By its action, the commission slic- ed in half the $400,000 levy for real estate bond interest payments set by the board last year, which resulted in @ mill rate of .80. Over Last Year The mill and elevator construction bond payment recommendation was $23,000 above the figure of $210,000 set by the board last year, while the commission ided an increase for milling bonds.“Last year, the levy for this purpose set by the board was $66,000. Estimated expenditures in payment of interest coupons from July 1 of this year to July 1, 1936, was figured by the commission to total $2,418,- 613.22. Against this the commission set ex- ected revenue of $2,218,613.22. In- cluding a balance of $568,419.35 in the fund, the commission anticipated rev- enue of $160,000 from farm loan pay- ments, $400,000 from tax collections coming out of previous levies; $241.62 from motor vehicle fee transfers; |$560,000 transfers from the beer de- partment; $100,000 from the half- mill levy set by the 1935 legislature; $75,000 from miscellaneous collections and $123,475.25 in reduced interest payment, as result of anticipated re- demption of bonds during the coming year.

Nye, who arrived in Fargo, is perfectly willing to appear before the federal grand jury now convened here if the jury wishes to hear him in accord with the request of former Gov. William Langer that the senator be subpoenaed. The senator said he was at & loss, however, to see what connection the matters involved, referred to by Lan- ger as Nye’s charges of “untold graft in the Nonpartisan League affairs during the 18 months I was gover- nor,” had to do with the federal grand jury. Unofficial indications were that the jury, which received a telegram from Langer Tuesday, had adopted some- thing of the same attitude, and it was | Fascist understood that unless there should be a sudden switch in developments, the senator will not be called. Meanwhile, the grand jury contin- ued its work behind closed doors, with no word from District Attorney P. W. Lanier as to its progress. The jury convened on a heavy calendar but without, reliable reports said, hearing any witnesses from former Langer’s defence fund committee. It was reported the grand jury in- dicted Hugh Palmer, held at Long Beach, Calif., on a fugitive from jus- tice charge.

In other words, the scheme is not reasonable.” Concerning a report that Ethiopia would cede Ogaden and Danakil to Italy, in return for grants by Eng- land and France of their Somalilands |to Ethiopia, the spokesman said: “Have you ever been to Ogaden and Danakil? Ogaden is nothing but a vast desert, uninhabitable by Italians. As for Danakil it has been truly de- scribed by travelers as the hell hole of creation.” Series of Suggestions The newspaper Jornale des Nations described the report of the five-power committee set up by the league coun- cil to deal with the Italo-Ethiopian crisis as a series of suggestions, rather than a definite project to be accepted or rejected. The plan was described as one for modernization of Ethiopia, provid- ing for a principal foreign adviser with great powers, similar in function to the adviser which the league sug- gested for Liberia. ‘ Baron Pompeo Aloisi, chief delegate of Premier Benito Mussolini, has been informed unofficially of the essentials of the report but has not seen the text. Aloisi warned Premier Laval of France that Italy would withdraw its delegates from the league of nations if the league council’s five-power com- ‘mittee submitted a “last word” offer. Mobilize in One Day General orders concerning # one- day mobilization throughout Italy, proclaiming it to be of “military char- acter,” coincided Wednesday with the calling of s session of Premier Musso- lini’s cabinet. The Italian press said the cabinet was meeting to consider Italy's answer to reports of British naval concentration in the Mediter- ranean, The mobilization orders, issued by General Secretary Achille Starace at Milan, did not designate the date of the call to arms, but warned party secretaries the kingdom to make ready immed- jately. The signal is expected to bring be- tween 6,000,000 and 10,000,000 black- shirts, and citizens to attention. Not Warlike Gesture A Downing street official said Wed- nesday nothing justifies any assump- tion that Great Britain’s naval man- euvers in the Mediterranean are be- ing made in anticipation of an out- Pras of Anglo-Italian hostilities. “The movements are simply pre- cautionary in view of the situation, and there is nothing provocative in them,” he said, Authoritative sources pointed out that the fleet movements were not FERA Gets $150,000 For Last of Month Washington, Sept. 18—(#)}—The re- administration cut a third Galen Vermcol: ater the list Jamestown Tuesday night and a car/lief and owned by A.
