FRANCE PREPARING TO IMPOSE. SURTAX ON AMERICAN GOODS f ces ora DIFFERENCE | ON OTHER FEATURES OF BiG FARM BILL Sends Measure to Co Conference With Opposite Branch to Seek Compromise FIVE POINTS IN PROGRAM Gold, Silver and Currency Con. trol Placed in Hands of Chief Executive Washington, May 3.—(?)—The house of representatives Wednesday approv- ed the administration inflation pro- gram as already passed by the senate. Comparing with the impressive 64 to 21 senate vote last week, the repre- sentatives polled 307 in favor and 86 opposed to the broad currency powers to be vested in President Roosevelt. This completed congressional action on the inflation set up. The roll call followed immediately a vote to differ with the senate on amendments made to the massive farm relief bill, sending the measure to conference with the other branch for compromise on differences. Six hours of debate were concluded Tuesday night on the inflation pro- posal, opposed by the Republican leadership. Democratic inflationists at every turn trounced efforts of the Republi- OF IOWA FARM MOB to arrive within two weeks, was in-/ alone and would not inform police of jeans to defeat the proposal, already ment. doors and windows. The special aid provision authorizes an advance of funds by the Recon- struction Corporation. The senate bill proposed that this advance be Umited to $200,000,000; the house $300,000,000. A compromise at $250,000,000 may be approved by congressional con- ferees who are expected to adjust such differences in the measure this week. These funds, as now provided, will be lent to farmers on either first or; second mortgages upon the whole or any part of his farm property, real or personal, including crops, The} amount of the mortgage, ‘together! with prior indebtedness, cannot ex- ceed 75 per cent of the value of the property nor will a loan of more than $5,000 be available to any one farmer. Interest will be at the rate of five per cent with no payment onj principal the first three years. | Until May 27, administration of this part of the program will be in the hands of the federal farm loan) board which goes out of existence when the farm credit administration assumes authority. Paul Bestor, farm Joan commissioner, who will continue in that post under the new set-up, has arranged to establish agencies in each of the 12 federal land banks to handle the special loans. RELIEF COMMITTEE IN COUNTY NAMED Is Third Group to Have Charge of Distribution of Funds =; to Needy A new Burleigh county emergency relief committee was named Wednes- day forenoon by the board of county commissioners, which is holding its monthly business session here.

Noggle, James W Guthrie and Mrs. Alta B. Herman of Bismarck; O. C. Uhde, Regan; and James Riley, Sterling. Mrs. Fred L. Conklin, crea of the county chapter of the Red Cross, has been in charge of distribution of funds since the last committee was disbanded a short time ago. All other business conducted by the county board at this meeting has; been routine, Chairman George F. Will said. He expects the meeting} will be completed late Wednesday. Three men, named to replace three commissioners suspended by Gover- nor Langer, are attending their first regular board meeting. They are W.| J. Noggle of Bismarck, J. F.

The three were among those ques-| tioned by the military court conduct- ing hearings under martial law. Both civil and military authorities said they were inclined to discount statements attributed to County At- torney James Smith of Cherokee, threatening to arrest national guards- | men if they are sent into his jurisdic- tion from Le Mars, where Judge Bradley was abused by a crowd of farmers when he refused to take an oath he would not sign any more mortgage foreclosure decrees. Governor Clyde ‘Herring, however, was firm and declared that “if any arrests are to be made by troops in Cherokee county they will go in andj get them.” He added he would con- fer with other state officials Wednes- day on the lifting of martial law in Plymouth and Crawford counties. Face Contempt Charges As predictions for lifting martial law “within a few days” came from the governor's office, plans for trial of suspects in the farm riots were be- ing discussed in the attorney gener- al’s office and it was indicated that charges of contempt of court would probably form the basis of prosecution of those arrested. Military courts, under the present plan, will hold pre- liminary hearings and gather evi- dence for presentation at trials before civil courts later. Seven persons were taken into cus- tody at Le Mars, where 56 are now held, and 10 others were jailed at Denison bringing the total there to 40. With nine others transferred from Le Mars to Sioux City jails, the! Captain Horace Wolf, adjutant of the guard camp at LeMars, said 200 arrests were yet to be made. Among those sought was Morris} Cope, believed by military authorities} to have led the attack on District| Judge Bradley.

Dougia and Douglas Have Cut Government Costs to Point Near Income Washington, May 3.—(}—President Roosevelt and Lewis Douglas, direc- tor of the budget, have brought next year’s government budget within $120,000,000 of balancing. This disclosure was made today in high quarters, with the information that the president is relying on a “hard boiled” basis in making his cal- culations, assuming that taxes will bring in no more next year than they have this year. On this estimate he figures receipts next year of $2,200,000,000 and expen- ditures of $2,320,000,000. These expenditures are the normal government costs, exclusive of the sinking fund payment for retirement of indebtedness. The total shows a cut of almost one billion dollars under the current budget. First estimates of revenue from the beer tax were declared at the white house to be running ahead of the previous estimate of $150,000,000 an- nually, Information received Wednesday from Washington said the various branches of the veterans bureau would not be closed, as had been an- nounced from some sources, but that, as cases go off the veterans rolls through operation of the new veterans regulations, some may be closed lat- er. iGold Hoarders Wait For Official Action ‘Washington, May May 3.—()—The gov- ernment has said it intends to pro- ceed against gold hoarders but it has et to reveal its course of action. In- dications are that many hoarders are waiting for treasury officials to show their hand. The time limit for returning gold expired Monday and it is understood that the treasury is checking a list of hoarders compiled by banks. Last week there was approximately $700,- 000,000 in gold and gold certificates still out, the bulk of it believed to be in hiding in this country. TO PAY ON BONDS Washington, May 3.—(#)—There will be no gold exports for payments on Liberty Bonds held abroad.

One of them called the Harwich Center gram- mar school at 2:30 p. m., (E.S8.T.), said he was Mr. McMath and told Miss Ruth Holmes, secretary to the prin- cipal, he was sending a chauffeur for his daughter. He asked that she be dismissed immediately upon arrival ot the car. At approximately the same time MeMath received a telephone call from a man who said he was a tele.’ phone company lineman. He asked McMath to leave the telephone receiver off for 10 minutes. Within a few minutes a blue sedan pulled up before the schoolhouse. A Negro was at the wheel and he asked Jack Shaughnessey, a 10-year-old pu- pil who was playing in the yard, to tell Miss Esther Flinkman, Margaret's teacher, to send the girl out. Wheat Delegation Sails for Geneva! New York, May 3.—(®)—A delega- tion typifying President Roosevelt's “new deal” in international politics | sailed early Wednesday to participate in a wheat conference at Geneva pre- liminary to the international econo- mic conference to be held at London in June. Members of the delegation, who met each other for the first time on the ship, were Henry Morgenthau, Sr., of New York, former ambassador to Tur- key, Frederick E. Murphy, Minneapo- lis publisher and farm authority, and George C. Haas of Washington, econ- omist of the federal farm board. ‘The Minneapolis publisher said he was completely in the dark as to the purpose of his mission and that he had been told in Washington that he would be advised by wireless while aboard ship as to what was expected of him. “I think representatives of these countries are just going to talk,” he said, “and see if they can’t get to- gether on some basis to cooperate in| reducing acreage.” {Lindbergh Ready to Testify at Hearing Washington, May 3.—(?)—The Post said Wednesday that Colonel Charles A.‘Lindbergh has given assurances that he will be ready and willing to testify next Monday when Gaston B.

Senators La Follette and Duffy of Wisconsin, Vandenberg of Michigan, and Shipstead of Minnesota, an- nounced upon leaving the white house that they would press for a senate vote before adjournment. “The president stated,” said Sena- tor La Follette, “that he has not changed his position one iota on the St. Lawrence treaty and he antici- pates and hopes it will be acted upon favorably at this session.” It was added the president also wanted senate approval of the house resolution providing for allocation of power and cost to New York state.

Warnings were passed that unless industry should seek to set its own jhouse in order, in the interest of all, more rigid regulation by government ‘loomed.

It was made clear elsewhere, that he would not deal with specific legislation but | Would confine himself to such gener- al topics as wages, production, com- | Petition and working hours in a philo- sophical way. | An unofficial committee headed by tsenator Wagner (Dem. N. Y.) is go- ing over the thousands of proposals for business reform that have come {into the capital. It will put its views before the president shortly. Would Mobilize Industry One of the plans before ths com- mittee is designed to mobilize indus- try in an anti-depression drive through relaxation of anti-trust laws to end ruinous competition and wage cutting, providing self regulation un- der government supervision. As industry's contribution to the war on stagnated business, James H. Rand, head of Remington-Rand com- pany, said he was ready to propose a supplementary plan under which the {president could call for the re-em- ployment of 3,000,000 men immediate- ly. The anti-trust laws are being stud- jed carefully by the committee with a view to recommending that trade associations be permitted to knit their industries together so as to end “cut throat” competition and further wage slashing. The proposed legislation would be closely allied with the administration’s huge public works program, under | tentative plans of the committee, the ,;two proposals being aimed as a driv- ing offensive to put men back to work. Meanwhile, Roosevelt is watching jwith interest the progress of the 30- jhour-week bill in the house, which is j being used as a base for some of the Roosevelt ideas. Before the chamber of commerce, both Harriman and Swope advocated a substitute for that bill. Under their ideas, trade associations would sub- mit programs or agreements to the government for industry control; price control; wage control in cooperation with labor; hours of labor and al- location of production as among the units within an industry. | WOULD HAVE INDUSTRY FIX ITS OWN LIMITS Washington, May 3.—(#)—The fix- ing by industry itself of limits on working hours and minimum wages through trade associations was ad- vocated before the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States Wednes- day as a substitute for. federal legis- lation now pending in congress. Henry I. Harriman, president, in his address opening the organization's an- nual meeting, said: “I am confident that if trade as- sociations, in conference with labor and the government, were permitted to promulgate fair rules for industry— covering limitations of hours of oper- ation, minimum pay for employes, minimum prices for standard prod- ucts, and the setting up of reserves for accident, sickness and old age— the serious economic problems which confront us soon would vanish.” Harriman said that the reoommend- ations put forward in congress by Secretary Perkins of the labor de- partment for control of production and minimum wages in connection with shorter work week had the same posal, “but one preserves American principles and American traditions. The other savors of autocracy and bureaucracy.” INJURIES PROVE FATAL Casper, Wyo., May 3.—\#)—James Mason, 26, of Rapid City, S. and ; Minot, N.
