Design for Capitol
Still Is in Question
Commissioners Get Final Data
Upon Which to Base
Their Decision
SITE CLEARED OF DEBRIS
Problem Is Whether Structure
Should Be Of Tower or
low-Lying Type

With tests and borings completed
on the proposed site for the new
state capitol building, all that re-
mains before the architects can be-
gin the final phases Of their work is
for the capitol commission to decide
upon a design, F. l.. Anders, commits
sion secretary, said Friday.
Some discussion has been had OF
q skyScraper or tower type Of build
Ing but just as much has been heard
Of a relatively low-lying structure
Anders said. Adjutant General G. A.
Fraser and F. L. Conklin. commits
sion members, said Friday that the
design had by no means been de-
cided upon.
With the necessary technical data
available. members Of the commission
are giving their attention to the
matter of design and indications are
that the question as to whether the
building should be tall or low-lying
Is one Of major Importance.
The debris on the capitol site has
been removed and has been distrib-
uted along the boulevard at the head
Of Second street. Members Of the
commission said they had purposely
delayed clearing the grounds In order
to provide work when 1t was most
needed by residents OF the COM
munity.
With regard to the type Of building
to be selected, members Of the COM
mission said they are fortunate In
that the character OF the site is not
an important. factor. A full-quarter
section is available and the topog-
raphy is such that proper location
could be made Of any type Of build
ing.
Tentative sketches of several types
|,af StxictAres have, been submitted t.
the commissioners by the architects
and careful study Of these Is being
made before vote is taken on the
final question.
Members Of the commission will
meet in Bismarck at p. m, Wednes-
day. Jan. 20. with architects to con-
slider suggested plans tor the new
structure. George A. Bangs, chair
man Of the commission, announced in

Board Of Administration Head
Says No Definite Decisions

PRESIDENTS GATHER HERE

Presidents Of North Dakota's five
teachers colleges and normal schools.
meeting here Thursday and Friday
with members of the state board Of
administration, were facing the prosJ
pect Of cutting the salaries Of teach-
ers In their institutions. curtatlinS
courses where possible and making
such other economies as were found
to be possible.
Nelson Sauvair, chairman Of the
board, said no definite decisions would
be made at the session here and that
numerous adjustments would have to
be made by the presidents themselves
In line with the results Of the discus
sions.
It was plain, however, that the
board has the pruning knife whetted
and In hand and that the general
term economies" was being made to
cover q number Of subjects.
Farley Annual Event

ago. They are r. M. Black, Glendale;

City: and George A. Mcfarland.
Minot. The conference is an annual
event and decisions reached here will
be reflected in the catalogues OF the
various schools which soon will be
prepared for publication.
One Of the items under conSidera-
ton was that Of the length of summer
terms at the various institutions. In
1881 the legislature passed T. law
changing tlss Fequare1saents~6sr = prt4
mary teachers certificate to provide
q minimum of one year OF teacher
training. It became effective last
September.
:. The result was to eliminate certifi-
cation Of teachers with IL weeks of
training, which could be obtained at a
summer school, and the board there
upon cut the length Of the summer
sessions In half.
Economics Are Suggested
Some presidents are said to have
told the board they could operate their
institutions as cheaply on 12-week
as Six-week basis and that dormi-
tory fees for the extra six weeks are
an important part of the school
revenue. One result may be permits
sion to extend the summer sessions at
the discretion Of school heads.
It was intimated in some quarters
that the summer school reduction was
to be made the basis for salary cuts
at the various schools, and this fact
may affect the decision.
Sauvain said Friday that the board
intends to give consideration to num-
erous communications regarding the
recent order increasing tuition fees for
out-of-state students at the state uni
versity. agricultural college and nor
NAL schools. When the ruling was
made, he said. the board had before 1t
data on the tuition fees charged by
in neighboring states.
These, which are lower than the pro-
posed North Dakota schedule, have
been emphasized in protests which
have come largely from Grand Forks
and Fargo.

FORMER CASHIER OF
OBERON BANK Will
!. SE r ! Term
President of Bank Dies Soon Al
ter Ell. Tobier Confesses
Embezzlement

Rugby, N. D. Jan. 15.-(R-E. I
Tobler, former assistant cashier Of
the Bank Of Oberon, pleaded guilty
to charge Of embezzling approxi-
mately $1,000 from the bank and was
sentenced to q two.to five-year term
in the state penitentiary by Judge g.
Crimson in district court late Thurs
day.
Tobler broke down when sentence
was imposed. He blamed the short
ages and the fact that he was able to
falsify the banks records over q period
Of about two years to the fact that
the cashier of the bank did not close
~ supervise the books.
Held in custody here until the ar
rival of the transportation officer
Tobler said the strain Of the whole
thing" was enormous. He added that
1t was the first time he had ever been
in trouble. Tobler had held various
public offices in Benson county, in
GLIDING treasurer Of the school district
and township clerk for many years.
States Attorney w. G. Mcdonald
obtained the first confession from
Tobler with the aid Of Charles
Schaffner, president of the now closed
Bank Of Oberon, who cooperated with
authorities in experimenting Tobler. :
Tobler was apprehended at Los An
geles, Calf, about two weeks ago
when Benson county authorities trail
ed Mrs. Tobler to Los Angeles.
Charles Schaffner, president of the
bank which closed following the en-
bezzlement by Tobler, died at Oberon
Friday morning from heart disease.
Worry over the closing Of the bank
and the personal loss Of considerable
money in the bank was believed to
have hastened his death. In poor
health the last ten years, Schaffler
had spent much time in aiding and
cooperating with authorities here in
the apprehension Of Tobler. He
helped to get Tobler,s confession.

Easier Tax Payment

In 27 states taxes may be paid in install- ments. They have relatively small tax delinquency. A huge total of delinquent taxes in states where installment paying is not permitted has been one of the dire de- velopments of the times. leaving treasures without funds to carry on essential public services. pay teachers, and so on. Taxpay- ing, says real estate authority. should be made as easy and practical as the paying of any other large bill There might be times when the tax bill could be paid up promptly. A cash discount, it is urged, would not be amiss in such cases. In others, where the bill must be met in partial payments there might be reduction in the amount of pen atty as each installment is paid. .
 Tax savings clubs are also suggested, op- erating on the plan of the Christmas thrift clubs. These suggestions may not be feasi- be. Yet some modification of them should be possible. Whatever method is finally worked out, taxpaying must be made less of a burden; the taxes should be more justly distributed and the method of paying them should be liberalized

IN HONOR OF A CAT

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 In Albany the other day there was a solemn funeral. It was at tended by friends of the deceased, although his relatives could not be located. The friends of years saw to it that every. nautical funeral honor was bestowed. The deceased was a cat who had only one name and that was Bum. For more than 10 years he had been a pas senger on the Hudson River Night line boats plying between New York and Albany.
 His friends gave him Q fine funeral. "Bum's" body had been placed in a small wooden box, draped in the house flag of the boat line after the impressive ceremonies 1t was lowered in-. to the river. Such Q funeral for q cat Is far finer than many mortals receive. But "1um" was c good com panion. When he went the way of all flesh his friends wanted him properly put away. For Q cat can be as good company as dog. The difference 10 not in the nature of the animals. but in the nature of men. Bum" happened to nt in right with the boat hands. He was q good companion, the sharer Of many griefs from his friends. Now that he is no more they mourn hig demiso.

THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
(Hartford, 'Times)

MAGE S404 o ASAASoI With appropriate ceremonies. re- ligious and social, and with Cover nor Cross attending the Golden jubilee year of the Knights of Co., lumbus was celebrated at Water bury, Saturday. and in honor, par ticularly, of Reverend Michael J. Nc cGivney, who was born in Water bury, August 12, 1852. This famous Roman Catholic fraternal and benevolent society was founded by Father McGivney, at New Haven, in February, 1882, to render pe- cuniary aid to its members and their benef1ciaries, to assist it's sick and disabled members, and to pro- mote mutual social and intellectual intercourse. A generation after its founding the society had more than 100000 members, of whom more than 100000 were insured with benefit certificates in force amount ing to $112,000,000. Since then membership and insurance have greatly increased. It has an enroll ment of nearly 600,000 to-day, hav- ing headquarters at New Haven, and organized in every state of the United States, in every province of the Dominion of Cenada, in Cuba, Porto Rico, Newfoundland, the Philippine Islands, and Alaska.
 Father McGivney's work has had a remarkable fruitage, exerting an extremely important influence upon the Catholic manhood of America. protecting thousands financially and strengthening the moral tone of American society.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-15

J. Henry Roraback chairman of the state central republican committee, was in jocu lar mood when he received the news of the Maine election. How he remained SO long enough to issue the following public state ment is more than we can understand. At any rate here is what he said: "Of course do not rejoice at the news from Maine. Still, I think the result is kindly warning to the republicans of the rest of the country to get busy. have no doubt if the republicans get busy that they can carry Connecticut and reelect President Hoover :" But if the republicans don't get busy Connecticut and the rest of the country will go democratic That's the only alternative we can surmise from this statement. And it should be q warning to the democrats of Connecticut as well as the rest of the country to get busy. With little effort states that weren't as doubtful as Maine can record more protests against republican rule which has been far from satisfactory in the final analysis. As to Maine's turn-about procedure being a kindly warning we'd hate to get such and regard it as kindly. To our way of thinking it was an abrupt check. It should have convinced republicans that they must change their taeties'if they intend to remain as rulers of the nation.
