P.)—The House agricultural commit- a committee. Many bills of importance are expected to be presented in the next week, although there i: of measures of importance to come before the assembly al- ready have been introduced. Among the measures of interest and importance yet to be disposed of are: Senate bill repealing anti-cigarette law, passed by Senate and now in Hoe committee. Senate bill abolishing party reg- istration with assessors, passed by senate and now in Hot ine percent’ maximum contract interest rate bill, passed by Senate. Ingerson bills restricting bank horrqwings and requiring guarantee of stockholders’ double liability, pending in Senate committee. Tax measures providing restora- tion of partial exemptions on small homes, furniture, and revising de- linquent tax laws, now pending in senate committee.

U, i Most of important appropriation bills yet to be finally passed. 297 Bills In The number of bills introduced in the} session had risen to a total of 297 at the commencement of today’s session of the legislature. The number of bills, much smaller than usual in the first two weeks of the session, had increased rapidly dur- ing the past week when scores of | measures were placed either in the/ Senate or House. Today 140 bills had been introduced in the House nnd 157 placed before the Senate. The legislators appear to face a steady grind during the remainder of the session, facing for the most pert discussion of laws involving the state’s business and appropriations. ‘Political flurries which, have ap- peated at times during the,-. first three weeks of the session have not mounteé to proportions that were expected. Except for a few di sions, on such measures as the High- ways Commission investigation, re- peal of the board of managers law, repeal of party registration and banking measures, the division of pinion on measures has not been along party lines. Cut Appropriations I Appropriations continue to en- er attention of members of the legiNature, many of whom believe the most ‘important work that can be done in the present session is to keep Rewn’ the expenses of rpnning the staté government for the two- wyar period from July 1 ‘next. The House thus far has shown a stzonger disposition to use the prun-; ing knife than ‘thé Senate. Several Senate. appropriation bills, such as that for the children’s department of the stat¢ board of administration, have been sherply reduced by the House, either irt.the appropriations committee or in tke committee of the whole. * Banking legislation appears to come second in the attentlan of the legislators. One measure has\passed the Senate reducing the maximum interest rate from 10 percent to ning percent. Another measure, pending in the House, would reduce the max- imum rate of the \ interest which banks may pag. Two bills providing for a limitation on the interest wnich may be paid were killed ip the Senate. : y/ Ingerson bills, which would provide for a guarantee of stock- _ holders’ double Hability by requiring deposit of securities to be made with the State Treasurer by stockholders in banks,,another making it a crime for an officer of a bank: to borrow money from it, and. another limiting the borrowing power of the banks, are yet:to be disposed of.

The revenue act of , approved June 2, 1924, makes important changes in federal taxes, especially as they affect individuals and part- nerships. Partnerships, as such, are not taxed, but they are required to file a retgrn showing the net income distributive share thereof to each partner, and each required to include in dua] return such distribu- of the earnings, whether or not he has received them, ‘ The net income of corporations is dgtermined in much’ the same man- ner as that of an jndividual, but they are taxed at a flat rate of 12 1-2 per cent of the taxable net income, instead of the graduated rates ap- plying ta, individuals, therefore the tax on cprporations will not be speci- fically discussed jn these articles. Every citizen of the United States, whether residing in this country or abroad, every resident alien, and every non-resident alien receiving in- come from sources within the Uni ed States, may be subject to this tax. An alien who traveling through or .temporarily sojourning in the United States is not a resi dent alien within the meaning of the law.

When the aggregate net income of husband and wife living together is $2500 or more, or the aggregate gross ineome is $5000 or mere, either joint or ‘separate returng must be filed, In some cases an _ individual by reasons of deductions and credits al- lowed, is required to file a return, although no tax-is payable.

Walter Benson, justice of the peace, declared after an investigation that “there is no doubt the shot was accidental.” “Wilson was cleaning an automati pistol,” Benson said. “The parts of the handle were flying on a bed. He had pulled a chair beside the bed and was working on the gun there, There is no doubt that the shot was acci dental. One shell had been stuck the gun and others were in the hed.

In 1898 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomin- ation for state superintendent of public instruction. He then went to North Dakota where he was in charge of the extension department of the university of that state. He returned to Oklahoma and was made manager of the Farmer-Labor re- construction league. He was instru- mental in the elegtion of former Governor Walton and after Walton’s entry into office was made president of the Oklahoma A., and M. college.

Kitchen. With a minimum of fall plowing done, there will be unusual activity in the fields in the istate early in the spring, according ta reports to the state commission- er’s office; With regard to condi- tions in the state as the 1925 crop planting season approaches Mr. Kit- jchen said, today: “There was a minimum of fall |plowing done sin 1924. This was due jto a large grain crop and to general ifall rains that. delayed harvest and threshing. » Fearing the ravages of Black, Rust farmers generally en- déavor to, have their larger acreages of spring wheat seeded by May Ist. With the factors of a small amount of fall plowing, but with prevailing high prices on wheat, there will be energetic efforts made to get in con- \siderable spring plowing for the seeding of spring wheat. In 1924 barley and corn had an equal acre- age of about 1,140,000 each. These icreages will be slightly increased 1925, With the prevailing good price on flax and the fact that flax is imported, the 1,500,000 acres seed- ed in 1924 will probably be increased in 1925 to 1,500,000 acres. Strenu- ous efforts have been made by 1 Banks, Railroads, and commercial \firms to increase dairy products in {North Dakota. 1,500 dairy cattle were brought in on the Soo Line alone in 1924, Farniers are exerting more care in. securing registered bulls and developing a better milk production per animal. The begin- ning of 1925 finds a lower price on butterfat than we should expect. This will deter the State, as a whole, from continued rapid advancement in increasing dairy cattle. We anti- cipate a considerable increase in the number of hogs in 1925. “The State has an,abundant sup- ply of all feed and seed for their 1925 requirements.

Sorlie embraces three measures, and the Governor is insisting upon passage of such legistation by the legisla- ture. The chief executive, who adopted a “hands off” policy with re- gard to legislation after delivering his inaugural address, has entered into active support of measures Jand has let it be known to associ- ates that he is willing to use the force of his power to get these pro- posals into law. ‘The program of the Governor includes: Mill and elevator - reenacting bill, which abolishes the board of managers for the Grand Forks mill and elevator. Law to place state warehouse receipt, particularly as it would affect the mill and elevator at Grand Forks, on a parity with the federal warehouse license. Measure creating terminal mar- ket at Grand Forks, designed to permit the state railroad com- mission to make freight rates based upon terminal markets; permitting state elevator to mix various grades of wheat to con- sistency desired by millers and Pp it from Grand Forks eleva- jor. | The Governor, in conferences, | also has made known that he desires the measure introduced Saturday, appropriating $25,000 for employment of an efficien- cy expert to make a survey of the state departments and insti- tions, with a view of economy, to pass. Mixing of Wheat The most important planks in the Sorlie administration mill and ele- vator program, us made known by him today, include the creation of a terminal market at Grand Forks, as jfar as it can be done by law, and |making it possible to mix wheat in jthe elevator and sell it to millers, i . jin addition to supplying the state i "flour mill at Grand Forks. | The Governor has pointed out that jthe freight rate on wheat from Wil- |liston to Minneapolis is on a 16-cent basis and from Williston to Grand |Forks on a 15-cent basis. Freight |rates, he holds, are based upon ter- minals in the Twin Cities and Du- iIuth, and should be based with a jview of permitting a terminal market jat Grand Forks, Fargo also, when the Equity Pack- ing Plant is placed in operation, will desire such an arrangement with respect to terminal market rates, the Governor believes. He would, as far as possible by jlaw, give the state elevator at Grand Forks the status of a terminal mar- |ket, permigting the state railroad jcommission to fix rates from vari- jous points within the state to the state mill at Grand Forks. When ‘wheat is loaded on a car at the pres- lent time it is immediately subject to jthe basis of rates and authority of |the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, he holds, whereas under his jplan he would increase the power of. jthe state railroad commission with jregard to rates, if possible. i Would Make Big Market |The Governor would make the {Grand Forks elevator a market point for wheat. His view is that wheat, jof different protein content, obtain- {ed from various parts of North Da- kota, could be mixed in the elevator |to the right protein value to meet |milling requirements, and could be sold from the Grand Forks elevator ;to millers in other parts of the jcountry. | The Governor holds that by this | method buyers of wheat could be made to come to North Dakota to purchase the hard spring wheat needed in flour milling, instead of buying it at Minneapolis or other |terminal points where it is mixed lat present. : | The warehouse receipt law, he be- |lieves, would make the North Dakota storage receipt issued by the state ; elevator as good as the receipt issued from a federal warehouse, and money could be borrowed on it. It is known ‘that the Governor believes that op- jerations of the Grand Forks eleva- itor, in purchasing wheat, mixing and reselling it, could be largely done on borrowed money, with the rain security. The bill which passed the house {abolishing the board of managers of the mill and elevator at Grand Forks, and placing control of the mill in the hands of the Industrial Commi: sion, is being vigorously favored by the Governor. is demanding passage of the measure by the ate, where Independents now have s majority of one. ~ oe He jw
