TAX COMMISSION
Urges Many Changes i'm the Laws
Governing Taxation.

Pierre, Nov. 1.-THE members of
the tax commission have formulated
a new taxation code, to be presented
to the next legislature, in which the
general theme Is to give more power
to the commission and to the state
legislature in taxation matters. In
order to bring about the proposed
changes it will be necessary to Sc
cure the adoption of several constitu-
tional amendments and the attitude
Of the voters in the recent election
is not encouraging on that point.
The commission would have Sec
tion II, article 6 read as follows
mo tax or duty shall be imposed
without the consent of the people OF
their representatives in the legisla-
ture." This change would give the
legislature unrestricted authority un-
der the rights granted to their rep
resentatives in the legislature"
A recommendation is made for
change in section 2 of article IL, re
lating to classiications for taxation
purposes. The intent of the change
in this section is to remove presen'
| constitutional restrictions and Civ,
more authority to the legislature ant
the tax commission.
The proposed code recommend
| striking out all of section 7, article
Z, which provides that all county
township and district officers shall
be elective, except school\ officers
! The stated purpose of this recon
mendation is to permit of makin'
| county assessors appointive by tn
| county commissioners.
w. G. Preston, a member of thu
tax commission, and n of tn
| states able lawyers, was assigned t.
| the work of the new taxation cod
| and has spent several months in pre-
| pairing the report.

Storz created considerable comment
when the wedding, which vas almost
clandestine, occurred two and a half
years ago. Miss Storz met Lody
while on a our of Germany and 9TH
er European countries. She lived
with him but a few months, when
they separated. Lody returned to
Europe and his wife sued for divorce.
He returned and secured counsel to
oppose the suit, but later decided
not to contest it and soon afterwards
left the city.
Lody has not been heard from by
the Storz family since he sailed for
Europe shortly after the decree of
divorce was granted.

Minot, N. D., Nov. 12.-Roy Tor
gerson went to his death on the back
of a steer in the Missouri river near
Garrison, shouting to Miss Jessie
Evans of Garrison. whose life he had
just saved.

from death when she was attacked
by the steer. In driving the animal
off, Torgerson's foot became entan-
gled in a rope around the steers
head. He was carried into the Mis-
souri, river when the steer dashed
over a 20-foot bluff into the water.
When Miss Evans reached the
river bank, Torgerson had succeeded
in mounting the m~addened steer. A
moment later Torgerson and the an
imal were sucked into a whirlpool
and drowned.
Torgerson was riding across the
country and left Minot only a few
days ago to continue his journey to
San Francisco.
