B. Burtness has received letters offering favorable comment on the “Fair Dollar” bill for stabi ing the buying power of the dollar which he has'introduced in congress, from several prominent economists of the United States, according to word received here by D. J. Tinnes, originator of the “Fair Dollar” idea embodied in the bill. Among others, Congressman O. B. Burtness has re- ceived a letter from Prof. Willard I. King of the National Bureau of Eco- nomic Research, who says: “I am, of course, interested in H. R: 483 and I heartily endorse the ideal you have in mind. . . I have feeling that your bill should be trifle more ‘specific in safeguarding the reserves established for the re- demption fund in such manner tha they cannot in arly possible way be used for other purposes.

I think it is an im- provement on the Goldsborougn bill.” Professor Kemmerer says the bill should provide how the officials in the Monetary Standard Division are to be appointed.

BAR OFFICIAL SEES CHAOS IN REPUBLIC; Constitutional and Federal Encroachment Given as Reasons Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 29.—Through “constitutional amendments and federal encroachment the form of United States government, is being changed from a republic into a politi- ‘cal and hysterical chaos, whose final terms are expressed in the unspeak- able Russia of today,” R. E. L. Saner of Dalles, Tex., president o1 the American Bar Association, said in an address today before the Ne- braska Bar association. Mr. Saner also is chairman of the nationa: committee on American citizenship. “It was not until this present generation, descendants of sturdy pioneers, had learned to live in fat- tened and complacent ease upon the wealth and the security and safety bought for them by the blooa and sacrifice of their forefathers, that the idealists, the doctrinaires and the demagogues became an established institution in our nation- | al life and evolved a new theory of | government for the America people,” he asserted. “The age through which we are going may well be termed the age of constitu- tional amendment and federal en- croachment encroaching upon the rights and powers of both the states of ‘this republic and its individual citizens. “It is time to call a halt and to get back to the beginning of things; back to the real sources of our strength; back to the republic; that under the constitution the fathers so wisely conceived and so successfully instituted; back to a government ot the whole people, by the whole peo- ple and for the whole people. Day by day gradually and insidigusly; through constitutional amendments and federal encroachment the form of this government of ours is being changed from that republic into a political and hysterical chaos, whose final terms are expressed in the un- | speakable Russia of today. “Today, incipient blazes of bolshe- vism and radicalism fed ‘by disre- spect of long-established American ; institutions are lighting the fires of revolution. It is a challenge to us to pledge enewed allegiance to the faith of our fathers that we may, in extinguishing the fires that destroy, proclaim to the world that our gov- ernment is the best government on earth that our ideals of national life are the highestsand that we will as individuals strive in every way to mairitain our Constitution inviolate, | and perpetuate its traditions for ever.” Bambino Has Another Rival.

The International Health Board of New York, a part of the Rockefeller Foundation, has effered to subsidize the laboratory to the extent of $1,600 per year for the purpose of making possible the employment of an ex- pert who might do sanitary engineer- jing work—go to various parts of the state to investigate epidemics, and to do similar work for the state jhealth department.

The committee also selected a slate of delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, to go before the voters in the March 18 election. Ostensibly the division was seven Nonpartisan Leaguers to six opposed to the Nonpartisan Les- gue on the proposed delegation. Eric Bowman, of LaMoure, former state senator, was endorsed for na- tional committeeman to succeed Gun- der Olson, receiving 16 votes to four for Olson. Bowman's endorsement was unanimous on motion of E, Myrha of Richland county, who pro- posed Olson's name. The committee authorized Chair- man Frazier to call committeemen of the second district together at Car- rington should Congressmen George Young resign and a nominating con- vention appear desirable, The “harmony plan” was given a jolt by Treadwell Twichell, veteran Cass county committeeman, who walkéd out of the meeting. There were 21 of the 49 committeemen re- presented, either in person or proxy. Twichell declared that Frazier had sought. to make a deal with Burleigh Spaulding, of Fargo chairman of the “Real Republican State Committee” which does not retognize the Frazier committce as truly Republican, whereby the delegation to the na- convention would be split among Nonpartisans and Independ- ents. The division, Twichell assert- ed, must be seven Independents to six Nonpartisans as representing of their voting strength. The Nonpar- isan-included committeeman were majority and they d the suggestion. Delegate Slate Named The committee appointed to name a slate of delegates chose the fol- lowing, and the convention adopted their choice: Mrs. E. O. Bailey, Mann- ing; Mrs. Carl 'N. Frich, Lakota; Mrs, C. A. Fisher, Valley City; Fred J. Graham, Ellendale; Ole Olson, New Rockford; B. F. Spalding, Fargo; Wm. Stern, Fargo; J. A. Powers, Leonard; T. E. Beals, Dickinson; Staale Hendrickson, Coteau; C C. Conn, Amidon; W. J. Church, York; Geo, Robins, Grand Forks. Iding is head of one committee opposing the Nonpartisan League wh le W. J. Church is the league’s stute chairman, The anti-leaguers ned on the delegation, generally have been classed as three ‘“‘insur- gents” and three “stalwarts.” Gunder Olson, national committee- man was present with James FP. Shea, but did not parti ein the deli- berations. Frazier Opens It Chairman Roy Frazier, opening the meeting, said he called the commit- tee together “for the purpose of getting together the various fuctions of Republicans in the state which have sprung up recently. I feel it is my duty to attempt to get these fac- tions working together.” He read the names of members of the committee, which county audi- tors had reported to him as having been elected, he said. Three names were missing in the list of 49, one for each legislative district, these names having not been supplied by county auditors. Ormsby McHarg of Jamestown, in the committee meeting by proxy, asked harmony. “Factionalism has existed every place,” he said. “I am not an I, V. A., not a Nonpartisan, I am a Repub- lican. Last fall ‘people - asked me who I would vote for and I tgld them I was a Republican and wohld vote the Republican ticket. I want to do everything I can to end factionalism. It dgesn’t make any difference what a man is—he called into question as a Republican.” Frazier replied that a woman rep- resentative of the Republican Na- tional Committee had. been to see him in Crosby and told him the fac- tionalism in North Dakota was not different from that of other states.- Eric Bowman of LaMoure wanted asily in the spurne committees named and proposed, first, a resolutions committee of five, Twichell Deal Treadwell Twichell, committeeman from the Tenth district, Cass county, came into the room, and was called to the floor. lhe “I would be very glad to do what I can with men not Democrats to get together,” he “said. “For -'40 years the line of demarcation: has been whether men, were -Democrats ther developing the growth of sugar’ or Republicans.
