Tax Board Unconstitutional.

Fargo. N. D., Jan. 4.-Judge Pollock
of the district court has handed down
a decision by which he declares the
law creating the North Dakota State
Tax Commission is unconstitutional.
Provisions in the law which give the.
commission power to step in and over
rule authority of the local assessing of.
ficials are deemed by Judge Pollock as
being in controversy with q section of
the constitution which provides that
property shall be assessed in the coun.
ty, city, township, town or village in
which it is located. Judge Pollock's
decision grows out Of an action
launched by the tax commission to
compel Cass county officials to certify
to the assessment of public utilities
in Fargo on basis fixed by the tax
commission. This the county authoct.
ties refused to do.

Il. Pleased Him..


You never know what child will
do, next" remarked mother last
week. Recently, for instance, I
bought some toothpowder highly ia.
vored with wintergreen and gave, it
to my eldest boy, Charlie, who is ten.
I've been having, trouble in getting
Charlie to clean his teeth properly
and thought the new powder, becaus,
of its intense flavor, might encourage
him.
"a couple of weeks later noticed
that lot of the new toothpowder was
gone. Feeling much pleased, 1 said to
Charlie: How is the new powder
doing? Is it keeping your teeth nice
and clean?'
"'1 don't know was the reply.
Don't know-haven't you been
cleaning your teeth every day with It?
Most of it's gone.'
"'sure it's gone. I've been. eating

information received here by F. p.

AGREE TO CHANGES IN RULES
House and Senate Committees ADOPT
Plan As Outlined in House Of
Representatives.

Bismarck.-The joint rules commit
tee of the house and senate reached
an agreement with respect to the pro.
rosal for extensive rules changes. The
plan outlined by the house committee
was agreed upon by the joint COM
mittee.
The rules reforms are in line with
those advocated by Representative A.
G. Divet, of Richland county, and aim
toward bringing about the more order
ly consideration of business.
twenty-five days; general bills to thir-
ty-five days and provide for automatic
reports of bills from house commit
tees, limiting consideration to seven
days, except by special permission.
Representative Mcclellan introduce
ed a resolution with respect to a re-
vision of the code. In his resolution
Mcclellan says the revised code of
1913 fails to carry all laws of the
state.
1t is contended that many laws of
the last three sessions have been drop
ped in revision, and that the code.
which now carries the official o. X. of
the state is not really authentic.
Speaker Hanson referred the resolu.
ton to the judiciary committee for
consideration.
Mcclellan proposes that joint inves.
tigation by the senate and house judi.
ciary committees be made to deter.
mine If the code should be accepted
by the state.
Several important bills saw the light
of day during the brief sessions OF
both bodies.

Firemen Are Kept Busy.

Grand Forks.-Three small bfazes
were promptly extinguished by means
of quick work on the part of the Grand
Forks fire department. The first call
received by the department came at
10 O'Clock in the morning from the
home of Joseph McKinnon, $40 North
Seventh street, where the chimney
had become ignited. This was extin-
guished without difficulty. Hardly
had the firemen returned to the en-
CINE house, when they were summon
ed to the residence of Peter Boese,
I'LL North Fifth street, where fire
had been started in the basement, as
the result of an effort to thaw out q
frozen water pipe. This blaze was
also extinguished before any serious
damage had been done. The last call
came at o'clock in the evening from
the residence Of Mrs. Dora Franklin,
1918 Dell avenue, where another Chin
ney fire had broken out. This was
also quickly "put out of business" by
the fire fighters.

 This assertion by Rev. John M. Dr. Moore was one of several speak orously applauded today at the na- tional conference of the Commission on Church and Country Life. Rev.
