The road should | be policed by a uniform officer or officers on motor cycles. | The drunken driver of automobi is a greater menace to others than the gun toter. That the Dohn family escaped | death the other evening is little short of a miracle. It now remains to be seen how the law will deal with the offender | who might have caused a tragedy. ce I There should be some plan by which the two cities ean fe s arrange to police the paved highway in the interest of and sane driving. This accident should serve to impre those charged with policing the road of the immediate nec sity of drastic’ action unless the incident of last Monday evening is to be repeated through negligence of the police. It is often remarked also that strangers in the city can- not locate a policeman. None wear any insignia to indicate his. afficial position. Surely Bismarck is, getting large enough for a uniformed police department from the chiet | down so that it will be possible to locate one when the neces- sity arises. Just why the entire marck police force desires to ap- pear without uniforms has never been successfully explain- ed. To the visitor, the city looks as though there were no | police here at all. The City Commission, if it is not presumptuous to offer a suggestion, might well take steps to police the paved high- way within the county limits and if necessary get some as- sistance from the sheriff’s office. One or two uniformed policemen would also help out the situation and be an added protection to the people of this! city. A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY Paul R. Fossum, instructor in Economics and Soc science, has made a comprehensive study of the agrarian movement in North Dakota. It is not viewed from the poli- tical angle but in a decidedly scholarly manner. It is free ..from the rancor that obtained so often in discfssing the origin and rise of the Nonpartisan League in years gone by. The time has come when the movement can be discussed purely from an academic standpoint and the fallacies pointed out in a friendly and not hostile manner. This denotes dis- tinet progress toward the settlement of the agrarian prob- lems. Mention is made of the storm of protest that arose when E. A. Williams of Burleigh, a member of the constitutional convention, introduced a constitution favored by Mr. Villard, president of the Northern Pacific. The Farmers’ Alliance then coming into strength protested against a handmade, framed-in-advance constitution and decided to adopt one, section by section. There is this interesting footnote rela- tive to the Villard constitution: “The constitution is supposed to have been written by Professor James Bradley Thayer of the Harvard Law school at the request of President Villard who then had it intro- duced to the convention by Delegate Erastus A. Williams from Burleigh county, a Bismarck lawyer. After having been bitterly attacked -by M. N. Johnson, who later was elected to a seat in the U. S. Senate by the insurgent Repub- licans it was rejected as ‘a piece of unwarranted outside in- termeddling.’ It was, however, in many respects an admir- able document and must have served as a guide to many members of the convention. From this analysis it appears that the statement made by demagogues at a later date that the constitution was framed by the paid minions of ‘Big Biz’ is founded only in fiction, unless ‘Big Biz’ was the North- western Alliance.” The Farmers’ Alliance is regarded as the parent organ- ization from which sprang the Grange, the Equity and finally the Nonpartisan League. This article is well worth the reading by the student interested in the agrarian movement in this state. j THE BEDROOM ON WHEELS H A police officer, observing a car standing at night on the roadside near the edge of town with a man asleep in it, was about to arrest the occupant on a charge of intoxication. The occupant demurred, loudly and logically, protesting that : he was a perfectly sober traveling salesman who preferred money he saved. : 4The practise is not to be recommended for general adop- ‘’ tif, since automobiles are intended for one purpose and : hétels for another, and if everybody traveling by motor took to*sleeping thus, it would seriously clutter up the streets highways. Nevertheless the example is suggestive, and thé wonder is that it is not followed more by travelers, espe- cially, pleasure tourists. leeping in an ordinary automobile seat has its disad- vantages. Contraptions have been devised, however, for making such slumber more comfortable. Yet makers of automobiles and accessories have been slow about providing Aight Pullman berth equipment for motor cars. : There are the obvious’ examples of gypsy wagons and ‘yachts.

Instead, the commission did not return for years, and then its only report was that it had searched the whole world for a century where Christianity was practiced but had been The The Australians seem to have had similar reports as to In fact, if they believed half the tales we tell each other in America, it is a wonder any of them .voted But nobody is What fies us in principle. satisfied with it in operation. we lack is understanding of what is the matter with it, We still aspire to‘cure a struc- tural defect by “electing better men.” We know that this is not what is the matter with our judicial system.

How much water should a person drink daily? The amount needed varies. It is safe, however, to say that every adult’ person ‘should — drink| three quarts a da: Many do not drink this amount. Some take a glass of water before breakfast, a giass at noon and a glass at the evening meal.

'PEOPLE’S FORUM| + 54 <=» THE WHY OF THE FROG LAW Editor of Tribune: * An item going the rounds of the newspapers of the State, with the above query, and the fact that I have been cited as the author of the bill, leads me to offer the following explanation: abi: During the legislative session of 1923, a bill was offered providing for @ close season’only, this was de- feated, Subsequent jiveatigation of the ted in the finding of question resu! the fact that the frog was of much economic value-to the ‘state, The catching of the frog for mai first carried on by non-re- partly owing to the fact mesota had sed a lai prohibiting the shipping of troy out of the state, it was found that these trappers and dealers were u: ing fences, nets, and traps at all seasons of the year in their oper: tions, resulting in all but extermina ing the frog ‘wherever they work- ed, largely because their fences and “|traps were stretched across the places where the frog left his winter quarters to pass out to the breeding grounds, by this method nearly every frog was ‘captured, as it takes about four years for a frog to gr to a marketable size the result w: inevitable 1 8 ness have ' equate check could be made, from hearsay gnd other evidence it has been found that one dealer paid out in a little over'two years something over $76,000.00 to men, women and children’ in ‘the counties of Sargent, Ransom and Richland, caught, and ‘ i 1 gnd 1r2"Sents each, hesid te 5 h Soir ae son only cou! pro! ree eee jemselves This meant| president of a south: that over 5,000,000 ‘frogs ‘had ‘been pan » boasts that hi id for an average price | “fiddler” ‘and has entered the * ae it] Fiddlers’ | Straw" and. resident dealers have moved their headquarters euch year. If the state was net to be ex- ploited it was necessury to have re yulatory laws, and if the frogs were not to be exterminated it was ne- cessary to provide for. a close season during their breeding time which is usually in April and May in this state, Of the bill as passed Section 1 pro- vides for a close season and limits the size, Section 2 prohibits the use of fences, nets, traps and pitfalls, Section 3 as pas: somewhat am- biguous in its , the intent of this Section 4s drawn was to prohibit the shipping of frogs under 2 1-2 inches in length, for the reason that many thousands ot otherwise unsalable size was shipped into other states to be used as fish bait. ‘There is some demand for live frogs to be used for disecting pur- poses in the schools. A paragraph was inserted to provide a way where- by a supply could be obtained legal- iy, the provision for a permit to fill that demand to be issued by the Se- cretary of the gamie and fish board and the fee charged for that permit applies only to that phase of the frog business. ree As the state claims ownership of ‘ all game .life, it is assumed that they also have ownership of the frogs and may pass regulatory laws. That it may be possible to learn the value of the fror to the state it becomes necessary to license dealers in the business and to require of the ex- tent of same, It was not the intent of the law to require a license of any citizen who may wish to trap take and sell so long as they do not engage in the business cf buying and selling or shipping, therefore any citizen has the right to take in any way not pro- hibited by this law, and to sell to licensed dealers or to ship to mar- ket, provided they do not buy from others, While laws are made to be observed many break them, therefore it is necessary to provide a punish- ment for any infraction of same this is provided for in section 5. This explanation covers the work- ing points of thg law briefly, many inquiries are being received, and this will perhaps provide a working know- ledge of the frog law. y, Submitted by, di : E. 7.
