/ J “Mystéripds Influence at Work in! Favor of Legislation Appears CREDITS BILL, KILLED An effort made by Senator McLean, chairman of the railroad committee, to give Rate Expert James A little | of the. state \railroad commission’ an opportunity to be heard by the sen- ate in executive sessiqn on House Bill 298, establishing new class and com- modity rates which, it 1s said, would concentrate the jobbing bus of ithe state in Grand Forks, Fa 50 and ‘other border towns, to the detriment of New Rockford, Minot, Jamestown, Bismarck-Mandan, — Dickinson and similar growing wholesale centers, was frustrated Wednesday afternoon by league senators, who insisted that no hearing be held unless the author Of the bill, Dupuis of McHenry, and all members of the large lobby which has been maintained at the capital in favor of this bill, be heard at the same time.’ This proposal involved the sen- ate in an acrimonious discussion, which ended with making House Bill 298 a special order for 3 o'clock this afternoon, when the issues finally will bé-fought out. A notable feature of one of the railroad corporations have shown any interest in it. Their attitude was expressed by a general freight agent this week: We should worry.” House Rejects Rural Credits ‘Among forty ‘senate bills which the House has indefinitely postponed, and ‘which were returned to the senate Wednesday, was Senate Bill 4, provid- ing for the establishment of a state system of rural credits, in accord- ance with the will of the people as expressed at the last general election. This measure was among the first to pass the senate and among the first senate bills to be rejected by the house. The senate reciprocated by return- Ing to the house thirty-seven house || stitutional ; in ithe Senate was the passage of Honse Bill 165, — jempowering the board of university | . a and school Jands to’ double the pres- (OUSE ‘RETURNS RURAL ent maximum which may be invest- 298 is that} ly aye to 24 nay, and the majority ort for indefinite” postponement ,) was adopted, 25 to 20.

IAPAN -BALKS AT BIG LOAN ‘Tokio, March 1.—Because the Japan- ese bunkers have made the unusual de- mand that they be given security, Jupan may have to refuse the request | of her.ally, Russia, for a new loan of; $100,000,000. Should Japan make this loun, it would be the largest ever float- ed in this country. Russia proposed the issue to the Jap- anese government, which acquainted the bankers with Russia's overtures. as Russia intended spending the’mon- munitions and other, products Durchaged in this country, the proposi- tion met with the approval of the gov- ernment. Japan has the money to make the luan’ and its success seemed assured until the ‘Tokio bankers made their [DANCING STAR MAY. bills which had lost out in the senate. Among house bills indefinitely post- ned. was No. 146, appropriating $15,- i ,{with which to finance an inyesti- fon of the terminal elevator, flour ny jand packing: plant propositions, demand for security. In view of her position as a first, class power atid a friend bound in alliance with Japan, | Russia believes such guarantee unnec- essary und beneath her dignity. Jap- anese financiers take the attitude, how- ever, that eonsidering the large amounts Russia has already borrowed here and the magnitude. of her latest proposal, some form of security should be yoftered: STARP BILL 1S. —_ CONSTITUTION G neral Langer today in- nate that H.

Operation today. In 1826 the Zoliverein, or customs union, had accomplished the econom- ie unity of all the German states, but had left Austria outside the pale. From 1840 to 1850 the German na- tion, however, was torn with dissen- sions, radical uprisings, popular clam- or for direct representation, and open revolution. ‘A radical national assembly met at Frankfort to form a national govern: ment ‘for all Germany, but ‘after end- legg, bickerings. a period ‘of reaction set in, which swamped the yational ;fasseribly and stifled reform. But' fn 1861' William the First ‘came to the throne, and Otto von Bismarck, a through-and-through Prussian ‘Tand- owner, ‘or junker, "became his. chief minister. ‘Bismarck declated: that the great questions of the age could not. be solved by wordy discussions in par- Nament, but only ‘by a’ policy of “blood and iron.” “PHe first'step he took to realize this policy was the unjustified assault of ‘Prussia and Austria’ upon Den- I h y= ‘5 e ro ¥ of Schleswig’ and Holstein were, torn from* Denmark.
