The greatest ¢hange proposed —and come No bills incorporating the changes have the legislature upon the changes in) by Governoy Nestos is expected to yet been introduced, | d it is understood that careful pre- the measure on which the test may is that providing for non-political boards of management for the enterprises, particularly the Grand Forks Mill and Elevator Projects. Those favot y Austin, nd Forks project. $9,000,000 a year would be in making it a success, Mr, of polities. and adequate capital. ‘A number of Nonpartisans plan, until who reéehtly assumed leaders through the ent such a condition. Enters Third Week ure entered its third sek today with a generally harmon- ious attitudto ntact. Neither Inde- pendents nornNonpartisans are seek- ing to take the aggressive in any political fights. the one hand the majority af Independents—a majority except in the case of industrial laws requiring a two-thirds vote for amendment—declare the chief ques- tions involved are matters of busi- ness conduct, and that, therefore, there is no ground for political fight. On the other, the Nonpartisans have assumed a “watchful waiting” atti- tude—they will not shoot until they ey are shot at. tion, appropriatidns and the indus 1 enterprises are forming the cruk of the present indefinitely defined legislative program. There is more likelihood of con- siderable change in taxation laws at this session than at any time since the drastic Roylance laws were put into effect. An increase in the in- come tax offers a way for reducing the direct taxation upon land and, other property. y The budget board’s report will, it is understood, request appropriations in excess of the appropriation bill passed two years ago. But while members of this board, composed of representatives of both major poli- tical factions, believe that they have held appropriations as low as they safely can, there is no certainty that the legislative will not slash them more. For the temper of many of the members is that of the recently formed taxpayers association—and they want to slash agricultural ex-| tension work, supervisory work, many branches of educational work, and have their axe out for all appro- priations which they believe are not necessary to the maintenance of the government and institutions. Seek Adequate Capital When the industrial program bills go before committee, it is expected that pressure will be brought to bear | to recommend an adequate working capital for the state milling enter- | prise. The method of providing—j whether by taxation or by taking funds deposited in the Bank of North Dakota or providing for the deposit | of additional funds there, promises to be the biggest problem to be solved, Q With the house agreeing on a pro- gram which would prevent final ac- tion being taken on important mat- ters during three days of this week, in order to permit members to at- tend the Tri-State Grain Growers convention in Fargo, there was pros- pect for a light session in that body. There also was little chance of any really important matters of policy being settled in either house during the week, Among the. bills to be introduced which will hark back to the strenu- ous session of two years ago, will be one providing for payment of ex- penses of the house investigating committee. Attorneys and stenogra- phers were not paid. There is also probability of im- portant changes ‘being sought in the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Pro- posals frequently made in the past that either the state insurance fea- ture be abolished or that the em- ployer be allowed to insure either with the state or with private firms, may be renewed. There does not now appear to be any probability of important ‘legislation affecting the eght hour day for women of the minimum wage. Mine Law Proposal The present law requiring miners to have a year’s experience before working in North Rakota mines has -been the subject of criticism in the past, and an effort to have it repeal- ed may be made, It is alleged by those opposing the law that close ap- plication would prevent farmers from realizing considerable money by working in strip\ mines: of the state during the fall and winter. While the run of bills thus far hi been light, it is more than probable that within the next week there will be scores of bills embracing chiefly demands for repeal’ or change of some condition of the law held to be onerous. 5 “Dry” Bill The le Ready Among the bills to be introduced |. in, the house today was one by Reps.

Of a million barrels of flour manufactured at full capacity perhaps 500,000 barrels now is of the quality used in North Dakota, he said. He added that it was possible the state could use all of the flour made there. “This territory—the hard spring wheat Northwest territory—is the eee from port.” TO BE TOLD IN BISMARCK i Whole Subject of Child Wel-| fare Will be Discussed by ~ Lodge Expert Everyone interested in child wel-| fare is urged by local Yeomen to at- tend a meeting tomorrow night at the ‘Rialto theater at which Alexan- der Anderson, assistant supervisor | of the Chidren’s Home Department | of the Yeomth lodge, will. speak, Mr. Anderson comes to Bismarck | both ‘to consider the city at a pos- sible site for the children’s home; which the Brotherhood of American | project and the genera’. subject of | child welfare.

LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS OCCUPATION OF FRENCH IS MORE COMPLETE Refusal of Germany to C operate in Coal Deliveries Is Reason Given TAKE BIG FACTORIEt Drastic Action by Invaders Is Expected Because of Attitude (By the Associated Press) Berlin, Jan, 15.—The German coal commission has prohibited the coal owners of the Ruhr from supplying {coal or coke to France or Belgium even if payment is made for the fuel. This stiffening attitude ‘by the German government is expected to precipitate drastic action by the French government. In consequence of the destruction of two French placards in the streets of Essen the French commander has ordered a German police guard for day and night. The commander has given yotice that if the offense is repeated and negligence by the police is proved the police will be severely punished. TIGHTEN RING. en, German, Jan. 15.—Because of a change of front by the coal magnates and the repudiation of | their agreement to resume coal, de- liveries, the French today teinforced the occupation movement. Troops and tanks were moved up from the old zone and the ring around Essen was tightened. There was a half hour’s stoppage of work in this big industrial city today as a protest against the French occupation. While it was in progress a crowd carried out an anti-French demonstration outside French head- quarters with speeches and somge,, STINNES DISTRICT TAKEN. Bochum, Germany, Jan, 15.—This city, the heart of the great Stinnes | steel works, was occupied by the French today. The occupation of Gelsenkirchen, has been completed. _ ORDER RESISTANCE. Paris, Jan. 15.—The German gov- | ernment, says a Havas dispatch from Essen this afternoon, has sent in- structions to the German industrials not to co-operate with France in de- liveries of coal. To Be Declared in Default Paris, Jan, 15.—It seemed certain | today that Germany would be de- clared in default for her 1923 de- | liveries of a merchandise at a meet- jing of the reparations commission | tomorrow. EXTEND ZONE Duesseldorg, Jan. 15. — France’ answer to the German mine owne refusal to deliver coal on any ter: | was to extend the zone of occupatic originally intended to cover the B: chum region. The new line established by Ger Degoutte’s forces is from 15 to 2 kilometers further eastward, comin; to the edge of the great industria city of Dortmund. RUPTURE COMPLETE London, Jan, 15.—The rupture be- tween the Franco-Belgian commis- * sion of control in Essen and thé Germans industrialists was complete, | says a dispatch to the Evening News from Essen today. Military penalties more severe and extensive than those contemplated yesterday are now being put into effect, it adds, and the advance inte Germany has centered upon even a graver stage. WORK CEASES Berlin, Jan, 15,—Reporting the ar- rival ofthe French at Belgium the Locale Anzeiger ‘says all work im- mdiately ceased and excitement pre- vailed.

The extension of the French con- trol to Bochum is intended as a pen- alty.
