OPERATORS TO
MEET IN CITY
ON RATE BOOST
Meeting Is Called to Formu-
late Plans to Fight Increase
in Ignite Rate
RNOR OPPOSED
Declares That Rate Increase
Would Seriously Handicap
The Industry
GOV RNOR OPPOSED

Coal operators of North Dakota
win meet in Bismarck Wednesday
evening to plan joint action with
state officials in opposing the estab-
lishment of the proposed Ignite tar
iff, at hearings to be held by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the State Commission.
Governor Opposed.
There is no warrant for an in
crease in the, Ignite coal freight
rates to North Dakota operators,
Governor. r. A. Ncstos declared in
statement.
If granted, the result would be to
compel most of the mines of this
state to close and to leave us largely
at the mercy Of the bituminous coal
operators of the east" the Governor
said. ut seems to me that this is
move on the part of the railroads
in the interest of the bituminous
coal operators and the Duluth and
Superior dock companies who han
die eastern coal. Wniie they were
mighty glad last year when' there
was coal shortage,i to have our
Ignite coal supply to. resort to, now
when there is no fuel shortage they
proposed such an increase in freight
rates as will most assuredly retard,
if not wholly destroy, the develop
ment of the Ignite industry and
therefore the Industrial progress OF
western North Dakota. 1t seems to
me that this is short-sighted pol
icy on the part of the roads that
serve this territory and who should
be interested in the continued de-
velopment of all the natural re-
sources of this state. Their action
in thus seeking to retard the devel-
opment of western North Dakota, l
am sure, will prove as poor a. policy
as the ancient one of killing the
goose that laid the golden egg"
The Governor Saturday 1fled a
remonstrance with the, Interstate
Commerce, Commission against the
proposed increase and ask suspen-
sion of the new tariffs until an in
vestigation could be made. The
proposed increase and asked suspen-
this with personal appearance be-
fore the Washington body.

Saturday. Mr.. Simpson is firm be-
lever in diversified farming and the
raising Of good stock. He has some
pure bred hogs and cattle that are

within about 100 yards from the end

will yield sbout IL bushels to the
row. Figuring 4 and one-half rows
to the acre 1t would make Weld OF

MELLON WOULD
SLASH TAXES
ON JANUARY 1
Secretary of Treasury Says
$3OO,OOO,OOO Can BE Cut
OFF The Tax Bill
CONTINGENT ON BONUS
Secretary Declares That Rec
Ommcnda tiOns Arc COnting.
cnt on its Non-Passage

Washington. Nov. 12.-Federal tax
revision under u program applying
reductions to the entire range OF
personal incomes and estimated to
cut the nations tax bill next year
by s323,OOO,OO0 will be recommended
to congress by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon.
Outlining his proposed program in
letter to Acting Chairman Green
of the house ways and means COM
mittee, published today, Secretary
Mellon declared that contingent on
the non-passage of soldier bonus
bill there should be for this year
and for the next four or five years
a revenue surplus above ordinary
budget expenditures including the
fixed debt charges of something
more than $300,OO0,O00. This, nc
said, is a reasonable margin for tax
revision and reduction.
A soldier bonus measure, the Sec
retary asserted, not only would post
pone tax reduction "for many years to
come" but would mean an increase
rather than a decrease in taxes. The
treasury, he said, adhercs to the
theory that the country would pre-
fer substantial reduction of taxa
tion to the increased tax that would
necessarily follow from q soldier
bonus"
In the tax revision which he sup-
gested be made effective next Jan
uary l., Mr.. Mellon recommended
that taxes on earned incomes be re-
duced 25 per cent and the rate of
normal taxes on incomes from 4 per
cent to 8 per cent to per cent anr
per cent respectively. He proposed
that the surtax rate be reduced by
commencing application at $4,000
instead of $4,000 and scaling them
progressively upward to 25 per cent
on incomes OF 100000.

conference with former Emperor
William.
London. Nov. 12.-The return of
Frederick William to Germany has
caused much speculation whether
more in behind the incident than
would be implied by consideration
of his personal insignificance. Some
commentators argue that his per-
sonality has Little to do with the
situation. The Morning Post says
he is neither a heroic or honorable
figure but that history shows a small
person is sometimes used to launch
great enterprise and that it is
impossible to disassociate him with
the outbreak in Munich.
The Daily Chronicle thinks that
his presence in Germany must i'm
mediately create focusing point
for monarchistic plots.
The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic
expert says that Chancellor Strese-
mann engineered the return of Fred
erick William, Stresemann persuad-
ed his colleagues that the safety of
the present regime is the Reichs lay
in splitting the ranks of the mon
archists. William in Silesia, would
neutralize the effect Of Rupprecht
in Bavaria.
Berlin, Nov. 12.-Speaking at
Halle yesterday Chancellor Stres-
omann said the return of the
crown prince whom he character
ICES as ''rrct the worst of Germans"
to his German home could not be
refused. The decision in this case
was purely question of Internal
policy and one which tie German
people would not allow to be taken
from their hands. -
Referring TO The Munich revolt
the chancellor said Germany woh)tl
have had to suffer long time Tor
the damage which woud have re-
suNod had HITLER become arbiter
of Germany's rate. The chancel-
lor, remarked that the behavior of
Gen. Lundendorff in the affair was
highly regrettable.

ASSEMBLY PASSES
NEW TAX MEASURE
Compromise of Blaine and Dahl Rush
ed Through This Afternoon With
Thirteen Voting 'No."
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.


Madison, Wis. - The assembly this
afternoon finally passed the Dahl gen
eral income tax bill 6S to 10, and then
under suspension of rules messaged
the measure to the senate.
There was no debate preceding pas
sage Of the amended tax bill upon
which agreement had been reached by
Speaker John L. Dahl and Governor
Blaine. A motion to indefinitely post
pone the proposal was killed 81 to II.
The LaFollette progressive forces
in the lower house were lined up SOL
idly behind this general income tax
bill which would raise $14,000,000 an
nually from incomes. 1t proposes to
establish income tax rates on indivd-
uals ranging from one per cent on
the first txable $1,000 to ten per cent
On earnings over $4,000. Corporal
tions earnings would be taxed approx
imately as at present, with partial tax
alton of stock dividends.
The fight on taxation will again CEN
ter in the senate now that the Dahl
bill has been sent to that house where
the lines are closely drawn on the
revenue issue. Five income tax bills
have been indefinitely postponed by
the senate, due to divisions within the
progressive ranks.
The following voted no when the
bill was given final passage:
Engel, Hinkley, Jung, Kamke, Laffey,
Lawson, Lindahl, Matheson, Moseley,
w. G. Nelson Perry Prescott, Tim
norman.
