Adooted Last Day,


This report was adop:nl and upon
the very last day of the session tGe
bill was passed in 10Th houses. This
is simple chapter from the history
of the bill as disclosed by The public
records, of which this this court can
take judicial notice. Section rs OF
the state constitution reads as fol.
lows: No tax shall he levied except
in Pursuance of lay, and every law
imposing 3. tax shall stole distinctly
the object of the same, to which only
it shall be applied In State V. Klecr-
zen. 8 N. D. 2S6, IS N. w. 9S4, Is Am.
Cr. Rep. 924, and at page 291 Of the
state report, it is said All taxes,
whether state, county, city or school,
are paid into the county treasury;
s. +" " but the disposition to be
made of the proceeds Of taxes When
collected depends wholly upon the
terms of the law under which each
is levied and collected. In this re-.
spect the statute in question is wlol.
ly silent. The provisions of Section
n75 of the state constitution are clear
and unambiguous and the same are
mandatory upon the legislature anG
hence we are compelled to hold that
the statute Is repugnant to the con.
sttutiOn.
Action Deliberate. ...
Every word quoted applied with
equal force to Chapter 255 as nntilat.
ed by its enemies. There is no doubt
that the author of the amendment
was familiar with said decision ana
deliberately rendered the bill uncon.
stitutional. Whether he succeeded in
settling the lawsuit, which throws it's
dark shadow over4Section four of the
bill, as passed, we do not know.
"The facts recited make it plain
that the law, clearly violated Section
Its of the constitution and the writ
of prohibition must issue.
1--WE might add in passing that the
attempt to attach an emergency
clause to Chapter 255, s. L. 1915, was
in contravention Of the Initiative and
Referendum amendment to the state
constitution and that said law, even
If constitutional, would NOT have ap-
piled to tae taxes which were at.
tempted to be collected" r
Senator Englund, now state bank
examiner, made q heroic effort to
block this bill because 1t was intend.
ed to adjudicate certain taxes of a
leading Kenmare capitalist with
whom the senator was not on very
friendly terms.
The closing hours Of the senate saw
a vigorous fight, but Senator Eng
lund could rally no support and the
bill was passed with the committee
recommendations.
There is another significant clause
in the opinion:
while the Tax dmmission MAY
HAVE jurisdiction Of the subject OF
taxation. they are nevertheless gov
erned by the constitution and the

WILSON'S FIGURES,

|. President Wilson will see the flg-
ures of .lis message exploded within
the next few weeks. Most of them
are inaccurate and unpardonably fal.
lacious from one so used to the pc
dantic precision of the school room.
Hence the general surprise.
He calculates that a tax of twenty
five cents per ton on pig iron viii
yield $10,000,000 a year. AS a matter
of fact, this nation has never produc-
ed the necessary 100000 tons to
create the desired revenue.
His suggestion for tax on "fabri-
Gated iron" is also vague and indefl-
mite. AT what stage of fabrication
would he impose the tax?
The farmer who uses tractors would
be hard hit by the proposals of in.
ternal revenue suggested in Presi.
dent Wilson's message. Fifty cents
a horsepower on automobile engines
and those of internal explosion, TO-
gether with tax on the gasoline,
seem an unfair imposition.
President Wilson refuses absolutely
to treat the matter of revenue from a
strictly economic viewpoint. He de.
clines to vacate the tariff neresies OF
the Underwood measure. He would
rather be a good Democrat than a
great statesman. He would rather
tax industry in its many phases than
provide for its protection by intelli-
gent and non.partisan tariff revision.
No man can tell when this war will
end. Peace will bring as serious
commercial problems as war did. The
present tariff exposes us to the Ell
emy. A false commercial security
has been created because of tie war
business. England doubtless prefers
to let this nation supply it with WI,
munitions rather than dlsorganlze her
own staple industries. Great Britain
is keeping her commercial organiza-
tions as intact as possible, so that the
conquest for trade may go on vigor.
ously as soon as conditions become
normal.
This nation has done nothing in
more than sixteen months to prepare
for the industrial upheaval that must
follow the war. We have been rant
ing about military preparedness when
industrial preparedness is Just as i'm
portant, if not more so.
president Wilson and the party
leaders know that commercial pre-
paredness means tariff revision. They
are willing, however, to sacrifice the
industrial life of nation rather than
prepare for the future.
The duty OF repairing and strength.
ening our trade defenses is as non.
partisan and imperative as the estab.
lishment Of greater army and navy.

The suggestion that we protect our
markets against European dumping
sat the close of the war by having our
econsuls refuse to sign manifests for
such goods is worthy of this Admins
tration's policy of exalting individual,
official judgment at the cost of en-
forcement of law. Under such a plan
we would have a Supreme Court in
every consulate, with more than fifty
seven different varieties of judgment.
To protect ourselves against dump
ing" we need a revised tariff law. uni
formly administered. Such a law will
be enacted by the Republican Congress
to be elected next year.

MAJORITY FAyoRs PROTECTION

Many times it has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and Pro-
gressive platforms declared in favor
of the protective principle and that
the candidates of those two parties
polled a total of 7,607,735 votes while
the Democratic candidate polled only
6,290,81 1t is notorious that the
Democratic candidate received hun
dreds of thousands of votes of staunch
Republicans whose course was deter
mined by the feeling aroused by the
strife within the party.
But there are some other figures,
not so we'll known, that throw light
on the real strength of protection
sentiment. Woodrow Wilson had a
majority vote in only IA states, with
a total of 152 electoral votes. The
combined Republican and Progressive
votes constituted a majority in "a
states whose electoral voted aggre-
gated 379. If therefore, the enact
ment, of a tariff law had been deter
mined by the actual vote as cast, the
Republican tariff principle would have
been maintained by al electoral vote
of 2k to l..
This fact was pointed out by Sena-
tor Warren, of Wyoming, during the
tariff debate in 1913. Senator War
rem also presented figures showing
that the IL Southern states and Ari-
iona and Oklahoma, which gave a
majority for the Democratic party,
have a total population of 26,543, 1928
while the "a Northern and Western
states, which gave a majority for the
two protective tariff parties, have a
total population of 65,097, 1863.
The people of this country were in
favor of protection in 1912, and, af-
ter two years experience with a tar
if for revenue only, they are more
strongly in favor of protection, not
withstanding the fact that the dire
results of Democratic tariff policies
were prevented by the outbreak of
the European War.

The National Bank of Commerce
of st. Louis has been compelled to
cut it's dividend rate from six to four
per cent. The reason assigned is
that there is small demand for loans
and that the interest rate for these
is very low. This is suggestive. 1t
is evident that there can be no large
Industrial or business activity in this
banks circle of clients. There is an
ocean of idle money in this country,
cept among the "war trade" enter
sorises.

James j. Hill urges that we loan a
billion or so to the belligerents of the
Triple Entente. They are buying
things from us, he argues, and if we
do not lend them the money they can
not pay US for our goods, our exports
will fall off and our crops will decline
in value. Then all this tremendous
'"war order" export business is not
real business at all-eh, Mr.. Hill ?
Anyone can do business if he will
lend his customers the money to pay
their bills.

Packard Factory's
Entire Output to Be
of the Twin Skies

II. F. Orr, local Packard representative.
spent the week at the Packard factory
arranging for a larger quota of new
Packard twelves. He says: This will
he the greatest year in Packard history
Wherever shown the twin six" has not
failed 20 excite the genuine admiration
of all motor experts. By as bold stroke
of policy as the automobile business Res
ever known, the Packard Motor Car
company has converted the entire re-
sources OF it's immense pleasure car fac
tory in Detroit to the effort of producing
motor car that, in elegance and
seductiveness Of performance. will sur
pass all the company's previous efforts"
With reference to the new price level
Mr.. Orr said: Despite persistent init
nations TO the contrary 1t Is sufficient
TO state that the Packard company has
not entered the low price market and
has no such move in contemplation. The
new design betrays none of the char
acteristics Of the cheaply-built car, and
it does reveal that abundance OF detail
and lavish expenditure of labor where
labor conveys a definite quality Of per-
formanee that has always been distine-
tive of this particular product"
