nave done their utmost to aid the local
unemployment situation by pushing its
building program during the acute
period of the depression of the last
year and a half.

college campus and other improvements,
he pointed out, have given steady en-
ployment during most of this period

been kept busily employed on the con-
struction of tennis courts. roadways and
other improvements on the campus.

Prospects that the bill creatine
east and west congressional districts
would pass the state senate were
brighter Thursday.
Despite the announcements Of
some senator's that the bill, passed
Wednesday by the house will meet
defeat in the senate. it appeared
probable Thursday that this prophecy
would prove inaccurate.
Reports from the western part OF
the state indicate that the people OF
that area are aroused to the danger
OF losing congressional representation
and that they expect their senators
to vote their sectional preferences.
now that the proposal to redistrict
the state has been passed by the
house.
Curiously enough, leaders Of both
political factions in the western part
ct the state appear to be united in
their ideas as to the need for action.
A concerted effort to induce their
senators to support the east-west
Plan. regardless of factional lines.
appeared Thursday to be in the maxi
ing as the result Of the house action.
Propaganda that the chance Of
creating an east district and a west
district was small had caused mem.
bers Of both parties In western North
Dakota to look on the fight as q
hopeless proposition, although a mum.
Der OF newspapers In that area have
declared themselves in favor Of such
division.
House Action Changes Outlook
When the SWEET Crockett bill went
through the house, however, it wa
convincing evidence that there stiu
was a chance. As q result, the move.
