Canada Goose Given
to State Museum

Presentation to the state museum
Of one Of the six Canadian geese
shot north Of Bismarck early Mon.
day by L. H. Carufel, Joe McClusky
and Arthur Finseth is announced
today by officials Of the museum,
located in the memorial building at
the state capitol. The specimen,
which was donated by Mr.. Carufel,
will be mounted and will probably
be ready to put on display in about
q month.
Museum officials who have made
a study Of bird life state that the
specimen is one Of the Great Cam
ada Goose, which at one time nest
ed in North Dakota but which for
many years has gone farther north
to make its summer home. There
are four lesser species Of Canadian
goose, the officials say, and it is
the latter variety which are more
often bagged in this vicinity. The
Great Canada Goose is very rarely
seen here, they claim.

StitutiOnal

Holding that the legislature in
tended to give it general supervision
over the public utilities Of the state
and that its powers extend to the
operations in cities, tie state rail-
road board has ordered M. A. Erick-
son of Rugby to halt construction
of an electric light plant at Kenmarc
until he complies with the law re-
him to have certificate Of
public convenience and necessity
before beginning on such . business
venture.
The case, which is regarded by
railroad board members as one of
great Importance, is the first # its
kind to come before the railroad
board and sets q precedent for fu-
ture actions. It is expected here
that Erickson will appeal the
boards decision to the courts on the
ground that the public utility law
passed last winter is unconstitu-
tional.
The case came before the board
when w. A. Minor Of Tolley and A.
F. Mckenzie of Kenmare asked the
board to order Erickson to stop the
construction Of q power plant at
kenmare.
The facts, as disclosed in q
lengthy decision by the board, are
that kenmare was served by the
Montana Dakota Power company
through a power line which also
supplies electricity to many sur
rounding towns in the vicinity Of
kenmarc.
Franchise Granted
Prior to July l, when the new pub
lie utility law became effective, the
village Of Kenmare granted fran
chise to Erickson to supply the town
with electricity. Erickson began
construction Of 4 plant and was
halted by a temporary order of the
railroad board which directed him
to show cause why he should not be
permanently enjoined from proceed
ing with the work.
At hearing conducted by the
board, attorneys for Erickson con-
tended that the law granting juris-
diction to the state railroad board
is unconstitutional because Of an
alleged defect in the title Of the act
and because it attempts TO- confer
upon the board Of railroad commits
sioners the power to determine who
may occupy the streets, alleys or
public places Of municipality with
out the consent of the local author
tiles. Since the constitution re-
serves to local authorities the right
to determine what use should be
made Of streets, alleys and public
places the new law is, to that ex-
tent, unconstitutional, it was con-
tended.

Jordan Says Report Reflects
Growing Uneasiness About
B0ot-strap Prosperity

Providence, r. l., Dec. 1.-P)-A
warning that the old principle Of
interdependence Of agriculture and
industry holds today as much as
ever was given in an address before
the Rhode Island Agricultural con-
ference by Virgil Jordan, chief
economist Of the National Industrial
conference board, here today.
Discussing the report Of the bus
mess mems commission on agricul-
ture, he declared that it reflected
the growing uneasiness of many
intelligent and far-sighted men
about our boot-strap prosperity"
"Our much vaunted prosperity in
recent years has had something IL
lusory, uncertain and exceedingly
uneven about it," he declared. BUS
mess as whole has not shown
much more than the normal rate of
growth since 1922.
The Principal Reason

current credit needed to handle
surplus crops. if sterilization Of

RUSSIA AGAIN ENROLLED
I'M FAMILY OF NATIONS

Geneva, Dec. 1.-(R-The Rus
sian challenge to the world to dis
arm and the soviet's willingness to
have that challenge discussed on a
give and take basis today were re-
garded as having enrolled Russia
again in the family of nations.
It is a new Russia that is sitting
as an observer in the security COM
mission of the disarmament COM
mission Of the League Of Nations.
Maxim Litvinoff, head Of the dele
cation, and Anatole Lunacharsky,
his chief aide, have shown a far
less antagonistic spirit than the
Russians displayed at the financial
and economic conference in Genoa
in 1922 and at other international
meetings.
The soviet leaders advocated their
project for absolute and immediate
disarsaament throughout the world
with vigor. They yielded graceful
ly, however, when the representa-
tives Of the other powers insisted
upon proceeding along the lines
discussed at previous sessions of the
commission.
The Russians were temperate in
the criticism. There was less dis
cussion Of capitalism and capitalist
ic nations in the Russian speeches
than there has been in the past.
Litvinoff and his associates
have won consideration from the
other delegates in their effort to
lessen the danger Of war. There is
a disposition everywhere to give the
soviet leaders full credit for their
readiness to wipe out ornaments.
However, the general impression
among the other delegations is that
total disarmament is. for the pres
ent at least, an idealistic dream.
