House Rollcall on Regents Bill 65, to Abolish Hanna’s Board and Give Frazier Chance to Name Farmers’ Men, Gets Big Vote L) BISMARCK, Feb, 2.—House Bill 65, introduced by A. M. Hagan of Bot- - tineau county to abolish the board of regents, carried in the house by a vote of 74 ayes, 15 nays and 24 not voting. The features of this measure are that it abolishes the board of five ap- prointive members, established. by the legislature of 1915, and substitutes a board of three appointive members to- gether with the governor and superin- tendent of public instruction. The * Ebel commissioner of education (and in- cidentally a salary of $5000) besides of- fice expense is also abolished by the bill, and the superintendent of public instruction is given the duties of the commissioner. This is a League measure, and it got almost all the League strength. The rollcall was as follows: For House Bill 65: Allen Marshall Arnold Martz Bailey - Maxwell Bowman Mees Brown Miller Bryans Moen, of Traill - Byrne McDonnell Church McManus Christianson Nathan Dettler Nims 4 Dupuis Noltimier Eckert O’Connor, Pembina, Ferguson Oksendahl Frederickson Olson, of Burke Geiger Olson, of Cavalier Gunhus Olson, of Eddy - Hagan Patterson Haines Peterson, Towner - Harding Pleasance Havens Prater " Hoare Quam Hoghaug Riba ~ Keéitzman Reishus Kimball -~ Renauld Knox Schick Kurtz Schrag Lageson Sinclair Laird Stair Lang Strom Leiderbach Tenneson Larson, of Cass Turner i Lazier Walton ~ Lowe Weld, of Kidder -each horse.

Riding Two Horses at Once Some Newspapers Want State-Owned Print Paper Plant, But Not-State-Owned Mills McHugh, Minn, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: According to news items and an ar- ticle in the Leader of recent date, the . publishers of Minnesota are figuring on having the state erect and operate a paper mill to relieve the print paper situation. , Now this is (in my opinion) strictly all right, and I hope to see it at the earliest possible date. But do the pub- lishers think it will stop at that? Or do they want it to? It is well known that some would like to see this idea extended to include practically if not quite all utilities. Still the fact re- mains that a great percentage of the publishers (judging from the editorials in the papers and periodicals) would object to having it applied-to elevators, mills, etc., which would directly bene- fit the great majority of the people. It looks as though they had started something, and I hope they will finish * it without a bad fall. But it looks like & circus performer -trying te ride two horses, one private ownership, the other Jpublic ownership. Naturally those-two do not work well together. "The rider is doing his best to keep one foot on The reins to private ownership are advertising and misin- formation. The reins to public owner- ship are co-operation and information. How long will the rider be able to ride both horses? And when the time comes that they get so far apart he can’t ride both, which will he decide to ride? Isn’'t it possible he will try to ride both until he can’t keep a foot-on either .one and will get a mighty bad fall? It looks as though that is going to be the case with some of those papers in North Dakota and elsewhere. No ~paper has a right te expect subscrip- tions from the people, when it oppeses everything and anything that might benefit them. One can not help but notice the lack of information in more than three-quarters of the papers. Not 8 word about the Shields, Myers and Phelan bills; nothing about the Hay- NINETEEN Chamberlain military bill, and many others. The people will have to do the paying. Shouldn’t they have the right to know all that is going on? Are they afraid the people might do some think- ing for themselves if they had all this information? ‘Well, the people of North Dakota did do some thinking and:. we know it -‘wasn’t good for a certain class when they did think and act. é ‘We hope to see the state-owned paper mill to relieve the present print paper situation. All the people should work for it. Also we would like to see several other state-owned and operat- €d mills, and hope the newspapers and periodicals will help to get these. We all need them. GEO. W.
