I do not feel that the lowering of exemp- tion from income tax or the increase in the lower brackets is justified at this time.” Senator Borah (Rep.

He said he would vote against such a move, and that other independents were “critical” of it. ‘The LaFollette plan lowers income tax exemptions for married persons from the present $2,500 to $2,000 and for single persons from $1,000 to $800, and increases the surtaxes all along ‘the line. The house bill would leave present taxes on income below $50,000 unchanged. Legislators who forecast a possible scrapping of the whole tax program, while unwilling to be quoted by name, pointed to expert estimates that 1,- * 600,000 persons with small incomes would be added to the income tax- payers rolls under the new amend- ment.

Walter Welford Monday de- clared he would “invoke any power or of the executive depart- ment” to prevent liquidation of sec- ondary crop liens, and to protect the farmers of the state from being “forced back on the relief rolls.” Welford revealed that despite the federal government's willingness to “waive completely, in exceptional cases, any rights they may have to force a liquidation of the farmer's Property” other agencies are “not farsighted enough to ride along with them on that policy.” “There are some who would force these liquidations,” he said.” Asks Cooperation He appealed for cooperation of all agencies holding crop liens, in fraining from pressing for ba been tion of their claims, asserting such action would result in “persons adopt- ing this as their policy being the ones to suffer in the end.” one Glassy is directed to the fin- ie people,” Welford de- clared, “ “and o do not believe it will be necessary to take summary action to convince all that they must be more considerate of the rights of others. “I will use and I will invoke the use of power or any agencies of the exe- cutive department to promote the bet- terment, the interests of all.” He pointed out that “stocks of feed must be utilized to prevent their waste. If they are to be thrown on the market they will be practically wasted, as they will appear as a gigan- tic surplus and force the values to absolutely nothing.” Recommends Storage It is necessary, Welford declare, to “take these feed stocks, store such es are storable, and arrange to convert’ the remainder into liquid capital, and through the use thereof to increase the value af livestock, or through the conversion in some other similar man- ner.” “We must not participate in a forced liquidation of this years’ pro- duce, and we will not and cannot con- done the selfishness of any individual Group or corporation who would in an unconscionable manner force the liquidation of the produce on any farm,” Welford asserted. He declared cooperation extended to him at his recent farm conference had been “wonderful” but that “it is dem- onstrated there are a few who are sel- fish and who would not proceed with us to restore a healthy condition.” Eyes to the Future Welford asked “all in the state to view conditions in the general aspect with their eyes to the future rather than upon the attempt to realize some money today.” The governor said he had been in- formed that “meetings have been held in individual groups wherein I am advised they have agreed, in every in- stance, to force the collection and liquidation of any interests there might be in the farm products re- @ardless of the effects.” Welford supported a plan “to al- low the farmer to retain to himself whatever fruits there might be this year as a meager reward for his ef- forts, and thereby re-establish the farmer with confidence in himself, rather than require that he liquidate proceeds of his efforts. “To take away these products, to deprive him of his self-respect, to evict him from his home; all of these must promote a bitter feeling which we cannot use at this time,” Welford declared.

A proposed investigation to deter- mine feasibility of uniting under one administrative head the University of North Dakota and agricultural college at Fargo, by the state interim tax survey commission, in cooperation with other state bodies, was revealed Monday. At the same time, the state board of administration was requested by the tax survey commission to “defer action” on any change in the presi- dency of the Fargo institution, pend- ing determination of plans to conduct the investigation. Previously, it was learned the state board of administration had under contemplation a possible shifting of the present adminisrative head at the state agricultural college—Pres. J. H. Shepperd. In addition other changes were known to be under consideration by the board, at other institutions. Instructed to Report In a letter to J. D. Harris, chair- man of the state board of administra- tion, Dr. Spencer A. Larsen, consult- ant of the state interim tax survey commission, revealed that he had been “instructed to prepare a re- port on the feasibility of uniting agricultural college at Fargo and ihe i University of North Dakota at Grand Forks into one “greater university of North Dakota.” “The thought of the commission in this connection is that one head over these two institutions, with the sup- port of the board of administration, could eliminate any unwarranted duplication of work that is not in the best interest of the students and tax- payers. “After checking this matter with ether groups, particularly the state planning board and individuals quali- fied to pass on this proposition, I may say there is a substantial opinion to the effect that this proposal has suf- ficient merit to warrant cafeful in- vestigation,” the letter stated. Confers With Sathre Dr. Larsen explained he had con- ferred with P. O. Sathre for guid- ance in legal phases of the problem and explained that “he is willing to prepare a report concerning the legal Problems involved.” Pointing out that “something of real worth can be accomplished” through cooperation of the various groups, the board was asked “in the event our investigation reveals the plan to be feasible, would it be much easier for all concerned to make re- arrangements in these institutions, before any change in the presidency of the Fargo institution is consum- mated?” It was requested “deferment of any change in the headship at the Fargo institution until we have had an op- portunity to go into this matter.” Any investigation of the type contem- plated, it was pointed out, would re- quire “three or four months to com- Plete.” Bridge Painting Bids To Be Opened Aug. 16 Bids for painting two bridges, one over the Missouri, the other spanning the Little Missouri river will be open- ed by the state highway department Aug. 16. Contracts will be let for painting the Little Missouri river bridge at Watford City, and the Missouri river bridge at Williston. It is estimated the work will cost approximately $2,000. They are state aid projects. Show Despite High Winds Despite high winds which held many planes on the ground part of Saturday and much of Sunday, Bis- marck’s first air show was @ success, Fred M. Roberts, show manager, said ‘Monday. Approximately 1,500. persons saw the exhibition Saturday and 2,500 Sun- day. Roberts said he is confident that, had the weather been more favorable, both the show and the crowd would have been the best in jumper from Scottsbluff, Neb., had a narrow escape from death late Sun- day evening. Foced to delay her leap until about 8:30 p. m., because of the wind, Miss Barden escaped falling into the high tension power line near the airport by only a few inches. Her parachute caught in the wires and difficulty was ,experienced in getting it down. Had she touched the wire it would have meant instant death. Despite the fact that her ankle, broken re- cently in another jump, had not com- filled her contract here with jumps both Saturday and Sunday evening. The force of the wind, Roberts said, was illustrated by the fact that the plane of Ray Murrell, stunt flier from Hollywood, Calif. and one of the heaviest on the field, was tossed onto its nose while taxing down cannot lift it. Murrell gave a sti ing exhibition both days of the An added feature of the airshow Sunday was an exhibition of mili- tary flying by five army pursuit planes from St. Paul.

Monday’s orders varied from the usual formula in that they failed to state the date upon which the mo- bilized men could return to their homes. This fact led informed quarters to believe Premier Mussolini will be prepared, during the last week of this month, to strike at any develop- ments in East Africa with the full weight of his mobilized army. Faint hopes fo rthe preservation of the “Stresa front” prevailed in in- formed circles as Italy's delegation prepared to depart for the tripartite conversations in Paris Thursday on the Italo-Ethiopian controversy. Similar skepticism greeted reports from Addis Ababa that Emperor Haile Selassie had agreed to crede some land to Italy in exchange for a heavy loan or an Ethiopian outlet to the sea. These sources had no hesitation in conceding that the accord with Selassie had agreed to cede some hieved at Stresa four months ago in the face of German rearmament was in imminent danger of collapse as a consequence of Britain’s attitude to- ward Italy's East African policy.

Putnam, county extension agent. At the same time, Putnam said he had received notification from F. E. Cobb, state director of the plains shelterbelt program, that the smaller shelterbelt plantings would continue next year in suitable areas. Set out in sandy soils where the wa- ter table is within 10 or 12 feet of the earth’s surface, the trees have made, remarkable progress in Burleigh coun- ty this year, Putnam announced. Regulations governing the planting of the trees next year will be prac- tically the same as heretofore except. that the actual planting will be done by 90 per cent relief labor instead of by the forestry service experts. Farm- ers must furnish the land up to a maximum of five acres, fence and/|¢ cultivate the area and the forest ser- vice will furnish the young trees and direct the planting. Putnam to Take Applications Putnam said that all persons wish- ing the shelterbelts should contact the offices here and notices would be sent on to Bottineau.

MILWAUKEE PRIEST ELEVATED BY POPE TO FARGO BISHOPRIC Meg. Aloysius J. Muench, 46, Former Seminary Rector, Succeeds O'Reilly Washington, Aug. 12.—(#)—The apostolic delegation Monday an- nounced Pope Pius had elevated Monsignor Aloysius J.

Hearing was set here at 11 le. m, Aug. 21. ‘No Constitutional Amendment Has Been Submitted,’ Is Vinson’s Comment Washington, Aug. 12.—()—Amid disagreement whether Herbert Hoover seeks presidential nomination, Sena- tor Robinson—the Democratic leader —answered the former president’s challenge to the New Deal Monday with a declaration that one adminis- tration aim is “to overcome the dras- tic effects of Hoover policies.” The Hoover statemevt, saying Pres- ident Roosevelt should reveal “what changes this tion proposes in the constitution” before congress adjourns, was a major topic as the legislators returned to their desks, Some Republicans agreed with Rob- inson it showed the ex-president was & candidate for another term, but Rep. Treadway (Rep.-Mass.) com- mented “half the people are against the New Deal, and they aren’t all can- didates.” “Roosevelt objectives have been clear from the beginning,” said Rob- inson, “One has been to overcome the drastic effect of Hoover policies; another ,to improve permanently liv- ing conditions and opportunities for ° the people generally.” Wants Announcement Rep. Knutson (Rep.-Minn.), back- ing Rep. Fish of New York for Re- publican presidential nomination said “Hoover could render to greater serv ice to the country than to announce he will not be a candidate.” Stopping in Chicago on a trip east, the former president hit at the new deal Sunday night in a statement ac- cusing the administration of “dicta- ‘toria)” syraares of Directly or indirectly, he said, the administration seeks to revise the constitution to concentrate powers in Washington, Calling on the adminis- tration to declare its intentions be- fore congress adjourns and to make it an open fight on a specifically worded amendment, he said: Prefers Suicide to Prison “No matter how destructive an amendment might be and even though the people were persuaded to ill-ad- vised action upon it, yet it would be better for liberty to commit suicide in the open rather than to be poison- ed by indirection in the capital of the nation. “No more momentous decision has been raised since the Civil war. Com- mon frankness requires that the ad- ministration come forward to the peo- ple and declare precisely wherein, un- der our constitution, we can not cor- rect evils and can not prevent social maladjustments.” While some Republicans and Dem- ocrats interpreted the statement as a bid by Hoover for the presidential nomination next year, others denied this was necessarily the correct way to construe it. Roosevelt Silent Meantime, there was no indication that President Roosevelt, who re- turned Sunday night from a fishing trip on the yac’t Sequoia, would make any statement. From Rep. Vinson (em., Ky.) came the comment: “No constitutional amendment has been submitted and nobody has said that one will be.” Declaring he had no doubt that Hoover would run in 1936, Rep. Gib- son (Rep., Vt.) called the statement a “preliminary outline of his plat- form.” To Rep. Dies (Dem., Tex.) it was the former president's “opening bid” while Senator Nye (Rep., N. D.) thought it signified a “desire to be the candidate.” Given 30 Days to Rue Descrating Graves La Moure, N. D, Aug. 12.—()— For desecrating a number of graves at Dickey, Victor Loesch, 33, living near Montpelier, was given a 30-day jail sentence and fined $100 and costs by Judge Sherman.
