The card contains a map of the state, showing in white those coun- ties which voted dry at the 1928 ref- erendum with dounties voting wet | indicated by a shading on the map. | It shows clearly that the anti-pro- hibition sentiment, as reflected in that election, was centered in the western part of the state. In the northern tier the eastern- most countjes with wet proclivities were Rolette and Pierce. the eastermost one in the central sec- tion with Logan and McIntosh form- ing the wet border in the southern | er. | ‘Thomas* W.

Need Dry Congressmen His explanation is simple and, from a dry standpoint, sound. He says: ington right now. If the state is di- vided inte an east and west district, the eastern district surely will be dry but the western district may be wet. Congressmen, we would have one dry and one wet. 1 | “If we divide the state into north | and south districts the northern dis- |tviet would be dry and the southern {district would be very close.” i Mr. Gales said no dtcision had been reached to oppose congressional re- apportionment but made it clear that the tendency lies in that direction. | If the dry strength is thrown against reapportionment it will mean just another complication in a situation | which already is admitted to be dif- ficult.

CONVICT WOMAN ON SHOPLIFFING CHARGE Mrs. Bessie Swindling Sits on Husband's Lap as Court Finds Her Guilty Mrs. Bessie Swindling, charged the theft of a number of articles from the Woolworth store Dec. 9, was found guilty after a trial before Po-| lice Magistrate E. 8, Allen Thursday afternoon. | Sentence was deferred pending the: decision of Defense Counsel William Langer as to whether he would ap- peal the case. George 8. Register, state’s attor- ney for Burleigh county, rested the case for the state at 3 p. m. after he had called'10 witnesses to testify for the prosecution. The failure on the part of Langer | to call any of the defehse witnesses came as a surprise to those attend- ing the hearing. ; Mrs. Swindling, a comely matron in the thirties, sat on the lap of her husband during most of the pro-" ceedings, the cynosure of all eyes. She was apparently very much at ease, joining in the general laughter at the responses of some of the wit- nesses to questions put by the defense counsel. From time to time she turned to ‘two other young women who had accompanied her to. ‘the court room and made: whispered ‘re- marks to them. When witnesses were directed to look at her for pur- poses of identification, her composure did not leave her as she calmly re- turned their -scrutiny. The sven chad ph atemront oC an action brought py management of the Woolworth company who stated in their complaint that she had taken a Sumber a ie articles under her coat and depositing them in a parked automobile, The man- ter of sales gis testified against ber, er of sales .

Mr. Gales made it clear that in any | battles which may occur between the | three incumbent congressmen, the | ary faction would remain on the side- | lines. Burtness, Hall and Sinclair | are all satisfactory to the dry element in that all have dry voting records in congress, Gales said. Without men- tioning any names, he said the drys prefer congressmen who drink dry as | well as vote dry, but that their vot- | ling records are the essential thing. Plan Perfunctory Sessions Only perfunctory sessions were in Prospect until next Wednesday as; the result of an agreement Thursday | te der final action on any measures until that time. No bills have been | Introduced in either house as yet and None are expected until the commit- | tees are ready to function. i A resolution holding up legislation until Wednesday was passed Thurs- Gay by the house and was concurred in by the senate today. House Majority Leader L. L. Twich- and after its passage, a committee was appointed to confer with mem- bers of the senate to effect a joint agreement between the two branches. | Ample Committee Room | A joint committee of the house and | senate, considering the housing of committees, reported there is ample | room for committees in the city audi- torium and the Burleigh county me- morial building in which the legisla- | ture is meeting. These quarters wére | arranged because of the destruction of the statehouse by fire. Members said that, as far as com- mittee rooms are concerned, the new quarters will prove an advantage over those in the old state capitol. In Previous sessions there were insuffi- |clent committee rooms in the state- house to provide room for all com- ! mittees, many of which met in down- town buildings. For the first time in many years, committee rooms will be housed in the same structure as that in which the legislative chamber is lo- cated. The two buildings in which the sessiotis are being held are con- nected by a passageway, since the omeeoes are adjacent to one an- other. New School Code Is Recommended By Survey Board (Continued from page one) operating a kindergarten-on a school district which cannot afford it. Calling attention to “the enormous inerease in attendance upon our high schools,” the commission states that under the present laws many pupils are denied the privilege of a high school education, “A pupil from a rural non -high school district may present himself at @ high school for enrollment,” the report states. “His home district is required by law to pay the high school attended the Sum of $54 a year. “Many districts have refused to pay even this required tuition; therefore, many “high schools will not. enroll rural pupils, unless -or unti! they have a written statement from the board of such rural district that the tuition will be paid. ‘Where a rural school board is opposed to high school attendance, they can practically pre- vent Any pupil from such attend- anve.’ > Some Charge Moré” it is also pointed out that a large number of schools are charging a tui- tion In excess.of $54, and the difter- ence-must be borne by the student or. his parents. |. “Many-are unable to do so,” the re- port continges. “Thus.our boast of free and’ for all is huitified.” ‘The law proposed by the commis- {Sion would: restore the old jSive of all time occupied by recesses, {schools—high schools, the consolidat- county, the remainder to be distribut: ed to the several school districts in| the county on.the same basis and in the same way as the present half-mill | county levy. | “This law,” the report adds, “Is not | proposed for the benefit of high schools now existing. There is not a city or town in this state where a high school education is not available to every’ boy and ¢irl within its bor- ders. This law will give every rural boy and girl the same opportunity, the same privilege.” Other recommendations made by the commission include: A change in the teacher's certifica- |tion law because of the oversupply of teachers and because quaiifications for teachers are below those of| neighboring states. Would Fix School Days Fixing the length of a school day, which at present is not defined by law, at five and a half hours, exclu- religious instruction and other non- school activities. Abolition of teachers’ institutes, as contemplated by the statutes, because these have become practically obso- lete, and diverting the funds to other purposes. Standardization of all ciasses of ed schools, graded schools and the one-room rural schools. Provision for enforcement of the; orders of the county board of health with reference to school butldings,! and to prohibit the use of condemned buildings for school purposes. At present the county board of health may suggest to the district but there is no way to enforce its orders, Provision for the letting of con- tracts to furnish vehicular transpor- tation to school districts to the lowest bidders and fixing the qualifications of operators of such vehicles. The/| present law provides that under given | circumstances the board :nust “fur- nish vehicular transportation by pub- | lic conveyanc: Urge Many Repeals Repeal of a number of laws Is rec- ommended by the commission, in- cluded among these being statutes providing preparation of sectional maps by county superintendents for the use of assessors; providing ‘for teachers’ reading circles; and provid- ing for issuance of permits to teach by the county superintendent and state superintendent. These were all held by the commission to be obsolete.
