V. A and tats Held Likely—A. C. Townley Drops in City | The Tidependent “program measures” will be tossed into | the legislative bill hoppers this week. Final touches are being put on the draft of bills affected the industrial enter- prises and election laws. At least one bill was expected to be introduced today, and more during the week. The program will not deviate much from the previously announced stand of Independents. With informal talks indi- cating to the majority leaders that there is likely to be Non- partisan opposition on most measures which would require | a two-thirds vote (this is required on all initiated measures). the Independents are ready to present their program, argue for it, and put it up to the legislature as a whole to take it or leave it. There does not appear any likeli hood of “deals” or “compromises” be- n the two actions in an effort to 2 common ground. Many is nd although public discus- the attitude has ben scart the first weeks of the session because of the hope of many for agreement, there is now a frankness among legislators as to what appears to be the real situation.

PURPOSE OF INCOME x Senate Bill No. 21, the proposed new state income tax) law, is large- ly designed to relieve the excessive burden on real property according to Lyman Baker, deputy: tax com- missioner. The rate of tax on the net income of corporations in the proposed law is the same as under the present law. The individua) rates are widely different, Under the present law, the in- come of individual is classified as earned or unearned income, Earned income includes all income received as wages, salaries; f@es and the profits derived from any business organized @ corporation. Unearn- ed income includes dividends on shares df stock, rents, interest on mortgages, es, bonds and other interest bearing securities. The rate of tax on unearned income is approximately double the rate on earned income, Under the present law, the tax department states that very few individuals have incomes. which can‘be classed as entirely un- earned, jority of large tax- proximately an equal amount of earned- and unearned in- gome, The’ proposed law makes ‘no distinction petecen so-called earned | or unearned income, Under proposed law, an indi- vidual having a net income above TO SHIFT BURDEN, IS CLAIM fadeaway and ¢lose-up.

On a $4,000 income under the pro- posed law, the tax amounts to $80.

Percy Stickney Grant was 26 years jold when he graduated in 1886 fror the Episcopal Theological school xt Boston, his home. Assigned to Fall River his ideas about running the church were somewhat different from {those of the vestry.

He came in | 1893, but only on condition that pews be free and that the church be open everv day—two revolutionary iden+ at that time, Chapter II. In New York Dr. Grant became known as the friend of the working {man. Jn 1907 he organized a publi- forum in the church. By 1919 he had had clashes with conservativ lin the vestry, who organized a com- | mittee to investigate his “teaching doctrine contrary to the doctrines of the church.” There was talk of . j heresy trial. Nothing came of it. \ Chapter III. Storms multiplied. He compared the deportation of Russian anarch- ists to the Pilgrims, their ship to the Mayflower. He attacked legisla- tive plans to curb radicals. Bishop Thomas F. Gailor called him“'a pam- pered pet of ugroup of rich men and | women who poses as a friend of the poor.” Grant shrugged his shou!- j ders and went on. Chapter iv. Talk came of putting him on trial in an ecclesiastical court for cele- brating communion improperly for i permitting laymen to speak at ri Yelous services, and for performing ithe marriage of a guilty divorcee But the case was dropped—with | rebuke and a warning for Dr. Gram Now came the time when he was to fight a personal fight—and lose. Chapter V. Mrs, Rita M. deAlba deAcosta Ly- dig, called “America’s most picture- sque woman,” long a friend of Dr. Grant, announced her engagement to him in 1921. -She was 42, he was 61. She had been twice married and twice | divorced: first W. E, D. Stokes, next scopal church rules Dr. Grant could not marry Mrs, Lydig without the bishop's permission. Bishop William T. Manning refused permission. Incensed, Dr. Grant attacked the church’s attitude on divorce. Result: Passage of a more vigorous amend- ment to the divorce canon. Chapter Vi. Publicity spotlights now bathed Dr. | Grant in a new way. A baby girl was found on his doorstep, abanoned He took it into his bachelor house- hold, established a nursery, hired a nurse, and announce he would raise the waif. He baptized her “Faith Willard.” One of her four godmothers was Mrs. Lydig. Soon the baby became ill. She cried at night. The rector paced the floor with her’in vain. The fad- ing infant was taken to the country to save her life, But she died in the Presbyterian hospital. The body was buried in the graveyard of Dr. Grant’s church. Chapter VII. Sorrow stilled Dr. Grant’s pulpit voice for a time. Soon he renewed his fight against the church’s stani on marriage and divorce. He said: “If marriage is founded on,the affection of two persons for each other, as marriage in America is supposed to be, with the disap. Pearance of such sentiment disap- $800.

HISTORY AND FOLKLORE OF STATE MOST INTERESTING READING TOPIC To the ‘masses of North Dakotans, the most absorbing topics for read- ing and study are those that treat 9 North Dakota, its history, its ilus- trious men and women, its natural regources and its great fund of fol lore and Indian tales, acording to a statement made here today by Miss Mary L. Downey, librarian and di rector of the North Dakota state li- brary commission; Miss Downey bases her contention on fact arising out of inquiries and requests for books’ from the state library and the traveling’ librarics that go out to the various rural com- munities of the state. A large per- centage of the demands made upon North Dakota’s. state library for reading matter has to do with things pertinent: to the state itself, he says.

The officials entered a dance hall nearby where a dance was in progress and the celebrators set up- on them. In the fight that followed the shooting became general. Two of the dance hall patrons were shot to death by the deputy and another seriously wounded. Sheriff Newlands received a bullet wound in the shoulder. Most of the men in the} | hall, according to deputies, appeared j to be intoxicated. It could not be learned whether any additional ac- tion regarding the local situation was anticipated by Governor Mc-| Cray. The Governor last week ordered officials of the national guard! to in- vestigate the situation when al] ne- gro residents were ordered to leave | town by the whites. E NAMED ACTUARY. Charles Haugh, employe of the Workmen's Compensation Bureau, has been named actuary, and Carl Knutson, also an employe, has been appointed assistant actuary. school children of the state alone, but from the rank and file of the population of the state. These seem to reflect a desire to absorb all that there is of record on the state and the items that go to make up state history. One of the absorbing items of in- terest to North Dakota library read- ers is the future of the pottery in- dustry in the state and the progress that has ben made in experimenting with North Dakota ‘clays. The writings of North| Dakota au- thors and poets hold much favor with the readers of the state, eccord- ing to Miss Downey.’ Books by the late President Roosevelt or books written about him. are popular and this popularity is. enhanced by the: fact that he was at one time closely in touch with things North Dakotan.

PATION Paris, Jun, 29——Whether the oc- cupation of the Ruhr should he mentioned at the council of the League of Nations was still a ques- tion as that body met this morning under the presidency\ of the Earl of Balfour. The announcement by Pre- mier Branting of Sweden that he would not bring questions up as he said he would do if he found the discussion “disagreeable to any of deeply interested countries was taken to mean France did not consider that her disputes with Germany could be discussed by the league Premier Branting made his statement after a conference with Premier Poincare. Might Be Considered However, it was thought that the question might be brought up by some member of the council with a view to making it- known that al- though the council could not go in- to the question without being asked to do so by the powers interested it was ready to take active steps whenever. those nations said the. word, . It is pointed out that the reslu- tion of Sept, 27 which was adepted by the council with full approval cf the powers does not say that the council does not follow the repara- tions question; on the contrary it stipulates “that the council should give constant attention to the sub- ject.” RESTAURANTS CLOSED Coblenz, Jan. 29.—As a result o demonstrations in the Rhinelar cities last night the restauran were ordered closed at 10 o'clock.
