Committee to Pass Up Balm
ger Controversy
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TABLED
THIS is CONTENTION OF AGRl-
CULTURAL COMMITTEE TO
WHICH THE BALLINGER-P PIN
cHoT REPORTS, TURNED IN
YESTERDAY, WERE REFERRED.

washington, Dec. S.-The Ballinger-
Pinchot reports will not be acted upon
by the house committee on agricul-
ture, to- which they have been referred,
until after the Christmas holidays az
least, and perhaps not at all, accord
ing to present indications.
In fact, members of this committee
cannot see why the report was re-
ferred to them except for the conser-
walton question involved. They pro-
test that the reports having been made
by a special joint committee of con-
gress, should have been left on the
speakers table instead of being re-
ferred to any standing committee.
Just now the committee on agricul-
ture, which is headed by Representa-
tive Scott of Kansas, one of the MEM
bers who was not re-eleoted to the
next congress-, is considering the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill, and while
the committee has not yet had an OPP
to consider the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy, the appropriation
measure win be made a temporary We
hicle for holding up such consideration.

NOT IN FAVOR
Of A BOARD
OF CONTROL
Educators Of State Do Not En-
thuse Over Plan
VIII Ask Legislature to Invest
igate It, However
Another Meeting to Be Held
In Fargo on Jan. 4

That general board of control or
regents, of all the institutions of high
er learning in the state, was not to be
desired, was the almost unanimous
sentiment of the state educators
meeting held at Valley City yesterday.
Pres. J.. H. Worst OF the North Da-
kota Agricultural college has return
ed home from the meeting, which was
attended by the presidents of the diff
ferent state schools and the heads Of
the governing boards of the institu-
tions, besides the governor and state
Superintendent of Public Instruction
w. l.. Stockwell
In the conference 1t was brought out
that the single governing boards of
regents for all state colleges. had
proven very disastrous in every state
where the plan had been inaugurated
The system had proven very unsatls-
factory and "a great deal more expens-
i've.
Furthermore the officials could not
see where there was anything to be
gained by the change. The present
method Of having a separate board for
each college was doing good and eff
feetiye work, and it was demonstrated
that the schools we're not duplicating
in their work among the students.
However, ii was decided that the
question should be given the most
careful consideration, and to that end
the legislature will be asked to ap-
point a committee to study the uues
ton. This committee will probably
take about two years to consider the
proposition and the matter of gem
eral board of regents will be investl-
gated in all the states where this plan
has been in vogue.
Pres. F. E. Smith of the state
science school at Wahpeton was in
Fargo last night on his way home
from the meeting
THE vote of the presidents was
unanimously against such a move"
said Mr.. Smith last night. But they
would like the legislature to appoint
committee from among the educa-
tors to consider the matter and see
If they could recommend any system
that would be better after a very care
full study of the various systems Of
other states and countries.
"Other questions were discussed by
the presidents. and among them was
one. how to develop greater co-op-
Grafton among the institutions and
provide for the handling of the edu-
cational funds by more expert finan-
ciers.
These matters were put over for
more thorough discussion at another
meeting to be held in Fargo, Wednes-
day, Jan. 4. The meeting at Valley
City was notable for absolute har-
mony prevailing among the different
institutions Of the state"

40 end Of criticism of his policy OF
giving up the eight naval stations is
to be heard fom the localities in which
these yads are located. An immense
pressure will be brought to bear on
congress to prevent taking away these
yards, which mean the expenditure Of
thousands of dollars yearly in each
community by the government. The
South Atlantic coast is the portion
hardest hit by the secretary's recon-
mendations, his idea being to CONSOLE
date these stations into one and locate
this at Guantanamo, Cuba, and trans
fer there the New Orleans floating

CONGRESS
IN FAVOR
Clark Says the Lower Hou {
Wants Waterways

washington. Dec S.--That the house
OF representatives, practically every
man in it," is in favor of compre-
hensive and adequate legislation pro-
viding for the Improvement of all the
navigable waters of the United States,
and is equally ready to appropriate
money for carrying on the work, was
the declaration made> to the National
Rivers and Harbors congress today
by Rep Champ Clark, the minority
leader OF the house of representatives.
The declaration was made in the
course of brief and forceful remarks
by Clark during which he advised the
delegates to concentrate their mis-
sionary efforts upon the senate and
the White House.
Clark followed several speakers,
among whom was Gov. Judson Harmon
of Ohio. Harmon entered the hall
during the address of General Bixby,
chief OF the United States engineer
corps, and the speaker was forced to
pause until the applause fer the
Ohioan had died away.
Governor Harmons address was very
brief, and contained little beyond his
expression OF full sympathy with the
cause of the congress, to which he
pledged his support He paid tribute
ia the work of the army engineers and
advised full reliance in their counsels.
THE waterways of the country" he
said, fare free from monopoly by vir-
tue of the constitution OF the country,
and they offer a solution for trans
porration difficulties, which the rail-
roads declared they would soon be
able to overcome

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
