Washington. May 16.-Secretary
Hoover, in a formal statement today,
declared the provisions of the new
tax bill opening tax returns for in
spection, will jeapoardize small bus
fness and place it at the mercy OF
large competitors.
The secretary recalled that pub
licity of tax returns during the per-
iod of 1867 to 1872 contributed to
"the industrial and financial chaos
of the time" and charged that the
provision of the new tax bill opens
new fields for fraudulent concerns.

RAILSTRIKES
Bill Calls for Receivership in
Such Case

Washington, May 16.-A railroad
strike or lockout, threatening a
transportation emergency, would re-
suit Immediately in suits by the
government to throw roads into re-
ceivership under an amendment to
the Howell Barkley bill as approved
today by Senate subcommittee.
The. bill itself, which provides for
abolition of the railroad labor board
and substitution of Il system of ad-
justment tribunals by which both
the roads and their employees will be
represented, then was reported IA
vorably by the Subcommittee. to the
full Interstate Commerce Committee.
A similar plan is to come up in the
House early next week.

Like a fleet in wartime will try
to bottle up the opposition. so they
can only come out of narbOr the
way the opposing fleet wants them to
come out-thats the Mandan pro-
position. Of course, the residents of
the territory south of Mandan who
\ want to be able to come to Bismarck,
many miles out of their way if the
Mandan proposition went through
and they had to go into Mandan's
back door Mandan-that is, few
citizens whom Bismarck men believe
are short lighted citizens-don't
seem to worry about causing the
people to go out of their way.
Hold Luncheon
The, board of directors of the Bis
marck Association of Commerce met
f. o. Hathaway, federal highway en-
gineer of st. Paul, at luncheon to-
day. He intimated that he was sent
out to investigate and report back
to the chief of the. u. S. Bureau of
Roads, but expressed no opinion
himself. At the conclusion of the
luncheon, the Bismarck men drove
over the new road west of the river.
This afternoon the directors and
Mr.. Hathaway were to meet fepre
sentatives of the Ft. Yates and st.
Anthony territories, who are opposed
to the Mandan plan, and discuss the
situation.
The Situation
The situation is this: Ft. Yates
and large territory west of the
Missouri is really east of Bismarck.
Few people realize this until they
look at the map. A large number of
citizens southeast of Mandan now
come up a road which touches a
point but 10 miles from the Miss
ouri river bridge. A road across
this 10 miles would give them the
opportunity of going on into Mandan
over a good road or coming on into
Bismarck. Fair enough, apparently.
But Marian proposes to change
this. They propose highway south
from the west side of Mandan co
make the people Of the district come
lHLO MduudH INcC way, anu IL SuVy
come to Bismarck to travel clear
through Mandan to get here. And,
local citizens in touch with the sit
uation say, they would have to travel
10 miles or SO out Of their way to do
this.
A number of Bismarck citizens,
sensing the situation and finding
lot of friends across the river who
wanted chance to use the new
bridge without going out Of their
way, subscribed some money and
built bridge across the Heart Riv-'
er. Land was decided. There now is
a road across the 10 miles which
permits the people to come to Bis
marck if they so desire. Alarmed by
this a number of Mandan residents
proposed to change the road and
render this method of ingress to
Bismarck virtually useless.
Are They Short Sighted?
But are the Mandan citizens short
