In the senate, the record of s Republican senators from western ates in not infrequently opposing dininistration measures and_polic makes the much narrower Republ can majority there even more narrow. Neclaring their intention to oppose the tax bill, which was ready to re: port to the house today, and to vote on all other legislation as they saw fit was given by the insurgent group in a statement issued by the Wiscon- sin group last night and endorsed by the full group after un organization meeting at which Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, was reelected chairman, “We refuse to compromise,” the statement said, “or to bargain with Mr. Longworth or with any other member of the house on an issue af- fecting our rights as representatives in congress to vote our convictions of duty to our constituents.” Fire Destroys : Automobile on Memorial Bridge A new Buick Country Club coupe was totally destroyed by fire on the Liberty Memorial bridge here at 9:30 o’clock last night. Frank Wetzstein of Mandan, owner of the machine, was driving to Bismarck and as he drove onto the bridge from the west he discovered that the car was afire beneath the floorboards. The ma- chine was stopped at once, but. the flames had gained such headway that they could not be extinguished and Mr. Wetzstein was only able to re- move two spare casings from the rear of the car. A quantity of shotgun shells were in the car which caused quite a bombardment for a short period dur- ing the height of the flames. Mr. Wetzstein had owned the machine only about two months. The loss was covered by insurance and the owner immediately placed an order for another car. Gets Honey From Walls of House Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 7.—(#)—E.

Interest Rates Reduced by Bank of North Dakota Reduction of the inter the interest rates raid| s by the Bank of North Dakota to its depositors was announced today by C.-A, Green, manager of the bank. “Under the new scale three per cent interest will be paid on deposits for 12 months; 2 3-4 per cent on deposits for six months; 1 3-4 per cent on de- posits of public funds and by banks subject to check and no interest on balances in individual open accounts. The reason for the change, Green said, was that the bank now has 16,500,000 invested in gilt-edge low interest bearing securities and cannot afford to pay more than the new schedule. Under the old schedule the bank paid 4 per cent interest on time deposits, r Weather Report Se Temperature at 7 a. m, Highest yesterday Lowest last night Precipitation to 7 a. m.
