Teigen, Montediveo, organizer for the Nonpartisan league, was yesterday in- dicted by the federal grand jurv on charges of aiding the enemies of the United States by seditious utterances at various meetings conducted in Mc- Leod county. The specific evidence on which he was indicted was that among other things he offered to help drafed men to secure draft exemption in case other means failed. Teigen is the son of Representative A. F. Teigen of the Minnesota legisla- ture and has been prominent in the meetings sanctioned by the Nonparti- san league, and ostensibly in the in- terests of the league, at which many alleged disloyal utterances have heen made to cause disaffection among drafted men. He has spoken at doz- ens of these meetings, in various parts of the state, but particularly in Mc- Lend county. f. This indictment is the most import ant one handed down by the grand jury, which was to complete its work today, and is a direct blow, it was declare’. at the work of the Nonpar- tisan league organizers in efforts to influence citizens against the gov- ernment.

It is hoped to give Bismarck the best Evening Daily in North Dakota. For nearly forty years, The Tribune has stood squarely under the flag never wavering in its Americanism. It proposes to con- tinue to be 100 per cent American. The citizens and businessmen of Bismarck and Burleigh county as well as the entire Slope country have been kind and generous to The Tribune and the former ownership be- speaks the same hearty co-operation for the new proprietors. It will be the organ of no cult or clique, but be truely representative of the whole people; a fearless, independent newspaper. Mr, Mann. its editor, has directed the editorial policy of The Tribune for nearly four years. He has had fourteen years experience in daily newspaper work, serving at one time as City Editor and News Editor cf the St. Paul Dis- patch and later was financial News. Gditor of the St. Paul Daily The Tribune's manager, Mr. Weir, comes from a.family of newspaper people. For the past 22 years he has been con- rected with the business departments of some of the largest Eastern and Pacific Coast dailies. Mr, Weir came from the Detroit, Mich , Journal to Bis- marck to assume the adve-tising management of the Trib- une last May.

Governor Frazier then intimated, that the majority of the bonds must; be sold where the crops had been good. The administration also was represented by Attorney General Langer. | Governor Frazier gave the general impression that he would assist and that North Dakota would do its share. Based Upon Financial Ability. Mr. Bell in following explained that the allotments would ‘be based upon the ability of the farmers to invest. He stated that he realized there had been short crops in some sections, but bore down upon the necessity of all making some sacrifices so that ‘the boys who “go over the top” in “No Man’s Land” probably to death may be backed by American dollars. H. P. Goddard of Bismarck, presi- dent of the Commercial club, who di- rected the recent Red Cross cam- paign, has been selected to direct the from the shoulder. He said in part: “We can spend all we have to save our manhood and womanhood and then if we have these intact we can turn around and earn some more. Any- one who is not heart and soul in this matter is a “microbe,” as Roosevelt well said. Le a slacker. He has a streak of yellow in him. It was the ‘Master who said: “ ‘He who is not with me is against me.’ “We cannot,” he continued, “afford to be anything but patriotic. Anyone of you who were down to see the ‘troop train off this week, saw that there was not a frown on any of the boys faces. They all went out to duty with a smile on their faces. What is it that we are asked ‘to do? Merely invest in a gilt edge security. Merely loan our money to the govern- | ment that these boys shall be sustain- ed at the front. Goddard Hits From Shoulder. ‘I detest to hear the fellow say that we ought not to send troops abroad. Do they want the war fought over ‘here. Do they want the breast cut off of our women? Do they want the , Slaughter of the innocent repeated on American soil? “No! The time has passed to be half-hearted. We must give every cent if necessary to win this war or ‘else all is lost.” Mr. Goddard was applauded roundly ‘and the bankers and business men there showed by their sentiments that this loan is going to prove beyond per- adveature the intense patriotism and loyalty of every class of citizens in the state, whether they farm or toil in the city.

Continuing effects are observed of the hard blow struck Thursday by the British at the German lines in }land- ers. At some points, the Germans have been compelled to retire still! further than they were carried by; the ‘drive of the British. The posi-} tions they occupied were found too tly exposed to British artillery On the French front, north or Ver- dun, an attack north of Hill No. 344 last night, resulted in the Germans gaining a footing in the advanced French line from which they were shortly afterward driven.

Plan Taxing Utilities On Paying Power North Dakota Tax Commission Working Out New Schedule To Be Proposed BELL TELEPHONE CO. IS SAID TO BE IN FAVOR A recommendation that all public utilities in North Dakota be taxed on ddddddddd the gross earnings plan, using the California schedule, will be made by the North Dakota tax commission. | Chairman I. E. Packard now is work- ing out a basis for taxation founded on this plan, and by which every util- ity in the state would pay on its act- u ning power rather than on real or estimated physical valuation, good will, ete. The Bell Telephone Co. of Omaha, which, through the Northwestern Tel- ephone Co. now controls the great y of North Dakota's wire bus- seems to be heartily in sym- with the tax commission's pro- and it has had its tax expert Charles Hf. Hall, here in conference with Chairman Packard. The taxation of gross earnings prob- ably will not greatly alter the amount | of taxes paid by public utilities, but! it will simplify the method of arriv- ing at the taxes which they are to pay. In the case of the railways, a gr arnings tax may cut down their sessment from the amount levied this year. Minnesota, Connecticut, Kentucky and other states have adopted this plan, and the pudlic util- ities generally seem to favor it as more equitable than the old methods. In the case of the railways, the! amount of tax to be paid the state of North Dakota would be relatively high because operating expenses are comparatively low. For the railways, the California schedule would work out a tax rate of about six percent; on earnings. THE SECOND IS. NOT SURPRISE Organization to Failure ORGANIZATION DEFERRED UNTIL VERY LAST MOMENT Much as the smashing of the Smash-! ing Second may be regretted in offi- cial circles, the announcement did not come as a surprise. The Second regi- ment was organized by Governor fra- zier as a stepping stone to control of the state hoard of regents. Even after IN FLOOD OF ABUSE OPPOSES ADMINISTRATION Wisconsin Senator Ignores All Reference to St. Paul League Meeting VITRIOLIC DENUNCIATION OF ENTRY INTO STRUGGLE Says Wilson Should Allow Amer- icans Same Privilege as Accorded Germans CONDEMN LA FOLLETTE. Springfield, Ill., Oct. 6—A reso- lution condemning Senator La Folllette was unanimously adopt- ed by the Republican convention today. The republican president of the Club of ‘Massachusetts spoke in favor of the resolution saying “La Follette was a traitor to his country.” Washington, Oct. 6—Senator la Follette, whose expulsion from the senate has been considered, replied to his critics as to his course in the war today in a long and carefully pre- pared speech, He asserted that the “war party” besides carrying on, a campaign of libel and character as- sassination against members of con- gress who voted against the war was attempting to suppress discussion of war issues and intimidate the’ people themselves by invading their homes and unlawfully throwing them into jail. y Ignores League, ' The senator quoted at length from Mexican war speeches of Lincoln, Clay and Sumner, in support of his defense of his right as a member of congress to assail the policy of the government and dwelt at length upon the constitutional duty’ of congress rather than the president to proclaim the: naijon's purpose «in taking up arms, He made no reference to the inquiry ordered yesterday-by- the: sen- ate into his sfeech before the Non- partisan league at St. Paul and dealt with criticisms of himself only gener- ally. / ' i “Six members of: the Senate, and as I srecall, about fifty members of .the house, voted against the declara- tion of war,” he. said. “Immediately there’ was let loose upon those sen- ators and representatives a flood of abuse’ from newspapers and individu- als, who have ‘been clamoring for war. “Prior to the declaration of war, every man who had ventured to op- pose our entrance into it had been condemned as a coward or worse, and even the president had by no means been immune from these attacks. Since the declaration of war, the tri- umphant war party has persuaded those senators and representatives who voted against war with malicious falsehood and recklessly libelous at- tacks, going to the extreme limit of charging them with treason against their country. Individual Opinions. he had given his promise, he quietly slipped away from the capitol on the day appointed, and only at the last moment, aftér Governor Frazier had been located ‘by frantic long distance telephoning to his home at Hoople, whither he had proceeded by auto- mobile, was the arrangement made by which the governor's consent to the organization of a Second regiment was obtained. It was then so late that it was out of the question to think of organizing within the time originally specified. Governor Frazier had been aware of his authority to organize a second reg- iment from the close of the last legis- lative session, when he attached his signature to the new military bill pro- viding for two regiments in North! Dakota. It was only at the last mo- ment, howev ien friends pointed out cel n political advantages which might accrue from the organization of the new regiment that he gave the word, and ther st a time when there was much cuestion as to the ability jeneral Tharalson and tion over In spite of all the labor which had been expended on it, however, the and rying one or two officers whose commissions had so clearly come through political preferment rather than actual merit or experience that} there was not as good a feeling, throughout the whole organization as could have been asked. Where the Second Is. | The war department apparently never had any intention of letting the} Second gc through as a unit. Prepa- tions for smashing the regiment had As a result, upon their arrival at Camp Greene, Col. Frank White, Lieut. Col. T. H. Tharalson, and Majors Cc. E. Geary and J. M. Hanley, all veter-/ ans of {he war with Spain and the; Filipino campaign, found themselves | cludirg the Secon! regiment band of Harvey, and commanded by Capt. Henry T. Murphy of Bismarck, regi- mental adjutant, to the 65th depot brigaze. In the First battalion are Co. A. Minot, Capt. Lawon; B, New Rocktord, Capt. Wheeler; C, Rolla, “It is not claimed that the senators who opposed the declaration of war have since that time acted with any concerted purpose either regarding war measures or other purposes. They have voted according to their individ- ual opinions, have often ‘been opposed to each’ other on bills, -and according to my recollection have never als vot- ed together since that time upon any single proposition on which the sea- ate has been, divided. Throw Country Into Terror. It appears to be the purpose of those who oppose this campaign to throw the country into terror, to force public opinion, to stifle criticism and suppress discussion of the great is- sues involved in this war.” In support of his assertion that con- gress should speak for the country in declaring the war purposes, the sen- ator cited precedents at great length. It would be bad enough if the con- stitution clothed the president with any such power. But to exercise such power without constitutional authority cannot long be tolerated even if the forms of free government are to re- main. We know that the people would st if necessary with arms in their hands, any scheme to clothe the pres- ident with power to plunge this coun- try into war, and then to continue the war as long as he desired.” People Against War. Senator LaFollette said no couvic- tion was stronger with the people to- ‘day than that there should be no C2 ture wars, except in case of actual in- yasion unless supported by referen- dum. And he added, “because there is no clearness of understanding, no unity of opinion in this country on the part of the people as to the condition up- on which we are prosecuting this war, or what the specific objects are upon the attainment of which the present administration would be willing to prosecute a peace, it becomes more imperative each day that congress should assert its constitutional power 4,867 emporariiy v.ithoat commands. to define and declare the objects of a gain of Ae atten, ee this war which will afford the Dasis 1,179 |tainod intact Deine assigned, withthe! ont of permanent peace.
