Meeting this morning, the house
appropriations committee recommend
cd passage of three minor bills. but
spent most of it's time orienting it.
self on the major matters to com0
before it, among which are appropria-
tions for state institutions.
House bills %, 30 and 81 were re-
commended for passage.
Bill %, appropriating $2l 500 for
the state historical society to pay
salary, clerk hire and general ex-
penses for the biennium beginning
July /. 1927. and ending June 80,
1929. was approved without change
An appropriation Of $4,000 for the
Florence Crittendon Home at Fargo,
contained in house bill 30, was ap-
proved, as was house bill 81, appro-
priating $4,000 for the biennium to
pay premiums on the bonds Of state
officials
Object to Salary
House bill %, appropriating $2S, 100
for salary, travel and miscellaneous
items of the state Transportation o.
ficer for the biennium, came up for
a lengthy discussion. Objections were
made to payment of $4,000 salary
end to payment Of $24, 900 travel ex-
pense.
On motion Of Representative Brown,
Adams county, committe consisting
Of Mrs. Minnie Craig Of Benson, j.
H. Burkhardt Of Ward and I. j. Will
son of Slope was appointed to make
q thorough investigation OF the ex.
pense statement turned in by the
transportation officer for the past
year to determine if the $4,000 ap-
preparation would be too high.
Salaries of the heads OF state edu.
eational institutions came up for an
informal discussion early in the ses-
sion. Representative Burkhardt de-
clared that he believed the present
salary appropriation for the heads of
the state agricultural college and uni
versity was "too much, and provided
even higher salaries than the COVER
nor receives"
Taxation Discussed
The matter of raising additional
taxes also came up for comment, with
Representative William Watt, Cass
county, chairman Of the committee,
declaring that "the land is bearing
too heavy proportion of the state
and county taxes" He suggested
taxation of amusements. soft drinks
and several other luxuries, as pro-
posed by him in bill four years
ago.
"The property in the city Of Fargo
is not assessed for IS per cent of its
value, as it should be-" said Watt.
"The country land, however, is assess
ed for every penny Of its value"
Employment Of a county assessor,
as suggested by Governor A. G. Sor-
lie in his message to- the legislature,
was briefly discussed, but no defi-
mite conclusion was arrived at.

STATES BANK
MUST PAY BACK
TAXES ON LAND
Not Required to Pay Taxes
After Getting Sheriffs
Deed, However

The Bank or North Dakota mu t
pay back taxes on land on which il.
has foreclosed for failure to pay a
mortgage, the supreme court held
today in case APPEALED from the Bar
leigh county district court.
In the same decision, however, the
court held that the Bank need not nay
taxes after it has acquired sheriff s
deed to foreclosed property Tho
case was appealed by both the bank
and Burleigh county. The bank con-
tended that it should not be required
to pay taxes under any conditions
and .the>county contended it should
pay taxes even when it held title to
property. The supreme court decision
affirms that of the lower court. ,4
The case is regarded as oGo of
widespread Importance and is the
first by the supreme court bearing
on the point at issue. A decision that
the Bank of North Dakota is not re-
quircd to pay back taxes would have
seriously menaced the revenues of
many counties where foreclosures
have been made. the, court was told
il, argument.
The case grew out of the> failure of
Nestor Rutanan to pay his taxes or
land mortgaged to the Bank Of North
Dakota as security for loan o0tain-
ed in 1919. There were no bidders at
the tax sale and the land was struck
eft to the county and tax certifi-
cate issued. In 1923 the mortgage
was forecloscd and the property was
bid in by the state treasurer as
trustee for the state. After sheriff's
deed had been issued, the state de-
manded that the county commission
ers cancel and abate taxes on the
land from 1920 to 1928, and made
the same demand in 1924, which the
commits sioners refused.

the senate took the lead Saturday by
passing four bills. The house is ex-
pccted to pass today the first house

in sight for this session.
To Meet Opposition
Although efforts by certain Non
partisans to make the measure fac
tional issue apparently have failed
it is regarded as certain that tbs
bill will meet plenty Of opposition
before it is enacted into law.

began developing last week, S. S. Nc.

Other major issues are expected tt
be the Baird bill to restore capital
punishment and the Fowler bill tc
return to the convention system Of
nominating party candidates for state
and national office.
Other minor but interesting con
tests are expected on the bills to re
peal the law against smoking In pub
lie dining rooms and repeating tht
law against the sale Of snuff, nov

mittee.
Most of the appropriation bills
called for by the state budget al

Chicago, Jan. l7.-lR)-The Chicago
Tribune today said that Ban Johnson,
president Of the American League
openly charged that Baseball Com
missioner lands was responsible for
tarring the regulations Of iris Speak
er and Ty Cobb.
Breaking q silence that began last
September when directors Of the
American League, meeting in Chi
cago, voted to give unconditional re-
leases to Cobb and Speaker, President
Johnson declared that neither of the
two would ever again manage or play
on an American League club, although
he paid high tribute to the former
Detroit manager.
Mr. Johnson, the Tribune said, de-
clared he had accepted the implied
challenge" of Commissioner Lands
to bare all the facts in the Cobb
Speaker baseball drama, and would
take the stand next Monday at the
special American League meeting
called by the baseball head. He said
his testimony at that meeting would
prove the American League acted to
protect Cobb and Speaker, and that
.Landis alone was to blame for the
cloud of rumors about their names
Il don't believe Ty Cobb ever played
a dishonest game in his life" Mr.
Johnson said. "If that's the exon
Grafton he seeks, gladly give it to
him. But it is from Landis that Cobl
should demand an explanation. The
American League oustcd Cobb but i,
was Landis who broadcas. the story
of his mistakes.

STOCKS FOR BONDS

Wall street has sensed a change in railroad financing with the an- nouncement that the Baltimore X Ohio railroad will issue nearly s7o,- 000,000 in new stock, instead of is- suing bonds, which has been a cus- tom of railroads for some years. Most of our railroads are top heavy with bonds. When the rail- roads found themselves in need of money they have been issuing bonds. which bore certain interest charges which had to be paid. They couldn't get money any other way For years railroad stocks have been anything Lut popular with investors.
 The time has come when some railroads are in better condition financially, and this large stock is- sue is the first instance where a trunk line has departed from the custom since the war.

THE PATH OF FAME

What Is success?" is a question that again protrudes itself afte, reading the story of the mystery man" of Brooklyn who was found dead in dingy room beneath the shadow of Brooklyn bridge.
 A one-time brilliant mining engin. eer, graduate of Lehigh, framed de. grees from universities on the walls well stocked library containing many books he himself had written; papers showing he was elected life member of the American Society of Metallurgical engineers.
 But life at last became so empty that he ended 1t in the room in which he had existed as a recluse for many years.
 Education and fame does not nec- ossarily mean a man knows how to live. The world seems doubly un- kind to those who do not possess this faculty.

A DCCE OF TRAFFIC

Regulation of parked cars in downtown sections of cities requires Mussolini for every community. That at least Is the opinion of Judge Wallace R. Heady of Spring field, who has taken his fellow citi- zens into his confidence by submit- ting his opinions 10 the mayors committee on traffic safety.
 The judge says all downtown parking should be banned; that he would let only persons having ur- gent business to leave their cars on the streets. and says the retail mer- chants are not fit persons to listen to when discussing parking.
 As a Mussolini the judge would make a first class duce. His opinion unfortunately is being shared by a minority who would end the parking nuisance in the quickest way - by prohibiting parking. As the autoist going downtown would say, whats the use of riding if you cant park 9"
 cartoon ir the New York World comes to mind. It was headed Twenty Minutes from Broadway. and depicted traffic jam. Half a block away were street signs in- dicating Broadway.
