For + und While Olson and Arens are Farmer- Laborites, the makeup of both houses 8 showed a strong preponderance of “conservative” members whose sym- pathies in the house have never been strong for third party programs or platforms. But Olson has a suffici- ency of strong supporters which to- gether with his veto power provide him an effective weapon should the need arise. Among the proposals to come up over are: Speeding up state highway building, particularly paving heavy traveled highways. Unifying state conservation agen- cies and adoption of a wide-reaching reforestation program, Consider Tax Methods Revising state taxation methods-in- cluding a proposal for a state income tax, enactment of a cigarette tax, a retail sales tax, and otherwise pro- viding new revenues to make possible reduction of farm and urban real es- tate taxes. Consideration of a state building mz to provide work for unem- ployment and to stimulate business activities. Establishment of a state police sys- tem together with other projects for tightening law enforcement according to the methods suggested by the state crime commission. Revamping of the state blue sky Jaws to make the way of the fraudu- lent stock promoters harder. ef Enactment of a state drivers’ auto- 4 8 mobile licensing law. po Amendment to laws dealing with thy. branch and chain banking.

E. ek re-election to} Wenzel, commissioner of the state compensation bureau indicated that there were 35.1 accidents reported to the bureau in 1930 for every 1000 peo- ple in Burleigh county. The average shown by Burleigh county was by far the largest in the state, the next highest being that of Cass county which had 23.2 accidents per thousand population. The most populous counties piled up the highest averages with Burleigh, Cass, Ward, Grand Forks, Morton, Stutzman, Williams and Barnes among the 10 leaders. The state average was 8.5 accidents per thousand population and only 11 counties were reported as having ex- ceeded that figure. In commenting on the statistics compiled by the bureau, Wenzel pointed out that the ratio of deaths to the total number of accidents was 44 per cent higher in 1930 than it has been for the last 10 years. He states that Cass and Burleigh counties, being so far above the gen- eral average, should be charged with the responsibility of inaugurating ef- qe’ accident prevention work for Commenting further, he says that Burleigh county really stands in a class by itself and that there seems to be no reasonable excuse for that condition. MOTT GREAMERY IS INCORPORATED Saving to Both Farmers and Consumers Prompts Reestab- lishment of Concern Mott, N. D., Jan. 6—The White City Creamery company has been in- corporated at Mott with $25,000 au- thorized capital stock, of which $12,- 000 has been subseribed and paid by local farmers and business men. At a meeting of stockholders W. E. Larson was elected president, R. E. Musser, vice president, R. A. Grant, secretary, and L, A, Vasey, treasurer. The officers with O. H. Opland were the directors elected. The new corporation has purchased the creamery and equipment estab- lished at Mott last spring by a part- nership of L. C. Nelson and W. E. Larson but which was closed at the time of the death of Mr. Nelson about two months ago. It had mar- keted 155,000 pounds of butter in the first six months of operation, and promised to be successful, While the creamery was in oper- ation farmers were receiving about tutions, the University of Minnesota| five cents on the average more per pound for butterfat and consumers were paying about five cents less per pound for butter. This is estimated to mean a gain of $25,000 per annum for the community, which induced farmers and business men to sub- scribe the necessary stock to continue In Historic Market] to creamery in operation.

Murray of the Chi- «| cago Board of Trade as a sound agri- Office and Showrooms No ‘OPEN MARKET’ SAID FOR HANDLING GRAIN Head of Chicago Board of Trade Would Provide Better cago Board of Trade issued a state- jment Tuesday in which he said a “free and open market” is the best vehicle for handling grain and added that “present facilities should not be discarded or restricted before better facilities are provided.” Mr. Murray, who takes office Mon- day as head of the exchange, did not specifically mention the suggestion that the government restrict short selling on the board of trade. “I believe,” he said, “in the Chi- cultural and commercial asset. Maintaining an open market for over 80 years, the members have assisted in the development of the greatest agricultural empire in the world. “The system of marketing and fi- nancing as devised and practiced en- ables all interests to engage in pro- duction and distribution of the crops with @ minimum or risk. This has established a corresponding minimum of conversion and marketing cost un- equaled in any other industry. “No better system has yet been devised and experience shows clearly that a free and open market is the best vehicle in disposing of the farm- ers’ grain and meeting the trend of supply and demand. “I regard the, agricultural market- ing act with its resultant farm board and stabilization corporation as an expression of congress in its effort to provide relief to agriculture. The success of the venture depends on the results accomplished. “Present facilities should not be discarded or restricted before better facilities are provided. There can be no objection to farmers soundly en- gaging in the business of handling grain or other commodities. “Many of those now engaged in the commercial handling and proc- essing of grain started life on the farm and their sympathy naturally lies with the farmer. Care must be taken in the using of government funds to treat all interests with jus- tice and consideration.” Vince Day Becomes Secretary to Olson St. Paul, Jan. 6—(P)—Vince A.

RIGHTS OF CHINESE WOMEN INCREASED Old Theory That Women Are of Little Value Thrown Into Discard Nanking, Jan. 6—(?)—Equality of men and women in, this country is provided by a law which has passed the legislative council. The law, incorporated in the civil code, is primarily intended to elevate the women of this country to the same position as that enjoyed by the women of the western world. It is known as the law of family relations. ‘The old theory that women were of little or no use other than to bear children and that girl babies had no place in the proper pattern of Chi- nese life has been discarded. The concubine is deprived of the right to share in her master’s estate and divorce laws are changed. Under the old laws, it was much easier for husband to obtain a divorce than a wife. Under the new law the grounds are the same in both cases. Unmarried daughters have the same right of property inheritance as sons. The duty of a wife to obey her husband is not recognized by law. Cripples or persons suffering from incurable diseases will not be per- mitted to marry while extreme youthful marriages are forbidden. ‘The best temporary hay plants are the small grains, either alone or in a mixture with some legume such as field peas. “Says Konjola Is Marvelous’ Aberdeen Man, Prevented from Work by Neuritis and Rheuma- tism, Finds Health in New Medicine “About nine years ago I first no- ticed that rheumatism was affecting my right hip,” said Mr. Roy Chap- man, 19 Fifth avenue, Southwest, Ab- erdeen. “The ailment became so se- vere that I had to walk with a cane. Neuritis attacked by left shoulder about four years ago. Since that time my arms and fingers have been so terribly stiff and sore that I could not. work, Constipation annoyed me con- stantly. “I have taken four bottles of Kon- jola and I sleep and rest better than I have for a long time. My bowels have been regulated and I am strong- er and more energetic. Neither rheu- matism nor neuritis have bothered me since I began taking Konjola. Kon- jola is marvelous medicine and I am recommending it to all my friends.” Taken regularly over a six to eight week period, Konjola is daily doing for thousand all that it did for Mr. ‘Chapman. Konjola is sold in Bismarck at Hall’s Drug Store, 3rd and Broadway, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire sec- tion.—Adv.

In the picture above Governor George F. Shafer, left, and Attorney General James Morris, right, are shown examining the contents of a safe which had been located in the attorney general's office on the third floor of the building. ‘While he was attorney gerieral, the governor put some records in the safe and was worried about them until the strong box was opened and they were undamaged. He is shown holding a drawer, containing letters and other documents, under his left arm. The safe, made by the Art Metal Construction company of Jamestown, N. Y., was not only subjected to the heat of the fire but fell three stories to the basement. There it was sur- rounded by burning debris for nearly 60 hours. A steam radiator and tim- bers fell on it and the exterior was damaged. The paint on the inside, however, was unharmed and the rec- ords were found to be in excellent condition. The picture below gives a close-up view of the safe just after it was opened. The records were shaken about when the safe fell but were un- damaged by the fire.
