chute stunts and aeroplanes than
from automobile racing accidents, he
said.
C. N. Lee, Dunn county, urged
passage Of the bill on the ground
that it would serve to curb the speed
mania of the younger generation.
The bill to sterilize certain in
mates of state penal and charitable
institutions was favorably reported
by the state affairs committee and
will receive final vote today.
North Dakota already has a steril-
ization law, but it has been ineffec-
tive because Of doubts as to it's con-
constitutionality.
A sharp fight occurred before the
house finally killed senate bill
providing for soil survey and val
uation Of farm land by the state
board of equalization acting in con-
junction with county commissioners.
Claim Method Would Be Expensive
Opponents of the measure pointed
out that such surveys and valuations
can be made in any county on appli-
cation of so per- cent of the land
owners, that the proposed method of
would not be sufficiently flexible to
permit taxation on fluctuating land
values.
Sow thistle, quack grass and other
weeds reduce value of land while
drainage and other improvements in
crease it's value, it was pointed out.
It was commended that the measure
made no provision for revising the
value, once they had been estab-
lishcd.
Advocates Of the bill pointed out
that it's purpose was to obtain uni
form and equal assessment of land
by persons capable of doing the job
we'll and that a survey by the county
commissioners and state tax commits
sioner would permit the establish
ment of values on an equal basis
without logrolling or prejudice.
They contended that some land is
taxed heavier than should be the
case, while other land is taxed at
less than its real value.
Opponents of the measure pointed
out that local assessors who know
conditions in their townships should
be better able to fairly assess the
property than any stranger; that
the township and county boards
cquallze the assessments ana tnal
appeal can be made to the state
board. They also contended that the
valuation and soil survey as proposed
in the bill could not be made. The
bill was killed by vote Of 81 to AZ.
Power Line Bill Killed
The question of placing the val
uation of power transmission lines in
the hands of the state tax commits
sioner, previously discussed in the
house, came up again when similar
senate bill was recommended for in
definite postponement by the tax
committee.
The house bill was killed following
receipt of an opinion by the attorney
general that it was unconstitutional
The senate bill was killed for the
same reason after the subject had
been argued all over again. The
vote was 81 to so.
The bill appropriating $33,950 for
the school for the blind at Bathgate
was passed, 80 to 0. 1t now goes to

Two thousand troops, all available

control the enthusiastic crowds, he
said. Rockenbach announced that
the Lindbergh parade down Penn

to pause for a single moment, for
fear of a friendly rush that might
cause disaster.
With Lindbergh's triumphal

BERLIN, June 8. "A fight
around the globe and trans-At-
lantic commercial. airplane line, two
projects involving millions of dol
lars, were proposed today by Clar-
ence Chamberlin and Charles Le-
vine. True to their training, Cham
berlin, the flier, was the one who
considered the 30,000-mile world
fight and Levine, the business
man, turned to the commercial
possibilities which their trans
Atlantic flight and that of Col.
Charles Lindbergh opened up.
Levine said he had formulated
plan to invest 100000 in estab..
fishing transatlantic air service,
which he hoped to start within a
year. Multi-motored planes, carry
ing a capacity of 1000 pounds, would
be used, he said.
Plans Canvas Planes
Chamberlin, discussing Levine's
plan. said canvas planes would be
more practical than all-metal craft
despite the reduced resistance of
the latter. Floating harbors at in
tervals across the ocean "undoubt-
edly would be useful for emergen-
cies," he said.
But the pilot was more interested
in the world flight possibility.
Such a fight is not impossible.
he said. "It would be probably a
10000 mile journey. I hope some
body will offer one or two million
dollars to play with so a suitable
plane could be constructed"
Chamberlin indicated in an inter-
view with tie United Press that he,
like Lindbergh, would spurn all
offers not in the interest of aviation.
Offers Total S2,OOo,OOO
German firms and individuals" /"
Chamberlin said, have made us
offers already exceeding $2000,000.
While we are unable to estimate
the total cash value of offers made
to us from the United States and
other countries-offers which range
all the way from appearance with
circus and talking for phonograph
records to authorization of the
name Chamberlin or Bellanca for
breakfast foods or automobiles-we
have decided to accept nothing ex-
cept offers calculated to benefit
aviation"
Levine said that he and Chamber
lin would start in their plane for
Vienna at a. m, Sunday.
Pressed with invitations to host
of official and social functions,
Chamberlin and Levine we're uncer-
tain of where they would meet their
wives, who are on their way from
the United States.

MICHIGAN CITY. Ind. June g.
The State board of charities, sitting
as an investigating body, today be-
gan calling witnesses at random,
seeking to plumb the truth of D. G.
Stephensons charges that he was
mistreated by prison officers.
The groundwork for the inquiry
was laid Wednesday, when Stephen
son and President John L. Norman
Of the prison board of trustees ap-
peared before the board.
The former Klan dragon was
closeted with the investigators for
almost two hours. Whether he de-
parted from his determination not
to testify was not divulged.
He was to be recalled today.
Norman was called becaise he
was one Of two prison officials
specifically named in Stephenson's
written charges, made in applying
for 90-day parole. Warden Walter
H. DAILY was the other. He was not
called, but is certain to be heard,
perhaps today.
Robert H. Moore, Stephenson's at
torney, was not successful in lis at
tempt to be present while the board
questioned his client. The board
adhered to its decision to make the
hearings secret.
Irritated, Moore told Secretary
John A. Brown of the board over
the telephone that he thought the
investigation was just "a white
washing"
