The Real Reason.

Two men came running at top
speed toward the station, where tn
train that would carry them to town
in a few minutes was steaming ready
to start. As they reached the sta
ton floor the whistle sounded, and the
train was off. Gasping for breath,
one said to the other, with CHEEKY
good humor:
"En, Jim, tha didna run last
enough
sYea, An did" jim instantly replied,
but All didna start soon enough"

viii Urge Publicity.

Tomorrow Representative Rags
dale, a member of the banking and
currency committee, will offer an
amendment, prepared by himself and
Mr.. Lever, to the emergency amend
ment, which has already passed the
senate, providing that the secretary
o. the treasury shall require banks
receiving emergency currency to re-
port each week the amount issued up
on warehouse receipts for cotton
grain and other agricultural products
and naval stores, the amount loaned
upon such receipts, the amount re-
quested for loan upon such. reports,
the rate o. interest for such loans
and, in case of rejection, the reasons
therefor, which statements shall be
published in newspapers Of general
circulation in the locality of the
banks.
Messrs. Ragsdale and Lever hold
that if these statements are publish
ed the force Of public sentiment in
the communities affected will compel
the banks, if not disposed voluntarily
to do so, to carry aout the intent of
the government that the emergency
currency shall be used for tie pur-
poses for which it is being provided.
May Not Admit State Banks.
1t is now apparent that the bank
ing and currency committee will not
endorse that feature of the Hoke
Smith amendment to the emergency
act admitting State banks to its priv
ileges directly and removing the 10
per cent. tax on State bank currency.
Instead the committee will probably
report in favor of the first part of the
Smith amendment, raising the amount
of commercial assets on which emer-
gency currency may be based to 75
per cent. instead of 80 per cent. as at
present.
The Federal reserve system will
probably be in operation by October
10, and it will afford much more re-
lief, in the opinion of experts, than the
AldrichVreeland act, even in the lat
ter's amended form. Under the Fed
eral reserve act, commercial assets
may be accepted even up to 100 per
cent. as basis for currency

Greiner slowed down and was
almost at a stop at the time of the
collision. In conversation with
MI. Noble he stated that he must
have go excited and instead OF
turning off the gasoline so the
machine would slow down, he
thought he turned it on. At any
rate his speed caused him to make

BILLS TO COVER
MANY SUBJECTS

Bismarck, Aug. Is - When
the members of the next legisla-
ture assemble in Bismarck
in alittle over four months from
now, many people will follow
them with some subject in view;
seine for the purpose of get
ting a job, others who will pro-
pose amendments, repeals or
new laws, others again who will
fight them and there will be
something doing all the time, as
there has never been shortage
yet on any of these.
1t has been limited that there
will be men and women here
who will ask the legislature to
enact law which will prohibit
any women on the streets or pub
lie highways in the state of North
Dakota from wearing peek-a-
boo waists, a slit skirt or trans.
parent dress hereafter, and max
ing the penalty for the violation
of this, the same as that for in
decent exposure.
Some suggestions have been
made by politicians that the pres
ent primary law be repealed o,
emended. 1t is argued that the
present system is expensive; that
a poor man cannot afford to run

for a office, etc. On the otheT
hand there are business men, far
mers and laborers who express
themselves of being highly in fav-
or of the primary law, believing
it to be one of the best laws we
have; that to repeal this law will
again give the political boss the
power of naming and selecting
officers for the Offices, instead of
the people.
There is strong sentiment fa-
voring a law which will abolish
assessors and creating the Of
hce OF county assessor
In the western part of the state,
farmers are agitating law which
will empower the cou..ty COM
missioners to levy a tax for the

claimed that the increase of late
years has been great and an inn
mense amount of grain is Destroy
ed by them each year.

ready figuring on new laws the

busy figuring up the cost of

few days they will make levy

already here, large number are
reported moving west both along
