Constitution of the United States. of America. It |*" follows: oe | “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common de- fer promote the general welfare, and secure the } ngs of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, United States of América.” ‘ eee CHANGING THE INAUGURATION <a The action of the senate committee in agreeing to favor- able ‘report upon a resolution to amend the constitution to change the date of presidential inauguration from March 4°to’the third Monday in January following election is a step toward removing. a provision placed in the constitution in-the days of slow transportation as a matter of justice but wv is no longer necessary or desirable in the days of speedy transportation. Under the present provision the elected president does not take office for five months after election and an administration which has been rejected at the polls may continue to exercise the functions of govern- ment until that time. The will of the electorate ought to we and the new president and new congress ought to be able’ to begin work without unreasonable delay following election. The proposed change, it may be noted, is one of the planks cf the new “progressive bloc” but it has long been advocated hy.many leading thinkers of the country of all‘classes. Action to this end was strongly urged by the American Bar Associ- ation, and spokesmen for that body appeared before the com- mittee. (Had not the war interrupted efforts of others to this end it is not improbable that the amendment would have gone before the legislature of the various states by this time. ‘>There was difference of opinion expressed before the committee as to whether regular sessions of Congress should be‘fixed annually in January or bi-ennially. Under the pro- posals the present December term of Congress would be abol- ished. Congress has been in almost continual session for several years, and while many have loudly called for a “rest” itis likely that until the period of post-war readjustment has passed Congress will continue to be in almost continuous session, either in reguar session or by executive mandate. ey if STRENGTHENING NEEDED -, Attention is now being called forcibly to North Dakota’s | ‘@lculable service to thé state, and Mishman, turning to my father, “w The jthe Work which the house may do will inquire into the theft of this lack of work in health conservation and prevention. annual appropriation of the state health board is $3,450 and isthe smallest appropriation and the least per capita in the United States. ; , Within the last several years health boards in many states have devoted more and more time to the prevention of. disease than to any other matter. There is ample work which a department may do in this regard, and surely noth- ing can be more important to the well-being of the state than the prevention,of disease. x The present state health laws provide that there shall bea registrar of vital statistics located in the state capitol. Because of insufficient appropriations little has been done in preserving the vital statistics of the state, which are an important guide in the prevention of diseases and conserva- tion of health. The state can well afford to have an efficient, though not elaborate, health department with offices in the state capitol in Bismarck and a’ recognized standing conson- ant with the important purpose of such a départment. : : GOOSE This should get a groan from amateur hunters who.spend an occasional evening admiring their shortguns: George M. Hogue, secretary of North Dakota Game and Fish Board, writes that a wild goose weighing 23 pounds was , bagged in his section. Many a hunter would rather bag that goose than find a purse of gold. Primitive instincts are putting up a hard fight for survival, in some people, and curiously often are companions of advanced brains. If you have tried hunting and fishing and don’t care for them, the primitive in you is dying out and “the system” is getting you in its mechanical clay SAM 5 : Elizabeth Bowman, 102 years old, dies in Kentucky. She lived through changes that must have bewildered her, espe- cially the cost cf supporting the gouty old gentleman, Uncle Sam. 4 In 1820, year in which Elizabeth Bowman was born, ithe cost of running the national government was only $21,763,024. Multiply that by 200 and you have, in rough figures, the cost of running Uncle Sam’s affairs in 1922.

The substance of their argument is, more and better dairy ieows. This is certainly good busi. ness. For the dairy cow and her admirers that went to the National Dairy Show the last two years has put North Dakota on the map and lis causing other states to look this |way otherwise than political. But why has all this newspaper Jadvertisement and personal orations ;been confined to the cow. Mr. Hog has never been mention- ed in any of the two-column inter- lviews of the cow specialist printed in daily and weekly papers during the last two years. Why hogs arc not considered necessary in diver- sified farming I fail to sce. Hogs have paid off more mort- gages and made more farm improve ments and increased home comforts more than any other product _pro- duced in the greatest agricultural state in the Union. Were it not for the hogs, the states in the corn belt would have never reached. the ad. 'vaned of development they enjoy at {the present time. While we are talking of a balanced food ration jfor the dairy cow, why not a balanc- ed animal ration for the farm. Corn is a profitable crop in North | , |Dakota and can be made more pro- ifitable-. when hogs are made to Jharvest it themselves and carry it to market in the form of pork. While it is a fact, that last year (the state of Iowa lost more hogs with cholera and other preventabl: \diseases than were in the State _ of {North Dakota, it does not prove we as high a percentage keven though we doubled the number of hogs. The year ending April 30, 1922, |435,000 hogs were reported on farms in North Dakota and about 8,000 i Were reported to have died w.th hot jcholera. There is no doubt but that 17,000 of them could have been saved vhad they been give the scrum-virus ‘treatment when young and before jbeing exposed t2 cholera. If the ‘hog pens are kept clean, pastures aos jnot late enough. _ % ‘ WAS. UNDERTAKER Sick AS & 30 You NGEDN' <TELC MS.
