'(By H. D. Paulson)

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. IA fund
Of approximately >$1,000,000 to be
created by the levy of half mill tax
against all taxable property in the
state is proposed in a bill introduced
yesterday by Representative Caddell,
and which is one Of the league legis-
lative bureaus measures.
AS indicated in a dispatch to. The
Forum yesterday, this fund will be
administered by the Industrial Com
mission: It will be distributed ia
returned soldiers on the basis Of $25
for each month the soldier has serv-
ed in the army, and such omney may
be used in completing an education,
or toward the purchase Of home
under the provisions Of the contem-
plated "home building" act the league
has introduced.

ness, this coming from Carl Laemmle
president of the Universal company
who offered him the post Of director.
general of the company.
Mr.. McAdoo's salary, it is stated
will reach six figures. Varying re.
ports as to the amount have been
mentioned, but none verified. The
fact remains that it is at least $780,
600. The salary returned to him fol
his various activities in serving the
Williston graphic., 1919-02-13

government was $4,000 yearly and
his resignation from his important
posts was partially due to financial
matters.
At the Griffith offices in New York
it was stated by Albert Gray, his
manager in the East, that it was Mr..
Fairbanks who proved the deciding
factor in securing the services of
the former secretary. They had
known each other for some time, he
said, and had worked together dur
ing the Liberty Loan campaigns, to
which the star bent his energies.
Details Of the transaction were
consummated in Los Angeles, where
Mr.. McAdoo had gone for rest af-
ter his Government activities. Mn
Fairbanks first broached the PROPOSE
tion and when the former secretary
signified his willingness to accept it
the Big Five held a meeting and i'm
mediately took advantage of the op-
potunity.
That Mr.. McAdoo will prove an
immense asset to the United Artists
Distributing Association, the official
title of the Big Five's company, is
acknowledged by all the big leaders
in the motion picture business. Dur
ing the period in which he was a
member of President Wilson's Cab
met he was known as one of the chief
executives closest advisers. The in
tricacies of putting the Liberty
Loans in motion, organizing machin-
cry for this purpose all over the Uni
ted States were in his hands. The
loans, incidentally, were the largest
ever foated in the world.
AS Director General of the rail-
ways of the United States, Mr.. Nc
Adoo showed an executive ability be-
yond compare.
In statement issued Immediately
after the signing of his contract the
former Secretary of the Treasury
said:
"They (the big fve) have deter
mined not to permit any trust to
destroy competition or to blight or
interfere with the high quality of
their work. They feel that it is of
the utmost Importance to secure the
artistic development of the motion
picture industry, and they believe
that this will be impossible if any
trust should get possession of the
field and menace the business"
Discussing the acquisition of Mr..
McAdoo in the broader aspects of it's
relation to the moving picture busi-
ness, prominent film men expressed
the greatest satisfaction last night.
1--WE think that the entrance Of Mr..
McAdoo into the industry is sure to
prove bully good thing" is the way
Carl Laemmle, president of the Uni
.crsal, summed it up
"ae's fine mar, and we're mighty
g;ad to have him come in," said Sam
uel Goldyn.
"This is step in th~ right direc-
