The three chosen members will
outline what points seem favorable
to them, hear suggestions from
others and present the convention
a rough draft of the main items
deemed worthy of consideration.
-Four TOlking Points
Early in the afternoon the dele
gates outlined for the League or
ganizers four major promises OF
talking points to be used in re-
cruiting memberships. The four j.
TENS were drafted by a committee
of five, headed by Miller, who had
the assistance of Mrs. Olive La
Grave, Benson county, c. N. Lee
Dunn county, o. E. Buttman,
Mountrail county.
As adopted the program pro-
vides.
a. We affirm our confidence in
our industrial program.
"2. We demand a price for oul
agricultural products above the
cost of production.
"3. We favor the modification nj
the North Dakota farm storage
act so as to make the same work
able.
"a. We heartily endorse the CO.
operative marketing movement in
North Dakota and pledge ourselves
TO promote and foster same"
The fifth section offered by the
committee was voted down, by the
group. 1t read: "We are opposed tc
chain banks controlled by eastern
capital"
A further resolution which dele.
gates deemed to be one of the
most important urged that the or.
der of procedure in state conven.
tions be altered TO allow selection
of the executive committee to have
first place, choice of a platform
second and the selection of candi.
dates third.

Charles Krug Laid
To Rest At Glendive

Glendive, Dec. 10-CharIes Krug,
pioneer rancher, capitalist and
business man, who died at his
home here after four years of i'll
ness, was buried Monday. He was
born in 1881 and is survived by his
widow, three sons and three daugh-
ters. Charles Krug came to Mon

was director and heavy stock
holder, and with the Glendive State
bank, of which he was president.
In times of need and drouth de-
ceased was willing and did aid his
less fortunate neighbors and
friends and unstintingly furnished
to them hay, feed and forage for

If Preparedness Is
Foe of War, Peace
Prospects Are Bright

Armies of the word are about as
large as they were before the
world war. 1t is in this field that
Europe has an opportunity to eff
feet considerable savings.
The authorized peace strength OF
the principal armies are as follows,
United States, 1912; Great Bri.
tain, 212,044 Exclusive of native
forces in India); France, 626,468;
Italy, 249, 9,429; Japan, 2O6, 400; and
Russia, $4,000.
To understand the cost of LAM
and sea preparations for war take
a look at the appropriations OF
the principal powers in 1927:
United States S600,25O,S42
British Empire 749,133, ,32O
France 413.155. $50
Italy 215.263. $50
Japan 225. 100 600
Russia 470.371 600
Many people are under the i'm
preston that the nations of the
world have observed something of
a naval holiday since the Washing
ton conference in 1921. Just how
far this is erroeous is clearly seen
by figures showing that, up to Oc-
tober, 1923, the five nations in
volved have laid the cells. or made
appropriations, for the following
warships, including submarines. de-
Stroyers and cruisers.

N.P.LEACUERSARE
LIMBERING UP FOR
ELECTION In 1890

Bismarck.-No definite platform
was adopted by the meeting of the
Nonpartisan League platform COM
mittee here. A platform commit
tee of three members was chosen
to work on the planks of the struc-
ture during the coming three
months and will have an outline
prepared for the state convention
of the organization which meets
in Bismarck in February.
Adjournment was made after the
meeting had stricken from a sug-
gested organizers program" a
clause that condemned chain bank
ing.
Rejection of the anti-chain bank
ing clause was wholly unexpected.
Contained in the organization pro-
gram, as principle upon which
the league is presumed to be stand
ing at this time, the action came
as a result of the attack made by
Senator Girdell Patterson of Rem
vile county.
Disagree on Chain Banking
He insisted that it had not vet
been proved that chain banking
was not good thing and, answer
ing the argument that such declar-
alton would attract support from
independent or unit bankers who
are opposed to chain banks, he as
serted tina tthe league could well
await the time when the indepen-
dent bankers asked for help.
- 'Ihe committee which met here
was made up of one from each
county, with a majority of the
members seeking to reorganize the
league on SO membership basis.
mat increase in membership was
made the basis for attack at the
hands of some committee members
who called on Roy Frazier. as
chairman of the executive commit
tee, to explain why it had been
done.
Frazier Wins Point
Frazier did not arrive until after
a motion to name a platform COM
mlttee had been voted down by the
group. Taking the delegates to
task for neglecting to consider
more seriously the platform prob
lem, Frazier devoted a half hour
70 explaining the fundamental
problem before the league was the
platform rather than the candi-
dates. With the aid of d. L. Todd J
county, and p. S. Miller
Mclean county, who had made the
previous motion, he threw open the
again to the discussion of
a platform committee. Miller's mo- |
hon was reconsidered and passed |
and the appointment left in the
hands of Mrs. Minnie Craig, chair
nan of the meeting, who will an
lounce her choice within the next

ALONG THE BOWERY

New York = (FP) - Experts
quarrel over the exact number of
jobless men shivering before fac
tory gates and along breadlines;
Pres. HCover's eminent business
supporters speak in billions about
work to be done; along New York's
Bowery thousands of men are
shuffling along, standing on graf
ings over warm cellars.
The old painter, who seemed to
have stepped out of a daguerreo-
type, looked up from his job in The
Tub. "This'll be the worst winter
since "9S," he said gravely. All
business depressions, reflected the
labor reporter, are the "worst since
49," That must have been a tough

more voluble. He was explaining
how Urban Ledoux, the famous
Mr.. Zero who once auctioned off
jobless workers on New York
street corners to call attention to
their plight, had been kicked out of
the big Tub on st. Marks Place.
The health department had for
bade LedouX to let his nickel flop
customers sleep on steamer chairs
in windowless rooms with hazard
Gus fire exits.
Now The Tub is in the basement.
