With the Allied Forces in N w.
Russia, March 2o.-The BOlsleviki are
reinforcing both infantry and artil-
lery at Bolshoia-O -O1era in an endeav-
Or to hold this important point. Yes.
terday the Americans and British at
tackled from the west side of the VII
lcge and Russians supported by
Americans and British attacked along
the east of the road. Fighting under
utmost difficulty the allies were able
to advance beyond the lines of the
Bolsheviki under machine gun fire.
Struggling waist deep in the soft
drifting snow, the forces found a
thanking movement impracticable, and
could progress only two.thirds of a
mile an hour.
Weather Cold. 'E
The weather again has been eX-
tremely cold and Americans and 9TH
ers are finding their first opportun-
>ity to test the new shelters. Their
big guns are moving up drawn by
mules, steadily ~plodding ahead. The
airplanes, equipped with runners in
stead of wheels for alighting on the
snow have attacked many towns. In
the woods where the allied patrOs are
operating the Bolsheviki forces have
tied dogs to trees and give warning
of the approach of the allied yorces.
Their surprise of the allies there
was evidently complete. Some walk
ed two days and two nights through
the snow to escape.

Of Supervisors

cials Selected
BROWN NAMED IN ROLETTE

A possibility that the other two
members OF the state tax commits
sion may be compelled to pass their
appointment OF tax supervisors, as
required by an act of the last legis
lature, over the veto of Chairman G.
E. Wallace is. apparent today. Chair
man Wallace, recently appointed tax
commissioner under the leagues one
man tax commission, had expected to
have the sole voice in the appoint
ment Of these tax supervisors, and
it was understood that all of them
were to be league men. Unfortunate
ly for the success Of this scheme.
both the senate and the house de-
clined to give the One-man tax com
mission bill the two-thirds majority
necessary to give it immediate effect
Although appointed by the governor
and confirmed by the senate, Mr..
Wallace cannot become tax commits
sioner until July l. In the meantime
the act. providing for a tax supervis-
or In each county requires that these
supervisors be appointed at once by
the tax commission. In the face Of
some opposition from Mr.. Wallace,
Commissioners Packard and Steele,
constituting . a majority of the tax
commission, have proceeded under
this act.
TO date the names of fourteen tax
supervisors have been announced
They are as follows:
Benson county-Henry Henrietta.
Leeds. 4-.. IA
Cass-John Martin Fargo.
Dickey-C. C. Misfeldt Glendale.
Dunn-Thomass G. Johnson, Kill
deer. ,.e~ N5
Golden valley-Thomas G. Plom,
ason, Beach.
McIntosh-David Klaus. Ashley.
Morton-H. f. Harmon, lMandan.
Kamsey-A, Il. Smythe, Devils

Stark-Mat Dayer, Dickinson.
stutsman-R M. Stangler, Medina.
Williams-W. G. Owens, Williston.
Rolette--James A. Brown, Rolla.
Renville-A. M. Sorenson, Mohall.
Walsh---JOhn j. Anderson, Grafton.
Not Political. -,
The EsX commission advises that in
the appointment of tax supervisors it
has given no consideration to- pOliti-
cal affiliations but has attempted TO
select the men best qualified for the
JOB. For instance, James A."BrOwn,
supervisor for Rolette county, is at
present chairman Of the state board
of control, on which body he has
served for five years. All of the men
named have offered the best of ere,
dentials, and have been highly en-
dorsed by their fellow citizens.

HOT OLD TIME IN FARGO

Fargo. N. D., March 26.-Fears
that the acts authorizing three state
bond issues. aggregating $l7,0O0,Oo0
will not stand up under the keen
scrutiny of lawyers representing the
big bond houses is agitating North
Dakota NOnpartisan headquarters
here. 1t is said that President Town
ley, who has been here directing the
publicity campaign against LANCER,
Kositzky, Hall, Olson and other
league insurgents, has had some rath-
or hot words with his legal experts
because OF their alleged failure to
make these bonding bills air-tight It
is even limited that special session
o fthe legislature is to be called at an
early date to correct possible defects
or COMMISSIONS is real possibility.
The constitution provides that
Every law authorizing bond issue
shall provide for levying an annual
tax, or make other provisions, suffi-
cient to pay the interest semi-annual-
ly and the principal within thirty
years from the passage Of such law,
and shall specially appropriate the
proceeds of such tax, Or such other
provisions, to the payment of said
principal and interest, and such ap-
preparation shall not be repealed nor
the tax or other provision discOntin-
ued until such oedt, both principal and
interest, shall have been paid"
Looks Good to Layman.
The league bonding bills appear to
a layman to have complied with these
TO- 0A no
earnings of state industries, enter
prises and utilities financed through
the sale OF bonds shall be set aside
to create an interest and sinking
fund, and that should such earnings
in any year fail to suffice, the state
treasurer may dip the difference from
any fund in his possession, to be re-
paid as convenient, or the state board
OF equalization shall spread upon the
tax rolls such levy as shall make
up the deficit.
A fear has been expressed, how.
ever. that these provisions may not be
considered specific enough to protect
the buyers Of state bonds, and that
legal counsel for the large bonding
houses through which these. securi-
ties will he sold may itisist upon the
acts being amended to provide for Il
specific interest and sinking fund to
nay the interest semi-annually and
to retire the Issues within thirty
years as the constitution re 'tlires.
Had this matter come up trifle ear
lier, it is believed the necessary
amendments-if amendments really
are necessary-could have been in
i.l- h,,A Sn
which to prepare, circulate and file
initiative petitions. A special election.
such az predicted by Governor Fra
zier, would seem to be the only re.
course, and astute league leaders are
said to realize the danger OF a special
election at this time.

BOWLING WILL

IRELAND BEGAN
PerpetuatiOn of Aims of North.
vests Beloved Church
Head Announced
Is MAN WITHOUT HOBBIES

St. Paul, March 26.-Perpetuation
of the aims of his predecessor, the late
John Ireland, will be the constant en-
deavor of Monsignor Austin Bowling,
who arrived here yesterday and was
installed as archbishop of the St. Paul
diocese.
II will try to prove worthy sue
cessor to my FRIEND" he said simply.
81 shall seek to further the great and
good work he has been doing"
Archbishop Dowling came here
from Des Moines, Ia, after seven years
as bishop of that diocese.
.,- Is Normal Man
"There's nothing out Of the ordinary
about me-" he said in speaking of his
promotion. 81 don't have any hob
bies; don't collect stamps or butter
flies; l don't sing; when l read l de-
YOUR volumes which most of my
friends would call dull; don't play
chess, for l have no one to play with.
l walk that's about ALL"
II am not a politician; know no
party" he continued, "but l do ad-
mire President Wilson's altruistic
leanings. His messages, too, have
been real literature and have had che
note of sincerity for which we all are
looking"
Perhaps his greatest constructive
work in Des Moines was the purchase
of Des Moines Catholic college and
its establishment last fall, after he
had raised more than $20O,0O0 toward
it during the summer. Several new
parishes were established there during
his tenure. =
Born in New York ~. :.
Born in New York City in 1860, he
spent his childhood in Newport, r. l.,
attending the Sisters academy and
later Manhattan college, where he
graduated with highest honors. His
theological studies completed. at St.
Johns Ecclesiastical seminary at
Brighton, Mass .itF. ~ .t'.F vs. II
After his ordination in the cathe-
dral of st. Peter and Paul, Providence,
Il. l., in June, 1891, Archbishop Dowl-
ing spent several years at Catholic
university in Washington, D. c., at
tanning scholastic records that at
tracted much attention.
Two years at Sacred Heart parish,
East Providence, followed and then
he entered St. Johns seminary at
Brighton as an instructor, occupying
the chair Of church history four years.
Editorial work was the next phase of
church work taken up and for two
years he was editor of the "Provi-
dence Visitor" Catholic publication.
The assistant pastorate of St. Jo-
seph's in Providence followed; then
he was placed in charge of st. Mary's
church in Warren, R. l. The arch

the cathedral of St. Peter and Paul,
Providence, where he had been or
dained. It was in May, 1912, that he
was promoted to the Des Moines dio-

CONSUMERS CO.
MAY NOT APPEAR
Reported at Fargo Today That
Townley System Will Defy
Blue Sky Board

Reports from Fargo today are TO
the effect that the Consumers United
Stores Co. will ignore the request Of
the blue sky commission that officials
Of the Townley chain store scheme
things over with the board.
The blue sky commission last week,
when the Consumers Co. advised that
it did not consider itself bound by the
provisions OF the blue sky laws, apply
mig to dealers in speculative securi-
ties, adopted polite resolutions kindly
suggesting that the Consumers Co.
drop in tomorrow for friendly pow
WOW. The blue sky commission espe-
cially urged discussing the advisability
Of reorganizing the Consumers outfit
on a cooperative basis. similar to
that of the Equity Packing plant or
the Equity exchange, under which the
stockholders have share in the prof
it's of the corporation and voice in it's
management.
The Consumers Co. has been a close
corporation in which there have been
only handful of stockholders. The
certificates for Which some $4,000
North Dakota farmers have paid $100
apiece are not dividend bearing nor
do they entitle the holder to any voice
in the affairs of the parent company
or its local offspring.
Under this arrangement, President
Hastings of the Consumers Co. re-
Gently advised the banking commits
sion that there had been collected, en-
tirely at the disposal of small board
Of directors Of the parent concern,
more than 81 ,5O0,O in resources and
$1,25O, 900 in quick assets.
Some Of the weird uses to which it is
alleged this educational and propa-
ganda fund" has been put may be
brought out at the hearing, providing
the Consumers Co. does show up. IF
the Consumers officials are still miss
ing when the hour for the hearing ar
rives at tomorrow afternoon the
banking commission may find some
way of compelling them to appear.
The hearing is open to the public, and
all interested parties are invited to
attend
