In line with tho governors policy,
as announced In campaign speeches,

expected that such a recommends
ton will be made with regard to the
Bank Of North Dakota. It Is generally
held In Administrative circles that tho
distance OF the Grand Forks mill
and elevator from the state capital
makes It imperative that a board be
named to manage the mill. but that

plies to the Bank Of North Dakota.

There are several measures said
to be necessary In consideration Of

ECONOMY EXPECTED
AT COMING SESSION,
j. NELSON DECLARES

Fargo. N. D., Dec. 23.-Prediction
that the legislators and state officials
Of North Dakota are going to do their
utmost to curtail unnecessary appro-
pr!ations and revert to strictest
economy is made In q statement
made public today by Theodore G..
Nelson, secretary Of the Independent
;yoters' association: ast: = i*S
Z. Many,;of the legislators are pioneers
and =ha d-stns deny themselves, raa1y
comforts I'm Rorder to provide for
themselves and their dependents the
barest necessities and as many con-
Yeniences as possible. Mr.. Nelson
believes that the legislators will deal
with state affairs on the same basis
as they dealt with their own. Ac-
cording to Mr.: Nelson. there are q
we really need that will have to be
set aside for better times. The ar
Euments for the various kinds Of
appropriations will be. Of course, very
intense, but the legislators will have
to hold their ground for a more
rigid economy than ever before, says
Mr.. Nelson.
y Tax Prospects.
& Referring to the lowering Of taxes,
Mr.. Nelson continued: W.
Because of this temper of the
legislators, there Is every reason TO
believe that there would be a very
lowering Of taxes were it
not for the big losses that will have
to be made good because Of the mis-
management Of the league adminis-
trahon and because of the interests
that will have to be paid on the
bonds that have been issued for vari-
GUS purposes. including the mill and
elevator project at Grand Forks. The
interest on the bonds for that enter
prise will have to come out Of the
peoples pockets until it gets on a
profit making basis. These are hard
times in which to be experimenting
even on the scale that the Grand
Forks mill and elevator requires. We
are fortunate that we haven't thirty
OF them under headway. as was plan
ned under the Frazier-Lemke admin
lstration."
