Mr. Roosevelt vii sod q message
TO congress - soon - h uaootg At
noon Monday, presumably setttng
forth his views on those subjects.
Many members expressed doubt that
even half his program could be COM
pleted during the special ssssion.
70 Adjourn for Holidays
The senate and house win inset
until the Christmas holidays and then
adjourn until the regular 1898 ses-
sion begins on Jan. ;. Tax revision
probably will hold over until that
time. - will revision Of tho anti
trust laws.
Although the house may b able
to begin consideration Of the farm
bill early next week, 1t appeared that
differences expected to arise between
1t and the senate might prevent early
enactment.
The house agriculture committee
agreed informally Friday to discard
demands for arbitrary marketing
quotas for wheat, cotton and rice
which farmers could approve or re-
ject. It tacitly approved quotas for
tobacco but deferred q decision on
corn. ~@~.
Secretary Wallace sent three high
AAA officials to the committee Sat
urday to insist on compulsory con-
troll for corn.
Claude r. Wickard, director OF the
rorth central region Of the AAA, said
such control was much more neces-
sary for corn" than any Of the other
basic commodities.
In the face Of presidential demands
that congress provide additional tax
revenue to finance the new program,
the house committee shunted to the
house ways and means committee the
responsibility for finding about $780,
100000 which most experts say will
be required. M'#
Seek TO Combine Bills
Some farm members in the house
contended the presidents wishes
could be carried out most expedi-
tiously by combining authorization
for increased benefits with . tax bill.

SATIRE ASKS HIGH
COURT TO DISMISS
n. D. LEVY CONTEST
Answer to Taxpayers Petition
Declares Initiated Measure
10 Unconstitutional

Declaring the initiated measure
fixing the basis for taxation at 50
per cent Of its full and true value Is
unconstitutional and void, Attorney
General P. o. Sattre Saturday asked
the state supreme court for dismissal
o: q petition seeking Q reduction Of
FL mills In the state tax levy.
sathre's answer for the state board
CT equalization to petition for IN
original writ Of mandamus seeking
to have the 1887 state levy confined
to four mills plus levy for interest
on state bonds was given In the state
supreme court Saturday.
Taxpayers Petition
Upon petition Of seven Taxpayers,
directors Of the North Dakota Tax
payers association, the supreme court
recently assumed Jurisdiction In the
case and ordered the board Of equal
ization to show cause why the levy
should not be reduced from 6.l0 to
4 mills.
In his answer, sathre declared the
limitation imposed by section l4 Of
the state constitutions providing for
limitation Of the levy, exclusive Of
interest on the public debt, may not
exceed four mills-is applicable only
to the annual expenses Of the state
government.
That section has no application TO
the. bonds referred 70 In the petition
ers' petition, as mill and elevator con-
struction bond, real estate bonds and
milling bonds, he said, adding, "k-
suance Of these bonds Is authorised By
section 1872 Of the constitution q
amended in March, 1924"
Not True value
The respondents allege that 9l7l,-
s63, ,4o5 Is not the full and true value
Of the taxable property Of North Da-
kota.
This valuation was computed under
the provision Of the initiated meas
ure, enacted June -, 1882. which pro-
vides that property subject to . gen.
eral property tax Be valued and a.
sessed at 50 per cent Of the full and
true value thereof, Sathre explained.
The respondents allege that the ini-
tiated measure Is Unconstitutional
and void, and In contravention Of Sec
ton l74 OF the constitution and that
the full and true value Of all the tax
able property Of the state Of North
Dakota for the year 1887 Is twice the
amount Of 947l ,e63. .405."

in 1881. Bonds for the states in
debtedness were falling due, and
although provision had been made
for these obligations at the regular
session, a ruling of the state SUI
preme court had made that legis-
lation invalid.
Van SAINT Divided Session
Governor Samuel Van SAINT in
1902 cut the regular session short
because a tax committee was pre-
pairing more efficient tax laws, and
it's report was not ready. When the
report was completed the legisla-
ture reconvened and passed the
laws without additional expense to
the state.
In 1912 Governor A. o. Eber-
hart called an extra session to
meet the demands for a statewide
primary law, to pass an effective
corrupt practice act, and a reap
portionment law.
The world war in 1917 brought an
extra session in order that the boys
in the army would not lose their
voting franchise. j. A. A. Burn
quist was governor at the time.
In 1919, the woman's suffrage
amendment, and a bonus for ex-
service men, and forest fire relief
prompted Governor Burnquist to
call another extra meeting Of the
legislature.
Olson called Two Sessions
Governor Olson called two extra
sessions, the first in 1888 to meet
relief and liquor problems. Repeal
Of the 18th amendment had made
new legislation on liquor control
imperative.
In 1885 Governor Olson called
the second session so the state
could prepare social security pro-
gram to conform with the social
security legislation which had just
been passed in Washington.
A special session was called by
Hjalmer Peterson during his short
reign last year. In order to get the
federal subsidy on social security,
the state had to meet certain re-
quirements before Dec. 81, 1896.
Present Session Different
Never in the history of Minneso-
ia, however until the last session,
had 1t been necessary to hold a
special session because Of violent
disagreement among the members
of the legislature. The tax levy had
always been made through compro-
mise in the regular session.
Why should it be so difficult to
compromise in 1887?

Nine Special Sessions

Nine Special Sessions
The special session Of the legisla-
ture which opened Monday Is the
first in the history of Minnesota to
be called for setting the tax levy,
Nine other extra sessions have

to meet unexpected emergencies.
According to the records Of the
Minnesota historical society, the
first extra meeting was called in
1862 by Governor Alexander Ram
sey in order to meet the problems
Of the civil war. A call for 600. 1000
men to aid the Union forces had
been issued by President Lincoln
Enlistments had left the frontiers
inadequately protected and Indian
outbreaks were numerous.
The second extra session was
called by Governor J. s. Pillsbury

Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutson

The Supreme Court Situation
Two events Of outstanding i'm
portance in their influence on the
Presidents demand that the Su-
preme Court be enlarged to fifteen
justices happened last week-one,
the refusal Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee to make a favorable re-
port on the Presidents court bill,
and the resignation Of Associate
Justice Van Devanter, who has
been counted one Of the more con-
sentative judges. Both Of these
important events have served to
put damper on the Presidents
proposal and I would not be at
all surprised If they will become
the deciding factors.
His retirement will give the
President an opportunity to name
a justice of his own complexion
to fill the vacancy, which will
transform the court from a con.
sentative to a liberal body. Then,
too, 1t is expected that at least one
more conservative justice will
shortly present his resignation to
the President. That would give the
President an assured majority of
the court. What more can he ask
for?
It Is beginning to look to me
as though President Roosevelt Is
determined to follow in the foot
steps of the late President Wilson
in his League Of Nations fight,
as he Is taking mo compromise
attitude in nearly all Of his must
program" President Roosevelt
should be old enough to know that
legislation is largely the result OF
