HOLDS ANNUAL
MEETING TODAY
Business Men Hear Address BY
Curtis Mosher of the Federal
Reserve Bank
DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED
Are Made Upon The
Work of The Club in City
in Past Year
DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED

Curtis G. Mosher, assistant federal
reserve agent Of the Minneapolis dis
trict, spoke to more than 100 busi-
ness men gathered at the Open Forum
luncheon of the Commercial club,
held in the Grand Pacific hotel today.
Mr. Mosher, an outline of whose ad-
dress is given in another column,
went into the various factors which
have disturbed the financial situation
in the last two years
The meeting also was the annual
gathering of the club, for hearing re-
ports and election Of new directors.
President c. l.. Young, presiding,
gave short talk upon the club and
it's future. He spoke of the past year
as the most depressing and discourag-
ing for club work but with improving
conditions more tangible achievements
should not be impossible. r.
Directors Chosen
Five directors OF the club were
elected as follows: Charles J. Ander-
son, r. B. Cox, P. w. Lumry, Roy Lo.
gan and Carl Nelson. The directors
will hold meeting later to elect Of
ficers.
Multiplicity Of Organizations
Mr.. Young spoke of the Commercial
clubs position as a community clear
ing house. He referred to the multi
pllcity of organizations in the city,
saying that the club is somewhat
handicapped by the increase in the
number of organizations making more
of a social appeal. A coordination Of
activities is not only desirable, but
is necessary, he said. Mr.. Young
said that the club could do nothing
without cooperation and urged men,
bers not to wait for the board or sec
retary to act, but if they knew of
something the club should do, say so
to the responsible parties. They do
not hold their places from choice, he
said, and should have the help of all
members.
/ e.. kenistOn's Report
Secretary Keniston presented re-
port on the activities Of the club dur
ing the last year. He said the civic
activities of the club are suggestive
more frequently than promotive, and

organizations, such as the Elks work
in obtaining the swimming pool, the
Town Criers, Rotary club, Lions club,
Women's Community Council, Busi-
ness and Professional Women's club
and others, s.-
He said the committee on civic
affairs reported substantial progress
in the sentiment for city survey, "a
city plan and eventually park board.
He said the good roads committee
cooperated with state, federal and
municipal officials for the building Of
good roads.
The club paid the expenses of five
prize winners from Burleigh county
to the Agricultural college to study
the particular matters upon which
they won prizes in farm activity, and
referred to the various activities in
Guiding the Holstein circuit, freight
rate work. and reported on the gen.
eral development of the city, includ-
ing many improvements and building
projects.

MAIL ORDER
HOUSES AIDED?
Minnesota Man Assails Daugh-
erty's Accusations

Chicago, Feb. 16.-H. E. Hart, Of
Long Prairie, Minn., speaking before
the Interstate Merchants Council here
today said that there seemed to be
only one class of merchandise dis
tributors that have had "a good stand
ing with either the Democratic or Re-
publican administration and these
are the mail order houses.
''If the accusation Of the Attorney
General against the retail merchants
were not inspired by mailorder in
terests," he asks, "by whom were
they inspired? What would it be worth
to the mail order interests to have the
public educated by the Attorney-Gen-
eral and their radical newspapers to
believe that every time they make a
purchase at a retail store they were
being robbed? 1t would mean millions
of extra trade to the mail order con-
cerns." ....

ASKS
SALES TAX FOR
SOLDIER BONUS
Executive Tells Congress That Is
Only Practical Means of
Raising Money
SUGGESTS ALTERNATIVE
If Congress Not Ready TO Ac-
cept Sales Tax 1t Should
Defer Bonus, He Says

Washington, Feb. President
Harding Informed Congress today he
considered a general sales tax the
only feasible method of raising. funds
for the soldiers bonus.
The executive, in Il letter addressed
to Chairman F0rdney OF the House
Ways and Means committee and Chair
Ways and Means committee suggested
that unless Congress saw fit to enact
a sales tax passage Of bonus legisla.
tion should be temporarily postponed.
Il believe the president wrote, "the
American people will accept the levy
of a general sales tax to meet the pro-
posed bonus payments and we should
contribute thereby no added difficult
ties to the problem of readjustment
If Congress will not adopt such a plan
it would be wise to let the Legislation
go over until there is situation which
will justify the large outlay"
Puts Matter in Air
The presidents letter was regard
ed generally as leaving the bonus
situation even more complicated than
before. The senate and house sub
committees were to meet late in the
day to receive and consider the white
house communication. a
When the sales tax was discussed
in the sub committee last week it was
understood that senators were inform
ed that less than 100 Republican votes
in the house could be mustered for a
sales tax as a method Of financing
the adjusted compensation. Such
tax had been considered by house
leaders as possibility but virtually
had been discarded
CONGRESSMAN GIVES VIEW : y
Washington, Feb. 16.-Enactment of
sales tax as the only practicable
means of raising money for a soldier
bonus was stated to be the view of
President Harding by Representative
Longworth, of Ohio, Republican men,
ber of the House Ways and Means
committee, after call today at the
White House. The Ohio representa-
tive said he understood such view
would be set forth by, the President in
his letter to members Of the finance
committee OF Congress.
Such an executive view also was
reflected by Senator Felinghuysen, Re
publican, New Jersey, who called at
the White House while the Presidents
letter was in course of preparation.
