hence. The United States wins
without any fighting at all and the
story OF its victory is ingenious and
full of sense, humor and surprise
The other contribution on the war
is entitled Hats Off to France p II
is by Will Irwin, special correspon-

returned from Europe and the Satur-
day Evening Post has begun publish
ing her Impressions of the war and
they are extremely interesting, quite
as thrilling and much more compen-

How Circumstances Do Alter Cases!
When Carter Harrison (whose
wife recently prevailed on to cease
being mayor of Chicago) was a small
boy. he sold papers for living. This
Christmas he led movement to col
lect fund for charity by inducing
all the prominent business men of
the city who had been newsboys in
their childhood, to sell papers on
the street corners. Mr.. Harrison Is
a superbly handsome man and was
no doubt dressed elegantly but when
he held paper out and called Its
name, the millionaires stopped their
limousines and paid him fifty and
sometimes one hundred dollars in
stead of two cents for the paper.

sies' to strive to become great and

Col V. l.. Starr comes up every
Christmas to renew his subscriptions
to the Journal and he is always SO
cheerful and bright it is a pleasure
just to behold him. He does not
tell his age but he has been out of
his business harness for a good many
years and declares he is just taking
good care OF his health so he can en-
JOY life. He dresses warmly in win
ter and takes care never to get cold
although he comes down town every
day. He received at least $50 Christ
mas cards this year from all over the
United States and that proves how
many friends he has. May he con-
tinue to live so wisely and we'll that
he will never grow old no matter
how many birthdays he may have.

A statement issued today by the
department said that in view of tae

the admitted personal and official in.
tegrity of Admiral Little, the findings
merely have been disapproved with
out Being reconveyed to court.
An important sidelight upon the at.
titude of Admiral Little in his per-
formance of his duties as instructor
is given as follows:
The situation is shown By the tes-
timony of Lieutenant Moses, wherein
he stated that Rear Admiral Little
was not easy to approach and that he,
Noses, was made to feel that his oplh-
ion and recommendation would not be
preferable to Rear Admiral Little's
assistant. This attitude is further ex-
emplitied in Rear Admiral ILittle's own
testimony, wherein he refers to Lieut..
Moses representations concerning
the battery as kicks and wherein he
stated that they were kicking all the
time about one thing or another"

is QUESTIONED
B. v. Moore, Secretary of Dakota
Trust Company, Initiates
Action.
NO APPROPRIATION

Law Is Held to Be Unconstitu-

sion of Taxes.

State officials connected with the
operation OF the state bonding law
passed at the last legislature, which
act becomes effective Jan. ], 1916,
We're temporary restrained yesterday
from proceeding under the terms of
The law penGing the adjudication of
a suit brought to test the cOnstltu-
tionality of the act The action is
started by b. V. Moore OF Fargo. Sec
reary OF the Dakota Trust company.
Aubrey Lawrence is representing
Mr.. Moore and Officials restrained are
Walter c. Taylor, state insurance
commissioner; State Treasurer Steen
and State Examiner Johnson. The
case will be argued in the near future
before the supreme court.
The chief issue raised is that the
terms OF this bill causes the expendi-
ture of public moneys paid by the
petitioner in taxes for the uses and
purposes OF taxing districts in which
the petitioner enjoys no benefits or
reciprocal returns. He maintains
that every tax payer in the state is
similarly SlCuateu.
Petitioner also sets up that as an
officer and stockholder OF a company
writing indemnity bonds, this act
practically prohibits and precludes
him from engaging in certain lines, OF
the business.
1t is also set up that the act falls
to provide any method for the pay
ment of losses and defaults except
by action in the courts Of the state.
The petition also states that no
moneys have been appropriated or
are in the state treasury to pay loss.
eS. G.-. ...
The chief emphasis is laid upon the
contention that this bill will cause an
illegal diversion of taxes. That taxes
collected will be used in other dist
ricts than where the same is raised
by assessment.
It IS 'contended that the bin vio-
,ates practically every provision in
INC constitution restricting the use Of
the taxing power of the state.
The bonding bin provided for the
, creation of & department to handle
this work under the direction OF the
state insurance commissioner. Under
it the state could write bonds for all

All bonds under $4,000 paid by vii
lage, city, county or school boards
must be written by the state. If Off

panies, then they are forced under
that act to pay the premiums. This
in effect creates practical monopoly
for the state on this business with
the exception that officials rejected
by the state can furnish regular sure.
