NEW ADMINISTRATION
BEGINNING TO SHOW

Bismarck, N. d.. Dec. t6.-If the
new administration can hold the
pace set during the past ten days it
is going to take comparatively
short time to get order out of the
chaos left by officials recalled in the

Commissioner Kitchen start the
days work at eight o'clock in the
morning ,an hour earlier than usual
custom, and the industrial commits
sion is usually found in session up
till midnight.
The result of this hard work is
already beginning to show. The
muddled-up sale situation has been
cleared and the bonds disposed Of
on much better terms than were,
hoped for after the last-minute con-
tract entered into by the retired ad-
ministration, and at q considerable
saving to the taxpayers; reductions
have been made in unnecessary or
illegally high salaries in cases where
tho administration was in position
TO act forthwith, J, and steps have boon
taken to carry this policy OF econ
omy also into the; insurance depart
;ment, tho board Of administration
and the Workmen,s Compensation
bureau; several necessary Job
holders have been fired.

those fixed by the legislature.
The state auditing board-com

state administration hope to make a
considerable saving on the state pay
roll in many instances. All bills

board before warrants are drawn,
giving this board check on expen-

The first action of the board,

payments of salaries, etc. to the
board. Conference on the e1ualiZa

OF
HIGH TARIFF LOSE
CANADA ELECTION
First Time in Ten Years New
Parliament viii Favor Rec
iprocity With U. S. w. L.
Mckenzie King Will Be
New Prime Minister.

Ottawa, Dec. T. Altho returns
from yesterdays general election
were still incomplete: this. morning
it was apparent that for the first
time in 10 years Canada had elected
a parliament with majority favor
ing reciprocity with the United Stat
eS.
In the new house of commons W.
L. Mackenzie King, liberal leader,
will have {: clear majority over all
parties. He will thus become prime
minister of the dominion The pro-
gressives also favoring reciprocity
and a low tariff will rank second,
and the high tariff party headed by
Premier Meighen, third Mr.. Mel
Chen himself was defeated in Port
age Prairie, Manitoba, his home dis
trict.
The fall of the Meighen govern
ment with it's high tariff platform
was as spectacular as the defeat of
Sir Wilfred Laurier's liberal ad-
ministration in 1911 on it's policy
o RECIPROCITY with the United States
The new progressive party led by
T. A. Crerar, of Manitoba swept the
western provinces, but captured
comparatively few divisions in the
east. This group originally made up
of farmers, stands for tariff revision
downward even more drastic than
the liberals proposed It's members
are in sympathy with, the recipro-
city movement
At yesterdays election for the
first time in the political history Of
Canada women voted on terms of
equality with men. Miss MacPhail,
progressive, was elected to parlia-
ment in the southeast Grey district
OF Ontario. She will be the first
woman member of the house of COM
mons.

OF J
RECEIVERSHlP OF
BANKS PROPOSED
Guaranty Fund Commission
Believe Move Will Make
For Economy and Effici-
;. ency IS o m e Receivers
Would Have as Many as
Five Closed Banks.

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. S-(Spec.
iaD- Consolidation of receiverships
OF many closed banks in the state
for the purpose of gaining economy
and greater efficiency in handling
their affairs is under consideration
by the Guaranty Fund Commission
and the State Banking Board it was
stated officially today.
Under the proposed plan about 25
receivers would eliminated and
approximately 20 retained. In some
cases, under the proposed plan, one
receiver would have as many as five
banks under his control, but in
some isolated cases receiver would
have but one bank under his iuris-
|diction.
Legal phases of the matter now
are being investigated and when q
report is completed the Guaranty
Fund Commission again will be sum-
moned in meeting to take up details
of putting the proposed plan in op-
|eration. The decision follows con-
ference Of the boards extending ov-
Ter several days.
Under the proposed plan five
closed banks in Renville county
would be placed under one receiver,
who would employ collectors to aid
in his work. All closed banks tri-
butary to New England would be
placed under one receiver. The con-
solidatiOn would be carried as far
as deemed practicable.
A number of the closed banks, it
is expected, will reopen in the near
future and in these cases the re-
ceiverships would not be embraced
in the consolidated plan.
Another feature OF the proposed
plan is that salaries of the receivers
would be fixed by the banking
board. The statutory salary OF re-
ceiver is $40 day. In most cases
at present, it is stated, receivers are
getting this salary, but not in all
cases. The expense of receivership
would be reduced considerably in
Saving upon salaries, it is stated.

PROPOSED TREATY
BETWEEN 4 POWERS
GAINING GROUND
Armament Delegates" Work
on New Agreement to- Con-
suit on Pacific Affairs
Not an Alliance-China
Makes New Gains.

Washington, Dec. T. The four
power agreement being considered
by the United States, Great Britain,
Japan and France, it was learned to-
day, from official American sources
would be a agreement for joint con-
sultatfon on any matters affecting
interest of those notions in the Pac-
ific and not an alliance of technical
entente.
This agreement is in process of
being reduced to treaty form it was
said, and if accepted is to be sub
mitted to the senae.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with fortification
in the Pacific nor with questions re-
latfng to the Island of Yap. Neither
would it deal with any matters af-
fecting China, but only those relat-
ing to the island Of the Pacific.
AS now under negotiation the a.
greement is to be limited to the Pac-
ific islands under the tentative pro-
pOsals, each of the powers would a
gree to consult each other before go
ing to war on any difference that
might arise relating to these islands.
The questions at issue between the
United States and Japan relaing to
cable facilities and other matters af-
fecting the island of Yap are to be
dealt with in separate treaty, which
was said to be near completion.
The proposed four power agree
ment to deal with the Pacific islands
is said to have already been approved
in principle, by British representa-
tfves at the Washington conference.
The substance of the proposed treaty
also. it is said, had been cabled to
Toxic and Paris.
The formal responses Of the British
Japanese and French governments
still remain to be received, however.
