house members are
known to favor protection for the
sheep owner.
A bill to levy a heavy tax on dogs
and use the money so obtained to pay
indemnities to sheep owners for ami
mails killed by dogs got into mixup
at the last session and failed to pass.
That another effort to pass some
legislation on this nature will be made
at this session is regarded as certain.
Those districts where sheep always
have played prominent part in the
agricultural plan have always been
favorable to such legislation. With
the number of such district increas-
ing rapidly the sheep are expected to
muster more votes than the dogs.
Some consideration was had in the
house Thursday of the important sub
jects of taking official pictures Of the
house members. These are used to
identity the members to succeeding
generations, the pictures bein g
grouped and hung on the walls of the
house chamber.
It was agreed that the old members
may retain such of their pristine
beauty as they had when they first
came to the legislature and incidental
" save themselves q dollar. The plan
Is to permit them to have the photog-
rapher use pictures Of themselves
taken at some previous session in
making up the pictorial roster. All
who have new pictures taken must
pay q dollar. Final decision on the
matter was held over until today
when the official Photographer will
be selected.
