NORTH DAKOTA SOCIALIZATION _PLANS UNDER REFERENDUM FIRE Sweeping Program of Non-Partisan League Is Attacked.— Complete Review of What Is Privided In New Laws..... (By United Press.) Bismarck, N. D., April 8.—The state soclalization program complet- ed by the last legislature, dominated by the Nonpartisan league, is under referendum fire. League leaders, some of them favor the referendum, insist today that the voters are back of the leagye program and the state referendum will approve all the acts that are essential to the nonpartisan plan. The referendum petitions were chiefly ciculated by the Independent Voters association of which Theo- dore Nelson is secretary. Nelson has charged that the Nonpartisan leaguers have asked their members not to sign these petitions. This in turn is depied. The battle between the league and its foes is raging as bitterly as during the last election. The chief measures involved in the referendum petitions are: Creation of a state industrial com- mission, with authority over the handling of a $10,000,000 bond issue for farm loans. Creation of the state bank of North Dakota. Creation of a state terminal elgva- tor and flour mill project, with “$6, 000,000 capital. The entire Nonpartisan league program centers in these three mea- sures. The industrial commission— with departments now under organ- jzation—is composed of Governor Lynn J. Frazier, Attorney General William Langar, and Agricultural and Labor Commissioner John N. Hagan. éore power for state development ig held by this commission than was ever before allotted to any political body in the "history of the country. Al] three members of the commission are alective and subject to recall. They will conduct and manage, all state-owned industries, enterprises and business projects, now or here- after established by law. They make rules and regulations for all state industries, appoint all employes, fix their bonds and salaries. Already the basic institution of all state-owned and. operated . institu- tions is under organization by the commisston—the state-owned and operated bank. ~It- will become a center for all banking interests of the state, repository for all public funds, flscal agent for all state en- terprises, may be reserve agent for 700 ‘State banks, and is capitalized for $2,000,000, provided by a state bond issue. Its resources will, it is estimated, range from $765,000,000 to $150,000,000. Through the bank will be conduct- ed the state's new farm loan asso- ciation—=financed by a $10,000,000 bond issue. There's a $10,000 loan 1imit for establishing farm homes and a $5,000 loan limit for building city. homes under the home bullding association provisions. <. Prébably the next big step of the industrial commission will be organ- igation and construction .of state- owned and operatéd elevators and flour mills. - They can be “erected, not only within the state, but at any point the commission thinks a ter- minal elevator is necessary to the interests of the farmers. To Finance Proieots. To finance these projects, a bill wag passed authorizing the issuance of $17,000,000 worth of bonds. The aythorization was divided to give $10,000,000 for rural credits financ- ing; $2,000,000 for the state bank and $5,000,000 for mills and eleva- tors. The bonds must be retired with- in 30 years. Payment of the interest and Income on the $17,000,000 au- thorlzations s guaranteed through provision for an annual tax levy to make up any deflcit in the earnings of the utilities which they are to finance. An interest and sinking = fund of $1,100,000 per annum will be required to retire the bonds in 30 vears, The state mill and elevator admin- istration wil] pot be limited to opera- tion of mills and elevators, but may establish other marketing facilities for farm products. Not more than $1,000,000 of the $5,000,000 author- izatjon is expected to be launched this year, nonpartisan leaders say, “but within a few years if things go well with the project, the state will have the biggest commercial and producing organizations in the world.” Taxation measures passed by the legislature, some of -them more ex- tensive thapn. any in existénce in other states, included an income tax, to yield $1,000,000 per annum; a corporation excise tax, expected to earn $200,000; a gross sales ofl tax, estimated to be worth $450,000 a year; revised inheritance tax law, expected to bring in $100,000 addi- tional annually; a moneys and cred- its tax, estimated good for $60,000; revised motor vehicle tax, worth .$480,000; a flat tax of 3 cents per acre for a state hail insurance fund, good for $900,000, and a sinking and interest fund for retirement of state bonds. Property valuations on all classes were boosted over a quarter of a billion dollars, but the levy for state purposes was not changed. Abolish State Board. Regulatory measures of the legis- lature brought about abolition of the state board of control, state board of regents and board of education, but grouped all these departments under one commission, to be made up of five persons, three appointed by the governor. The boedy would con- trol all public schools as well as penal and charitable institutions. The bill did everything but eliminate the office of state superintendent of education—the only major office the Nonpartisan league did not capture at the November elections. It is held by & woman—Miss Minnie J. Neil- son. Among the labor measures passed was. an act creating state adminis- tered conpensation insurance; coal mine inspection and regulations; full crew bill; minimum wage for women and 8.hour day for women workers. A number of enforcement acts in- cluding prohibition and licensing amusement places; establishing a bureau of weights and measures; prohibiting discrimination in the sale of commodities; regulating slaughter and sale of food animals; regulating construction of theatres and public halls; regulating manner of voting at general elections and others were passed. One of the bills attacked by the referendum petitioners is the act al- lowing the state printer to select one newspaper in each county for publi- cation of official and legal printing. The Nonpartisan league owns a large number of newspapers throughout the state. s NEED GIRL LINGUISTS Are Very Much in Demand at Peace Meeting. Women Who Know Several Languages Can Demand Thelr Own i Terms. London.—The woman who knows other languages besides her own Is reaping a rich harvest now and she 1s likely to become more valuable as time goes on, not only to herself, but to her country. For months before the peace confer- ence in Parls, the British government searched through the thousands of women and girls employed in different departments, finding out those who could speak and write French fluent- 1y, those who were able to translate one tongue Into the other idfomatical- 1y, using the words which have come Into currency in the last few years in both. As the English are not a na- tion of lingulsts there was not a great harvest, but those who had tongues in their heads are recelving their reward in generous proportion. The chief members of ¢he Dritish and American delegations have confi- dential woman secretaries, who have been chosen as ludividuals because they ‘had -special qualifications; those who are ‘able to spenk three or four languages—English, French, Ttallan, German and Russlap—are so much In demand that they can command thelr own terms. Incldentally they stand to be killed with overwork during the next six months. But of course, just being a linguist is not enough In these days of delicate international relations. In order to be of any use to their chiefs these wom- en have got to be Anglo-Saxon bred, and must be right up to the minute in questions of the day In their own coun- tries. And they must have one other gift which every day is proving more and more valuable; they have got to possess political instinct, which it has lately been proved a great many wom- en do possess in even larger propor- tion than men. MOTHER'S BIBLE SAVED LIFE - Waukegan Soldier Says Book Deflect. ed Bullet That Hit Him, Waukegan, IlL.—A little green Bible, which was given him by his mother, Mrs. Enoch Paln, when le went to war, and which he carrled in the right-hand pocket of his vest, saved the life of Corporal William Palm of this city, who returned home from overseas with two wound stripes and n serles of storles about his adven- tures In the Argonne woods. “The. shells were coming over real lively,” declared Corporal Palm, {n re- Iating his narrow escape, “and I was hunting for a nice comfortable shell hole. I spled one and saw a dead soldler in it. It is regarded as bad luck to refuge in a shell hole where there are dead, so I looked further. Just as I leaned over to peep into an- other one, a bullet struck me. It plowed through the book and explod- ed. While it wounded me, the book had deflected it so it did not pene- trate far. The fact that I leaned over Just at the right moment and the presence of the book saved me from getting a place beneath the dalsies.” BULGARIA'S WAR DEBT HUGE Total Indebtedness Nearly Equal to Entire Wealth “Soaked” by Germany. Sofla, Bulgarla.—Bulgarla is facing e financlal crisis, it is asserted. The war cost the country more than $1,- 500,000,000, while Its estimated wealth Is only $2,200,000,000. The national debt before the war was $160,000,000. Of the nationni debt as it now stands Bulgaria owes to Germany $6060,000,000, which was advanced in $10,000,000 installments, but last win- ter Germany discontinned thls prac- tice and demanded paywent for muni- tions In eash. Cermany. evidently, was not in the business of helping its allies for nothing, as (he prices clear- ly Indlcate. For each mask it charged $16 and a sheepskin, as co.pared with the cost of a similar the United States army in L. $4.50. Financial experts agree thar the solvency of the country can only be preserved by the presentation of coun- terclalms ggalpst Germanv. e THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER | WANT AD DEPT.
