The LEGISLATURE
North Dakota Law Makers Are
Launched Into Highly I'm.
portant Session.
FRAzIERAs S ECONOMY

Little actual constructive work has
thus. far been accomplished BY the
North Dakota legislature, which con-
'vened In seventeenth biennial session
sat Bismarck last week. Both houses
are almost evenly split as to political
strength.
The house started with an Independ-
ent majority Of five in the election Of
%. =. Twtchell speaker over Walter
Maddox, Nonpartisan, by a vote Of
o. TO %, the two candidates not voting.
This Independent majority. however,
has been cut to one on two or three
issues Of minor Importance.
The senate goes Nonpartisan by. one
vote on most roll calls. One Of the.
frst deciding questions was on the
reference Of the Billings county, cleo
ton contest between Wog, successful
Nonpartisan candidate, and List, de-
feated Independent candidate, to 4
committee instead Of hearing the evil
dence before the senate body as a
committee Of the whole. The matter
was referred to a committee by ma
jority Of one vote and. Wog holds his.
seat during the consideration Of the
contest, ....8 Il.
The inauguration Of Governor Lynn
]. Frazier for his third two-year term
was q simple ceremony and was not
marked By an inaugural ball. His
message to the legislature, delivered
in the house chamber. before both
bodies. was brief and was marked by
nothing. Of preponderant Importance.
except that he urged. haste, co-opera-.
ton, and economy.

sumed office, five were new at; this
time. although some Of them have
held public office in the past. John
Steen, Independent, became state
treasurer; William Lemke, Nonparti-
san. attorney general; D. G. Poindex-
ter, Nonpartisan, state auditor; w. H.,

 STRIKE POSSIBILITY NOT TO HALT REUNION

Chattanooga, October iS.--(Specia) The only thing that Is worrying the officials of the Confederate reunion committee now is the possibility of a railroad strike on the evening of October 30, and even that should not prevent the attendance of all people In the Confederate zone of the coun- try upon the reunion. All of the com miuee's preparations to entertain a large crowd of people are about com pleted and the hope is entertained that fear of a railroad strike will not deter any who have made their ar arrangements to be in Chattanooga upon the reunion occasion, The com mittee, in the first instance, does not believe there will be a strike, but even If there Is every visitor can leave Chattanooga as late as Octo- Der 2S, the day after the reunion closes. and reach their homes before the strike begins. They can travel from Chattanooga to the Atlantic sea board in 2f hours; from Chattanooga to central Texas in S6 hours; from Chattanooga to the Mexican border In 4s hours; from Chattanooga to St. Louis in 50 hours; from Chattanooga to illSHhioHu' Sd'' III 70 hours, anu from Chattanooga to the center of Confederate territory in less than one day.
 Sixty hours will elapse between the morning of October 2S and the time set for the railroad strike, and in that time person can ride almost to Dem yer, Col. or to Kansas City in little more than half the time. It is easily possible for 95 per cent of the people who attend Confederate reunions to leave Chattanooga on the morning of October 29, two days after the close of the reunion, and reach their homes before the date of the railroad strike arrives. Hence 1t appears pos itively sure that no visitor to the re- union Is in the least danger of be- coming stranded even if the strike materializes on schedule time.

the plant of The Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company in Mary

Since January Telephone Com
pany officials said today, the gross

900: leaving net revenues of S5lS,000.
which is a return of $50 on the fair
value of the property in Maryland,
amounting to SIS, 10000.
There are l37.772 telephones in the

in Maryland will amount to 10000
To keep pace with growth and de-
velopment throughout the state, the
Telephone Company's 1921 program
entails building and extension work

about one and one quarter millions

neering plans for the remainder are
now being completed. so that the work
