ROBERTS, Meteorologist. IT 1S A SAD STORY. It must strike intelligent Americans that the Mexican situation has fully reached the ridiculous point. A year ago, we mobilized all our available forces—some 100,000 militia and 25,000 regulars—on the ‘border and sent in a strong “column” to get the fmurdérer-of Americans and invad- er of America, Villa, dead or alive.) and today this is the situation: Villa is looting towns miles of our forces and our “column” dare not go after him because Car ranza says that it shall move only homeward, and we have some dozel of soldier graves to prove that he means what he says. Villa is acquiring large additions to his forces daily because of the pres-! ence, of American troops in exico. Our government cannot help Carran- za, recognized as the de facto govern- |; ment, clean up Villa, because Carran- za will not permit it and Carranza shows no ability to do the job him- self. | The American forces at and beyond the border are simply hog-tied by di- plomacy. ‘A policy which indefinitely keeps an army under arms and pow- erless to act, save to march toward home defeated of its purpose, may be “watchful waiting,” but it surely is close to senility. We moved into Mex- ico to take Villa, There's Villa with: in half a day's ride of us and we can’t point a gun at him because we're afraid of Carranza, who is im- potent to crush Villa. It is not at all) \j remarkable that Meixcans laugh at us and join Villa as fast as he can feed them. ‘The only benefit from the expedi- tion into Mexico goes to Villa, who in- vaded our soil and murdered our citi- zens. If Carranza can’t put down Villa with 15,000 American regulars only permitted to jump on Villa if he invades their quarters or gets in their route toward home, what hope is there of Carranza’s ability to do it. without the presence of those United States troops,.with their limit of ac- tion? Villa: knows. Carranza better than all Washington combined. He knew what he was doing in raiding Colgmbus, when he made Uncle Sam his ‘chief recruiting officer. He can raid some more, with similar eftects. Settlement of the Mexican matter is farther away than ever, if the waiting policy is to be continued. We are not making friends of Mex- icans by keeping a powerless arn'y on their soil, but’ we are making armies for Villa) We should either “get” Villa, even if we have to “get” Car- ranza with him, or else pull out of (Mexico and substantially recognize | the'de facto government by furnish-! ing,it all the means and facilities for doing that job. Our present position is both ridiculous and pathetic. And it is fast becoming nationally dishon- orable, ‘Woodrow might also send peace notes to Villa, Carranza and the Unit ed States senate. AS TO MEAT. Swift & Co., Chicago packers, have got, out their annual report for 1916, and it is a corker. The net profits were $20,465,000, indicating that the high cost of meat is due to the scarc- “ity of cattle, we don’t think. However, these enormous profits , were made from a profit of one-half cent on each pound of output, indicat- ing the highest efficiency in handling a tremendous business. Richard Croker has arrived in this colintry with his Indian princess bride put without his well known whiskers. = Every little bit helps, says Fill Jones, life prisoner in Iowa peniten- tiary, whose sentence has been com- muted to 50 years. ‘The Peace talk has not even lower- ed the cost of iy ms .

No legislative act of this comm would become law until held cons tutional by the supr court. member of the commission could hold any other office or pursue any other gainful occupation. Senator Martin two years ago in- troduce a bill providing for a legisla- tive commission of 25 members. That bill did not’ pass. “T have no hope that this bill will get through,” said Mr. Martin this | afternoon, “but we'are to commission forms of state govern- ment. A system which will permit a body of 25 men to undo the work of 120 men is wrong, and that is what our present legislative organization tolerates. No, this is not a league bill. It represents my own ideas.” Other Radical Changes, Other radical changes are provided for by Senator McLean in several bills providing for four-year’ terms for representatives and eight-year terms for senators; for quadriennial ions, and for a perdiem of ten dol- lars and for an upper house whose membership is to be not less than 25 nor more, than 40 members and a lower house of not less than 40 nor more thar STANDPAT SENATORS ARE HEARING FROM HOMEFOLK AND ANSWERING “EN T00 Flood, ofy Letters Being Written by ‘League Members Through- _ out the State “tam writing you to let you know; that I am very much interested in see- ing the league program enacted into! laws, to give us rur edit banks, ; state haii insurance, state-owned ter- minal elevators, packing plants, flour mills, ete. “This pro a large majority of the vote di: ‘t and in the state.

The veteran member from the Migh- teenth believes that a pense and much more sa sults generally are to be ga ined trom j such a plan. The general idea of the bill is to provide for the election at county pri- maries of delegates to the state con- vention, who in turn shall name the candidates of their party. If they suc- ceed in harmoniously agreeing upon a full slate of one cand e for each office that shall become the ticket of their party and there will he no fur- ther primary.» ]f they fail to agree upon one set o candidates, two may be placed in the field, and a primary then will decide. The idea of the bill is to do away with a multiplicity dates which is said to s sult in men unfit for of receiving the nomination, to the discredit of their party. Se GOVERNOR/HAS CHANCE FOR 25 HIGHFLYERS TO VISIT BIG EXPOSITION Governor Frazier has, an opportunitq for 25 highflyers to visit the First Pan-American exposition. to be held tin the Grand Central Palace in New; York city, February 8 to 15.

Three of these gentlemen—the gover- general and superintend- ent of public instruction—it developed this week, are flumni of the Univer- sity of North, Dakota. The term of the present land com- missioner, Major Frank 8. Henry, does not expire until September 1, 1917. Trustees for Great Fund, The board of university and school lands is trustee for North Dakota’s great permanent fund, which totaled July 1, 1916, $24,543,705.81. There re- mained unsold of the state's public land grant at that time 1,642,000 acres, or more than half of the original al- lotment. One of the best features of the pro- visions surrounding the state’s trust funds is that none of the revenue shall be loaned outside of the state. Every penny the state has to invest goes in- to farm loans, county, school and mu- nicipal honds within the state. There is now invested in farm loans $4,291,- 710, of which $1,957,150 has been loan- ed during the last two years. In school. county and municipal bonds, the state has invested $7,986,292.

Aaker as legis- lative reference librarian, has accept- ed the post of municipal reference li- brariar for the city of St. Louis, Mo., a fine berth which has come to him as a result of the efficiency which he has displayed in his work,fere. Mr. Davis has procured permission from St. Louis to serve in his present capacity until the close of the legislative as- mbly, during which time he will be assisted by Mr. Aaker. SHORT BALLOT BILL TO BE INTRODUCED BY M’LEAN OF CAVALIER One of the bills which is to receive early consideration from the senate is} a short ballot measure, reducing the number of clective officers to the governor and treasurer, and making all other state officers appointive. This measure is favored by Senator McLean of Cavalier, who is now at work on a draft of his bill. The pur- pose 1s {9 decreaze the size of the bal- lot, and thus to eliminate much of the confusion incident to the present com- pileated ballot, which in the last gen- eral ien covered.a sheet of paper four f long and three wide, and at the same time to place the responsi- bility for his administration upon the shoulders of the governor, who is given power to appomt his aides.

INTRODUCE BILL FOR | STATE TRADE-MARK G. W. Haggart Selected As Man to Pilot Measure Advocated by Dr. E. F. Conspicuous hong who moved about the the notables lobby of the Dakota Agricultural college and one of the foremost chemists of the Unit- ed States. The.chief purpose of the visit of the educator to Bismarck was in connec- tion with the meeting of the mem- |bers of the state board of education, which yesterday confirmed the ap- pointment of \N. C. ‘Macdonald, state | superintendent of schools. | Secondarily, Dr. Ladd wanted to do ‘a little lobbying in the interests of the farmer, the merchant and the business man of the state. For months he has been advocating a state trade- mark which will guarantee purity and kota goods and products. With the view of getting a law en- {acted at this’ session of the legisla- |ture providing for a state trade-mark the president of the Agricultural col- lege conferred with Senator G. W. |Haggart of Fargo, who in all prob-| the senate. | The trademark, according to Dr. ing: would also bear a map of the state. The license number assigned to each | manufacturer would be registered by the secretary of state. After spending the night the guest of friends and lobbying for the pas- sage of such a bill, Dr. Ladd returned | to Fargo this morning. WADE APPOINTIVE FROM FOOD INSPECTION STAFF Salary Under Provisions of Peter- son Bill, Will Be as Board of Regents Recommends Under the provisions of the Peter- ‘son bill, introduced in the house yes- terday afternoon, asking for the abol- ishing of the office of state inspector of hotels and transferring the duties to the pure food commissioner of the North Dakota Agricultural college, the field hotel inspectors -would be made appointive from the food inspection staff by the food commissioner with the approval of the state board of re- gents, and would receive their salary as the board of regents recommends. The elimination of the state office of hotel inspector and its duties trans- ferred to the pure food commissioner ‘was recommended in the inaugural address of Governor Lynn J. Frazier, last week. BELIEVES IN STATE J. T. Nelson of Glen Ullin, one of western North Dakota’s pioneer busi- ness men, isn’t afraid to"preach his state. He has done so at national conventions of retail merchants in Chicago and Denver, where he has represented the North Dakota Retail Metchants’ association,’ which he served four years as president, and he did some effective advertising about the capital this week. Mr. Nelson re- gards North Dakota the garden spot of the universe, and, of course, the one spot in the garden is Glen Ullin. When he started raising apples at Glen Ullin many years ago, friends accused him of buying Washington fruit and wiring it to his trees. Now everyone knows that Glen Ullin is in the fruit belt. A neighbor of Mr. Nelson's this year sold $400. worth of prime Grimm's alfalfa seed from a 3 1-2 acre patch, after keeping enough seed for his own sup- ply. The Glen Ullinite embarked in a general merchandise business on his present site a quarter century ago. Now he has a fine two-story fire-proof building covering a ground space of 120 by 60 feet, and he is very well sat- isfied with his North Dakota exper- jence.
