Excavation for the new capitol

This was the private estimate Fri
day of persons in touch with Develop

Dakota's new statehouse.
The capitol commission will meet
Monday in Chicago to go over the
terms of the contract which is ex-
pected to be entered into with the
Lundoff-Bicknell company, successful
bidders on the general contract for
the building.
The prospect is that the contract

Smith, purchasing engineer for the
contractors, said in Bismarck FRIDAY
that work will begin two days after
the contract is signed.
Another purpose Of the capitol
commissioners in meeting at Chicago
Is to inspect elevators. cabinet work.
marble and other materials for the
new building and to confer with the
architects regarding them.
The conversations with the Lun-
doff-Bicknell company will cover the
questions OF terms and conditions
whereby North Dakota material men
and laborers may be properly pro-
tected.
George A. Bangs, chairman of the
commission, said Friday at Grand
Forks that his idea is to insert in the
contract a clause guaranteeing work
to North Dakotans and barring float
ing labor from the larger cities.
Smith said the superintendent for
Lundoff Bicknell on the capitol build
i ing will be j. M. Davis of Chicago,
who has handled some of the largest
work ever undertaken by the COM
pany, including the Palmolive build
ing in Chicago.
| Although no subcontracts have
been entered into. it appears that the
Wachter Transfer company will be
given the subcontract for excavating
and will be required to have three
steam shovels on the work as soon as
the subcontract is signed. Approx
mately five trucks will be used to dis
| tribute the dirt around the building
in connection with grading operations
as required by the plans. The initial
work, according to Smith. will provide
jobs for about Is men. It is expected
the eXcavating will be finished in
about three and half weeks. Sixty
thousand yards Of dirt will be moved
in that period
Smith said his company will con-
tinue the work at top speed until
winter closes in and will begin again
in the spring as early as possible
Their schedule is for q shutdown
from December to April, although
work will depend on weather condi-
tons.
The contract requires the work to
be completed in ID months and the
company expects to beat that time
handily, he said.

COMMITTEE VETOES
LANCER PROPOSALS
TO INITIATE LAWS
Definite Action Is Taken Thurs
day; NystuI to Manage
Campaign in Fall

Definite rejection of proposals by
William LANCER, Republican guberna-
torial nominee, to initiate Is meas
ures to be voted on at the November
election, was announced late Thurs
day by the Nonpartisan executive
committee.
The matter was referred to the
executive committee by q group of
Nonpartisans which LANCER called in
to session here Wednesday night. The
measures included heavier taxes on
individual and corporate incomes in
the higher brackets. revision Of the
board of administration law, taxes on
all stores with the heaviest taxes on
chain institutions, and variety of
other legislation.
Robert Larson, Minot, a member Of
the executive committee, also an
nounced that John Nystul, Fargo,
committee chairman, had agreed to
manage the Republican campaign this
fall. It was he who successfully con-
Quoted the June primary campaign
in which the Nonpartisans swept the
state for the first time in many
years.
Rejected Idea Only
John Nystul. chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee. explained the ac-
ton of the committee Friday in the
following statement:
"The committee gave careful con-
sideration to the proposals to initiate
measures to go on the ballot in No.
vember and rejected the idea. Its ac-
ton was based on the fact that the
legislature will meet in January and
will have ample time to study the
measures. The electorate already faces
| the duty of passing on six measures.
1T was our feeling that the initia-
tive privilege Is one which the public
desires to use only to cure grave
abuses and in cases of serious emer-
gency. AS members of the party
which placed the initiative clause in
the state constitution, we desire tc
use 1t only in the manner intended
by it's sponsors; that is carefully anc
sparingly.
1.-THE committee will sponsor ne
initiative measures to be voted on al
the next election and, as the consti.
tuted authority of the Nonpartisar
League, will not permit anyone tx
designate any initiated petition. nov
on the ballot or which may be Offered
in time for the next election, as 6
NonpartiSan measure.
Feel Harmony Prevails
I'm taking this stand We feel tina
we are acting in accordance with thu
wishes of the rank and file OF thu
Nonpartisan League in the June pri
mary.
I'VE have every confidence that tn,
abuses now apparent in the state gov
eminent will be considered and curet
by legislative action next winter.
when a law is initiated it require
a two thirds vote Of the legislature t,
amend it. Thus, If initiated laws be
come obsolete, 1t would be difficult II
amend them, whereas the law shoul'
at all times be adjusted to the welfar
and desires of the people. This re
quires fluidity rather than rigidity.
"Our position is based on principl
and should not be interpreted as
condemnation Of any law which !
was proposed to initiate.

BALDWINS WARNING
AT OTTAWA FARLEY
PROVES SIGNIFICANT
Tells Delegates United Kingdom
Must Not Lose Any For.
eign Trade
AMERICANS ARE PLEASED
Unstable Currency Relations
and Product Standards
Are Problems

Ottawa, Ont, July 29.-P>-Amer-
lean observers at the imperial con-
ference found hope Friday in several
major difficulties encountered by the
delegates in their attempt to increase
intra-empire trade.
The first bright spot for the Amer
leans, interested in preventing, as far
as possible, losses to U. S. foreign
trade as a result of the British nego-
tiations, came in the British proposal
made by Stanley Baldwin Thursday.
He warned the delegates OF the
dominions that the United Kingdom
could not jeopardize its trade with
other nations for new agreements
within the empire.
The two other principal difficulties
the empire representatives faced were
the problem presented by the varie-
gated and unstable relations of the
currencies of the empires various
units and the divergence Of STAN
dards of industrial products in each,
developed through custom and re-
quirements over many years.
Former Premier Baldwin pointed
out bluntly that Great Britain still
has to depend on non-empire coun-
tries for the sale Of more than half
her own products and this was look
ed upon as warning that the moth
err country could not be expected to
give up these foreign markets except
in direct ratio to the dominions
wi. gness to replace them.
Canadian industries, however, have
cautioned Premier Bennett not to be
too lenient" in subjecting domestic
industry to British competition. sc
the problem became choice between
protection for the home manufac.
turers in Canada and the desirable
ity of preference duties on British
goods.
Considering the problem of 8
stabilized intra-empire currency, the
conference committee on monetary
and financial questions heard thai
the pound sterling dropped two cent.
Thursday as result of heavy pur.
chases of the American dollar to pay
for stocks and bonds in the New Yorl
market. The committee voted Il
