There may be spirited fight over sections of the bill to readjust the departments of state, but it would not be surprising to see the changes made without fuss or feathers and those who are looking for the little sensational may have to look elsewhere for excitement. While little has been said upon the subject, it is certain that another bill for the re- mOval of the state university to Little Rock or to a more central point will be offered. Plans have been fOrmulat- ing for some months for the campaign that those who favor it expect to bring the university to Little Rock. The citi- zens of Fayetteville have successfully resisted former attempts to pass slm- liar bill, but there was no such pre- liminary campaign as has been con- ducted just prior to ths session. The advance guard of defense committee is on the ground early, mingling with the members of both branches and gives evidence of being here to make a more determined resistance against the university removal than ever be- fore.

 FavOrs Amendments.
 The House has gone on record as be- ing in favor of the submission of an amendment to the constitution pro- viding for the assessment and taxation of personal property as we'll as real estate for purposes of local improve ment. Two other amendments have been initiated and only one can be sub- mitted by the legislature. There are eight proposed amendments pending. A resolution by MT. Williams of Lonoke county was adopted, declaring that the submission of an amendment for tax ing personal property is of vital i'm portance to the state, and requesting the committee on constitutional amend ments to work out and expedite the adoption of such an amendment in preference to any other. Such an amendment was offered by Mir. John son of Polk county. The proposal makes an exemption of $500 and pro- vides that it shall not authorize any district now existing to spend money or incur indebtedness in excess of the amount now prescribed by law.
 Deficiency Bills Up.
 A number of deficiency bills have been making their appearance in the House to meet the needs of the various and officers of the state government due to the conditions created by the decision of the Supreme Court last Monday, The bills so far introduced are for the relief of the Department, the National Guard the State Plant Board, the State Board of Health, the State h. surance Commissioner, the Department of Public Instruction and the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Other bills are be- ing prepared and will probably be in- troduced during the next few days.

MILLER APPOINTED
JUDGE

The president of the United States
has finally appointed Andrew Miller
to the new federal judgeship in North
Dakota at the insistence of P. J. Nc
Cumber. The whole state Of North
Dakota has been up in arms against
this appointment for nearly a year,
but McCumber has succeeded in fore
ing the appointment in keping will,
a deal he made with Miller long,
long ago, before the people gener-
ally knew such new judgeship was
to be created. Mm
Miller is a henchman and attorney
for Alex. Mckenzie, and the people
of North Dakota will have to put up
with him as Judge for the rest of his
life-the judgeship being an appoint
ment for life.
The people are unable to head off
Miller as judge, but they can remem-
Der McCumber's action in the next
campaign.

cording to figures compiled by the

LEcTURED ON RUSSIA
Prof. Gloeckler Former School Teach
er in South Russia, Describes the
Bolsheviks, and Shows Pic
lures Of Conditions.

"A large number Of Linton people
attended = lecture Saturday evening
at the Lutheran Church given by
Prof. Gloeckler, former school teach
er in South Russia, who vividly de-
scribed the horrors of Bolshevism as
it is in operation over there. Prof.
Gloeckler traced the movement from
its beginning, and stated that the
government is completely controlled
sby Russian Jews. He stated they
completely cowed the populace and
forced them to do the bidding Of the
Bolshevik government through fear
Of death and starvation. He showed
$50 pictures Of conditions there show
ing heaps Of bodies Of Bolshevik VIC
tins. Much Of the trouble is. laid to
the vast ignorance Of the Russian
people, more than eighty per cent be-
ing wholly illiterate. He warned his
hearers that hundreds of Bolshevik
agents were known to be at work in
America, especially among the labor
unions and such, and asked that this
government stop immigration from
Russia under present conditions. 5
Prot. Gloeckler appealed for whole
hearted support Of our government
against radicalism, and for united
support Of our school system, to the
end that we may not be eventually
smitten as Is Russia. Some $1s were
raised to be expended BY the church
acialstin, behalf Of starving Russian
children. n

SEEK TO SELL HAIL WARRANTS
Governor Nestos Outlines Negotia-
tions Carried Forward to
This End

The state administration is endeav-
oring to evolve plan for the disposi-
tion Of hail warrants for the year
1921 to save farmers from "disas-
trous discounts" Governor r. A. Mes
tos made known today. Negotiations
have been carried on with the War
Finance Corporation and with large
trust companies. Governor Nestos,
in q statement, said:
During the last two weeks have
made considerable investigation for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
it is possible to dispose of the 1921
issue of hail warrants without dis
count, or at least at a very small dis
count. I have taken this matter up
with the representatives of couple
of trust companies, and an agency
dealing in securities, and have also
written to the War Finance Corpora
tion for the purpose of ascertaining
whether it is possible for that body
to handle the hail warrants. I dis
covered that as far as the War FL
nance Corporation is concerned, the
act does not make provision for the
purpose Of any securities outright
but that with the hail warrants as
collateral, loans may be made to the
extent of 80 per cent of the amount
of the warrants so that with Sc, ,O0O, 900
is approximately the amount
of warrants to be issued for 1921
$2,700,000 might be borrowed from
the War Finance Corporation with
these warrants as the collateral Sc
curing the loan.
"Some of the trust companies with
whom I have been negotiating sug-
gest possibility of handling these
warrants at discount of about 4 or
5 per cent. Even this would be a
great saving compared with the dis
counts at which many of thse war
rants have been sold but if arrange
ments can be made to handle these
warrants practically at par l feel
# should be done for the farmers of
u our state who are now badly in need
6f funds:sf Il .'.''!. .st!, y. =
Il am hoping that some method
can be evolved for the handling Of
these warrants in such a way as to
bring the money to our people and
save them from the disastrous dis
counts asked in SO many cases at the
present time."

STATE ExPENDs s47,71s.4s FOR
ATTORNEYS FEES
Large Sums Paid to Assistants" In
Ordinary Actions, Johnson
Says

Cost to the state of employing spe-
cial assistant attorney generals to
aid in prosecuting cases in various
counties, has arisen to such point
that Sveinbjorn johnson, attorney
general, has decided that "the need of
such assistance must be clearly shown
and it must further be made to ap-
pear that such need cannot be ade-
quately met in any other legal man.
ner," before he will assign an assist
ant in such counties.
Since Jan. l., 1919, there has been
expended for special assistants IN the
attorney generals Office, $47,713.48,
Mr. johnson says. In letters to states
attorneys, he asks for their o-opera-
tion in enforcing law in eliminating
expenses and in preventing an over
tapping, of states attorneys and the
attorney generals offices.
Necessary to Retrench
"The rate at which the cost of op-
Grating the Office of attorney general
during the last few years, has been
soaring and the necessity for re-
trenchment at every possible point,
prompts me to address this letter to
you," said Mr.. johnson.
He found that a large portion of
the sum paid out for special assist
ants engaged in prosecuting "ordin-
ary actions en- trial in various coun-
ties in the state" s
1T seems Clear" he said, "that if
neither. county commissioners nor the
district judge who are in complete
touch with local conditions and ap-
preciate them fully, deem it neces-
sary to name an assistant to the
states attorney in any given proceed
ing, the state should not be expected
at great expense, to furnish such le-
gal assistance.

THAT MCMAHON LOAN AGAIN
Baer's Uncle-in-Law" Didn't Have
Clear Title When State Loaned
Him $25, 100000

History of the loan made by the
farm loan department of the Bank Of
North Dakota to d. ]. Mcmahon, land
dealer of st. Paul, said to be an uncle
'of former Congressman John Baer's
wife, is detailed by employees in the
farm loan department of the Bank of
North Dakota. The loan, made on
Golden Valley land, was much dis
cussed in the LANCER campaign.
The loan of $25, 900 was made when
the title Of the land was not held by
Mr.. Mcmahon, according to employees
in the farm loan department under
Manager w. B. Default.
A quit-claim deed has since been
obtained by Mr.. Mcmahon but it can
not be recorded because Of consider
able amount Of unpaid taxes on the
land. No payments have been made
by Mcmahon on the loan nor taxes
on land, although records show that
efforts were made to get him to make
payments.
The history of the loan as given by
the records in the farm loan depart
ment follows:
On January 2, 1920, Mcmahon gave
the Bank of North Dakota four mort
cages aggregating $4,000 and on
Feb. %, 1920, blanket mortgage for
$25 900 en- ASST acres of Bad Lands
in Golden Valley county.
At the time the loan was made
title to the land was held in trust by
Samuel R. Van SAINT as trustee for
the Van SAINT company covering this
and other land for loan of $4,000
on 5,076 acres. Bonds had been is
sued against this, maturing June 5,
1920.
There had been two foreclosures on
the land previous to the loan.
1t was June S, 1920, before quit
claim deed was received from Van
SAINT.
On October II, 1921, the quit claim
ded was sent to the register of deeds
of Golden Valley county, but it could
not be recorded because taxes for
1920 amounting to $s72.49 had not
been paid. Since that time land has
been sold for 1920 taxes and taxes for
1921 have accrued. The farm loan de-
partment has written for statement
of the taxes at present.
The loan record shows that on the
original appraisal 1900 acres were
under cultivation and later papers
showed 800 acres broken.
Appraisers View
In speaking of the portion of the
land on which the first loan was made
the appraiser said that located as it
is would not consider it at over $500
per acre as security for this loan.
Figured at $500 per acre do not
consider this an attractive loan."
This was on 2,s4O acres of grazing
land. In considering the loans indi-
vidually he said that ut appears that
three of them have merit while the
fourth is questionable under the cir
cumstances."
Manager Default has not decided
what action will be taken, but indi-.
Gated he would start foreclosure pro-
ceedings on this tract unless pay
ments are made.

THE WATSON CHARGES

On October 31st, Senator Thomas
Watson of Georgia made an accusa-
tion 1ae alnst the American Expedi-
tionary Force in these words deliver
ed in the United States Senate:
How many senator's know that a
private soldier was frequently shot
by his officers because of some COM
plant against officers insclence; and
that they had gallows upon which
men were hanged, day after day with
out court martial or any other form
Of trial? How many Senators know
that? had, and have the photo
graph of one of those gallows upon
which twenty-one white boys had al
ready been executed at sunrise when
the photograph was taken; and there
were, others waiting in the camp jails
to be hanged morning after morn
ing"
The American Legion Weekly has
refrained from commenting on Sen
ator Watson's charge because it be-
lieved that the Senate would take
early action. However, the Senate
ended it's last session without YER
dict. Now the Senate is in session
again. Let's have no more delay. AS
this is read an investigation may be
under way. Let's hope so.
=
The official A.. E. F. records show
that only ten Americans were hung
in France, all Of them after just trial
by court martial. Senator Watson
has to overthrow that record or he
stands convicted as liar, whatever
his motives may have been.
Since he made his charge Of whole
sale hangings, Senator Watson has
made q lot of other miscellaneous
charges. not SO serious, but evidently
calculated to divert attention from
his main charge. One Of his charges
is defamatory Of the good name of
the American women who served with
the Army in France, an attack partic-
ularly vicious because, as with all
common scandal, its victims &C mot
defend themselves. A whole corps of
women is pilloried by Senator Wat
sons innuendoes. ("
The Senate must not let itself be
diverted from Senator Watson'a
charge Of A. E. F. gallows murders
by the smoke scren of scandal he has
created. He has charged wholesale
murders. If he can't prove that
charge, he must not be permitted to
escape the consequences by using de-
fenceless women as q shield Amer
