ed to Force Change For
1928 Nomination
CONSIDERED

Chicago, July II. (By the A. P.)
Concerted action by members of
the Democratic national committee
from a number of western and
southern states in an endeavor to
make the unit rule and the two
thirds majority imperative in fu-
ture conventions has advanced to
the stage of formal interchange of
views on the subject, member of
the committee revealed.
A committee member from one
western state had prepared formal
on the subject for sub
mission to the proposed meeting OF
the national committee at Clarks-
burg, West Virginia, in August.
Under this resolution the COM
mittee would declare both rules con-
trary to the Democratic principles
and recommend to all state bodies
that plans for the convention of
1928 and thereafter be calculated on
the basis of majority rule and with
every delegate free, so far as bind
ing party rules are concerned, to
vote his own preference.
More than fourth of the COM
mittee members have given assent
to the proposition since the national
convention adjourned week ago,
a leader in the move said today.
Additional members have been
sounded on the question and have
promised to- assist in bringing the
resolution before the full commit
tee.

AID MEN HEAR
HOW CANADA
WAS BOOSTED
Advertising Played Important
Part in Building Up of
The Country
HUGE EXPENDITURES
Many Times Repaid, Says
Executive of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad

London, July II "a. P.)-lndicat-
ing how advertisers had fostered
the growth of Canada, f. A. Beatty,
head of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company. told the convention
of Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World today that since 1881 his
road had spent $67.0O0.OOO on col
onization: in contrast to $4,000, 900
expended by the Canadian govern
ment.
These figures, he explained, in
cluded more than what might
strictly be termed advertising, the
colonization efforts having been
directed at rather different types
of settlers. The Canadian Pacific
was particularly interested in gett-
ing settlers for the lands it has to
sell, he said, while the Canadian
government directed its efforts more
to securing settlers for it's free
homesteads of 160 acres each.
Traces Part
Tracing the part played by ad-
vertising in the building of Canada,
which began with the Jesuit mis-
sionaries in the days Of the French
dominion, Mr.. Beatty said it was
not until the Canadian Pacific ap-
peared on the scene that an aggres-
sive, consistent and comprehensive
advertising campaign for the colon
ization of Canada was planned and
directed from Canada itself. In the
last 40 years campaign of invi-
tstion and welcome has been con-
Quoted, he asserted, in which the
Canadian Pacific gave the example
and set the pace.
Canada's snow and hard winters
are among its greatest assets, Mr.
Beatty declared. "Without that
winter we should not be able to
grow the hard wheat on which so
much of the prosperity of the
Canadian west depends, and which
every miller in the United States de-
sires for his choicest flour. With
out that winter we should not have
the fur-bearing animals and the
fur trade which for 800 years has
been one of Canada's basic indus
tries. Without that winter we could
not haul so economically as we dc
the products of our forests to our
lumber and pulp mills. And last
but not least, without that winter
we could not have the virile, sturdy
manhood which the whole world

CAMPAIGN TO

Initiative Measure Cutting

CIRCULATE PETITIONS
Effort to be Made to Get 1O,-
600 Signatures by the
First of August

The State Tax Payers Associa-
tion will renew it's campaign for
an initiated law proposing 25
percent cut in taxes ir the state in
the levies for 1923, with exceptions,
it is announced by Dan R. Jones,
Wahpeton. secretary. Petitions
were received. in Bismarck today.
Ten thousand signatures must
be obtained by August 1, 1924, to
put the measure on the ballot in
the November election, according
to statement by Mr.. Jones. In
his statement he says:
HThe Association held a meeting
at Fargo on June 9th and 28th,
1924. It was the opinion of the
members that taxes, in many COM
munities, have become confisca-
tory. That taxes were taking all
the revenue derived from real prop
erty and by taking all revenue pro-
duced the result is the confiscation
of capital invested in land and
other property.
"Men with money refuse to in
vest in, our State fearing that
North Dakota will deprive them
Of their property through high tax
es. In order to restore the fair
name, fame and credit of the State,
the Association has drafted bill
lowering taxes 25 percent from
the levies of 1928, but in no in
stance are communities compelled
to lower levies under that of 1918
and by majority vote Of the elect
CTS Of any taxing district the levy
can be made 80 percent of 1928.
''The cut in taxes does not effect
taxes levied for special improve
ments, interest on bonds, sinking
funds, fixed levies etc. The cut is
very moderate but it does assure
those who wish TO invest that. our
taxes will not be higher; that we
are actually moving toward lower
taxes"

RAT TPR0BLEM
BEFORE MIN0T'
State Aid May Be Appealed
For in Fighting Them

Minot, N. D.. July 17.-Minot's rat
problem got before the city COM
mission again when Will J. O'Rourke,
secretary of the Minot Elks lodge,
told the body yesterday that unless
some cooperation was extended by
the city within short time that
he would be forced to take the mat
ter up with the state board of
health.
Recalling Minot's experience with
the sewage disposal plant which
was constructed after the state
board Of health issued specific
orders that failure to act would re-
suit in the state stepping in, it is
not out of the realm of possibility
that the state health department
would take command in fighting
rats, were formal complaint made
Mr.. O'Rourke called attention to
the fact that one institution is
helpless in fighting the rat pest;
that only by concerted citywide
activity can rats be eliminated.
Mayor w. M. Smart informed Mr.
O'Rourke that 200 pounds of ra,
poison had been ordered and that
the rats of the city were due for
fatal lunch very shortly.

Argenteuil, France, July II. (By the

won the Olympic regatta champion
ship today when the eight-oared crew
swept to brilliant victory by 1-2
lengths over Canada, with Italy third
and with Great Britain. expected
to give the Americans the hardest
fight, fourth and last. Rowing with
the same power and precision they
had shown in their sensational vic
tories in the United States, the Yale
oarsmen, after slow start, took
lead from the Italian crew and
raced their rivals out of sight over
the last three quarters of the dis
tance to lower their own record
for the 1000 meter course to 6 min
utes l33 2-5 seconds in spite of the
brisk wind.
Italy gave the Americans their
closest competition most of the way
but the Toronto University crew, re-
presenting Canada, flashed a closing
squirt to take second place. The
Canadians, however, were unable to
gain on the flying leaders who swept
across the finish line amid wild
ly enthusiastic ovation in which the
frenzied yells of Eli men and friends
were uppermost.
The 10 points earned by the
triumph of the Yale crew were just
enough to give the United States
victory in the rowing competition by
one. point over the gallant Swiss
competitors. The point score at the
end of the day was United States
33; Switzerland 80; Great Britain 81;
France 2l; Holland IL; Italy IL;
Canada 10; Australia three and Brazil
