BONUS BILL SIDETRACKED Kcports Current Say Senator Borah Wants Political Party He Can Call His Own. ' ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Slay 31. Congress Is getting ready to pull up stakes Fri day or Saturday and leave for home or for the two national conventions. All of the senators and members of the house from Idaho, Oregon ano Washington are planning to depart for the west soon after adjournment, except possibly Representative Sin nott of Oregon, who may remain here for a few weeks. All of the house members from the three states will be candidates for re election, although only the three Ore gon members have been renominated. As there is so little pre-convention' opposition, however. It is calculatea that most of the present membership from Idaho and Washington have good prospects of being on the ballot LAWMAKERS TO QUI ml in the November election. Plumb l'lnn League Factor. 1 Of the six senators from the three I states Nugent, depnocrat, of Idaho; Chamberlain, democrat, of Oregon, , and Jones of Washington come up for re-election. All of the house mem- ' ber3 from the three states have been served with notice in the last few days through the newspapers that the Plumb Plan league proposes to oppose i their re-election. Of the three sen ators coming up, only Nugent of Idaho is free of the Plumb Plan league op position. He voted against the Esch Cummlngs railroad bill, his colleague, Senator Borah, casting the only other vote from the northwest states against the measure so much dis approved by the Plumb, planners. ' Borah docs not come up this year. " t As has been stated bfore, the heav ' !est attacks will be directed against ' Reprewentativcs McArthur of Oregon and Webster of Washington. ' Bonn IM1I Sidetracked. " The soldiers bonus. bill passed by the house Saturday appears to have been laid to rest today in the archives 1 of the senate. Senate leaders would '. not discuss the legislation, but It as apparent that there is no intention of considering it before the adjourn ment or recess, whichever it is. that is expected to come Friday or Satur day. 7 Democrats who are opposed to the bill asserted that In the event the measure were to be passed by the sen ate President Wilson would veto it on . the recommendation of ' Secretary Houston of the treasury department, -, who has revealed that he is willing to go any length to prevent either any new taxes being levied or the Issu ' c anue of any new varieties of bonds. y Wilson Relapse Rumored. - ' Washington has a well-defined ru mor today that President Wilson had . suffered a severe recurrence of his previous physical troubles, but this rumor, even if true, will be due in the regular course to be denied for sev- , eral weeks before being finally con- firmed. The rumor, however, carried with it so much detail as to cause ' genuine alarm, and If true is likely . to prove difficult of concealment. t In a political way the liveliest of discussion bears on reports of the . very earnest intention of Senator Borah of Idaho to have a political party that he can call his own. The Idaho senator, according to the most ''authentic reports, has been brooding much of late over the political situa- tion and has been telling some of his ; friends that he sees the need of an- 2 other party, declaring that its forma . ,tion is inevitable just as soon as the , ,two major parties get through with j their conventions at Chicago and Sun ' i'rancisco, respectively. .-'- Borah May Stake All. " . ' Senator Borah's attitude is taken ,. - ..-' mean that ho has abandoned the ; Ine of seeing Hiram Johnson nom , ' ted or of stepping into, the nom - ' "tion himself as a dark horse. The . V is that Senator Borah will take .i platform at Chicago, availing . i-'clf of a privilege gained through i one of the delegates from C j '. and make a speech filled with ' yilng qualities after the fashion 2 -sllio celebrated oration delivered by illlara Jennings Bryan at Chicago . ii ib:'t. no win stake his an on this Speech. Should it fail to do for him .jwhat the Bryan speech did for Mr. - Bryan on that occasion 24 years ago, ! then comes the new party. And, as an orator, the Idaho een- f ator can do wonders. Mr. Borah has ' ' been keenly disappointed in the out "come of the senate investigation of ' presidential campaign expenditures. ' In the first place, it has not borne out the reports he had made as to the ,ourco of contributions In the Leonard Wood campaign, and in the second place he never dreamed that $200,000 or more had been expended in the , interest of his candidate, Hiram John son. Had he known this. It is seri " ausly doubted that there ever would - have been an Investigation, notwith ". standing all of the entertaining fea ; turos afforded by the blindfolded chase after the elusive McAdoo boom eaid to be the real big money thing , ci mem an.

He also contended that the court decision did not wipe the party out of exist ence, but applied merely to the pri mary nominations for vacancies. The regularly renorted faction fur ther claimed a hold-over title from the state committee chosen In 1916. Wood chieftains began assembling t headquarters today with the ar rival of Major-General Wood, accom panied by Senator Moses, his eastern manager, from Washington. Almost coincident with the arrival of General Wood, the Johnson head quarters announced that Senator Johnson would arrive Thursday at noon and that a parade had been ar ranged to follow his reception at the railroad station. Mr. Hoover Doea Not Appear. Senator Harding Is expected here late this week, but the Hoover head quarters announced It was problemat ical as to whether Mr. Hoover would come to Chicago during the conven tion. Governor Lowden already Is here. Shortly after the arrival of General Wood it was announced at Wood headquarters that the meeting be tween the Wood leaders scheduled for tonight had been postponed until to morrow. At that time General Wood, William Cooper Proctor, his campaign manager; Senator Mosea, his east ern manager and Frank H. Hitchcock will decide on the' man to lead tha general's fight In the convention. General AVood stated that he was In excellent health and that the situa tion in the east looked, exceptionally bright. Some limitation of immigration but not sufficiently strict to interfere with "advantages capital naturally sees In a large foreign labor supply" was recommended today for inclusion m the party's platform by the sub committee on immigration of the re publican advisory committee. The committee declared that both the interests of capital and the de mands of labor for relief from the competition of cheap foreign labor should be considered In the -policy adopted.

It was found 40 additional chairs can bo placed in the space arranged for delegates on the' floor of the Coli seum and the other 16 will be accom modated by occupying spaces of ab sent delegates. Chairman Hays said: "In almost every case the election of these extra delegates in the var ious states ironed out bad factional differences and have made for har mony witnin the party. 1 do not want to recommend establishing troublesome precedents, -but I am suggesting a way to seat these dele gates and preserve the good accom plished in the states by their election." At headquarters' of the Hoover republican clubs It was announced Herbert Hoover would be placed in nomination by "a distinguished re publican and that the seconding speech would be made by a republi can of equal prominence.

STATE CONTROL ABSOLUTE Independent Voters Hope for De feat of "Townleyism" on Basis of History and Taxation. BY JAT THOMAS. FARGO. N. D., May 31. (Special.) The history of the organization and operation of the Non-Partisan league from .its very inception up to the present time proves conclusively that the league is founded upon the prin ciples of state socialism and that the state government of North Dakota is today under a one-man socialistic rule. The inner circle of the Non-Partisan league, from A. C. Townley down to Walter Thomas Mills, are all men who have had past public connections with the socialist party. Townley gained control of the state government of North Dakota through the organization of farmers to engage in co-operative buying and co-operative distribution of grain and financed his operations entirely from funds collected from the farmers. Executive Cowirol Obtained. The first step in politics was to obtain control of the chief executive of the state, which was accomplished by the election of Lynn J. Frazier four years ago. Frazier was nomi nated and elected on the republican ticket, but there were enough hold over state senators at that time to prevent the Non-Partisan league from gaining complete control of the state legislature. This, however, was final ly accomplished in the next election, when Frazier was re-elected and the Non-Partisan league took over all branches of state government exec utive, legislative and judicial. The constitution of the state of North Dakota was amended, chang ing the form o state government to conform to the declaration of the socialist national party, and today North Dakota has an industrial com mission, financed with $36,000,000 .of public funds, which Is authorized to establish and operate for the state any and every class of business and industry. There is no limitation on the power of this' commission. By legislative enactment . the state al ready has established the bank of North Dakota at B'smarck and honds to the extent of 817,000,000 have been authorized for projects of state own ership. Bank IVot Under Check. Under the act creating the Bank of North Dakota it Is provided that all state, county, municipal, school district and township funds must be deposited with this institution, and the aggregate of these deposit at the present time is approximately $36, 000,060. Operating under the mill and ele vator act, the state industrial com mission of North Dakota purchased an idle flour mill located in the town of Drake, for which the state paid the sum of $20,000. A blanket mort gage was then placed on this mill for $5,000,000 in order that the in dustrial commission might be able to draw on the Bank of North Da kota for additional funds to carry out other flour mill and elevator proj ects. The state bank is not required to make reports to any department of state government, is not subject to the check of any state officer and there is no sestriction upon the offi cers of the bank In the method or loaning state funds. When Attorney-Goneral Langer and the state bank examiner stepped in and took charge of the Scandinavian American bank at Fargo they found that loans had been made to the Non partisan league and somo of its sub sidiaries to the extent of about half a million dollars. The attorney-general at once Instructed the state au ditor to make an investigation of the financial condition of the Bank of North Dakota to ascertain if any state funds had been loaned to the Town ley organization. In ventilation Is Quashed. The state auditor visited the bank in the late afternoon and arranged to place checkers at work on the books of the institution the next day, but when the accountants attempted to start work the following morning they were greeted with an Injunc tion from the supreme court of the state putting a stop to the investiga tion, and from that day to this no report has been Issued showing any of the operations of the North Da kota state bank. . The effect of this supremo court injunction was to deny to the people of North Dakota the right to receive any information regarding the methods employed in handling public money. ' Following this action the. supreme court issued an order instructing the bank examiner and the attorney-general to return to the officers of the Scandinavian bank all books, letters and documents belonging to the bank. DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION' STATE AT LARGE." which were being held as evidence. Photographic copies were taken of certain letters relating to alleged il legal transactions on the part of of ficers of the bank and the originals were returned ir compliance with the orders of the court. The president of the Scandinavian-American bank was tried and convicted on the charge of issuing false statements, but the verdict of the Jury was recently aet aside by one of the district judges appointed by Governor Frazier on the grounds that the letters Introduced In evidence were obtained by the prosecutor by illegal methods. In order to give a proper under standing of the organization and op eration on the Non-Partisan league in isorin uaicota. it is necessary to refer back a number of years in the political history of the state. In 1912 the socialist party in North Dakota cast approximately 6000 votes and the national organization under took a propaganda campaign among the North Dakota farmers. Thou sands of copies of the socialist na tional organ. The Appeal to Reason, published at Girard, Kan., were cir culated throughout the farming dis tricts of the state. The farmers were engaged in a controversy with the levator and mill people over the grading of grain. The socialists took up this question and were able to widen the breach between the farm era and the mill operators. Townley Registered Socialist. It was about this time that A. C. Townley was engaged in his' flax venture near Beach, N. D. This proj ect is best summed up briefly in the vublic records of judgments against Townley and his brother, aggregat ing a grand total of $406,093.54. Fol lowing his flax failure Townley en tered actively into politics. His mem bership registration blank in the so cialist party was issued at Beach, N. D., April 11, 1916, on which date he made affidavit under oath that he was then 33 years of age and a socialist. And it was this same year that he started the Non-Partisan league with the membership of the socialist party in North Dakota as its nucleus. The bait offered to the farmer to secure his membership in the league was the pledge to establish a state owned terminal elevator. All of the other socialist projects were held in abeyance until after the Non-Partisan league had secured complete control of the state government. Townley and his organizers talked and preached state-owned grain ele vators and flour mills until they had the farmers of North Dakota think ing only in terms of state ownership of those utilities. Candidates Give Pledges. Every candidate for the legislature who received the Non-Partisan league indorsement was first required to give a written pledge agreeing to support the legislative programme of the Non-Partisan league "committee.". This pledge was required and given without any knowledge on the part of the person signing It as to the nature of the measures ho would be required to vote for when the legis lature convened. The Non-Partisan league "commit tee," composed of A. C. Townley, Wal ter Thomas Mills, a socialist speaker and former associate editor of the Appeal to Reason, and William Leinpke, an attorney of Fargo, ap peared at Bismarck with a number of bills and called the Non-Partisan league members of the legislature into secret caucus. At this caucus it developed that the Townley pro gramme consisted of single tax, the state bank act, the elevator and flour mill act, the state home owners' and builders' bill, the absent voters' law. the state investigating committee act, the state sheriff act and a number of other socialistic measures, a great many of which had never been heard of before by the members of the caucus. The majority of the bills were presented by Mills, who, by the way, is the same Walter Thomas Mills now organizing the Non-Partisan league la the state of Washington. "Committee" Bills Approved. As an illustration of the Townlev control it may be said that the se cret caucus approved every legisla tive scneme submitted by the "com mittee" and forced these bills through th legislature. in building up his political machine in North Dakota Townley has col lected approximately $4,000,000 from the farmers of that state and has also found time to extend his oper ations into the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana and Washington. He U now campaigning Minnesota by airplane for the Non-Partisan league ticket. A further idea of the socialist ten dencies of the Non-Partisan .league may be gained by examining the source from which the league organ izers are obtained. In the Appeal to Reason of May 3. 1919, the very time when the Non-Partisan league was preparing to invade the state of Washington, there appeared the fol lowing advertisement. "Wanted Reliable men who under stand economics to do organization work among farmers. Address Non partisan League Employment Bureau, St. Paul, Minn." St. Paul is the national headquar ters of the league. It is on the basis of this record, combined with the tremendous tax increase, that the independent voters of North Dakota expect to defeat Townleyism" at the polls June 30..

MENACE TO EUROPE SEEN Late Developments Held to Indi cate Struggle "With Forces of Western Civilization. BT LINCOLN EYRE. PARIS, May 31. (Special Cable.) The leaders of French opinion are alarmed at developments In the mid dle and near east, where the forces of Pan-Islamism and pan-bolshevlsm appear to be joining hands for a struggle against western civilization. A promise that the red troops will soon evacuate Enzeli. the Persian town on the Caspian sea, is contained in a wireless message of Chicherin to the Persian foreign minister which was intercepted here. Despite the promise, officials of the French for eign office regard the bolshevik land ing on the Persian coast as marking a further step in the realization of the pan-bolshevlk design to establish supremacy in Moslem countries and thereby strike a blow at western pow ers that have Interests there. Bolshevism la Feared. Pertinax, m the Echo do Paris, voices the general uneasiness felt in France. He writes: "What we see now is nothing but the continuation of a series of events in central Asia, which appear dis tined to give the Moscow rulers a really powerful means of attacking our British friends who are estab lished in India and elsewhere. This landing on the Persian coast follows on the heels of the establishment of soviet rule in Trans-Caucasia and more recently in the Aserbaijan re public" The Echo de Paris sees the real stimulus to the bolshevik advance on the Persian coast in the widespread discontent engendered among Per sians by the recent agreement be twecn the Persian ministers and the British government for the execution of the protectorate treaty of last sum mer. British Policy Blamed. "The cabinet ministers in London can today measure the mistake they committed when they left Russia to her own fate and let her slide back to the Asiatic stage of her history and of her mentality, "says Pertinax. "They washed their hands of the problem at what they believed was a small cost. They bought peace by their attitude of weakness. They forced the Russian border states into the arms of Mos cow. They built up in the Causasus a fragile barrier of chaotic republics. Let us hope the error of the Turkish peace treaty will not once more lend an impetus to this offensive against Europe." Reports indicate the Persian capital Is in a panic. All the banks have been closed.
