FEDERAL JUDGE
Minot Man in City Today
Being Mentioned For
Appointment.

La-,
Francis Murphy Of Minot said to-
day that he was merely in a receptive
mood in regard to his possible ap-
pointment to the federal bench.
1t has beer rumored that a new
federal judge would be appointed to
act with Judge c.. F. Amidon while
the latter remains in Office and. when
Judge Amidon retires to remain as
sole federal district judge for the
state.
Under the law a federal Judge is
eligible for retirement on full pay
when he reaches the 6 Of 10. I'M
der this law Judge Amidon still has
several years to serve although for
some time past he has been partially
incapacitated for the actual work Of
his Office. For this reason the ap-
pointment Of another judge is being
considered. it is said.
MI. Murphy and Andrew Miller Of
Bismarck have both been mentioned
as possible appointees. The latter
served as attorney general during
Governor L. B. Hanna's first term in
office.

PROPONENT OF NEWEST
TAX SCHEME ON STAND
Sawyer Says Tax on Bank ..
posts Would Net Government
Billion a Year

Henry b. Sawyer of Boston, origi-
nator of the plan to levy a small tax
on bank deposits as a substitute for
the excess profits tax, told the COM
| mittee on ways and means yesterday
that tax of one-tenth- of l per cent
would produce s700.0O0,0OO annually
while a tax of one-fourth of / pc,
cent would produce $1,750, 000, 900. Mr.
Sawyer. who is treasurer of proper.
ties managed by Stone & Webster
said that his proposal in reality wa.
a stamp tax on bank deposits. that il
was simpler than most substitutes for
existing laws. was easily understood
and easy of collection
Questions asked by members of tn
committee indicated some opposition
Mr.. Sawyer emphasized that the bill
before the committee was most tenta.
tive and had been introduced merely
as basis for discussion.
Mr.. Sawyer said he believed that
two or three tax laws could be enact
ed which would raise revenue much
better than it Is raised at present by
fifty laws. He said that the excess
profits tax. the capital stock and the
higher brackets of the income tax
were so burdensome that they must
be modified.
Mr.. Sawyer said it was possible
that the tax would lie heaviest
against the trading on exchanges. but
that a tax Of one-fourtt of 1 per
cent would be SO heavy a burden that
it would result disastrously to the
country by unduly restricting these
transactions. The tax, he said, un-
doubtedly would cause the total year
| ly deposits of the country to shrink
slightly. as some way would be found
to eliminate one Or two motions in
transfers as made now.
Representative John Garner, rank
! ing minority member Of the commit
tee. raised the point that if a man
borrowed $4,000 for fifteen days at G
per cent interest and deposited the
| money in a bank he would pay as
| much for the deposit as he would in
interest. Business cannot be done
that way in America" he remarked
Former Representative Burke of
Pennsylvania voiced the opposition of
certain bankers when he said that
the Sawyer proposal was vicious, that
it would be destructive to the bank
ing structure of the country and that
it would drive money into stocks and
socks"

900 for the next fiscal year for PROM

coed 100000.

trict committee who are particularly

Eounced today that the meeting OF

been held tomorrow has been post
poned for one week.
| Another congressional resolution
| designed to curtail the size of the
| Regular Army was introduced yeter-
day by Representative Kahn of call

tary committee. His measure pro-
vides that enlistmentS must cease I'M
| til the Army is reduced to $4,000 en-
listed men, but would permit men
who have served two or more enlist
ments in the Regular Army to re-en-
/ list.
| Drastic changes in the naturaliza-
| ton law especially as applying to
, women, are provided in bill re-
i ported favorably by the House immi-
grafton committee yesterday. The
measure will take the place of two
naturalization bills on the House
calendar, and an effort will be made,
according to Representative John
son of Washington, chairman of the
committee, to have Congress approve
it at this session.
