TO ASK
TAX ON j. s. BONDS
AFTER DEPRESSION
Move Delayed Because Federal
Government Itself Must
Increase Debt

Washington, Feb. 7.-R)-President
Roosevelt has informed congressional
leaders. an authoritative source said
Thursday, that when the time is ripe
he proposes to ask legislation permit
ting the United States to tax securi-
ties Of types now tax-exempt.
The change would not apply to
securities now outstanding, 1t was said,
nor would it be suggested until the
federal government, the 48 states and
the thousands Of other political sub
divisions are out Of the depression
woods.
The treasury,s position, as expressed
before house committees last year by
Secretary Morgenthau and still APP
parently unchanged, is that taxation
Of exempt securities Is good policy
TOR the future
One reason for delay. 1t was re-
ported by q house member who pre-
ferred not to be quoted by name, was
that the federal government itself
must increase its debt over large bor-
rowings in the next fiscal year.
The attitude Of the president and
his financial advisers, this member
said, is that If the securities were taxed,
they would not sell so freely and at
as low interest rates as they now do.

CORN-HOG
PROGRAM WILL Be
LAUNCHED FEB. 13
Benefit Payments on Corn Rails.
cd Five Cents a Bushel
Under New Contracts

Members of the Burleigh county
board Of directors Of the federal corn
hog program will meet at 10 a. m. next
Wednesday at the Memorial building
to launch the 1885 program.
H. G. Lewis Of Fargo, district SUI
pervisor, will be in charge Of the
meeting. held for the purpose Of
studying the provisions Of the new
program and going over contracts,
administrative rulings and application
forms.
A series Of district educational
meetings will be held throughout the
county later in the month at which
farmers will be informed as to the
provisions of the government pro-
gram. Dates Of these meetings will
be announced later.
Several Of the changes in the sim
plified 1885 corn-hog contracts will
meet the approval of Burleigh county
farmers, in the opinion Of Martin G.
Altenburg, acting county extension
agent.
Farmers who sign will be asked to
adjust their corn and hog production
only 10 per cent below production
during the 1928 base years instead
of 20 per cent In corn and Is per cent
In hogs as was the case last year, Al
tenburg pointed out.
No Contracted Acres
Also, there will be no contracted
acres" in the new AAA contract. Con-
tracted acres will be known as shift
ed acres" and may be used for growing
any crop other than corn, for any
purpose. This year there will be no
limitation on the total area In the
farm that may be devoted to culti-
waited crops.
Benefit payments on corn have been
raised from 80 to IS cents bushel.
Benefit payments on hogs remain at
the same rate, that is, SIS per head
represented by the required adjust
ment. With the lower percentage Of
reduction, the total hog payments per
farm will be about two-fifths as large
as they were last year.
However, larger total income from
corn and hogs. including benefit pay
ments, may be expected from the
somewhat larger acreage Of corn and
production Of market hogs, Atenburg
said.
The 1885 program will again be
largely in the hands Of local farmers.
Community committees and z county
production control association win b
organized to head the program.
Each community committee viii b
re0rOanized ut q general meeting n
soon as the majority Of applications
have been received. Producers who
sign applications for q contract will
BE given q vote In the selection Of the
committee.

Belief that 100000 q year will be
saved to consumers Of electricity. gas

vestigation recently ordered by the
state railroad board was expressed
Wednesday by Ben G. Larkin. board

Examination Of the reports filed

close that the company has been
making q net return Of more than
100000 above the amount which
would be represented by 6 per cent on
its investment, Larkin said.
Elmer Cart, another member of the
board, said examination Of the COM
pany's reports for the last four years
shows an excess profit of $ol8,O74.05
during that period after allowing four
per cent for depreciation. The com.
mission figures six per cent on the ac-
tual investment as q fair return.
Emphasizing that the committee has
has no intention to harrass any util-
ity company and Is sympathetic to-

Germs, Larkin said the object Of the
commission would be to establish fair

IArkin also indicated that the COM
mission will ask the legislature for

its hands for the work to be done.
Under the present law the COM

TO punish
SATIRE FORECAST
Legislature Hears Talk Of Re-
moving Legal Chief From
industrial Board

Possibility that an effort would be
made to punish Attorney General p.
Q. Satire for his refusal to accept
orders from william LANCER. convict
ed governor. was rumored Thursday
in legislative circles.
The reported scheme was one to re-
vamp the state industrial commission
by supplanting the attorney general
with the insurance commissioner,
now Harold Hopton.
Opposition to Satire dates back to
last summer when he refused to ap-
prove payment by the state mill and
elevator to The Leader, political news
paper, Of money for advertising which
had not yet been published.
It was further strengthened recently
when Satire ruled that impeachment
proceedings, begun by the house
against Governor Thomas H. Noodle,
were incomplete and that Noodle
should retain the office until they
were completed.
Indications were that the proposal
would die . bornins. since Satire Is
believed to b fairly close to Governor
walter Wexford. who succeeded Moo
die. It also was suggested that Hop
ton might prove just - distasteful to
LANCER . Satire now 4, since he has
shown little disposition to take orders
from non.o3ficial sources.
The present third member Of the
commission Is Theodore Marital, CON.
missioner Of agriculture and labor, He
also u said 70 have shown . marked
tendency to follow his own judgment
In the discharge Of his official duties.
The industrial commission controls
the state mill and elevator and the
Bank Of North Dakota.
Even Il introduced and passed BY
the house. Legislative Observers gave
the measure little chance TO pass the
senate end also foresaw the possibility
that It might Be vetoed BY wexford II

Changes in laws regulating bank
