GREATEST LOBBY IN
!. HISTORY OF OF STATE
COMING, SAY RUMORS
To Concentrate Efforts upon
Eight Independents Whose
Help is Needed.
WILL THEY STAND
PAT? is QUESTION
Special Trains to Carry
League Members to the
Capital City.
(By Tom Parker Junkin. }

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 6-The great
est lobby ever seen in the history of
Bismarck rs the capital of the state
of North Dakota, will swoop down
upon us within a short time to beat
to earth the rebellious senators who
are standing out against the Non
partisan leaders program for a snap
revision Of the constitution.
North Dakota farmers. members of
the Nonpartisan league, by train loads
will begin to arrive next week, it is
predicted, to inspire the fear of the
Almighty and the "big five" in certain
members of the upper house. who
seem disposed to block the league s
plans for an immediate legislative
convention to revise the basic law
Of tho state.
Ten thousand league members are
expected to share in this the'"greatest
popular demonstration in the history
OF any state"
And those 10000 leaguers will con-
centrate their attention on eight in
dependent senator's. whose votes are
absolutely necessary to the league.
Will those eight senators stand the
gaff?"
Their position is not an enviablo
one. If they are standing out as q
matter Of principle, they may con-
itinue to stand. If policy dictates
their course, as Mawruss says: That's
something else again -

Care for Seven Penal and

(By Tom Parker Junkin. }

Bismarck, y. D., Jan. 6.-The board
of control will ask the budget COM
mittee to approve q total appropria-
ton of s775.S75 for the support Of the
seven penal and charitable institu-
tions Of the state, divided as follows:
Reform school $4,000; penitentiary
$311,SS5; hospital for insane, $780,
coo: feeble minded institution, $780,
$50: school for deaf. S6.S0O: tubercu-
losis sanitorium, saQ,940. The large
appropriations were asked, for peni-
tentlary, institution for feeble mind
ed, and tuberculosis sanitorium be-
cause these institutions have no in
terest or income fund.
Other institutions are provided for
as follows, by bonds: Institute for
the blind. s130.T5o; capitol permanent
fund, s1S5,350; interest and income,
S169,7OO
School for deaf, s174,4s2.51; hospi-
tai for insane. s91,160.70; reform
school. s156,266.66.
Still others cared for by mortgages
are: School for blind. $2.100; capitol
permanent fund, Sla.150; interest and
income, $4,000; school for deaf. $14,-
800: insane hospital. $500: reforma-
tory, $4,000. The endowment and
interest and irEome funds of the blind
school are sufficient to provide for
the needs and is not asking anything
OF legislature. The feeble-minded in
stitute and hospital for the insane re-
ceive from counties SIS for each pa
tient. This is sufficient for the for
mer, but an incrtase to SIS patient
or an added approximation is asked for
the hospital for the insane.

Abstractors Of State Observe
= Proposed Changes in
Torrents System. 2
(By Tom Parker J,rnkin.) J

Bismarck, n. D.. Jan. ,6.-North
Dakota abstractors are beginning to
observe the several notifications Of
the Torrents systems Of land transfers,
which are proposed. Senator McCar-
tens bill provides for an optional
adaptation of the Torrents plan with
district courts as land transfers courts.
and this idea is not entirely obnoxious
to the abstractors. They do, however,
strongly oppose adoption, of icompul-
sorry Sorren's measure, which would
put them out of business.
Senator Stevens is giving the bill
considerable attention. having de-
cided to withhold his own measure
TO- prevent duplication or division Of
effort. ~ 80 :
There is also much interest among
the bankers in Senator Hamilton's
bill, fixing the legal rate, of interest at
8 per cent and reducing the contract
rate from 10 to 8 per cent. at the
same time defining the crime Of usury,
Bankers from all parts of the state
have been in during the past few days
familiarizing themselves with the fine
points Of this measure.

I Stockholm. Jan. 6.-Accordins to
reports reaching here. German expert
menters have succeeded in making a
synthetic rubber-or at least an ac-
ceptable substitute-from pitch, of
which they import great quantities
from Sweden. Similar experiments
have been conducted by various Swed-
ish scientists, but thus far without
success. Many OF them are still of
the orinion. however. that the idea Is
feasible. and are not disposed to
doubt that the Germans have sue
cecded. although they incline to be-
lieye that the discovery cannot yet be
OF great practical significance.
