THREE N. D. GROSSING PROJECTS APPROVED Valley City, Jamestown Elimination Jobs Get Cummins’ Okay Three grade crossing elimination Projects under the federal work relief Program, estimated to cost $89,988, received the approval Tuesday of Robert B. Cummins, state director of the national emergency council. One of the express provisions in the approval was that work be com- menced on the projects not later than April 15 of this year, Cummins stated. Thomas H. Moodie, works progress administrator, previously had ap- proved the projects. Approved were: Pedestrian under- pass on Northern Pacific railroad in Valley City, $22,888; construction of overhead crossing on Great Northern railroad at Hannaford, $47,100; pe- destrians underpass on Northern Pa- cific railroad in Jamestown, $20,000. Approval of these three projects brings the total amount of money al- . located for grade crossing elimina- tion jobs to $1,898,735.67, Cummins PALER WILL FACE CHARGE OF MURDER Man Held in Fargo Accused of | Slaying Harvey Bootlegger in Hijacking The state attorney general's office announced Tuesday that Hugh Pal- mer, now held at Fargo awaiting fed- eral sentence, will be brought to trial in Wells county on a murder charge @s soon as “proper” arrangements can be made. Charles A. Verret, assistant attorney general, said he was awaiting word from federal ‘authorities as to when Palmer can be turned over for trial on a charge of slaying Don Lesmeis- ter of Harvey a year ago in an alleged liquor hijacking. He said he had been informed by Wells county officials that Wells county board members were hesitant in holding the trial at present be- cause of depleted funs, and favored awaiting Palmer’s release on federal charges. The trial, nevertheless, will be held 8 soon as possible, Verret said. Seed-Needy Advised To See County Aides Governor Welford urged farmers throughout North Dakota Tuesday to “advise their county agents immedi- ately” of seed. and seed loan needs, @s congress pondered a bill to make $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 available for loans. Last year's federal appropriation for seed Joans was $40,000,000. A survey Governor Welford said he made in North Dakota “indicates” re- quirements here will not be as great as in 1935, although many farmers will be unable to use the light wheat they have on hand as seed and will be forced to buy heavier, more suitable seed, he said.

It is now six months since William | Aberhart was swept into office by eager voters who were promised “divi- dends” of $25 a month or more from the government. There have been no $25 credit books, and no checks in the mail boxes to{ which many a rural resident trudges | daily and hopefully. Aberhart’s government to date has" been quite orthodox, and no definite step has been taken to put the “basic | dividends for all” plan in effect. 1 It is very hard for the eager ranch- ! ers to remember that Aberhart has! said it would take 18 to 24 months to! gét going on the plan. They know! only that six months have passed— and ho dividends. No Quick Action Expected { Few here expect very specific ac-{ tion on the plan at the present leg- islative session. About the best hope is for general enabling laws, giving { arrange the new system. Scarcely a single member of the present legislature has any previous legislative experience, and many of them have only the vaguest idea of what Social Credit is all about. Aberhart himself says the prov- ince is not yet ready, and that un- til he has placed it on a firm finan- cial bagis, Social Credit and the free dividends might better be delayed. The dominion government has “bailed out” the hard-pressed prov- ince with a loan to refinance debts due in mid-January, but Federal Minister of Finance Dunning has said “this is the last time” without the province accepting some measure of federal control over its finances. Another maturity of bonds is due April 1, and the financial showdown will come then. Seeks to Balance Budget In the meantime, Aberhart has cut the cost of provincial government, shaken up its employes, firing many, made rules against smoking on the Job, called in seed loans to farmers, suspended a state health insurance orthodox ways made a strenuous ef- ; fort to balance the budget. Some Albertans are already shak- ing their heads and saying, “Well, at least, we're getting an efficient administration, Social Credit or no Social Credit.” Aberhart’s partisans grow restless. They want their dividends. The government’s mail is clogged with letters demanding checks. One letter threatened Aberhart’s life un- Jess he “came through,” though it may have been from a practical joker. ‘The usually bland ‘and imperturable Aberhart has been goaded at least once by these complaints into a speech at Calgary, in which he asked the People “to stop your confounded grumbling.” ‘Mystery Man’ Involved There is considerable mystery here Aberhart and Maj. C. H. Douglas, the Premier Aberhart Marks Time on His Social Credit Plan, But Showdown Is in the Offing Aberhart the power to take steps to]: |of waiting. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1936 Scotch economist and engineer who thought up Social Credit. Douglas was here some time be- fore the Aberhart regime, and ex- plained his plan to the legislature, which was more mystified than en- lightened. Major Douglas is expected to come here this spring to tell Albertans how to start the plan for which they have voted, but it seems impossible to find the exact date of his arrival. There have been rumors that Major Douglas is not pleased with Aberhart’s version of Social Credit, or that he feels it will not work in a single prov- ince, These can not be verified until and unless Douglas appears here and ex- pounds his views. To meet grumbling of Aberhart sup- porters, the Calgary Albertan, an influential newspaper, has been sold to interests allied to the Social Credit party, and united with radio station CJCJ and the Social Credit Chronicle. Stock in the merged enterprise will be offered to the public, the first time in Canadian history that con- offered to as wide a public as cares to buy it. Action in Year, Else— { This should give Aberhart a wider and more consistent approach to his constituents, keeping them informed on the status of Social Credit plans | and curbing their impatience. There will be little surprise here if the present legislative session does nothing very definite in starting Social Credit and its “dividends.” But at the session a year or so hence, there will have to be definite and drastic action, or Aberhart will be in trouble—big trouble. The farmers who haunt their mail boxes, plague the local postmasters, write letters to Calgary and Edmon- ton, and attend regular meetings of Social Credit clubs, are getting tired They don’t care how it’s done. They j want their “dividends.” Gleckman Free for At Least 60 Days St. Paul, Feb. 11—(7)}—A 60-day interim before he starts serving a. 18-month sentence for income tax evasion was presumably available Tuesday to Leon M.
