JAPAN ADOPTS
PACIFIC GRAB
POLICY CLAIM
Intercepted BOlshevik Wireless
Declares Nation Ambitious

London, Dec 27.--An official boil
sheVlk wireless message received
from Moscow quotes the Izvestia as
asserting that st is evident that ia
pan has adopted policy Of seizing
the shores of the Pacific" It adds
"The Japanese general staff has
marked out a fortified line in the
shore zone from Shanghai through
kwangtung peninsula and the Russia
coastal region and the Kamchatka
peninsula. A line through Kangtung
from Shanghai would cover the south
ern half Of the Chinese coast or about
700 miles, including Hongkong)
,"The Japanese are conducting a
definitely imperialistic policy with re-
gard to Far Eastern Russia. BY con-
cealing their plans, they hoped the
allies would bless their Siberian pol.
icy. When American. however, cried
out against them, Japan heSitated and
then declared she feared an attack
from Bolsheviki and that an aggres.
sive policy in Siberia was necessary
"She, therefore, disarmed the Rus
sian troops in the Maritime province
and is attempting to liquidate the for
titications Of Vladiyostok and Niko-
laevisk.
Such are the intentions of the Jap
anese imperalists. Japan may be
expected to tenaciously perserve in
effecting her plans, and therefore, the
Far Eastern Republic with its head
quarters at Verkhne- Udinsk is faced
with the problem Of definitely resist
ing the aggression of the Japanese in
Siberia. AS this in like measure ef
fects China's interests, they must unite
for joint resistance to Japanese as
pirations on the Asiatic mainland"

MILLAGE TAX

Institutions Needs Grow as En-

.....s Said

A miilage tax for TIE support of the
state university is urged by President
Thomas Kane, CT the University of
North Dakota. Grand Forks, in state
ment On the appropriations asked by
the university.
The millage tax proposal may be-
come problem of serious considera-
tion for the legislature Many states
have adopted the idea Of dealing with
their higher institutions of learning.
! TT would take the university claim
out Of competition with the other
claims on the general state revenues,
help keep the university out OF poll
tics and save three months time to
the-university officials every other
year, now spent in working with the
budget" says President Kane. in sup
port Of the idea. mr.
The budget CT the university, includ-
ing the deficit of the present biennial
period and amounts for new buildings,
IS in round numbers 81 100000.
Presidents Letter
President Kane, in a letter on the
subject. says:
"The University is becoming more
and more a state institution every
year. All Of the counties il the state
are represented in the enrolment this
year but seven, and these counties are
yet almost without four-year accrodjt-
ed high schools, to prepare students
for the university.
again, 6S vOcatiOns are represented
by the parents of the students now at
the university. Farmers lead the list
with 343 students 4
Expenses Of students must be kept
to the minimum so that all may come.
Through shortage OF tie present ap
Dropriation, student fees have had to
be added for this year. Again, eX
peuses are greatly increased to stu
dents through lack of university dor
n1itories. In the dormitories that we
have we charge $3.50 week. Out
side Of our dormtories many students
have to pay $40 month and some Of
them as high as SIS and $40 for rooms
TO students working their way the
difference in these items in many
eases is a bar.
MilIageTax al 5
eve feel that the most important
legislation at this time - legislation
recommended by the board Of admin
istration--is provision for millage tax.
This would be to provide a fixed levy
as is done for our high schools and
district schools. 1t would take the
university claim out of competition
with the other claims on the general
state revenues, help keep the univer-
sity out of politics, and save three
months time to the university Of
flcials every other year, now spent in
wbrking with the budget.
lathe university could be taken care
of, both maintenance and building, by
a one-half mill tax levy This would
mean that a taxpayer, having land,
for example, with an assessed valua-
ton of $40 an acre, would pay just one
cent an acre year. The university
belongs to the state. 1t is established
to~help train the young men and wo-
men Of North Dakota. We are giving
our best counsel about it's manage
ment. While these questions are up,
we trust that you may all add your
best counsels.'

BONUS BILL AND

Houston Tells of the Money He
Thinks Soldiers Bonus Would
Cost
YER T WO MILLION
Senate Hears Good Tax Men
Enter Into Private
Employ
OVER T WO MILLION

DeC. Ll'-IdSSdSo Ol
the soldiers bonus bill would cost the
government approximately $780,
100000, Secretary Houston estimated
today before the senate finance com"
mittee considering the bill.
The treasury secretary reiterated 4
statement made last week that the
treasury ought not to be called upon
to assume any additional burdens.
While Mr. Houston said while it
was impossible to complete the exact
cost Of the four optional aid plans he
believed that estimate submitted was
substantially correct.
Land settlements provisions of the
bill contained So many uncertainties
that the cost for them could only be
guessed at, he said
Assuming that all the men would
select one of the four plans the treas
ury secretary estimated the cost as
follows:
Adjusted service pay, $1,342 100000
Insurance provision, $4,000; Vo-
cational training aid $1,SSO,OO0; home
Development
Plans Optional
AS the plans were optional the
secretary said the choice Of the men
would not be confined to any one of
them and allowing for the various
selections he arrived at his total esti
mated cost of $2,300,O00
The treasury secretary would be
against wall" as to the methods
Of obtaining revenues to meet the out
lay that would be required if the bills
were enacted, he said. He called the
committees attention to suggestions
for new taxes contained in his annual
report but explained that these were
mentioned only for the information Of
congress and without any sort of rec
ommendation.
Tax Men Leave
He did not attempt to discuss tax
suggestions asking the committees to
hear Dr. r. S. Adams, reasury eco
nomist and tax expert; who gave a
comprehensive resume o. the tax sit
uation. He declares the treasury was
daily seeing new evidence of a fur
ther drying up Of revenue sources,
adding that the tax of computing tax
receipts was becoming more diff
cult.
In addition to the difficulty thus
confronting the treasury DR.. Adams
declared the internal revenue bureau
faced another problem in keeping ex-
perts on the job. He said the men
who were capable did not stay long.
Help Corporations
Senator smoot, Republican, Utah,
said
"The real danger is that these men
get training in the revenue bureau,
then go out and help big firms evade
tax payments" "
Dr.. Adams said that might be trus
to some extent but that he knew of
zone man who left the bureau a year
ago whose resignation cost the gov
elnment millions Of dollars in un.
collected taxes because he was an
executive with expert knowledge of
the work"
Typical Case
The witness said that was typical
Of the labor turnover and that it di-
rectly affected the tax collections and
would continue to have more direct
effect on such collections unless tax
laws were simplified.
