Diplomatic Relations
With Austria Are in
Danger of Severance

Washington, Dec. 10.-Diplomatic
relations with Austria are in grave
danger of being broken off over the
sinking of the Italian liner, AncOna.
with the loss of American lives. All
officials here continued to preserve
silence over the negotiations with
Austria, but through the veil which
has been drawn about the situation is
seen a crisis just as grave as that
which confronted the submarine ne
gotiations with Germany.
The question of continuing diplo-
matte relations may be said to de-
pend upon a satisfactory reply to
Secretary Lansing's note, which now
probably is before the Vienna foreign
office. demanding disavowal of the
sinking of the Ancona reparation for
the lives of Americans and assurance
that passenger ships shall not be at
tackled without warning or an oppor-
tunity given for nOn-combatantS to
take places of safety.
The situation tonight is tense and
fraught with possibilities. 1t is com:

!. There will ibe. no assessment OF

sion of the legislature. The act was
declared Unconstitutional yesterday
by the supreme court in an opinion
written by Justice Burke and concur

/ Two Mills On Dollar. g..,.l
This statute provided Tor tax. or
two mills on the dollar on all money
and credits. In an informal opinion
given some time before action was
started, Attorney General Linde ne;d
that the law would not stand the fire
of the supreme court. Action to test
the law was brought by Henry Amer
land of Fargo, who was represented
by Lawrence & Murphy of Fargo.
George r. Wallace and H. H. Steele,
state tax commits sioners, appeared in
their own behalf.
Enjoin Commission.
The supreme court was asked to
enjoin the state tax commission from
proceeding to enforce the provisions
of the money and credits act. Tne
writ is issued under the opinion.
This act, according 10 the suprem
court, violates section 175 of the
state constitution, which is as fol-
lows:
"No tax shall be levied except in
pursuance of law, and every law i'm.
posing a tax SHALL state distinctly the
object of the same, to which only it
shall be applied"
Judge Burke in his decision inIero
that the original money and credits
bill was tampered with SO as to make
it repugnant to the constitution. We
quote:
"Our conclusion, then, is that the
matter is of sufficient public import
ance; directly affects the sovereign
ty of the state; is calculated to pre-
vent a multiplicity of suits, and the
