members of the House to override
such a veto.
The present condition in world az
fairs and the reduced foreign proCuc-
ton make unnecessary temporarily
any resdjustment OF the existing
tariffs to give ample protection from
the Republican viewpoint to Ameri-
can industries.
II is not likely therefore that the
present session will see the prolong-
ed tariff hearings with the accompa-
nying scrambling of representatives
of the industries to secure preferen-
tial tariffs, and the Ways and Means
Committee will confine Its activities
TO minor tariff changes and the press
ing immediate consideration of taxa
ton mSasures to secure additional
revenue to run the Government. 1t
is expected this will be done through
a readjustment of the income-tax law.

Unlikely That Change Will Be

House Republican, leaders will hs.e

Chairman Fordney of the Ways and

not attempt any revisiea OF the Dem

sons advanced for this belief:
President Wilson will veto probably

FARMER GIVES OPINION ON
N. P. LEAGUE LEADERS

Parma, Idaho, April 23.-John w.
Martin. we'll known farmer living
near Parma, is out with statement
in which he advocates organization OF
farmers along lines similar to that
of bankers, lawyers and business as
sociations, not necessarily for polit-
ical purposes, but with economic ends
in view which might. of course, oc-
casionally take a political turn. In
discussing the subject, Mr.. Martin
throws some interesting side lights
On the Non-Partisan league, concern
ing which he appears to have much
in side information. He says:
"The Nom Partisan league went too
far in that it became goat for the
Socialist and other wild dreamers to
ride on, and charged large member
ship fees that went to the Socialist
advocates. who travelled over the
country spreading Trotzky's doc
trines.
"'They drove away 10 farmers to
every one who stayed with the move
ment until after election.
Attempts at Soviet or communist
systems to abolish private property
have'been a failure from the earliest
times. The carly Christians tried it
and fell to pieces"

$15,O26 until the facts were forcer out
by LANCER and Hall before the bank
ing board The price at which the ma
tional bank was sold to the farmers
was increased by that sum over the
price that it was sold by the stock
holders of the national bank to the
state bank. :,
Mr.. Aamo testified that repeated
attempts were made by J. J. Hastings
to have him, Aamoth, aid them in COW
ering up the $l5,026 additional profit
but that he declined to do So.
Reveals Financial Deals
The Aamoth testimony is the most
sensational development of case that
already has attracted statewide atten-
ton because of the manner in which
it has brought to light the marvellous
workings of the financial ring at the
head Of the Non-Partisan league.
More developments, however, are in
store, for Attorney General LANCER
has announced that he would make
public the entire record in the Valley
CITY bank case, because of the lying
newspaper reports that have been pub
lishd by interests identified with the
deal and who seem so anxious to dis
credit public officials who have done
their duty in the enforcement of the
banking laws.
I'VE have saved the farmers
$l5,026 in this deal and when any
Newspaper sets out to villify Of
ficials who have brought this
about and have protected the peo-
yle from exploiters, it is time to
do business and show the people
of the state just what happened at
Valley City. The record will dis
close the status of the case and
we will most certainly give it to
the people of North Dakota" said
Mr.. LANCER.

LIGHT ON TOWNLEY
AS A H!NANC|ER
Huge Profit on Bank Deal Reported
in North Dakota - Promoters
Forced to Disgorge

Owing to the. fact that he has hun
dreds Of devoted followers in Can
yon county the methods associates
and profits of A. c. Townley are mat
tiers of great local interest. Mr..
Townley's chosen associates and fell
low workers were brought to general
attention during the last campaign.
His methods also came in for more or
less publicity. The break in the Nom
Partisan phalanx in North Dakota is
now causing the people to learn of the
profits which accrued and which were
to accrue to Mr.. Townley personally.
Recently the organization of the
American Exchange bank of Valley
City, N. D., has been investigated and
with surprising results for the fol-
lowers of the prophet. The state
banking board of North Dakota be-
came interested in the Valley City
bank for reasons that are shown later.
The commission ascertained that A. c.
Townlev and William Lemke, both of
the League shared in the profits de-
rived from the organization, of the
Thomas Allen Box, testified to by Mr.
Aamoth.
Good Profit on Small Deal

banking board the text of a converse

the organization of the state bank and
sale of the national bank was perfect

ed that a $4,000 profit was garnered
by the transaction. In explanation of
the huge profit. said Mr. Aamoth to
the banking board, Mr.. Box explained
that it wasn't much profit for any in
dividual as it had to be divided four
ways, as Townley and Lemke have to
get their share.
Forced to Refund $15,026
The profit. originally $35,026, was
reduced to $4,000 when Attorney
General LANCER and Secretary of State
Thomas Hall forced the, operators to
replace $15,026 that had been taken
from the assets of the national bank
while it was in the control of the Box
Hastings combination, which, accord
ing to the Box statement to Aamoth,
was divided four ways to obtain the

in connection with the deal. |

County Claims

One of the numerous reform meas
ures enacted by the recent legisla-
ture applies to the payment Of bounty
claims which the law allows for the
destruction of predatory animals.
Heretofore these claims have been
made before any officer authorized to
acknowledge legal papers and who, in
the capacity of "de-footer," would
remove the feet of the pelt which. to-
gether with the claim, would be trans
mitted to the office of the state vet
erinarian. It has been the general
belief, in many cases at least, that
these feet have found their way to the
capital after the claimant had already
collected scalp bounty in adjoining
states
The new law, which goes into eff
feet May the 9TH, 1919, requires proof
of all claims under this law to be made
before the sheriff or his deputy in the
county in which the animals have
been killed The practice of bringing
in pelts from other states. if such has
been the case, is made a felony under
the new law
Inasmuch as the practice of de-
footing a pelt depreciates, the value
of the same in the fur markets of the
country, the sheriffs of the state will
be instructed to discontinue this prac-
tice and instead mark the pelt by cut
ting a slit on the top of the scalp the
entire distance between the ears. This
manner of marking the pelts will be in
harmony with other states and will
have no effect on the value of the
furS when thev are transmitted to
market The department of agricul-
ture is now preparing to send out
blank forms to the several counties
throughout the state covering these
claims and all claimants should trans
NIT same. when certified bv the sheriff
or his deputy direct to this depart
ment in the CITY Of Boise
Tt will be observed that the new
law omits the bounty on bear This
was occasioned by the fact that Idaho
was the only state in the northwest
paying bounty on this animal and
these claims alone were running in
excess of a thousand dollars per
month Many of the legislators were
Of the opinion that We were paying
bounty on all the bears killed between
Canada and Mexico.
