Court Is Asked to Enjoin
Officials From Putting
Non Partisan Leagues
Programme in Operation
Seven Laws Are Assailed
Proposed Bond Issue and
Taxes Are Objected to
in Suit by the Taxpayers
Spccinl Corresponienc

Special Correspondence
FARGO, N. D., April 3.-An action
was brought in the United States Dis
trict Court to-day to enjoin North
Dakota officials from carrying into eff
feet the industrial programme of the
National Nonpartisan League enacted
at the last session of the State Legis-
lature. The suit was brought in the
name of the taxpayers Of the state.
The petition was signed by forty-two
men. The programme calls for state
ownership of industries, particularly
elevators and mills.
The suit alleges violation of the
Federal Constitution in that proposed
taxes would be levied for private pur-
poses, whereas the Constitution pro-
vldes money cannot be collected as
taxes when it is to be used for any but
public purposes.
The constitutionality of North Dakota
laws providing for sl7,OOO,O0O in state
bonds also is attacked on the plea that
the legislation failed to make proper
provision for the payment of bonds.
1t also is charged the Legislature at
tempted to delegate to officials certain
legislative functions, such as fixing
rates of interest, amount of bonds,
their denominations and dates for ma
turity.
1t is believed the outcome of the
action will influence the trend Nom
partisan League propaganda in other
states will take. 1t is pointed out
that If the Federal courts determine
that states are without authority to
engage in private business enterprises
the Nonpartisan League must adopt a
new system of attack to carry it's pro-
gramme into operation.
Seven laws passed by the Legisla-
ture, including those in the leagues
industrial group, are assailed The
taxpayers ask that officials of the
state be enjoined from expending any
public moneys in administering any
of the laws attacked. They demand
that the state, school and university
fund amounting to more than $780,
100000, be saved from investment in
state industrial bonds
The filing of this action to-day may
delay North Dakota's industrial pro
gramme indefinitely, even should it be
ratified at the Forthcoming referendum
election.
The action is to be tried before
Judge c. F. Amidon, of the United
States District Court here. 1t is not
pected in view of the fact that states
three or four months unless the state
demurs to the complaint, move ex-
pected in view of the fact that the
rights are affected

the workers will accept only peace
inspired by the principles set forth in
the course of the Syndicalist meetings
and congresses, and condemning all
notifications of frontiers and the con-

Russia against the Russian revolution.
The manifesto proceeds to declare
that the General Confederation de-
clines to accept any responsib ibiity in
regard to events that may happen if
the delegates at the peace conference
fail to recognize the aspirations and

represent the bulk of mankind.
