This question. the opinion states, has been presented before the courts in other Jurisdictions and in all such cases the courts. while admitting that such double taxation in straight logic of abstract consideration, might be objectionable to some, still no rule of constitutional law is infringed thereby. The corporate rights and powers enjoyed by Arizona corpora tions have been given said corpora tions bN the state of Arizona
 It is not the property that is taxed under the inheritance tax statute, but the succession to it.
 The privilege to inherit is not a natural right. and when such privilege is granted by any jurisdiction under statute. the state has the right to tax the exercise of the privilege. The Arizona inheritance tax law is very comprehensive ir its provisions, and before any foreign executor, admins trator or trustee can assign or trens- fer any stock in this state standing in the name of the decedent. or ir trust for him, the inheritance tax must be paid to the state treasurer before the stock can be validly trans ferred or assigned.

Columbia

The Devils Payday was well re- eeived at the Columbia on it's Sunday showing. The play deals very ably with a not unusual social situation and is handled in a manner that conveys the full force of it's dramatic values.
 It is not production built around one central character but conveys its ideas through several of eaual strength. The scenes and situations are handled in direct and forceful manner and the producers and artists alike are de- serving of much praise for their faith ful representations both of character and setting.

Some call November the dreary
month Of the year, the black sheep of

thankfulness, the completion Of the

weather sets in, their happy "chee-

WHEN PRESIDENT MET PRESIDENT.

Referring to the recent visit of President A. c. Townlev 81
the Nonpartisan league at the White House, the Starkweather N
D. Times sums the occurrence up in the following very concrete
manner: #
Last week A. {. Towney, president of the National Nonpar.
tlsan league was in conference with the president of the United
States for two hours at the White House. According to the dis
patches OF the Associated Press-not printed in the Grand Forks
the farmers of the Northwest and their effort to help America
win a lasting and substantial peace for itself and the world.
las to what will come Of this conference no one can say at the
present time. It is said that Mr.. Towney asked the president to
urge before congress a bill appropriating fifty million dollars to be
loaned to the farmers of the Northwest to tide them over until
another crop could be seeded and harvested. It is certain that
such action would prove a God-send to thousands of farmers in
the Northwest and would materially increase the next crop by sup
plying those unable to buy with seed and equipment.
However, the important thing for North Dakota people to
%exemplifed by the president-towardt this great new organization
that has sprung into being in the Northwest during the past three
years. 1t shows that the government does, not rely upon a few
prejudiced and selfish inerests to obtain it's information. Six
who had anything to do with it, were being denounced as traitors
and pro-German, This every act was twisted and contorted to
show they were attempting to hinder the government. Some in
terests demanded the Imprisonment Of the leaders Of the move-
ment while others loudly proclaimed that they should be stood up
against a stone wall facing the firing squad.
"Now comes the president Of the United States-the &C
knowledged director of the destinies of the world, the savior Of
humanity, and the man to whom civilization. has turned in dis
with the very same man, who, six months before, was being pic
tured as a Benedict Arnold and worse.
"And what is the conclusion to be drawn from it all? Sim
ply this: That no power can stop this mighty organization that
seeks to right the economic wrongs which the toilers Of the soil
have endured for SO long. First enemies of this great cause tried
ridicule, then SANDER, then wholesale distortion Of the truth, then
the accusation of disloyalty. Now comes the president OF the
United States and disproves of the last and most vicious charge
He has disproved it because the president of the United States
would not even speak to A. C. Townley were he guilty Of one-tenth
of the disloyalty of which he has been accused"

POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OF FARMERS.

The great fault of the American people is to attempt to treat
symptoms instead of going deep enough to reach the real cause
The success Of a farmers, organization in getting political
control of North Dakota and the growth of that organization in
other states is causing great alarm in the ranks of conservatives
everywhere, notwithstanding that nothing revolutionary or dan
gerous was actually enacted into law in the state named.
The organization of farmers for political action is merely a
symptom. If there were no just grounds for farmer discomfort;
if they felt they were not at the absolute mercy Of the buyer when
they sell their products or the other way around when they pur-
chase goods; if they did not feel that they were taxed on every:
thing they own to the full legal limit, while others were success
fully lodging taxes because their property could be locked up in
safety deposit boxes; if farmers did not feel they were paying
more for their short time loans than the business men of the
towns, no plans of organization such as the one now under dis
sion would have been successfully carried out. The attitude of
the consumers in fighting the Twin City Milk Producers Associa-
ton has done more to boost political organization among farmers
than any propaganda by the organizers Of such a movement could
have done.
Unless the Federal Grain Grades are radically changed every
wheat grower will become a convert to united political action by
farmers as a class. Isn't it about time that farmers began to be
represented in state legislatures and Congress?
Why should not the most numerous class Of our population
have direct representation?
Would the general levels of our legislatures and Congress be
lowered by the introduction of successful farmers into their halls
Must the business interests of this nation be forever in the
hands of lawyers with little practical business experience?
Is not this question of farmer representation in legislatures
and Congress a live subject for discussion in your clubs this win
ter?-Farrn, Stock & Home.

GO TO THE FRONT.

Not everybody can go to the front in France to fight for his
country. Everybody unable to serve in the army, however, can
enlist in the Red Cross. There is important war work for all the
men and women Of America, and for youth under or over military
age, right at home. No age limit bars enlistment in the Red Cross.
It is the great organized force through which every one not ON the
firing line may play his part in the war for Liberty.
The chance to become a recruit in the greatest army ever
modified to relieve human suffering, as we'll as to tighten the bur-
|dens and enhance the strength Of the fighting men, is presented
to all by the Red Cross Christmas Membership Campaign, In the
week before Christmas it is planned to add 100000 names to
the Red Gross rolls. Fifty thousand recruiting booths win be open
throughout the United States to receive enlistnents. It is planned
to make memberships in the Red Cross almost as universal as
citizenship. To that end til is proposed that the way shall be made
so open that no one can remain an outsider through lack of pro-
per invitation. 2
Here is an opportunity to show the 1917 Christmas spirit, as
we'll as to get into the war work that summons all patriotic Amer
Cross membership is the Christmas spirit in terms of action" Let
the men and women Of America make that sentiment ring like a
cathedral chime throughout the land on Christmas morn.
The time is coming, it's coming fast, in fact it is here now,
when the gangsters OF the gang press will be closed up tighter than
a. clam in regards to charging the farmers and other members of
the league with disloyalty. The State Council Of Defense propos-
les to follow up charges made in the press Of disloyalty and the
one who makes them will be called upon to prove his assertion.
This is as it should be, although it may be = bitter pill for some
Ito swallow.
