The' amendment proposed ‘adds the following provision to this :section: “Provided, that the state may .appropriate money in the treasury or to % be thereafter raised by taxatien for the * construction or ‘imprevament of public ‘highways.” - This would permit a state highway system. ; : WILL REQUIRE FOUR JUDGES TO KNOCK OUT LAW { The amendment limiting the authority of . the -supreme court in- the matter of declaring laws passed by the legislature ‘or by the people under the initiative or referendum unconstitutional affects sec- 3 tion 89 of the constitution: - It ‘simply provides that if ‘more than: one of ‘the five judges does not agree that'the law under ‘consideration is unconstitutional it : can - not ~be .declared unconstitutional. B The: vote must be four to one, at least, : to knock out a law on.the grounds of its unconstitutionality, if the amendment is ¢ finally adopted by the people. The proposed amendment regarding . state hail insurance will add, if finally adopted by the people, a new section to the state constitution reading as follows: © “The legislative assembly may by law provide for the levy of a tax upon- such lands as may be provided by law of the state for the purpose_of creating a fund to insure the owners of growing crops against losses by hail; provided, that Such tax shall not affect the tax of four mills levied by the constitution. The legislative assembly may classify such “ lands’of the state as may be provided by Jaw,.and divide the state into districts on : 8uch basis_as shall seem just and necess- ] : ary; and may vary-the tax rates:in such - - districts in accordance with the risk, in order to secure an equitable distribution 3 o ‘of the burden of such tax among the owners of such lands as may be provided & by law.” ; B This amendment would enable the carrying out of the present farmers’ pro-— gram for state hail insurance. FIRST MORTGAGE LOANS O * BY STATE PROPOSED S B The proposed amendment in regard to system of rural-credits also would ew paragraph to the constitution, i of section 185. The amend- ment proposes the addition' of the folowings.© : £'“The legislative assembly may by law vide for the formation of rural .- @gricultural credit associations, incorpor- ~ated or.voluntary, under the supervision ‘. of ‘a department state and may-. ; , of the'state, or otherwise, and pass _ laws regulating the use of such fund. The re-payment of the-obligations'to the ate herein authorized shall in all cases ' secured by first.mo blish ‘a loan fund by pledging the - agricultural real property in the manncr provided by law.” This would enable a state operated system of rural credits, providing for loans to farmers on first mortgages on land. § The amendment proposed in regard to cooperative ' assqciations as a result of petitions from farmers’ cooperative selling and buying companies. These * companies almost universally limit the right of stockholders in the matter of voting at stockholders’ meet- ings. They give each stock holder-only one vote, no matter how much stock he controls. or owns. The constitution at present and the general laws of the state, as well as court decisions, would seem to make this procedure uniauthorized, and to be safe the cooperative societies want the full right to make théir own rules in regard to voting power of stockholders. The proposed constitutional amendment simply gives cooperative companies that power. S = R STOP JOCKEYING _ (Editorial in the Cooperators’ Herald.) The board of = regents authorized several months ago a suivey of the edu- cational institutions of the state. : That survey—presumably made_ by experts—was to exhibit to the people of the state the conditions of' their schools. It was announced some time ago that ‘the work was conipleted and a report ready—that the job of investigation was complete. ! ‘The board of regents_has since with- held that report on one pretext on another and -the, people still wait the information it contains. .. R First . it was withheld because the primary election was coming on and the board “did not want to get the schools into politics.” . Just how a ‘rep~t—supposedly the work of * disinterested ~parties—would project the schools into politics the board of ‘regents in its superior ‘wisdom ‘has not stated. S i .. Now—with the primary over are we to presume- that reading of the report will be dangerous to the people bf the state- because. of’ election? : Who's 'being ~protected behind- the the near approach of ‘an -~ gskirts of the board'qf‘ 'régent’s_‘ fin this ; “instance? @ . What game is being played behind the || scenes of which. the people ‘of North.- |I' Dakota—the real parties in interest in this case—must be kept in ignozjance?; " If the state schools are all right then the” report™ can 'have no 'unfayorable effect. ; : e i . If they are wrong—if the political game that has been played by the : Hanna. ‘Gang—of which the board: of regents is & part—has involved the _schools as many think—what purpose is being served by this secrecy-on the part. . iof the board? ¢ R e ] liow-down on. thi ~1t’s time for a. was initiated | ; rd. f regents, - There are a lof*of people in akota who have. absolutely no confidence in the board or any of its acts. Let’s have that report -=—promptly. ANOTHER CHANCE The Equity organization, a farmers’ organization, has bought a flouring mill and elevator at Fairmont, this state. They are putting out a brand of flour naming it Loftus Favorite. The organ- ization is enterprising and is soliciting trade from the different parts of the state. Here is an opportunity for the’ gallant men ‘in Fargo who so bitterly attacked the Equity organization and the Nonpartisan League to make a new attack. The gentlemen should make haste so as to keep their hands well trained fighting the farmers.—FARGO SEARCH-LIGHT. WOULD WELCOME IT _Personally, we would like to see a - trial made of a morning daily nade by the Nonpartisans. It would inject a lot of spice into the campaign and the people of the state could bank on getting a lot of political past history of the candidates dragged into the light.
