LEGISLATORS FACE UNUSUAL ISSUES Yechnocracy, State Seces- sion and Scrip Proposed in North Dakota. By the Associated Press. BISMARCK, N. Dak., February 1.— North Daktoa's Legislature is studying an array of proposals perhaps more un- usual than those suggested in any other State of the Union this Winter. Technocracy, secession from the Union, scrip money, “bond currency”— all these and many other unusual terms have stirred members to debate. Seeking sclution of major economic roblems, North Dakota’s legislators ve brought forth admittedly drastic and in some cases revolutionary plans. Senator W. E. Martin, former cow- puncher, advocates secession as an “educational plan” to “wake up the people.” He proposes 38 States secede from the “industrial East.” Technocracy Indorsed. Indorsement of Technocracy’s theories has been advocated by Senator W. E. Matthaei, lawyer, who is one of the outstanding leaders in the Legislature. State Treasurer Alfred S. Dale’s rec- ommendations for a State-wide “scrip” money plan are being studied. H. T. Peterson, a farmer-member of the House, proposes “bend currency” be issued by the State-owned Bank of North Dakcta in exchange for certifi- cates of indebtedness of the State and Political subdivisions, In addition, a movement has been | started to renew national interest in the proposed “child labor” amendment to the Federal Constitution through in- troduction of a ratification resolution in the State Senate. Farm Problem Stressed. Senator E. C. Stucke, physician, said that although North Dakota and 25 other States have rejected the amend- | North ment, he hopes his proposal will be con- eidered anew in the light of economic conditions. Other proposed legislation stresses the farm problem, with plans offered to Woman Show Boss, “Born to the Job,” Knows Business Mrs. Johnny Jones Began Colorful Career as an Elephant Trainer. By the Associated Press. SAVANNAH, Ga., February 1.—Two- fisted men who bark like bass horns, smoke strong cigars and wear large watch fobs—that's popullr fancy’s pic- ture of circus bosses, but, on the other hand, there is Mrs. Johnny Jones, 32, and prettier than the premut in her bathing beauty show. She and her y son, Johnny, jr., inherited the e: ition shows from her late husband, Johnny J. Jones, and she is busy in the Savannah Winter quarters with preparations for the Summer tour.

She's been there, “I was born to the job” she tells you. Her parents were show people and she was born in a circus wagon in Atlanta. They joined the Jones shows when she was 12 and she be- came an elephant trainer. Later Johnny Jones married her. He died in Deland, Fla., two { ago and for a while ‘there’ was litiga- tion with associates regarding manage- ment of the shows, but she and her son have recently come into full owner- ship. me the tax burden, delay foreclosure on farms and in general -nemm .tfi difficult condition of the jorth Dakota farmer. ‘The Nonpartisan League, which in- uuxunud State-owned industrial en- rises over a decade ago, control both l lative branches by substantial ma- Jorities, and all major State offices.

Frederick Huft Payne, Assistant ln Secretary of War since 1930 is retiring from official life on March 4 to assume duties as president of a newly formed textile merchandizing enterprise, the Southeastern Cottons, Inc., of New York, to which office he has just elected. Announcement of the formation of this concern, which has taken-over the business of the Hunter Manufacturing & Commission Co. of New York, was made late yesterday from the office of the Assistant Secretary of War. Howard E. Coffin of Sea Island, Ga., is chair- man of the board of directors. Since the announcement two months ago of Coffin's entry into the textile fleld, plans were pushed for formation of the new co-operative organization which is in some measure a nev de- in textile merchandizing, sin the selling company is controlled by the member mills.

Col. Payne, who was appointed As- sistant Secretary of War in May, 1830, came to the War Department with a wide reputation as a business executive. | Quite naturally, since the November elections, he had determined to go back into business at the expiration of the present administration.

CANBERRA (#).— Aboariginals have flocked to the Granites—the deserted goldflelds in Central Australis—and are eagerly retrieving huts, tin cans, shovels, picks and other junk. But what is more exciting is the fact that the white men sank wonderful wells in this thirsty land. Four months ago there was a grand rush to the Granites when a rich reef, discovered. But the tide noeded when the fleld proved worthless. THURSDAY CADILLAC V-SIXTEEN will be bimited to Tur Hundsod Cara said to be six miles long, was reported |4 RUARY 1933. REPAIRS NEAR FINISH IN 1.
