The first impulse, in a moment of horror, is to condemn the boy—for his act is unpardonable where The second impulse is to reflect that the boy would not have been in position to commit the crime had the law not said to him, in effect “You may escape the consequences of your last crime dy commitung an other!” He had to steal a ride mel, of both The boy, Knowing he must viohie ata decided on rodding his sleep: ing benefactor, perhaps not inteading his blow to prove fatal.

North Dakota has one fairly satis- factory hospital for the insane. at} Jamestown. The voters at the last; general election okayed an amend-_ ment providing for a second hospital. Yesterday Rugby and Larimore both} put in a bid for this hospital, Rugby | nosing under the wire just one second | ahead of its competitor. | Senator Gronvold’s bill, No. 90, pro- vides for the establishment of the} hospital at Rugby and the appropria-| tion of $25,000 for the purchase of a site and the construction of neces- sary duildings. Senator Hemming. son's bill, Ne..91, holds that Larimore the spot for this institution, but it has nothing to say of an appropri- ation. Pembina has an unused court house | on its hands. It is anxious to fill this building with orphans. and it has been pose in view. Yesterday’ Senator! decrees that'the structure shall be so} employed for a period of ten years for the maintenance of the orphanage. ee BIN AND SCHEFFER 20 PER CENT INCREASE IN ASSESSED VALUATION OF STATE NECESSARY Expenses Will Run $1,700,000 Per Annum for Ensuing Bieu- nium, Board Estimates To raise the amount which the bud- get board considers necessary to fin- ance North’ Dakota’s public affairs for the ensuing two years, a 20 per cent increase in the present assessed valuation of the state will be neces- sary. In 1914, the assessed valuation of North Dakota was $308,000,000. The 20 per cent flat increase made by the legislature in 1915 brought the total up to $385,000,000, and the 10 per cent reduction decreed by the state board of equalization on farm lands, railway and city and town lots in 1916 reduced the valuation to $354,000,000. Now this assessed valuation, to net the $1,700,000 per annum which the | budget board believes necessary to carry the state through the next two years must be boosted to $425,000,- 000, The natural increase in property values will help some, and the legis- lature is expected to ‘do the rest. The rate for general expenses will during the next two years be one- eighth mill more than for the past three, a total of 4 mills, instead of 7-8, as the terminal elevator tax has been repealed. There is no cer- tainty, however. that the present leg- islature, in order to carry out the people's will as expressed in approv- ing the terminal elevator amendment at the general election last November, will not be compelled to levy an even heavier tax during the next few years. ey NORTH DAKOTA SODIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS 10 MEET HERE THIS MONTH Among the many important conven- tions which are being held in Bis- marck this month and next, through the activities of the Bismarck Com- mercial club, is the annual meeting of the North Dakota Society of Civil En- gineers. which is scheduled for Jan- uary 30 and 31. A number of speakers of note from {outside points are expected. here to address the sessions, which: will be held in the commission room at the Municipal building. The annua) ban- quet is set for the McKenzie hotel on the evening of the-Sist. Because of the fact that a major- ity of the society’s members are road- builders. it is expected that,the high- way committees of the house-end the senate will profit from their presence here to get some first-hand informa- tion on the needs of various.sections of the state as regards thorgughfare: eee VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOK NORTH DAKOTA YOUNGSTER Better or more vocational training for North Dakota youngsters in agri- culture and the trades and industries will be impossible by the passage of senate bill No. 99, introduced yester- day by Gibbens, and which would ap- NEW MEMBERS OF BANK EXAMINER'S FAMILY John Bina of Lankin, to be deputy | state bank examiner. vice Senator J.
