By unanimous consent the Senate
agreed to Senator Penrose's request
that the Young emergency tariff and
anti dumping bill should come to a
vote on Wednesday. It was agreed
that speeches be limited to ten min
utes after noon Of that day at which
time voting upon amendments will
begin. Thus it is probable that the
tariff bill will pass the Senate We'd
nesday evening or sometime on
Thursday.
The bill has been amended in some
particulars, including the elimina-
tion Of the currency revaluation
clause, by the Finance Committee
since its passage by the House and
will therefore have to 60 to confer
ence before it can be sent to the
President. The tariff bill proper
however remains in substantially the
same form as drafted by the Young
subcommittee and any changes
made in the bill either in the Senate
or conference will have but little ef-
feet upon Northwestern agricultur-
lists.
Senator McCumber and Chairman
Penrose Of the Finance Committee

The G Community Meeting last We'd
nesday evening, with president h. II.
Langlon presiding, was well attend
ed and much enthusiasm shown ia
the discussions and talks for the
betterment Of, the town and COM
munity. J.. A. .Noyes of st. Vincent
gave an intresting address on high
ways and the necessity Of Pembinaa
and St. Vincent losing no time in
getting behind the project Of keep
ing the trail through st. Vincent and
Pembina to Winnipeg. Rev. VIM
Z. Robertson carried a message To
the people Of the desireability of.
the Community Church in the small
towns and communities thereby cult
tivating the spirit of brotherly love,
and kindness among the different
congregations. Judson LaMoure Jr.
gave an inspiring address, dwelling
upon the community spirit which
had always prevailed in Pembina,
and the work accomplished for that
reason, paying high tribute to our
ex-mayor, M. H. Miller and ex-al-
derman G. G: Thompson, who have
served the city. in their respective
capacities for II successive years.
On behalf of the people of Pembina
Mr.. LaMoure presented Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Thompson each with a
beautiful ring made from Black
Hills gold, with grape design en-
bossed, as token of appreciation of
the efforts made for, the good of the
town.
H. H. Miller, who has been the ef-
ficient secretary of the Community
Club for several years, gave an in
teresting report of the work done
and the financial condition Of the,
Club at present. Among other pro-
posed improvements for the city, he
reported that the township and local
post of the Legion would put a base
under the monument in the park,
thereby raising it up five steps and
adding greatly to it's appearance.
Pembina was we'll represented at
the meeting and good representa-
tion from the surrounding country,
which was assurance of the interest
taken in affairs of benefit to the
community by the farmers.
These meetings should be held
several times a year and everyone
should be present. 1t is perhaps
easier to remain at home and knock
and complain about what Pembina
lacks than to come out to the meet
ings and help get those things we
need, but it's not very interesting to
those WHO are trying to work for
the common good, to have you do it,
so be numbered among those "pre-
sent" at the next meeting.
A very interesting program of
readings and music by our home
talent was listened to with interest
and appreciation. Readings were
given by Mrs. George Morris and
Miss Violet Moulds. A trio by the
Misses Viola and Berniece Youmans
and Violet Moulds was given and a
saxaphone solo by Mr.. Romstead, of
the customs force, and who is also
leader of the band.
The officers elected were G. G.
Thompson, president; John Booker,
vice-president; Eugene Ryan, treas
urer; E. J. Teberg, secretary. The
board of directors are F. C. Morris,
E. D. Booker, George H. Morris and
]. Heneman.
The Civic League served refresh
ments in the fire hall after the close
OF the delightful evening.

will command the united support Of
the Republican majority with per-
haps the addition Of ahfew Democra-
tic votes. The President is known
to favor the passage of the emer-
gency act and there should be but
little delay in the final enactment of
the law after vote is had by the
Senate.
The national budget bill, introdu-
ced by Good, Republican, Of Iowa,
has passed the House and gone to
conference. The Good bill differs in
certain fundamental particulars from
that Of Senator Mccormick, which.
had previously passed the Senate,
and these differences will have to be
reconciled before the enactment of q
national budget is fact. Such an
adjustment, however, in the opinion
of congressional leaders, will not de-
lay the final enactment Of the law
Tor any appreciable time.
The johnson immigration bill has
passed the Senate and should soon
be a law. In the meantime the
Knox Peace resolution is in the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
where it will remain, it is under
stood, pending the adjustment of
certain international difficulties
abroad arising from the reparations
problem. Sentiment in the House
however seems overwhelmingly in
favor of the peace proclamation and
it should meet with but little delay
when finally pushed for passage.
In various congressional commit
tees attention now seems to be turn
ing to an adjustment of the bonus
and other problems effecting the ex-
service ms1.

men.
Before Senate committee Rich
ard S. Jones, editor of the Stars and
Stripes, and Commissioner Spry, of
the General Land Office, indorsed
the McNary bill to provide a west
ern reclamation fund of $3.50, 900
as the most workable system of
land aid yet proposed in behalf of
soldiers It will be recalled that
Gland aid" was one of the features of
the Fordney soldiers bonus bill that
passed the House during the last
Congress, only to die before action
could be had upon the measure in
the Senate.
Sentiment in Congressaseems to be
strongly in favor Of the passage of
some sort of legislation in the ma
ture of veterans bonus, probably
similar in the main to the Fordney
bill. First however it is the desire
of all concerned that the hospitali-
zation and vocational training bur-
eaus having to do with the care of
the disabled, men be placed upon an
efficient footing, and this, coupled
with the crying need for Legislation
of much Importance to the entire
country, and in some instances of an
emergency character, will necessi-
tate the delay in the consideration
of an adjusted compensation act for
some time.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.

(Exclusive TO-, the Pioneer Express)
The bill providing for an addi-
tional Federal Judge for the district
Of North Dakota, introduced by SEN
ator McCumber, which passed the
Senate recently has provoked. con-
siderable interest in 4 North Dakota
as is evidenced by the flood Of let
ters received during the past week
by members Of the state delegation
here.
Under the provisions Of the bill
the district Of North Dakota will
have but one Federal Judge after
Judge -Amidon, the present incum-
bent, reaches the retirement age. It
is understood here that the press Of
judicial matter is such at this time
that an additional Judge is necessary
in the public interest but that the
condition is likely to be but tenn
porary one. This situation seems to
prevail in many districts just now
as a number Of like measures effec.
ting other states have recently pass
ed the Senate.
The bill providing for an addl-
tional Judge for North Dakota 10
now before the House judiciary
Committee, of which Andrew Vol
stead is chairman, and it is under
stood that all legislation of this
character will come. in for due de-
liberation as Mr.. Volstead is not dis
posed. to act hastily in such matters.
If the demand is sufficient to justify
it he is understood to favor open
hearings upon any of the bills now
before his committee.
In the meantime number of
candidates for the new judgeship
have been advanced by their various
followings and, to quote one author.
ity here, nearly half of the lawyers
in the state seem to have a yearn-
ing for the new appointment. The
position is considered very advan-
tageous one, especially as the ap-
pointment holds for life. Among
those mentioned here for the place
are: Andrew Miller, Seth Richard
son, A. w. Fowler, Judge Palda, and
Martin Murphy, with number of
other prospective candidates loom
ing up in the offing. So far as is
GENERALLY known at least no parti-
cular man seems to hold an advan-
tage as yet. Perhaps by the time
the bill has passed the House the
field will have been narrowed down
considerably.
