Un- ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1924 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | FINAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS | NEW COURT HOUSE IS PROPOSED HERE a & COOLIDGE SEES /POISON MURDER TEARS FAMILY APART RUSSIA HOLDS | PETITIONS FOR QUT HANDS TO | LEMKE FILED; UNITED STATES) CAN WITHDRAW OWNERSHIP OF RAILS BURDEN Says That it Would Cause a Tax Increase on Farmers Up to 40 Per Cent IS AN ENCROACHMENT Uneconomic and Not Consist- ent with Nation’s Prin- ciples, He Declares Philadelphia, Sept. 26.—Proposals for government ownership of rail- roads and other public utilities were denounced here last night by Presi- dent Coolidge as “uneconomic” and “encroachments upon our rights.” Speaking at exercises commemorat- ing the 165th, anniversary of the meeting of the First Continental Congress, Mr, Coolidge also renewed his assault on suggestions to limit the power of the Supreme Court and urge that the people resist encroach- ment upon their rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. “If we wish to maintain what our fathers here established,” he declar- ed, “we shall do well to leave the people in the ownership of their pro- perty, in control of their government and under the protection of their courts.” It is difficult, the President said, referring to government ownership of railroads, “to reconcile the Ameri- can ideal of a sovereign people cap- able of owning and managing their own government with an ability to own and manage their own business.” Furthermore, he declared, it would mean a loss in public revenue esti- mated at $600,000,000 a year .with a resultant increase in the tax on farmers of from THREE TO FORTY per cent. Early History Mr. Coolidge devoted most of his address to a discussion of early his- tory of this country and the birth of the Constitution after the organiza- tion of the First Continental Con- gress. Referring to the deliberations of this Congress, the President agsert- ed that, “if we could better under- stand what they saiq and did to es- tablish our free institutions, we should be less likely to be misled by the misrepresentations and distorted arguments of the hour and be far better equipped to maintain them.” He drew a lesson from the declar- ations of Congress as showing the “superiority of moderation and can- dor over violence and deceit in seek- ing a solution of difficult public questions.” The Constitution, Mr. Coolidge pointed out, is a device for maintain- ing in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes.” “I have mentioned the desirabili- ty,” he continued, “for the people to keep control of their own government and their own property because I be- lieve that is one of the American ideals of public welfare in harmony with the efforts of the first Contin- ental Congress. They object to small infractions, which would destroy great principles of liberty. Unless we can maintain the integrity of the courts where the individual can se- cure his rights, any kind of tyranny may follow, If.the people lose con- trol of the arteries of trade and the natural sources of mechanical pow- er, the nationalization of all indus- try could soon be expected. Our forefathers were alert to resist all encroachments upon their rights. If we wish to maintain our rights we can do no less. - Through the break- ing down of the power of the courts lies an easy way to the confiscation of the property ang the destruction of the liberty of the individual. With railways and electrical utilities un- der political control the domination of a group would be so firmly in- trenched in the whole direction of our government that the privilege of citizenship for the rest of the peo- ple would consist largely in the pay- ment of taxes. The fathers sought to escape from any such condition, through the guarantees of our Con- stitution. They put their faith in a free republic. If we wish to main- tain what they established, we shall do well to leave the people in the ownership of tlf:ir property, in con- trol of their government and under’ the protection of their courts. By a resolute determination to resist all these encroachments we can best show our reverence and appreciation for the men and the work of the first Continental Congress.” u First Congress Aim Declaring it significant that the First Congress “resulted from the volurfary effort on the part of the people to redress their own griev- ances and remedy their own wrongs,” Mr. Coolidge warned that “we pay too little attention to the reserve power of the people to take care of themselves; we are too solicitous for government intervention.” “Rveryone konws,” he added, “that our economic problems are very far from being solved, but we are making constant progress, both: in the field of production and distribution. When certain abuses arose, we adopted a policy of government regulation and control. I have no doubt that some action of that kind was . necessary and of course such a policy would be continued.

PENNSYLVANIA - OFFICERS HIT FOR ACTIONS Enforcement Officer Says Federal Officials in Penn- sylvania Are Corrupt. TURNED OVER TO STON Coolidge Also to Have Per- sonal Conference With Man Making Charges Washington, Sept. 26.—President Coolidge has turned over to Attor- ney-General Stone for investigation the charges of the Law Enforcement League of Philadelphia that there is “political corruption all down the line in Pennsylvania by federal of- fice holders.” The charges were made in a mes- sage to the President by William R. Nicholson, Jr., secretary of the Lea- gue, in which the President was asked to intervene in the controver- sey between Mayor Kendrick and his Director of Public Safety, Brigadier- General Smedley D. Butler. Mr. Coolidge has given no indica- tion that he will intervene in this controversey. The charges made by the League, however, were given consideration today, and placed in the hands of the Department of Justice with an accompanying letter. Attorney-General Stone immedi- ately telegraphed William R. Nichol- son Jr; asking that responsible of- ficers of the League confer with him relative to charges made by Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Stone announced that he was making aj thorough investigation of the complaint and is prepared “to take such appropriate action as the facts may warrant.” Meanwhile he added, he is awaiting the conference’ with the officers of the League.

P.) —All the facts indicate that a com- promise between the interests of the United States and the Russian Soviet government is to be desired and that it is quite within reach, Foreign Minister Tchitchernerin of Russia declared today in a belated reply to the pronouncement of Amer- lican policy towards Russia made by {Secretary of State Hughes. The Russian foreign secretary, in a carefully prepared 2,500 word in- terview with the Rosta agency, brist | ling with argumentation but marked by polite but emphatic language, set n point of view on the Russo-American relations, and, ccording to the interpretation plac- ed on the declaration by many per- sons here, held out the olive branch to the United States, “From the fact that the Soviet ‘government serves the interests of the laboring masses and the govern- ment of Secretary of State Hughes of American minister it does not follow that a com- pron between the two govern- ments is not possible. On the con- trary, all the facts in the case in- dicate that a compromise is to be de- sired and that it is within reach.

MAKE SWING OF ENTIRE NATION Senator Decides Upon Trip Carrying His Fight For Votes to Many States Washington, Sept. 26.—Senator Robert M. LaFollette, independent presidential candidate, has decided definitely to make a swing across the continent, carrying his fight for votes in at least a score of states before the close of the campaign. The Senator’s itinerary will carry him into the middle west, on through the Northwest and into Pacific Coast states. He intends to wage warfare with particular vigor in California, where electors pledged to him have been ruled off the ballot, forcing his supporters to vote for electors li: ed under the Socialist party desig- the Plains States and Rocky Moun- tain region.

BERLIN SEES BIG DIRIGIBLE ZR-3, Built for America, Given Great Greeting Berlin, Sept. 26.—Not since the mo- bilization day of 1914 have the streets of Berlin witnessed’ such an outbreak of patriotic enthusiasm as that which greeted the ZR-3 when the giant dirigible set off against an early pale, gray sky, majestically floated into view of the multitude, which jammed the streets, public squares and house tops of every sec- tion of the capital, é From soon after dawn the crowds had been gathering, awaiting a chance to greet the great airship built by the Zeppelin works for the United States Navy, to which it will be consigned after a trans-Atlantic flight to Lakehurst, New Jersey. As the dirigible came into sight, a million kerchiefs fluttered greetings which were returned by Dr. Hugo Eckner, director of the Zeppelin com- pany and his crew, GOV. SMITH RENOMINATED Syracuse, N.

Many Filings Before 5 p. m. today, the last hour for presenting petitions for filing to the Secretary of State, excepting those mailed today, petitions were filed for two sets of presidential electors—one in behalf of the LaFol- lette-Wheeler candidacy and another in behalf of the Coolidge-Dawes ticket.

The electors, nomin- ated by petition by the Coolidge forces, it was explained by E. T. Burke of Bismarck, are the same as those the court is asked to place in the Republican column, and should a vietory be won in court the Coolidge electors would be in the Republican column and would be removed from the individual nominations column. There is outwardly no change in the situation with respect to these electors. R. W.

Anderson, | former head of the Equity Co-oper tive exchange, has gone back to “the life.” | So he characterizes his return to his farm near Tokio, N. D., from which he has been absent: for 15 years while piloting the co-operative grain marketing movement in the northwest to success. Mr. Anderson moyed on his farm early t montli, With his family, and was there in time to get his finger in the threshing. He left St. Paul last night after spending « few days here on a business trip. Believes Farming Sound In speaking of his return to farm- ing, he declared that that pursuit today offers the best prospect of any open to a man of moderate metfr “With live pork selling at 10 cents, beef at the same, wool at 30 to 40 cents a pound, lambs at from 12 to 16 cents, butterfat upwards of 50 cents, wheat, rye, barley and corn over or close to $1,” he said, “prices are so much better today than when I last farmed, that there is no com- son why farming should not be the best paying busi- ness into which a man can get.” Mr. Anderson is farming three quarter sections, and as an example 15 KILLED IN RUSSIAN WRECK Moscow, Russia, Sept. 26.—(By the A, P.)—Fifteen persons were killed, 26 mortally injured and 43 seriou: dy injured today when the Moscow- Odessa express was derailed by ban- dits about 300 miles from Moscow. Five women were among the 15 killed. The bandits disconnected the rails, causing the locomotive und 10 coaches and baggage car to jump the track. With the exception of the three last coaches the entire train, which was traveling ut high specd, was completely wrecked, the en- gincer, fireman and ‘conductor being instantly killed. FROM CARS IN CITY STREETS of how the farmer can easily make | a living, declared that two cows on his faim alone produce the money with which to pay his grocery and fuel bills. He had to admit, however, that after a day and a half of threshing, when he pitched bundles to help out on a shortage of men, for a time at least, the farm life did not appear su rosy. After 15 years, he wasn't as tough to that kind of labor as he was in the old days, and the result too numerous to a lame back, he says. a Chiluren Advantage “Besides the de: to get back to the farm for myself,” he said last night before he left, “I wanted my children to have the advantage of a country life education. I believe they will be healthier, happier, and better citizens from living in the country.” “It's wonderful to be out there again,” he declared, “away from the noise and bustle of the city.

The resolution recites that the deputy bank examiner has called at- tention to inadequate protection of important records against fire, in the present courthouse. The main part of the Burleigh County Courthouse is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Two wings were added to it. The reso- lution of the board of county com- missioners is as follows ‘Whereas, many citizens have ex= pressed a desire to have the question of building and constructing a new court house and jail submitted to the people of Burleigh county by @ popular vate at the coming regular general election, “And Whereas, this matter has been brought to our attention by the Bank Examiner, Mr. Gilbert Seming- son, and Mr. Herman Scheffer, deputy Bank Examiner, by his re- port, which is as follows: “Your Examiner feels in duty bound to call attention to the in- adequate protection of the import- ant records and against fire hazard, the vaults, excepting the one of the County Auditor, being too small, poorly constructed and inadequate, and not of sufficient space to admit of a proper system bf filing, for ready reference, a condition which is getting more serious from day to day and which must be met, sooner or later.

P.)—-Theodore Roosevelt, who was nominated yesterday as the Republi- can nominee for Governor of New York, called on President Coolidge this morning and formally presented his resignation as assistant secre- tary of the navy, which was accepted by the President. with petitions placing William Lem- ke in nomination for Governor. Their opposition, and that of other Non- partisans in the recent Jamestown conference, would continue, regard- less of the actions of Lemke, they in- dicated. “The Jamestown conference was | just an expression of sentiment that has been felt in the League for two months,” said Cook. “It just needed someone to take action.” Three major objections to Sorlie are given by the anti-Sorlie group in the Nonpartisan League camp. They are: He has “trimmed” on the LaFol- lette issue and hurt his campaign rather than helped it. He has failed to take a stand on the Ku Klux Klan question. He has failed to step forward as a leader and settle differences in Lea- gue conferences, but has “ducked” when he should have been leading. LaFollette Issue “The principal thing against Sor- | lie that started the Jamestown meet- ing,” Cook said, “was that he didn’t act square on the LaFollette issue. He did give a statement saying that since the LaFollette electors were taken out of the Republican column he could take a stand on national is- sues and be for LaFollette. The electors were not withdrawn. That was a weak statement from a man who is a candidate for Governor.” Asked if the purpose of the James- town conference was to drive Sorlie more into the open for LaFollette, he said: “Whether that was the purpose or not that is the effect of it.” He enumerated other objections to Sorlie, however, in which O. A. Hall concurred. “Sorlie was, you might say, put over by the turn of the vote in Grand Forks county,” said Cook. “The Ku Klux Klan isn’t so big in this state but is big in Sorlie’s own county and he ought to take a stand on it. “Yes,” added O. A. Hall, “candi- dates for president are taking a stand against the Klan and a candi- date for Governor ought tc.” Dodged Hard Problems Sorlie, they charged, hasn't shown (Continued on page 8) NATION'S CAPITAL BUBBLING OVER WITH ENTHUSIASM FOR BALL TEAM Washington, Sept. 26.—The na- tion’s capital, bubbling over with confidence that the Senators are go- ing to win the American League pen- nant, wants to turn out en masse and parade behind the Harris outfit when it returns here Wednesday.
