WHAT YOU WILL
CAST BALLOT
ON, OCT. %

. INOs &
Two constitutional amendments
not political in character are sub
mitted to the voters and may be
lost sight of because discussion is
centered upon other measures on
which there are political differ
ences.
The first is regarding compen-
sation of members of the legisla'
ture. 1t provides that the consti'
tuition be amended by increasing
the pay allowed members Of the
legislature from IS a day, or $500
for 60 day session, to $1,000 for
each, biennium. The usual 10 cents
: mile for travel going and coming
is provided for.
Another constitutional amend
ment proposes that in counties
having 5000 population or less the,
county Judge shall also be the
clerk of the district court. This
measure was advocated in the leg
islature by some representatives
of smaller counties in the state as
measure of economy and effic-
iency.
Both these proposed amend
ments are submitted to the peo-
pie on concurrent resolutions OF
the last general assembly.

LUDWIG, FORMER. N j

King Who Lost Throne When
German Armies Were De. s
feated Dies in Hungary
TOOK THRONE, IN 6sTH YEAR

London, Oct. 19-7Ludwig III, for
mer King of Bavaria, whose throne
crunlbled when the German armies
were defeated, died yesterday at Sar-
var castle, in Hungary. His death
closed most picturesque career.
Ludwig III, as King of Bavaria, was
ruler Of kingdom which, next to
Prussia, is the largest state in the
German empire both In area. and pop
ulation. When, in his 6Sth year, he
ascended the throne on November 5,
1913, he was the first full fedged king
that this big south German kindgom
had known since 1886, for in the in
term Of % years the Bavarians had
recognized as their nominal rulers
two insane sOvereigns, the extravagant
palace builder, Ludwig II, who drown
ed himself, and his brother, King Otto,
known as MAD" Otto. who was de-
posed because of his mental infirm.

The regency of the Bavarian throne,
from 1886 to 1912, had been in the
hands Of Prince Luitpold, a cousin of
the two insane mOnarchs, and upon
his death, in December, 1912, 1t passed
to Ludwig III. A movement was inn
mediately begun to make this new re-
gent the actual king in place of the
demented Otto but it was not until
November $, in the following year
that Ludwig consented to accept the
CROWN. provided bill changing the
constitution passed the Bavarian diet.
This act was speedily passed, and
Ludwig, in pursuance of it's provis-
ions, unfurled his royal standard on
the ancient Wittlesbach Palace in Mu-
mich, while the incompetent Otto was
placed in restraint. The transfer of
the throne met with general approval.
One thing the Bavarians were re.
ported to have hailed as favorable in
their new King when Ludwig ascend
ed the throne was that he was believ-
ed to be far less amenable to Prus-
sian influence than his father, the re-
gent Luitpold, had been. At a ban
quet in Moscow, when the present En-
peror Nicholas of Russia was crowned
it was remembered he had made q
speech that was thought to define his
disposition in this matter. He had
then declared that the states of the
German confederation were equal ir

they we're allies, and not vassalsi

Speaking Nations Should Be
.'Unthinkable"

Yorktown, Va, Oct. ia doctrine
Iof enduring friendship between the
United States and Great Britain was
pronounced by President Harding to-
day at ceremony conmemorating the
final surrender of the British expedi-
tionary forces over the British in Nh
Revolutionary war.
Surrounded by high officials of his
administration and standing within
sight of the spot where CORVALLIS laid
down his sword in 1881 the President
declared in deliberately chosen words
a sentiment of peaceful relationship
between the two great English-speak-
ing nations for all time to come. That
either should ever lift the sword
against the other must be 'unthink-
able" he said.

Clear and definite marking Of streets
of Bismarck was discussed by the
Town Criers, meeting last night at
the Grand Pacific hotel.
Few of the streets in the western

Of lack of proper designation of both
streets and houses is e make it diff
cult for strangers to get about in the
city and also causes much loss Of
time to business men III making deliv-
cries with new boys.
Another proposal discussed was
marking of all trails within 100 miles
of Bismarck, showing the distances to
the city. and proposal that residents
