4-POWER PACT
Is IN SIGHT
This Treaty Called Up Wed
nesday After Ratification
Of Yap Pact.

Washington, March "A prolong-
ed and stubborn debate was in pros
pect when the senate opened discus
sion today on the four power Pacific
treaty regarded as the pivotal agree
ment of the arms conference series.
The treaty was called up late yester-
day Immediately after the senate had
ratified without reservation the Yap
treaty with Japan by vote of 67 to
u in which the 80 Democrats present
divided 13 for ratification and 19
against, while only 8 Republicans vot-
ed in the negative.
The significance of that vote with
regard to. the four power and other
treaties awaiting senate action was a
question on which the leaders OF the
various senate elements today dis
agreed. The administration managers
said they expected to lose very few
of the votes they commanded yester-
day in the subsequent ratification roll
calls while the "irreconcilables" pre-
dicted that the lineup. of the four
power treaty would show at least sew

BANKERS Will
BEAR SHAREOF
TAX BURDENS
Offer Made to State at Con-
ference Held Today at
Bismarck.
(Herald Spccial Seryice.)


Bismarck. N. D.. March MANY
of the leading bankers of the state
were In conference here today and
met members of the state administra-
tion for the purpose of arriving at a
Just share Of taxation which should
sbe paid upon bank stock In the state.
Although the supreme court held
that under present laws bank stock
Is virtually exempted from taxation
by the state. the bankers feel that
they should bear a just share OF the
burden of government. 1t was said by
those at the conference.
The total amount Of money in
volved is about 100000 for 1920 and
$6S5.0O0 for 1921, it was said. Under
the decision of the supreme court the
state is without any authority to COL
lect any of this money.
Bankers Offer.
The bankers decided to offer the
administration settlement of the
matter by paying taxes for 1920. 1921
and 1922 on the basis of class two
property.
The tax on bank real estate is not
involved and they would pay it at the
same rate as other owners of real
estate pay. One of the matters con-
sidered by the administration was
that there is no law under which they
can tax bank stock for 1929.
The matter was to be considered
further this afternoon and It was ex-
pected some decision would be
reached.
Among the bankers at the confer
ence were: P. H. Beckwith, H. c.
Gearey, Fred A. Irish. George Hollis
ter, A. G. Divet and w. C. Macfadden
Of Fargo; E. J. Lander of Grand
Forks; John G. Gunderson of Aneta;
