CONGRESS ON SLOW SCHEDULE


 Congress having achieved noth- ing of importance at this session except the tax reduction bill and the World Court protocol, its mem bers are q little alarmed over the possibility of adjournment without acting upon certain other import ant matters upon which action was expected.
 Whether the World Court proto- col is to be regarded as an achieve ment depends upon the point Of view: in view of the fact that some senators are now fearful of public opinion In their bailiwicks, due to the unexpected opposition aroused by the Borah and Reed clans. a measure Of doubt has stricken the congressional mind, But what is done is finished, reason the ner- vous senators, and more will be known about the effects next November.
 The most important unfinished business is agricultural relief, and to say delay and neglect is like smoking a cigaret in dynamite factory is a fair description Of the political consequences. Congress- man Tincher of Kansas is author of the farm credit plan which would appropriate $1Oo,0Oo,oOo for loans to farmers cooperative associa- tons. This Is the administration measure sponsored by Secretary Jardine. Congressman Haugen of Iowa is author of the bill which would appropriate $375, 100000 to stabilize agricultural prices. So far the bills have gone no further than from committee consideration to the floor Of the House; how they could gain adequate consideration In the House and Senate before adjourn ment Is hard to fathom. It appears possible that Congress will adjourn without action on farm relief. Re publican leaders are said to be busy weighing which Is worse from a political standpoint--to take no action at this session of Congress or pass a compromise bill which Is certain to be unsatisfactory.
 The Watson-Parker railroad bill, which would do away with the rail- road labor board, Is favored by the railroads and the brotherhoods, but Congress is very slow about tinker ing with the present transportation act.
 Muscle Shoals legislation like wise is drifting slowly. The commit tee report, just made, suggests it be leased to power companies; but it is likely that another session will pass into oblivion before anything def ;nt+a is dore ohout f.
 Then there Is the plan to return alien property sequestered during the war, and the supplementary plan to pay the claims of Americans who lost property during the con- flict, as detailed In the Mills bill. This is regarded as an important matter whcih should have been looked after long ago. But the bill got roundly attacked at the begin ming and now there must be an- other little investigation before con- gressmon know enough about It's details to vote intcllgently The voting probably will not take place this year.
 The session Is to be another typi- cal affair, of doing little and talking much, with a jam of bills at the close. Some of them will be passed in a hurry-jokcrs and all-whilc others will fail to get through the hopper. As usual the majority, in cluding many of prime administra- ton importance, will be held over,

Bismarck will be the first city in
the state in which thes registration
law will be generally enforced this
year, warning having been issued by
city authorities that auto owners
must have new licenses by Febru
ary Is to avoid arrest. people liv-
ing in the capital city are nearer to
the registration department and pos
sibly have less excuse than those
living further away for not obtaining
license" Ingstad said.
Half the Cars Listed
"More than half of the total num-
ber of automobiles in the state have
been registered and the flood of ap-
plications is continuing. Collections
by the department total about $4,000
day.
The North Dakota law provides
that everyone who has no license on
January is liabla to arrest for a
failure to observe the law. Since
the department was not ready to is
sue licenses until that date, however,
it was obviously unfair to enforce
the law to the letter, Ingstad said. As
the result Of the law the registrars
office has set no date ~ the time
limit for obtaining 1icenseA When
a reasonable time has been given i'm
spectors will be sent out to arrest
those who have not complied with

Citizens of the State Are
Urged to Cooperate in a
Campaign to Eradicate a
Disease in Wheat Which
Threatens to Destroy Posi-.
tiOn in World Market

Realizing that North Dak0ta's po-
sition in the world of wheat produc!
tion is threatened because farmers
have become careless in properly
treating seed wheat against smut.
Governor A. g. Sorlic has proclaim
cd the week Of February q to 27
as "Smut Eradication Week." and
urges all citizens To cooperate in a
campaign to eradicate smut in wheat.
The proclamation follows:
"For many years North Dakota has
been the leading state Of the Union
in quantity production of high
quality wheat. North Dakota is
known for the excellent quality of
its wheat sin every nation where
bread is used as food.
because we have become negligent
in the proper care Of our seed wheat
our position in the world Of wheat
production is threatened. The Grain
Investigation Office Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
finds that approximately one-fifth Of
the cars of wheat shipped to the ter
minal markets carry from five to
twenty-five per cent smut Author
tiles estimate that the reduction in
price averages ten cents per bushel,
making a total loss to our grain
growers on the years crop of over
one and quarter million dollars.
This condition is alarming when we
consider that, unless farmers gen.
orally adopt effective methods of
eradicating smut spores in the seed
grain, the percentage of infection
will be much greater in this years
crop.
"Therefore. /, A. G. Sorlie, Gov
crnor. urge all grain growers to take
special care in the prevention Of
smut in seed grain and to- plant only
seed that has been properly treated.
81 request that ali dealers in cop
per carbonate and formaldehyde
make a special effort to lay in stocks
of these chemicals and make them
available to the grain grower at rea-
sonable prices. y
81 call upon all farmers and busi-
ness organizations to assist in a
campaign to eradicate smut from our
seed grain.
ITO this end do hereby proclaim
that the week from February 21 to
"a be set aside as Smut Eradication
Week, during which time ! urge all
citizens Of the State to cooperate IN
campaign to eradicate this disease
in our wheat which threatens to de-
stroy our position on the world
wheat market.
I'm WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have
hereunto set my hand and caused TO-
be affixed the Seal Of the State Of
North Dakota. Done at Bismarck.

CAUSED DEATH.
OF PRISONER.
John Thelander Died Shortly
After Being Brought
From Devils Lake
HE WAS SICK EN- ROUTE
Effort Will BE Made to De.
termine How Man Obtain
ed Poison, Shafer Says

Investigation into the death Of
John Thelander, prisoner at the state
penitentiary here, six days after his
arrival here from Devils Lake, dis
closed the fact that he died Of ar
senic poisoning, Warden John J. Lee
has reported to the state board Of
administration.
As soon as q transcript of the
testimony taken at the coroner's in
quest is available the matter will be
taken up with Devils Lake authori-
ties to ascertain if the manner in
which Thelander obtained the poison
can be determined and If prosecu-
tion is advisable, Attorney General
George +. Shafer said.
Under the state law, Shafer said.
persons who assist another to commit
suicide are guilty of a felony.
In his report to the board Warden
Lee said that Thelander, who was
sentenced on bigamy charge, was
sick on his arrival at the penitentiary
on January l8 and died January "a.
Thelander was sick when he left
Devils Lake, Lee said he was told,
and during the trip here was forced
to leave the motor bus several times
because Of bad vomiting spells.
Arsenic Caused Death
An autopsy failed to reveal the
cause Of death and Thelander's stom-
ach was sent to the state university
for analysis. Report OF tho state
chemists showed he died from ar
senic poisoning.
1.-The transportation officer reports
that he had the man handcuffed all
the way from Devils Lake to the PEN
itentiary and when Mr.. Thelander
was received at this institution he
was thoroughly searched and nothing
was found on him." Lees report said.
ION account of his condition when
leaving the Ramsey county GAIL he
must have obtained the poison prior
to leaving the Jail.

Mr.. Thclandcr was convicted Of
bigamy and given five-year SEN
tence. 1t is reported that he had five
wives and reply to the letter we
addressed to the sheriff states that
