cash and expect to see some OF the
staple food products at as low price
as they. would ordinarily be purchased
in small quantities from the wholesale
jobber.

railway which is at our back door will
enable US to receive carloads of can
ned goods, sugar, flour anG any of the
bulky items which will mean carload
prices and no drayage and cheaper
prices to the consumer.

minimum, no extra expense for rent

work as the customers will have &C
cess to the shelves and will make
their own selection of goods.

toners will either carry their pack
ages or pay for the delivery or them:

| SeVenty-fiVe Driven Out of James
town.
jamestown, one Of the greatest I.
W. w. congregating points in the
state, got its first taste of the "wob-
fblers" Tuesday when, 10 is report
ed, about rs entered the city and
were driven out by Chief of Police
Obermiller, who a year ago handled
the situation in that city success
fully.
The men have been known to take
possession of freight trains on the
Midland Continental and ride them
into jamestown. They would be
piled in and on top Of box cars and
to stranger visiting at that point,
1T would represent a very amusing
sight.
A year ago about this time about
300 men manned a Midland freight,
rode into the city, and we're herded
into one bunch and driven out by
the chief of police. At Medina train
crews had difficulty with the bands
and it was daily occurrence to hear
of reports of men poking guns into
the faces of members of train crews
or others.
From the Cakes Valley.
The "wobblers" seem to come up
to jamestown from the famous
Cakes valley, which for years has
had the reputation of being the
hang out for the idle men of the ma
ton. They reach the valley from
the harvest fields of Kansas and
South Dakota. The seyenty-flve
handled so masterfully at Jamestown
this week, is probably only the van
guard of an army of such men who
are bound for the state.
Fargo has just double the floating
population of this class of men which |
1T did year ago.
A year ago, one of the subjects |
before the people for consideration |
was the placing of mounted police |
or constabulary service over the |
state to guard property and to pro-
tect the clean, honest Iabofer who |
wanted to work and was willing to /
abide by the terms offered him by |
farmers.

There lie an old saying that love
laughs at locksmiths." Never did
the little winged rogue of match
maker laugh louder than did lock-
smiths work harder to thwart the
commands Of cupid in the battle for
the heart Of Glover, in "Clover's
Rebellion" at the Strand today and
Thursday.
For Glover was well worth fighting
for. So thought the duke who want
ed her money; so thought "Buc<y"
Raine, who couldn't understand that
hts very presence would make the
delicate little Cloyerblossom wither;
so thought her scheming' aunt and
uncle, who were willing to CELL
Clover TO the highest bidder. And
the locksmiths were all on their
side.
And Or. Billy Dunn thought Clover
was well worth fighting for, too.
and though he had only a happy
smile and an antiquated tub of a
motor car, though both he and
Clover were plunged into a murder
mystery that threatened destruction.
Cupid was on his side-and there
you are.

When Chief of Police J. w.
Lowe of Grand Forks. came to Far
go Tuesday to appear as a witness
before the federal grand jury in a
liquor case, he didn't expect to run
across a machine stolen from the

Chief Of Police Louis DahIgren

of picking up a Ford which had been
standing for some time on the
streets of Fargo and taking II to the
garage in the rear of the city hall.
The Fargo chief had made the state
ment that he thought he was getting
a car rather cheap.
Let me see that machine which
you are talking about" said Chief
Lowe. The two men went 10 the
garage and there IL was learned from
the license that the Ford was the
one reported to have been stolen at
the fair, and which belonged to w.
c. Schaffner OF Oberon, who was

room for light and ventilation, and
the protection OF the rights of the
owners OF inside lots as against the
encroaching OF the corner lot own
er who sometimes rob others Of their
light and ventilation in building

cussed, according to Mr.. Lane.
) Better housing laws were also
urged, the detached house for fami-
lies being favored as against fiats.
"The matter of the cost of build
ing material and labor was discuss
ed and IL seemed to be the unani-
nous opinion that it would be years
before costs would depreciate to any
extent, the shortage of material in
the face Of ever INCREASING demand
and the necessity OF bringing lum-
Der and other necessities from great
err and greater distances, with in
creasing freight rates offer no in
ducements to defer building" eaid
the Fargo dealer.
Taxes and Taxation.
"The matter of taxes and taxation
of course received considerable att
tention, the statement was made
that 7S per cent Of all taxes was paid
by real estate, some Of the ways that
large vested interests evaded taxes
with the assistance Of some legisla-
tors was shown. In one instance
law was passed permitting a cor
poration to deduct from its stock
the amount of its bonds. result
with a million dollar stock issue IL
issued a million dollars in bonqs CIV,
ing a proportionate amount or STOCK
with the bonds; deducting one from
the other left 90 which was the
amount of taxes it paid until the law
could be amended. The statement
was made by experts that II all
property was assessed at its true
value per cent would furnish all
the money needed for all purposes.
IT was stated that in Ohio in many
places the tax rate for all purposes
excepting of course special improve
merat assessments, was but 6 mills,
but it has taken years of work and
education to reach this result. If
our tax commissions were to spend
one-tenth of the time and effort
spent in some of their 'strenuosity,'
in educating the people and in en-
deavorins to get their cooperation
for more equitable taxation, the re-
suits would De vastly more SatlSrac-
tory to those who are fair and will

THE committee on, taxation REG
commended that laws in each state

stitute the keynote Of tax reform in
the interest of real estate, that where
classification is possible, n recording
tax only on mortgages is desirable
and the enactments should be pro-
cured, that business concerns should
be assessed with respect to their
book value, and that bank deposits
should be taxed at a very low rate"
Mr.. Dale said the high standards
of the association, of the men at the
convention, the addresses and the
whole tone was particularly pleas

PROHIBITION
VOTE DUE TODAY
Discussion Continues With
Both Sides Claiming
Victory

Washington, Aug. 1.-The senate's
discussion of a resolution for a pro-
hibition amendment TO the federal
constitution proceeded yesterday in
a vein largely perfunctory. A vote
is to be taken late this afternoon.
There was only a small attendance
during the day on the floor or in the
galleries. Prepared speeches were
the rule and the session took on the
tedious aspect of routine proceed
ings. Last night both vets and
dries were claiming victory but on
both sides II was admitted the result
will he close. II will take the votes
OF two-thirds of those present for
adoption Of the resolution, which
tEen would have TO pass the house
before an amendment is submitted
to the states for ratification.
Legal arguments were made
against the proposal by Senators
Lord and Hardwick, both of whom
contended that it would be a dan
gerous step for the federal govern
ment to assume the police powers
over liquor exercised hitherto by the
states. Senator Lodge also contend
ed that passage OF the amendment
would be a backward step In the
campaign and would de-
lay the coming Of complete aostin-
ence from alcohol.
Speaking for the resolution Sena-
tor Jones of Washington declared
that If an amendment were not sub
mitted to the people nationwide
prohibition soon would become a
party issue.
Senators Thompson and Sherman
were among others who supported
the measure.
Senator Sheppard, author of the
accepted an amendment
providing that the proposed con-
stitutional amendment must be sub
mitted to the states for ratification
by July /. 1923. Announcement was
made by Senator Stone that he
would propose that before prohibi-
ton goes into effect. the government
property owners for
1amages TO property relating from
It's enforcement. Senator Stone said
that II this and Senator Harding's
proposals were accepted he would
vote for the resolution.
Senator Lodge told the senate that
he believed adoption Of the amend
nent would be the worst thing that
could be done to advance temper
ince."
