Murder Charges

ing held in Jail at Nashville, Ill.,.
while Mrs. Elsie Sweetin was Il
prisoner at Salem, Ill. Both were

F. A. Vogel, LaFollette manager in
a statement yesterday, said: "Con-
trary to the statements the LaFol-

never refused to remove the So
called LaFollette electors from the
Republican column.
"In the negotiations thus far con-
Quoted the LaFollette committee
agreed to take the matter of re-

the LaFollette electors were placed
in the individual column with the

TWO BANKS
ARE RE0PENED
Crosby Banks Had Deposits
of Over $35O,OOO

Two banks with combined depo-
sits of $685., 500 shortly before they
were placed on special trust agree
ment by the state banking board
reopened, according to informa-
tion received at the office of State
Examiner Gilbert Semingson. The
two banks-the Security State of
Crosby an dthe First State Bank
of Crosby-had combined capt.
tai stock of $4,000 at the time
of their suspension.
Much satisfaction was express
ed by the state banking depart
ment today over the ability of
these two banks to reopen after
reorganization. The Security
State had a capitalization of $780,
600 and deposits of $199, 900 while
the First State had capitaliza-
tion of $4,000 and deposits of
$136, 500. Both closed late in 1923.

SENATOR EDGE
IS WIN n IN
JERSEY FIGHT
RenOminated United States
Senator as Candidate of
Liberal Element
MEANS FIGHT IN NOV.
Another Woman Congressman
May Have Been Chosen
In the Primary

Newark, N. j., Sept. 24.-United
States Senator Walter Edge de-
cisively defeated Hamilton Kean,
national committeeman, for the Re-
publican nomination for United
States Senator in yesterdays pri-
mary, leading his opponent by 47,162
votes when returns from 2,172 out
of 1859 election precincts were tab
ulated. The vote was: Edge 1913, ,791;
Kean, 146,629.
The lead of Senator Edge passed
the $4,000 mark on later returns.
With all but 256 of the 1859 pre-
cincts reported, Edge had 2O9,O6l
and Kean 156,923.
Senator Edges victory was gen.
orally considered today as victory
for the so-called liberal element.
kean was supported by the anti
saloon league. The fight was a
bitter one, with the prohibition
question as perhaps the foremost
issue.
Edges supporters had openly de-
clared that Kean had the general
following of the Ku Klux Klan.
kean, however, had never admitted
that this was true.
Senator Edge was also opposed by
the National Nonpartisan Campaign
Committee of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. Kean had frequently
asserted in the campaign that Edge
had failed to stand by president
Coolidge and that change of party
control was necessary.
Senator Edge, however, asserted
Coolidge and criticized his opponent
for the sort of campaign which he
asserted Kean adherents waged.
Senator Edges victory will mark
the beginning Of another hard fight
to be decided in the election in
November, it was admitted today.
Rev. DR.. James X. Shields, former
of the state anti
saloon league, will be an indepen-
dent candidate for Senator in ad-
dition to Mayor w. F. W. Donnelly
of Trenton, Democrat, and George
l.. Record, Jersey City independent
and adherent of Senator
The first woman to
enter Congress from New Jersey
may have appeared in Mrs. Mary E.
Norton vice chairman of the state
Democratic committee, who was un-
opposed for the nomination in
district which is normally Demo
cratic.

JOHN W. DAVIS
STRIKES BACK
AT DAUGHERTY
Declares Honest Officials First
Requisite for Upholding
Constitution
TAKES HIM TO TASK
Repeats Allegations Against
Former Attorney-General's
Conduct in Office

New York, Sept. 24.-(By the A.
PO-Having served notice that there
is to be no obscuring of the issue
that the American people shall be
aroused to condemn and not to con-
done the betrayal of official trusts,
John w. Davis, prepared today to re-
turn to the stump determined to hit
out harder than ever on the subject
of corruption in government"
The notice from the Democratic
presidential nominee was contained
in letter written yesterday to
Harry M. Daugherty, in reply to one
in which the former Attorney-Gener-
al protested against what he charac-
terized as the usually vague and all
the more reprehenslble references
which Mr.. Davis had made during the
campaign to his official conduct"
Agreeing with Mr.. Daugherty that
there is "something more important
in this year of grace than election
to office or political success" Mr..
Davis said the issue of honesty Of
public officials could not be becioud-
ed "by our efforts to represent the
real contest of this campaign as one
between the defenders of the Consti-
tuition and those who seek to over
throw it "under leaders fresh from a
baptism of Bolshevism in lurid and
suffering Russia"
"If the Constitution is to endure"
Mr.. Davis wrote, "the first requisite
is that men who hold office under it
shall be honest and faithful to their
trust. Its real enemies are not the
reGs and Bolshcvists of whom ron
speak whose shadow sighted you but
corrupt and impotent public offlclals
and their associates"
Asserting that instead of being
quite veiled," his allusions in the
to Mr.. Daugherty had been
"both direct and specific Mr.
Davis declared that he found no
warrant, whatever, for Withdrawing
single one of them. !
In connection with the indictment
of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, Mr.. Davis assailed both
the Department of Justice and the
national committee in
with sending their agents
to Montana. He added that "the
significant thing was that no effort
to find an indictment had been made
until the Senator had assumed a
leading part" in the criticism of the
administration and Of yourself"

N. D. CLAIM TO
VETS HOSPITAL
TO BE NEEDED
State Commander of Amer
lean Legion Reports on
Talk with General Hines
IN ONE OF 4 STATES
Many kilograms Received BY
Gen. Hines From North
Dakota For Hospital

Minot, N. D., Sept. 24.-While no
definite statement was forthcoming
as to the state in which a proposed
new $3,00O,0O0 government hospital
for disabled veterans will be located,
assurance was given that North Da-
kota of four middlewestern states
will be given due nsideration for
the institution. A. b. Carlson of
Minot, commander of the North Da-
kota department of the American Le-
gion, said today following his return
on Sunday from St. Paul, where he
attended the American Legion con-
vention and conferred with Brigadier
General Hines, head of the United
States Veterans bureau.
1t is certain, according to Mr.. Carl
son, that the hospital, for which con-
gress is expected to make appropria-
tion in the near future, will be locat-
ed in either North Dakota, Minneso-
ia, South Dakota or Montana. The
institution would serve these four
states.
Mr.. Carlson. in making North Da-
kota's representations to Brigadier
General Hines, was assisted by State
Adjutant Jack Williams of Fargo,
who called the attention of the Ve-
terans Bureau head to the fact that
North Dakota had more casualties in
proportion to the number of men in
action than any other state. Conse-
quently, the American Legion Off
cials argued, the hospital should be
located in the state-a common
wealth in which the government
does not own single hospital bed
for the care of disabled veterans.
John P. Conmy of Fargo, advance of
the $40 and 8" organization, also ap-
peared before Brigadier General
Hines on behalf of this state.
When Brigadier General Hines ar
rived in St. Paul, he received APP
proximately $50 kilograms from var
ious North Dakota American Legion
posts, urging upon him the necessity
of locating the hospital in this state.
These kilograms had been sent at the
suggestion of the state department,
and apparently were very effective,
according to Mr.. Carlson.
The necessity of each state in the
district eligible for the location of a
hospital to work as unit in an en-
deavor to secure the institution, was
emphasized by Brigadier General
Hines, according to Mr.. Carlson.
Once the state is definitely chosen.
Brigadier Hines pointed out, various
cities in the state can then advance
their claims to a committee which
will visit the selected state. The Vet
erans Bureau official urged however,
according to Mr.. Carlson, that not
too many cities advance claims for
the institution, thereby complicating
the situation.

Town Criers Hosts
To Mott Citizens

New England, Sept. 24.-About
twenty-five citizens of Mott were
guests of the New England Town
Criers club, at their regular meeting
held Wednesday evening, in the
Brown hotel at Mott. The purpose
Of the meeting was to arouse a keen
er interest in the project of securing
a county agricultural agent for Het-
finger county. Petitions are being
which favor the project.
Charles Eastgate of Slope county will
receive the position as Hettinger's
county agent if the proposition is
voted on fsvorably this fall.

Subsequent articles will discuss
the payments made Mr.. Atkinson
from Burleigh county and the city
of Bismarck.
These articles are published to
show that the taxpayers of Bismarck
in reality are assisting in the pro-
motion of Mr.. Atkinson's engineering
business through affording him free
office rent and office expenses wholly
out Of proportion to the amount Of
strictly engineering business neces-
sary in city the size of Bismarck.
1t is hoped that these articles will
convince the city commission and the
citizens of Bismarck that an engineer
under the complete control of the
city commission would be a most
wise and economical arrangement.

PUT LEMKE IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR
CHARGES CONTEMPORARIES IN ELECTOR FIGHT
PERSONAL INSPECTION NORTH. EAST
OF HERE SHOWS MOST CORN IS SAFE

Confirmation of reports of assur-
rance of an excellent corn crop in this
section of North Dakota was brought
to Bismarck today by o. W. Roberts,
weather and crop observer, after a
4OO-mile automobile trip north and
east Of Bismarck.
Mr.. Roberts, driving 400 miles
since Saturday, was in hundred
corn fields, he said, and'he saw but
two which showed serious damage
from frost. They are in Mclean
county. On his trip he visited the
Ft. Berthold reservation, Max, Gar
rison, Turtle Lake, Goodrich, Hurds-
field, Tuttle and Steele.
"Corn, l believe, is just as good
in quality and will equal the yield
of last year, in this territory Mr.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-09-24

Roberts said. II believe practically
all the corn will mature-I should
say 80 percent of the corn in the
section l visited is out of danger.
Of course, some corn was planted
for fodder and the farmers do not
expect it to mature"
Mr.. Roberts found intense inter-
est in eorn-more than in wheat.
Farmers and business men in all
towns were asking about the corn
crop. Reports to the weather bu-
reau would indicate that IS to 30
percent Of all corn in North Dakota
is safe from frost. Mr.. Roberts be-
lieves that practically all flint corn
is safe, although this is not entirely
true of dents. He was Inadvertently
quoted yesterday as saying all dents
were safe.

MORE POWER TO
TAX FOR STATE
INDUSTRY, NEED
Change in Constitution or
Increase in Values Neces.
sity of Future
RIGHT UP TO LIMIT
Doubtful If Four Mill Limit
For. State Purposes Will
Suffice Needs

Further complications in the
state government, which may
necessitate a change in the Con-
stitution in the near future, is
seen in the situation to be faced
by the state board of equalization
in levying sufficient taxes this
fall to provide payment of inter-
est on bonds of the state indus
trial fund and to build up a sink
ing fund to retire the bonds matur-
ing in the next five years.
An examination of records here
recently disclosed the likelihood of
the state beard of equalization be-
ing forced to levy approximately
81 100000 to meet the state bond
interest and for sinking funds on
bonds issued for the state mill and
elevator, the Bank Of North Da-
kota and for real estate loans.
Further investigation discloses
that the Section liza Of the Con-
stitution of North Dakota limits
the amount of the state tax levy
for expenses of the state each year
to four mills. 1t is question
whether or not a levy of four mills
will realize sufficient funds to
meet the ordinary expenses of the
state, the soldiers bonus and the
million dollars required for the
state industrial program. With
other industrial program bond is
sues coming due in the next few
years, the probability is, in the
the opinion of state officials, that
the amount cf taxes necessary to
pay the expenses of the indus
trial program will increase. The
situation, it is held, may necessi-
tate a change in the state consti-
tuition permitting state tax levy
greater than four mills.
Another method of reaching the
situation would be to increase the
valuation of property for taxation
in the state, so that a small mill
levy would yield a large sum. The
tendency in the last few years
of the state board of equalization
and the legislature has been to
reduce the valuation of property
for taxation. Especially heavy
cuts in the valuation of farm lands
have been made. The total valu-
alton of taxable property for the
last five years follows:

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-09-24

Arguments for a lower valua-
tion for taxation have been made
on the grounds of general lower
ing of values since the war, and
also on the ground that if the val
uation is lowered, not only the
state, but the county and all SUBJ
divisions are restricted in the levy
ing of taxes. A high valuation, it
is asserted, makes for high taxes.
However, with the expenses of the
Industrial program mounting, it
is considered here that either a
higher valuation must be adopted
or the Constitution must be chang
ed to permit a higher mill levy.
