ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER. 15, 1924 |_FINAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS | FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF PEKING OPENS LEGALITY OF PAY FOR TEXT BOOKS RAISED Law Providing Free Text Book Plan Can't be Changed Without Vote, Is Up SOME PAY, SOME DON’T Situation Mixed up as a Re- sult of Change Made by Board This Year Patrons of the Bismarck schools who have been assessed for text books may demand tieir money back, owing to a controversy over the mat- f ter. It may take a legal opinion to clear the atmosphere. Under the law the free text books plan cannot be changed without a vote of the people after petitions have been signed to change from free text books to a paid basis. This year patrons of the Bismarck schools have been asked to pay for the text books. The school law covering this point is very plajn. If the people petition to place the text book matter upon a plan whereby the students fur their own books, it must be submit- ted to a vote of the people. No such vote has been taken in Bismarck nor have petitions been circulated to ascertain what the shes of the school patrons ave ny of the swudents have paid. Some others who have looked up the law have refused to pay. Supt. Saxvik, when the mattcr was called to his attention today, sai that no complaints have reeched him as yet. He said it was a question whether Bismarck had ever legaily voted for free text books or net. There is no question but what Bis- marek has been upon a five text book basis. Richard Penwarden, clerk of the school board, stated today that no election was ever held but that free text books were adopted voluntarily by the board. There seems to be a legal question, however, as to whether the city was ever’ upon a free teat bok basis ex- cept by resolution of the school board. There has been some opposition to the change inaugurated in the city on the ground that under the free text book plan, the tendency is against frequent changes in the text books, thus minimizing the expense to parents of school children. It is urged by othezs that in view of the fact that Bismarck has been under the free text ook plan so long, that a vote is necessary to re- turn to the old system cf paying for the books and the attendant frequent changes in the text books. DAVIS TALKS IN MISSOURI Will Speak at Rally of Dem- ocrats at Barbecue from Pac’ from Bunceton, Sept. 15,— John W. Davis, democratic candidate for president, arrived early today from Kansas City to make his first speech in Missouri at the state dem- ocratie rally. Mr, Davis is to be the speaker at the farm of Dr, Nelson, late today. Thousands of Missouri democrats are expected at the rally und barbecue.

The responsibility is up to the board, and school patrons should insist that the building be equipped with fire-escapes without delay. It should not be necessary to circulate petitions to bring about such action. And while on this point, it might be well to utilize the fire-proof schools we now have and upon which the taxpay- ers are paying the overhead. When, $7,950 of the taxpayers money can be paid as 2 gratuity to one city official, surely a few hundreds can be spent upon fire-escapes for the William Moore school. Yes, the school patrons would willingly pay somebody a three per cent bonus if they could have fire-escapes, and the modern new schools utilized to their limit. NEW RATES ON GRAIN GO INTO EFFECT TODAY Tariffs Intra-State Rates Ac- ing | Occasionally the nation is startled by some fire that sweeps through a school house at great loss of life and property. An investigation is ordered and it is often found that the building was a fire-trap without adequate escapes. Request has been made for the fire marshal to inspect This may be a wise precaution, but it must be apparent to even a laymen not deeply versed in fire hazards that the William Moore school is one of the worst fire-traps in the state and the use of the building above the second floor without fire-escapes would be toler- ated in few cities of the nation. The school board should without delay equip the build- ing with adequate fire-escapes, insist upon the storm win- ows being removed so sufficient air can be secured. Only this morning a girl student fainted at the William Moore school due to the poorly ventilated and overheated room—most of the windows in this room are sealed by storm windows with only a small ventilator. for the school nurse to see that plenty of fresh air is pro- ‘vided even if fire escapes are not. _ lf. fire ever started in the basement and got headway, one hates to contemplate what might happen. has ever started there is no guarantee against future con- tingencies.

SURETY FIRM HELD LIABLE TO DEPOSITORS Judgement to be Entered in Court for About $20,000 For Brantford Ban Carrington, N. D., Sept. 15.—Judg- ment for an amount approximating $20,000 will be entered against a New York insurance firm and ulti- mately in favor of depositors in the closed Security State bank of Brant- ford, as a result of the decision by C, W.

The verdict firm liable for holds the bonding money appropriated from the bank’s funds by Dewey Miller and Nels Ostrum, active offi- cers of the institution at the time it closed. The company, the National Surety Co. of New York, had a $10,- 000 bond on each of the two officers and judgment was taken for $8,101.84 each on the two bonds, together with 6 per cent interest on those sums from the 18th of July, 1921, The total amount will be around $20,000. heft Charged Officers The ‘amount of the alleged pecula- tions was determined by a careful ex- amination of the bank books which disclosed a shortage of over $16,000. The case was brought by C. H. Reimers, at that time receiver for the bank under an appointment from the governor. When it was called in district court in Foster county at the March, 1923, term, it was agreed {that. as a preliminary a long and jcareful audit of the bank's books must be made and Judge Coffey at that time appointed Attorney C, W. | Burnham of Carrington as referee to | hear the testimony and go over the books with the attorneys. The case was tried before the referee a year ago last July. Record Verdict Here Lawrence, Murphy & Nilles ap- peared in the case for the eastern insurance company, while C. B.

Hines, director of the Veterans bureau, were among the activities of first session.\ A few hours after the opening of the con- vention, the 40 and 8, and the Au- xiliary, composed of the relatives of soldiers, were scheduled to open their meetings. President Coolidge, in a letter to the convention and addressed to the first session, expressed regret at his inability to attend and expressed “a deep interest in the proceedings and every convention welfare.” Thousands on Streets Meanwhile many thousands of veterans who come annually to the convention to meet former comrades but are not delegates, took over the downtown business district, parad- ing behind their bands or retelling oft-retold tales of the trenches. Meeting in the municipal Auditori- um, where the five-day convention is being held, delegates heard ad- dresses of welcome from city and state representatives, several reports of committees and addresses by rep- resentatives of the G. A. R. and United Confederate Veterans. Besides Commander Quinn and speakers also included McClintock of the Ameri- Gen. Hine James K, works of that organization to ‘the American Legion. WHAT RED CROSS DOES St. Paul, Sept. 15.—The American Red Cross in the last year has spent $4,300,000 for the benefit of disabled veterans and men now in service, {James K. Clintock, assistant to its national chairman, told members of the American Legion in convention here today, and the Red Cross “now looks forward with interest to the Legion assuming this primary ser- vice as really its own.” “I am advised by your representa- tives that assistance given by the Red Cress to the American Legion for its rehabilitation service has now enabled the Legion to plan for a self-supported service,” said Mr. Clintock. “The Red Cross has had pleasure in standing by in this way during the formative period until this service to the disabled can be made really your own. “We have a common bond of in- terest in serving disabled service men and their families. The Red Cross considers its service to dis- abled veterans as its first respon- sibility. This has first call. Our work for the disabled continues in undiminjshed volume. During the past fiseal year approximately $4 300,000 was expended by the nation- al organization and by the Red Cross Chapters for the benefit of the disabled and men now in ser- vice. “I trust we shall always have un- derstanding and common interest in the finer, better and healthier Am- erican citizenship our two organiza- tions are formed to foster. Through- out the country fine cooperation ex- ists to that end. In disaster, in health and community activities, in citizenship training for the children in our schools, we have opportunity to supplement each other. Your Americanism work has accom| hed much. Your fight on illiteracy has brought light to many. Your efforts for a finer citizenship have been commendable, “The Red Cross in its citizenship work is beginning with the children, believing that there is found the most fertile soil for planting the seeds of service to others and the attainment of a great citizenship. Approximately five and one-half million children are members of the American Junior Red Cross and their motto is ‘I serve.’ “Then through Red Cross public health nurses in one thousand coun- ties, through Red Cross health edu- ciation work, through First Aid and Life Saving, healthier and stronger bodies are being made possible for the tasks of peace.” GAS WAR RAGES IN GRAND FORKS Grand Forks, N.

Kositzky, state land commissioner, said today after returning from a trip through these counties. “A great deal of the corn that is matured ig much better corn than t year,” he said. “The cold wea- ther in the middle of the summer discouraged many, who quit culti- vating their corn. As a result, weeds took it and it won’t mature. A few more days without frost and most of the corn will be safe. One Kidder county farmer told me that every day the frost holds off now means $100,000 to North Dakota farmers. “In spite of the most unfavorable weather there will be much splen- did corn.” MINOT ROUNDUP PRIZES GIVEN Minot, N.
