Under another, State Auditor Ko- sitzky’s appropriation for traveling expenses is good, but Dunseith has nO, emergency appropriation, and North Dakota has no bone dry law, after “July 1. You pays your money and takes your choice, Clerk Makes Appropriation. “Houge Bill 355 as introduced and passed by both houses made an emer- gency appropriat‘on of’$2,465 ‘for the state auditor's ‘office, to be’ used be- tween March 1, 1917, and July 1, 1917. Among’ the items was $500 for trav- eling expenses. When the engrossed Dill bobbed up after the close of the session it was found to have been al- tered by lead pencil to provide $1,000 instead of $)00 for traveling expens- es, and to permit the expenditure of the’ emergency’ appropriation ‘between March 1, 1917,’ and March’ 1, 1918. State Auditor’ Kositzky, scenting: an irregularity which might"lose him his entire appropriation, was muci exercised until the attorney general soothed his fears by handing down an opinion holding that it would be unlawful to go back of the engrossed bill, and: that regardless of the intent of the legislature, the engrossed bill must stand as its final voice in the matter. 1 Another Twist. Then everything went along se- renely for a few days until it was learned that through some sauffling of the cards, the emergency clause had not been attached to the bill making an appropriation of $15, V0 for the Dunseith sanitarium ‘to be available between the date of pas- ‘sage and July 1. It looked for a time as tho this defect might deprive the sanitarium of badly needed funds, but the opinion-factory on the third floor proved its versatility by immediately handing down a ruling that the legis- lative intent took precedence over the engrossed bill; that the journal of the house, in which the: error was made, show@d plainly that it had | been the intent of the legislators to give the bill immediate effect, and tat the appropriation should become } available at once, regardless of the Jack of a proper emergency clause. And now comes House Bill 39, Bow- man’s bone dry act which, as it ap- pearg in the engrossed bill, sigméd ‘by. the governor, absolutely prohib- its the importation of intoxicating liquors, except by registered pharma- cists. The senate journal record on this bill is very clear. It shows that tlie bill was amended there to permit the importation of so many quarts of whiskey, beer and wine ead: month for ‘personal use.” The amendment carried by a big majority in the sen- ate, and when the bill went back to the. house for final ‘action, the amend- ment was lost, not acted upon in any manner, and omitted trom the engrossed bill.

There is something wrong with our govern- mental system as is clearly proved by Germany’s_ political failures and in fact by the whole war. ‘i; Fresh blood must be infused in the-government.” The Fremdenblatt, adyocates. the, re- moval of the bureaucratic barriers in order to allow ‘the--pafliament:. and government to work in closer touch.
