A divi expected in the s ion along party lines was | e House of Rep- resentatives this afternoon on the Sorlie administration bill providing for repeal of the law creating a board of managers for the state mill and vator at Grand Forks, The bill was approved in commit- tee of the whole yesterday afte with a brief interchange be- representati of the Inde- nts and the sans.

No step has been en toward’ the introductién of y measure tq provide finances for ‘he mill, and today was the last day for ghe introduction of appropriation bills. ‘two years agoviie legislaiede au thorized , $2,000,000 in milling bonds, to provide operating capital for the’ ill, These bonds were issued with the wheat, and flour sth inthe from it, as well as cash in the bank, as security. To date $1,500,- 000 of these bonds have been issued. It was expected that authorization would be asked for another issue of j 00,000 of milling bonds, but this aga not appear to be a part of the; ie program, ie Nonpartisan leader, ed concerning measutes regarding fi- nances of the state mill, said: “We don’t need ‘any finances; there’s the Bank of North Dakota.” It is understood that the general stheme of financing proposed ~ by Governor Sorlie and other Nonpar- tisans is to borrow money on wheat bought and stored in the state ele- vator at Grand Forks. It is said to 90 percent of the purchase price of the wheat might be borrowed in this manner, Borrow From Bank Money for financing sales, opera- tion, meeting a deficit, if any, etc. would be borrowed from the Bank of North Dakota. If there is no legislation proposed by the administration with respect to financing the state mill, this mat- ter may be allowed to slide. Inde- pendents, however, are opposed to proposals by Nonpartisans to use the Bank of North Dakota entirely to finance the state mill and elevator, which now shows heavy losses. The Bank has loaned to the mill upwards of $500,000 for financing, and the Independents hold that if the Bank is depended upon entirely to finance the mill and elevator, the result will be that tax monies will be tied up in the flour mill. It was suggested from an Inde- pendent source, prior to the open- ing\ of the legislature, that the leg- islature appropriate ' $1,00((000 to finance the mill and elevator in the next two years, so as to give Gover- nor Sorlie a free hand and obviate the necessity of heavy borrowings frm the Bank of North Dakota, The Nonpartisans, however, see no need of appropriating such a sum, and it is doubtful if such a sum could be ap- propriated and the tax levy of the state kept within the constitutional limitation, K.K.K’S GUARD GRAVEOF YOUNG Herrin, Ill., Jan, 30,—Two Ku Klux Klan Klansmen will stand guard over the grave of S.

P.)—The diphtheria epidemic yester- day took # serious turn and the cit- izens, through the local correspond- ent of the Associated Press, address ‘ | ed the following appeal that official Washington’ hasten anti-toxin by airplane from Fairbanks, rather than | force them to wait for dog team de-! livery. “Help immediately! Help by air- plane with anti-toxin serum is the appeal of Nome, not for the Sour- doughs but especially for the chil- dren, the young Americans of tomor- row.” “We don’t want to ask Soviet Rus- sia to send an ice-breaker with anti- toxin nor do we ask that the Shen- andoah’ or the Los Angeles be dis- patched but please get Uncle Sam to send an airplane from Fairbanks with two red-blooded men, Who have volunteered to ‘fly to Nome in four hours in order to bring relief. “There is a shipment of anti-toxin from Juneau due in Nenena, Febru- ary 8, which if sent by airplane will beat the dog team by several days to Nome, which may save the lives of many. “Everything looked favorable yes- terday but today conditions have re- versed. More new cases have been reported. Dr, Welch states that °all four and five-year-old anti-toxin has been used up and only one good doze of six-year-old anti-toxin is left, “There has been about 75,000 units of old anti-toxin sused which have been responsible for holding the epidemic in check to date, but now that it is used up and more cases appearing the situation has become serious due to the fact that if we must wait for dog teams to arrive we cannot expect relief much before February 13.” The appeal concluded with a re- quest to the Associated Press to bring the situation to the attention of officials at Washington.
