ROOM FOR ECONOMY. The Non-partisan league's efficiency and economy program will meet with very general approval. The state government too often has 'been creat ed a jpb making institution rather than an effective machine for the ad ministration of the people's public business. While North Dakota has been comparatively free from chair warmers, there are several instances in Which the consolidation or com bination of conflicting departments will save money and at the same time promote greater efficiency. Argument is a whetstone for Jthe knife of invention. THE ,NEW COUNTY SEAT. Now that Carsow has been fortun ate enough to win the much coveted county seat ship of Grant, the Tribune knows the good people of the new county well enough to predict that they will all pitch in with a will to aid Commissioners Thomson, McDow all and Wade in the difficult work which they have ahead of them. They are good fighters down there in Elgin, New Leipzig, T^eith and Brisbane, and a good fighter is always a good loser. If two years hence it shall prove that the county seat is not suit ably located, then will be time enough for a renewal of hostilities. In the meantime, it is the duty of everyone to Join forces, see to it that Grant receives all that is coming to it and that the list of county officers whom the commissioners are to appoint re ceive the support to whicli they -are entitled.

TO INVESTIGATE TERMINAL ELfcVATORS UNTIL SESSION: COMMISSION MUST OO SOME The North Dakota railroad commis sion, has a man-sized job ahead of it, providing the amendment repealing the mill tax for terminal elevators has carried, which semi-official re turns seem to indicate. This amend ment provides that the commission must investigate the location of a terminal elevator, the cost of build ing and obtaining sites, and submit a report of its findings to the next legis lature. The commission has had no authority to incur expenses for this purpose .prior to an official certifica tion from the secretary of state of the passage of the amendment. The board has little more than a month in which to look into this weighty proposition, make its findings .and "prepar** its re port to the Fifteenth legislative as sembly, hut the commission promises to "give the subject t^ earnest and conscientious investigation its im portance deserves." WANTS QUICK ACTION ON SUIT FDR $50,000 A6AINSTG0V. HANNA Receiver Michael Murphy of Me dina State Bank Asks that Date Be Advanced Michael Murphy, receiver for the de funct Medina bank, which he contends was wrecked by the failure of its stockholders to come to the rescue with cash at Hie psychological mo ment, wants quick action on his suit for $50,000 in which Governor L. B. Hanna, E. J. Weiser, president of the First Nationaf bnk of Fargo, and the last named bank are made defendants.
