MEMBER OF A380CIATEO PRESS The new hotel inspection bill has passed both houses and ought to re sult in keeping the hotels up to a high standard, if its provisions are at all rigidly enforced. There are eight-foot bed sheets provided for—one foot shorter than the Oklahoma law pro vides—santiary plumbing, carpets and rugs to be cleaned at least once a year— dean pots, kettles and pans, proper fire escapes and various other proper ap purtenances—including a general and stern warfare upon those occupants of some hotels who neither register, pay bills or eat at table—but are found in rooms to the great discomport of the paid guests. Seriously speaking, these note! matters would seem more prop erly the subject for municipal police regulation than for state enactment, and we do not know now many states have state hotel inspectors, but we do not believe the number is many. Regu lations for the health and safety of guests are wise and necessary. Whether fixing the length of-bed sheets and the frequency of carpet cleaning is a proper subject for state legislation we are not quite sure, but we've got the new law anyway. Fairly and properly enforced, with reason and common sense, the law ought to do some good, and cannot do much harm. Perhaps aftter awhile we shall get around to regulating other kinds of business, in the interests of health, cleanliness and santiation. There is a general tendency these days for ment what common sense and self in terests should lead us to do of our own will and accord. It is understood the appropriations committee of the senate has pretty well finished its work and will make a report about the first of next week. The com mittee has been holding nightly meet ings and seeking to apportion the funds wiairly among the different institutions "and applicants. The big institutions of the state, the university and agricul tural college, will be pretty well pro vided for, and. liberal provision as possible will be made for the normal schools, the industrial school and oth er institutions, of course, have the first claim on the state funds, and the com mittee is striving to make a fair pd justment of this difficult matter ^and at flie same time keep within the revenues. It is understood the bill to pay farmers for the loss of glandered horses will be reported favorably, and an appro priation will be made as usual for im migration. The bill to take the supeme court off .wheels and fix all terms at Bismarck Shas passed both houses and will beconv a law. This is an evidence of the de crease of local and sectional feeling :u ^i| the state and of the fact that our com munities realize the necessity of-stand• :$i,i 'm% for what is best for the entire state f|£§' and not for the temporary interests of [$0*^cities or localities. It is better for the |ifk':tonrt to have terms held at the capital, Jt: where the judges have their chamoers, f-'Sr^ where the law library is at hand, and *&%£•where after arguments die judgs3 may i*$l!':'}8ft: ,1§fch&s in the quiet of their chambers and g£| continue their work of reading an-J ad 'f&k iirdication of cases. It used to be that l^gpShex cities considered the holding of lla^.retms-of'iupsyejne court'.within them-as right to be jealously guarded, but it come to pass that a better general l^'strtiment exists in the state anc that ,„ sMtte advantages and interests of tb ll^aurf' are taken into account ligis- •::m *•?$&*& N.

D. TWINE IS CHEAPER THAU MINNESOTA TWINE. Editor Tribune: In the February 11th Issue of the Fargo Morning Call it is stated that the Minnesota board of control made a cut in the price of binder twine, which took place on the 10th of February, and they stated that this 6hould be an inducement for the North Dakota management to do like wise. I wish to call to the attention of the public the fact that on the 4th of February the hoard of trus tees of this institution established the following prices for binder twine in carload lots: Six hundred and fifty-foot, pure manila, 9%c per pound 600-foot ma nila, 8%c per pound 550-foot, stand ard manila, 7*4c per pound 500-foot, standard, 7c per pound Nov. 1st terms. It would seem from this that the Minnesota board of control was fol lowing in the footsteps of the North Dakota hoard of trustees, and were making their prices in accordance with prices established by the trus tees of the North Dakota penitentiary. A discount of one-fourth of one cent per pound Is allowed from the above quoted prices for cash received oh or before August 10th, on all orders for 20,000 pounds or more, which would make the North Dakota cash prices for twine: ,••'."• Six hundred and fifty-foot, pure manila, 9%c per pound 600-foot, ma nila, 8%c per pound 550-foot, stand ard manila, 7%c per pound 500-foot, standard, 6%c per pound f. o. b. Bis marck, N. D. Compare with Minnesota prices: Six hundred and* fifty-foot, Dure manila, 9%e per pound 600-foot, ma? nila, 8%c per pound 550-foot, stand* ard manila, 7%c per pound 500-foot standard, 6%c per pound f. o. b.-Still water, Minn. In view of the fact that the freight on binder twine from Stillwater to Bismarck is 49 cents per hundred pounds, it will therefore be apparent that the twine sold toy the North Da kota penitentiary will cost the farm- Wc^th DakOU ahbTjt cent less than the price they would have to pay for Minnesota twine.
