| or q. r. Wallace, member of the North
Dakota Tax commission, who dealt
with a problem that is attracting q
great deal of attention among the peo-
pie Of this state at the present time
| the Canadian system of taxation.
Mr.. Wallace spent much time in
several of the provinces of Canada
studying the system and stated this
morning to the convention that
Canada would not change tax system2
that the only persons kicking on the
methods OF taxation there are the nom
residents and the spectators in land.
In his address Mr.. Wallace COM
pared the forms of government of
Canada and the United States and
then compared the systems of taxation
Of the two countries.
He is very favorable to the Cana
dian system as 1t could be modified to
apply to this state, but said that the
constitution stands in the way of the
adoption of a system exactly like the
Canadian system, but that modifca-
tions could be made thae would give
practically the same result.
There Is the compulsory hail insur-
ance tax, the unearned increment tax
and the wild land tax, all of which are
subject to exemptions that make the
system work like single tax" said
the speaker. "The taxation is all
against the nonresident and the land
speculator and in favor OF the small
farmer. Any farmer can be exempt
from the hail insurance tax though when
he becomes exempt from taxation for
this purpose he also loses the protec-
ton otherwise secured"

IF the constitution is amended as
now proposed, the amendments must
follow the regular course prescribed
by the constitution and be passed up-
on by two legislatures before going to
the people. If, however, the legisla-
ture wishes to pass a law calling a
constitutional convention, it has a
perfect right to do so, and it may at
tach the emergency clause by a two
thirds vote, giving immediate effect.
Otherwise, the voters would have the
privilege of electing delegates to a
constitutional convention in July; the
convention would convene immediate-
ly, and the constitution which it
drafts could go to the people at a
special election, all within the course
of year.. Then the governor could
