TARDIEU SAYS
THERE WILL Be
NO CENSORSHIP
Repeats Pledge of French
Government Regarding
Conference News.

Paris. Jan. 2s.-Captain Andre
Tardieu, French high commissioner
to- the United States and q French
delegate to the peace conference, in
his speech Monday at a luncheon to
members of the foreign press, repeat
cd the pledge given by the French
government that no, censorship Of
foreign cables would be exercised by
France and the promise that every
reasonable facility would be given
foreign newspapers during the con-
ference. On the first point, accord
ing to the official report of the cap
tain's speech which now is available,
his words were:
CATER rapidity Of transmission,
your second need is freedom. This
liberty which you have from the
French point of view is total, abso-
lutte and unreserved. What you write
will be transmitted just as you write
it"'
''The French press, as you know, is
still under censorship and the gov
ernment has the right to suppress any
information liable to threaten the
safety of the country outside as we'll
as inside. This government, on the
other hand, will not limit the liberty
of it's judgments and articles are not
to be censored even when as some
times happens they are not particu-
larly complimentary to the ministers
and our administration"

Bills
ON PROGRAM
FOR THE DAY
House Bill Is Before House
This Afternoon-Tax
Committee Meets.
(By Staff Correspondent

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 28.-The SEN
ate and house convened this afternoon
with very little on the calendars, their
being but two or three minor bills on
general orders.
House Bill rs which caused the ma
jority SO much trouble last week when
they could not explain it, is before
the house this afternoon with a
recommendation to pass and it un-
doubtedly will go through. 1t relates
to the exemption of personal property
from attachment, levy and sale on
execution.
Interest in today's session centered
in the meeting Of the senate tax COM
mittee which is considering the Nom
partisan leagues gigantic program for
tax revision and new taxes Geo. Wal
lace and H. H. Steele. members of the
tax commission. again were before the
committee to discuss features of the
various bills.
1t is understood that the members
of the committee are opposed to the
one man tax commission bill which
was introduced in the senate yester-
day. The income tax alone calls for an
immense amount of new executives
and routine work and it is felt that
one man cannot attend to this and the
other tax matters. The committee has
taken no action on this bill however.
Ihere is considerable interest in the
appearance here tonight of r. o.
Richards, of South Dakota, author of
the Richards primary law which
was adopted in South Dakota last
year.
O. B. Burtness' bill providing for
the Nonpartisan election of all state
and county officers is patterned after
the Richards law and Mr.. Richards
was brought here to explain it's fea-
lures.
Townley has adopted the program
this week of holding morning sessions
Of the caucus
Another one was held this morning
when plans were completed for intro
ducfng the bill providing for the five
million dollar. bond issue for state
owned elevators and other measures.

Of Bill Begins. j.
{By star Correpondent.l

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 28.-The real
changes contemplated in the Nom
partisan leagues tax program are
just beginning to dawn upon many Of
the legislators. The bill which re-
lates to assessments Of improvements
upon city property, as compared to
the exemption of improvements on
agricultural lands, is arousing consid-
erable interest, and when the senate
committee begins consideration Of It,,
there undoubtedly will be a few in
teresting sessions. ~
This bill, listed as S! B. No. A and
presented by the committee on taxes
and tax laws, throws the light upon
the head Of exemptions, this bill sets
forth the status of farm and city inn
provements as follows:
80. All structures and improve
ments on agricultural lands.
10. Structures and improvements
used as homes on town or city lots.
to the amount of $2,500, provided
that the total value of such struc-
lures and improvements be not in ex-
cess of $500"
All improvements Of all kind on
farms are thusly absolutely exempt
ed from taxation of all kinds. while
in cities, all Improvements on land
worth less than $4,000 are exempted
from taxation.
If the city improvements are worth
not to exceed $500, the owner is en-
titled to the $4,000 exemption, but If
the improvements are worth $3,501,
then the owner must pay taxes on
the entire value with no exemptions
whatever.
The same principle is followed in

(By STAR Correspondent)

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 28.-
Walter Thomas Mills, author of
'The Struggle for Existence" and
adviser extraordinary to A. @.
Townley and the secret caucus
of the North Dakota legislature.
has been very active In various
parts Of the country. His activi-
ties in Bismarck since before the
session opened have made people
in various sections of the country
search their minds for knowledge
of other exploits of his, and, q

very interesting things. He won.

knows of is the same Walter
Thomas Mills who is ''cavOrting"

editor says, 'sthc idea sounds
mighty reasonable" The letter,
which was printed in a recent edi-
tion OF The Dispatch, follows:
ITO, the Editor of The Dis

II see that one Walter Thomas
Mills is sitting up nights in
Jamestown, N. D., teaching the

imported from California by the
league to teach the N. d. farmers
now to vote and how to make
farming a bowling success.
II wish to inquire whether he

tic, nondescript that some years
lgo persuaded lot of gulliblc
farmers to join him in a COM
munistic venture in farming In
Michigan. The land was to be

an agricultural millennium was

and the gullibles were q little
older and some wiser.
''NOt so with Mills. His fertile
