Some of the big boosts made in
equalizing property values among
the vat.ous counties were: Bank
stock, 5 to 300 per cent; electric

merchandise, 30; all flour mills, so;
elevators and grain warehouses. 10

turned by fifteen county boards were
raised, the highest being As per cent

tons were made in any farm land
assessments.

that 355 millions of assessable prop

ASK FARMERS TO TAKE
THEIR PREMIUMS BACK
Companies That Insured Against
Drought Would "cali IL OF" as
Result of Heavy Losses.

Reports have been made to the
state insurance commission that a
drought insurance" company that
operated in western North Dakota
this year, is asking policy holders to
accept the. return of their premiums,
and calf It off.
Brought losses, 1t is under
stood, are being pointed to by the
men calling on the policy holders,
as being so great that the company
cannot pay out If the farmers at
tempt to hold it to the policy agree
ment. Hence they are said to be
offering the return Of the premiums.
At the time these companies were
soliciting business, the state insur-
ance commissioner, S. A. Olsness,
called the attention of the farmers
to the exact form of insurance they
were buying.

WHITE ACTION
OPENS WAY TO
BOARD CONTROL
Retirement of Regent May
Bring Step to Gust Scow
and Power
DELAYS ACTION ON
PICKING PRESIDENT
Possibility of Changed Per-
sonnet Holds Up Univer-
sity Situation

The retirement of Frank White
Valley City, from the state board OF
regents, and the fact that the admin
istration is expected to take steps
against at least two members of the
state regent board-Emil Scow and
j. A. Powers-may operate to delay
action by the board in the selection
of a successor to Frank l.. McVey,
resigned president OF the University
of North Dakota.
For some time, the administration
has been anxious to gain control of
the board of regents, and the
resignation of Mr.. White, followed
by the immediate appointment OF
Rev. c. e. Vermilya, of Valley City,
to the position, opens the way.
Messrs. Power and Scow hold their
positions at the present time by
virtue of the fact that Governor
Frazier has made no appointment to
fill the posts, though the terms to
which the two members were
originally. named, expired July 1,
last. Messrs. Power and Scow hold
to the theory that the governor is
powerless to legally appoint success
sors at this time, inasmuch as he
failed to make appointments that OBJ
tanned. the confirmation of the state
senate in the last session of the
legislature:
Once Proposed Board Removal.
Some time ago, the administration
proposed the removal of the entire
board of regents as a means of gain
ing control Mr.. Whites voluntary
retirement, brought about by his
acceptance of the colonelshfp in the
new North Dakota regiment--Second
infantry regiment-makes it neces-
sary for the administration to secure
only two positions on the board
those of Messrs. Power and Scow-
to gain control.
The term to which Mr.. White was
appointed did not expire for two,
more years. DR.. j. ID. Taylor has
two more years to serve, while L. + !,
Crawford has four more years to
serve.
Whites Resignation.
Col. Frank White, in retiring from
the Office, addressed the following
letter to the governor:
Dear Governor: Having accept
ed your commission as colonel of the
Second regiment, / hereby submit
my resignation as a member of the
state board Of regents, the resigna-
ton to take effect at your con-
venience. My duties as colonel of
the Second regiment will necessitate
my absence from the state and UNI
doubtedly from the nation, and as a
result would be unable to give the
Office of a member of the board Of
regents the attention 1t should have.
It is with considerable regret that I
give up my duties in connection with
the educational institutions of the.
state, as have enjoyed the
acquaintance have formed by such
CONNECTIONS, and have enjoyed my
duties. The state educational
institutions are growing and
developing rapidly, and the people
of the state can well be proud of
them. With best personal regards"

Not to Raise 3rd Regiment.

Columbia, May 12.-Neither a
third regiment or infantry or a
squadron of cavalry for the National
Guard OF South Carolina will be
raised. This decision was reached
today by Governor Manning after he
had considered the entire problem
in conference with military officials of
the State and other officers, in whose
Judgment he has great confidence.
The conference was the result of a
recent letter from the chief of the
Militia bureau in Washington, which
gave in detail the requirements OF
the formation of new units, and
which set forth conditions that, in tn.
unanimous opinion of the conferees,
are practically impossible for this
State to meet.
While the Militia bureau gives the
chief executive his discretion in or
ganizing new units, its attitude is
distinctly discouraging. The war de-
partment believes that troops can
be organized as purely federal forces
more expeditiously and with greater
efficiency in accordance with the plan
proposed by the president.

Measure Stripped Of Newspaper Gem

Washington, May l4.-After near

innumerable problems of the war,
the senate, by vote OF II to s, to-
night passed the administration es-
pionage bill. pronounced one of the
most drastic and all-inclusiye meas
ures in American congressional his
tory.
A similar bill has passed the house
and virtual redrafting of many of the
most important provisions is expect
ed in the forthcoming conferences.
During today's final consideration
the senate stripped the measure en-
tirely of provisions for newspaper
censorship and restriction upon man
ufacture of grain into Intoxicating
liquors; and rejected an amendment
designed to curb speculation in food
products, although sentiment OBJ
viously was overwhelming in favor Of
such legislation.
