NEW REVENUE BILL

Washington, February S-The adj
ninistration revenue bill, designed to
raise approximately $3.50, 100000 and
authorizing a bond issue of 100000
300 was practically agreed upon today
by the Democrats of the Senate FL
nance Committee. 1t will be submit
ted to the Democratic caucus for ap-
Toval tomorrow night.
Efforts to induce the committee to
educe or eliminate the proposed ex-
IS profit tax of eight per cent on
Jet incomes of comprehensive and
corporations were unavailing. 1t was
lecided, however, to clarity the Ian
mage of the measure as it pass the
louise in order that there may be no
niscOnstruction. The exemption of
5000 and eight per cent profit on in
'estment is retained.
The committee agreed to amend the
dill by accepting the fiat tax of two
cents pound on oleomargerine pro-
posed by Senator Underwood in lieu
# the present practically prohibitive
tax of ten cents a pound. Dairy inter-
ests are greatly opposed to the amend
'nent and will be given a hearing to-
morrow. Increased inheritance taxes

TWO FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
| FOR WILLIAMS COUNTY

TWO FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
FOR WILLIAMS COUNTY
Two National Farm Loan associa-
tions have been organized in Williams
county. One at Ray with o. L. Ais
pach as secretary and the other at
Williston, with D. L. Todd as secre-
tary. E. w. Hall, county agent for
Williams county, was instrumental in
forming these associations. The plan
is to have these two associations serve
the whole county. A great many let
tiers in regard to the National Farm
Loan associations are being received
by the North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton which indicates the interest that
farmers are taking in the measure.
The county agents are helping the
farmers organize the farm loan banks
so that the farmers in county agent
territory will be the first ones ready
to take advantage of the provisions of
the Federal Farm Loan Act.

tain speculators and spinners had con spired to depress cotton prices
HEFLIN,s STArEMENT

Washington, January 25.-(Special-) Representative Heflin of Alabama and Senator Smith of South Carolina held another conference today and discussed at length the charge that certain spec ulators and spinners had conspired to- gether, through the use of unlawful means on the exchange. to depress the price of cotton.
 Mir. Heflin in discussing this mat ter said:
 The break in the price of cotton on the New York and New Orleans ex- changes few days ago was without warrant or excuse. It was accom- plished by circulation of false rumors and by unlawful manipulation of the future market. In the first place, the present crop and the cotton supply, all told, in the United States after the American mills are supplied. is more than 3,500,000 bales short of what for eign spinners are demanding of us So you see the law of supply and demand calls for an increase instead of de- crease in the price, Tn the second place, we know that crooked and arti- ficial means are employed on the eX changes whenever we see that the price of spot cotton in the south has dropped
 That is what happened when the break came a few days ago. After my conference with Senator Smith of South Carolina today I went to see the chairman of the ways and means com mittee. MT. Kitchin, and told him of my conversation with Senator Smith regarding a tax on certain future con tracts now used on the cotton ex- changes in New York and New Orleans. MT. Kitchin, besides being in favor of honest dealing on the exchanges, Is delighted at the opportunity of ob- taining additional revenue and he has agreed to include certain cotton future contracts in the bill soon to be re- ported by the ways and means com mittee. The exchange that does not promote fair dealing in the cotton bus mess and really helps in the distribu- ton of the cotton crop ought not to be permitted to operate in the United States The crooked conduct of the New York and New Orleans exchanges witnessed in the bear manipulation of last week will not be tolerated any more if we can help it, and l think we can. It is estimated that we can raise $25, 100000 by taxing certain cot ton future contracts"

WILSON'S ADDRESS
 ON WORLD PEACE IS
 |NDORSED BY ROOT

Washington, January 25.-The world peace address of President Wilson to the Senate was interpreted by Elihu Root in speech here today, as an admission that there is no way out of war except by preparation for war, and as denunciation of the course of | Germany. He said he was in full sympathy with the purposes of the speech, which contained much noble idealism."
 MT. Root spoke before the National Security leagues congress of construc- tive patriotism, beginning a three day session. He appealed earnestly for d return to the ''basc principle upon which this government was founed," universal military service, as the only adequate measure of defense American freedom was threatened he declared, by the principle of liberty of na- tional evolution" asserted bw Ger many, the application of which had meant the overwhelming of Servia and Belgium and which, if approved by the world, will mean that "our American freedom will surely die, and die while we live"
 The former Secretary of State con- strued MT. Wilson's proposal for league of nations for peace as meaning thS AOludtlOn or a convention unQ6f which liberty of action would be left to every signatory power to determine it's duty toward the maintenance of peace
 But observe,' he added, "that that agreement is worthless, meaningless unless the nations that enter it keep their power behind it. It will be worthless agreement on our part if we haven't ship or a soldier that we can contribute to the war, if war there ought to be, or to the maintenance O. that peace"
 MT Root turned also to the Presi- cents suggestion that the present war must end in a peace without victory
 Now, I sympathize with that" he declared, but the peace that the Pres ident describes involves the absolute destruction and abandonment of the principles upon which this war was begun. It does not say ,Servia it does not say Belgium, but the chosen head of the American people has declared the principles of the American dem- ocracy in unmistakable terms. And ev- cry word of that declaration, which l believe truly represents the con- science and judgment of the American people, denounces the sacrifice of Bel gium and of Servia and the principles upon which they were made"
 The speakers plea for universal service and his denunciation of Ger many brought his hearers to their feet. cheering time and again

the tenderloin, received in the church at their request today nearly 500 women of the underworld, who wanted to know what was to become of them Their speaker was invited by MT. Smith to a place in the pulpit beside him and she proceeded to give her views of the causes of prostitution Church women, she said, rear their sons so they would not defame wom- en. Low wages and the high cost of liv- ing were the chief reasons for the downfall of many girls, she asserted MT. Smith said he was not making crusade against the women themselves and that he was willing to help any woman in trouble. A minimum wage law was urged by him as a necessity
 MT Smith began his campaign when he was told that street soliciting was being done at the doors of his church The city authorities have pledged themselves to enforce resolutions sug gested by MT. Smith

agreed to by the subcommittee for an automatic increase of the income tax and lowering of the exemptions when ever it is evident that the appropria- tions will exceed revenues. The bill will be laid before the democratic eau GUS tomorrow night and will come up in the House early next week under the present plan.
 After conference today with Sen ator Smith of South Carolina, Repre- sentative Heflin of Alabama an- nounced that he had urged upon Chairman Kitchin of the ways and means committee the inclusion in the revenue bill of tax on cotton future contracts with the idea of producing $25,000,000 revenue annually. Represen- tai tive Heflin said that MT. Kitchin had stated that he was in favor of such a tax and that the matter would be con- sidered by the committee.
 Representative Heflin and Senator Smith at their conference took up rep resentations to them by members of southern cotton exchanges that cer-

Five graceful and pretty girls, who cans play the violin, sing and dance form the piece de resistance on the new bill of Kieth vaudeville that was presented yesterday. They are billed as "The Five Violin Girls, and the act, in addition to being extremely en- tertaining, is presented in novel manner.
 The new bill is very pleasing throughout and was enjoyed by large audiences.
 "The Joy Riders" a musical comedy, numbers among the members of the company, yesterday, several good look ing girls, young man who has a very good voice and a young woman who possesses an unusually attractive con- contralto voice.
 On the new programme there are also three women and a man who perform some wonderful feats in tight wire walking.

 Kaufman and Lillian, a comedy duo, make their most pleasing impression in the song number. sThe Old Fashioned Girl From Virginia" was the recip- tent of several encores.
 The Pathe news pictures are very interesting and entertaining.
