STATE TURNS DOWN
BOND SALE PLAN OF
BANKERS COMMITTEE

some means of selling available Sc
curities and lettering the financial
situation throughout the state, beg to
submit the following:
Through the numerous conferences
of the past month, it would appear
that the most immediate and impor'
tant question is the sale Of the sew
eral issues of the state bonds now
being offered.
The bankers Of the state have
earnestly cndeavored to assist in the
sale of these bonds, but so far with
out success. The administration mas
also been unable to sell them.
The bankers have ascertained the
condition under which those bond:
could now be sold by them, and with
those conditions before them, make
the proposition:
The bankers would undertake to
SELL
S3,0OO0OO of farm loan bonds, as
we'll as the balance of the $1O,OO0,OOO,
as reasonably needed and the mar
ket will absorb.
$2,0O0,OOO of mill and elevator bonds
to complete and put in operation the
Grand Forks mill and elevator.
S25O,0OO of home building bonds.
$1,OOOOO0 of the Bank of North Do-
kota bonds.
TO bring this about, It would be
necessary on the part )f the admin
istration-
TO limit the operation CT tho Bark
of North Dakota to the administration
of state, state institutions, and state
industry finances, farm loan and
farm loan bonds.
10 procure the enactment Of a
new depositary law TO-: counties,
townships, school districts, boards Cf

pOsits would be properly distributed

The cooperative movement be-
tween the state administration and
bankers inaugurated at meeting
held here Dec. apparently is at an
end today.
Bankers left for their homes last
night, after a long conference. with
the industrial commission, stating
that they had gone as far as they
could, and that their efforts to sell
state bonds and the organization of
the North Dakota finance corpora
ton to relieve financial conditions in
the state must end.
The industrial commissions reply
to the proposition laid before it by
the bankers was to be made today
in a formal statement. The commits
siOns attitude, it is understood, was
that there can he no compromise on
the organization of state industries.
Some state officials however, think
there is a probability OF further
get-together meeting
The conference, which was held N
the governors office, ended long aft
er dark last night. The bankers
were represented by special COM
mittee of the state association AMI
members Of the state officials bank
ers committee named Dec. 7. The
state was represented by Governor
Frazier, Attorney General Lcmke,
Commissioner of Agriculture John
Hagan and Director General of the
bank, F. w. Cathro.
The bankers. the chief spokesmen
for whom were &. II. Hollister and
T.. J. Wejser of Fargo, laid before
the state officials the changes in
laws they said were demanded by
eastern investors before they could
buy the bonds.
The action is held by bankers to
mean that unless new methods
of financing are devised work
on the Grand Forks mill and
elevator and home building must
be suspended indefinitely. Plans
for sale of bonds to take up the real
estate mortgage bonds and provide a
cash capital stock for the Bank of
North Dakota are disrupted. Plans
for the sale of county and school
warrants through the finance cor
poration are ended. The proposition
put before the industrial commission

ELIMINATION

IN NEW PLAN
Secretary Houston Proposes
Complete Revampng of

NATIONAL POLL CHARGE

Five Dollars
POLL CHARGE

Washington, Jan. S.-A comprehen-
slVe program for revision Of the fed
eral laws estimated to yield annually
the four billion dollars which Secre-
tary Houston has said the treasury
required, was filed today with the
house ways and means committee by
the tax committee of the national re-
tail dry goods association.
The plan contains several proposals
not heretofore advanced, including the
assessment of Il federal poll tax of IS
on each person over II years old who
receives an independent income. In
come tax exemption, it is proposed
would be raised from $1,000 to $4,000
for unmarried persons and from $4,000
to $o,OOv for heads of families. All
business would be allowed an exemp-
ton of $4,000. Other features carried
in the program which was approved
through referendum of the organ
izatiOns 1000 members provide that:
Income from salaries, wages,
bonuses and commissions should not
be taxed at 50 high a rate as income
from business and Investment.
VH DuSJueSS ltSeu
Income derived from business
should be taxed on the business itself
and be subject to no additional tax
when distributed to partners or stock
holders.
All other income, including profit
from the sales Of capital assets should
be taxed at higher rate than income
from business and in a still higher de-
gree than from manual or mental ef-
forts.
There should be a tax on gross sales
of all goods sufficient when added to
all other taxes proposed to aggregate
the required $4,000, 100000.
The program would eliminate from
the present revenue act the present
excess profit taxes, surtaxes or indi-
viduals, taxes on transportation, insur-
ance, admission dues, and on non-alcO-
holic beverages and special and capital
stock taxes, stamp taxes and certain
excise taxes.
