SURVEY BOARDFOR |Negro Soldier Runs __ PHILIPPINES BILL REVISION OF STATE | Amuck, Killing Four INITIATIVE STATUTE Points to ‘Abuses’; Would Eli- minate Presidential Pri- mary Election SAY ELECTIONS ‘UNWIELDY’ Also Recommends Four-Year Rather Than Two-Year Terms For Electives Calling attention to what it terms “abuses” of the initiative laws, the governmental survey commission re- Port, now in the hands of the gover- nor, recommends immediate correct- ive measures, In six terse pages the commission makes a series of recommendations to eliminate waste and to cut expense, thereby decreasing the burden to the taxpayers of North Dakota. It would have more of the minor offices appointive er than elec- tive, to cut down the increasing amount of work placed upon election boards. It would make many of the elective offices for four years, rather than for two, to increase efficiency and to cut election costs. It would eliminate the presidential primary described by the commission as a “farce”, with its average cost of 68 cents for each vote cast. It would simplify registration of voters in cities and shunt distribution of election supplies from the county sheriff to distribution by parcel post. Referring to the initiative, the re- Port says that “in many instances, the initiative has been used to bring before the voters matters which had not previously been submitted to the legislature, and often not of sufficient importance to justify the expense.” The commission recommends that “it woujd be wise if the number of (Continued on page ten) N. D, FARMERS 70 MEET NEXT MONTH Dell Willis Announces He Has New Scheme For Reestab- lishing Agriculture Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 30.—(P)— Dell Willis of Tolna, originator of the “dollar wheat” idea, Friday announ- ced a state-wide meeting of persons interested in the movement will be held here sometime in January, at | eg which time plans for marketing next year’s wheat crop will be discussed. In announcing. the meeting, Willis urged the support not only of farmers, but of every profession and industry in making successful the plan, which would be national in scope and oper- ation. Willis stated he has formulated a plan, as yet unannounced, based on sound business principles, which will place agriculture on a par with other industries. The plan will not only benefit the wheat grower, Willis said, but will af- fect the raisers of all other farm com- modities. At first, only wheat would be handled by his organization, he Willis said the plan has been re- vised somewhat, and intentions are to organize in township, county, state and national units. The endorsement of both business men and farmers is desired, he said. “We have been inactive for some time because we haye been revising the ‘dollar wheat’ plan,” Willis said. “We believe now that we. have a plan that will stabilize the price, auto- matically take care of over-produc- tion, and also will be self-supporting ‘as soon as it becomes operative.” The date of the meeting will be an- nounced soon, Willis said.

Among the union employes, the printers themselves have applied the five-day week, each printer donating his sixth working day to an unem- Ployed printer. ‘The trial, which began three months ago, applied to the editorial, account- ing and auditing, advertising and ad- ministration departments, and part of the circulation department. The News found during the summer that by staggering work each employe could take a two-week vacation with- out extra help being employed. This led to the decision to give the plan a trial at other times of the year. “We wondered,” the News said Fri- day, “whether this scheme couldn't be made to work all year so that everybody could have two consecutive days off a week. We have found that it can.” COTTON ESTIMATE SHRINKS Washington, Dec. 30.—(?)—World Fall River, Mass., Dec. 30.—(?)—|cotton production for the 1932-33 sea- ‘Four masked bandits Friday held up|son was estimated Friday by the de- and robbed three clerks of the $21,000/partment of agriculture at 24,000,000 payroll of a Parkwright mill. bales, the smallest in five years.

S. Would Be Limited Annual- ly in Measure Washington, Dec. 30.—(#)— The question of granting independence to the Philippine Islands after a 10- year transitional period was put squarely up to President Hoover Fri- day, with many predicting his dis- approval. By 171 to 16, the house late Thurs- day passed the compromise bill and sent it to the white house to await action by the chief executive when he returns from a southern fishing trip. Some Republican leaders and oth-! ers who have followed the course of Philippine independence. were in-| clined to believe that Hoover would! not sign the measure. Among his advisers, Secretary Hurley has been the most outspoken in opposition to freedom at this time. Hurley made a trip to the islands! @ year ago and reported his findings to the president. After hearing them, Hoover told newspapermen: “Independence tomorrow without assured economic stability would re- sult in the collapse of Philippine gov- ernment revenues and the collapse of all economic life in the islands.” That was his last direct statement on the subject. Those who say he might approve the present bill point to the 10-year trial period and the Provisions designed to help the islands attain stability in the interim. Leaders in the Philippines were divided in their attitude. Manuel Quezon, president of the insular sen- ate, called the measure a “joke,” as- serting it would provide a “fictitious! independence.” A meeting of island legislators adopted a resolution say- Filipinos was based on the 10-year clause and retention of naval bases by the U. S. Freedom for the islands has been advanced in this country for many years as a farm relief measure. Un- der the bill approved Thursday tar- iff-exempt exports to the U. 8. would be limited annually to 50,000 tons of refined and 800,000 tons of raw sugar; £00,000 tons of cocoanut oil and 3,000,- 000 pounds of fibers during the tran- sition period and in the sixth year export taxes would be applied as a means of paying off Philippine in- debtedness. A presidential veto for the Philip- Pine bill was forecast reluctantly Fri- day by Senator Bingham. Bingham expressed the opinion that. “if this bill is not made effective, a worse one will be passed next time be- cause of the selfish interests in agri- culture.” Indians Will Honor Late Mandan Woman Cannon Ball, N.
