Universal Service
Washington, Dec- 3.—Undeterred
by failure to organize the house of
representatives Monday, rnembe-s of
that body fed 316 bills into the house*
hopper.
Of this number, 113 provider for
the erection or improvement of public
buildings, seven for relief of agri
cultural interests, live for amend
ments to the judicial code, four for
amendment of the immigration laws,
three for changes In the revenue act
of 1921, three for the exclusion of un
desirable aliens, one for loans to dis
abled veterans, one bonus bill and
one providing for the creation of fed
eral districts for local option on pro
hibition.
As usual there was a "freak" bill—
that introduced by Representative
Clarence McGregor of New York,
providing for "revenue to maintain
and encourage the breedng of canary
birds in the United States."
Representative Tincher of Kansas
contributed a bill that proposes to do
away with the railroad labor board
and bestow its functions upon the
interstate commerce commission.
"I believe,” he said, “that it is not
consistent to create one body for the
purpose of telling the railrooads how
much they can earn, and another
body to say how much they may
spend, and in what manner the shall
spend it. My bill proposes to impose
both duties on the interstate com
merce commission.”

REFUSE NEW
RAIL PROBE
I. C. C, Denies Petition to
Reconsider Physical
Value of Roads
Washington, Dec. 0. —The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
refused a demand that it reconsider
all of its work In the physical valua
tion of the country’s railroads. *
Petitions making such a demand,
presented by the national conference
of valuation of American railroads
which is headed by Cenator La Fol
ltte, of Wisconsin, wer dismissed.
The conference, whose, program
was drawn up last spring at a meet
ing In Chicago attended by western
political leaders and others, nought
to have the commission establish the
original cost of property investment
and labor in railroads as well ns
other data. All the existing valua
tion woeknf the commission was at
tacked as unsound.
The commission’s decision today
held that it was practically impos
sible to find the facts as to the ex
penditures actually made by railroads
in the period of their early history.
The commission directed that
notices of all proceedings in arriving
at valuations should hereafter be
served upon Senator La Follette for
his information as chairman of the
conference.

Republican Proposal Meet
ig at Pierre to Be
Lively Affair
Pierre, S. D.. Dec- 3. (Special) —
Although there Pi apparently a gen
eral belief over the state that tlie real
fight of the republican proposal meet
ing' to be held here on Tuesday will
be between the aiYaerents of Presi
dent Coolidge and Senator Hiram
Johnson for the presidential nomina
tion, the sentiment here at this time
is that there nre other things which
arc more potential of a real scrap.
Proposal men generally are of the
belief that endorsement of a r-n-i <\>r
Black Hills. Effort will be made not
president is of very littio inportance
after all, even though the eyes of the
nation are centered on South Dakota
just at this time. These hold that
the contest between Governor Me
M aster anil Senator Sterling for the
possibilities for one of the hottest
battles of years, while the guberna
torial situation might develop into
something very real.
It is generally conceded that real
platform.! will have to be adopted by
the parties at this convention and
that real principles instead of flow
ery pieces of litpralture must Issue
from the conventions. Tuesday will
largely be taken up considering
planks and the Indications are nom
inations will probably not be reached
until the Tuesday night.

NOMINATION
FOR SENATOR
IS PREDICTED
ft -;
Believed to Hold Safe Ma*
jority in State Proposal
Convention
BY DENNIS O’LEARY
Pierre, S. D.. Dec 3.—(Special.)—
On a careful check of voting strength
for the republican senatorial nomina
tion as made Monday owning. Gov
ernor McMaster seems to have a
slight advantage. This alignment
may be changed Tuesday through
trades on other nominations, bu( the
best posted republican leaders think
it will stand.
The republican delegates vftll rep
resent a total unit strength of 78,258
votes. A totol of 33.130 In necessary
for a choice with all present and vot
ing . It is estimated here that Gov
ernor McMaster has pledged dele
gates who represent 42,000 votes a
safe majority. Allowing for absentees
the estimated strong strength ils 38,
500 votes. There is some doubt
whether Sterling will carry the fight
through to the primary if defeated
in the proposal meeting here Tuesday.
His followers are divided on that
point.
If Sterling does not make a minor
ity fight for the primary nomination
the plan is do so without the aid of
a full minority ticket, thus escaping
the hostility of the candidates on the
regular ticket. If McMantc^r should
be defeated in the proposal meeting.
So his followers declare, he will caTy
the fight through to the primary.
Predict Gunderson Victory
The opinion is general among re
publican delegates that Carl Gunder
son will have an easy victory for tho
gubernatorial nomination- N. E.
Knight, the only opposition candle
date, has forma! headquarters here
and some followers but his candi
dacy is not taken very seriously.
Democratic and farmer-labor dele
gates have been working on fusion
plans and indications are that they
will get together on a state ticket.
Even Tom Ayres is advocating fu
sion. tentative agreement has been
made to give the gubernatorial nomi
nation to the farmer-labor party and
the senatorial nomination to the dem
ocratic party.
Some difficulty has been experi
enced in outlining a ticket satfsfac
troy to both camps. The discussion
Monday night centered about a fusion
ticket with M. P. Bates as candidate
for governor. U. S. G. Cherry as
candidate for United States senator,
Miss Alice Lorraine Daly as candi
date for congress from the second
district.
Candidate in Doubt
- That arrangement w’ould glv^ the
congressional nomination in the third
district to the democrats but the
candidate still is in doubt.
There is a fight In bot^h republican
and democratic camps over national
committeeman- J. E. Simmons of
Aberdeen entered the field against W.
E. Milligan for the republican com
mittee and did some tall trading for
a time. Milligan’s nomination seems
sure. James Coffey and a few other
old-liners have been making a fight
ngailnst the avowed candidacy of W.
W. Howes for national committee
of the democratic leaders think
Howes will win.
The delegates from South. Dakota
to the republican national convention
will be instructed for Hiratn John
son and the delegation will be headed
by Senator Peter Norbeck. There wilt
be no contesting Coolidge delegation.
The democrats will select a Mc
Adoo delegation. If the fusion ar
rangements are perfected, the farmer
ticket may carry a Ford or LaFollette
delegation to he applied in either way,
while at the same time carrying the
other nominations in harmony with
the democratic ticket.
The republican platform, as out
lined Monday night, declares for
large increases in national inheri
tance taxes, for lowering the taxes on
Incomes helot/ 110,000, for discrimi
nation of 25 per cent- in favor or
earned incomes. For lowering of na
tional taxes and for payment of sol
dier bonups. It advocaiif bn increase
of the wheat tariff to 60 cents a bus
hel and elimination of rebatet sys
temjyhich has been in vogue.
Very little interest has been shown
in state ticket nomination other than
governor. The contest for the repub
lican nomination for state superin
tendent of schools seems to have nar
rowed down to Mrs. Edith M. Deau
mont and J. W. £t. John. Fred L.
i-Oiaw. who is a candidate to succeed
himself, is said to have very little
chance. The one term incumbents
who are seeking re-nomination will
have no serious opposition- Some
political interest was created Monday
afternoon by a notice filed with the
secretary of state by R. E. Richards.
It asserts the right of Mr. Richards
as a former minority republican
candidate for governor, to assist in
organizing a minority movement at
this time. This claim is based upon
an obscure provision in the primary
law. The only point involved is the
possibility of Mr. Richards being al
lowed to upset the plans and get a
full minority republican ticket in the
field.
