Washington, Feb. Celebration
putting the automobile controversy
into the headlines again with criti-
cal study Of conditions in that bust
ness. MIRA prepared Saturday to
publish q report on the aluminium in

Meanwhile President Roosevelt took
the position that the auto code, un-

Labor leaders, will stand until June
16. the expiration date Of the present
MIRA. He added at his press confer
ence, late Friday. that further studies
would be made In the meantime with
q view to making any necessary cor
rections.
In renewing the code the president
did not include several recommended
lions suggested by MIRA research.
but officials held that he did not
foreclose future action. w. A. Harri-
man, MIRA administrative officer, said
it was obvious" the code would be
reviewed" before the next production
period in the fall.
The aluminium code must be re-
newed before June 16. When it was
renewed last time the president
pointed out that the MIRA study Of
the codes effect on small industry
had not been completed.
It is now finished and MIRA Is pre-
pairing to release it shortly. Small
aluminium companies have charged
that tho aluminium company Of Am
erica, in which the Melons Of Pitts
purgh are heavily interested, has
monopolized the industry. The re-
port Is to make findings on this
question.

Washington, Feb. 9.-(ReWatching
the intense struggle over the admin

lief bill, the capital heard a report Sat-
urday that President Roosevelt had
decided to take direct hand in the
fight.
Some senate circles understood that
presidential intercession to have the

While Chairman Glass d., Va

Of the bill-framing group said he un-

committee requesting that the wage
provision be eliminated on the ground
it would defeat the purposes of the
measure.
This senator was not sure his in
formation was correct, but he said he

be read to the committee when it re-
sumes consideration Of the legislation
Monday.
The amendment, pushed by Senator
McCarran 3D., New and approved by
the committee Thursday on q II to 8
vote would require the payment Of
public works wages equal to the scale
prevailing in private industry in each

The president, in his message to

Though it originally had been plan

EFFORT TOCOLLECT
PERSONAL TAXES IS
ORDERED IN COUNTY
Commissioners Find Many on
Public Payroll Are Among
Worst vioIators

Scores OF Capital City residents. in
Guiding about 200 former and pres
ent state employees, are in immediate
danger of losing varying amounts Of
their personal belongings unless de-
linquent personal property taxes are
paid at once.
A resolution passed Thursday by
the Burleigh county board of COM
missioners directed the sheriff to pro-
coed at once to collect delinquent
taxes from all persons able to pay"
in accordance with the provisions Of
the law.
The law authorizes the sheriff to
make such collections and clothes him
with the power of distraining the
property and holding it for sale in
the event the individual fails to pay.
Records at the office of the county
treasurer reveal that thousands Of
dollars Of unpaid personal property
taxes are delinquent. The delinquent
taxes are for periods Of from one to
IA years and range in amounts from
five to three hundred dollars.
Farmers Pay Up Well
In passing the resolution the COM
missioners concurred in the opinion
that "all persons working for the
state. county and city are drawing
their salary from taxes and 1t is not
fair that those who fail to pay their
taxes should receive good salary out
Of the taxes paid by others"
The commissioners pointed out that
in the last q months $32,544 have
been paid on personal property taxes
and estimated that IS per cent Of this
money was collected from farmers
who were compelled to pay the taxes
before they could negotiate loans
from the government.
The order to proceed with the COL
lections was transmitted to Sheriff
Fred Anstrom Saturday. Commits
sioner w. F. Cameron introduced the
resolution and 1t was passed unani-
mously.
Text Of Resolution
The resolution reads:
Whereas, the records In the office
OF the county treasurer disclose and
show that there are thousands Of
dollars Of delinquent unpaid personal
property taxes In the county Of Bur-
leigh and especially in the City Of
Bismarck. N. D., and
Whereas. much Of these taxes are
for prior years and due from per-
sons working for the state, county

that q measure before the legislature

Roosevelt and Attorney Gene q l
Cummings mapped out a program Of
action in event OF an adverse gold
decision by the supreme court In q
two-hour conference Saturday.
Washington, Feb. 9.-(P)-The long
suspense over the gold clause cases
appeared to be near an end Saturday
as all surface indications led observ-
ers to believe the supreme court prob
ably would announce its decision Mon
day.
New York, Feb. 9.-F-Wall Street
has come to the end Of another week
Of waiting for the gold decision in a
much calmer frame Of mind.
This Is not to say that the financial
community is any less intent than
previously on the momentous decision
of the supreme court as to the con-
stitutionality of the governments
seizure of all gold in the country, or
its abrogation Of both its own and
private contracts to pay in gold dol
lars of specific weight and fineness or
their equivalent.
But after mature consideration of
the problem, several important quar-
tiers in Wall 0t4eet have come to the
conclusion that the forthcoming de-
cision will, at worst, do no more to
the nations financial nerve centers
than give them q temporary furry of
confusion.
II necessary, financial markets can
and probably will be closed until the
furry passes. Governors Of the New
York stock exchange are reliably re-
ported to favor keeping the market
open, II the decision should be made
during trading hours, with close SUI
pervision Of transactions.
Two or three weeks ago, Wall
Street let itself get worked up into
pretty bad state Of nerves over the
gold cases. Talk was heard that an
adverse decision might even bring
about return to the old dollar, worth
about $1.69 in terms of the present
dollar. But legal experts point out
that q return to the old dollar is not
involved in the cases before the court,
and that congress specifically has the
power to regulate the value Of money.
The cases involve several actions,
and obviously the decision may up
hold the government in some and re-
verse It in others.
