He characterized Russia as. a "mag-

in untapped resources"

was because 1856 million of the 1875
million people in Russia were, litter
ate. A description of the five polit-

after the war was given by DR.. Coul-
ter. The five factions were the COM

who wished the state to take control

"The major thing l brought back
from Russia was the feeling of the
tremendous Importance of all people
having at least common school edu-
cation" Coulter said. Scientific
achievements are fine but where over
a hundred million people live in pow
erty, we must have the common school
education first. The mass of po-

Independents.
The measure, however. provides
that private companies must be under
the supervision of the state bureau,
which would also adjust and settle
all claims as it now does. An amend
ment giving outside firms the right
of appeal from the bureaus decisions
was adopted.
Lieutenant Governor Walter Mad
dock was forced to cast the deciding
vote before an amendment was passed
emitting an entire section in a bill
which would allow banks to post
bonds, warrants or bills receivable
as security in order to obtain depos-
its of public funds.
Nonpartisans were in favor Of the
amendment, while the Independents
opposed it. The tie resulted from
the absence of Senator c. j. Olson,
Barnes county, and the fact that Sen
ator Charles A. Seamands, Hettinger
county, Independently, cast his vote
with the league.
The bill then passed, &c to %, in a
vote that disrupted party alignments
resulting from the addition of the
amendment. Four leaguers voted with

pendents switched to the league

added that the measure would not
apply to auctioneers from states
which do not require auctioneers to
be licensed.
Two other senate bills, relating to
readjustment of state fire and tor
nado insurance fund rates and pro-
lection of insurance companies insur-
ing officers of corporations were
passed without debate.
A house bill providing that county
commissioners may also offer b0un-
ties for prairie dogs and rabbits, in
addition to present bounties in some
counties on crows and gophcrs, was
recommended for passage by the COM
meeting.
Would Lengthen Assessors Terms
The committee took favorable ac-
tiOn on senate bill which provides
that assessors shall be elected for
two-year instead Of one-ycar terms
and eliminating the requirement that
assessors shall be owners of real

A senate bill that would repeal the
law allowing the county commission
crs to contract with the sheriff for
collection of delinquent taxes was
killed.

recommended senate bill that would
prevent appointment Of game ward
ems, deputy game wardens or special

Denies Having Accomulices

Denies Having Accomplices
States Attorney Perkins "is con-
WINGED the girl had male accompliccs,"
he told the Associated Press, al
though she denies that she had any.
In the woman's ward ut the county
Jail, where she is the only prisoner,
the girl cried continuously all
through the morning, begging author
tiles not to tell her mother of her
plight.
For heavens sake, don't tell my
mother; it would break her heart, "
she sobbed out to Mr.. Perkins when
he sought to question her.
II WON'T" he replied, "if you tell
me the names of your accompliccs."
He does not think a girl could have
broken through to the vault unaidcd.
But Miss Meyers only cried the
harder, reitcrating her declaration
that she was alone.
Couldn't Have Done It Alone
Mr.. Perkins pointed out that the
dicated the strength of the cage
way, declaring she was not strong
enough to have accomplished it alone.
She is rather short, weighs about
l25 pounds, but is quite muscular.
Her hair is light brown, and Mr.. Per-
kins termed her "rather good look
ing"
On her adventure in crime she was
we'll dressed, aside from the boys
hat she wore. This she had worn
around the campus occasionally, and
her name was bodily stamped on the
band. Her clothes are of good quail
ity and her brown coat is fur trim
med.
Miss Meyers will be held in the
county Jail pending preliminary
hearing, which will mot be until
Monday, at least" Mr.. Perkins said.
He is seeking to establish definitely
whether she had accomplices.
Shortly after Miss Meyers arrest,
several women employees from the
Oranges store here visited her room
and found several dresses which they
identified as having been stolen
from the store last October. The
store employees said they had suspect
