NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS VERY BADLY MIXED *Tis Wise Man Who Knows His Own Brother in League- Circles These Days TRI-CORNERED CAMPAIGN Fight on Townley and Graft, Bills Within Nonpartisan Ranks —Election Certain To say that the political situation! in North Dakota is badly mixed is put-) ting it very mildly. Of the political mixtures to which the Flickertail state has been sub- jected in its tempestuous history, it; has‘had nothing to approach the pres- ent situation. 3 The man who knows at this moment “Just where he is a is regarded: for- | tunate. 1 Election Assured. \ To begin with, at least four of tne! Jaws enacted ‘by the 16th general as-| sembiy under Nonpartisan league domination are so generally unpopu- lar, with leaguers as well as with the) faction which always has opposed the! league, that a referendum élection is! assured. H The most discussed of laws is} known ag Senate Bill 157, which ia| charged with establishing a political monopoly of public printing, under | which $300,000 wortn-of patronage an-} nually may be distributed by the pub- i Mc printing commission among 53{ newspapers to be designated by they RHINE VALLEY PROBLEMS NOW ARE ON TATIS Paris, April 10. e special, com: mission on western Europe boundar- ies were called before the council of four today, This gave rise to the be- lief that ‘the council was considering problems of the Rhine vailey.

The location is prac- | tically decided upon, but no publicity! can be given the matter until a con- tract is signed. To Open in 30 Days. “The Bank of North Dakota will be ready for business within 3) days,") said Manager J. R. Waters this af- ternoon. public printing commision. This bill was drafted by J. W. Brinton, who; has organized probably / 25 league! newspapers in which he owns stock,’ and which would benefit from the act. ; It was voted for by senators and rep-{ resentatives who own stock in these! newspapers and -who will’ profit di- rectly from the passage of the hill. Second in point of general unpopu- larity is Senate Bil} 134.. The publi is. generally convinced that this act) was designed ‘primarily .to,curb the powers of Miss Mine J. Nielson, who defeated _ the league. candidate for superintendent of public imstruction last fall, and to restore to power the league choice, Neil C. Macdonald, ‘whom Miss Nielson’ retired to private} dite after ‘he. had served but one term. ‘fhe act abolishes the ‘board of con: trol, board of regents and board of education,, and concentrates ‘all. of their duties in one board to be com- posed of the: commissioner. of agri- culture and labor, ‘the-sttperintendent of public instruction, and. three mem- bers to be apMinted by the govern- or, While ‘a;member of this board, ; the state superintendent of public in- struction, an official elected ‘by. the » people, is placed under the supe vision of this so-talled board of a ministration, which is given the di- rection of the public schools as well ag the higher institutions of learn-} ing, with autuority to install new text books:an dprovide for their publication ‘by the state, and with power to pre- acribe courses of study for the public schools, colleges and universities. Then there is an immigration bill, H. B." 133, carrying an appropriation of $200.000, on its face designed to en- courage immigration, but admitted on the floor of the house by Rep. Alberts, a league leader, to be chiefly designed to permit the spread of propaganda to -counteract in other states attacks on “State Architect Kurke already has prepared a‘ floor plan; fixtures. willi ‘be ordered at once, and they should 'be installed and ready for use inside! tof 30 days. many as 100.” Will Be Real Bank.

Their conten- tion has been that under the present system the tax commission is a per- manent, largely non-political body, while, they assert, if there is but one! tax commisstoner, to be appointed by the governor and to,be removed by the latter at will, the position ne comes purely political, subject change with each incoming aanine: tration. The, increase .in district ‘judges is opposed on the ground that 12 judges can’ easily handle the judi- cial business: of the state, and that, as a matter of fact, 11 judges hahdled this work during the war, when Ma- jor J. M. Hanley, judge of the 122 district, was serving in France. It is charged that the addition of. three judges will increase expehditures in this department by more than $15,000 per annum, and that this added ex- pense is essential only that positions may be made for political friends of the administration, whom the govern- or may reward under-the appointing powers conferred in this. bill. eneral Opposition.

Town- ley is alleged to have pablished in newspapers he controlled during the session of 1917 alleging that Senator J. A. Englund of Ward county was not an American citizen and -har he had} no legal right to act as a member ot! the sepate and\that he bad unlaw- fully accepted his salary as deputy state oil inspector, constituted a jcause for action in a damage suit. In the Ward county district court, Judge Leighton, in overruling » de- murrer ‘by the defense, held that the «. | publication of these charges did con- |stitute a cause for action. Townley appealed from that decision to the supreme court. Judge E. B. Goss ap- peared here for the plaintiff and O. B. {Herigstad of Minot for the defense. “The case was argued here purely on the question of cause. The issues involved were debated here only as they affected the decision of Judge Leighton. Story of Case. Englund was a@ hold-over member of the senate of the 15th assemdly. He vigorously opposed the league and assisted in defeating House Bill 44 and other league measures.

Olson has expressed on- position to the printing \ and ed- ucational pills; and S. .A} Olsness, commisisoner of insurance, has. de- clared himself against the printing ; Oil inspector and that. his Presence in the senate was an affront. Englund proved that he: had taken! his Canadian homestead under old laws of the dominion <which did not require citizenship.
