Desire of Nelson and Schmitt to
Introduce Bill Increasing
Superior Judges

MENTO, jan 6.-The desire of each
of two members to be the one to
introduce in the assembly a bill call
ing for 16 superior judges in San Fran
cisco, instead of II as at present.
promises ITO come near throwing the
San Francisco delegation into a turmoil.
Charles A. Nelson and Milt Schmitt
each have a bill ready for presentation.
and the measures are said to be iden-
tical.
Schmitt as lawyer and agitator for
an increase in the number of judges
in San Francisco, believes 1t is up to
him to introduce the bill. Nelson, who
was indorsed by the union labor party
and is business agent OF the building
trades council, asserts that the labor
party has pledged him to an increase
in the number of judges.
I've been working for the propo-
sition right along. and in view of the
fact that 1 am an attorney I think 1t
is for me to introduce the bill" said
Schmitt today. Il understand Nelson
has decided to step aside. If I don't
introduce the bill it will make me look
foolish"
But Nelson also has a version of the
affair which indicates that he is still
in the contest to decide which shall
have the honor of presenting the meas
ure.
II positively shall present a bill to
Increase the number of judges from
II to IT," said Nelson. 'I am pledged
by the union labor party and shall in
troduce my bill even If another is pre-
sented."

MENTO. Jan. 6.-Senator Gus Hartman
of San Francisco says that he will take
another crack at FIRE insurance legisla-

Il am going to introduce two fire in
surance bills, said Hartman. "One of
them Will be my old anti-compact bill
which was fought so bitterly. aim
TO break the combine of insurance com
panies, just as the antitrust law breaks
up other monopolies. If that bill had
passed before the Firemans Fund would
have been saved millions, but they
fought 1t to their sorrow.
My other bill provides for the addi-
tion TO the powers of the insurance
commissioner of the right to fix fire
insurance rates. 1t will take the power
of arbitrarily fixing different rates In
different blocks of a city from the COM
pany adjusters."

FOR OLD PEOPLE
A Homemade Mixture That Stops Mus
cular Pains and Restores Vigor
and VfriIity

After reaching the age of 40 the hu-
man system gradually declines in vir-
ility and strength and becomes less
able each year to combat sickness Ii
is then that the accumulated poisons
in the blood make themselves manifest
by rheumatic pains in the joints, mus
cles and back.
These warning twinges should be
promptly relieved and serious illness
avoided by using the following pre-
scription which shows wonderful re-
suits, even after the first few doses. ant
it will eventually restore full physical
vigor.

PARCELING PATRONAGE
PROVES VERY DIFFICULT
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
MENTO. Jan. 6.-Patronage is a real
bugaboo in the assembly Law making
is at a standstill while the trouble
some pie is being cut. Thanks to the
insistent demands and the votes of a
large majority in this state each house
has only $500 day to distribute.
With each member of the majority
submitting to the committee the name
of his friend or friends that he desires
on the payroll, the committee has found
itself in dilemma trying to select
desk. Heretofore these berths have
been much in demand but at this time
the republican assemblymen find them
selves with only 81 day for patron
age. That divides easily into 81 and
SO, the pay respectively OF a clerk and
a stenographer. BY dividing his share
of the pie this way an assemblyman
can take care of two persons from his
district. but the member who names a
Sc man finds that he can place only one
person. This leaves him 81 a day
which could be pooled.
1t was expected that the solution
finally would be reached today and the
assembly took a recess from forenoon
until o'clock at which time the COM
mistee was expected to report. The
hour arrived, however, but the COM
mittee still found itself unable to find
suitable men offered for the important
berths. Had the committee reported

Legislation Lobby Will Oppose Bank Tax Bill
BANKS WILL FIGHT
SEPARATE TAX PLAN
Lobby Will Go to Capital to
Oppose the Proposed
Amendment
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SAC
RAMENTO, Jan. e.-NationaI and state
banks in California will have a we'll
organized lobby on hand within the
next few days to fight the passage of
the proposed constitutional amendment
relating TO separate taxation. The con-
tention of the financial institutions will
be that the contemplated system OF
taxation is vicious, so far as they are
concerned, and will lead, if approved, to
wild cat" banking methods. Senator
Leroy A. Wright, floor leader of the
majority. will lead the fight on this
section of the amendment.
Under the constitutional amendment
prepared by the commission on revenue
and taxation banks throughout the
state will be taxed to the extent of /
capital stock, surplus and undivided
profits. Senator Wright said:
This measure in sa far as it af-
fects the banking institutions and
their depositors is vicious. 1t is
wrong in it's very principle, and
should be amended so as to elimi-
nate the financial instructions. In
the state there are banks which
have capital stock of 100000
with surplus and undivided profits
of 100000 in addition. There are
others which have a capital stock
of 100000 with surplus and un-
divided profits of 100000. Now
suppose their deposits are S3,0OO.0O0
each. The first class institutions
will be forced to pay 1 per cent
in taxes, or $1,000. and the latter
will have to pay only l per cent
its capital, surplus and profits,
or $4,000. The former institutions
can only lend as much as the lat
ter, hence their earning power is
about the same, and yet they Will
be forced to pay more than three
times as much in taxes, although
their large capitalization renders
their depositors much safer

Every woman inheritS certain ways OF
doing housework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
of these ideas from ancient times concerns
the washing of clothes. ''Boil EN-, Boil
'em good, is the old tradition. Until the
invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the
only way to wash. Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when a way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub
bing has been found2
Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken their fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid of the hot FIRE,
steam and suds, as well as the back-break-
ing work of hard rubbing
But there's right way and wrong
way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Fol
low the directions on the wrapper anG
you'll have better, easier, cleaner way OF
washing. For other reasons which are ex-
planned on the red and green wrapper,
Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all kitch-
en- purposes as it is for washing.

Suggestions for Night Railroad Trip

Preparations for. nights journey
differ much from those for a day $
trip because the same articles are not
required Hence the selection for the
former must include comfort, and to
secure this one must have personal
experience or suggestions from some
traveller.
For example, a hand mirror, neces-
sity at home, can be dispensed with
for one night, but l would not ad-
wise woman who contemplates max
ing a long journey to be without one.
Back hair has too facile a way of get
ting badly tumbled, and if it is not
put in proper order the whole effect
of smartness of costume may be lost.
Therefore, though for one night it may
be given up. for two it should be con-
sidered necessity.
A long dressing gown-a thin one in
summer and warm one in winter
is better than night robe for sleep
ing. 1t is mistake not to remove
ali the clothing when going to bed,
but at the same time one should be in
condition to go to the dressing room
if necessary, so wrapper fills the
bill completely and is, incidentally.
Jf wash blouse is worn a fresh
collar for the morning is essential.
Beyond this no extra clothing is re-
quired.
Toilet articles resolve themselves
into a box of cold cream: also, either
some toilet water or saturated solution
of borax. The water to be found in
sleeping car IOlleI rooms is not only
lacking in qualities for cleansing, but
the basins are so abused by careless
travellers that very neat woman will
not care to use them. So with her
own cleansing agents she is indepen-
dent. A box of toilet powder, a nail
brush and soap, and a brush and comb
and tooth brush complete this outfit
She must carry her own soap. There
is no greater danger of contracting
skin trouble than by using soap that
has been applied by others. For my
own use pair of big soft gloves is
necessary to travelling comfort and
cleanliness. These L wear through the
night because the CRIME and dinginess
that is rubbed into the hands through
long hours of travel and from contact
with the berth blankets is such that
it often takes time to get them white
again.
Preparations for Retiring Before
retiring to ones berth, it is necessary
to brush the teeth, and this should be
done before removing any garments
For this cleansing it is not particu-
larly conspicuous to retire to the dress
ing room, with toilet case or bag,
Thus one is ready for the berth. When
disrobing one must employ all ones
knowledge of how to travel, and even
then If one sits firmly on the edge OF
the bed and unfastens all garments be-
fore taking them off, they will drop in

The result of the preliminary hear
ing in the case of the state against

miles south Of Medina. and the al
legged crime is said to have occurred
last October during threshing season,
when the defendant Bier came to
the house of the Gums family and
accomplished his purpose, there be.
ing no other person present in the
house at the time except Lizzie
Gums. Bonds are expected to be Sc
cured by the defendant, who is said
to have some little personal property.

MANY NEW COAL BEDS

State Geologist A. G. Leonard has
sent out 6ata concerning the work of
the North Dakota Geological Survey.
Following is a portion of the state
ment Of the work accomplished by
the department:
This survey has recently discovered
that the deposits Of coal, clay and
cement rock are much more extern
sive than was supposed. 1t has found
a number of new coal seams, some Of
which are 10 to 20 feet thick and
have an extent Of over 1000 square
miles. Twenty-one distinct coal beds
are now known in Billings county
alone. Estimates thus gathered show
that North Dakota has more coal
than any other state n'the union. or
500, 0O0, 900, 900 tons. 1t has discov-
cred that the cement rock covers a
larger area than was thought and
many new outcrops have been To-
Gated. The hundreds of tests made
on the clay samples collected by the
Geological Survey have shown the oc-
currence of many valuable high
grade clay deposits, all of which have
been carefully mapped.
