Bismarck, and G. A. Fraser of SHARP KNIFE FALLS ON MONEY BILL FOR FOUR DEPARTMENTS Préhibition Buréau Funds Not Cut, However, in Appro- priation Measure Washington, Feb. 15.—(P)—All im- portant divisions of the state, justice, commerce and labor departments, except the prohibition bureau, felt the sharp scythe of economy in their $124,713,000 supply bill for next fiscal year, reported Monday to the house. The Democratic-controlled appro- priations committee cut $5,070,000 off the budget estimates of $129,784,000, but left untouched the request for $11,369,500 for the dry enforcement unit, the same amount appropriated for the current year. However, it disclosed the budget bureau had re- duced the original prohibition bureau request for $13,605,000, by disallow- ing an increase from 2,000 to 2,500 in the number of dry agents. Total budget estimates for the fis- cal year 1933 were $14,287,000 less than 1932 appropriations. Most of this came off the commerce depart- ment, largely because of reduced needs of the census and lighthouse bureaus and the aeronautics branch. This department was allowed $44, this year, and $586,000 below the bud- t. The state department received lotment was $1,484,000 less than bud- get estimates. Immigrants Are Reduced Tendick is being held by Valley City officers. An inquest was sched-' uled for Monday morning. { Tendick, 17 years of age, told State's | Attorney Roy Ployhar that he was at) home with his mother and other| members of the family when Ruud | entered the home about 7 o'’colck. He} said Ruud hed been drinking. | ‘When Ruud and his wife began to; quarrel, Tendick said he ran up town to get Marshal Melvin Olson to stop | them. The marshal was in church so Tendick returned. The couple still) was quarreling but. no harm had been done, Tendick said. He thought his mother was in great | danger, he said, so he went upstairs to get an unloaded .38 calibre revolver from a bureau drawer, placed four} shells in-the chamber of the gun, and returned downstairs. i While standing in the living room watching his mother and step-father | quarrel, Tendick said, Rudd started! for him and he ran out on the porch, shot which struck Ruud in the abdo-; men. A second shot missed. Ruud was rushed to a Valley City hospital,’ where he died a short time later. Tendick said that although the! porch door was open and he could have eluded Ruud he shot his step-| father because he believed his mother to be in grave danger. Appeal Is Planned {and $172,000 below the current ap- | Propriations. In Cannon Charges a The labor department was given $14,329,000, a cut of $155,000 in the budget estimates and $655,000 less than current appropriations. Of this, $10,569,000 is for the immigra- tion service, which reported a sharp decline in entrants and an exodus of foreigners through a drive on aliens and because of the business situa- tion. For the justice department $51,- 056,000 was set aside. This is $2,- 844,000 below the budget estimates ‘The report, drafted by Represent- ative Oliver of Alabama, chairman |of the subcommittee in charge of the ‘bill, said the appropriation for the prohibition bureau was the only item in the bill over which there was dis- agreement. Representative Tinkha!

It is a composite structure that has been determined up- on, with the capitol unit proper caring for the state legislature and certain constitutional officers, and with the administration the purely administrative units In its announcement of the design, the capitol commission members, George A. Bangs of Grand Forks, Fred L. Conklin of Fargo, declare their lang study of the problems involved in the construction of the capitol has convinced them that the type of building finally developed meets every requirement of the state. Estimates laid before the commission by the architects are such as to indicate that the building will be constructed for a figure well within $2,000,000 appropriation that has been made. In the matter of floor ee the building provides 130,000 square feet, contrasted to 65,000 feet in the old building and which was admittedly cramped, inefficient and unsanitary. In its initial cost, the type of building adopted is far below the costs involved in the construction of the monumental type, and it has the added advantage of being low in maintenance cost in the years to come. s The new capitol, for the of description, falls naturally Tato two units: The capitol proper and the administration section. To be con- structed on a site somewhere west and north of the site of the old cap- itol, and facing south towards the city of Bismarck, the structure will have an all over frontage of 390 feet, with the capitol unit to the west, and the administration-unit rising at the east end to a height of 234 feet. To ‘Have’ Great Entrance The great entrance to the building, opening directly upon a memorial hall |of splendid proportions onthe first {floor, and leading to the legislative section and to the administration unit, will become one of the impres- sive features of the building. The approach is over a rise of 13 feet, with @ width of 72 feet, marked by a Series of easy steps and terraces. Entering the Memorial hall, from which will open the offices of the governor, the attorney general and the secretary of state, these latter are reached by a turn to the right, while a turn to the left will carry the visitor directly to the legislative halls —the chambers of the house and the senate, located on either side of the hall at the extreme west end. The old monumental type of butld- ing, common until recent years, with Nebraska and Louisiana the first states to recognize the fact that such buildings are wasteful, extravagant and inefficient, was discarded by the capitol commission early in its stu- dies, on the theory that the condi- tions under which capitols are being constructed today, and the require- ments to be met in the housing of a state government, are entirely differ- {ent from those that prevailed when the old type was prevalent. Conditions Have Changed In those earlier days, state govern- ments were very limited in their scope. There were, as a rule, the few constitutional officers, the legislature and the judiciary, but that day has passed and this was one of the main considerations in the capitol commis- sions’ decision to adopt the type of structure that has been approved. Compared to the “popular” styles of capitol architecture, the type adopted for North Dakota effects a tremend- ing space, a potent factor involved in any construction project for which a limited amount of money is available.
