New Coin To Be lIinted

Admitting failure to popu-

new coin, a combination gold

the rapid deterioration of pa

The proposed new coin will
be of distinctive appearance,

slightly larger than a quarter.

Connecticut will be the Republican
floor leader.
The present majority leader was
selected by Republican members-elect
of the house, in IA caucus last night,
as their candidate for speaker on
the first ballot by vote of lao to
85. As the caucus decision binds
the majority members to vote for
the candidates when the house or
ganizes and the Republicans have a
clear-cut majority, his election to
the speakership is certain. The
choice of Mr.. Tilson was made by
acclammation.
Although a move, quickly squelch-
ed by opposition, was made to per
init participation in the caucus of
two of the dozen followers of SEN
ator LaFollette who were excluded

was made to restore them to good
standing in party councils.

Washington. Feb. 28.-With CO.

commended by the agricultural con-
ference enmeshed in jam of con
flicting proposals before congress
President Coolidge renewed his in
sistence that the conference program
should be enacted into law at this
session. He regards as necessary
and sound the proposals. which were
drafted by the representatives Of all
branches of agriculture with expert
assistance.
The Dickinson cooperative mar
keting bill, lacking the regulatory
provisions carried in the Capper-
Haugen measure for which it was
substituted by the house, is before
the senate agriculture COMMITTEES
and Chairman Carey of the agricul-
tural conference has asked hearing
before it tomorrow in opposition to
the change.
Against Dickinson Bill
to hold the view that the Dickinson
measure would not accomplish the
results they believe can be obtained
through passage Of the Capper- Hau-
gen bill. Members of the senate farm
bloc expect to call up this measure
in the senate tomorrow.
The McNary bill, providing for a
farmers export corporation to handle
surplus farm products, has been re.
ported favorably by the senate agri-
culture committee and placed on the
calendar, but with little hope of fina
action at this session.

MORE COMPARISONS MADE BETWEEN TAX
DEBT OF BISMARCK WITH OTHER CITIES

$l0S ,653.OO to defray the costs Of the
city government for the ensuing fis-
ca. (not calendar) year. Dividing
the latter sum by the population,
this would make the per capita cost
Of the city government for 1924
amount to sa3.94 for every man, wo-
man and child, including charges for
interest and bonded debt and for
sinking fund requirements.
Not Absolutely Clear
1t is not absolutely clear from a
careful examination Of the figures
Of the census bureau whether it in
cludes these charges for sinking fund
and interest on debt in its computa-
tions. Therefore, to remove any
question of doubt and to place Bis
marck in the most favorable light,
we are inclined to exclude them from
J our statement of the per capita cost
for this city. Among the appropri-
ations made by the city commission
were various items for interest and

Editors Note: This is another
article dealing with Bismarck's
tax debt for the cnlight tcnment
Of the voters Of this city. All
facts have been carefully COM
piled from statistics.

Based on statistics supplied by
Uncle Sam, Bismarck's city govern
mcnt must be rated as above the
average in the cost per capita for
cities in it's class. In fact, most of
the CITIES many times larger have a
much lower per capita rate. This
will be clearly demonstrated later
on.
In previous articles it was shown
that according to the method employed
by census bureau, Bismarck in 1924
had population of 7,794 inhabitants
1t was also stated that the larger
the city the heavier should be its
