Many Measures
Interest Legion

Pierre, Jan. 26.--Attention OF
members of the American Legion Is
being called to the measures affect
ing the organization that were intro
duced in the legislature in the period
before recess by a bulletin sent out
by Claude J. Harris, state adjutant.
The bulletin names the ex-servtce
men that are members Of the legis-
lature, and points out the bills that
will be of interest to men who have
seen military service. 1t also con-
tains extracts from the message de-
livered by Governor McMaster at the
opening of the session, which would
be special interest to Legion mem
bers.
Bills to which attention is called
are the ones creating citizenship
day, to make armistice day a legal
holiday, making it misdemeanor to
wear Legion insignia IL not a men,
ber. foreign language regulations In
schools, dormitory for disabled vet
Grams at Brookings, memorial or
community building. support OF the
Rogers bill, soldiers compensation,
nome building, the boxing bill, the

istered discharges.

Believe Line
Will Be Built

Pierre, Jan. 26-Residents of that
portion of the state between Faith
and the Black Hills appear to be CIV
ing credence to the announcement
that the Milwaukee road contem-
plates extension of it's Faith brance
into the Wyoming oil fields the COM
ing year, and expressing belief that
this is the logical line to build when
such a move is made.
The Northwestern many years ago
made a survey from Wendte 20 miles
west of here, to Newell, crossing the
Cheyenne river, near the mouth of
Cherry Creek, but this project has
been at standstill ever since the
survey was completed.
If the Milwaukee should start the
move expected by the people OF
Faith it would be invading territory
now controlled by the Northwestern
line, and might be the cause of two
new lines in the western part of the
state, if any move starts at all, as
the Northwestern would not care to
give up the territory now controlled
by it to it's pricipal rival without an
effort to retain a portion of the
same.

NORTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBIN NSON
WARNS THAT TAXES MUST
BE REDUCED.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 26-With
the fourth week of the session of the
North Dakota legislature beginning
tomorrow afternoon, independents
plan to take action looking to re-
duction of taxes and will propose re-
forms in the tax laws and methods
now in effect in North Dakota
Chief Justice James E. Robinson
in an open letter to members of the
legislature, has asked that Nonparti-
sans and independents get together
to work out some tax reforms and
declares that if the legislature does
not ac to remedy the ills now exist
ing, it will be necessary to initiate
the measures. He was elected with
onpartisans Endorsement Com
menting on the message of Governor
j.. J. Frazer, Chief Justice Robinson
says that the message of the COVER
nor is in effect ito pass the appro-
priations and adjourn"
He does not consider that the
tax system Of 1919 has become un-
bearable," he said. 'In some way
there must be remedial legislation.
If you lawmakers and the governor
cannot agree to pass the proper
measures, the only remedy is by ini-
tiative petitions. But under the
system now prevailing until proper
remedial legislation has been secur-
ed you should go very slow about
passing any appropriation bills.
I'm the years 1919 and 1920 the
assessments were grossly excessive,
about five times any former year,
and Of course the tax ievies based on
sive.
'In addition there has been 5evied
several kinds of new tangled and
excessive taxes, just as if the way
to make men happy is to tax them
out of their land and their livings.
UNLESS something is done to pre-
vent it, lands will be advertised for
sale for the taxes of 1920, with pen
alties and costs, and people will be-
driven out of the state"
Remedial bills proposed by JUS
tice Robinson follow:
Bills to reduce taxes for 1919 and
1920, which remain unpaid, 25 per
cent, and to allow same to be paid
without penalty and interest until
Nov /, 1921, and that any persons
who have paid such taxes be allow
ed a rebate Of 25 per cent.
Bill to cancel and render void anv
land sales that have been made as a
result of unpaid taxes for 1919.
Bill to reduce assessment of the
property.

Offer Indian
Land For Sale

FIT. Thompson, Jan. 26.-Superin-
tendent Marble, of the Grow Creek
agency, is arranging to offer some
SO or more tracts of non-competent
and inherited Indian lands on the
Grow Creek reservation for sale ear
ly in April.
These tracts can be purchased
through sealed bids either for all
cash or on deferred payment, run
ming three years, rs per cent down
and 25 per cent at the end of each
succeeding year. No bid is accepted
at less than the appraised value.
Recent financial disturbances have
caused a cessation Of land sales on
the reservation, bui the need OF cer-
tain destitute Indians for funds has
caused another attempt to be made,
to dispose of surplus holdings.

WOMEN SEEK
SEGREGATION
SOUTH DAKOTA WOMEN RE-
PORTED GATHERING FORCES
TO PUSH GIRLS TRAINING
SCHOOL.

Pierre, Jan. 26.-Women of
South Dakota are reported to be
gathering their forces to make a
fight in the legislature for the segre-
cation school for girls. This comes
after the refusal of the budget
board to recommend that separate
school be erected this year.
At present the training school at
Plankinton is used for both boys and
girls. and for the past few years
there has been great deal of agi-
tation to have the two segregated.
This is admitted to be necessary,
and but for the principle of econ
omy underlying the entire program
recommended by the budget board,
the new school would have been
granted.
One of the things that made the
women enter into the fight was the
fact that money was granted for the
building of a dormitory for the in
jured ex-service men at Brookings
while the segregation school was re
fused.
1t is generally believed that even
if the women should take up the
fight in the legislature that they will
be unable to do anything. as the leg
islators will tend to cut down the
recommendations made rather than
to enlarge upon them. The budget
board recommended that small
sum be appropriated for plans, the
buildings to be erected when prices
are cheaper, and the legislature will
probably follow this plan of caring
for the delinquent girls.
Practically all of the members OF
the house and senate feel that the
first duty is owed to the wounded
soldiers rather than to the boys and
girls that have been committed to
the training school.

FOR REGULATION
MEAT PACKERS
BILL FOR FEDERAL CONTROL OF
MEAT PACKERS AND LIVE
STOCK INDUSTRY PASSED
BY 46 TO 33 VOTE.

Washington, Jan. 26.-By thirteen
votes the senate late yesterday pass
ed the long fought bill for federal
regulation of the meat packers and
other agencies of the livestock in
dustry.
The vote was 46 to 33 and the
legislation, center of bitter contro-
versy for decade goes to the house
with its supporters hopeful of final
action during present session. A
special rule to expedite house action
is to be sought.
Partisan division in the senate
was lacking, but most democrats
supported the bill while a mapority
of the republicans opposed it. Eight
cen republicans and 2S democrats
were for passage with 23 republi-
cans and 10 democrats against.
All fundamental features of the
legislation as presented by the agri-
cultural committee as substitute or
the original Kendrick bill were re-
tanned. The bill would create fed
eral livestock commission of three
appointed by the president to have
jurisdiction over the livestock indus
try.
This commission would have pow-
er to issue orders, collect and dis
seIhinate information, have access to
packers books and have general su-
peryision over packers, stock yards
commission men and similar agenc-
les, Review of the live stock COM
missions orders would be provided
by the bill which also prescribes
rules for conduct of the packing
business and stipulations against
monopoly, unfair trade practices, en-
gaging in unrelated industries and
other similar acts.
Voluntary licensing of packers
also is provided, an attempt by Sen
ator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio, to
eliminate this feature having been
defeated As to "a
BY a vote of 43 to "a, the senate
defeated the plan of Senator Sterl-
ing, republican, South Dakota, to
turn over administration of the pro-
posed law to the federal trade COM
mission instead of the new livestock
commission authorized in the bill.
Only two important amendments
were adopted. One would include
horses, mules and goats within the
operations of the bill although
horse and mules markets would be
excluded from the proposed federal
supervision.
Another amendment would eX-
empt all persons whose chief busi-
ness is livestock growing or produc-
tion of agricultural products.
Other amendments adopted in
cluded one providing that all pro-
ceedings of the livestock commission
should be open to the public, and an
amendment declaring that upon en-
actment of the bill all supervision of
the federal trade commission over
the livestock industry should be ter
minated and transferred to the live
stock commission.
Friends of the bill withstood vir-
tually all other revisions proposed
and defeated a motion to recommit
the bill to the agricultural commit
tee. An amendment by Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, pro-
posing that packers give a weeks
notice of bids and prices for live
stock, was lost, 70 to 8. The author
said it was designed to stabilize the
market.
