Before the senate chamber this leading dry spokesman Monday de- nounced the prohibition resubmission plank, rejected the entire platform as inadequate and unresponsive to the demands of the people. and then, ask- ed if he would support the president on that platform, delivered his bomb- shell: “I will not.” The importance of the utterance lay in the fact that Borahs driving ¥ 7 campaign for Hoover in 1928 has been | regarded as one of the greatest in- dividual contributions to the presi- dent's election. A split between the two has been in evidence for som? time, magnified by tho senator's re- fusal to attend the party convention when the party trend on prohibition showed itself running counter to Borah's views.

Last year the ort istrict called for $296,166 for all purposes and $123,794 for its schools.

Numerous differences of opinion over the Wagner Democratic $2,000,- 000.000 bill and its various provisions were regarded as making unlikely its Passage by Tuesday might, although this objective was sought by the lead- ers. As the house is yet to be reck- oned with m conferences on the whole issue, there was doubt sufficient time would remain to reach a final Solution this week. The house, however, virtually had removed the one other substantia! barrier to adjournment through adop- tion late Monday of a modified fur- lough plan to effect the federal pay- Toll economies in. the bill slashing government expenditures. Acceptance of the house action by the senate was certain Tuesday. | That step alone was required tu |send the national economy bill to President Hoover for signature. The bill is not all that he asked for, espe- cially in the extent of power granted the executive to reorganize and re- duce bureaus and agencies of the ex- ecutive establishment, but it will re- {duce expenditures probably in suffi- jcient amount to stay within the rev- enue expected from the new tax law whose rates went into effect Tuesday. ;The items on which calculation was ; Possible will save from $150,000,000 to $175,000,000._ Many of the economy provisions, however, were not subject to estimate so the total reduction is sure to be greater. In approving the furlough plan, compelling most federal employes to take a month's leave without pay this year. the house added a scale of pay reductions for employes whose work- ing time could not be reduced. The cuts ranged from 8 1/3 per cent for i 800 salaries of $1,000 to $10,000 up to 1 per cent on salaries between $15,000 and $20,000, and 20 per cent on pay checks above that mark The fur- lough plan also was made to excep! employes making $1.000 or less.

A short while later Farley, with apparently the vofes to put in Sena- tor Walsh as permanent chairman. asked newspapermen “Why should I tell Mr. Raskob?” Arrival of Raskob stirred conven- tion activity anew. Within 24 hours Alfred E, Smith and William G. Mc- Adoo, both foes of Roosevelt, will be here. Meanwhile, Walter L. Barlow, Los Angeles, who is with McAdoo in sup- porting Speaker Garner for the pres- idency, challenged the accuracy of Roosevelt. claims which have given the New York governor a majority of the delegates. | Raskob in an interview described \prohibition as the outstanding issue of the approaching campaign “be- cause of its economic as well as social jimportance.” He called for retention of the two- thirds nominating rule so long as} states are bound by unit rules. Far-| ley again withheld a decision on the Ro elt attitude toward the two- jthirds rule but added “It is signific- ant that those opposing Roosevelt are insisting upon retention of the rule.”| The Rooseveltians are putting every | energy into a last minute drive to| | nominate the New York governor on! jthe first ballot. They are counting jon 90 of New York's 94 votes and} about 20 or 25 from Illinois to turn the trick. The decision from New York is ex- pected Wednesday when John F. Curry, Tammany leader arrives. {_ It is common gossip in the rapidly jfilling corridors about convention headquarters that the anti-Roosevelt | ‘strategy is to givé the governor his maximum strength on the first bal- tlot.

RESUBMSSTON WINS ROBINSON'S PAVOR enate Democratic Leader, Would Not Have Party | Pledge Itself, However { | Washington, June 21.—?)—Senator | Robinson of Arkansas, favors a Dem- ocratic plank advocating submission ; to the people of a prohibition repeal amendment, stripped of alternative suggestions and specifically not pledging members of the party to re- Peal. There were strong indications this Position represented closely the views | of a considerable group of Democra- | tic senators, generally Roosevelt men, who conferred on platform ques- tions at the capitol Monday. Robin- son made known his views in a for- mal statement issued after taking part in the meeting. No conclusions were adopted in the parley, all said, but Tuesday they expected to outline further their ideas on what the party should declare for next week at Chi- cago. Robinson said the Democratic ob- jective should be a prohibition de- claration, both simple and frank, to contrast with the Republican party declaration which, he said, was “in- tended to be ambiguous.” fred E. Smith's running mate four years ago, qualified his advocacy with the expression that this line should be chosen “if a plank on the subject of prohibition should be incorporat- ed.” As a dry, Robinson in the past has fought against raising the repeal is- sue. Speaker Garner issued a statement asserting the 18th amendment should be repealed and asserting his willing- mess to serve “my country and my Party to the limit of my capacity.” gas escaping from a tank car on a sid- ing at the Mount Vernon city line to- day felled 40 workmen.

"Asks Protection ° @! WILLIAM S. CULBERSTON 1 Santiago, Chile, June 21—(F)— Fear that American lives and prop- erty in Chile might be endungered by anti-foreign reaction to the Davila junta was indicated Tuesday. U. 8. Ambassador William 8. Cul- quested the government to protect American lives and property at Ran- cagua, near where the American- owned Braden copper mines are lo- cated. The ambassador said the copper company had informed him there had been anti-foreign agitation there and trouble in the streets which it was feared might spread to the mines. It was understood troops would be sent to Rancagua immediately by the junta. Although martial law was pro- claimed by the new government Monday night because, it was ex- plained, “anarchy created by the for- mer government” was exercising an “unsettling influence,” Santiago was quiet. ONLY FEW OF NEW TAX LEVIES T0 BE COLLECTED LOCALLY Most of Them Apply to Manu- factured Goods and Will Be Paid by Factory | Bismarck business men need worry about only a few of the new federal | taxes which went into effect Tues- day, according to W. G. Ray, Fargo, head of the U. S. Bureau of Internal Revenue for North Dakota. | Ray said only a few of the taxes will be collected directly from local business men since the bulk are ap-| plicable to manufactured goods andj are paid at the point of manufacture. Eight of the excises which will af- fect local business men directly were listed by Ray as follows: Electrical energy—three per cent. Bank checks and drafts—two cents each. Soda fountain goods—six cents per gallon on all “soft drinks” made at the fountain and two cents a gallon on “still drinks” (not made with car- bonated water) prepared at the fountain. Admissions—10 per cent on admis-j} sion charges over 40 cents. Telephone and telegraph—ranging from 10 cents to 20 cents for tele- phone calls and five per cent on tele- graphic messages. Papers, conveyances and deeds—50 cents for first $500 in value over $100 and 50 cents for each succeeding $500. Safe deposit boxes—10 per cent. Capital stock—tax of five cents per $100 raised to 10 cents per $100 in value. Most of the other taxes, Ray said, will be paid before the articles carry- tailers. He pointed out that practically all stock held by dealers in Bismarck at present is not subject to the tax but that the tax applies, for the most part, on goods to be manufactured from now on. Each dealer to be affected locally must make a formal report to Gunder Olson, collector, at Fargo, monthly. These reports are due one month after the closing day of the month covered in the report. Penalties are Provided for delinquencies in filing of reports and payment of taxes. Inspectors to see that the law is/ carried out will be named in the near future, Ray said, and it is not prob- able that internal revenue staffs in North Dakota will be increased be- cause of the new taxes.

NOMINATES BROWN Firemen of State The Weather Partly cloudy tonight; Wednesday PRICE FIVE CE! ain AVOWED DRYS ARE FACING DEREAT IN ALL THREE GROUPS Prohibition, Apparently Are Also-Rans Millionaire Will Make Race Against Farmer-Laborite For Governorship eet, St. Paul, “June 21.—()—Out-and out drys were threatened with defeat in all three parties in returns Tues- day from Monday's statewide Primar- {es with four incumbents appearing Slated for listing among the “also- rans.” Theodore Christianson, former gov- ernor, fulfilled the expectations of most forecasters by leading the Re- Publican ticket when more than 800 precincts of the state's 3,715 had re- Ported. Ray P. Chase, former state auditor was a close second. Magnus Johnson, former U. 8. sen- ator, swept to the front among the 35 Farmer-Laborites, with Paul John Kvale, incumbent, Lieutenant Gover- nor Henry Arens, and Ernest Lun- deen, safely headed toward nomina- tions, Einar Hoidale, who nearly defeated Thomas D. Schall for the U. 8. senate in 1930, kept well ahead in the Dem- ocratic battle with Silas M. Bryan of Minneapolis, son of Governor Bryan of Nebraska and a nephew of the late great commoner, W. J. Bryan, in the top ranking group. Selection of winners of seventh, eighth and ninth places in all three Parties was a matter of guesswork with leads shifting as regional refer- ences impressed themselves. on the mounting pile of returns. Victor A. Christgau, C. C. Selvig and Godfrey G. Goodwin, hailed by the Minnesota board of strategy, as out-and-out drys, trailed with chances strong that they will be among the eliminated. A. C. Townley, leading spirit in the Nonpartisan League during its heyday in North Dakota, was given a good chance to win a Farmer-Labor nomin- ation. Returns had him in from eighth to eleventh place with rural returns helping his lead. Earle Brown, former chief of the state highway patrol, beat back the challenge of insurgent Republican forces to win the party's nomination for governor with thousands of votes to spare. Franklin Ellsworth, Minneapolis at- torney, sponsored as Brown's oppon- ent by Tom Davis, veteran of many Political battles on both Republican and Farmer-Labor fronts, failed to challenge Brown from the earliest re- turns, Representative returns from every part of the state forecast final results would convert Brown's smashing vic- tory into landslide proportions, insur- ing the former peace officer a confi- {dent following for the general elec- tion when he will oppose Governor Floyd B. Olson, Farmer-Laborite. Ol- son was without opposition Monday and automatically was nominated. Representative John E. Regan, Mankato, apparently was the Demo- cratic nominee for governor with Arthur A. Van Dyke, St. Paul, far behind. J. P. Hegland, Minneapolis, was in third place. For Brown Monday's victory was another in a series of triumphs at the hands of voters. He served several terms as sheriff of Hennepin count; winning handily in every contest ter first accepting the post by ap- pointment after the office had been the center of a long investigatorial fire. Brown, a millionaire, a horse fan- \cier, and widely famed for his capture of three bandits who had robbed an Elk River bank a few years ago, easily fulfilled the hopes of party members looking for a strong candidate in his vote-winning demonstration. The Regan-Van Dyke battle of votes, following a bitter battle of words, proved a great drawing card for Democratic voters. Apparently jthe party recorded more votes than at any primary in which its candidates have figured for many years. Veterans in state politics whose names have become household words swept to the front in returns cover- ing congressional nominations. Gather at Kenmare Kenmare, N.
