While economic conditions are sdmittedly’ bad “we do not believe that North Dakota so poverty stricken that she must deny any child the right to a good education. Internal revenue office records at Fargo show tiat in 1922 more than $5,000,000 were spent in the state for tobacco and cigars; more than $2,000,000 for candy; mort than $2,000,000 for shows; nearly $1,000,000 for soft drinks and more than $500,000 for cos- revl The question as to how much the direct appropriations for the two year period 1923-25 shall be 1s now in the hands of the North Dakota | The appropriations are | legislature. for state departments, and miscellaneous items, The budget board cut nearly four million dollars from the requests of the departments and institutions; brought the budget down to $12,000 less than it was for the present two year period ending June 30 and told the legislators in a letter of trans- mittal which will accompany tae budget: “Great care shoyld be exercised in institutions making any further reductions, as the amounts recommended consti- tute, in our opinion, the minimum sary for proper maintenance of each department or institution.” The letter of transmittal does not warn against increases if the legis- laters should care to make any, over the hoard's recommendation. Both budget and letter of trans- mittal will soon, The various departments and in- stitutions requested $11,827,018. The board recommended $7,862,101. The present, appropriations total $7,874,- 283, There is a feeling about the capi- tol that the board members cut the budget to the bone because they felt in duty bound to do so in line with the administration program of-econ- omy, but that they feel that if the legislators, wish to Increase any ap- propriations such action will proper. Building Requests Cut Neither salary increases or new buildings have been allowed except where they were deemed absolutely indispensable, says tie letter of transmittal. After having visited all of the state penal, educational and charit- able institutions the board in the letter makes the significant state- ment that the requests—nearly $4,- 000,000 more tuan the recommenda- tions—were as a whole, reasonable but that “we have taken heed of existing economic conditions and the ery for reduced taxation.” “It must be admitted” adds the letter “nevertheless, that our recom- mendations leave but little room for expansion.” The letter then calls attention to the growth of enrollment at most of the higher educational institutions. This would be counted remarkable even in ordinary times but is phe- nomenal in the light of present con- ditions, it declares, It cites the North Dakota Agricultural College at Fargo with an increase of 52 percent im enrollment over last year; the State Teachers College with 38 per- cent and the University with 26 per- cent. The board recommends that some other state official beside the at. terney be appointed a member of the board because of that official’s lack of time. * That institutions mainteined waol- ly or in part fro charges against the counties from which its patients come, be compelled to pay to the state all deficit appropriations. The same for institutions supported wholly or in part by interest or in- come from state lands. Taat ex-Senator W. J.

Association | were re-elected. .They include: President, Dr. J, Grassick, Grand Forks; Vite-President, Dr. Fan- ; nie Dunn Quain, Bismarck; Sec- retary, Carrie Haugen, Bismarck; Treasurer, Oluf Hagen, Bis- marek. | The North Dakota Tuberculosis | Association after 14 years of work, | has found reward, in increased mem- {bership and in definite results in fighting the “white plague,” Dr. J Grassick of Grand Forks, president of the association, told directors and officers at the annual meeting in progress here today. ' “While other institutions of like nature in various parts of the coun- try have for various reasons found it difficult to function, we have not os weathered the gale but have made considerable headway in the very teeth of the wind,” said Dr. Grassick. “During the past year we have been more active than in any like period of our history and the jensuing year promises to outdo its | predecessors,” Dr. Grassick, in his president’s re- ; Port, expressed regret that the state health board was not given sufficient funds to function promptly, as,. he said, it is the logical agency “for co- relating all of our public health ac- tivities.” “Tt is my belief,” he continued. “that until the state board of health can see its way clear to take over and control from a tentral depart- ment with a whole time official at its head, all of the independent health agencies of our state, that our organization would be untrue to its principles and unworthy of the trust that has been given us. if we did not ‘carry on’ to the fullest ex- tent of our ability. Let us program for the coming year be aggressive, constructive and helpful.

J. Rusch, (Ind.) Casa county in thé-vote on adoption of his resolution calling for a report from the Fund commission relative [to the actual status of closed banks iin the state. “It is my understanding that the ;Tules of the house do not require a roll. call oh resolutions which do not involve appropriations nor amend- ments to the constitution,” said Lt. Gov. Frank Hyland. “Nevertheless I should like a roll call,” said the senator from Cass. “But this resolution as I under- stand it does not call for any appro- priation,” responded the speaker. “That is true,” replied Senator Rusch to the chair, “but I understand that the Guaranty Fund commission is prepased and ready to make a de- tailed report. This won't cost:as,.a cent byt you can't tell what:'they cost might be after we get a took at it.” And the roll call taken was a unan- imous 45 favoring the call for the detailed report.

' The .committee of agriculture to which the two resolutions had been referred brought in a divided report on factional lines, the league group urging adoption of the Ingerson res- olution in a minority report, the in- dependents urging adoption of the Rep. Jackson resolution in a ma- jority report. The two measures are practically the same, except in one detail. The Jackson measure intro- duced and passed in the house urges congress to pass legislation for the stabilization of grain prices, but fix- es no specific legislation, measures or methods by which the needed re- lief may be gained. The other intro- duced by Senator Ingerson, Burke, (N.) cites the same general chaotic conditions in the marketing of farm produce but specifically calls upon congress to approve the Norris+Sin- clair measure now pending for ‘cre- ation of a government operated buy> ing and selling agency. 3 At yesterday's session a “gentle- STATIC TG TACTANT AE TATE CAVA A aK the Provident Life Insurance Company by, a leaguer to be passed in the senate.

From August 1, 1921 to August 1, 1922, 478 cars of grain were ship- ped from Ryder. These figures are the latest obtainable because grain shipments are figured from Aug. 1 one year to Aug. 1 of the next year. These 478 cars of grain ‘represent approximately 750,000 bushels of grain raised by the farmers of the Ryder community. In 1922, 59 carloads of livestock including ‘cattle, sheep; and hogs, which go with the good ones. Black Tom, Straight Prospect, ‘buy or not.
