_PAGE TWO CESSATION OF 2A, C. Townley Says that “N ther Side Has Strength to Control Ruthlessly st NELSON SEES ECONOMY Fargo, N. D., Dec. 23.—Advocating ¢lose cooperation and a cessation of partisan rule, A. C. Townley, former president of the Nonpartisan League, “in a statement to The Associated Press today asserted that the con- trol’ of both houses of the legislature was close and “neither side of the political alignment which has’ beea so closely drawn in North Dakota has ‘sufficient strength to ride ruthlessly over the opposition.” * It is Mr. Townley’s belief that the legislators realize that “conditions are abnormal” and that they will . approach the work of the session with cool determination to transact the necessary business, exercise the strictest economy; provide the nec- essary appropriations and adjourn.” “Jt is therefore the-part of good, sound, sober judgment to lay aside all bitterness, avoid an acrimonious fight for speakership in the house, organize both branches giving both sides. fair representation and make an earnest endeavor to reach an amicable settlement regarding the business to be done,” the statement continued, “The big part of the farmers, pro- gram,” says Mr. Townley, “the State Mill and Elevator, is now a going oncern. Both of the factions n North Dakota are — peldged *“o make it a success, This requires zo-operation, Therefore let us haye real cooperation, and discountenance _ any attempt to engender bitter fac- sionalism at the coming legislative iession.” LEMKE DISAGREES Fargo, N, D., Dec. 22.—Williain semke, in a statement today, took a stand directly opposite from that of A. C. Townley. He asserted that there was a plot on to do away with the industrial commission laws, and -he declared that it was the duty of the farmers and their representa- ‘tives to conduct a big fight to pre- sent such action in the legislature. PREDICTS ECONOMY Fargo, N. D., Dec. 23.—Prediction that the legislators and state offi- vials of North Dakota are going to vdo their utmost to curtail unneces- Sary appropriations and revert to strictest economy, is made in a ‘statement made public today by .Theodore G. Nelson, secretary ot the Independent Voters Association Many of the legislators are pion- eers and had to deny themselves many comforts in order to provide for themselves and their dependents the barest necessities and as Yai conveniences as possible. Mr. Nelson sbelieves that thd legislators will deal with state affairs on the sane ~pasis as they dealt with their own. “According to Mr. Nelson there are a great number of appropriations that Swe really need that will have to be set aside for better times. The argu- =ments for the various kinds of ap- ~propriations will be, of‘course, very sintense, but the legislators will have =to hold their ground for a more rigid economy than ever before, says Mr. =Nelson. Referring to lowering of taxes Mr. “Nelson continued: “Because of this temper of the legislators, there is ~every reason to believe that there =:would be a very noticeable lowering of taxes were it not for the big losses that will have to be made good because of the bungling mismanage- yment of the old administration and “because of the interests that will have to be paid on the bonds that chave been issued fon various pur- poses including the Mill and Eleva- Stor project at Grand Forks.

'| AT THE MOVIES | | CAPITOL. ; George Beban comes to the Capitol theater beginning Monday in “The | Sign of the Rose.” Always noted for ‘his remarkably fine portrayals of. Italian types, the star has also gain- ed ng small measure of screen fame from his sympathetic understanding of children and their irresistable ap- peal in his motion pictures. In his latest offering this is strongly in evidence. In fact, in choosing Dor- othy Giraci for the important role of [his daughter in “The Sign ‘of the | Rose.” “ Beban has placed opposite himself a little star who for ali her tender twinkles with disturbing bril- lliance. On her brilliance would be disturbing to any star loving chil- {dren less than Beban does. With |him it is a joy to discover just the child suited to a role and to roach tirelessly until the youthfal actor becomes a clever artist. Between the two Beban and the little Giraci, one of the most delicate and haunting scenes of the drama has been created. In the character | | { = = | Lucas Block. *: Lady PHONE 738 -» Chas.

Appearances and talks were made before the Minot Rotary club and Association of Commerce and before the Rotary club of Jamestown. The general feeling is reported to be that the association’s program will have a tendency to reduce the tax burden by placing the improve- ment of state highways wholly in the hands ‘of the State and by reimburs- ing counties for the money already invested in state work. The road financing problem will thus be large- ly shifted from general taxes to the auto owners and road users.
