ment in the State. Says
State Commissioner
MORE WORK ON FARMS?

The most promising field for labor
in North Dako in 1925 appears to
be "the insistcnt demand in the state
for good highways" says Commits
sioncr of Agriculture and Labor J
A. Kitchen. in answering a query
of the United States Employment
Service.
"The State Highway Commission
has applications on hand for road
construction during 1925 for 800
miles of earth grading and 800 miles
OF road surfacing, to be gravel,
Mr.. Kitchen said.
1--WE are not aware of any large
building projects" he continued
crop and the better prices for prac-
tically all farm commodities, as
North Dakota is Il strictly agricul-
tural state, we feel there will be
considerable building throughout the
entire state in 1928. While nothing
definite has been proposed, we arc
convinced there will be considerable
work on farm buildings and improve
mcnts during the year.
"Thcrc probably will be about the
normal demand for farm labor
throughout the year. Naturally the
better prices on grains will act as
an incentive for farmers to seed
larger acrcagcs.
1--WE are Of the opinion the State
Legislature, to convene early in
January, 1925, will not be disposed
to grant large appropriations for In

Inference Drawn From Re.

Body Against Evacuation
GERMANY IN PROTEST
Refuse Burden Of Carrying
Out the Dawes Plan, if
Evacuation Is Delayed 4

Paris, Dec. 22.-(By the A. P)-
The chances of the Cologne area be-
ing evacuated by the allies January
10 under the provisions of the treaty
Of Versailles have been diminished
it is thought in French official cir.
clcs. by the regular semi-monthly re-
port of the allied military control
mission in Germany. This report.
which now is in the hands of the al
lied war committee, is understood to
confirm the special reports in their
charge that Germany was persisting
in armng. contrary to the peace
treaty provisions.
The pressure being brought to
bear by the German government
through Ambassador Won Moesch
will be unavailing. it is thought
here, in the face of the reported pos
tive violation Of Germany's agree
ment to disarm. The ambassador de-
clared to the political director of
the foreign office Saturday that if
the allies persisted in their intcn-
tion Of remaining in the Cologne
area. as forecast, they would be de-
pended upon to carry out the Dawes
plan.
Replies TO Germany
The political director, NJ. Laroche,
is understood to have replied that If
the intention of Germany to make its
agreement good under the Dawes
plan was so frail as to resist break
ing under the simple exercise Of the
allies OF the undoubted right con-
ferred by the treaty Of Versailles to
insist on fulfillment of the disarma-
ment clause Of the treaty then any
concessions the allies might make
would risk = encountering similar
reaction in the future.
An Allied Question
NJ. Laroche added that the evacua-
ton question was an alliod oDo, IN
which all the allies must have .
voice, and that it could be decided
only after consultation.
1t is understood that exchanges Of
views are actively in progress by tho
chancellOrics in Paris, London and
Rome, in anticipation of Wednes-
days meeting of the Council Of Am
bassadOrs. The final report of the
military control mission will come
too late for action prior to the date
fixed by the treaty for the evacua-
tion but it is believed in official cir
cles here that the semi-monthly re-
port gives a sufficiently clear idea
Of Germanys attitude to enable the
allies to decided whether they can
safely leave the Cologne bridgehead.

Railroads Win

their attack on the states method
OF assessing income tax for the year

of Appeals having upheld the fed

commissioner based the assessment
on intrastate income and a portion
Of the interstate receipts. About
$5O,00O was involved. The law which
was interpreted by the courts was
amended in the 1923 session of the

to tax on a portion of the interstate
business. according to state tax. Of
