1.-THE people Of the state are entitled
to my best judgment as to = state
ment Of the costs Of maintaining the

sccrediting boards over the country.
The figures represent such judy
ment."
West said he had In mind "the IL
nancial condition Of the United States
and Of North Dakota for the past
several years. am also aware Of the
terrible crop failure in large part Of

state to support its institutions Will
be before them"
Asks Salary Raises

this time, that the mere act Of votina

izenship in North Dakota.
This affiant specifically states that

manent residence In Minneapolis: that

Immediately resumed his definite and
continued plan to return to the coun-
try newspaper business and that he
did so return to North Dakota ct VIII
liston where he has since resided;
that he never intended to make Min
neapolis his permanent home or resi-
dence, that neither he nor Mrs. Mood
ie prefer city life but love the open
country and the intimate association
OF old friends In . small community:
that affiant was taxed for personal
property taxes at Mohall In 1928 in the
amount Of $3.50 and real estate tax
Is amounting to $78.o2: that he was
assessed at Mohall for personal prop
erty taxes In 1929 In the amount Of
$8S.63 and that he was assessed tor
real estate taxes at Mohall in the
years 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1888, such
information being based upon . mes
sage received from the county treas
urer OF Renville County, North Da-
kota; that the undersigned has been
q resident Of North Dakota for more

had been for several years member
Of the church Of her faith ct WAh-|
peton, North Dakota. When tho un-|
dersigned and Mrs. Noodle moved to-
Mohall, this membership WAS not
transferred because no similar church

ever, when the undersigned and MIs.
Noodle went to Minneapolis they
found large and permanent church
organization in such city. Mrs. Noodle
attended church services regularly IN

chased an interest IN the Williston

part that his mere presence n the

convenient 50 to vote Is such location
because Of his feeling that It WAS
duty OF citizenship to vote. He had
no understanding at that time. noe

TURN OUT FOR TRACK.

TO acquire perfection and skill IN
any kind Of. activity requires con-
slant practice How very true this is
Of the human body-a complicated set
of muscles which become stiff and
unwieldy unless constantly exercised.
It is ridiculous to expect to appear
at ones best at track meet, with
only two or three days of hectic prac-
tice before the meet. The only results
are a set Of sore muscles which fail
to cooperate on the day of the track
meet.
The end of one meet should be the
beginning of a round of steady prac-
tice, preparing for the next one. If
you will remember also that regularity
of practice is one of the greatest con-
siderations in the awarding of letters,
the Importance of regular turnouts is
still more apparent.
Turn out for track and take the
kinks out of your muscles!
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1934-04-12

fact, it seems to me that it is Just the
method the irrigation district board is
using. They have hired the best avail
able men for each unit of the system,
the generating plant, the pumping
plant, the ditch and its tributaries.
Besides, the district has been most for
tunate in having the service (since the
ditch property was taken over by the
district) of Marvin Chase as consulting
engineer and advisor. He ranks with
the higher authorities in the North
west as far as hydraulic engineering
is concerned, and the district has
availed itself of the service offered by
the G. M. & st. P. railroads engineer
ing department, which services would
have cost good deal over the thou
sand dollar mark if those services
could have been hired, which is doubt
full.

STATE POLICE SYSTEM

Realizing the need for a more efficient method
OF crime CONTROL it has been argued for some time
that the state of Washington should adopt a state
police system. The recent tragic incident at Brem-
ertOn has brought this matter more fully into the
limeight
Opponents of the plan argue that it will cost
the taxpayers of the state goodly amount of
money, and will increase the tax rate as we'll as
build up political stronghold such as the high
way department is asserted to be-
Advocates of the system argue, on the other
hand, that it will centralize the various police
forces of the counties and cities, thus reducing
large forces necessary in these places and
will be more efficient in the tracking down and
prompt capture of criminals.
Certainly small, well-equipped force ranging
over the entire state and receiving orders from
a central point, would be more efficient and able
to accomplish more than many small, poorly
organized groups. One of the strongest arguments
IN it's favor is that such states as Michigan and
Maine, which have well-developed state police
forces, find it more capable than the old system
1t would be possible, perhaps, to combine the
functions OF the present state highway patrol with
the new organization, thus reducing the cost of
the system.
Ii such system is adopted in this state, coun-
ty and city police forces must be curtailed to some
extent, and duplication and overlapping of local
and state jurisdiction and expense eliminated
otherwise, the system will be only an additional
burden on the taxpayer.
