D., are back of senate bill No. 112. ‘The bill proposes methods of assessing benefits and damages in the construc- tion. It might be termed “a bill to build railways by improvement dis- tricts.” The Portal-Rapid City project is the old Dakotah Southern, incorporated in South Dakota about the time of the World war and re- incorporated in South Dakota by amended articles filed December 15, 1928, et Pierre, S. D. The capital is set at $90,000,000. Canadian capital- ne are purported to be behind the ine. ‘The proposed line is drawn through the lignite area of North Dakota and ths projectors are placing consider- ab’: hope on this business to provide 1° » proposed line with traffic if it is brought to the stage of building. It has been surveyed and six miles of the roadbed graded, at Roseglen. ‘The projectors lay stress on the fact that Rapid City would provide con- tact with three big roads for handling their freight north to Canada. These roads are the Burlington, the Mil- waukee, and the Northwestern, the latter from Minneapolis by one line and from Omaha by another. Con- tact is also made with the N. P., S00 Line, and Great Northern in North Dakota. The length of the Le pei line is 446 miles, with a branch running out of Running Water, 20 miles north of Elbowoods, east to Raub, then on to Roseglen and north to Douglas, thence on to connect with the Great North- ern at the high bridge west of Minot, @ length of 72 miles. “inked to Canadian Lines The main line, as proposed, is to pass by way of Lignite, Power Lake, Ross, Van Hook, Elbowoods, Dunn Center, Emerson, Dickinson, Havelock, Bucyrus on the main line of the Mil- waukee, and on into South Dakota. In that state the line is drawn to take in Strool, Morrow River, Bixby, Stone- ville, Chalk Buttes, Haydraw, Belle Fourche river, to Bend and Rapid City. RAILROAD PROJECT ‘The Canadian Pacific and Canadian National raflways are understood to be building from Northgate to Portal. They would thus connect with the proposed Dakotah Southern, should it be built. Made Economic Policy Measure The aim of the bill is understood to be to obtain assistance from the farmers along the line. The company would take subscriptions of say $1 or $2 per acre of their land holdings, as a@ matter of benefits. The farmers would be allowed to pay this in in- stallments with their taxes by court wansferring the subscriptions to their tax assessment, to be collected by the counties along with their taxes. A farmer with 640 acres who would sub- scribe $640 would pay at the rate of $64 a year. The caption declares it a bill “for tion or the giving struction of a railroad for the pur- pose of developing the resources and improving the economic facilities of the state of North Dakota is a public purpose, and that special assessments according to benefits received nay be made upon the property benefited thereby, and providing for the making and collection of such special assess- ments for that purpose.” : Would Pay Grading at Least It provides that on petitions signed by not less than 50 residents not ex. ceeding ten miles distant from ally | proposed railroad, the district court of a county may create an improve- ment district based on the idea of benefits to the land and property in the petitioning area—however, only after ascertaining that the plan em- bodies actual economic development for the state. The court can then assess benefits and collect assess- ments. A commission of three is to be appointed to work out the assess- ment amounts. Once approved by court ar 1 filed, such assessments be- come a valid lien on the asscssed property. The amount of moncy that could be obtained from farmers along the pro- posed line, it is calculated, would’ for the surveys and grading, at least. Farmers along the proposed route are represented to be in favor of putting some money into the project, in order to get the line built.

The amendments were accepted after an unsuccessful attempt nud been made to revise the measure to give the president authority to sus- pend building of the cruisers if an agreement should be reached between principal nations to define the rights of belligerents and neutrals at sea. Representative Huddleston, Democrat, Alabama, proposed the change, but Chairman Britten of the house naval committee refused to yield him the floor to permit the amendment to be offered. The war department bill was taken up yesterday, the Carraway bill to regulate future-trading in cotton and grains being shelved for it. Four supply measures are in con- ference, the first deficiency bill and those for the agricultural and interior departments and for independent of- fices. The house has yet to pass the $347,000,000 navy supply bill, but may send it to the senate before the week is out. Two other appropriation meas- ures are on the house list, the second deficiency bill and that for legislative expense funds. ‘The house appropriations commit- tee faced the second deficiency bill today, and the ways and means com- mittee had the usual tariff hearings. The house interstate commerce com- mittee was concerned with a bridge measure, military affairs with the Madden Muscle Shoals bill, expendi- tures with veterans’ affairs, and In- dian affairs faced its regular meeting. Charges of mismanagement of In- dian reservations and of abuse of Indian children were made yesterday before the senate Indian affairs com- mittee.

The measure now goes to the president. The rivers affected include Mouse river, North Dakota.

WOOLEN GOODS MAN ASKS HIGHER DUTY Washington, Feb. 7.—(4)—Declaring conditions in the wool manufacturing industry are similar to those in the cotton textile business, Ni iniel Stevens. vice president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, today advocated additional tariff pro- tection for high-grade woolen yarns and fabrics. Mr. Stevens told the house ways and means committee that, based on the Present raw wool duty, low-grade woolen manufactured produgts have sufficient protection, but that some of the finer yarns and fabrics needed slightly higher duties because of the relatively large labor costs. A con- siderable percentage of the looms of the industry, he said, have suffered from importations of mixed goods. The only rate the witness suggested was an increase of 10 per cent in the differential between woolen fabrics and finished garments. Stevens said that since the Payne-Aldrich law the hourly wage in the industry had ad- vanced more than 200 per cent and working hours had decreased approxi- mately 20 per cent.
