Is Cause, Says Green Improvement in the general finan- cial situation has caused a decrease in the total amount and number of Joans asked of the Bank of North Dakota, C. R. Green, manager of the state institution, said. Much business which would have come to the Bank of North Dakota in more stringent times now is being handled by private individuals with funds to spare, Green said, and pointed to advertisements by. banks and loan companies in the leading newspapers of the state, citing their willingness to loan, money on “rea- sonable terms,” Many banks and lgan companies are claiming that loaps from them gost no more than loans from the Bank of North Dakota and.they are getting the business on that basis, Green said, many persons pre- fer to do business with individuals and corporations rather than with a state institution.

The sudden turning of 16 Republi- cans who first had voted against re- peal of the inheritance tax and then jcnioyed . Iniost solid Democratic lineup in wiping out “the taxes on automobiles, admissions and dues, prompted quick recess, as moved by Senator Reed, Republican, Penn- sylvania, “in view of the storm.” Chairman Smoot of the finance lcommittee, hopeful that ‘the storm had blown itself out over night, sought today to round’ up enough strength to undo some of the action erday, especially in view of remaining provisions calling for more tax cuts. The total reduction of $452,000,000 provided by the bill at the c' of work yesterday is $126,000,000 over the figure provided by the house Measure and the maximum set by Secretary Mellon. | Chairman Smoot told the senate its action in repealing the automobile \passenger car levy, involving » loss 70,000,000" in revenue, “will ruin the bill” while Senator Couzens, Re- publican, Michigan, countered with the charge that it was “a damnable outrage if you take the taxes off dead millionaires and not relieve these burdensome levies.” He had fought the provision repealing the inheri- tance levy, which was approved by the senate, 49 to 6. mination of the taxes voted yes- terday may assure return of the in heritance tax to the bill when it reaches the conference with repre- sentatives of the house, whose lea Mite hell, re old quarters at Fort Sam Houston rolled up to his quarters and car headquarters.

MADE TODAY BY SECRET VOTE Opinion Given That Members of 3rd Party Group Will Stay in League VOTE WAS 87 TO 18 Garberg of Fargo Urged All to Abide by Decision of the Majority After disposing of the platform at this afternoon's session, the convention recessed and trans- posed itself into a meeting of the stofkholders of the North Dakota Nonpartisan, with the aim in view of devising a plan for rescuing the official league news- paper from its financial difficul- When thin stockholders’ meet- ing, which ix expected to contin- ue for an hour or more, is fin- ished, the nominations will be taken up and the fight over the convention's nomination’ for gov- ernor will commence. (By Associated Press) By a vote of 87 to 18 the Nonpar-. tisan state convention today decided to stay in the Republican party. The vote was taken by secret ballot. Ralph Ingerson, Bottineau, thanked those supporting the Farmer-Labor party, und said nothing about bolting the convention, as had ‘been feared by some administration leaders. Although Farmer-Labor leaders de- clined ‘to comment on ‘the result of vote, it was said on good author- ity that the Farmer-Laborites wot elect to remain in the league and continue from within their fight for a third party. Moves Rapidly The convention moved forward rap- idly following the report of the com- mittee appointed last\ night to effect 4 compromise and prevent a split be- tween the two factions. In reporting that the committee had reached no agreement, Peter Garberg, Fargo, said the fight hinged on the belief of some Farmer-Laborites that the administration had prepared a slate which it would insist on nom- inating. They felt, Garberg said, that there would be strong sentiment for a third party: if, Sorlie were re- nominated. He urged the convention to “return to the original league pro- r= Officials expressedi gram of majority rule and that all abide by the decision of the major- ity Charles Stocke, Bottineau, said there were three factions in the con- vention, the administration, the anti- identification has been ,Sorlie faction and the anti-Nye fuc- ”D. Atkinson of Bottineau urge delegate to abide by the m vote and not to bolt the conven- ion. C. J. Bell, Stutsman county, said he doesn’t like Sorlie politically, but does like the way he has managed the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks and will vote for him. Were Prepared for Split Nonpartisan league leaders were prepared for a split in their ranks as went into the second day of their convention here. The Nonpartisan-league always has functioned as a part of the Republi- can party'and now controls the Re- publican machinery in the state, al- though it is not recognized by the national administration. Refuse To Drop Sorlie Administration leaders , refused to accept a proposal by the Farmer-Lu: borites that they reject Governor Sor- lie and Gerald P. Nye, his senatorial appointee. The Farmer-Labor group is headed by iam Lemke, Fargo, one-time chieftain of the Nonpartisan league, who fell from power when he was re- called from the attorney generalship in 1920. Lemke has accused present party leaders with failing to carry out the “original league program” of government ownership and-operution of various business enterprises. Would Tax Job Holders The strength of the Farmer-Lab faction is estimated at from 11 to delegates. There are 108 delegates in the convention. Another proposal to° be considered today is one by Fred Argast, league finanee agent, to tax every Nonpart sano} and job holder to rai funds for the coming campaign.

World Court Condemned One of the final acts of last night’ session was the passage of a resolu- tion condemning the world court as a tool of international bankers. Sen- ators and others who favo: the court were branded as “dealers in in- iquity with evil their hearts.” The resolution commended the stand tak- en on the world court question by Senators Frazier ahd Nye, Ni kota; Johnson, C * Idaho, and Reed, Mi “ Consideration of @ platform and selection of candidates was scheduled to occupy the attention of the con- vention this afternoon.
