DIRECTORS OF

ARE ELECTED

Body Declares q IL Per
Cent Dividend

Directors of. the Bismarck Build
ing and Loan Association were elect
ed at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the association last
night, the following being named:
A. w. Lucas, e. A. Hughes, J. L. Bell,
F. L. Conklin, c. B. Little, Robert
Orr, R. D. Hoskins, r. A. Tracy, J.
A. Larson. The business INJECTING
had just been concluded when the
tragic death of Robert Orr, presi-
dent of the association occurred. The
directors will meet later to select
officers.
A dividend of IL percent was de-
clared by the association, which re-
ported continued prosperous bust
ness. The association organized in
1907, has been of assistance in the
building of $50 homes in the city it
was said, and has been attractive
from the standpoint of those who
have invested in it. It has grown
largely of its own volition, it was
said, it being the idea of the found
ers to create an agency to help make
Bismarck city of home owners ra-
Their than to build money-making
business. The association has had
two presidents, Oscar H. Will and
Robert Orr. Assets now total $311,-

TALK PLANS

TO FINANCE
EQUITY PLANT

Fargo, N. D., Jan. ,7.-During the
morning session of the meeting Of
the Equity Cooperative Packing COM
pany, it was suggested that syndi-
cate take oyer the quick assets and
liabilities against the company.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with representatives of the Far
go Commercial club and other Fargo
business and financial interests in
regard to the rehabilitation of the
company.
According to the statement of Pre-
sident Richard, if the company fails
to raise funds either by solicitation
from the stakeholder and local bust
ness men the syndicate plan will be
tried.
The stockholders reelected the
three retiring officers and gave the
board a vote Of confidence. Present
liabilities of the company detailing
$15O,528.95 must be paid before the
company can dissolve the receiver
ship.
Accoring to Mr.. Richards it will
require at least $4,000 to liquidate
the obligations and put the business
on a running basis.
"The only thing to- be DONE" Mr..
Richards continues, ''is to raise mo.
ney, pay off the debts, aid take the
plan out of the hands of receivers"
Later during the meeting officers
were to be elected.

gorgeous young prince of India,
is the theme Of Valentines latest
picture, "The Young Rajah" which
showed at the Eljnge yesterday and
which remains for today and tomor-

The story was adapted by June
Mathis from John Ames Mitchell's
popular novel, "Amos Judd" and the
play of the same name by Alethea
Luce. According to the story, valen-
tino is Hindu Prince who, as a
child, is struggled out Of India to
save his life and is brought to Am
erica and placed under the care of a
New England family.
The boy grows up and becomes an
athletic hero at Harvard. His love
affair with young heiress is broken
off when he is suddenly kidnapped
by emissaries from India and taken
back to his native land. A usurper
has seized the throne there, and
Valentino, now back in the garb OF
an Indian prince, Gusts him. Out of a
sense Of duty toward his people he is
about to sacrifice his love for the
American, hit series of unexpect-
ed happiness brings things out hap

resorting to stringent means to for
bid the evil practice. In New York
state for example, drivers are being
fined and in some instances jailed.
This state has established a fine of
$50 or month in Jail as the mini
mum penalty for the first offense in
using overloaded motor trucks on
public highways. For the second Of
fense, there is minimum fine of
$3.50 or two months in Jail, and for
the third, minimum fine of 500
and the suspension of registration
of truck for not less than thirty days
nor more than six months. In Mary
land, the highway police force truck
drivers to unload and pile at the
roadside such part of the load in ex-
cess1of rated capacity and then send
for another truck at the operators
expense to carry it off.
Overlooking is one of the biggest
evils that truck manufacturers must
contend with. declared Mr.. Taylor.
If stringent and restrictive legisla-
tion against trucks is passed by the
various states, it will be largely the
fault of the owners who wink at de-

BUDGET FOR
COUNTY URGED
President of Auditors AssO-
citation Sees it as Great
Help

Legislation providing for real
county budget system would be big
step toward economy and efficiency
in counties and subdivisions, in the
opinion of William w. Felson, au-
ditor of Pembina county and presi-
dent of the state auditors associa-
tion, who is in Bismarck for several
days to confer with officials and leg
islators concerning recommendations
of the auditors.
The county budgeting system has
been tried in Pembina county with
fine results, Mr.. Felson said. Not
only is there regular session of the
commissioners at which various Off
Gals make formal representation
concerning the needs of their Of
fices, but the budgeHng extends to
all subdivisions. A general meeting
is held, and school officers and 9TH
ers attend to discuss finances and
best methods of handling the county
business. A detailed record of re-
quests, decreases and increases is
maintained by the auditor for the
information of taxpayers.
Pembina county last year, for the
first time, got along on a budget
less than the state tax levy.
Mr.. Felson said that most of the
recommendations Of the auditors
association already had been put be-
fore the legislature by representa-
tives and senators in bills ihtroduc-
ed. The auditors also want to see
change in the tax limitation law.
Mr.. Felson will represent the audit
ors in working on plans before state
officials and legislative committees.
