The association went on record as “favoring the ecare of the capital at Bismarck ani encourage every ter to cast his ballot against re- ‘The gathering also went on record 4m favor of a fixed wage scale for teachers in consolidated school as set ‘up in a report submitted by J. F. Wildfang, H. L. Belk, and Elmer Koon, members of the resolutions committee. Under the recommendations em- ‘bodied in the report, principal's sal- 125 per ahonth, assistant principal’s at $100, nd grade school teacher’s at $00. It jwas stipulated, however, that in some “@ases variations of from $10 to $15 ight be made as conditions war- inted. The scale was applicable to OWefirst class consolidated schools. ‘The hiring of married women whose » husbands are engaged in gainful oc- cupations was frowned on by the as- sociation, who passed a resolution urging members to discourage the practice.

Thoresen followed with a speech in which he pledged his support to Langer. ¥ Platform Is Adopted Adoption of a platform and reso- lutions cleared the way for consider- ation of indorsement of candidates tor state and congressional offices. Outstanding among the resolutions approved was one which calls for banking facilities embodied in the Bank of North Dakota, and pledging tne convention to establishing such banking facilities “when we get con- trol of the industrial commission” and “when the people demand them by & majority vote.” Debate broke loose on the request of the committee of 15 to give the committee extended powers to deal with the progressives, The committee requested it be giv- en authority to pledge the convention to certain indorsements in dealing with the progressive group, but this was voted down in a motion which instructed the committee to continue its negotiations and to report. The branch banking resolution stirred up considerable debate but fi- nally was approved, 45 to 16, “We wish to call to the attention of the people of North Dakota the means at their disposal for banking facilities embodied in the Bank of North Da-| kota law and pledge ourselves that when we get control of the industrial commission to grant such facilities to any county where additional facilties are needed and when the people demand them by a majority vote.” The industrial commission is composed of the governor, attorney general and commissioner of agricul- ture and labor. The platform adopted by the convention reads: “We reiterate our faith in the they should spirit of fairness to the people of the state. “This requires further: “Rigid economy in state admin- istration. “Reduction of taxes and a fair distribution of the tax burdens. “Abolitiners it of wnnecessary “Consolidation of departmental activities to avoid duplication of bd ty-five i “Twenty-1 per cent exemp- assessed value bringing in the branch banking resolu- tion without recommendations, stated the resolution was to in- trom, Traill county, opposed the resolution, declaring it “gives the other fellows ammunition with which to kill us off.” ‘This remark was taken as a refer- ence to the situation four years ago. when branch banking was indorsed: Some adherents of T.

Thoresen, if Aa inte wv i Li t E. 2 ali gf of “Progressive Voters League” was Tejected overwhelmingly. ‘Text of resolutions adopted follow: . “We, the delegates to the Nonparti- san League state convention, condemn ‘the extravagance of the Shafer ad- ministration and the LV.A.-controlled legislature.

V. A, amended the hail insurance law so that it seriously crippled the state hail insurance department by making the law almost unworkable: “Now, therefore, be it resolved, that this convention demands the amend- ment of the present law so that it will be made to work for the benefit of the farmers,” fe “We pledge our continued support to the Bank of North Dakota and de- Plore the fact that this institution, under its present management, is not of more real service to the people of the state. “We pledge our support and contin- ued cooperation towards the promo- tion and development of the state mill ‘and elevator and terminal at Grand Forks.” Urge Bank Examination “We urge a thorough examination into the administration of closed banks to the end that the administra- tion thereof be expedited and the de- positors be given greater returns up- on their deposits with less delay.” “We indorse the initiated amend- ment to the absent voters’ law now before the people to be voted on at the March presidential preference Primaries and urge all progressive voters to vote for it.” * “We recommend an exemption of 25 per cent: of the assessed value to each legal farm homestead occupidd by the owner, to the end that the ownership of farm homes may be en- couraged.” “We condemn the practice of so- liciting and accepting political contri- butions from individuals and corpora- tions outside the state. “Whereas the congress of the U. §. has just passed a $2,000,000,000 re- construction bill to aid industrial agencies, and whereas the congress of ithe U.S. passed the Glass-Steagall bill to further assist industries, “We, the delegates of the Nonpart- isan League in convention assembled on this second day of March, 1932, do respectfully petition congress to pass the Frazier farm relief bill at the earliest possible moment and without further delay, since this bill has been before congress now for two terms, and we ask that the administration keep its platform promises and put agriculture on a basis of equality with other industries.” Trio Is Indorsed “We indorse the splendid work done by our Senator Gerald P. Nye as chairman of the committee investi- gating campaign expenditures of can- didates for election to the U. S. sen- ate and feel confident that the revel- ations made by his investigation will have a wholesome effect and that, in the future, the practice of spending huge sums and virtually buying the United States senatorship will be dis- continued.” “We point with pride to the excel- lent record made in congress by Sen- ators Lynn J. Frazier and Gerald P. Nye and Representative J. H. Sin- clair.” “We pledge our support to the Nye bill now in congress to the end that the tax on property and real estate be materially reduced.” “We favor old-age pension and un- employment and industrial insurance and therefore favor and indorse the Brookhart bill known as 8. B. 8-3675, which is also_known as a railway em- Ployees national pension plan.” . O. B, Stray, Mountrail, objected briefly and the viva voce vote was The by-laws committee recom- mended that instead of meeting at ting place open, and to change the by-law which sets the state meeting at a date prior to March 10. The recommendation was to permit the executive commit- tee t the date and choose the city. 8. E, Ellsworth, Jamestown, chair- man of the committee, presented the recommendation. The amendments to the by-laws were adopted with only a few oppo- sition votes.

He said he wanted the police search to con- tinue, and he expressed satisfaction with the manner in which it has' been conducted. At the same time, Col.

The saving on mileage if the capital were located at Jamestown does not offset the increased cost of ‘the freight on coal to that city, he said. He asserted that the entire movement was “conceived in a hell of Private greed; has the color of the a) pit and is founded on a le.’ The state's tranquillity is threat- ened, he said, because if the removal movement succeeds, it would thereup- on become proper for one community to make war upon another and the state would subscribe to a “ by plunderers that it adopt the ethics of a highwayman.” ‘Overwhelm Brigandage’ It is the duty of North Dakotans, he ‘said, not only to defeat the proposal ‘but to do it so decisively that brigan- dage will be overwhelmed. Duemeland reported on the effort made to raise money for the cam- paign. He said the work is coming along satisfactorily but that the job really belongs to every citizen. He asked anyone who cared to do so to con- tribute to the campaign fund or to sign a pledge card. Cox told of the difficulty experi- nced by the publicity committee in “boiling down” to reasonable length the arguments available for this city in its campaign. There were so many, he said, that they would have filled a book. The first work of the commit- tee, he said, was to tell Bismarck’s story in the state publicity pamphlet, which goes to every registered voter in the state. In addition, he said, ad- vertisements were in newspaper and another advertisement now is being sent out by the com- mittee, Stresses Letter Writing Special emphasis was placed upon the value of the letter-writing cam- paign which gives every citizen an op- Portunity to take part in the campaign and the need for continuing this drive ‘was stressed. The problem now, Cox ‘said, is to educate people to the fact that, if they wish to keep the capital at Bismarck, they must vote “No” on the proposed amendment. He em- phasized that some persons friendly to Bismarck were uncertain as to just how to vote in order to register their sentiments. Persons writing to friends or rela- tives in cities where state institutions are located were asked to emphasize the fact that, although these institu- tions are listed on the ballot, a vote against capital removal is not a vote ‘against them, since they already are located by the constitution, which Jamestown seeks to change.

LOST ARTICLES IS THEME OF OPERETTA “Palace of Carelessness,” Is dolly Entertainment Given By William Moore Pupils An entertainment .with a moral, well concealed, but nevertheless ob- vious enough so that ever: the implication, was “The Carlessness”, presented Thursday evening at the high school auditor- ee by pupils of the William Moore school. In two scenes, the production|;, throughout was notable for the ex- cellent stage presence of the small actors and the effective costume! The,story dealt with mislaid articl and toys which have found their way to the palace of carelessness, to a- wait their owners. Its gay theme was embellished with whimsical bits of satire and by-play on the part of the toy characters, while a note of comedy was introduced by James Coates in the guise of a monkey and Charles Shafer, who portrayed the organ grinder. From the moment the show open- ed with the clock dance until the final curtain interest was sustained and songs, dialogue and dances car- 1 |Tied the action forward rapidly. James Shirek as the Fat Clock; Jackie Fox as the Alarm Clock; and Vernon Peterson as Mr. Clock, to- gether with the wrist watches, Ca- mille Wachter, Joan Morton and Edna Lyngstad, formed a jolly sex- tet as they sang, “I'm a Tired, Tired Ticker.” Lost Articles Make Merry The first act had for its setting a room in the palace of carelessnes: where at midnight the lost articl gather to talk over their adventures and make merry. A song and dance by Audrey Waldschmidt, dressed as Dolly Dimples and a drill by first and second grade boys as toy soldiers were enthusiastically received. The small soldiers, garbed in red trou ers, blue coats and tall black cap: drilled smartly and appeared bi tween the two scenes to sing about George Washington. Other numbers in this scene re- ceiving well-deserved applause were a dance by the chorus of stick cand- ies, formed of third and fourth grade every | boys, with George Janda, Jr., a8 soloist; a black face specialty, “Ther’s a Ticklin’ in Mah Toes”, well executed by the fifth and sixth grade boys; a novel umbrella chorus, with parasols of every color to represent those forgotten daily by careless owners, with Mary Elizabeth Davis as the umbrella; Teddy Arntson in a Teddy Bear dance; and a chorus of vegetables, composed of second and third grade pupils, who complained in a melancholy little song about al- ways being in a stew. Features Singing Jury The second act was laid in a court- room, where John Lyngstad as the judge thumped his gavel lustily as he called the cases in rapid succes- sion. Rufus Lumry as the bailiff handled his part with dignity amd announced the arrivals in a voice calculated to be heard throughout the court. A jury which gave its decis- ions in song was a novel feature. The it case presented was that of the organ grinder, Charles Shafer, who had lost his monkey. He won a verdict in favor of himself and the sympathy of the court as well.
