The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1931-02-10
Editor, The Tribune:

l have just read over House Bill
No. 30, which provides for an increase
OF the school land fees and it ap-
pears to me that it is another one of
those schemes to hook the farmers.
Everybody knows, or at least should
know. that we farmers are having
tough Shedding as it is and instead of
increasing this fee it should by all
means be decreased. In my opinion,
1T does not cost any more to write a
five-year lease than a one-year lease
SO why increase the fee from $500 to
$500?
I notice that this fee shall be cred
tied to the expense fund of the board
OF university and school lands and
there is asQuestion in my mind what
expense fund has this board to which
this fee shall be credited?
There is a Cry all over the country
and an appeal to those who are in
authority, to reduce the taxes and I
do hope some one will take enough
interest and do SO. While this fee of
an additional $500 may not seem
large. nevertheless it is a lot of
money when a fellow has none and
I judge if this bill will become a law
it will make us farmers dig up $4,000
a year more. But If there is someone
in the legislature who sympathizes
with us farmers, I hope they will de-
eas the fee instead of raising it
and try and save us farmers as much
as possible, because we are in dire
distress.

priated, really does not make any
difference.
AS concerns the abundance OF
game in the state, it is common
knowledge that game is not nearly
as abundant at the present time as
it was Is or 20 years ago, and it is
just as common knowledge that the
chief reason for this condition is the
increased number of hunters and the
increased effectiveness of the hunt
ers, through the medium of high
powered automobiles, high-powered
guns, and high-powered ammunition.
This great increase in the number
and effectiveness Of the hunters,
coupled with the advance Of civili-
cation upon the propagating grounds
Of the game and the resultant re-
strictions Of the propagating areas,
has, of course, tended to greatly re-
duce the number Of birds, animals
and fish to be found in the state.
Restriction upon the taking Of game
has become necessary and further re-
strictions will be necessary if we
are to have any game in the future.
Consequently, the enforcement Of
the game and fish laws through the
medium Of wardens and other en-
forcement officers is an absolute nee
essity and will continue to be a nee
essity as long as we have any game
to protect.
The statement made in the letter
written by the gentleman from
S{onla RI thu offno{ %hnt NV o,rooco1
amount of money is being spent for
the employment Of wardens is not
true, as the writer has absolute
knowledge that the expenditures for
enforcement work have not been in
creased, but rather reduced, and
more Of the money is being spent
for the propagation Of game. The
action of the game and fish depart
ment, in planting throughout the
state some $500 Hungarian par
tridges and $4,000 pheasants, at a
cost Of approximately $4,000, in
wolves by far the largest expendi-
ture for the purchase and distribu-
ton Of game that has ever been
made in this state.
Summing these things up then, it
would seem that the gentleman from
Steele is either misinformed or is,
as before stated, not at all convers-
ant with his subject. This is a con-
dition which is very common with
observations made in regard to the
department of game and fish and
things relating to that department.
However, these observations are, in
most cases, in error, not because Of
any malice or ill will towards the
department but usually because Of
lack of knowledge of the subject be-
ing discussed. For that reason the
writer has taken it upon himself to
forward this communication in order
that the gentleman from Steele and
all others interested may get the
real facts in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
NJ. O. STEEN.

it is always a poor remedy to dc
evil, expecting that good may come
Of it and you, Mr.. Lyncher, who
took part in it, are no better than
Bannon and your hands are as
bloody as those Of Cain!
A southern organization OF women
has the following to say about lynch
ing:
"We r profoundly convinced that
lynching is not q prevention or cure
for murder, but rather a menac to
private and public safety and a
deadly blow at our most sacred in
stitutions. Instead of ~deterring the
irresponsible and the criminal
classes, as it is argued, lynching
tends inevitably to destroy all re-
spect for law and order. 1t repre-
sents the complete breakdown of
government and the triumph Of
anarchy. It brutalizes the COM
munity where it occurs, including the
women and children who witness its
orgies and, particularly, the youth
who is usually a conspicuous par
ticipant.
1--WE would call attention that
lynching is not alone the crime of
ignorant and irresponsible mobs, but
that every citizen who condones it,
by his silence, must accept a
share of his guilt.
eve, therefore, call upon our
or officials to use every power
at their disposal to protect from mob
anarchy the laws they are sworn to
defend; upon our religious leaders
to cry aloud against this crime until
ceases to exist; upon parents and
teachers to train up a generation
of such relapses into bar
barism; and upon all right thinking
men and women to do their utmost
in every way for the complete. eradi-
of this pernicious and heinous

Editor of The Tribune:

I wonder what the legislators of
North Dakota think of moving the
capitol? I wonder if they realize the
burden a special election would place
on the people of North Dakota?
The money spent on a State Capitol
special election could very we'll be used
to buy brick for a new capitol.
To obtain the capitol of North Da-
kota at Bismarck many people. pio-
neerS of North Dakota, donated thou
sands of dollars and a great deal OF
land.
OF course, there was a sacrifice, but
il was accomplished for the sake Of
North Dakota. Jamestown is making
a gallant bid for the capitol. But is
IT. the intelligent thing to do?
There are very few cities in North
Dakota that have the tremendous wa
ter supply that Bismarck has. I Won
der if Jamestown has the hotel &C
commodations necessary for a large
group Of lawmakers?
AS I see it, the legislature may COM
NIT the biggest folly since the days
of Nero. The result of the work of
the capitol commission will either be
commended or condemned. Surely
with the large expense that will be
current with the structure of a new
building. the low price of wheat, and
general depression of farm produce
prices, the legislators would be max
ing a wise move to start prompt &C
ton against jamestown in a negative
way.
I believe that Bismarck should re-
main the capitol. It is known through
out the world. 1t is going to be the
industrial center of North Dakota as
o as the coal mines al be ex-
plotted. 1t has the water supply (and
good water that is fit to drink, and
it is the center of the state.

Editor of The Tribune:

To date I have had so many in
quiries about the valuable pictures
that hung in the house and senate of
the burned capitol building, I thought
I would take this means of explaining
about the same.
I am sorry to say that we couldn't
save the house and senate group pic
lures. Thanks to the good foresight
of Representative Mrs. Minnie Craig,
who passed q resolution two years
ago, we took the old house group pic
lures to a safe place in the Memorial
building in case of fire. I immedi-
ately took the following pictures to
the Memorial building:
House 1885; house 1887; house 1889;
house 1891: house and senate Zone
picture combined) 1893; house 1895;
house 1897.
When the Memorial building was
completed I had duplicates from the
senate of 1885; senate 1887; constltu-
tional convention 1889 and senate
1895, which I took owe myself at that
time. So we have these pictures all
saved and are now in the Historical
Society rooms in the Memorial build
ing.
I might add that I tried my very
best to save these pictures but it was
impossible as the smoke was too
dense to get to them.
I am awfully sorry to say also that
the hand painted picture OF Jud La
Moure from Pembina county, and also
the hand painted picture of G.. B.
Little, from Burleigh county, which
we're donated to the state and OF con-
siderable value were also lost; also
the picture of Ed Pierce from Ran
som county (Which was not hand
painted) was lost. I also tried my
best to save the bust Of President
Lincoln which I feel very sorry 1
coulG no., 80.
I am writing this because of the
many inquiries regarding these pic
sures. I hope rome day the latter
ones might be replaced and hung in
the new capitol building.
