Hon. H. A. Bronson, of Grand Forks, Chairman of the Committee on Uniform State Laws, submits the following current item concerning the work of that committee:

“Hon. Sveinbjorn Johnson, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, has been appointed by Governor Sorlie as Commissioner from North Dakota to the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which will be held at Detroit, Mich., on August 26th to September 1st, 1925, just preceding the annual meeting of the American Bar Association. The mid-winter meeting of the Committee appointed by the Conference was held in Chicago on February 26th and 27th, 1925. This meeting was attended by Commissioner Bronson, Chairman of the CommitteCommittee [sic] on Education and Publicity. Some of the important legal subjects now under consideration by these Committees comprise the Uniform Mortgage Act, the Uniform Arbitration Act, the Uniform Pistol and Revolver Act, and the Uniform Incorporation Act.” These, it appears are to be submitted to the August Conference.

Chairman H. F. Horner, of Fargo, advises that the Committee or Section on Law Enforcement is completing arrangements for a campaign of education in the High Schools of the State.

Present plans are to draft members of the Bar Association to deliver two addresses in each High School before the close of the present school year, the students to participate in the arrangement of the programs and to introduce the speakers. It is also proposed to invite parents and friends to attend the programs. The first address is contemplated to cover the necessity for laws and the reasons why laws should be obeyed; the second is to deal with the same general subject and to present a plan for the better co-operation of citizens generally with officers to secure better law enforcement. The plans further include the formation of a law and order organization among High School students.

The Section on Law Enforcement undertakes to supervise the work throughout the State, and will select a lawyer in each county to carry out these plans.
