The abolition of the board Of re-
gents, board OF education and board
OF control and the creation of a board
OF administration of three members
to absorb all the powers and duties
sides, is contemplated in Senate Bill
134, introduced Saturday by Cahlll
Of Grant.
Senate Bill 134 is an old friend in
new guise. Several legislative assem-
Dlies have had the PLEASURE Of kill
ing thi bill in other forms, under the
impression that it concentrated too
much power in the hands OF very
few men. Cahill's bill, however, is
understood to have been approved in
league caucus before Introduction. II
this is true, it may pass. Its passage
would achieve, several things desir-
aDle to the administration. The elm
ination of the state board Of control
would settle the hash Of Pat Casey
and Simon ,.Nagel, league members
who have insurged against the ap-
pointment of President Townley's
choice for the wardenship of the state
penitentiary-former Sheriff S. A..
smith of Golden Valley The aboli'
tion of the board of education as 1t
now stands would concentrate control
OF all educational matters IN the
hands Of three men to be picked by
the governor, overcoming the pres
ont necessity OF influencing the opin
ions of seven or eight individuals
wiping out the board of regents thu
governor would Immediately rid him
self of Lewis F.. Crawford of Senti
mel Butte, the sole remaining Hanna
apOpintee on this board, a scrapper
and q source Of opposition who long
has. been q thorn III the side of Mr..
Frazier.
f The New Board.
The board Of administration would
consist OF three members, to serve
for. terms Of four years, to be appoint
ed by the governor. aud to receive
$4,000 per anium. They would have
the privilege of appointing q secre-
tary at $4,000 per annnm, rla!l
Theirs also would be the power to
apopint '''temporarX' school com
mission to consist Of the superintend-
ent of public Instruction, the presii
dents of the agricultural, college and
the university and two other mem
'bers. This commission would be em-
powered to Investigate the matter of
uniform text books and the feasibility
of their being printed and distributed
by the state.
The administration board would al
so be authorized to appoint an ad-
visory educational board, to consist
of the superintendent of public in
struction, the presidents of the ag-
ricultural college and the university
two other educators, to supervise the
certification of teachers, the adoption
of standards and the regulation of the
public school system.
The temporary school commission
would. be required to report its find
ings on the uniform text book Ques.
tion and other matters to the board
of administration not later than July

London, Feb. 3.-The abolition of
submarines as warships may be de-
cided on by the league of nations be-
fore the end of the coming week.
British and American delegates are
said to have sounded all naval opinion
on this point. 1t was suggested that
the submarine might he used offens-
lively within the three mile limit OF
territorial waters.
after scrappfng the submarine, 1t
is understood that recommendations
will be made that the economic wea-
pom take the place Of all other wea-
pons in future wars. Respecting dis
armament the league will endeavor to
work out . scheme by which the arm
aments OF all nation will gradually be
curtailed."

Senate Dill $50 is the measure auth
Orizing the issuance of $10,000,0OO in
Bonds of North Dakota, Real Estate
Series,' to be loaned by the bank of
North Dakota on farm mortgages.
Senate Bill 1873 appropriates the $4,-
O0,000 in Bonds of North Dakota,
Highway Series" to be used by the
state highway commission in avail
ing itself Of federal aid to the con-
struction of state highways, and for
general highway construction within
the state. These funds will be In ad-
dition to the $750,0O0 to 100000 per
annum expected to accrue to the high
way commission from the registration
Of motor vehicles. Under the Bank
head amendment to the federal post
roads act practically all of the funds
provided through the proposed bond
issue and the registration OF motor
vehicles viii be required TO match
dollar for dollar the federal aid
which will be apportioned to North
Dakota. The senate bill provides that
the highway bonds shall be issued on
request Of the state highway commits
sion in amounts not to exceed 81
OOO, 900 for each of the two years end
ing July l, 1920 and July /, 1921.
The highway bonds are to run
twenty years and to earn not to ex-
ceed six per cent. Both of these bond
ing measures specify that the Bank
of North Dakota shall not be prohibit
ed from the purchase of these securi-
ties.
All Of the leagues bonding bills pro.
vide that any discrepancy in the earn
ings of the enterprises which they
are designed to finance shall be made
up for the purpose of paying the in
terest and retiring the principal
through the levying of general state
tax. Pending the payment Of such
tax the state treasurer, may shovel
money from any state fund available
into the bonding interest and sinking
fund, such moneys to be paid back
when convenient.
In the case of the highway bonds.
of course, there will be no direct
earnings and these must be REFUND
ed entirely through taxation. At six
per cent the annual interest charge
on these bonds will be $240,O00, and
it would be necessary to set aside
100000 per annum to refund the
principal.
Senate Bill $50 provides that the is
sue of $4,000 900 "Real Estate Ser
ies'' bonds shall be secured dollar for
dollar" by first mortgages upon real
estate in amounts not to exceed one
half of it's value. These farm mort
cages are to be taken in the name of
the manager of the Bank of North
Dakota, and whenever there shall
have been delivered to the manager
he shall assign them to the state OF
North Dakota and deliver them to
the state treasurer. who shall keen
such first mortgages as security for
the payment of the interest and prin.
cipal on the bonds issued under this
act until they have been fully paid.
The bonds shall be issued i'll denor,-
nations of IS to $4,000 and shalt
mature in not less than ten nor more
than thirty years.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
$20,000

TAX
UPON GERMANY
FOR INDEMNITY
Italian Minister Suggests Way
to Collect All War
Damages
PRO RATE INCOME
To Be Based Upon Percentage of
Losses Suffered

Paris, Feb. "a universal tax the
proceeds Of which would be put into
a common fund along with the indenl-
mites which Germany would have to
pay is proposed by Signor Crespi Of
the Italian delegation in the prOpO-
sition he has made for the establish
ment of single financial front for
the allies. The tax would furnish in
terest on that proportion of the debt
paid and would provide a sinking
fund. Signor Crespi, who said his
proposal had been well received by
allied ministers, said his great point
was that the central empires as a
whole must be forced to reimburse
the allies for the war damages they
have suffered.
"On the aother hand" he continued,
all the allies have suffered immense
losses, and they must all benefit from
indemnities which the enemy is to
pay. Each one should receive in pro.
portion to the effort they have made
Thus smaller ones which have spent
more than the larger powers in pro-
portion to their resources should re-
ceive larger indemnities. The fund
should be augmented by taxes OF a
universal character levied on all
states, enemy, allied or neutral, the
last named having benefited from the
sacrifices, made by. the allies. Such
taxes might be levied on imports and
exports and also on coal and raw ma
terials. -" ..
1t seems to me only. fair that coun-
tries which have benefited and even
grown rich through the sufferings ana
sacrifices qof the allies should be
made to recompense the allies Sucn
a tax would be no heavier on one
state thanaon another, since, it would
be universal II. i:'szs

Alligator Builds
Nest, Lays Eggs And
Maintains Guard

YAZoo CITY, Miss, July rs. Cspt)-
A matter Of some II years ago, so the
story goes. three small ~alligators were
captured in this county near Lamkin
and were taken by A. c. Bradley, Y.
& NJ. v, station agent at Belzonl. 10
that place, where they were inclosed
In a wire pen in the park across the
tracks from the station. A gFanatoid
pool has been built in the pen for the
reptiles, and they have a den
dug deep IN the ground and
covered over at the mouth with n
few planks. All the IL years Mr.. Brad
ley has fed the pets and noted their
slow growth until now they are a fairly
large size.
Last week one Of the alligators began
to build her nest on top OF the covering
To the den. She laid something like rs
or so esKs and then covered them over
with an OF the grass and weeds she
could find within the small Enclosure
and look up a stand nearby on guard.
Those who approached the pen were
greeted with threatened attack. The
ugly mood continues, and Mr.. Bradley
has had n high board fence built about
the nest and the prospective mother
gator.
The eggs are about the size and shape
Of a hen egg, and. n they hatch, are
expected to hatch little reptiles four or
five inches In length. Mr.. Bradley does
not know whether or not the eggs will
hatch. but he means to watch them
closely and take good care of both the
mother and the young alligators.
