LARDPAIL
CASE IN
i. 5. COURT

Washington, Nov. 21.-The power OF
the states to fix the size of lard pals
was challenged in an appeal today to
the supreme court from decision OF
the North Dakota supreme court, hold
ing valid the North Dakota statute re-
quiring lard pals to contain even
pounds and not fractions Of pounds.
This is an appeal from the action
of the supreme court of North Dakota
in sustaining the action OF Prof. e. r.
Ladd of the agricultural college and
state pure food commissioner in secur-
ing legislation prohibiting the sale of
lard in pals that do not contain an
even number of pounds.
The introduction and passage of the
law was the result of an effort on the
part Of the pure food commissioner to
stop the practice Of institutions put
ting lard in pals on the market in the
state, the pals being marked with the
net weight of the contents but sold
as full pounds, or at least purchased
under the impression that it contained
full pounds. s. "
AS an example. pail Of lard might
be marked that 1t contained two and
seven-e -eighths pounds, and though the
pail contained that amount full weight
it was alleged it was sold or that the
purchaser bought it under the i'm
preston that it contained three full
pounds.
The law was fought in this state
and finally came to the North Dakota
supreme court, that body holding that
the statute in question was a valid
and constitutional one.
The action started before the United
States supreme court lis based on the
ground that a state has not the power
to fix the size OF lard pals as the state
Of North Dakota has done.

MANY STATE INSTITUTIONS
HIT HARD BY THE TAX LEVY

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 21.-The
board of equalization at it's meeting
Friday levied tax of 2.5 mills for
general purposes and 1.5 mills for
special levies and non preferred ap-
preparations. ....
The levy of 1.5 mills for special
levies, as the wolf bounty, bovine tub
erculosis,. glandered horses, education
al institutions, agricultural training
schools and terminal elevators, also in
Guiding non preferred appropriations,
will be insufficient to meet the full
amount of these claims, but will re-
quire a reduction of 1886 per cent
from the total each would have realiz-
ed had the levy been sufficient to
meet the full amount of the intention
of the legislature. The total of these
different items would aggregate the
sumo Of $749,990, but this amount
must be reduced 1885 per cent to
meet the levy which the 1.5 mills will
produce, which is $458,544. The rea-
son that the board could not increase
the 15 mill levy was on account of
the decision of the supreme court,
which declared the / mill educational
tax unconstitutional. Neither the state
board of equalization, nor the admin
istration is to blame for the condt-
tion that exists. as they are simply
compelled by the decision of the court
TO keep within the 4 mill levy declar-
ed constitutional by the court The
figures below show the appropriations
that will be hit by the $3.50 per cent

clared, "on the ground of our grow

Japan, he concluded, would have an
increasingly important role to play in
the world events, and all should be
united to face the problems that may
arise.
1t is regarded as not unlikely that
the Seiyukai opposition will interpol-
late the government on the disposition
of Kiao chow and the islands in the
southern Pacific, including the Caro-
lines, Marianne and Marshall islands,
which were recently occupied by ia
panese warships in the war against
Germany.
Already some capital is being in-
vested in these islands and experts
from the ministries of agriculture and
commerce have been sent there to
study the question Of exploitation of
the marine resources.

Tokyo, Japan, Oct. S0.-A' larger
army and more ships for the navy
were recommended by Count Okuma,
the prime minister, at a meeting of
the governmental parties called to ar
range their program for the impertaaz
diet, which will assemble Dec. s. /
The forthcoming session Of the diet
promises to be of more than usual in
terest, for the Okuma cabinet, as a
cabinet of the minority parties, must
expect to meet some opposition from
the Seiyukai or conservative party,
which controls the majority of the
seats in the house of representatives.
The Okuma program, as outlined at.
the meeting Of his political friends,
calls for two more divisions in the
army.
AFTER careful consideration of the
problem of national defense from the
viewpoints of diplomacy and finance" >"
said the premier, "the ministry has
come to the conclusion that the inter,
national situation does not permit the
postponement of an increase in the
army" J
The premier admitted that the
greater part of the money saved by
economies effected In recent years,
which has been intended for home un-,
dertakings, has had to be used for war
expenses. Nevertheless the cabinet
favored two more divisions in the
army and an increase in the navy.

gotiations are pending by which the
Catholic parish of Cur Lady of Lour-
des will purchase two fifty foot lots
at Belmont and Third avenues from
DR.. G. j. Couvrette and w. III. Shulze
for the erection of it's proposed new
church building. p
w. V. O'Connor, chairman Of the
building committee of the parish, said
today that while the arrangements
for the purchase had not been actually

lieve that they would be brought to a
satisfactory conclusion during the
next day or two.
This purchase would give the new
parish property with frontage of
100 feet along Belmont avenue. af-
fording ample room for both a church
and parsonage.
Mr.. O'Connor stated that while 1t
was now too late to take any steps

going through successfully.
