under indictment for disloyalty, and
other members of the inner circle are
neAe, lolding daily and nlgnuy con-
1erenCes.
41s soon as they arrive, the dyed-in-
wool league legislators are taken into
conference, and evidently sworn to
silence. None OF them knows any
cElng" as to program.
Brinton volunteered the informa-
ton today that the biggest gathering
of:newspaper men in the state" would
be -on the job some time during the
session. "When we introduce our
newspaper program, they will be here"
he saau. When asked what they con-
templated, he said that they proposed
to give the country newspaperman
square deal. Corrlder gossip is to the
effect that the league contcmplates
making one newspaper in each county
the legal paper of the printed official
proceedings. The league papers o1
course, would fare we'll under this pro-
gram.
Much interest is being shown in the
report of the budget board. The re-
port is not ready to be submitted. The
board plans to place all state educa-
tional institutions on the same basis
,, so far as maintenance funds are con-
cerned, as the board Of control has of
the institutions. AS it is now, eauca-
tional institutions receive mainten-
ance money from several different
sources, such as appropriations, tut
tion, etc. And no accounting is made
! to the state auditor or treasurer as to
how much money from some Of these
sources is spent. The plan is to make
! the state treasurer custodian of all
funds.
There is much talk of a state bank
law and an employers liability act.
(, but no one seems to be able to give any
information as to the plans of leaders.
The question of committee appoint
ments also is receiving much atten-
tion, but no information as to organi-
zation is available. Lieutenant Cover
nor Wood said that the senate COM
mittees probably viii lnot be announc-
ed until the Hamilton-M -McKendall con-
test over the seat is decided.
I Walter Maddox of Mountrail coun-
ty, is being doomed by many as the
speaker of the house. Townley is sale
to favor Stair of Bottineau,. his chief
lieutenant in the house two years ago
but he is an unpopular choice with the
rank and file of the legislators. Bow.
man of Klum, also is being talked OF
but he is said to favor Maddox.

TRADE BONDS,
DODGE TAXES
INVESTIGATOR SAYS "CROSs Or
DERING" CAUSED DECLINE IN
SECURITIES.

NEW York, Jan. A. Charging big
"cross order" sales of Liberty Bonds
by income tax dodgers, transactions in
one day exceeding $40,000,000, Assist
ant District Attorney Brogan today
urged the need Of an inquiry by the
stock exchange to ascertain the names
of wealthy men suspected of thus
causing the decline in the price of the
war securities sharply below par.
"It is generally conceded" Mr.. Bro
gan said, "by those who are familiar
with market conditions that the low
prices obtained for Liberty Bonds at
the end of the income tax year was
seized upon by great many to sell
their bonds with view to establish
ing losses of offset profits which have
to be shown in their income tax re-
ports.
| "This reached the highest point on
December 80, when over 40,000,O00
worth of Liberty Bonds were traded
in. In the last ten days in the year
1918 the transactions amounted to
250,0O0,OOO in Liberty Bonds alone.

that probably so per cent of these
transactions We're made on cross or
ders by heavy investors who gave
their brokers a selling order for any,
where from $5O0,00O to $1,5O0,0O0
worth of Liberty Bonds, at the same.
time putting in a buying order to buy
the same amount at themarket price,
thus establishing a fictitious loss to
report on their income tax returns.
The same method has undoubtedly
been followed by many people in the
sale of other securities and other in
vestments and probably in their own
business enterprises.
eff it is permitted to go unnoticed
the government will probably lose
millions of dollars which it expected to
|get under the income tax law"

All of the farmers, it is alleged,
bought stock in the Home Lumber Co.

they would be able to procure their
lumber and building material for
about so per cent of the price charged
by other companies.

"The Ninth federal reserve district
is always equal to the demand" said
A. r. Rogers, chairman Of the district
Liberty Loan committee. The larger
the demand made by the government,
the better the people of this district
respond. The figures of the fourth
Liberty Loan in the Ninth exceeded all
expectations.
Fifth Loan in April Expected.
The exact time and manner of NAM
| ing the vessels and tanks has not yet
been reported to the Ninth district
Liberty Loan committee. It will be
made public as soon as it is learned.
Preliminary arrangements are al
ready under way for the Fifth Liberty
Loan which, it is expected, will be set
by Carter Glass, secretary of the
treasury, for some time in April, 1919.

he might set an example for other fa-

sons to the nation.
To the last Colonel Roosevelt had
been preaching Americanism, and few
realized that his health had been shat
tered. It was believed that the rug
ged constitution which had stood him
in such good stead through SO many
years Of strenuous" life would not
fail him, and that he would regain his
usual health. His messages Of late,
however, had been delivered through
the medium of editorials OF public
statements, instead of his addresses.
Even to his neighbors in Oyster Bay
it seemed impossible that life had end
ed SO suddenly for the Rough Rider
hero Of Spanish war days; the states
man who, as governor Of New York
and president, had welded the "Big
Stick" SO fearlessly; the big game
hunter of tropical jungles; the citizen
who preached preparedness long be-
fore his country entered the world con-
flict.

nor his wife had any foreboding that
