THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) A NEEDED CHANGE -Qne of the best and most important legislative acts is that creating a state budget board, but there are certain defects in the present, law that should be corrected at this session. . These relate chiefly to the time given:the board for collecting the data and compiling its report. Sufficient time should be alloted the members of |: ain the: needs of the various stitutions and the time for filing the: port ‘should be so fixed that every member-elect:of the legislature could have a copy either upon his‘arrival or a week or two before the ‘peasion: conyened. t ‘No one is tg blame for the present condition. The law givesitoo little time for the board to do good | conatrnefive work. It is not.a small task that ‘confronts, the budget board every two years androvision should be made making it manda- _ tory: for all department heads to have their esti- ‘mates in early. Advance the first meeting of the board: and then fix’ the limit for the filing of the printed report: about December 15 preceding efich ‘seasion. Thése changes, the Tribune believes, would be welcomed by every state officer and certainly ' the legislators would favor a system that would cut the usual log rolling over appropriations to a a minimum. bo). @TEXAS'BIDL?

There is available $160,000,000 through. federal aid, and $276,200,000 has een ; provided through direct levies by states .and|: counties. During the year it is probable that more money will be available-for. road work. in}: the:year. The total will be well over a. billion dollars. There ia no denying the need for better roads, miles and miles of them, in every state. Not since before the war has there been a time when as many thousands of unemployed workers were available for road work. .A billion dollars, to with, will “kill” many miles of bad roads, many thousands of unemployment cases. It does hoth at the sama time. . But the underlying thought, and the highest goal, at’ that: congress should not be providing eniployment for workers, not a market for ma- terials; it should be GOOD roads where they are’ neaied ‘MOST. Good roads are only GOOD roads if they are built to bear a traffic of many years. Also they’ must be built. efficiently, which is to say, without mixing either labor or materials with graft. MADNESS OF MAN Sir Robert Armstrong-Jones, noted, British mental expert, has stirred up quite a bit of argu- ment. by asserting that “there are plenty of peo- plewho ought to be certified as insane whose con- duct is tolerated. asylums'who are not there.” = \ Really. there ‘is little to be worried abouts de- spite the avalanche of opinion that the world is headed -for madness because of the hurry man}, has gotten into. Man has been mad quite a few years. Three centuries before the birth of Christ Aristotle learned that “no excellent soul is ex- empt from a mixture of madness.” Something}, like 400 years later Horace said to a neighbor, “He appears mad indeed but to a few, because the majority is infected with the same disease.” More than 17°centuries later Dr. Johnson dis- covered that’“Many a man is mad and goes through life without having it perceived.” Pe MONEYLESS RUSSIA Again it has been announced that Russia is going onto a moneyless::basis, :: The soviet gov- ernment, dispatches indicate, is about ready for the, cx ieetiaeht although, in truth the Bolshe- yists for some months have been on or near, a no-money basis by having: too much money.

A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT The Nonpartisan upheaval in North Dakota ‘several,years ago brought into public notice sev- eral quaint characters, a few of them of marked ability. Of these latter is Justice J. E. Robin- .son, a member of the supreme court of that state. |‘ ‘Justice Robinson, for years a tax-title lawyer in| ¢ Fargo, was probably selected by the Townleyites| © ‘because of his local reputation for contempt of | traditional methods in the practice of law and ‘the faculty of expressing his independence in pic- ; .tyresque language. These qualities have lost nothing since his ele- vation to the bench. In fact they have developed ‘toa point that has occasionally attracted nation- ‘particularly when certain fundamental property rights ‘were involved and Justice Robinson de- clined to sanction Socialistic assaults upon them. ‘Nothing, perhaps, better illustrates the justice’s disregard of orthodox ethics than his practice of ‘giving a weekly letter to the press. These letters rin the frankest language dixcuss the courts and 'some fo the important. cases that come_ before him as a supreme court justice. The idea run- ning through them all, however, is that the courts bare for the people, that the laws should be sim- plified and litigation made Jess expensive. In a recent letter to the Bismarck Tribune, he ‘says: “In time, in moacy and in vexation the administration of justice does cost too much. It is a fearful tax. There is nothing So expensive. The trial of actions does. often impose on tax- payers and suitors a burden that is grievous to ‘be borne. The record is swollen, the trial de- layed and made doubly expensive by improper motions, questions, objections and exceptions. It is high time for the courts and the lawyers to ponder on the words of Christ and -to put the practice of the law on a higher plane. The law- yers and the courts are responsible for a good share of the high taxes. In the administration of justice there is no proper regard for economy.” Justice Robinson may have his vagaries but it is also evident that he has considerable common sense. —Diluth Herald, This latter is a topic the congress) | may well include in its discussions, ml Many people ought to be in Le coleman DAILY.
