PROPOSED LAW KBEPS SCHOOLS ~ FROM POLITICS Restores Power to Officer Elect- ' ed by the People on Non- } Political Ballot Editér's fourth of a series ¢ ing with the five to be yoted on No Shall education in North Dakota be sfpervised by the elected, constitu- tional officer, or by appointed offi- cers? This is the question before the vot- ers in the initiated measure ‘deali with the superintendent of public in- struction. : Or it might be stated: Shall the schools be in or out of politics? The people of North Dakota, and most states in the union, elect thei superintendent of public in8truction. It is made an elective office by most state constitutions. Through elect: ing this official the people themselves maintain a guiding hand on ,educa tion. North Dakota not only provides that this official shall be elected, but shall be elected on a nonpolitical ba)- lot. And if the power of the state superintendent is assumed by per- sons appointed by officials elected on straight political issues the sghools fecessarily are dragged jnto poli- tics. o The initiated measure, designed to give the superintendent of public in- struction the power thé constitution intends the superintendent shall have. This measure, with the nonpo- litical ballot election, would do much to keep the schools out of politics. What Law Provides. The measure provides: Section 1109 (rescribe courses of study). He shall have charge and supervision of the certifica- tion of teachers, standardization of schools and uniformity of text books, examinations for eighth grade aud high school pupils and preparation of courses of study for the several classes of public schools. Section 2. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. The motive which prompted the in- itiation of this measure was the be- lief that, ‘the :powers.itaken from Miss Minnie Nielson, state superintendent, should be restored. : But, as outlined above, it has a larger application. The announcement of the Joint Cam- paign committee asking people to {vote “yes” on this measure, fol- lows: Committee Statement Cartloads of public records have been taken out of the superintend- ent of public instruction’s office.

The failure of the league leaders “o draw the old-time enthusiastic srowds, the growing number of pi- meer farmers who have joined the inti-Townley forces and are taking che stiémp for O'Connor, the very fact hat the league leaders are “scarel sreen” is an indication of the senti- nent in the state.

Friend of J.B. ® O'ConrdMhags made a great sampaign. There is no questioning the ‘act that the anti-Townley forces were ukewarm when the fight began. The struggle of the primary has pitched vountary workers to fever heat and there was a reaction. Not so with he league polit: ns. Their jobs de- vended on their work; they are paid o play politics the year around. Mr. O’Connor not only has over- come this lukewarm spirit, but he ias done it through the fairest sort of campaign. The league has had dif- ‘iculty in making attacks on O'Connor, His record in the legislature showed him a friend of the farmer and of the worker. The only vicious attack the league has been able to make on uim was that he was a lawyer for a yarmers’ elevator which asked the U. 3. court to decide whether the United States or State laws obtained. And 3eth Richardson. league candidate for the supreme bench, appeared as at- orney for insurance companies which similarly sought an interpretation of im insurance law. Milnor Meeting ‘The Milnor Teller gives an account of a league rally which shows the thange in sentiment: “When the writer entered the ‘ris theatre Monday afternoon short- y after the league rally had started, we were rather doubtful about get- ing a seat, forgetting, momentarily. ‘hat there had been some ‘slipping’ going on and that the oldtime pep ‘aad been bottled up and stored away. We were agreeably. surprised, how- aver to find the seating capacity grossly sufficient to house the audi- ence. There was room galore and we planted ourselves leisurely in the rear end of the building that we might get a full benefit of the ora- ‘ory to be delivered in behalf of the feaders of the Nonpartisan league.’ * On the succeeding day a meeting vas~ addressed by W. H. Stutsman. The attendance at this meeting was more than double that of the preced- ing day at the Iris theatre,” says The Teller. “Men and women came in large numbers to hear Mr. Stutsman’s speech, which was right to the point.

C., Oct. 22.—America is synonymous with service, declared Governor Coolidge in an address here today brimful of allusions to the hon- or and dignity of work. He said he spoke of service in the spiritual as well as the materiaf sense and con tinued. “That people will fail which devotes itself exclusively to the ac- cumulation of wealth and which makes property the cilef end of man That people will become strong and vigorous whose work is measured by the ideals of right and justice and liberty.” Cherishes No Delusions. The’ Republican party, he said “cherishes no delusions that any scheme of government or any change in the organization of society could relieve the people from the necessity of work. The rules of nature cannot be set aside. Observed they point the way to success and character.” Su cessful democracy, he id, can achieved only at the price of “con- stant effort.” It is a law to disre gard which, he continued, “is to invi destruction and anarc! and to ob- serve which is to “develop power anil government.” The American people, the Govern- or went, on, have always exalted la bor, whether of the head or hand. The old Europe, he said, sharply dil ferentiated between its peoples and established their rank and social pos- ition by the kind of work performed “We shall have no spch artificial standard here,” he said. “To us the tiller of the soil abd the skilled me- chanic are measured hy the samo re- gard as are the doctor or lawyer or banker. We demand that each of us shall do his work and do it with all his skill and might and energy. And we can demand promptly in return that the conditions under which the work is done shail be fair and decent with adequate reward for accomplish- ment.” Greater Production. Touching on the alleged- need of ater production which, he de- hed as “the sure cure of profiteer- he said: ing, “The world is never very far aheal of starvation; bitter experience has shown us the mere shade that exists between fuel and freezing. We, who have the fields. and the mines and who are blest with order under law, have a supreme duty to ourselves and to humanity as a whole. That duty is to secure maximum output in agri- culture and industry and in return to pay the reward to which such action is justly entitled.. Production is a moral obligation as well as a mater ial necessity. It is the sure cure of profiteering. To evade it is to injure ourselves as well as our fellow man. “We have heen living under a tre- mendously rising tide of wages. Our progress in this respect in the last four years has ‘almost..exceeded the progress made in all previous. time. It has put existence on a new starnd- ard. Never before was there any- thing to compare with it. This has raised a grave question as to wheth- er production has been equal to di tribution, whether wages are being earned by the combined enterprise of labor, management and capital, o1 whether they are being paid in part out of capital. Wages can \increase as long as they are earned. Whe: not earned but paid from capital, ais- aster is at hand, a dsiaster sure to bear with the greatest severity on the wage earner and his dependents. “There are two things that aré im- portant to wage earners. The first is to put sufficient effort into their employment so that the present scale of wages will not be reduced. So- ciety has determined rightly that be fore there is any general reduction in our wage scale, every effort’ shal! be made to’ maintain ft by a sufficient intensity of work. To this end cap- ital, management and the wage -earn- er must cooperate.” TWO COMPANIES NCORPORATED Articles of incorporation filed, with the secretary of state include: Marmarth Roachdale company, mer- chandise, co-operative company, with $25,000 capital stock.

In the south and west counties an infuriated populace is killing the king’s constables/wholesale; and the constabulary, backed ; 1 the power of a great army of occupation that is on a complete war footing, is retali- ating with a slaughter of the populace and acts of violence against private property. In north Ireland, or Ulster, Protest- ants have been ;killing Catholics and Catholics have been killing Protes' ants; while the military at times, in an attempt to maintain a semblance of neutrality .has killed some of both. Other Forms of War Added to the widespread bloodshed are the burning of barracks, the loot- ing of gun and ammunition shops, the destruction of military supply trains and depots by tha Irish people; and military and constabulary reprisals that have laid waste whole sections of cities and towns, destroyed crops, creameries apd livestock. No man's life or property is safe in Ireland today. oe What ha ed the present ter ible state of affairs? What is the truth about conditions? What, if anything, can be done to restore peace and tranquility? J came to Ireland and have been touring the country in 4n effort to get at the truth. The-truth is not easy to find. Both the British military and the Trish Sinn Fein ‘have, it appears to my, unbiased viewpoint long since passed the stage where they are in- clined to be fair with each\other. There are two distinct “problems” in Ireland today. One is the “Irish Republic” and the other is the “Ulster millions of Irishtien in south vest Ireland want a republic for nd, while more than one mill- ion Irishmen in north Ireland, or Uls- ter, swear they'll die before they'll become part of a republic.
