The last two administration bills expected in by tomorrow after the mill and elevator fingneing bill and a bill affecting the Bank of North} Dakota. A concurrent resolution calling for the sub) on of a constitutional amendment permitting the issuance of bonds to build dormitories at t higher institutions of learning of the tsute will be introduced in the state senate today or Tuesday by Senators P. O. Thorson of Grand Forks and Frank Ployhar of Barnes, ‘The proposed measure is in accord- ance with plans laid before the leg’ lators by J. W.

Another bill which is due to be introdu d before the close of the ative day will empower the state industrial commission /to ar- range for a loan on the joutstanding soldiers compensation claims which will result inthe prompt payment of these claims. The deal will be han- dicd on much the same basis that the state hail warrants have been handled during the last year. It is also expected that a coneur- rent resolution will be introduced to provide for the submission of a constitutional amendment to permit the state to isue bonds up to the amount 6f $5,000,000 to pay the out- standing obligations of the deposi- tors guaranty fund. This amend- ment if it passes the 4egislature would be submitted at the presiden- tial primary election to be held in March, 4924. Reneal Guaranty Law. Another measure which is also ur- der consideration and which may be introduced would provide for the repeal of the of the state deposit guarantv law and will probably be so drafted as to have the repeal be- come effective at a date subsequent to the vote on the proposed bond is- sue. It is felt by a number of the sen- ate leaders that a constitutionat ‘amendment covering the proposed bond issue will be necessary if the bonds are to be readily salable. Highway Bill. Another bill was to be introduced providing for abolishing the‘ state highway department, and declaring a virtual moratorium on road build- ing by providing that no federal aid money be accepted. The North Da- kota Tax Payers’: association has urged that there be no road building for a period of at least two years. ‘A new oil tax bill also will go in.

Bank of North Dakota Bill One more bill regarding the Bank rth Dakota will complete the Ze of , administration program in the legis- lature on rural credits and the bank operation. This bill, probably to be making real estate loans may be | made to mature 30 years from this ear, A constitutional amendment | wilt be offered by Senator Kaldor, |to be voted on in 1924, permitting | the issuance of bonds for rural cre- | dits which mature on a period based ‘upon the time of making loans. Section 4 of the law of 1919 pro- viding for the issuance of real es- tate series bonds, on which farm loans are made, provides that: “The bonds * * * shall be issued in de- nominations of from five dollars to ten thousand dollars and shall be payable in not less than ten or more than thirty years from passage of this act. ~The constitution says: “Every law authorizing « bond issue shall provide for levying an annual tax, or make other provision, suffi- cient to pay the interest semi-an- nually, and the principal within 30 years from passage of such law.*** Under these provisions, it is held, farm loan bonds may be made to mature 30 years from 1919. Since \farm loahs mature the same time as the bonds, the amortization peri under the law can be only 3 from 1919, and not from 1923 or any other year. Loans made in 1923 must mature in 27 years, it is therefore held, Another administration bank bill | was introduced in the house Satur- day by Rep. Hanson, Grand Forks.

The bill further provides that the surplus fund or balance which has been collected since the inception of the Workmen’s compensation bu- reau which is now over one million dollars, shall be turned in to the general fund of the state for such purposes as may develop, and which the author claims would for at least one year tend to cut the amount of the required levy for state purposes.

Lausanne, Feb. 5.— Isme asha, head of the Turkist delegation, informed the cor respondents that Turkey had no desire to resume hostilities with either Great Britain oz Greece as a result of the col- ‘lapse of the Near East con- ference but he emphasized that -Turkish and Engiish } armies were still facing each | other in Asia Minor. Ismet said the Turks would ask the powers whether they consider the negotiations of- ficially at an end. The impression prevailed © among the conference dele- gates that Turkey would not | be officially informed of the termination of the negotia- tions as it generally was de- ed to continue the armis- tice and avoid the renewal of war.
