B0LSHEV VISM
IS SPR READING G
THROUGH CHILE
New and Stronger Govern
ment Needed. War Minis
ter Ibanez Declares

Santiago, Chile. Feb. g. R) Wan
Minister Carlos lbaneZ. who forced a
cabinet change several months ago
has come out with the declaration
that new and stronger government
is necessary to combat the spread of
bOlshevism in Chile.
In a statement to the press, the
minister says he has already advised
the president to this effect. Inas-
much as he is supported by the army
and probably also the navy, it is
considered likely that his advice will
be followed.
The spread of bolshevsm, facilitat-
ed by a weak government. says the
minister's statement, has carried the
country to "deplorable extremes" and
it is necessary to form new adj
ministration composed of younger and
more enth husiastic men.
Must Break Red. Influence
1T is time,' he adds. ito break the
red influence Of Moscow He charges
the chamber Of deputies with openly
adhering to the communist cause, and
declares members of congress have
gone so far as to stump the country
in support Of that cause.
The communists, he asserts, have
organized secret societies throughout
the country which are engaged in
spreading propaganda seeking to in.
cite the workers to rebellion.
Extraordinary activity was notet
in military circles yesterday. Two
regiments were recalled to Valpa
raiso from a training camp and hello
in barracks. The younger officer.
in the navy are reported to be seek
ing change in the ministry Of mar
inc. now held by Vice Admiral Arturo

ARGUMENTS ON
SNUFF BILL TO
BE MADE TODAY
Temperance Advocates Ia
Fight Efforts to Legalize
Snuff Sales, With Tax

Arguments on the bill to legalizc
the sale of snuff in North Dakota
and to put state tax on all snuff
sales were scheduled for this aft
ernoon in the house Of representa-
tives.
A bill to legalize snuff sales. but
carrying no tax provision already
has been passed by the senate, bat
was killed in the house.
Indications are that the vote on
the measure will be close, both in
the committee of the whole and on
the floor. Temperance advocates
are strong in their efforts to de-
feat the bill and 4 number Of other
representatives are supporting it
on the ground that the present law
prohibiting snuff has not been en-
forced and is practically dead let
ter. Because Of the strained con-
dition Cf the state finances, the tax
feature is expected to appeal ia
some members since it is estimated
that the proposed snuff tax would
raise a considerable amount Of
revenue.

had bribed the defendants to obtain
S7,OOO,0O0 of assets Of the American
Metal company held by the alien
property custodian during the war.
After his opening address to the
'nry yesterday, Mr.. Buckner, through
three witnesses, began tracing the
progress of liberty bonds from Mer-
ton into Mr.. Daugherty's bank. the
Midland National, at Washington
Courthouse, Ohio.

of the bonds, sold by the Midland
bank, were now in the form of de-
posit certificates to the credit of
Mr.. Daugherty. Mr.. Buckner said
there were five such certificates of
$4,000 each and he produced four

Illinois Ex-Governor Say
Curtis.Crisp Bill Is Not
Adequate Substitute
SENATE TO VOTE FRIDAY
Former Pennsylvania Execu.
tive Thinks Bill Will Aid
Farmer-WOrth 4 Test

Washington, Feb. 9.--R)--Having
cleared the way for a vote on the
much discussed McNary -Haugen farm
mid bill in the senate, supporters Of
the measure with its equalization fee
principle now look to house man
ayers to get the proposal before that
body with as little delay as possible.
The senate, under an unanimous
consent agreement reached yestcr-
day. will vote not later than ! p. m.
FRIDAY, while house proponents hope
for a final roll call on the bill early
next week. They had planned TO cali
up today the rule giving the measure
right of way and providing for u
hours Of general DEBATE.
While the debate was going on in
the senate. support for the measure
was given from two outside sources.
Frank o. Lowticn, former governor Of
Illinois and farm leader. declared
in 4 letter to George N. Peek, Of the
farm committee Of %, that the Cur
tis- Crisp bin was not an adequate
substitute" for the McNary- -Haugcn
measure because, in emitting the
equalization fee, it "whoily misses
the point of legislation We have been
advocating"
Bill Worth . Test
Clifford Pinchot, former governor
of Pennsylvania, said in a statement
that he favored the bin because ne
believed it provided some aid for the
farmer and was worth test.
Declaring there is no such thing
as world" cash price tor wnea.,
or a "united States" cash price,
Sydney Anderson, former represent
ative from Minnesota, and NJ" CON
nected with the Millers' National
Federation, said in a statement today
that the working of the equalization
fee principle. whether based upon the
theory of fixed price in the United
States or price in the United State
fMctuating with so-called world
price, is possible only under the con-
ception that wheat is wheat and that
different kinds Of wheat always bear
the same price relationship TO each
other"
"This regular and continuous price
relationship" he said, does not exist
and cannot be made to exist except
under conditions which contro. all
the factors Of competition"

The first wholly political fight
which has occurred in the house at
this session came on Tue esday when
Independents and Nonpartisans split
on the proposal to consolidate the
secretaryship of the industrial com
emission with the state bank cx-
aminer's office.
Even this, however, did not result
in solid party vote, five Nonparti-
sans going over to the Independents
on the roll call.
The bill, sponsored by Fred
Ferris of Nelson county, was de-
feated by vote of 81 to as. Argu-
ments on the measure were based
on the political basis with Nonparti-
sans admitting they did not blame
the Independents for wishing to re-
tain John /Gammons, present indus
trial commission secretary. and In
dependents admitting they did not
blame the governor for wishing to
oust him.
Minnie ID. Craig, Benson county
said that when she came here. as a
member of the budget board last
fall, she surveyed the state offices
to see if any had either too much
or too little help.
She visited the industrial commits
sion office often, she said, but only
on three occasions did she find any
one there. There once was a lot
Of work to be. done by the industr rial
commission secretary, but now the
Job is almost wholly political and
consists of publicity work for the
Independents and addressing cnve-
lopes," she said.
A Political Issue
l.. L. Twichell, majority floor lead
er, defended an adverse report on
the bill by the state affairs commit
tee saying that the Independents
have given Nonpartisans control of
all other offices relating to the state
mill and elevator but that they want
to retain the secretaryship of the In
dustrial commission and want a
friendly man there.
"Ghmmons has given the Inde-
pendents the service they want and
the service they are entitled to-"
Twichell said. This is political
issue and we might as we'll recognize
it and fight it out on that basis"
Citing the governors message to
the legislature, Rep. Ferris pointed
out his Recommendation that the
work can be handled by some other
state department and alleged that
$500 would BE saved to the tax
payers thereby. Returning to the at
tack Twichell pointed out that if the
executive really is seeking to effect
economy he could, easily dispense
with the services Of F. F. Burchard,
appointed by the governor as his
special auditor at the state mill and
elevator. The governor has failed
to present to the legislature the re-
ports made BY Burchard as required
by law, Twichell said, and the legis-
lature has seen no evidence that he
has done any work.
"You are paying man to do this
work and getting no results" Twich-
ell said.

the debate grew more heated and

London, Feb. 9.--(R)---As London
had made up it's mind that a serious
revolutionary situation prevailed in
Portugal, because Of the almost COM
pletc lack of information for many
hours, a report arrived this morning
from the Reuter- correspondent at
Madrid that President Carmona had
occupied the town of OportO, where
the movement started last week. He
is said to have entered the town at
the head of contingent of loyal
forces at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
; General Carmona. who was war
minister, went to the Oporto dis
trict soon after the revolt began last
Thursday. He organized the loyal
forces and after giving notice to
the insurrectionists he bombarded
the town, but they refused to sur
render.
Before the rigid censorship was
put into effect, enough news leaked
out Of Portugal to indicate the dis
affection had spread from Oporto
to other places, notably Lisbon,
where revolutiOnaries, calling for
the overthrow of the dictatorship of
President CarmOna, were said to be
in almost complete control.
The marine arsenal was reported
to be heavily guarded. while the
authorities had ordered all Lisbon
shops to close and the suspension of
street traffic after 4 p. m. 1t had
also been decreed that only those
persons whose professions made it
necessary would be permitted to be
abroad during the curfew hours.
Several newspapers had been sus-
pended and their editors placed in
Jail. The strike on the state rail-
ways, which was called when the
: Oporto garrison revolted, was still
in progress, although the government
had managed to run few trains.
The news that q British cruiser
was to proceed to Lisbon from Glib
raltar and two destroyers had or
aers to go to Oporto to protect
British interests, was looked upon
here as confirming the belief that
the situation in Portugal was grave.
