Readers’ Column COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE. Sanger, N. D., Feb, 23., '17. Editor The Tribune, sismarck, N. D. Dear Sir: As current comment relative to our compulsory school attendance law seems to be growing, a few remarks anent the subject appear to be in or- der, Such law is universally perceived ernor is forced to select five nurses out of ten as members of the examin-| ing board. The names are submitted by the North Dakota State Nurses asso- ciation, In other words this associa-| tion absolutely controls the board and} “the governor is helpless for even va- cancies' must be selected from a list| of three supplied by this association, | which we are informed at the time of | the passage of this act was not even| incorporated. ! The present law provides that a member of. this association practically uncontrolled by the state shall act as) inspector of nurses’ training schools. ! There is no rigid provision for re-| mitting all fees collected into the| state treasury except that at the end! of every year all money in the treas- | ury in excess of $250 shall be turned | over to the state. This is a slovenly | and unbusinesslike arrangement. All| fees should be turned into the state | treasury disbursed through the prop-| er state official so that suitable audit can be made. |anti-Nationalists who have even in-| This board exacts a fee for register- ing each nurse and some provision should be made for an accounting as in the case of other public money. The new bill proposed would rem- edy many defects. It does not limit the governor's selection to ten nurs-} es named by a private association. | dent, This bill provides that of the five members of the examining board two shall be physicians. Such an ar- rangement obtains in other states and the presence of the professional men would seem to strengthen rather than weaken the board. It is to be regretted that the merits of this bill were not better under- stood. The Tribune hopes the nurses who worked so valiantly for its pas- sage will fare better at the next ses- sion. Of course the present law seems clearly unconstitutional and in its present form endangers the principle of state registration of nurses which was only recognized by the state after years of struggle.

HONORABLES LEUTZ AND CAMP- B L, Dear Editor: ince the only dueling allowed in this country is With swords at twenty paces, I do not fear hereby to step in between Leutz and Campbell and y: “Hands up, and swords down!” and come here with your paws, both jof you, and join them in a clasp of true fell6w-citizenship. The fact is, jyou just plainly misunderstand each other. The Hon. Campbell evidently jthinks the Germans are about to land at Plymouth Rock with one of their submarines and torpedo said rock | with all it means, and that Leutz and all Americans stand ready to join invading hosts and make us all s of the dread kaiser, destroy ithe freedom of the s the whole world §| drink beer. Hon. Campbell, there- fore, fears the hyphenated German- | Americans more than the Comanches. But you surely are mistaken, Hon. | Campbell! On the other hand, the Hon,’ Leutz evidently holds that the only real foreign foe: we-ever had in our his- tory is Great Britain, and that there { never was, nor is now, any equal free- | dom of the seas, that a British-Ameri- {can is just as much a hyphenated American as any other'national parti- san, while. calling the names. Hon. Leutz thinks that Camp- | bell is quite ready to take up arms j With. the Allies, whereby Germany would be anickly crushed. But in all this you sorely are mistaken, Hon. Leutz! You are both’ plain, simple and hon- est Americans, that do not really care a continental which of the European powers wins this war. You know, of course, that both sides are fighting for the same thing, namely, general and economic control of the world. Nothing less or smalier could, among si peoples, be cause for a war like th. You know that all talk by eith- er side about altruistic or humant- tarian motives is all bosh for pop- ular consumption and for the fools in the galleries. ‘Being both safely past the military age, you are Iving wake- ful nights, waiting for the call. to arms, but neither of you would shoulder even one of the old muskets any other cause or nation than Amer-| ment for the s ica.

R. 9 0 | WITH THE EDITORS | pa y THE FARM LOAN BANK. (New York Times) Two current items of news gain sig-} nificance when read together. Rifty thousand farmers have applied for $150,000,000 of mortgage loans, but} only $120,000 has been subscribed for! 26,000 shares of the Federal Land| bank. That leaves the treasury to supply the rest of the bank’s capital of Plications for loans is not known, it | cannot be said what sort of loans will | be made from the national funds., In the farm loan craze of 1893 thelist of the bankrupt farm loan companies | was a depressing exhibit. The statu-| tory precautions against a repetition | of the experience would seem to be| sufficient, yet there were statutes also | in 1893. The incident is worth referring to; as an indication that farmers have not been denied the credit to which they jwere entitled. The east lost $40,000,- 000 through one farm loan institution a generation ago. Now it is the turn of the treasury to make two mortgag- les grow where one isenough. There is no basis for the belief that farm | borrowers in good credit are not ac- commodated on reasonable terms. There are four billions of farm mort- gages now. The best of them will re main where they are, for they are satisfactory to both borrowers and lenders, It is only second-class bor- rowers who will ask accommodations from the Washington bank. No doubt they will take all the $6,000,000 of pub- ‘treasury to make in ‘the institutions | whose stock it is obligated to take. It is purely a labor of love on the part of the treasury, the farmers’ true friend around election'time, for the treasury can take no profits from its benevolence. Mr. Merrick has cal- culated that, if the capital had been | subscribed privately in full, the share- holders’ would be blessed with a 16 j bercent dividend. Why does such a gold mine go begging? There never has been a stronger demand for farm | mortgages than now, just before the rural credit bill goes into operation, and there is no deficiency of funds. | Yet the treasury is left to make fur- ther grants in aid, and take all the risks and glory. It is a mystery how such things can be. PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF CITY* COMMISSIONERS, FEBRU- ARY 20, 1917. | The Board of City Commissioners { met in adjourned session.
