State Treasurer Alfred 8. Dale recommended to the state legislature in a special message Saturday after-| noon that a system of scrip money be established in North Dakota. Dale said interest on North Da- kota bonds delinquent or falling due this year approximates $4,000,000 while it will require approximately the same amount for the operation of state departments. In addition, he said, other taxing units throughout the state will be demanding not less than $20,000,000. “Realizing that further delay will leave our state finances in a chaotic cindition,” he said, 1, Transfer of one cent of the gaso- line tax to the general fund for the next two years to furnish funds to pay off legislative members’ salaries and expenses and to conduct the other necessary governmental func- tions of the state. 2.

Within a few hours after the in- coming and outgoing chief execu- tives had decided upon diplomatic channels—advocated by Roosevelt— as the avenue for an approach to the Problem, Secretary Stimson sum- moned the English ambassador, Sir ‘Ronald Lindsay, and informed him ‘of the agreement reached Friday by the two leaders in an extraordinary white house conference.

Zeigler of the U. 8. veterans administration Satur- day reported the discovery of a new treatment for pneumonia which “may prove to be to pneu- monia what quinine is.to malaria or antitoxin to diphtheria.” The treatment, a substance called “pneumocholin” has been found capable of buliding up im- munity in rabbits against “type one” pneumonia so that they are able to resist attacks of this dis- ease which ordinarily would prove fatal, says Dr. Ziegler in the administration’s medical bul- letin. Pneumocholin is produced by dissolving pneumococci — pneu- monia germs—in sodium tauro- cholate, derived from bile. Geneva, Jan. 21—(4)—The League of Nations committee of 19 Saturday rejected as unacceptable Japan's re- ply to its proposal for conciliation of the Sino-Japanese dispute and agreed to proceed immediately with a report and recommendations regardless of Japan's views.

You mustn't go away. You can't.” Not long before, as the final cur- tain had fallen and as the crowd was holding Scotti for 30 minutes of cur- tain calls, Lawrence Tibbett, sitting in a box, had risen. In the deep bari- tone which only the night before had sung the role of “Emperor Jones” from the same stage, he sang: “For he's a jolly good fellow." And soon many other voices in the audience joined with that of Tibbett's singing: “For he's a jolly good fellow.” The famous theatre was so packed with people that during the perform- ance of “L'Oracolo” the doors to the auditorium could not be closed. [FREE GOLD MEASURE | EXTENDED FOR YEAR BY SENATE ACTION Permits Federal Reserve Banks to Pledge Collateral for Bank Notes Washington, Jan. 21.—(#)—The sen- ate Saturday voted to extend for an- other year provisions of the Glass- Steagall act for expansion of the “free gold” supply. The house has yet to act. Presidential approval is expect- ed. The bill would permit a continua- tion for a year dating from March 3 next, of the authority for federal re- serve banks to pledge with the federal reserve agent government securities as collateral for additional reserve notes, The purpose is to maintain a great- er supply of gold in the hands of fed- eral reserve banks for whatever use demand requires. The senate approved a compromise amendment on branch banking limit- ing this practice to about nine states The vote ended the spirited fight by a small group of Democratic lib- erals against the clause permitting branch banking in all states regard- less of state laws prohibiting it. However, other contests were in the offing and the ultimate fate of the bill this session was in doubt. The vote for the compromise was 52 to 17. Women’s Peace Move Develops Into Fight Washington, Jan. 21.—(?)—With- drawal of the Daughters of the Amer- fean Revolution from the Women’s Patriotic Conference on National De- fense, to be held here January 30, has thrown into a turmoil of talk the whole forefront of women’s “peace” and “defense” causes. It brought into sharp clash with the Daughters their former co-workers, the American Legion Auxiliary. It started a buzz about inner D. A. R. . It won applause from Fri- day’s closing session on the cause and cure of war conference.

NEW ADVERTISING SOURCES DISCUSSE BY STATE EDITORS Are Told at Convention Medics and Churches Could Profit by Publicity es Fargo, N. D., Jan. 21.—(4)}—Two advertising sources as yet virtually untouched by North Dakota news- paper men were discussed Friday by the North Dakota Press association. The convention continued through ;Saturday with election of officers ‘and announcement of contest win- ners as the final features. Lou Benshoof, publisher of the De- troit Record, Detroit Lakes, Minn., described progress in the Gopher state in obtaining medical advertis- ing. A paper prepared by Rev. Dewitt E. Myers. Langdon pastor and read to the assembly by R. A. Gilbertson, Glenburn publisher, introduced the topic, “Should the Church Carry Paid Advertising?” Rev. Myers contended that churches can profitably pur- chase space in the newspaper. Benshoof declared newspapers co- operating with the medical ‘profes- sion through joint association could do much toward eliminating quack- With simple dignity the Press as- sociation paid tribute to two men who made newspaper history in the northwest. Portraits of Norman B. Black, late publisher of the Fargo Forum, and George B. Winship, former publisher of the Grand Forks Herald were un- veiled as the association dedicated its North Dakota hall of fame for newspaper men and women. ‘The pictures will be taken to the University of North Dakota where they will hang permanently in the new liberal arts building. Life Histories Given ‘Two outstanding publishers detail- ed lives of Black and Winship. Rilie R.

Francis said the two men were un- choices for the signal ‘honor. Tracing the active life of Winship, Morgan recounted he served in the Civil war when a lad of 16. In June. 1879, Winship established the weekly Grand Forks Herald. In 1881 he changed the paper to a daily, was elected to the state senate in 1689; was appointed state oil in-|Dal spector in 1894; was appointed regis- trar of the federal land office in 1903; retired from business in 1911 red died at San Diego, Calif., Nov. 3, As a newspaper man, George Win- ship was one of the northwest’s out- standing successes. Turning to Winship’s political ca- reer, Morgan characterized the late publisher as “the leader of that cour- ageous little band of senators who 50 resisted efforts of silver.’ W. P. Davies, editor of the Grand Forks Herald, and for 15 years as- sociated with Winship, added his tri- bute through a letter.

HAS ROOSEVELT’S BACKING New Proposal Said to Have Bet- ter Chance of Approval Than Parity Scheme Washington, Jan. 21—()—Con- @ressional approval of a bold Demo- cratic plan for easing the burden on debt-laden farmers was predicted in some quarters Saturday despite a stir of opposition to its sweeping character. Companion to the revolutionary “domestic allotment” measure design- ed to boost farm prices, the mortgage plan calls for a nation-wide system of “conciliation commissioners” to scale down by agreements between creditor and debtor the billions of a which hig? farmers owe. , Sprung on congress Friday by the Democratic leader of the senate, Robinson, of ‘Arkansas, is the second major phase of the farm relief program advanced by the big agricultural organizations and backed by President-elect Rosevelt. Many were quick to say the debt adjustment legislation would have a much better chance for enactment this session than the domestic allot- ment bill which, frequent reports have it, faces a veto by President Hoover if it should pass. Hoover, himself, in a special mes- sage to congress, asked for emergency legislation to liberalize the bank- Tuptcy laws so that individuals, cor- porations and railroads could the better work out their difficulties and eae in business. ly Friday the house judic! committee reported favorably on peed islation along this general line.

E. Wenzel, commissioner. Premium collections for the year totaled $474,609.55 compared to $493,- 164.68 in compensation payments, not including administration expense of $62,000 nor reserve, Wenzel said. “Direct underwriting loss for the year is $18,555.13 and total loss is $80,- 000, which is quite in line with esti- mates we made originally in March, 1930,” Wenzel stated. “We estimated - losses of $11,000 per month during the depression, which is just what we have averaged, the 1932 average showing less by reason of the seven ae cent increase in premium rates !
