WANT WARDEN
LODGE LEASE
Occupancy of New Building
by Sons of Norway
Discussed,

1t was reported this afternoon that
the Warden lodge. Sons of Norway
order, has been approached with an
offer for a long term lease of quar-
tiers on the second floor of the build
ing now being erected for the pur-
pose of affording a home for the
planned Grand Forks Townley news
paper. The alternative of a direct
financial interest in the building was
offered by Representatives of those
who are in charge of the future ar
rangements Of the local Townley
propaganda.
The matter was presented to the
Warden lodge at its regular meeting
last week. and A. G. Sorlie, president
of the lodge, was invited to take the
floor to explain the offer. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Sorlie endorsed the
plan and recommended that the trus-
sition because it held out the prospect
of h lodge securing its own quarters
in the future.
While no definite action was taken,
the matter vas referred to the trus-
tees, L. H. Sannes,. Paul How and o.
K. Waxvik,. who Ore expected to
make a report at the meeting which
will be held July II.
Members Don't Like 1t.
It was said freely among members
that the consensus Of opinion is de-
cidedly against accepting the offer,
and some members have even gone so
far that they nave threatened to
withdraw from the lodge if the offer
is accepted.
1t is not improbable, according to
reports circulated today, that one of
the Warden trustees may go to st.
Paul to see Mr.. Townley regarding the
proposed lease as it is felt that some
concrete information ought to be in
corporated in the report which Is to
be presented to the lodge.
The Norwegian club is also said to
have received overtures Concerning
quarters in the new building, but the
club received the offer with cold in.
difference and did not even deem II
worth while to bring, it before a
meeting. The offer to the Norwegian
club is reported to have come
through Mr.. Sorlie.

PASS BIG WAR
BILL PROMPTLY.
URGES PENROSE
Pennsylvania Senator Strong
ly DissentS From 1920 Tax
Provision, but Supports
BY Associated Press

Washington, Dec. II. - Prompt
passage of the war revenue bill was
urged in the Senate to-day by Sena-
tor Penrose, of Pennsylvania. senior
Republican member of the finance
committee.
Senator Penrose gave his views
when the Senate reached the income
tax section which provides for re-
duction of rates in 1920. Chairman
Simmons of the finance committee.
in charge of the bin, had formally
annouced that every effort would be
made to. reach a final vote on the
measure before the. holidays.
Although strongly dissenting from
the provision for 1920 taxes, Sena-
tor Penrose urged early passage of
the bill with a view to revision later.
He favored abolishing war excess
profits taxes and substitution of a
new system of fiat income taxes.
1t is because the bill is essential
ly a war measure, he said, that |
am willing to support it. although
dissenting from the special 1920 pro-
visions. II has received more care
full thought by far than any pre-
vious internal revenue measure in
this country. It is more clearly and
consistently drafted and supplied
with wiser administrative provisions
than any other measure.
Il cannot disguise the fact that /
feel anxious as to the effect upon
the public of the attempt to apply
such higher rates of income and
profits taxes are are provided. ] am
also convinced that the great body
of intelligent and patriotic business
men and taxpayers throughout the
land are willing to accept these rates
and desire the measure passed.
Undoubtedly many defects will
have TO be provided for by remedial
legislation i'm the future. 1t Seems,
however, to be the best that can be
had at the present time and it is
unquestionably better than any pre-
ceding law. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the bill will be passed
pomptly."
The bills rates, Senator Penrose
said reach the limit of endurance"
and only are entitled to support as
war emergency. He added that tax
reductions as government require
ments shrink during rehabilitation
and reconstruction and are certain
in the future.
