A deficit near 19 million now looms, with June 30 projections suggesting a 60 million shortfall, while funds for a new currency system and income tax uncertainties cloud market stability.

Testimony before the Senate lobbby committee notes Canada spends about 70 000 yearly on U S publicity to attract American farmers to the Northwest.

Lawyers face limits under interlocking directorates bill
The proposed measure bars directors or officers of corporations in certain industries from serving in an interstate railroad or public service company. Lawyers often sit as trustees or counsel for estates on equipment firms and may be blocked from both directorate and counsel roles. The act also lacks explicit exemptions for eminent lawyers in financial cases, potentially forcing them to choose between serving as counsel or as an officer. The piece questions legislative intent and cites Vic Siuerta and broader political commentary.
