Senator Simmons, chairman of the f. nance committee; Senator Penrose, se- nior republican member, and Senator Shoot received the publishers represen- tatives today to thresh out the whole question of war taxes upon publications having the second-lass, 0 cent a. pound mailing rate. The publishers were asked to suggest a taxation plan and unani- nous recommendation of levying upon ad- vertising receipts was the result after an hours discussion. The increased postage rates would put many publishers out of business and could not be passed along, the committee was told, while a tax on advertising receipts could be met by in- creased advertising rates.
 The plan proposed by Senator Hardwiek and indorsed by the postoffice depart ment, to leave present postage rates on newspapers and increase that on adver- Using carried was recommended by the publishers as more detrimental to their interests than the House zone system, rejected by the committee

TAXATION CERTAIN

In asking the publishers views, Senator Simmons made it clear that the com mittee was determined to levy war taxes of some sort upon publishers. He sug- gested combination postage and ad- vertising tax. but the publishers protested against any change whatever in mail rates. Senator Simmons pointed out that letter rates are to be increased one half postcard rates doubled and parcel post shipments taxed. adding that there was strong sentiment in Congress against excepting second-class mail entirely from the increase.
 Newspapers are not desirous of escap-
 ing a tax the committee was told by Ebert H. Baker of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, chairman of the legislative com. mittee of the American Newspaper Pub fishers association, but we would rather hayc direct tax on advertising receipts at fair rate than any change in tho postage rate Such a change might be- come permanent.

The Berlin Vorwaerts sharply rebukes
the Conservative member of the Prus-

at a political meeting delivered a
strong anti-American speech, in which
he said:
IF America comes into the war we
will remember the words of Frederick
the Great: The Prussians do not ask
how many are their enemies but
where they are"
The Vorwaerts says: "Such crazy
talk is calculated to play into the
hands of the apti-German press in
America and Illustrate those who in
the eventuality Of a German-American
breach would work for peace. The in
evitable reply to the latter would be
that the Germans themselves say that
they want war with America. The

lie then said:
The development of the Tri-state
territory has been unique. This coun-
try lying around us here has passed
through pariod of it's history during
that in any other portion of the Unit
ed States has taken at least three
generations.
The usual story of a state consists
of the account of the hardy pioneer
breaking out the trails and barely Sc
curing a foothold; followed by his
successor who won a grudging living
from an unfriendly soil; progressing
then to the third generation with its
Well-tilled stock farm, and whose
prosperity was signified by the pos
session of top buggy.
Three generations without excep-
ton elsewhere to pass through q per-
iod of development which the Red
River valley and surrounding terri
tory has experienced in thirty years,
for many a man here today has had
upon his farm every experience from
the drudgery of goading an OK team
to the luxury of his automobile.
This development, remarkable as
1t has been, has taken, however,
thirty-five years and You who have
accomplished it struggled for q con-
siderable portion Of that time under
the burden of 10 per cent interest-12
per cent and even "a per cent-when
you were lucky enough to be able to
raise any cash at all. How much
quicker you could have reached your
present state of prosperity If at the
beginning of your struggle you have
been able to secure adequate capital
Tor the development of your farming
operations at low rate of interest.
And you who do not need to Dor
row today will not be unaffected by
this stream of money which this Fed
eral Farm Loan act may be expected
to pour over your plains, for this cash
will find it's way into the channels of
every branch of industry, and under
its quickening influence we may look
forward confidently to a further de-
velopnent of our great Tri-state EN-
pire within the next five years equal
to that which we have witnessed since
the first sod was turned"

to assist in securing a more equitable
provision for the rural school, and to
lend their aid in bringing about a
change that will better fit the country
children, for raral life than the aver
age rural school is doing now.
THE rural schools are teaching
three times as many children as the
city schools with one-third of the
money used by the city schools" said

Shortly afterwards, the board mem

Governor Frazier also indicated that
he was under the impression that the

The fact that the names of the board
members went to the senate two years

the basis for the removal.
