Will Resume His Fight For
Uniform School Book
Legislation.

w. N. Husband. senior member OF
the Pembina county delegation to the
state legislature, reelected this year.
believes the approaching session OF
the assembly will bring out a thorough
study of the tax situation.
Mr.. Husband is spending the day in
Grand Forks on business.
Discussing the taxation problem. Mr..
Husband believes the states need is
to find more revenue. rather than to
curtail its expenditures in the up
building of it's various institutions.
North Dakota is in the construc-
ton era" said Mr.. Husband today.
I'VE cannot afford to take any back
Wafd step at this time"
There are sources, MI. Husband be.
1ieves, from which new revenue can
be obtained without increasing the
taxes of the average taxpayer of the
state.
Mr.. Husband also expects to resume
his fight for a uniform text book law.
He introduced such measure in the
assembly two years ago, but the an.
tasonistic pressure was sc great that
1t failed of enactment. While he real
ICES the same forces will again have
to be commended with in the coming
session, Mr.. Husband hopes for more
success.
Uniform text books said Mr.. Hus-
band, will eliminate the possibility
of graft to a large extent. and it will
result, in the end, in books being sold
at lower prices. Investigation has
shown that books can be provided at
q much lower cost than they are sold,
