O. L. Burtness of Grand Forks, one of the constitutional authorities of the present assembly. Interviewed last evening, Represent- ative Burtness expressed the opinion that under Article 15 of the constitu- tion a referendum could have been had on the North Dakota resolution ratifying the federal amendment with- in ninety days after the special ses sion of 1918, at which time that res- olution was adopted. The period in which referendum action could have been taken, however, expired months go. It is Mr. Burtness’ opinion that Ar- ticle 15 of the constitution applies in this case in the same manner in which it would govern any other legis- lative act. Under Article 15 a peti- tion could have been filed within 90 days from the adjournment of the special session of 1918, at which North Dakota ratified thé federal amend- ment, if signed by ten per cent of the legal voters. of the state from a majority of the counties. Under the league amendment to the constitution ratified by the senate this afternoon 7,000 electors at large could have referred this resolution to a vote of the people. As the matter now stands, however, the action of the spe- cial session of 1918 is final, and the digtillers cannot hope to obtain any relfet from North Dakota, says Mr. Burtness. CHINA RESENTS JAP DICTATION Attempts to Monopolize Com- merce Protested ‘Shanghai, China.—Feeling in China over Japinese dictation and attempt to Wonopolize matters of commerce is growing acute. From the letting of contracts for docks to the operation of coal’ mines, \the Japanese have shown a determin- ation to dictate and to let the people of no other:,country share these con- tracts. The latest instance is the open- ing of a coal mine in the Chaitang district, the rights for which were sold to Americans. i ‘ ‘The Shanghai Gazette says: “The utter disregard of the rights “of thé Chinese to doiwhat they please with their own and the steady assump- Kadoland ‘ofan overlordship in China are being met by an inereas- ing resistance on the part of China, and may end in some sudden flare-up which Japan might find.to have disas, trous effect on the large and lucrative sales of Japanese trash.” Packard and Wallace Appointments Have Gone to the Senate Governor Frazier today sent the ap- pointments of F. M, Packard and George Wallace as tax commissioners to the senate for confirmation. Pack- ard’s commission dates for six years from May, 1917, and Wallace's six years from May, 1919. There was considerable conjecture ‘because the governor failed to send the name of Mr. James Waters, hank examiner, Whether “Marse” Jim is going to walk the plank is not known, ‘but it is belleved this popular mem- ber of the league may have something scheduled higher up as a reward for his services. Then, again, Governor Frazier may send his name in later, RETURNED SOLDIERS TAKE NOTI r cent off any madeto-measure suit, overcoat or both and allow terms of payment.

While all of these amendments oc- cupy some importance in the league's scheme, making it easter to initiate legislation which the league may wish, or to amend the constitution in such a manner as the leagité may from time require, thd two atnendments most essential to the league’s economic pro- gram are the sixth and. seventh. Four bills embodying the principal planks: of the league economic pro- gram already have been. introduced, and it is anticipated that the first two, which‘ originated ‘in the house, will come up for third. reading arid final passage;today.
