Among Them Repeal, of a number of measures: enacted by the North Dakota’ legis-| lature under Nonpartisan .adm.nistra- | tion is advocated by Supreme Court} Justice J. E. Robinson, who was elect- ed with Nonpartisan endorsement, in a “Saturday Evening Letter” today. Justice Robinson proposes that inita- tive measures. to supreme the laws objected to be submitted at the pri-| mary election next June, as follows: Repeal of $15 annual tax on law- yers. | Repeal of state license department | act, which creates ‘branch of :attor-) ney general's office to license pool} hails, theaters, etc., and under which prohibition enforcement department has been maintained. i. | Repeal of the motor vehicle tax; law. Repeal of the law creating the office of state tax commissioner. Repeal of the state income tax law. Repeal of the law requiring miners to have year’s experience before they can be employed in North Dakota coal mines. Repeal of the workmen’s compen- sation law. ‘ Justice Robinson proposes in sub- sequent letters to advocate measures “to govern assessments, to liquidate, reduce, cancel or adjust all taxes, and tax sales, for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921.” ‘ The venerable justice declares that drastic action is necessary to reduce tax burdens, do away with the bur- den of “new. fangled legislation” and | to. place state government on a basis | consistent with the fundamental law. , The Judge’s Letter. { The letter of Judge Robinson in full) follows: : W.ll the big dailies and ‘weeklies; give the people a chance, to. hear from their old Judge, on questions that may be submitted to the voters; at the next primary elecion? On such; matters we purpose to offer a series of timely letters and request the press to copy the same. The initial pro-; cedure is simple: The -first-sten'is to draft the proposed measure, with a; petition for its submission, That; should be.on one sheet or page, which | may be attached to the signature! pages. Each signature page is ruled into columns, with headings; each line has a marginal’ number with a place for signature, 2 place for coun: ty, name, or number of election pre- cinct and address. The first signa- ture would always be on line 1, at the top ‘of the page, following the petition. fein In due time, unless others do it, we! purpose to have printed, and circu- lated, petitions ready for signatures, ; Coulter, Arthur Sm:th, one of the three convicts who scaled the peniten- tiary walls here on the morning of January 9, has been captured at Terry, Momt., according to word received by prison author- ities from officers at Terry.

NEW BUILDING IN NORTHWEST SHOWS PROMISE Company’s Review ” Predicts Much Greater Expansion Dur- ing 1922 That in 1921 Building contracts awarded during December in Minnesota and the Da- kotas showed an increase of 75 per cent over December a year ago, ac- cording to compilations made by the F. W. Dodge Company. The review, which also covers other parts of the country, says that “the remarkably good. showing of the month of De- cember, following the good records of the four previous months, give added confirmation of the revival of con- struction activity. Every present in- dication is that 1922 will see a meas- urably larger volume of construction than the program carried through in 1921.” , Regarding the northwest the review ae Ey Contracts awarded during Decem- ber in Minnesota and the Dakotas amounted to $8,443,000, which was an 80 per cent increase over November and a 75 per cent increase over De- cember, 1920. The year’s total amounted to $85,- 262,000, a decrease of 8 per cent from 1920. . Included in this total were the’ following items: $23,962,000, or 28 per cent, for residential buildings; $23,216,000, or 27 per cent, for public works and utilities; $15,698,000, or 18 per cent, for educational buildings; $7,627,000, or 9 per cent, for Businéss buildings. Contemplated new work reported ‘during the year amounted to $233,- 000,000, compared with $85,000,000 for work actually started, leaving a con- siderabla deficit in the year’s’ pro- gram.

The chances of rescuing the three men alive grew fainter as the hours passed and no sound had been heard from that section of the mine where the men were trapped, led to the belief that they are dead.

Much of the land | in the central northern and western parts of the state has some possibil- ities of ‘being reached by water and at some points, the amount of land that might be reached by irrigation is} limited by the amount of water avail-| able. { Interest in the irrigation projects in North Dakota has been increased at; the present time by President Hard- | ing’s recent address in which he ad- vocated the reclamation of arid lands as a means of finding homes for sol- diers of the World War who desired to engage in agriculture. North Da- kota has a number of irrigation pro- jects, the most successful one from the ,standpoint of a large pumping statfon being the one at Williston. This was opened some years ago, closed for a time and then reopened during the. war under .a war time act that compelled all the farms benefitted by the project to become a part of the irrigation system. Most of the North ‘Dakota projects are for pump- ing, but a number are for tho gravity distribution of water.
