WORK RELIEF BILL CHALLENGES POWER OF ADMINSTRATION Plan to Rush Measure Through House Under ‘Gag’ Rule Meets Obstacles Washington, Jan. 22.—(#)—The Roosevelt administration's control over the 74th congress faced its first major challenge Tuesday after a plan to rush a $4,880,000,000 works-relief measure through the house under i rule struck unexpected obstac- The measure was already one day behind its fast schedule because in- surgent Democrats on the house rules committee had declined to agree to passage under iron rules limiting de- ‘bate and amendments. There were indications that a compromise might result. After a secret conference, Repub- licans under the leadership of Rep. Snell (Rep. N. Y.) produced a plan to scrap the administration measure which would give the president the $4, 880,000,000 in a “lump sum” with dis- cretion as to how it should be spent. Declaring congress would be giving way its power by delegating such authority to the sident, the Re- publicans proposed a substitute. The chief feature of this, they said, aims at keeping the government out of competition with private business. Each state would be given a pro rata share of the appropriations, to be spent only through private contrac- tors in the administration’s announced Grive to transfer 3,500,000 people from the “dole” to jobs. Speaker Byrns sought Tuesday to bring the rules committee around to the administration view so the meas- ure could go through the house Wed- nesday, Under the original schedule, it was to have passed Tuesday. Though Byrns was silent, some other leaders expressed fear that if it were brought up without ‘drastic curbs, the administration's “lump sum” idea would be wrecked under @ PRESIDENT ASKS SENATE TO FAVOR WORLD couxT /TH(MSON'S COUNSEL’ DEMANDS ACQUITTAL OF FRAUD CHARGES A warm fight was presaged In the United States senate after President Roosevelt asked that body, in a special message, to ratify American adherence to the world court.

D. Jan. 19, 1935. Editor, Tribun>: People can forgive political homicide but character assassination never. Vile rumors have been spread the past few days in Bismarck about Thomas H. Moodie, a man who proves himself more a man as the days pass. There is no doubt in the minds of any straight tiinking citizen as to where the rumors are originating. Any man or woman who has lived in Bismarck for long well knows that po- litical element which will stop at Dothing to aestroy an opponent. Decency, respect and honor are strange words to this class. But puzzling is the snake-like hyp- rotism with which ordinarily decent, right-thinking and right-acting rep- resentatives continue to be entranced by the gibberings of political ghouls. If press reports are accurate, and T believe them to be despite the drool- ings of The Leader, Mr. Moodie has produced proofs of his citizenship | Satisfactory to the supreme court, the attorney genera! and attorneys in- volved in both sides of his qualifica- tion wrangle.

F. McTavish, state witness, that the net earnings of the group, applicable to Northwest Ban- corporation stock ownership, were, after current charge-offs, equal to| $3.20 per share,” he declared. “We, for the defendants, are proud of the cash account because it shows that the management of the North- west Bancorporation had confidence in its local banks and left the net earnings in those banks as @ protec- tion to local depositors when it could at any time have withdrawn such net earnings and shared in dividends with its own stockholders. Their first con- cern was the well being of the local banks.” a aseearsc | Slope Weddings ig en ll Olson-Bartelson On Monday, Jan. 7, Miss Grace Marjorie Olson and Virgil Bartelson, both of Parshall, took their wedding vows at the Stanley Lutheran par- sonage with Rev.

Either they are too lazy to walk to the attorney general’s office or they are not of intelligence enough to differentiate between qu: ifications of ip and qual- ifications of citizenship. It is inconceivable to me that the people of North Dakota have been hoodwinked and blinded into sending 60 or more men to the house of rep- resentatives who are either incom- Petent to hold office or just plain monkeys on a stick. Surely among the 60 and 6 there must be some men of honesty, honor and integrity, men who must be sick to the stomach of the mess in which they find themselves involved. Honor to the names of those men who can throw off the shackles of political Pap, who stand forth bravely and daring to be men. | The sooner the people of North Dakota learn of what stuff these 60 and 6 are made of, the better. Those who have title to the badge of courage will not be afraid to remedy what mistakes they have made so far. Those who would continue to be led through a ring in the nose can be relegated to the 200 two years from now. INVICTUS.
