GOLD DECISION IS TOPIC AT ROTARY George Shafer Outlines Effects of Supreme Court's Rul- ing at Luncheon A brief history of the monetary aystem of the United States and the developments which led up to and the effects of the supreme court's gold clause decision was given by George F. Shafer, former governor of North Dakota, in an address before the local Rotary club Wednesday. “The gold clause decision repre- sents a landmark in the history of the United States,” Shafer said after tracing the part that the federal gov- ernment played in establishing a uni- form monetary system over the Unit- ed States. The ruling which invalidated the gold clause in private bond contracts actually conferred upon Congress and the President the power to inflate or deflate our currency, or in other words gave to the administrative and legislative branches of the govern- ment the power to regulate the mone- tary system, he said. Shafer pointed out that approxi- mately seven billion dollars in private contracts and 12 billion dollars in government contracts would be af-! fected by the ruling. He gave a brief resume of the arguments of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes in the Majority opinion of the court and ale 80 those by James C, McReynolds in the minority opinion. Roy 8. Towne, Program chairman, introduced the speaker. President John P. French announc- ed Burt Finney, J.C. Taylor, J, A. Larson and Birlea Ward as members of the February program committee. Group singing was led by Henry Duemeiand, accompanied by Miss Marguerite Kennedy at the piano. Guests of the club were W. D. Powell, 'Fargo; Frank E. Ployhar, Valley City and R. C. Kirkwood and G. A.

Sather, post master. The changes will greatly speed up, travel on the two airplane lines into Bismarck with the westbound plane of the Northwest Airways arriving ;here only one hour before the south- {bound plane of the Hanford Airlines jis scheduled to take off instead of four hours earlier as formerly. Also made possible by the change Plane on the southern route instead of two. At present two planes are needed to operate the southern sched- ule, one leaving here at 12:35 p. m., and the plane arriving from the south at 1:10 p.m. This makes it necessary for one plane to remain here over- night and then fly back the next day. Under the new schedule the plane from the south will arrive at the same time as heretofore, 1:10 o'clock, but the same plane will fly back over the southern route, leaving here at 1:35 P. m. The changes were made pus- sible by alterations in schedules at the southern terminal of the lines. Schedules effective March 1 ar: Westbound—Plane arrives at 12:05 Pp. m.; leaves at 12:15 p. m.; mails close at 11:45 a. m. Southbound—Plane arrives at 1:10 P. m.; leaves at 1:35 p. m.; mails close at 1:05 p. m. Eastbound—Plane arrives at 5°15 p. m.; leaves at 5:25 p. m.; mails close from page one- at 4:55 p. m. co D Over 100 Measures Acted on With 40 Left on Calendar having been killed previously by @ tie vote of 24 to 24, with one mem- ber absent. Backed for Economy Senator A. F. Bonzer of Richland, who led the fight for passage of the bill, asserted it would result in a sav- ing of money as well as set up @ more representative system. Attacking the measure were Sena- tors Johnson of Richland, C. W. Fine of Benson, and E. E. Greene of Stuts- NTINUE man. “This bill woul@ prohibit the for- mation of @ third party from ever coming into the state,” Senator Fine said speaking against the bill. “I can't see that it would prohibit that,” Bonzer answered. Senator Johnson contended that election of committeemen would re- sult in their permission to vote for presidential candidates two years af- ter their election which, he said, would not be satisfactory. The senate by @ vote of 26 to 22 killed a bill which would have pro- {vided for party registration of elec- tors before they could vote at pri- mary elections. Seizure Bill Another bill passed by the senate, S. B, 247, provides for disposition of \iquor seized, with proceeds to go to the general fund of the county where such liquor was held. The two per cent retail sales tax proposal, which if approved by the house and governor, will become ef- fective for a two-year period start- ing in May, was passed by a 38 to 8 ; Vote. The measure, Senate Bill 313, esti- mated to raise approximately $4,000,- 000 during the biennium, provides that one million dollars annually or as much of that as needed go to the public welfare fund and the remain- der to the state equalization fund for the schools. Another revenue producing meas- ure, Senate Bill 304, which would double the tax on beer, also was pass- quor stores. Under the senate municipal plan, 8.

North Dakota amended its dry plank in the constitution mcre than two years ago, but left the dry stat- ‘utes on the books. The present bill, if enacted, would repeal such statutes and set up an enforcement section to prevent violation in dry territory. Pass Five Bills Five bills calling for tions: totaling $824,797.47 received final ap- proval of the senate Tuesday night and were sent to the house, They are: 8. B. 14—Providing $495,177.27 for general maintenance and improve- ments at state agricultural college of irgO. 8. B. 19—Appropriating’ $260,681.20 for state penitentiary for the next biennium. 8. B. 13—Providing $62,750 appro- Priation for experimental station at agricultural college. 8. B. 15—Granted $10,000 to agri- cultural college for extension division as offset for federal aid. 8. B. 16—Appropriated $113,340 to defray expenses of operating depart- ment of registrar of motor vehicles. 8. B. 1—Appropriating approxi-| mately $1,194,300 for state depart- mental activities, Senators Fowler of Cass and Bon- zer of Richland, who were chief sup- porters of the sales tax bill, explained it already had received the approval of the super-committee of 21 faction- al legislative leaders, and was part of the contemplated revenue producing Program, to meet an expected deficit’ Tanging from an estimated $7,000,000 ul McGillic Seeks Amendment Senator McGillic of Morton at- tempted to have the bill amended so the surplus not needed for schools and relief would serve as a replace- ment on property taxes by lowering valuation $300. Senator Fowler ex- Plained the plan agreed on in the bill was to have any surplus go to the state equalization board to distribute it as it would deem best. Another attempt to amend the bill, made by Senator Fine of Benson, to increase the allowance to the schools to $1,- ‘760,000 also failed. Senators Bonzer and Fowler ex- Plained in event the hail department Tefsnd of $1,000,000 to schools is ap- proved by the legislature, that imme- diate court action will be started to test its legality. Should it be held unconstitutional, a bill providing a one-cent increase in the gas tax could become a law in its place, they said, and provide the necessary revenue. School Fails Closing An attempt to curtail School activities or Close the State of Forestry THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1985 ‘at Bottineau by placing it under the direct control of the state board of administration failed when a biil to) accomplish this purpose was voted, 29 to 17, to indefinite postponement. The senate bill, No. 77, was voted down after Senator E. C. Stucke of McLean, appearing in behalf of Sen- ator William A. Thatcher of Bot- tineau, absent because of illness, said it would “not be fair” to close the Bottineau school after proposing in- creases of more than $60,000 to the agricultural college at Fargo. Sena- tor Fowler of Cass also spoke in op- Position to the bill. A senate bill which would elim- inate compulsory military at the University of North Dakota and State Agricultural college, and make such training optional, narrowly escaped indefinite postponement by two votes in senate action. Left for Later Action The bill, Senate Bill 240, was left on the calendar for later action after @ motion to indefinitely postpone it was defeated 24 to 22. Two similar measures previously were killed by the house. Also passed by the senate were three measures which would shorten the time of publication in newspapers Of service of summons, and notice on sale of real property, which now re- quire six publications, to four pub- Ueations. They were Senate Bills 227, 229, and 230. Senate Concurrent Resolution “W,” Proposing a state constitutional amendment which would increase the number of signers necessary on peti- tions for referendum or initiative Petition, also was adopted and sent to the house, Under the resolution which would’ Present to the voters-the proposed amendment of Section 25 of Article 2 of the constitution, 20,000 electors would be necessary to propose any measure by initiative petition, instead of 10,000 as at present, while 20,000 signatures would be necessary on & referendum petition to suspend ope- ration of any legislative measure ex- cept an emergency act. At present only 7,000 signers are required. Any initiative petition under the resolution would necessarily be filed with the secretary of state not less than 90 days before the election it is to be voted upon, while referendum Petitions must be filed not later than 90 days after adjournment of the legislature, and no petitions could lawfully be circulated while the leg- islature was in session. Most of the controversial bills were Telegated to the foot of the calendar, where they will be reached for final action Wednesday. HH. G. Whitehouse, Omaha, Neb., has 112 clocks in his home.

SUPPORTS COLLEGES Pollock, 8. Dak., Feb. 23, 1935. Editor, Tribune: ‘ T have agreed with Mr. Gunderson whole-heartedly that taxes should be slashed, but recovery of any perma- crippling the institutions of higher learning. Temporary recovery would doubtless come about by use of vhis Procedure, but when we crush the means of educating our youth we might well expect long-lived disaster. It is extremely ridiculous to slash the taxes needed for educational pur- Poses when there are so many other ways in which taxes could be cut much more wisely. For example, the money spent on maintenance of our roads and highways could easily be cut in half during. these times of fi- nancial perplexity. Taxes on hard liquors should be increased consider- ably if our standards are not to sink to the low level of filthy, drunken sots. I question a single sound prin- ciple in leaving a low tax on liquor while cutting taxes for the support of our educational institutions 40 per cent, more or less. The college graduates of today are directing and guiding the young peo- ple and the social centers of this and every other state. They are the dynamic, forceful leaders of every sive community, reaching them through the schools, churches, and in numerous other ways where knowledge, responsibility and guid- ance are required. They are train- ing young men and women to ex- Press themselves and to be self- dependent, active citizens.

For the most part, college students are struggling for enlight- enment in the fields of their inter- ests and abilities. Doctors, dentists, lawyers, and engineers are all college graduates. They have positions which require accuracy, responsibility, and tact. How, then, can anyone make the sad mistake of trying to under- mine such a noteworthy cause as that of education? To cripple education in our state and expect good results is just as erroneous as it is to expect a horse with a broken leg to continue giving service. My last thought to leave with you is this: If we are not in- terested in the future of our sons and daughters, our state, and our beloved nation, then by all means, change our) educational institutions into insane; asylums, reformatories, and feeble- minded institutions because they will, without doubt, need much greater capacities. Very sincerely yours, ELBERT LARVICK. INVITATION TO COFFEE Baldwin, N. D., Feb. 20, 1935. Editor, Tribune: Just a few words to my friend, Oscar Hagstrom. I read your letter in the Feb. 14th issue. You did not seem to understand my letter. Per- haps you could if you had a little more knowledge about law. T notice you use several “if's” as to the North Dakota mill and elevator.

WHEN YOU TAKE A LAXATIVE +..uSe a spoon It isn’t what brand of laxative you take that’s so important—it’s the form. A liquid laxative can be taken in any required amount. If only a little is needed, you need never take a bit too much. ‘ Doctors favor the easily measured liquid laxatives. Instead of any form that does not encourage variation from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may ae overdose for you—or your cbuld. Always remember this one thing about constipation: the secret of any real relief is reduced a Give the bowels only as much help as may be needed, and less help as the need grows less.
