It. will be. recalled that the regular session of 1919 adjourned after about fifty days of the session had passed and it -was announced by leaders of the'assembly that the funds so. saved were to be used to pay the expenses | of a special session, if one was called the Governor, later un. The sp2- ing from the regular session fell $16 - C°) short of meeting the expenses of the special session. However, the svecial session failed to make an ad ditienal appropriation and the state auditor after paying the clerks eni employes of the session, and some of the members found that the fund ap- propriated for the~sixteenth legisla; | tive assembly had been exhausted and he took the position that while the legislators were extitled to their per diem and mileage that there was no fund available at that time from which to pay the same. Court Action. An action was started in the dis- trict court of Burleigh county by one of the legislative members, who did | not receive his pay, and Judge W. 1, ! Nuessle last week hejd that it was the duty of the state auditor to draw his warrant in payment thereof, regard- less of the fact that there was no specific appropriation made... In his answer, filed with Judge Nuessle, | State Auditor Kositzky made ‘his po- sition clear that he did not at any | time deny that. the legislators -were not entitled! to their per diem and mileage’ but that he did contend that there. was no appropriation available forthe payment of the same and ask-., ed ‘that the action be dismissed or | that a court order be issued directing | him to pay these claims in order that he might be. protected. 7 Both the constitution and the statutes of the state of North Dakota prohibit the state auditor from draw- ing a warrant except in pursuance to an appropriation: made by Jaw and a! penalty is provided ‘by the statute for so doing. _ In the order signed by! Judge Nuessle, and which was served upon Mr. Kosftzky’s: counsel today, { the appropriation against which ‘thes2 j warrants should be drawn is not, pointed out, and the State “Auditor has announced that in view of this! fect he feels that it was the intent | of the court to leave this matter to! his discretion, and) he has stated that he will draw thede warrants ‘against the appropriation made by the last. legislative assembly, presumably for the seventeenth legislative assembly. which will convene in January, 192i. Thois will probably make it neces- sary for the incoming legislative as- sembly to make an additional appro- priation to cover its own expenses, but ir. the judgment of the State Audito: there is no other possible appropria- tion against ‘which these warrant: may be drawn. 2 COMIGOPERA AT REX TODAY To the overzealousness—in the first scene of the first act—of a party of | well intentioned, globe-trotting Amer- icais seizing on the first expedient for ‘relief, from: their, self-created state of increasingly unbearable en- nui, without thought or’ heed of pos- sible embarrassing complications arising therefrom, or of ,;whom their scheme might effect or how it might catapult, is due the happily thicken- Ing plot—of thé second scene in the first act—and the ¢rackling comedy intrigues developed—in the | first scene of the second act—which so hopelessly ensnarls these tourists and others drawn innocenty into their swirl that an unusually intricate pro- cess of refining of the whole plot be- comes necessary and this, of manifest importance, must be intrusted to the finesse of the author, in ‘the final scene—the second scene in‘the sec- ond act—which scene, paradoxically as it may seem, leads right up to and dovetails into the action of the char- acters disclosed in the prologuc, which opens the play.
