deer EASES IN
BUDGETS TO BE
MADE UNDER LAW
Both County and City Levies
Are Cut From Last Year
Under Limitation Act
BIG DECREASE IN THE CITY
Many Cities and Counties
Throughout State Will Have
to Make Big Cuts

Considerable decreases in budgets
for running the city and some town
ships in the county must be made as a
result of the decision of the supreme
court, in which the court failed to
hold the law unconstitutional. The
county auditor is now engaged in fig
uring out the amounts which may be
raised by taxation under the law, pre-
paratory to spreading the 1921 taxes
upon the books
The city budget will be cut from
S106S90OO to $92, ,60067, it is figured.
Last year the city budget was $116,-
332.54, the cut of the city commission
and the limitation from last year to-
totaling $23,732.27.
The cuts are made on the items
which comprise the general fund used
for general expenses of the city, not
including the items for meeting bond
issues or the city's share of the paw
Ing cost. which are fixed items. The
cuts must be made on the general
fund, library, road and street and
contingent funds.
The city budget for these latter
general expenses in 1918 was $54,O79;
in 1919, $7O,S10; in 1920, $7S,S63,, and
the average of the three for these
years, which may be levied, is $67,95O.
County Also Decreased
The county budget is de-
creased greatly from last year also.
When the budget was made, accord
ing to officials, it was made with the
expectation that the law would be
held constitutional, while many bud
gets in this city and in others in the
state were made so that they would
be effective if the law were held un-
constitutional. and could be cut 1t held
constitutional
Heavy cut already had been made
in the county budget by the COM
So. y
The county budget for the gener-
alNfund only in 1918 was $43,368; in
1919, $55,275; in 1920, $48,104, and the
average of these years is .$48,90O. The
total county budget, including many
fixed items, was $2O4,765 last year.
cuts were made in this
to bring the budget within the law
this year.
The commissioners also levy for
unorganized townships. or these
levies for Richmond and PhOnenix
must be cut, while Naughton, Lin
coin, Riverview, Ft. Rice and Rich
mond will not be affected.
In some cities Of the state, notably
Fargo, the budgets levied have been
far in excess of the limit under the
tax limit law, and there is serious
problem presented to them. The
city of Fargo must reduce its budget
Of $365,OOO to $129,000.

SENATOR RACE
IS DISCUSSED
BY POLITICIANS
Several Candidates Are Talked
of in Hotel Lobby Conver-
satiOns Here
SEE GRONNA ENTERED
EE GRONNA ENTERED
Former Senator Expected to Try
and Come Back-McCumber
Attitude a Question

Already discussion has begun in
political circles of the Republican
and Democratic primaries of next
June when candidates for United
States Senator will be nominated, as
well as candidates for Congress and
for state offices. The approaching
senatorial fight occasioned much dis
cussion outside of North Dakota even
before the recall election but it was
seldom discussed publicly in this
state.
Whether Senator McCumber, with
more than a score of years service
in the United States Senate. will
again be candidate is not known.
Politicians generally have accepted
the belief that he would again seek
the senatorial toga. Senator Nc
Cumber is one Of the senior members
Of the senate.
Many other probable candidates
have been mentioned. Among them
is former Senator A. J. Gronna, who
was defeated by Senator <. F.. Ladd
IN the Republican primary of 1920.
No announcement ever has been made
by Senator GrOnna. 1t was reported
after his defeat that he was to be
offered an appointment in the
diplomatic service by President
Harding but 1t Is understood that the
former Senator had no desire to leave
North Dakota. He is looked upon as ;,
sure entrant in. the race.
Tho uo,no NJ I,,1uo M rhr;ct;op
son, of the supreme court, was first
mentioned in connection with the sena-
torial fight some months ago outside
Of North Dakota. He has never given
any hint Of his ideas on the subject,
and has refused to discuss it.. Judge
Christianson polled handsome ma
jority in the last election for the
supreme court jhdgeship in cam
paign in which his only statement O
any kind was that if nominated ht
would obey his oath of office. His
opponent took the stump while Judge !
Christianson did not say a word in
his own behalf during the campaign
Others Mentioned
Others have been mentioned. Jerry
Bacon Of Grand Forks, publisher OF
Grand Forks Herald, has been sug-
gested as one to whom mention in
this connection is not unpleasant
Former Judge Crawford, of Dickin
son, and Congressman George m
Young of the Second district also
have been suggested, while Congress-
man O. B. Burtncss is suggested as a
likely candidate either at the next
election or four years hence.
There had been reports many times,
which had been denied, that were the
Nonpartisans continued in power
Attorney General Lemke would have
been q candidate for the United
States Senator. Goevrnor Frazier also
had been mentioned as likely to be
urged by his friends, though lie has
not sought political preferment to
crafty andy ambition and has no
hankering for the limelight.

THREATEN GENERAL STRIKE.


Indianapolis, Nov. "A nationwide
strike of coal miners seemed inevi.
table last night if operators heed the
injunction issued by Federal Judge
A. B. Anderson, which prescribed the
check off of union dues. .
A telegram sent late yesterday from
headquarters of the United Mine

definitely learned that the injunction
was not yet in effect, advised union
officials to regard discontinuance OF
the check off as breaking the exist
ing wage agreement.
The telegram, signed by President
John L. Lewis, Vice President Philip
Murray and Secretary William Green
said::
ANY abrogation or setting aside II
any part or section of this agreement,
including the section providing for
the checking off of dues and assess
ments cannot be regarded as other
than violation of the agreement. anu
should be treated according by the
district officers and local unions"
While no course of conduct for
union officials was outlined by the tele-
gram, it was authoritively said tha.
the international officers regarded the
strike as the unions only weapon to
enforce contract The telegram was
sent to officials of 16 states, where
the check off provisions obtained and
where 100000 Of the $4,000 union
