Now let us be reasonable when it
comes to this question OF legislation.
1T IS contended that no legislation

That is not the purpose Of law. Its
evildoers. If it does not do this its
objective is lost and We might Is well
not have any law. But 1t Is contend
ed that any law that infringes on per-
sonal liberty Is wrong and cannot be
enforced. Now there is not q law re-
lated to our fellowman in existence

where I'll make my home when I
settle down." And he did, until 1918
when he left for Montana to take up
a homestead In the Jordan district.
But when he came to file on a
claim he had to take out citizenship
papers, the first paper before he filed
and the second before he proved up.
He thought all these years that he
was citizen. His mother took q
homestead, SO she must have taken
out citizenship papers and she also
would have become q citizen through
marriage to her second husband.
II Noodle came to take q homestead
he probably would have to take out
citizenship papers also, but 1t seems
anybody can vote or run for governor.
With regard to taxes, I think q
sales tax is just the proper thing.
Then all will pay an equal proportion.

Drives Will Control

Drives conducted on q township

method Of controlling the menace to
feed crops from jsckrabbits, Martin
G. Altenburg. acting county agent,
said Thursday in response to many
complaints that lacks" are taking
what little cattle feed remains.
Poisoning Is effective in irrigated
areas but Is not recommended for
the plains country where there Is dam
ger that the bait may be picked up by
livestock, Altenburg said.
Jackrabbits bid fair to become a
major menace to Burleigh county
farm crops this year unless steps are
taken to eradicate them. They ap-
pear In cycles Of abundance. Every
few years they are beset BY disease
until only . few are left. Their
abundance ct this time Is probably
due to this cycle.

elected to the office Of governor. His
disqualification to hold that office
existed at the time he assumed the
office Of governor and all duties
which he performed between the date
Of his induction into office until our
supreme court found that he was in
fact ineligible for that office were
held to be valid and legal. +.
On the authority of this Noodle
decision, I am Of the opinion that
the call of Governor LANCER for
this special session made while he
was performing the duties Of the Of
flee Of chief executive and ~ q de
facto officer was legal to the same
effect as If such call had been issued
by the de jure governor.
1.-THE next question that was SUBJ
mitted is whether or not that call for
a special session could be revoked be-
fore the legislature convened pursuant
to that call. I have been unable to
find any decisions bearing directly on
this point, except one, but 1t
Is general principle well established,
I believe. that when a power Is given
to an officer to do q certain thing
such as the power Of appointment Of
a subordinate and has once been ex-
ercised. the repository Of such power
has no further control, unless the
statute or constitution granting that
power specifically provides otherwise.
No Authority TO Revoke
Nowhere can be found any au-
thority giving the power to the COVER
nor to revoke a proclamation Of that
kind. The constitution in this In
stance is grant Of power to the
governor to do that act and perform
that duty Of calling a special session
of the legislature when In his opinion
the affairs Of state require, but there
is no constitutional provision grant,
ing him the power to revoke It after
once 1t Is issued. and consequently /
am Of the opinion that the attempted
revocation Of the governors procla-
nation in this case by his successor
was illegal and imperative. -.
while there may be some doubt,
yet am Of the opinion that the call
for the special session in 1894 by Gov
ernor LANCER was legal and that its
attempted revocation by Lieutenant
Governor Olson was unwarranted in
law, and I am authorized by Attorney
General Satire to state that he con-
ours In this opinion"

THOSE LICENSE BONDS
Hebron, N. D.,
March 2, 1885.
Editor, Tribune:

EOlCOr, tribune:
The action OF the Senate in indefi-
nitely postponing House Bill 297 Is q
good example Of what we can expect
Of our North Dakota legislature. This
bill repealed the requirement Of q $500
bond for cigarette dealers. Here Is
the picture: II 1000 cigarette dealers
over the state take out q bond from q
bonding company at q premium Of IS
yearly, the bonding company gets
$4,000 yearly. The cigarette law
provides for cancellation Of licenses
for violation, and also that all un-
stamped merchandise can be confis-
Gated. Then why the necessity Of q
surety bond? Evidently the senators
want to fatten the purses Of the
bonding companies at the expense of
the cigarette dealers. Senator Matthaei
stated, over KFYR, few days ago.
that It looked like the people would
have to use the initiative to get con-
structive legislation. We heartily agree
with him.
Yours truly,
A Cigarette Dealer.

RICHBERG REVEALS
. new DEAL PROGRAM
FOR FUTURE OF NRA
administration Would Limit
Codes to Interstate Com.
nerce Trade

Washington, March 7.-(ReA new
deal chart for revamping NRA to
limit codes to trades and industries
actually engaged in interstate COM
merce" was given congress Thursday
by Donald r. Richberg, but it did not
satisfy blue eagle critics.
For two hours, the director Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's national emergency
council outlined his views on the fu-
ture Of NRA to the senate finance
committee. He was surrounded by
advisors and aides including s. Clay
Williams, retiring chairman Of the re-
covery board.
In the end, the committee, still
somewhat In the air as to which codes
the administration proposed to drop,
asked Richberg to submit a specific
list. He returns to the stand Friday.
Richberg said he was recommend
ing extension Of MIRA for two years,
substantially In its present FORM"
but he proposed Tightening up trust
Jaws, strengthening enforcement pow
'ers, limiting codes to business engaged
in interstate commerce, empowering
the president to impose limited codes
regulating hours and wages. and CIV
ing legal backing for the blue eagle
insignia.
Defends Administration
Defending the administration Of
MIRA, Richberg commended that the
noise of the complaints was nothing
to compare with the amount Of sat
5sfaction, which is, Of course, silent"
7 Most Of the complaints, he said,
come from five codes, which were
named as the restaurant, retail food
end grocery, trucking. hacking and
retail motor sales agreements.
Asked by Senator King (D-Utah) II
the codes had not fostered devices
tending to suppress competition. Rich
berg said the demand for cost pro-
lection devices had come chiefly from
the small enterprises and had operat-
ed to their benefit.
He ran into difficulties when mem.
milton Of interstate commerce. He
said his plan would probably eliminate
many codes covering local or service
industries, but later said the service
trades were the only ones he could
name that definitely were not inter-
state commerce.
Critics Not Satisfied
Critics Of MIRA on the committee
Immediately told reporters they were
not satisfied with the recommended

STAND FOR LIBERTY
Wing, North Dakota,
February Is, 1885.

XVN u3Iy 1Vs A0OVs
Editor, Tribune:
AS an interested taxpayer Of North
Dakota. I have watched with amuse-
n,ent the antics Of political pot-boilers
the last two sessions Of the legislature.
Some Of their capers have been more
than funny. They have been downright
absurd. I could smile when this state
was made the laughing stock of the
nation by talk Of secession, but when
they commence to monkey with my
personal freedom by considering a
bill to tax bachelors and spinsters,
who for reasons Of their own have
remained single, I feel 1t Is time for
people who have some slight regard
for their personal freedom to at least
protest.
This country was founded on the
supposition that every man has right
to the pursuit Of life, liberty and hap
piness, and I don't think it was the
intention Of the founders for people
to pay extraordinarily for those rights
Now I have no quarrel with matri-
mony, but II I have no wish to marry
I claim 1t my inalienable right to re-
main single without paying for that
privilege, and I will fatty refuse to
pay tax on my liberty. On my dog,
my livestock, my car, my gasoline. my
clothing, my food, my drink, my shows,
my light, my fuel, my house, my land;
yes, will, and have paid my taxes,
but on my liberty, never!
I am Of Irish and English descent,
and have always been proud Of my
ancestry. I take 1t from Mr.. O'Brien's
name. that the author Of this bill, also
is Irish, and I have lost some of the
pride that once was mine. Hence
forth, I shall be ashamed that I am
part Irish, and shall call myself only
English. I have always looked on the
sons Of Old Erin as fine, noble, up
standing citizens, who would and have
always fought for their freedom, with
voice. fist and shillalah, and therefore,
would think that they, who have
fought for freedom for SO long in the
British Isles, would be the last to take
from q man his last remnant Of in
dependence: would make Of him a
slave to the holy yoke Of matrimony.

After attending the meeting Fri

when the bill for legalizing the sale
OF hard liquor was freely discussed,
I have been thinking over the situa-

ton on this question as q whole bet
ter than anyone else. Perhaps they
DO. am not going to question their
sincerity and right to this knowledge.
AS understood 1t, the situation pre-
sented Is something like this: I'VE
are all agreed that the abuse of the
use OF liquor is wrong, degrading, det-
rimental, a menace to individuals and
society and that it should be abolish
ed. but the people want 1t, demand
It; they will and must have It, and II
they cannot get it in one way they
are going to get it some other way.
