BlSMARCK'S TAX RATE FOR 1925
SHOWS REDUCTION OF SIS MILLS
Taxpayers Will Pay $555 Less Per $1,000 of Taxable Vau
alton for 1925 Than for Previous Year-Rate N
Lower for Nearly Every Subdivision

Taxpayers living in the city Of Bis
Warck will pay $5.55 less per $1,000
OF taxable Naluation this year than
they did last, according to County
Auditor Frank Johnson, who has just
completed the work Of figuring the
tax rates for Burleigh county for
1925. Bismarck's tax rate for 1925
is 47.55 mills, whereas in 1924 it was
1910 mills.
The reduction in the tax rate in the
city is due principally to decided
increase in the assessed valuation Of
city property, since the tax levy is
approximately the same for both 1924
and 1925. The city's assessed valua-
tion for 1895, however, is $6,228, 8,644
as compared with S5.65O.65O for. 1924,
or an increase of $577,994.

Washington. Jan. 12-tR)--Dcfeat-
ed in committee. Democratic members
of the senate finance ccm~,i+t". will
carry their fight for $500, ,O00, 900 tax
reduction to the senate.
In the face Of the pending row
over the proposal to increase the to-
tai reduction provided by the $780,
100000 house bill, however, senate
leaders of both parties are preparing
to use every effort to pass the bill
before March Is, when first income
tax installments are due.
Vital rate reducing provisions of
the nOn-p partisan house measure were
approved yesterday by the committee
by unanimous votes in almost all in
stances except on the proposals of
Democrats to increase the reductions
in surtaxes and to repeal the admis-
sions and dues levics, which were de-
feated on straight party votes.
Would Repeal Capital Stock Tax.
The committee did accept the pro-
posal Of Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the
committee, for repeal Of the capital
stock tax. but the Republican major
ity voted to offset this $94,OOO,0OO an
nual reduction by an increase in the
corporation tax from II to Ii per
cent on taxes payable after next Jan
uary l.
After the committee had voted
down, 10 to Z, the Democrats pro-
posal to repeal the taxes on admis-
sions and dues, 1t approved an in
crease in the admission tax exemp-
tiOns from so to Is cents.
1t voted to offset this reduction Of
$9,OO0,OOO by restoring to the bill a
2 per cent tax on automobile trucks
which it was estimated would yield
$6,0O0,000 annually. The house had
voted to repeal the present pei
cent levy on trucks.
Cigar Tax Lowered.
Further reductions in the rates on
five. eight and Is cent class cigars
also. was voted by the committee
which approved the sweeping rcduc
tions and repeal Of excise and occu-
pational taxes provided by the house
measure, including the cut in the au-
/: t0m0bile passenger car tax and repeal
of the levy on automobile tires and
parts.
With most of the rate schedules
acted upon and the way apparently
cleared for completion Of the bill by
the end of this week, the house turned
from its work on the measure today
to hear Senator Couxens. Republican
of Michigan, chairman Of the special
committee which Investigated the in.

26 Democrats. Ia Republicans
and One Farmer.LabOrite
Decide Matter

Washington, Jan. 12.-AP
The senate voted today to
seat Gerald P. Nye as a scna-
tor from North Dakota.
His right to a seat in the
senate had been challenged on
the ground that the North
Dakota governor did not have
authority to fill senate vacan-
cies by appointment. This
challenge the senate upset by
a vote of al to 80.
The vote came after five
days discussion in which it
was charged that politics
dominated the decision be-
cause Nye was a progressive.
A majority of the senate
elections committee held that
Nye was not entitled to a seat,
but three members of the
committee filed a minority re-
port taking an opposite view.
Vote Brings Applause
The result of the vote today
brought scattering applause
from the gallery.
Twenty-six Democrats join
ed with IA Republicans and
one Farmer-Labor senator in
voting to give Governor Sor-
lies appointee his seat. Eight
Democrats and 81 Republi-
cans voted against it.
The new senator takes the
place Of the late Senator Ed
win F. Ladd.
Immediately after the vote was
announced, Senator Frazier of North
Dakota escorted Mr. Nye to the pres
ident's dais where he was admins

virtually deserted by its women mem

Six Men. One Woman Found.
At the farm, officers found six
men, including Garland, but only one
woman, Doris Benson. None Of the
cOlonists would reveal where the
other women had gone. Garland
readily accompanied the sheriff, and
after q hearing before magistrate,
furnished bond.
The 3unfavorablc publicity which
the colony has received since City
Solicitor Stuart recommended that a
charter be denied it on the ground
that its members did not believe in
marriage and practced free love. is
believed responsible for the flight Of
the women members. Garland has
denied that he believes or practices
free love. He terms the colony an
experiment in social science.

CONFERENCE ADJOURNS
WITHOUT A SETTLEMENT

New York. Jan. 12.--LP)-The an
thracite joint conference, which re-
sumed negotiations December 20,
adjourned today without reaching
settlement and without setting any
date for renewal Of negotiations.
The conference had been hopelessly
deadlocked over the principle of ar
bitration.
The operators insisted to the end
upon complete arbitration, while the
miners insisted that if they accept
any arbitration it should be only on
the basis Of increasing wages and
without any reduction.
The proposition presented by the
operators Yesterday, which they
termed the utmost coAcession" that
could be made, and which was re-
jected by the miners, clearly indicat-
ed that the negotiators had reached
the end Of their lab0rs. However,
so long as they remained in session
there was hope that q settlement
would be reached. but today's de-
velopments showed the hopelessness
of continuing.
Lewis Issues Statement
Immediately after the conference
broke up, John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, called
newspapermen and dictated this
statement:
"As predicted in my statement yes
terday made to, the conference the
operators were determined to break
up the conference without An agree
ment. After.a period of fruitless dis
cussion this morning the operators
moved an adjournment without de-
lay and demanded that the mine
workers second the motion. Gem
