\. D. NATIONAL
GUARD WOULD
HAVE new HEAD
Bill Would Make Radical
Changes in Qualifications
of Adjutant.

Bismarck. N. D.. Jan. 31.-A. c.
Townley's intent to add to the vast
political machine which he is building
up in North Dakota the military es-
stall as its head, in the office Of ad-
tutant general, at a salary advanced
from the present rate of $1,000 to 49,
900 per annum, Lee S. Horst, a former
league organizer, is seen by friends OF
the North Dakota national guard in
House Bill No. 50. introduced We'd
nesday by the committee on military
affairs.
This bill .abandons the present
eral from the highest ranking officer
Of the national guard of North Dako-
ia who will accept the appointment
and provides that 'such adjutant gen.
eral shall have had at. least six months
continuous service in any military or
ganization Of this state or the United
States" The provision Of the present
shall have seen at least three years
active service in the national guard,
Immediately preceding his appoint
ment. also is eliminated.
Under the league bill any national
army man. or member of the federal
army, who shall have seen Just six
months continuous service may be-
come the neaO OF the NOrLn DakOCa
national guard. The adjutant general
under the league scheme need never
have been a citizen Of North Dakota
nora member of its national guard.
He may be imported from Texas or
from Maine. from Massachusetts, or
from idaho. He need have no knowl-
edge Of or sympathy with the national
guard as it has been established in
this state for thirty years, and he may
claim immediate precedence e such
veterans as Coils. John H. Frame and
Frank White, Majors Frank Henry. j.
II. Hanley and others who have seer
a score or years service with the
national guard. fighting their coun-
try's battles through the Spanish
American and the great worlds war,
II devoting the best efforts of a life
time to the building up Of the national
guard.
The bill appears to be specifically
aimed at the adjutant ~generalship, as
the method Of selecting the judge ad-
vocate and the paymaster is not
changed. The salary advance from
$1,000 to $4,000 will meet with gen.
eral approval in national guard cir
cIes, for the present stipend has been
so beggarly that only military men
with Independent incomes could afford
to serve the state in this important
capacity.

 Hartford, Feb. 26-The rivers, bridges and harbors commission was given hearing before the committee on appropriations in the legislature, the commissioners asking for $150,000 for improvements at the New London ter ! n1inal. Frank V. Chappell, president, and Christopher L. Avery, a member I of the commission. explained the needs | of the appropriation. Waldo Clark, l engineer of the bridge, was prepared ] to explain map of the pier property, l including approach to the new state highway bridge. but this was declared unnecessary, as the committee an-
 nounced that a visit would be made
 to the property in the near future.
 1 Mir. Avery stated the sum of S60,000 was asked for the construction of a
 causeway over the terminal property, l to be used in connection with the ap-
 proach to the highway bridge, the property of the state. The sum of $50, ,000 to take over the ownership of
 property that is now leased by the
 state and 1000 to establish a fire
 sprinkling system. The purpose is to
 take over the title of tie property,
 which is now leased for a tedm of years at nominal rental of $1,000 a year. The pier property has received

 year s97 ,000, and quarterly payment
 had been made Wednesday, and thus far has been an per cent. investment to the state, and the return would probably be increased when the state pier is relinquished by the government now being utilized for naval purposes President Chappell said that the s50,00o asked for the building of {
 causeway in connection with the ap- proach to the state highway bridge was an absolute necessity, for if thiS was not done railroad traffic to tht
 pier would not be possible. MT. Chap

the interest of the state to construct the state pier terminal and to secure land and water sufficient for cxpan- sion. This has been done and the property is an asset of the state. The necessary property was secured at a nominal rental of $1,000 year for a long term, and with the agreement that the commission have option to purchase for $5,000. So this appro- priation is needed, so as to be ill po- sition to get clear title to the prop erty. The government has expended
 S60,o00 on the state pier and it is ex- pected that most Of the improvements will be allowed to remain, but may plan to remove the electric light plant, which cost S12,000. The commissoin would like to be prepared to purchase the plant for 5000.
 Highway Commissioner Mcdonald was present by invitation of tho com mittee and will be questioned at the executive session.
 The tuberculosis commission was before the committee on appropria- l tions in explanation of appropriations aggregating $S24,0OO for the mainte- nance of the institution for children al 1 Mantle, where a site has been pur- i chased. Judge E. l. Bush of Mantle I told the committee that parties op-
 posed to the location were present and would like to be heard on that point | He said a better site could be substi- l tuted and offered to the commission
 and asked that if the committee would
 not give hearing on that matter if the tuberculosis commission would do tha favor. The committee chairman tolt 1 Mr. Bush that the committee coulC
 only consider the appropriation ant
