PROTEST AGAINST
PER CAPITA TAX
MOVEMENT STARTS IN FARGO TO
BLOCK EFFORT TO PLACE TAX
OF sto ON IMMIGRANTs-R'NAI
BIRTH TAKES THE INITIATIVE
IN MATTER.

Holding that any effort of congress
to establish a per capita tax of $40
on immigrants, is diametrically ad-
verse TO the principles on which the
United States government was round
ed, a protest was telegraphed by the
Fargo lodge B'nai Birth, to every
member OF the North Dakota delega-
tion in the national lawmalSing body
and campaign was started to kill
the recommendation OF the ways and
means committee, where the PROPOSE
tion originated.
The protests were clicked over the
wires, after mass meeting was held
at Union hall last evening. While the
meeting was held under. the auspices
OF the Bnai Birth lodge. the move
ment will not be confined to that body
by any means. There was large
representation present at the meeting
and the greatest interst was shown.
1t is cited that in times OF revolution
and persecution in Europe that the
per capita tax would be working a
hardship, for all that many escape
with is their lives. The United States
is free country In every sense OF the
word is the argument.
A petition has been started and viii
be circulated among the business men
of the city. On account OF the fact
that the only B'nai Birth lodge in
North Dakota Is located in Fargo,
petitions will be radlated from this
city to other points. to eventually be
sent to the North Dakota men at
Washington.
The movement that has been started
here Is similar to that in every section
Of the country. Petitions are now be-
ing circulated everywhere that there
is a B'nai Birth lodge and it Is esti-
mated that millions OF names will he
attached to the petitions when they
are finally sent to Washington.

The presentation Of emblen1s for
regularity Of attendance TO the mem
bers OF the boy leaders corps of the
Y. M. c. A. gymnasium brings out an
interesting detail of the work that il
being done by the boys at the gym"
Some of the classes Of boys at the
gymnasium are composed of such a
large number OF boys that it is abso-
lutely impossible for the physical di-
rector to give each boy his continuous
attention while they are using the
apparatus in the gymnasium work.
The classes are therefore divided up
into squads and over these squads
leaders are appointed to give this in
dividual instruction and to show the
other boys OF the class how to use the
apparatus. These leaders meet once
a week at the gymnasium and receive
special instruction In theory and
practice" from Mr.. Harrison, and when
their respective classes meet they are
given charge of squad. In this way
several squads may be working on
different apparatus in the gymnasium
at the same time.
The leaders, during the past year,
have done excellent work, the organ
ization has been effective and the boys
have proved that they were efficient
and capable.
Leaders were today presented with
an emblem consisting OF a triangle
and a bar, the bar denoting one years
service.

sented with these emplems: Junior
