Brinton’s newspaper trust measure, was signed in spite of opposition istration by Governoy Frazier who on Saturday sounded the death knell for 250 weekty newspapers any semblance of an independent country press in, North Dakota. . The only tHing that now stands between Job W. Brinton and a $300,000 yearly public printing graft is the referendum. Bill 157 does not carry the emergency, altho Townley personally endeavored to club enough members of the house intd line to give In spite of three desperate attempts the bill immediate effect. to carry the emergency, the smal honest enough and:courageous enough to hold with’the minority against this graft stood fast. Therefore 7,000. signatures will be sufficient to’ refer Senate Bill 157 to u vote of the people. This meagure, under the guise of saving the tax. payers money by reducing the num- ber of county newspapers from three to one, as a nfatter of fart more than doubles the amount which the state will pay fof public printing; Greates | a mammoth slush.fund for the bene- fit of Job Brinton and_his_'string of newspapers, and essays to throttle the independent press wf the state. Gov- ernor Frazier was fully cognizant ot the facts when he signed this Dill Sa‘- urday evening with the man who will profit most from it probably standing at his elbow. Attorney General Langer, Secretary | of State Hall, State, Auditor Kositzky, State Treasurer Olson and Commis- sioner of Insurance Olsness have had sufficient independence to come out openly against this vicious grab, and Commissioner of Agriculture and La- vor Hagan has privately expresséd his disapproval. Taking his advice from members. outside of his administra- tion, Frazier ignores all of those whom the people of the state elected as his) lieutenants. and ‘counsellors, and su- pinely submits to malign lictation.
