authorize but one commissioner, and
provides that the governor and state
treasurer shall act with this official
in an administrative capacity.
The purpose of this bill is not only
to cut down the expenses Of the de-
partment, but to place responsibility
for tax conditions upon constitutional
officers who can be reached by the
people.
North Dakota recognized the i'm
portance of this in it's organic law by
providing for a board of equalization,
which even now is supreme in taxa
ton matters.
If the one man tax commission bill
is passed, North Dakota will not only
save money, but it will bring the va
rious taxing officials Of the state into
complete harmony of action.
The fact that many states have a
commission of three men is not an
unanswerable argument in favor of
that system. A few years ago states
went mad over the first and second
choice feature Of the primary law,
another Wisconsin idea. North Da-
kota, in common with some other
states, repealed this feature of the
law as quickly as it could when it
saw how %viciously the proposition
worked out. So no law is perfect in
its application.
Putting aside all personal prejudice
that may have accrued to the disad-
vantage of the present tax commits
sion, the law should be wiped off the
statute books as a matter of economy
and good business management. The
state board of equalization in the fin
al analysis is the determining factor
in taxation matters.
One tax commissioner with a sec
rotary and one or two office assist
ants can work up the taxation rec
ords for the consideration Of the state
board of equalization as we'll as three
men.
Not one bill drawn by the present
tax commission has passed the legis.
lature. Even the friends of that com.
mission we're unable to stand behind
the bills, so faulty were they drawn,
so vague were their terms and so out
Of harmony with the other statutes of
the state were their provisions.
This surely is proof of the inefti.
cheney of the present commission.
The commission has had every oppor.
tunity to frame legislation, but not
one bill was drawn that even could
survive the analysis of a legislative
committee.
Surely the legislators are not going
to let petty politics stand in the way
of cutting out this waste and putting
the administration Of our taxation
matters upon a common sense basis.
Every opportunity has been given
the commission to prove its useful.
ness. The press of the state has been
%singularly free from unfair criticim
of the tax commission. None of the
papers has had to 60 outside of the
facts to prove that this commission
has failed lamentably and that the
necessity of a three>man commission
does no exist in this state.
In view of the fine work the house
has done in pruning appropriations
through the work of the Lathrop com.
mittee, it is to be hoped that it will
put the proper climax on this session
by abolishing the three-man tax COM
mission.

VOTE FAVORs uDGE

FULLY INDICATED.

Action of the board of control in
reference to the jamestown buildings
has been thoroughly justified by the
members of the legislature through
the special report Of a joint investi-
eating committee of the house and
senate.
No one but a few ~disgruntled peo-
pie at jamestown. headed by the "ac-
cuers." Knauf, Seller and Buck. be-
lieved that any other report would
be found. The members of the board
Of control are men whose personal
reputation is sufficient guarantee
against even the whisper of graft or
bf dishonesty.
The report we'll states:
There is nothing in the evil
dence taken by the committee or
in tie circumstances surrounding
all the transactions to Justify any
inference of fraud, graft or intent
to deal dishonesty with the
state"
There is no need Of going further
into the report. Those who have
been m%aligning the board have been
answered completely. The Rott
charges and the later ones filed by
The "a ccusurs" of jamestown fall by
their own weight.
After weeks Of investigation, six
members Of the legislature could find
nothing that indicated the board has
done anything wrong. The report is
a distinct triumph for the admins
tration.
There has never been the least pos
sable doubt but that the board would
receive a clean bill of health. While
Tie charges were pending, the senate
confirmed the reappointment of the
present board. The legislature also
gave the board of control a vote of
confidence when it passed a bill plac.
ing another institution, the state cap
itol building, under the management
of the board.
Whenever the opportunity present,
ed itself, the legislature was not tar,
dy in showing it's appreciation of the
excellent work the board has done.
The charges, which were conceived
in malice, are now thrown back into
the teeth of the "a%ccusers.'
Another legislative investigation
has ended without leaving ever a
scar upon the Hanna administration.
While certain criticisms are made
relative to the judgment of the board
and the administration of the James
town institution, they are of such a
nature that the members of the board
cannot take offense.
No board is infallible. An investi-
cation Of any department of the state
Will disclose features of administra-
ton that might be improved upon.
II SOM good suggestion is made by
tho committee it should be followed
out.
The Tribune believes the commit
tee acted in the spirit of fairness.
While the haste with which the mem.
bers were forced to make the investi.
CATION may have resulted in some er.
roneous conclusions, the report in the
main is fair to the board and to the
administration.

RUSS AND GERMAN
LINES ENGAGE IN
BRISK FISTICUFFS

CAssociatcd Press Correspondenoe.)
P%etrograd, Jan. t6.-German and
Russian troops came 90 nsticums on
the Polish front recently, according
to dispatches received here.
a Russian aviator. having com-
pleted a reconnaissance over the
German iin@, was returning to tho
Russian position when he found his
supply OF gasoline suddenly cut off
by a German bullet. which had gone
squarely through the feed pipe. This
forced him TO plane down, and he
had to land about half way between
the opposing trenches.
The Germans stopped shooting,
thinking the prize was secured, and
wishing not To damage the valuable
machine further. They rushed out
ompty-handed 60 bring In the aero
plane. 4 party OF Russians did the
same. and the two groups found
themselves facing each other. both
unarmed. A hearty fight with fists
for possession OF the machine fol-
lowed. The Russians came under
the fire of the sharpshooters IN the
German trenches. and suffered some
Losses. but got their %aeroplane back
10 safety.
