STATE RIGHTS IS HIS PLEA

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 7.-An at
tack on the. copstitutiopaiity a of the
pending child labor bill .las iiade in
the senate today by Senator overman
Of North Carolina, who insisted that
the issue be submitted to the states
as a constitutional amendment.
'Tf this legislation is constitution
al" declared the senator, there will
be nothing left of the rights of the
states, but there will be an absolute
absorption Of the police powers Of
forty-eight sovereign commonwealths
and there will be no barrier in the
way of the Capitalization of all power
in Washington to which goal we are
now rapidly drifting"
Overman submitted statistics de-
signed to show the beneficial effect
upon society of child labor.
The record Of 1910, he said, showed
only fifteen children in 100000 be-
tween IA and 16 years Of age in North
Carolina committed to jails or work
houses as compared with 279 in Mas
sachusetts, 1919 in Rhode Island and
122 in Missouri

Mott, N. D., Aug. Frank Luchow-

of that order, known to the police OF
Chicago, confessed this morning to the
murder of Louis H. Larson, and this
afternoon he viii be taken to Dickin-
son to guard against the possibility of
lynching at the hands Of enraged
homesteaders, and the further posi-
bility of delivery from jail at the hands
of gangs of I. w. WIS said to be head

With citizens armed to prevent a
raid, and with heavily armed guard
in charge Of the Jail that holds Lang,
officials believe they will be able to
prevent the success of either plan. The
town is also being patrolled by armed
guards, and malcontents that are at
tempting to gather, are being driven
out as rapidly as possible.

FIRST IN
NEED OF
1,OOOMEN

According to Col Arthur johnson,
commandant Of Ft. Smelling where all
North Dakota recruits will be sent in
the future, the First North Dakota In
fantry is short about 1000 to 1900
men.
The regiment was taken out of the
state with only 900 men according to
Colonel Johnson and the state autho-i-
ties have been urged to recruit the
organization up to full strength. There
has been some talk in this state about
raising another regiment but it is in
dicated that this cannot be done until
the First North Dakota is brought up
to it's full strength. All recruits will
be taken to the regiment now on the
Mexican border.
In order that there may be
economy in recruiting, all North Da-
kota recruits will be sent to FIT. Smell
ing and direct tom there to the regi-
ment at the border. ,..
But North Dakota is not the only
state that is short OF men. Minnesota
still needs about 1900 men to bring
the regiments up to the maximum. Re-
cruits for these regiments will also be
sent to Ft. Smelling.

Will Democrats Lower
Income Tax Exemptions?

ents Of the plan insist 1t too small and
might be seized upon as a political
issue in the national campaign.
Members of the sub committee con-
sidering the munitions tax section OF
the revenue bill were at work on their
report which will be ready in a few
days. Protests against the proposed
tax on copper products have resulted
in a compromise. the exact nature Of
which has not been disclosed. 1t Is
known however. that 1t is proposed to
lower the copper excise rate prescribed
in the house bill, and to add to the
munitions list excess taxes on pro-
ducts of lead, zinc, iron and steel.
Again the committee had the sane
ton of President Wilson insofar as
iron and steel are concerned. The
president studied this subject thor
oughly last fall and in his message to
Congress pointed out that tax Of 25
cents per ton on pig iron would yield
cents per ton on fabricated iron and
steel probably $10.000.000.
Administration leaders regard the
revenue problem now as the most i'm
portant before Congress and the An
ance committee hopes to complete its
revision Of the House bill so that it
may be passed upon by the party
CduCuS anu NC ICouy 1OL dSIlSl
within ten days. The houe bill would
provide for about $210.000,o0O In
revenue. The finance committee is
working to present a bill that would
yield $275;000,000 or more.
When Congress will be ready to ad-
journ is giving the president and
party leaders much concern. With the
campaign coming on President Will
sons notification waiting on Congress.
administration leaders are being urged
to hasten legislation as much as pos
sible. The shipping and revenue meas
ures are the two most important bills
to follow child labor legislation, which
will be completed this week. There are
also the conference reports on the
army and navy bills, and a few minor
measures.
Democratic leaders think this pro-
gram can be finished in the first week
of September but their confidence is
not shared by the Republicans who in
tend to debate the shipping and revS
enue measures thoroughly.

Lans's Story of Murder.
According to Lang's story, he and
Larson were en- route to a hay field,
when they quarreled over the use of
a whiffle tree. Lang claims Larson hit
him over the head with a rock and
called him ugly names. In the fight
that ensued, Lang is said to have ad-
mitted grabbing a scale weight, lying
on the wagon and chrushed Larson's
skull.
Both were on the hay rack at the
time, and as they fought, the team
ran away, Larson's body being thrown
from the rig. Lang returned to Lar
sons body, tied the hands GAs1 Gset,
so he couldn't give an alasrn. the
prisoner maintaining that he didn't
know Larson had been killed.
Lang was captured near Dickinson.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Democrats Of
the senate finance committee who vot-
ed to lower the income tax exemp-
tions in the revenue bill are anxious
ly waiting to hear from the country
on the recommendation. which will be
submitted to a party caucus SOME time
this week for approval. protests
against it already have been heard
within the party. The amendment pre-
vailed in the committee by a majority
of but one vote and the minority pro-
poses to fight it in caucus. Its pro-
ponents will use as one argument a
suggestion from President Wilson in
his annual message to the sixty fourth
congress for reduction in the exemp-
ton.
The president, in discussing the need
for more revenue said in his message
that I'VE should be following an al
most universal example of modern
governments if we were to draw the
greater part or even the whole Of the
revenues we need from the income
taxes"
He then added the more specific sug-
gestion which advocates OF the exemp-
ton reduction have called to the at
tention Of their colleagues that by
somewhat lowering the present limits
of exemption and the figure at which
the surtax shall begin to be imposed
and by increasing step by step
throughout the present graduation the
surtax itself, the income, as at present
apportioned would yield sums suffic-
lent to balance the books of the treas
ury at the end Of the fiscal year 1917,
without anywhere making the burden
unreasonably or oppressively heavy"
The amendment would lower the ex-
ernption for persons with families
from $4,000 to $4,000, and for single
persons from $4,000 to $4,000. Demo-
Gratis who oppose the reduction say
the amount Of revenue to be gained
would not be sufficient to warrant
risking possible popular dtsapproval.
The treasury department has estimat-
ed that the new tax, which would be
at the rate of one per cent instead Of
the proposed normal tax Of two per
cent on other incomes. would yield
about $6,00o.000. This amount oppon-
