CONGRESS STARTS
EFFORT TO REDUCE
ROUTINE EXPENSES
Big Saving in Clerical and
Printing Costs Expect
ed During Session.

Economies are working in Con-
gress far in advance of the estab-
lishment of a budget system.
Announcement has just been made
by the Senate Joint Committee on
Printing that the mailing lists of
all compendium publications will
be suspended Immediately.
All pension and private bills in
the future will be handled on forms
printed in wholesale quantities. 1t
is estimated that more than 100000
a year will be saved on this item
alone. The change will do away
entirely with the printing OF private
pension bills, of which thousands
are produced by the Government
Printing Office every year. About
400 such bills have been introduced
during the first nine days of the
present session.
Senator George H. Moses, of New
Hampshire. new chairman of the
joint committee, introduced the bill
providing for the introduction of
all pension and private bills draft
ed in a uniform manner and made
out upon blanks to be provided for
that purpose.
Senator Moses consented to the
reference of his bill to the Rules
Committee. Assurance of it's favor
able report has been given.
Reduction of the number of COM
mittees from seventy to forty-two
has struck out at one blow an ex-
pense of thousands. The fifteen ma
jor committees. reduced in mem
bership. have simplified their plans
of work. The slack to be taken ur
in committee session alone will save
large sum annually.
The stenographic and clerical
forces will be held to the minimum
during the present year. Public

French Disapprove U. S.
Hands in Mediations

PARIS. April 22. From semi
official sources it is learned that
there is keen disdapproval in gov
ernment circles of permitting Ger
many to submit proposals regard
ing reparations to the United States
for mediation.
1t is pointed out that if Germany
has any acceptable propositions Ito
make, they should be submitted
regularly to the reparations com
mission as the Versailles treaty
provides.
Holds to Treaty.
France considers that any other
method would be violation of
that treaty, and looks upon that as
"unpardonable imprudence" to set
tie the reparations document other
wise than by the usual procedure

IMMIGRATION BILL
STOPPING ALIENS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Calculated 355,OOO Will
Be Greatest Number
Admitted.

Without record vote. and with
only handful of members dissent
ing. the House yesterday. passed the
Dillingham; emergency immigration
bill. designed to halt the food OF
European immigration into the
United States during the next year.
The bill would limit admissions
Of aliens of any nationality during
the next year to 3 per cent of the
number Of foreign-born. persons OF
such nationality residing in the
United States according to the 1910
census.
1t is calculated that the maximum
number of immigrants admitted un-
der this, restriction will be $4,000
Estimates of the number likely to
be admitted during the next year
under the existing law range from
100000 to 100000.
Amendment Defeated.
Debate today was enlivened by
efforts to inject the Irish question
into the proceedings. Representa-
tive SABBATH. of Illinois. proposed a
series of amendments to protect the
right of political refugees to seek
asylum in the United States.
Representative Bourke Cochran
urged the adoption of the amend
ments as necessary to preserve the
traditions of American liberty.
Their defeat quickly followed,
however, when Representative Mon
dell, Republican leader, took the
moor against them. He declared that
the amendments opened the way to
all kinds of undesirable aliens to
enter the United States.

Not only could William the
Damned come here. but the EN-
peror of Austria, and all the kings
and queens that have been showed
out of Europe could seek refuge in
the United States" he said. When
the pendulum swings the other way
in Russia, Lenine and Trotsky could
come here. Under these amend
ments We cannot close our doors
even upon avowed anarchists. OF
course, we are all Americans, but
the way to prove it is by vote and
not by words"
representative SaDath proposed
another amendment permitting
Mayor OCallaghan of Cork to re-
main in the United States. This was
beaten without a record vote.
Priority to War Veterans.
The only amendment of impor-
tance adopted by the House was one
onered by Representative Hamilton
Fish, New York, giving priority to
relatives Of foreign-born ex-service
men. This amendment was carried
by vote of 110 to %.
The bill. as finally passed by the
House. Is almost exactly the same
as that enacted by Congress at the
last session and vetoed by President
wilson on March 4. 1t takes effect
on May 10, and remains in effect
until June 80, 1922.

the Winneshiek County Corn Trophy
for the year 1921. He holds this
trophy for one year. This trophy
changes hands often. This proves
that any new exhibitor from Win

win this trophy at the Ames contest
each year. Why not begin now to
plan to show corn in this contest on
next year. Because of the many eX-

county contest recently held at Post

that interest in corn is growing. The
more that you show corn, the more
interested you become. The more in

show, and the more you learn, and
the better your crop will be. Why
not begin now to think about what
contest you will enter next year.

Slow Motion Camera Shows Just
Why Man O'War Won.


How many people know the
actual motions that horse goes
through in running? That is answer
ed by slow-motion pictures of Man
Io'War and the horse that he con-
quered in the great race at Windsor,
Ont, through the work of the slow
motion, which analyses in every de-
tail the movements of the two great
est racers in THE Race of the Age"
which will be seen at The Star
theatre Friday and Saturday, Feb.
4th and 9Th.
This slow-motion analysis is said
to answer the question why Man o.
War is the greatest horse the world
has ever seen in showing his great
length of stride, his ease of move
ment and great muscular power, and
his determination as evidenced in
every movement.
Slow-motion is only one of the de-
tails of The Race of the Age, y
which is an exclusive perturbation
Of the $4,000 match race. Fourteen
cameras were used in making the
film which is promised to have just
as much interest to women and
children as to the followers Of racing.

Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-11-10

The various campaigns in the past
five years have developed much bitter
ness. The interests of the state have
suffered much while factions of al
most equal strength and resources
flew at each others Threats. The in
dependents kept up their fight until
victory was finally secured. It might
have been expected that the league
reverse would create feeling of bit
terness on the part of the vanquished.
Such does not seem 20 be generally
the case. One reason for this may
be the fact that the Independents
generally are willing to concede hon.
esty of purpose to the large majority
of leaguers who stood by their guns.
Only for the paif agitator have they
had a feeling of disgust. It cannot
be denied that hundreds of men
throughout the state have howled
long and loud for the league simply
to hold job on the payroll. That
class is now out of luck. Let us
hope that the new administration
will not be long in looping off large
section of the payroll army, and that
part really needed to be filled with
men of ability and integrity, rather
than be men capable Of making the
most noise at election time.

to demonstrate prior to next spring
just what the independents propose
to do.

Foreign Advestisins Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

What chance for some accomp-
'lished writer there is to paint word
picture of the rise and fall of the
political career of that picturesque
character, A. C. Townley, and the
organization he built and fostered.
Almost at the same moment that the
people of North Dakota were break
ing all precendents by recalling the
league administrations that Townley
placed in power, Townley himself
was driving in a battered flivver to
Jackson, Mimi, to- rest behind prison
bars for ninety days as disloyalist.
A few short years ago Townley was
callow visionary homesteading on the
plains of one of the most sparsely
settled counties of North Dakota.
He was then dabbling in socialism.
A little later, he and some friends
conceived the idea of the Nonparti-
san. League. Under Townleys' lead,
the old order was swept from power
and the Townley forces ruled supreme
in all departments of our state gov
eminent. The executive, the judi
ciary and the legislative departments
Of North Dakota were at Townley's
beck and call. Their great initial sue
cess in North Dakota drove them far
in neighboring states. The wealthy
state of Minnesota tremDled before the
Townley onslaughts. South Dakota
gave signs of joining the procession.
Idaho, Montana, Washington, Wiscon-
sin Kansas and Nebraska became fer
tile fields for Townley doctrines. But
only in Dakota were they COM
pletely successful. Only in North
