i FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1929 MINOT MEN DEBATE ON BOOST IN TAXES Rockefeller Dime Helps Girl Golfer 4 FOR RIVER CONTROL sss Five Favor Permission to Con- trol Mouse; Three Con- demn Further Taxes Minot’s flood and political troubles were aired at the meeting of the state eenate’s state affairs committee this morning. The committee had under consid- eration the Minot flood conservancy bill and heard @ lot of words on the subject, including an impassioned against the measure by Attor- ney E. B. ei acene Wi - pe Five Minot citizens who favored bill appeared before the committee and two of them talked. They were Attorney Robert Bosard and 8. J. La- due, representing the Minot Associa- tion of Commerce. Three Minot residents appeared against the bill. In addition to Mc- Cutcheon they were Charles Stevens, who described Himself as a laboring man, and City Commissioner Nap La Fleur. Not all of them had a chance to talk and the committee will hold an- other hearing tomorrow at. which the arguments will be concluded. The committee adopted several amendments to the measure as passed by the house, offered by Senator Walter Bond, Minot, who said they were intended for the protection of the taxpayers. Bosard and LaDue said Minot has had four floods in five years and that flood prevention is necessary to the development of the city and protect the flooded property. They contend- ed that the bill, in its present form, is loaded down with safeguards to make sure that the taxpayers will ap- prove whatever flood prevention ac- tion may be taken and keep full con- trol of the project under their control. ‘They said the bill merely would per- mit the people of Minot to take action to relieve themselves of the flood menace if they saw fit. McCutcheon and LaFleur asked de- 4 feat of the bill on the ground that it would save Minot taxpayers some time and money in beating the flood control project when it came to a vote of Minot citizens. Each predicted that defeat of any project was cer- tain. ‘ La Fleur contended that taxes al- ready are too high and the city al- ready has too many em- powered to levy taxes. They said the people living in the low distric are working people who could ill ai ford a tax increase and that most of the burden of paying for a flood con- trol project would fall on them. Congress recently has appropriated $10,000 for a survey of Mouse river floods, they said, and suggested that the federal government might take action to relieve the flood situation without cost to the citizens of Minot. ‘They charged that advocates of the bill were attempting to “rusir it through” without giving the people of Mirtot-an opportunity to know what it proposed. Sponsors of the measure denied that any effort was being made to rush the matter through or to “grease the skids” for the bill as charged by McCutcheon. _ STATE FUR INDUSTRY ENCOURAGED BY BILL Prospects for the expansion of the fur-breeding industry in North Da- ‘> kota are bright today as a resu't of legislation passed during the present sccz'on, according to M. B. Chac>, &t. John, president of the North D-tota €‘ver Fox and Fur Producers associ- ation. + A senate bill, passed by both V. ches of the legislature and now lacking only ‘ -vernor George F. Shafer’s signature, would give owners of foxes the sam? rights enjoy:d by o of othe: domesticated anti- and would preve t further en- czzachments on the rights of the fur-growers. Th: senate bill, which was intro- duced by Senators Renauld, Rolette county, and Bond, Ward coun: cvuntered rough waters. before it parsed be’, houses, however, Chase BILL PASSES HOUSE BY VOTE OF 283-90 Year Prison Sentence Pro- vided for First Prohibition Law Violators Mar. 1—(P)—Ap- Proved by both houses, the Jones bill today needed only the president's sig- nature to become a law. The meas- ure was passed by the house yester- day by the one-sided vote of 283 to 90. The bill provides as a maximum Penalty for a first violation of the Prohibition iaw. five years in prison, or @ fine of $10,000, or both. Discre- tionary power is given federal judges to discriminate between minor and |P major offenders. Introduced by Senator Jones, Re- Publican, of Washington, the meas- the issue between the wets and drys was well defined. A few drys were against it because they thought the law too stringent, but very few, as the votes showed. While it was in the seate it precipitated a debate between Reed, of Missouri, and Borah, of Idaho, but al! the Missourian’s eloquence did not keep the bill from Passing the senate by almost as large @ margin, comparatively speaking, as it did the house. During the debate on the bill in the house, F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, sat in one section of the gal- lery, while in another section were representatives of the association against the prohibition amendment. Dr. McBride's presence was noted by Representative O'Connor, Democrat, New York, in an attack upon the bill. Representative O'Connor intimated that the advocates of the Jones meas- ure were not supporting the consti- tution but were passing the bill be- cause of the “Anti-Saloon league, whose leader and whose dictator sits T/ANNE MAY BE ABLE TO RUN LINDBERGH HONEYMOON PLANE Aviator Sweetheart Believed to Be Teaching His Future Wife to Pilot Ship Mexico City, March 1—(AP)— This capital was inclined today to the belief that Miss Anne Morrow might be an aviatrix before she be- came Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh and might be able to take her turn at running a honeymoon plane. There is, however, nothing new to indicate when her marriage to the ansatlantic flight here will take place. But friends see in events of the past two days possibility that eid Lindbergh is teaching ther to fly. Miss Morrow’s known enthusiasm for the air and the quickness with which she submitted to “army medi- cine” yesterday after her crash of Wednesday lent foundation to indi- cations that she wishes, and soon tf be able, to handle a plane her- self. Flying to the exclusion of almost everything else has been Colonel Lindbergh’s life. It is regarded as not improbable that Miss Morrow herself wishes to fly. Some significance is given to her poem “Height,” winner of a Smith College alumnae priz “I pushed m: gainst the blue, Still, like ging Lark, I find— Rapture to leave the grass behind, And sometimes, standing in a crowd, My lips are cool against cloud.” Yesterday’s three flights so soon after the crash of Wednesday were in line with the procedure regularly followed in the army for young pu- ils after their it smash-ups, that Is, to get them into the air agi soon as possible and thus restore their cot nce in themselves and their machines. This, it is pointed out, may have been exactly what Colonel Lindbergh had in mind for Anne. E Colonel Lindbergh and Anne will return to Mexico City on Tuesday. |@ Further definite assurance has been given in authoritative sources that there will be no secret wedding. There has been no intimation of the Colonel’s plans after his return though he has demonstrated his ability to fly with one arm it is not believed he will attempt anything so arduous a flight to the United States til his shoulder, now wrapped in bandage with his arm in a sling is much improved. This, it is said, is probably a matter of 10 days.
