It is time that we took note of the operation of these laws from an enforcement point of view, and to observe wheth- er the results are as good as we are entitled to expect. I, therefore, take this occasion to urge you to investi- gate the situation as it exists in your thet and Ae visas whether se laws are being obcyed ii rere ie obeyed in every ug, Not Using Tax Stam It has come to the attention of our department that. some dealers have sold cigarettes without stamps being affixed by law. The receipts of the state treasurer's office, where 4 dicate a wide spread practice of evading this pro- vision of the law. Persons doing this are not only guilty of vio the law, but they are defrauding the state out of revenue justly due it for granting to them the privilege of dealing in cigarettes for profit. I think we should require a strict obedience to this provision of the law, and deal severely with aN per- sons guilty of violating it. Not only should dealers who are found guilty be punished by the local officers; but the evidence’of the violations should be furnished to the attorney gener- al’s office, so that their permit to do business may be ret . “Under the provisions of the law, the responsibility for enforcing these cigarette laws rests not only upon the attorney general’s office, but up- on the state’s attorneys and peace of- ficers as well. The law provides that ‘in the enforcement ef this act, the attorney general may call to his as-| sistance any state’s attorney and any peace officer.’ 23 Cooperation Asked. “T realize that xtate’s attorneys are now burdened with many duties in respect to law enforcement general- ly; so is this office. Nevertheless I solicit. your earnest cooperation in the enforcement of the cigarette laws, to the end that full and faith- ful obedience to al) of the provisions thereof may be secured.” In soliciting the cooperation of sheriffs and polite officers , Shafer pointed out that “there are 2,000 Ii censed cigarette dealers operating in more than 600 cities and villages in the state. This office does not have an inspection force large enough to adequately supervise the conduc these dealers without the acti sistance of all police officers state. I accordingly solicit cooperation in securing a full faithful | obedience to all the sions of these laws.” if News From the | .

'259 PERSONS DIED. IN 1924 | | Occurred Among Persons Under Year of Age ~ ‘Apoplexy caused more deaths North Dakota during 1924 than any that year, just completed by the state health department, show. it account. ed for the demise of 259 persons. ed for 224. Three different forms of pnetimon- ja caused a total of 489 deaths. Of these, broncho pneumonia led the way with 202, lobar pneumonia caused 141, and other forms’ of pneumonia Other leading causes of death were: Canger of stomach, 186; diabetes, 72; chrénic nephritis, 197. Of the 4,860 deaths reported in the state in 1924, 2,741 were males and 2,119 were females; 4,699 were white, 144 were Indians, and the remainder were divided among 11 different na- tionalities. First Year Most Dangerous. The first year still is the most dan- gerous, the statistics showed, and the age division in which persons are mest susceptible to death is that be- tween 60 and 69. The records showed deaths of 974 infants and 686 per- sons in the decade just past the 60 mark. That longevity is common in | North Dakota is shown by the fact that the third age division in point jof the number of deaths is’ that be- tween 70 and 79, a total of 603 per- sons having reached their allotted three score and ten years before thc grim reaper took them in 1924.

It doesn’t seem as if the validity man’s claim to the honor he was a Republican or a Democrat, but apparently that’s the way Con- gress looks at it. At any rate, Congress’ members are divided mainly along party lines on the Reosevelt-Wilson memorial proposition. Same Site Is Wanted By Both groups If it were a question of the me- morial alone, two memorials would settle the matter. But, as avas pointed out recently, both groups want the same site. As Washington is plann one unoccupied spot rem: tomac Park, where an imposing mon- ument will show to the very best ad- vantuge. The Rooseveltians thought they had this spot pre-empted and had their plans all drawn, but now tne Wilsonites are making a strong drive to upset the arrangement. Colonel Would Laugh A surprising degree of bitterness is developing out of the wrangle. The Republican majority at the capitol is in a position to decide in the Rooseveltians’ favor and that’s their inclination, but it isn’t easy to go ahead with a pretentious me- morial to their‘ hero's greatness jn the face of a formidable, though a minority, protest that he wasn’t as great as they think he was. The situation probably would grently entertain ‘the colonel, if. he could be here to see it, but it en- rages his admirers. The Rooseveltians, on the other hand, are placed in the position of having to depreciate the war presi- dent’s accomplishments, as their on- ly means of combating his greatness’ superiority to the colonel’s. Naturally this, in turn, infuriates “| the Wilsonites. 1 Both sides realize that it’s an un- dignified squabble, they resent it on their respective great men’s ac- count, and yet, while the other keeps a cite Would Only Widen the Row The suggestion, heard in a few quarters, that the question be left to a national plebiscite, finds little support, as it’s argued such a solu- tion siniply would swell the we from Washingtonian to countr: ie proportions, with no hope of leading to a generally satisfactory settle- ment in any event. A likelier outcome appears to be the adoption of a Congressional) res- olution against the erection of any national memorial within less than 50 or 100 years following the death of the individual it is intended to honor. This will be a bitter pill for the rival memorialists to swallow, but it is begininng to be agreed that some way must be found of termin- it up, neither one can stop it. ating what, in its nature, is a scan- dalous dispute and geting. worse the) longer it continues. : As for. sites for memorials, there's no scareity of them in Wushington, rovided the memorialists are. will- ing to take what they ean get. tne office of public buildings and. parks recently issued a list of of them and there'll be more as the city grows, duc allowance being made for them whenever an addi- tion is tacked on. However, they won't do for the Rooseveltians and Wilsonites. They want that place iu Potomac Park or none at all.
