Chinese liason officers were install ed in police headquarters, The Chinese troops dispersed mob of coolies and restored order. Streets Quiet The streets immediately became quiet and were cleared of all Chinese except troops and pickets. Amer- ican volunteers who earlier mobilized and remained in their quarter of the city for emergency were demobilized and quiet was restored, All British police were withdrawn from the streets and the Chinese were in com- plete control. The situation here is growing more critical every hour. Foreigners were amazed at the withdrawal of the Brit- ish armed forces, and the feeling was that all concessions will fall into the hands of the Chinese. The po- sition <2 foreigners remaining here is decidedly insecure, All business it at a standstill. All British women and children are being taken to Shanghai.

VOLSTEAD ACT FAVORS RICH, SAYS BUTLER Originally Believed Law Ap-} plied to Everybody, But: Changes His Mind Oakland, Calif, Jan. 6—W)— Brig. General Smedley D. Butler, dis- tinguished soldier and foe of illicit alcohol, who spent months fighting graft and pootleggers as director of public safety of Philadelphia, has ppaneed his mind about the Volstead jaw. Speaking before a luncheon club here, the commander of the marines on the Pacific coast denounced the prohibition statute as class legisla- tion, saying it reacted against the poor man and favored the rich one. General Butler, who won much publicity for having the bate Colonel Alexander S. Williams, of the San Diego Marine Base, court martialled for serving cocktails at a party at which the general was the guest of honor, declared in his address yes- terday that he originally believed the Volstead act was written to apply to everybody, but that h 3 discovered that such is not the case, “Maybe I didn’t finish learning to read before I got into the marine corps, but I read this fool Volstead act as intended fo apply to every- wa he said. “it appears, however, that all it is sipposed to do is to keev liquor away from persons without influence and doesn’t apply at all to those with influence and the money to pay for in” | =A eh, a | Chaff From the - Legislative Mill ! a John W.

It looked like a steel ham- mer, such as a blacksmith uses, but investigation showed it was made of wood. \ «In ‘presenting the gavel as a gift from the Ward county delegation, J. H.

TAX LEVIES MUCH HIGHER THAN IN 1925 Comparative Figures Show Why Taxes in 1926 Are More on Same Valuation Good Morning! Did you get your tax statement? No doubt you did, as County Tre urer G. L. Spear has mailed to every taxpayer in Burleigh county within the last few days a statement of his 1926 taxes, which are now due. And since mailing, he has had time to do little else but answer the telephone and endeavor to jain one burning question-—“Why are my taxes so much higher this year than last?” With taxable valuations the same in 1926 as they were in 1925, which they are in the case of real estate since land values are assessed only once every two years, a Bismarck property ‘owner will pay $6.18 per thousand dollars of tax able valuation more this year than he did last. This is due to the fact that the rate in Bismarck for 1926 is 53.73 mills, or $53.73 per thousand dollars of taxable valuation, as com- pared with that of 47.55 mills, or $47.55 per thousand dollars of tax- able valuation, in_1925. State Levy Lowered The state tax levy for 1926 wa lowered .37 of a mill under that for 1925, but the county sate in 1926 was 1.77 mills higher The biggest boost in county levy came in the revenue fund, which had a levy in 1926 of 3.70 mills as | compared with 2. mills in 1925.

While the measure specifies that the money is to be used in areas affected by drought, the authors of the measure believe most of the loans would go to Montana, North and South Dakota and Minne- sota. The proposal carries the endorse- ment of Secretary Jardine and iarm leaders in both senate and house, “It has been recognized,” a st ment issued jointly by Norbeck and Johnson said, “that permanent relief will probably not be sccured in time to help the farmers during the 1927 crop year, “It is not the plan to request any «ift from the government. The bill only seeks to secure a loan for the farmers of the money taken from the wheat growers in 1917 and 1918 by the United States Grain corporation.’ The authors estimated that, through government price fixing in those years, wheat growers lost betweer: $2,000,000 and $6,000,000, and that mated $72,000,000. No Difference in Annual Snowfall, Says Weather Man Chigago, Jan. 6—)—Year in and year out and whatever the general opinion may be, there is as much snow nowadays as there was 25 years ago, The difference is that today thousands: of automobiles beat down the snow, and the dirt accumulated in the atmosphere above a busy world mixes with the flakes as they fall and makes them melt faster. So the seasons are not changing, Professor Henry J. Cox, government weather forecaster here, said today. CORN BORER NOW WORKING IN ILLINOIS Pest Moves Westward 150 Miles a Season—Relief Bill Quickly Reported Chicago, Jan, 6—(#)—The dread | European corn borer has entered IIli- nois, one of the greatest corn grow- ing states of the Union. Announcement by P. A. Glenn, chief inspector of the Ilinois depart: ment of agriculture, that specimens af the pests had been found in Kan- kakee county, near the Indiana border, came on the heels of congressional reef xetion. The Purnell corn borer eradication bill, carrying a $10,000,000 appropri- ation, was quickly reported yesterday to the house. agricultural committee after alarming reports of the borers’ invasion of corn growing states were received. Representative Purnell of Indiana, one of the states where the situation is critical, hopes the mea- sure will be enacted before February 1, so that control work may com- mence before the spring planting. The borer has been moving into the corn territory at the rate of 150 or more miles a season, and, according to testimony at the house agricul- tural hearing yesterday, is destroying corn in a dogen states, and is advanc- ing rapidly from Ohio and Indiana farther into the middlewest. +-—_________________ | Weather Report !

When he gets better acquainted new members such action will be un- necessary, he said. Applications for, committee posts were made Wednesday, each mem- {ber handing Carr a card stating his jpreferences.

Walter Bond, Minot, finally was elected to the’ place after W. C. Carey, Lidgerwood, had withdrawn. Until resigning from the contest Carey was regarded as the probable winner. The caucus’ convened shortly after 8 o'clock last night and a decision was not reached until 1 o'clock this ‘morning. Carey's friends contended that failure to recognize his right to the post was not only a violation of precedent but a personal affront. Basis of Carey’s Claim Carey was elected president ad interim at the close of the session two years ago and in the ordinary course of events would have served until the end of the present session. The president pro tem gets $2 a day more than the other senators. Bond based ‘his claim on the con- tention that Carey had held the job two years, from the end of the last session to the beginning of this, and that he was entitled to the place, re- gardless of the fact that Carey had (Continued on page three..
