Announce They Will Rule
Despite Election

Berlin, August 2.-(F)-The Ger

election. faced a situation Tuesday
resembling the days of Bismarck,
with General Kurt Won Schleicher in
the role of iron chancellor.
Chancellor Franz Won Papen, head
of the present cabinet, the power be-
hind which is the affable but decisive
Junker-G General Won Schleicher, in
formed the Associated Press Monday
night his government intended to
stay in power, defying the reichstag
If necessary.
Referring to the post-election riots
Monday which were attributed to the
national socialists and in which four
were slain, the chancellor said who
ever is found responsible for the
"regrettable events" would find the
cabinet determined to deal swiftly
and summarily with them"
DR.. Franz Bracht, dictator Of Prus-
STA under Won Papen, warned that
the limit had been reached and that
swift retribution would be melted out
to offenders.
The chancellor made it clear that
he, and the general at his back. would
continue to rule Germany without
party support. If Sundays election
had any significance" he said, 1t
was the endorsement by the Ger
man people of the governments ef-
fort to rid the country of party con-

OBSCURE ATHLETES

Los Angeles, July 29.-On the eve

there are nearly 1000 entrants. some

COLLECTIONS DROP
AND STATE FACES
MONEY STRINGENCY
Farm Loan Business Shows
Heavy Loss; Levy Neces-
sary to Pay interest
POOR CROPS ARE BLAMED
Decrease in Tax Payments
Causes Drop in Balance Of
General Fund

Failing tax collections and difficult
ties encountered by the states farm
loan business as the result of a Sue
cession of poor crops have raised the
possibility that the state government
of North Dakota will face a financial
stringency next winter.
This seems a fair conclusion as the
result Of investigation by The Tribune
of the states financial condition and
the condition of the farm loan busi-
ness, Jointly managed by the state
treasurer and the Bank of North Da-
kota.
Emphasis laid on the state finan-
cial condition by William LANCER, Re-
publican gubernatorial candidate. In
a recent appeal to a group of Nom
partisans here for action to forestail
the situation. prompted widespread
speculation. The Tribune examined
the situation in order that the public
might know the truth.
A fair conclusion seems to be that
the state is not in the dire straits
which some persons pictured although
its cash position is not as good as IL
has been at most times in the recen!
past.
The principal difficulty has arisen
because Of inability Of farmers to paw
interest and meet amortization
charges Oh state loans. The audit al
the Bank of North Dakota as of Feb
ruary 20. 1882. shows that 1t held ST.
100000 in certificates Of Indebtedness
signed by the governor and treasurer
which we're issued to pay interest on
state bonds. To this has been added
$500. 900 more to pay interest July l.
When the real estate loan system
was instituted the expectation was
that payments by borrowers would
meet the interest charges on the
bonds and provide sinking fund TO,
their retirement when due. In 1926 q
one-mill levy was made to take III
the slack which had then developed
It brought In more than 100000 and

Some Assets Frozen
Since then. however. failures to pay
have mounted. many loans have been
foreclosed and the farm loan system
now has millions Of dollars in frozen
assets.
Lack Of returns from forecIosed
loans, failure to collect on loans In

maintaining the states credit. which

it necessary for the farm loan system
to borrow in order to meet the inter-
est payment
On previous occasion. when the
real estate loan fund encountered diff
ficulty, money was taken from the
sinking fund to pay interest. but this
practice was prohibited under an &C!
passed later by the legislature.
Interest payments come due semi
annually and for the last three Pc
RODS loans have been made to raise
the money. Why this should be so

ed for something that would at least
bring a truce in arguments between
Bolivia and Paraguay, two South
American countries where u. s.. citi-
Gems have millions at stake.
Just what could be done was prob
lemitical, especially in view Of the
decision by the Paraguayan congress
to order a general mobilization Of its
armed forces.
Disturbing replies to neutral ma
tons for several days had greeted
peace moves. Paraguay said she
would not be responsible for reprisals
following the reported seizure Of some
of her forts by Bolivians. Bolivia ex-
pressed disinterest in an offer from
neutrals to investigate clashes since
June Is.
Further difficulties between the
two would be reflected in their trade
with the U. S. In 1881, Bolivia used
81, 772,172 worth of American goods
while sending only $42,975 to this
country. Paraguay's exports to the
U. S. last year were $l55,326 and her
imports $592,493.
Then, too, Americans hold some
$54 900 900 in Bolivian securi e s.
These include 1927 loan of $4,000
600 and one in 1928 for $23 ,O00, 00O
Bolivia already has defaulted on
number of her foreign loans.
There are 248 Americans in Bolivia

tion of Justice David Davis because he crawled
through knot hole and escaped in time from
this Electoral Commission?
Davis was suddenly and Unexpectedly elected
to the United States Senate by the Democrats

to disqualify him for the non-partisan job of
arbiter Of the presidency so another justice of
the Supreme Court had to be chosen to take
Davis place in the Electoral Commission.
This law said that the commission should
consist of five Senator'S five Representatives
and five justices Of the Supreme Court The Re-
publican Senate chose three Republicans and
two Democrats: the Democratic House chose
three Democrats and two Republicans: four of
the justices were named in the law, two Re-
publicans and two Democrats, and these four
were to select fifth
It was tacitly agreed that they would select
Davis, an independent; but he escaped into the
Senate before they had a chance to grab him.
Here was a predicament. There were no
other independent members of the court; all
the rest were partsans and a fifth partisan
