SEEK WAY
TO AVOID
STRIKES

New York, Nov. IA committee
representing various interests is being
organized by the national civic fedora
tiCn to ascertain what amendments to
the present laws are necessary to re-
duce to a minimum such industrial
disturbances as the recent threatened
nationwide strike of railrcad employees
and the strikes of employees of public
utility corporations in New York and
other large cities.
Everit Macy, president of the fedora
ton. who said the committee would
consider possible amendments to the
Newlands act and to the state railway
commission laws. Mr.. Macy said a
committee Of the federation drafted the
Newlands act but the recent contro-
versy between the four brotherhoods
and the railways seemed to show it
was inadequate. He added that Pres
ident Wilson expects congress to con-
slider such additional legislation in
December, a measure modelled after the
Canadian compulsory act already hav
ing been introduced at his suggestion
The federation's committee to con-
slider changes in the laws is to include
representatives Of the railroads. the
brotherhoods, American Federation of
Labor, the federal board of mediation
and conciliation, national association
Of street railway commissioners, ma
tional association of state boards of
arbitration, manufacturers farmers
and shippers. The committee is to

PLAN SPUD HOUSE
Meeting at Park River Today to Talk
on Question.

Park River, N. D., Nov. IA meet
ing OF farmers in the adjacent terri
tory and members of the Park River
Commercial club has been called for,
to discuss the question of building a
potato warehouse at Park River.
The need Of a potato warehouse, or
providing better facilities for handling
the crop at this point, has been more
apparent this season than ever before.
The extensive potato growing in
this neighborhood and the big crop
and high prices this flal, have not only
taxed the present means Of handling
the crop to the limit. but have COM
PEELED farmers in many cases to sell in
the face Of advancing prices because
OF lack Of storage facilities. This has
handicapped many Of them in realiz-
ing the most out Of the crop and in
many instances several hundred dol
lars have been thus sacrificed by each
one.

KOSITZKY
AGAINST
new PLAN
Proposed Change in Time
for Assessments Regarded
as Unfavorable

Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 14.-Double
assessments of new settlers, confusion
and general dissatisfaction would re-
suit, is the belief OF Carl r. Kositzky,
state auditor elect, from the adoption
OF the proposed change in the assess
ment period from April to January
and the extension of the time from
ninety days to six months. Kositzky
expects to find confirmation for his
belief in tour of investigation which
will include the capitals of sister
northwestern states.
To Investigate Methods.
Mr.. Kositzky left yesterday on a
junket which will carry him to Pierre,
S. D.. Des Moines. Ia. Lincoln. Neb.,
and ST. Paul. MINI. In each of these
capitals he will spend some time in
the office of the state auditor, or audi
tor general, and he will pay especial
attention to methods employed in the
assessment of property and to general
taxation matters, with a view to plac-
ing himself in position to pass author
itatively on legislation planned for the
Fifteenth assembly. Public service
corporation taxation will be made a
subject of particular study, as will the
assessment Of town and city property
in comparison with farm lands.
The state auditor elect expects to
go into the duty of assessors, with a
view to recommending in North Da
kota bill which will provide for the
naming Of county assessors to replace
the present township officers. He is
Of the opinion that better results may
be obtained from placing this work
under the direction of one capable Of
fetal in each county. The auditor will
also give his attention to the systems
of accounting in vogue in the Nebras-
ka, Iowa, South Dakota and Mime
sofa state offices.
Must Have Uniformity.
Uniformity in assessment dates
among adjoining states is in my
opinion essential said Mr.. Kositzky
in commenting upon the purposes of
his jaunt. There is some talk Of
changing the assessment period in
North Dakota from April to January
and Of extending the time for the
making of assessments from ninety
days to six months. Other states, 1
find, have generally adopted the plan
of beginning their assessments in
April or May, and several have recent
ly changed the opening date from
Jan. l to early spring. There must be
some reason for this change, and if
the reason Is a good one 1t would seem
inadvisable for North Dakota to re-
verse the procedure followed in other
states.
PERSONALLY, am Of the opinion that
1t is better to begin making assess
ments in April. as we do at present.
and to extend the work over only
three months, rather than a longer
period. A majority of our new settlers
lcome in during the late winter and
early spring months. II they have al
ready been assessed in the states
(which they leave and are assessed
again in North Dakota in January OF
the same fiscal year, they will either
be required to pay a double tax, OF
much confusion and dissatisfaction
will result from the assessors returns
If all of the states assess at the same
time, there would be no possibility OF
q double tax being assessed against
anyone moving from one state to an
other within a six months period"

Washington, Nov. 14.-Members of
the house Of representatives in the
newly elected sixty fifth congress face
one Of the most uncertain organization
situations in the history Of the gov
ernment.
With a few districts still in doubt
the Republicans appear to have a
plurality of four or five members and
a possible majority of two or three
when it is figured that an Independent
elected in Massachusetts and Prog
ressive elected in Minnesota probably
will vote with them for organization
purposes. Independence of action has
characterized a number of reelected
members on the Republican side, how
ever, and their attitude toward Demo-
cratic legislation in the last few years
has given Democratic leaders cause for
hope that some of them might carry
their independence into the organiza-
ton of the next house.
On the face of the unofficial returns
the political division of the house is
so close that an effective and certain
working majority does not exist. In
view Of the situation it is regarded by
Democratic leaders as improbable that
President Wilson will call an extra
session Of the new congress next
spring. In that case the organization
fight will not come until the regular
mean maneuvering for more than a
year in the contest for speakership OF
the house and the organization Of i'm
portant committees.
AS matters stand today, the candi-
date of the Republicans for speaker
will be James r. Mann, present mi
nority leader. Speaker Clark generally
is regarded as the Democratic choice
to succeed himself, already, however,
M
because of the close political division.
On the Republican side there are re-
ports of disaffections against the mi
nority leaders and candidate for speak
er on the part of members who 1t Is
suggested, might vote for Clark in
stead. Consequently there is gossip
among some Republicans regarding
man as candidate for speaker, If one
can be found upon whom the Repub-
lican membership could unite.
Some interesting and lively party
conferences on both sides before any
organization tickets are finally launch
ed, is assured. AS the Democrats ar-
parently will be in the minority some
tain he will be a candidate to succeed
himself Unless he can be elected
speaker they prefer that he abandon
the race and become a candidate for
minority leader, the post he held for
many years before the Democratic
|ascendancy in 1912. Such develop
ment might precipitate a lively con-
test within the Democratic ranks with
Claude Kitchin, the present majority
leader, and Speaker Clark as rival
candidates for the minority leader
ship.
The congressional result in New
Mexico is doubtful, the chances now
favoring the Democrats. In Pennsyl-
vania there are two districts and

What About Congress?
Republicans Appear to
Have Control of House

possibly three where the soldier vote
when counted may change the results.
In two Of these Republicans and in
one q Democrat, have been elected by
small majorities on the face of the re-
turns thus far reported. In the Tenth
North Carolina district. Britt, a Re-
publican, is claiming the election over
Weaver, Democrat, by 13 majority.
In the event of Republican organi-
zation OF the house the majority
leadership under seniority rule would
go to Joseph w. Fordney, of Michigan,
who automatically would become
chairman Of the ways and means COM
mittee. Among the majority mem
bers Of that important committee
which would have charge of tariff re-
vision would be Representatives
Hill of Connecticut, Longworth of
Ohio, Gardner Of Massachusetts,
Moore of Pennsylvania, Green of Iowa,
and Fairchild of New York. Repre-
sentative Gillet Of Massachusetts,
probably will succeed Fitzgerald of
New York as chairman of the ap-
propriations committee and with him
in control of this committee would be
former Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentative Slenp Of Virginia, - Good of
Iowa, Mondell of Wyoming, Ware Of
Penna and Davis of Minnesota.
Among other important probable
changes would be Hayes of California
to succeed Glass of Virginia, as chair
man OF banking and currency; Cooper
of Wisconsin, for Flood, on foreign af-
fairs; Esch Of Wisconsin, for Adamson
of Georgia, on interstate and foreign
commerce; Volstead Of Minnesota for
Webb, Of North Carolina, on judiciary;
Albert Johnson of Washington, for
Burnett Of Alabama, on immigration;
Kahn of California, for Dent of
a In ha al PIrfla
of Penna, for Padgett Of Tennessee,
on naval affairs; Greene of Massa-
chusetts for Alexander of Missouri, on
merchant marine; Steenerson of
Minnesota, for Moon Of Tennessee, on
postoffice; Lenroot Of Wisconsin, for
Ferris Of Oklahoma, on public lands
and Campbell Of Kansas for Henry of
Texas on rules.
Whatever happens Republicans can
not control legislation in the next
congress because the new senate will
be Democratic by a safe working
majority or twelve In this situation
little partisan legislation can be looked
for during the first part Of the new
Wilson administration. Because of
this administration leaders will exert
every possible effort to complete the
Democratic legislative program before
March next when the Sixty-fourth
congress will end.
Important legislation which is to be
pushed as soon as congress convenes
in December includes immigration re-
form, a corrupt practices law further
to limit political campaign expendi-
lures, conservation and water power
legislation, revision of the laws affect
ing railroads, a vocational education
law, a law to permit organization of
collective selling agencies in foreign
countries and further measures to
perfect the national defense.

Hankins hardware store was burglar
lied, the crude manner going to show
the burglars were amateurs or pos
sibly local youngsters. Windows in
both the back end Of the store and
warehouse were taken out to effect
an entrance, and the glass in the door
between the store and warehouse was
removed. An automatic revolver and a
number of jack knives were taken.
The till was opened, but there was no
money in it. The door to the safe, that
contained 5000, was open. but the safe
was not meddled with. 1t is an as
sured conclusion the whole thing was
the work of novices or of boys.
