Monday treasury officials prepared
orders for the issuance Of clearing
house certificates to be used as scrip
during the holiday and Roosevelt and
his advisors shaped an emergency
legislative program to be presented
TO congress in special session Thurs
day.
support Of President Roosevelt's
banking proclamation was shown
Monday by the conference Of state
governors and q committee was
named to draft q resolution express

A quick succession Of events with

white house Sunday as Roosevelt

situation called for such bold action.
First he met with his cabinet and

:amation convening congress into
special session at noon Thursday fol-
lowed. Close to midnight came the
second proclamation, declaring q
banking holiday.
Still ON Gold Standard
Secretary Woodin Of the treasury
was emphatic in his assertion that
the presidents action In suspending
banking business did not take the
United States off the gold standard.
Some financial authorities raised
this question, but most agreed 1t was
without merit inasmuch as the meas
ure was decidedly temporary IN ef-
feet.
Woodin indicated that the cash
windows Of the treasury would be
closed through the holiday and with
the federal reserve banks closed also
all redemption Of the currency In
gold would be stopped completely.
The holiday was declared under
the ading-with-the.ene act pass
ed IN 1917. It can b extended Il
necessary II congress has not put
through the emergency legislatton BY
Friday morning.
In the proclamation Roosevelt en-
powered Secretary Woodin to direct,
require or permit" the issuance Of
clearing house certificates. Officials
were at the treasury until an early
hour Monday morning to work out
such q plan to keep the channels Of
exchange open and insure the ord
erly conduct Of business.
The proclamation cited "heavy and
widespread Withdrawals Of gold and
currency from our banking institu-
tions for the purpose OF boarding

Notifications Listed
Notifications placed upon the holi-
day would permit any bank that can
gain the permission Of the govern
ment to stay open and conduct its
business as usual and accept new de-
posits to be placed in trust accounts
subject to full withdrawal.
Persons close to President Roose-
velt said that he realized days ago
that he might have to act at once
and that he already had familiarized
himself with the 1917 wartime law
under which he proceeded.
Ogden L. Mills, secretary Of the
treasury until Saturday, and his as
sistants worked hand in hand will,
Woodin to put the clearing house
certificates into effect and give ad-
vice. Woodin said Sunday night that
the machinery for this purpose had
not been perfected sufficiently to
make it clear whether they would be
uniform all over the country or vary
from state to state or from district
to district according to the federal
reserve system.
Woodin termed RooSevelts action q
definite start from the bottom up,
adding:
The people Of the United States
have courage. II they will have con-
ftdence now we will get out of our
trouble rapidly"
Osborne G. Wood, adjutant general
OF New Mexico. said last night Gov
ernor Seligman would apply to
Woodin Monday for permission to
open banks in that state. They were
due to open Monday.

ARGUMENT HEATED
AS HOUSE ACTS ON
IMPORTANT Bills
Sales Tax In Snag; Bank Re-
ceiver and Motor Vehicle
Laws Passed

ok CNapUeIS OF CIl1S Se6SlO0S le8lS~
lative history were written in the
North Dakota house Of representa-
tives during Saturdays session.
OF major importance was the un-
certain predicament Of the sales tax
bill, suddenly snagged In parliament
tary procedure as the speaker an
nounced It had been Illegally
passed."
Then there were two measures
passed relating to banking, both fol-
lowing close on the heels Of Gov
crnor William Langer's proclamation
"a bank holiday. One provides for
transfer Of the work Of receiver Of
closed banks to the state examiner
ito facilitate liquidation" Of closed
institutions. The other revises laws
affecting banks and the state exam
liner.
The two other measures concerned
motor vehicles. One transfers work
of registration to the county registrar
Of deeds with proceeds to be applied
to the real estate bond payment fund.
The other provides for regulation Of
motor vehicle carriers.
A fifth bill passed extended tenn
porarily the period Of redemption
from mortgage foreclosures.
The sales professional service tax
struck snag after having been
passed by both the house and senate.
In the house, L. L. Twichell, majority
leader. said the bill had been passed
without a third reading although the
record showed the proper procedure
had been followed.
Have Hard Struggle
Throughout the afternoon admin
istration workers headed by w. J.
Flanagan Of Stutsman county
sought to bring the bill back from
the senate for reconsideration and
another vote. After several heated
skirmishes with Twichell, sales tax
opponent, Flanagan succeeded in
asking the senate for the bills re-
turn.
The objections Of Twichell to the
procedure centered on what he said
was previous ruling Of the speaker
requiring q two-thirds vote Of the
total membership Of the house, with
the Speaker Minnie D. Craig saying
she had made no ruling Of the sort
and later declaring that Flannigan's
motion to recall the bill had passed.
A senate bee-inspection bill appro-
priating $1,000 for the work failed
to carry with opposing house men,
bers calling attention to q death blow
dealt similar house measure.
Twichell and Dan r. Jones, Rich
land, fought over the measure pro-
viding for municipal holding COM
vanies to build auditoriums for lease
to cities at certain fixed rentals.
Backed by j. T. Nelson and w. J..
Goodwin Of Morton county as q bill
aimed to give the city Of Hebron
new auditorium, the discussions
drifted to q discussion by Jones Of
the alleged cost to the state OF q
dormitory at the agricultural college
at Fargo. built under similar plans.
Twichell disagreed with Jones' state
ments and at one point In the argu-
ment said Jones was "too dumb to
understand" the exact situation.

ENDED
Company Assured Of Having
Monopoly in District;
P. U. C. to Aid Union

With a few strokes of the
pen, President Herbert Hoover
today wrote the final chapter
of the story of more than a
decades efforts to obtain
unified system of local trac-
ton transportation when he
affixed his signature to the
merger bill.
For many years. at virtually
each session Of Congress, a bill to
merge the traction companies has
been introduced.
At the current session a bill for
this purpose met the approval Of
both House and Senate,
Given Two Years
Under provisions Of the bill, the
traction companies are given two
years in which to effect the actual
merger. Both companies already
have taken steps along this line,
and committees are to be ap-
pointed to unite them. The re-
port of these committees must be
acceptable to stockholders Of the
companies.
The bill further provides that
the merged companies may take
over the washington Rapid
Transit Company at a fair value.
A monopoly for local traction
transportation is granted to the
merged company.
Salaries of crossing policemen
and part Of the cost Of street and
bridge improvements, heretofore
borne by the traction companies,
are eliminated by the bill from
the responsibilities of the merged
company.
Must Suit r. U. C.
The principal work confronting
the two companies before the
actual merger is the arrangement
of a financial Set-up acceptable to
the Public Utilities Commission.
The companies are directed to
vest their properties and holding
in the merged company, for
which each concern win receive a
certain proportion Of stock.
The board of directors Of the
merged company, according to
provision Of the bill, must be
composed Of majority Of local
residents.
