D., Jan. 29.—(%)—Con-|" struction of a tower-type structure as North Dakota's new two-million-dol- lar capitol building is tentatively Planned by the state capitol building ‘commission, it became known here Friday. In an interview here George A.

The tower would be built strictly along the lines of @ business building, with the mon- ‘umental features reserved for the lower portion and the extension, the principal entrance to which would be through the main floor of the tower. “On the main floor of the tower and along one side of a great cathedral like hallway, leading to the legislative chamber, would be located the prin- cipal or constitutional officers of the state, such as governor, attorney gen- eral, secretary of state, and so forth, in whose offices there is certain to be |“ no great necessity for expansion in future years. “In this great hallway. where orna- BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1932 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE hanghai Affair G GENERAL FRASER 2 rows Tense .

D., Jan. 29.—()}—Govern- mental encroachment on business was assailed as directly responsible for a considerable part of increased taxa- tion by Edward F. Flynn, St. Paul, as: sistant general counsel for the Grea' Northern railway, in an address before the North Dakota Press association here Friday. Speakers on the opening day's pro- gram included H. D, Paulson, editor of the Fargo Forum; W. V. Udall, gen- eral chairman of the International Peace Picnic association, Boissevain, Man., and Fred F. Jefferis, publisher of the Washburn Leader, who gave the annual address of the president. M. H. Graham, Devils Lake, as sec- retary, reported on the Publishers Mutual Fire Insurance company, and M. I. Forkner, publisher of the Ca’ ler County Republican, gave the an: nual report of the secretary-treasurer of the press association. “The result of the government's en- croachment on business,” Flynn said, “is evidenced to a certain extent by the rapid increase in our taxes which in 1913 were $2,187,000,000 or $22.73 per + in 1923, $7,234,000,000, or $64.77 pet pita; in 1928, $9,289,000,000, or about $77 per capita; ard in 1930, $15,000,000, or $125 per capita. “It is a fact that cannot be dis- |puted that large governmental ex- Penditures upon waterways and high- ways without an accompanying levy of fair charges for their use by those who commercialize them has resulted in what we might call an oversupply of transportation facilities which in turn has forced. the railways to cut down their operating expenses, adding to unemployment. | Interested in Tax. Money “We are all vitally interested in what becomes of our tax money. With many of us it is difficult enough to pay the tax once, and to pay the same tax over again is an impo- sition and should be prevented. In the state of North Dakota aloxe there are hundreds of thousands of dollars, Perhaps more than one million dol- lars, that have been paid for taxes, involved in banks which have failed. |Some of this money belongs to coun- |tles, some to school districts and some to other municipal corporations. If the municipal corporation has been care- ful in procuring ample security for tax money deposited in various banks, then it is likely that this tax money will be saved. “In hundreds of instances, however, throughout North Dakota municipal officers have been careless in procur- ing proper security for their bank de- posits and because of this, large sums of tax money will be lost and will have to be paid over again. In other in- stances members of the school board contrary to law have signed bonds, and in some instances members of school boards being friendly with those who become sureties on bonds securing tax money deposits hesitate or refuse to enforce by law or other- wise the payment of the money thus secured. “In two counties alone on the Great, Northern railway in North Dakota there was probably $250,000 of the people's tax money in banks when such banks failed. Expect Free Publicity “Many of those who purchase stamped envelopes from the govern- ment with corner cards printed there- on expect the small town newspaper which has a job printing plant, to fur- nish a certain amount of publicity free. They expect the newspaper to publish columns.of items boosting the city. On the whole people are fair and reasonable, but in this respect perhaps they need some education. “The act creating the Federal Trade commission contains the declaration that ‘unfair methods of competition in commerce are unlawful.’ “I maintain that the activity of the government in manufacturing or pro- curing the manufacture of envelopes and the printing of corner cards thereon and the sale thereof and the carrying on of transportation and oth- er. private business is method of competition in commerce and unlawful.” In his report as president of the defferis recom- Eight Are Slain and Cremated in House Two other Sitar children are in wounds, r Press Association Meeting in Minot wie: | Pe enebenieiercat Senta ees Ii Scene of Trouble ‘ pilsvtcthinbs) tele rich ri A The above map shows the position of Shanghai on the Woosung river, and also the immediate territory sur- rounding the Chinese city which has| been occupied by the Japanese, to the alarm of the United States, Great Britain, Russia and other powers. WAGE-CUTTING PLAN OF UNIONS SPURNED BY RAIL PRESIDENTS Compromise Proposal of Six and One-Half Per Cent Re- duction Is Refused Chicago, Jan. 29.—()—A comprom- ise proposal that railway labor take a 6% per cent cut in wages for a year was refused by the railway presidents Friday. ‘The presidents likewise turned down @ suggestion advanced by the Broth- erhood of Railroad Trainmen that the | railroads refrain from any attempt to trim wages for a year after the 12-) month reduction. Four propositions were offered the ra{lroad presidents’ committee of nine by the 20 Brotherhoods and Unions, whose aid the carriers had asked in a} demand for a 10 per cent wage reduc- | tion to relieve the straitened finan-. cial status of the lines. Each was re- Jected. In a half hour's session with the la- bor chairman the presidents said they | could not accept their propositions, and the employes’ delegation with- drew to resume its considerations. The third proffer of labor called for a 6% per cent deduction from pay checks for a year; then an additional deduction of 3% per cent which would | be repaid to the empolyes or their) heirs each month during the following year. The basic rates were to remain the same. ' The fourth alternative was the de- duction of 6% per cent from the pay envelope for 12 months with no limit | to its use by the lines. The railroads then might deduct an additional 3% per cent, the resulting funds to be al- located between the Brotherhoods and the railroads to provide unemploy- ment relief either by hiring more men! or by direct relief to furloughed em-j Ployes. { MDONNELL NAMED BY ADVISORY BOARD, N.

(7 a. m. E. 8. T.) between the Chinese and Japanese at Shang- hai was reported to the state de- partment Friday afternoon by American Consul General Edwin 8. Cunningham. Cunningham's report was giv- en credence at the state depart- ment despite Japanese denials in Shanghai that one had been ef- fected. (By The Associated Press) The battle of the Chapei section of Shanghai, which has raged practical- ly continuously since last midnight when the Japanese invaded the city, had become a virtual massacre Friday as leaping flames and roaring air bombers withered the place with de- struction. Onlookers who thronged the roof tops of skyscrapers in Shanghai's business section throughout the day to watch the area become a shambles of terror and death said the slaughter among the 200,000 Chinese inhabi- tants was enormous. Japanese airplanes soared over the spot every 20 minutes releasing a thundering mass of bombs against which the Chinese were powerless to defend themselevs except with their feeble rifles and machine guns.
