bial | oa f BY STATE PROPOSED IN SENATE TUESDAY Measure Calls on Congress to Empower Bank of N. D. to Issue Money Measures proposing issuance of currency by the Bank of North Da- kota and legislation in conformity with certain acts of Congress were a in the state senate Tues- ay. The proposal calling on Cot to empower the state-owned ban! to issue currency, backed by state ‘bonds, was contained in a resolution presented by John Miklethun of Barnes. It was referred to the com- mittee on state affairs. Elimination of the bank's neces- sity to borrow for short terms was claimed as a benefit to be derived by issuance of currency with bonds of the state pledged as security. Miklethun’s resolution asked Con- Bress to enact necessary laws “qual- ifying the Bank of North Dakota to participate in the facilities of. the U. 8. Treasury for issuing of cur- rency” in the name of the bank, se- cured by a deposit of the bonds of the state and acceptable state se- curities, Tuesday’s Legislature (By the Associated Press) House Considered for the fifth time a Proposal to raise proportion of electors necessary to obtain grass- hopper extermination levy, then defeated it. Heard Speaker William Crockett warn members “the gavel will come down” on the scheduled final day of the legislature, with no ex- tension of time.

Two young men of Towner, en- gaged 60 feet aloft in thawing water in the standpipe, went down with the 96-foot tower when it collapsed and escaped death or serious hurts in a seem- ing miracle. Delbert Carpenter and James Rosecranes were on a scaffold using steam to supply heat to the frozen stream when a large block of ice broke loose and crashed down through the stand- pipe, breaking a cross-brace of the tower and weakening the structure.

Its failure still left the final fate of the bill in doubt, with case, we contend, to show that Fisch was going around New York after the ransom money had been paid by Dr. John F.

Trenchard rul- ed, at a conference before his bench just before declaring the recess, that the defense would have to show that the money Fisch was alleged to have exhibited to Bruchmann was actually ransom money. Otherwise, the court said, Haupt- mann’s attorneys would have to abandon that line of questioning. Earlier the defense used a witness to say that Fisch had carried a shoe box in May, 1933, It was in @ shoe box that Hauptmann claimed Fisch gave to him, for safekeeping and without telling him of the contents, tl New Jersey police officers and through them reemphasized the failure of the authorities to find any fingerprints of Hauptmann on the kidnap ladder or in the nursery from which baby Charles A.

D., Feb. 6.—(#)—Called before the convention of the Farmers Grain Dealers of North Dakota Wed- nesday to discuss the proposed state tax of 50 cents per ton on all lignite mined in the state, Harris Baukol, of Noonan, told the grain men that “this tax would set the lignite indus- try back from 15 to 20 years.” He charged that there are “heavy interests” back of the measure. There are now about 1,800,000 tons of lignite mined annually in North Dakota, but about 400,000 tons of eastern coal, he said, are still shipped into the state. Enactment of Senate Bill No. 73 would considerably in- crease this import of eastern fuels, as well as otherwise handicap the lig- nite business, he said. Other topics under discussion in- clude: Seed grain shipment for stor- age and distribution; smut treatment; adjustments necessary as a result of reduced acreages of cash crops and increased acreages of feed crops, oc- casioned by allotment contract; the matter of meeting problems which will arise the first time there is a good crop to market in North Dakota, because of government liens and mortgages; freight rate increases; truck competition in merchandising of feed and seed; labor provisions of the country elevator code, Speakers on the program Wednes- day include Captain L. C. Webster, Procurement officer of the federal Seed stocks committee; B. E. Groom, chairman of the agricultural commit- tee of the Greater North Dakota as- sociation; Elmer Cart, new state rail- road commissioner, and C. B. Nupen, chief elevator accountant. Speaking late Tuesday on the topic, “American Railways,” Carl R. Gray, St. Paul, vigorous vice president and |Reneral manager of the Omaha rail- road, presented the viewpoint of rail- road management toward the pro- posed railroad labor bills, discussed increasing costs in operation and competition for the transportation business, told the story of the stream- lined train and other new develop- ments in railroad engineering, and said that if heavy burdens are added to railroad managements, they can only pass the burden on to shippers in the form of increases in freight rates. In another address heard Tuesday, the Honorable J. H. Evans of Winni- peg, deputy minister of agriculture of the Province of Manitoba, declared that the greatest enemy agriculture has today are “synthetic products” which take the place of farm prod- ucts.

YOUNG URGES BQUAL CARRIER REGULATION |Raitroads at Big Disadvantage in Price Competition, Ro- tarians Are Told “Federal regulation of interstate bus, truck and water transportation agen- cies to eliminate cutthroat competi- tion is absolutely essential if the ‘ailroads intend to keep free from government ownership.” Horace C. Young, attorney from Fargo, said in an address before the local Rotary club Tuesday. Rates, schedules and rebates must. be fixed for these competing carriers just as they have been for the rail- Toads, Young asserted. He pointed out that in the advent of government ownership, North Da- kota would lose over seven per cent of its present tax revenue and cited counties where over 65 per cent of the tax receipts are paid by the railroads. Contrary to popular opinion, the railroads have not a high capital turnover each year, Young said. The maximum was reached in 1926 and at that time the turnover was only 4.95 Per cent. During the last fiscal year the railroads suffered a deficit of Young expressed the opinion that if people would look back to March, 1920, when the railroads were return- ed to the private owners, and remem- ber the demoralized condition of the lines at that time, they would not hesi- tate to support a program aiding the Private interests.
