FIX DOLLAR AS BASIS IN WORLD RATES FOR MAIL \ Sweeping Changes’ in Present Postal Regulations Are Urged in Report TO FIX MAXIMUM RATES) Madrid, Oct. Changes of sweep- ing importance in the postal relations of the world will. be effected as a r sult of the deliberations of the Inter- national Postal Union congress during the last week. Several committees | dealing with various subjects already have drafted their reports, which must be submittted to the full general com- committee in’ most, cases’ fairly repre- sent the views of the entire body of delegates, their reports. are virtually certain of acceptance. The notable items on which the com- mittees reported favorably are: On Gold Dollar Basis 1—Establishment of international payments for the transportation of; mails on a gold dollar basis. 2.—The fixing of an increased maxi- mum rate for postage on international mail, but with thé ‘proviso that the United States and other countries may retain the present rates or fix their rates according to their own \ideas, as long as they do not exceed the maximum accepted b? the union. 3.4In future congresses only par- ent cbuntries will have voting power, colonies being excluded from voting, | although they may send delegates. 4.—Creation of a Pan-American pos-} tal union. . Money Transition There was a long discussion over! the question of payment for the tran- 3it of mails, owing to the extreme variation in money values in European; countries since the war. But all thi delegates eventually agreed that some firm basis must’ be chosen and the gold dollar was adopted as the most; stable. The eastern’ and western hemi- spheres were sharply divided on the) question of an increase in internation- al postal rates, the Americas opposing augmentation on the grougd that such, a measure was calculated to injure commercial interests greatly and was unnecessary for revenue purpose: } The new maximum rate had not yet | been fixed by the committee having the | matter in hand, but the United States | nd the Latin-American countries de- | Glared they would not agree to an in-| crease. The committee, seeing thejr| firm stand, finally accepted the posi-| tion that the western hemisphere could fix its own rates, if they did not exceed the maximum eventually adppt- ed by the union. The question of vot-j ing power for colonies was hotly in| bated, Germany joining the Latin- Americans. — ssf oo More than half of the employes of the Waltham watch factory are wom- en, theit-small and agile hands Leng especially adapted to the delicate) work required. “CLOTHES FAILED TO _MATCH; COP NABS HIM | PORTLAND, Ore. — If your overcoat: is better than your suit and hat, watch your step in this town!

In 1916 there were 40,446 automo- biles and motor trucks registered. This increased to 62,993 in 1917, to 71,687 in 1918, 82,885 in 1919 and in the first six months of 1920, 91,545} vehicles were registered. This is about one motor vehicle to efch eight persons in the state. Z | HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS CIGARET SMOKERS? || = HUNTINGTON, W. V.—Mrs. A. H. Davidson, president of the . C. T.

CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS BY STATE URGED Highway Engineer Would Enter Into Building on Large / Scale nee BUY MATERIALS ALS Increased, Auto Fees and In- ‘creased Salaries Also Are Urged Increased appropriations for th state highway department, a fund to enable the state to enter into actual construction work on a large scale. the purchase and resale to contractors by the state of cement, steel, timber and other materials, a bond issue for state highway construction and the use of convict labor by the state high- way~commission in the maintenance and manufacturing work are recom- mended by W. H. Robinson, state .en- gineer, in his report'to Governor Fra- zier. A t Great stress is laid in the volumi- nous report on the recommendations for increased. salaries and an in- creased budget. for the department. Among the recommendations are: 81. An adequate budget, traveling ex- pense fund and funds with which to publish a bulletin regularly. 2. Expansion of the principle: of state aid and providing larger state aid fund to enable counties to\ secure’ state and federal aid on highway pro- jects up to 75 per cent of the cost of construction. 3. Construction and maintenance of the entire state highway system, at present 5,000 miles. by use of state funds alone without using county money. Double Auto Fees! 4. In addition to a bond issue rais- ing funds, it is suggested that the present automobile registration fees be doubled. “5. Require drivers of automobiles to be licensed and prohibiting persons under 16 years ofage from driving on public thoroughfares. F 6. Prohibit the working out of poll taxes and making the contract system compulsory. 7. Make convict labor available for use by the state hi;;hway commission for such work as maintaining the new Missouri river bridge, making con- crete pipe culverts, sign boards, etc., using jail inmates for road work in towns: and counties. The report points out that millions of dollars, which must be matched by the state, will be available from the federal government ‘for road work. On June 30, 1920, it states the total fed- eral’ aid road work constructed or under contract was $1,782,007.40, the total mileage 605.61, and the average ‘cost per mile $2,942.50. There is in prospect federal aid to the amount of $8,500,000 if the state matches the amount, it is stated. Refers to Criticis The reports refers to what it says is “considerable criticism” directed against the highway department on the cost of engineering. It shows that in 1917 the cost for preliminary surveying per mile was $26.49, and of. preparing plans, $29.72 per mile. In 1920 the cost had advanced to about $45 per mile for surveying andi $65 per mile for making plans. The report defends the increased cost, and assists it is relatively low. “In the matter of supervision and inspection':of construction, cism is to be directed against the department, it is to be on the ground that inadequate inspection, both as to quality and number of inspectors, en- gineers, etc., has been provided, rath- er than that it cost too much,” says the report. ‘ Advocating the taking over of the maintenance of the designated state highways, and regarding the present maintenance work the report says: “It is a foregone conclusion, at this time at least, that a patrol system is doomed to unsatisfactory results gen- erally. Farmers cannot be relied upon to drag at the proper time,” adding that the proper time is when farm work is probably more import- ant than road Reg: Regarding says: “The possibilities in western Norti Dakota for irrigation on an extensiv2 scale are very limited indeed. There are, however, numerous opportunities for small projects along most of the streams. Occasionally where the to ographical features are favorable for easily constructing reservoirs the spring runoff from coulees and other small water courses may be stored for use on limited tracts. It is be- lieved that these small projects,should be encouraged and all assistance pos- sible rendered.” Quoting a law in existence in South Dakota, the state engineer urges that legislation be enacted to control the flow of artesian wells, saying the wa- ter supply furnished by Ddota sand- stone and allied water bearing stratas is being rapidly depleted and that + great deal of water is wasted. Although there are ninety-eight em- ployes in the department, a number more in the motor vehiclesregistra- tion department, it is stated the force is inadequate. Among other things, the engineer urges the authorization of the appoint- ment of a truck master and assist- Higher salaries are urged, and the report states that these should no! be prescribed, except for the execu- ‘(Continued on Page Seven) Trrigation ation the: report . if criti-, NEW ORDER FOR MORLD AFFAIRS HARDING BELIBF Senator Outlines His’ Yiews in Important Statement Deliv- ered in Marion i | SWINGS OUT OF STATE} Candidate Leaves Front Porch for Fourth Speech-Making Trip Outside Ohio Marion, 0., Oct. 12—After an im- portant statement delivered yesterday afternoon in which he declared the old order of world affairs was ended, Sen- ator Warren G. Harding, Republican nominee for the presjdency, was .o leave this afternoon on his fourth| speech-making trip outside of Ohio.} His circuit will carry him through Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, and will wind up Saturday night at St. Louis. It may be his last trip away from home during the campaign. Senator Harding said in his state-! ment here that America must play its part in aiding formation of an asso- ciation of nations “that will discour- age or tend to prevent war, and that | will encourage or tend to encourage a better understanding.” Such an association. he said could be formed without sacrifice of Amer- ican sovereignty or impairment of| the American constitution, Explaining why’ he restated his proposal in a statement, the senatov said that while he was unalterably opposed ‘to going into the league of ,nations as that particular proposi- tion stands, “he wanted the people to understand also my thought of co-operation.” The senator's statement said: “It seems to me that there should not remain a shadow of a doubt as to my exact position as regards the proposed league of nations as drafted and submitted to the senate and as regards the great world sentiment for a better understanding among nations to discourage war and gen- erally to advance civilizatjon. Let me restate my position as explicitly as my powen of words permits: “First —I (am unalterably opposed to, going into’ the. league of nations as that particular proposition stands. That proposal is contemplatuous of and potentially destructive of the American constitution. It is not fa- vored by the American people. “Second—I am in favor of a world association that will discourage or tend to prevent war and that will nd to encourage a ding among the na- understa better tions of the earth. The old order of things is done’ with not only in America, but throughout the world, and the United States, always quick with sympathy, always just and usually led by common sense, must play its part in this new order. . Preserve Constitution ‘«Third—I believe such an associa- tion can be formulated without wrecking the constitution that re- mains the cornerstone of our liber- ties and of our happiness; without seizing or filching the sovereignty that is our pride and our inspiration to fine living and good works. “Fourth—I earnestly believe that the conscience, the ready sympathy, the senge of justice and the plain, common sense of the United States can be depended upon by the rest of the world, and that it would be stupfd as well as unlawful to at- tempt to chain our sympathies, our sense of justice and our common sense, to tie these strong, fine, de- pendable American qualities to the possibly selfish ambition and aims of foreign nations or groups of na- tions whose ideals aré\1ot the ‘same } ag ours, never have iéerand never | will be. “Fifth—It is my purpose when elected, to take the whole people into my confidence as regards these mat- ters, to seek their advice and more} importantly to act, constantly with | their ddvice; and to this end it will! hbe.my pleasure as well as my duty to call into conference with me the best minds, tha clearest minds, that America affords. I thank God that the time has come when I can ask the advice of American women and especially the mothers of America.” wee Iver $30,000 of Profits is Money by Switch of Deposits How the Bank of North Dakota; makes “profits” is shown in fig- ures compiled here on deposits in the bank by the state treasurer. The average monthly balance of the state treasurer in the Bank of North Dakota from Sept. 30, 1919 to Aug. 31, 1920,-one year, was $3,230,023.22. Before the Bank of North Da- kota came into existence the state received interest of 3 per cent or more from banks on this amount of money. The Bank of North Dakota pays 2 per cent and then deposits the money in other banks.

OF Harry Orton Believed to Have Despaired’ of Chances for ) Pardon WAS AN “HONOR” MAN Life in the penitentiary palled on Harry Orton, serving a life term for murder. So— He walked away. And he’s still going, it is supposed, for he has been absent from the prison about 48 hours amd hasn’t re- turned. J Orton came from Hansboro, Towner county, near the Canadian border, an‘1 had been in the prison since 1915. He was sentenced for murder. Orton was known as a model pris- oner, and rather competent. He has been an “honor” man for quite a time at the prison. He formerly worked putside on the farm. Later he was| put in charge of the chicken ranch, and ran it successfully. He formerly was a farmer. Later he was employ- ed in the office. As an “honor” man he was allow- ed privilege, and he walked out of the prison gates. It is believed by Warden Stair that he despaired of get-! ting a pardon. He had made inquiry} of the secretary of the pardon board, it is said, and found his chances were not bright. .
