The proposa: has been made and many have responded favorably, he said, and added that he would confer with them this evening. Whatever agreement is reached be: tween the association and the work- men will be put before the indus- trial commission, for approval. There «are several unfinished houses in Bismarck, and the persons for whom they are built desire to move into them as quickly as pos- sible. About 40 workmen are employ- ed on them, the pay-roll being about $3,500 a ‘week, it is said. Whether they will be asked to accept postpone- ment of their entire pay or only part is not stated. Same in Fargo The same proposition will be “put. to Fargo workmen, where about the same number are employed and mar. persons want to occupy their hou: yet this winter. The association is said to have on hand enough materials tc complete the program outlined and take care of most of next year’s so the postpone- ment of the pay-roll is the only neces- sary action to be taken to assure con tinuance of the work, it is said.

Announcement of the suspension was made here today by the national board of fire underwriters. It was explained that the state rev- enue agent contends that the allege violation of the anti-trust laws of Mis- sissippi subjects each company to # penalty of $5,000 a day since January 1, 1908, or an aggregate penalty of $2,000,000,000.

Vanderlip, who obtained a sixty year lease of’ the Kamchatka Peninsula from the Rugs ment for a Los Angeles syndicate, ex- pressed confidence, in a statement giv: en out here that the “trade contracts” with the Russian government he brought kk with him will “do more to restabilize the world than anything neace treaties or'the league of nations has been able to accomplish.” “Russia must have supplies and she wants to buy them from the United States rather than any other country because she considers this country is the only real friend she has in the world,” said Mr. Vanderlip, who re- turned to his home here. “These orders which I have receiv- ed have already, exerted tremendous prssure upon the governments of France and England. As soon as the news of them was given to the world, the British government assumed a more reasonable attitude in dealing with the Russian trade commission headed by Kameneff.” STATE BAR EXAM HERE DEC. 28, A state bar examination will be held at the statehouse here on Dec. 28, it announced by J.

L. Young of Bismarck, who was president of the constitutional convention when Norway declared its independence from Sweden. Thés is one of the three monuments erected to William Christie in Norway. Speaking of the representation at the Council of \Women, Mrs, Wheeler stated that United States sent the largest representation over the long- est distance, and was among those na- tions represented where every mem- ber of the party paid her own way; many nations sending their represent- atives paid all_expenses. i Among the reports of the different nations represented, Mrs. Wheeler was chiefly impressed with the report of the women representing British India; the report of the representa- tives from Jugo-Slavica, and that of {he women from Iceland. Each of these reports spoke of the progress their people had made in the bette ing ef conditions in their countri put deplored the local conditions making life a hardship for women. In Jugo-Slavica it was the curse of con- stant wars, and she asked every Wo- man within hearing to people the plea for pre rt erance from the wars destroying her country. In Iceland it was the liquor troubles, the representative stating that, while they had now the laws for enforcing prohivition, they were fac: ing all kinds and conditions of oppo- sition to the enforcement of the laws. She, too, asked for the prayers of the women of the nations for de- liverance of Iceland from this trial. Mrs. Wheeler stated that the reports of the French, Belgian, FE glish, Greek, and Italian women were in tensely interesting. U. S. Honored The United States, Mrs. Wheeler continued, had place of honor in oe f the Shorthing, where the grea fait of parliament was turned over to the meetings of the Council. The Council of Women had its deginning in the United States at the World's Fair, and from that meeting the wo men of many nations returned to their native lands and organized their coun- cils which resulted in the great repre | (Continued on Page Five) QR _ BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA.

They are: That the cities be permitted to levy a tax for advertising pur- pureSs That the cities be permitted to | levy a tux to he used by an asso- ciation of cities In contesting util- ity advances which affect: many citles. | The Bismarck Commercial club has issued a bulletin in which the pro- ; posal to ask the legislature for au- | thority for the levying of a tax for | city advertising purposes is outlined. } at is proposed that cities have power |to levy a tax not exceeding one mill j each year, to be kept in a special fund until the city is ready to use it “for the purpose of advertising the sity’s possibilities and advantages to the world as a home and as a location | for factories and other legitimate en- cerprises.” For Organization Use A further provision is made as fol- lows: “Provided, however, that in case there is sfich a body of citizens Jeganized as a Commercial club and incorporated under the laws of the j state for the purpose of developing |such city and protecting and ad- | vancing its interest, the governing body of such city may in its discre- ‘tion turn over such fund or any part jation for pay- ment of expenses incurred for adver- tising and publicity as aforesaid.” City Attorney O’Hare, when the bul- letin was read at the city commis- sion mteetting last night, advanced the second suggestion. Cites Telephone Case He said that in such a case as the ‘telephone rate case, which is now | pending before the state railroad com- iaken both here and at yolls ready for actio& by the city com-, mission, the telephone companies ask- jed increases covering practically all |of the large cities and towns of the state and toll taxes. The telephone companies doing a state business, pre- hsented their-case as applying tortheir ' pusiness as a whole and a single rep- | sesentative of a single city could not hope to match such testimony, he His jot with power to levy a tax, or to der’ advertising. This association coula contest such rates suits, employing experts to make investigation of the e as a whole, he said. Some of the members of the com- mission felt that the railroad com- mission ought to have experts to rep- resent the public, rather than merely sitting as a judicial body, but generally approved the idea for a body repre- senting all c to act-in all mat- ters in which cities as a clash are affected.

Employes will not be paid until the first of the month, as usual, it was said today at the office of the state auditor. Auditor Kositzky had sent word té the various departments to prepare vouchers for the December salary, it being the expectation that the usual Christmas plan of paying before would be followed. However, it was held by the auditing board that i* would be unwise to pay out the $40,- 000 monthly pay-roll before the end of the month, it was explained at the auditor's office.
