Joker IN WAR TAX
WORRIES CONGRESS
Lawmakers Have Exempted
Their Own Salaries From Ex-
cess Profits Charges.
NEW LETTER POSTAGE RATE

Members of Congress, government Of
7cials. including the President and cab
met officers. are exempt from paying
the per cent excess profits tax on
salaries over $4,000 and the discovery
of this fact has set Congress to worry
ing.
This Joker in the war tax act was
not discovered until yesterday and i'm
mediately it raised a storm of protest
throughout the Capitol. Practically all
members took the view that such an
exemption would prove ruinous to the
political career of any man who voted
for it.
The exemption of public officials re-
mains IN the law by accident according

per cent excess profits tax on individ-

CASE INVOLVES I'M.
POR1ANT POINT

Bismarck. N. D.. March "a
question of much Importance in the
insurance world is involved in the
case of Joseph Donahue. admins
traitor, vs.: the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. of New York, appealed by
the latter from an adverse decision
in the Williams district court, which
was argued in supreme court yester-
day.
The company issued a policy on
the life of Williams county wo-
man, who died a few months later
in giving birth to a child. The
company declined to pay the amount
of the policy on the grounds that
in making application for ,ne IN
surance the woman had not stated
she was soon to become a mother.
The issues are whether the state
ment made in an application for
an insurance policy becomes part Of
the contract for insurance, and
furthermore whether questions as
to the health of the applicant
should involve expected motherhood.

FARMERS ORGANIZE
A SHIPPING ASSN

The farmers of Clayton township
met on Wednesday evening OF last
week and organized what will be
known as the Clayton Farmers
League & Shipping Association, and
the following officers were elected:
w. 8. Clark, president; Jim Uglum,
secretary, and w. B. White, treas
urer. A membership fee of $1.OO
lately joined the organization. 9th
er meetings will be held on the first
Monday of each month. The prin-
cipal object of the association will
be to buy such necessities as the
members might use in carload lots
at wholesale prices, and thereby
save as much as possible of the
middlemen's profits. Prices on all
articles imaginable have been going
sky high during the past year, and
the members will try. by uniting
together, to get lower prices on
what goods they need. The entire
plan Of the association has not yet
been agreed upon, and it is not
known at the present time just how
far the members will go, but at the
meetings to be held later, when
more members join, proposed plans
will be talked over, and something
will be agreed upon. 1t must be
admitted that the members acting
in unison will be able to buy cheap
er than they would individually, and
there are many other ways in which
the members can profit by sticking
together. All farmers are cordial
ly invited to join. This is the first
organization of its kind to be start
ed in this section of the state, and
farmers in all parts of the country
will watch it's progress with much
interest.

year all property of this description
was valued at $19,6S2,359, and the
drop will be approximately s15.745.-
887.
Against a fiat increase in class No.
l of $52,096,660, there will be re-
corded, therefore, fiat decrease of
$30,140,241, leaving net gain in
the assessed valuation of the state
Of approximately $22.000,000, pro-
vided, of course, that assessors may
be dep nded upon to boost the as
sessad valuation Of all property in
class one 20 per cent.
The tax commission expects as
SCISSORS to do this, and has so in
structed them. The result of this
first experiment under the new class
ifcation, which is another step to-
ward single tax, in which all reven-
ues will come direct from the land,
and improvements will be entirely
exempt. will be awaited with much

Local Band Soon
To Give Concert

The Seimers band will give a con-
cert at the Royal Theatre on some
date Immediately after Easter, and
same will consist of oand, orchestra
ard vocal selections. The program
is now being prepared and will be
published in this paper in later is
sue together with the exact date on
which the concert is to be held. The
band, which consists of 28 pieces,
and has been practic1ng since last
fall under the leadership of Prof.
Ferd Seimers, has got to point
now where it is not ashamed to ap-
pear in public. In fact those who
have heard the organization play on
different occasions during the past
few months insist that it is as good
as any band ever maintained here.
Every member is taking a great in
terest in the work, and is using ev-
cry spare moment he has in practic-
ing. The members meet several
times week and practice together.
A program of all band selections
would probably be too monotonous
to some people, and for that reason
MI. Seimers asked other musical To-
cal talent to assist in the entertain
ment, and give our people some
thing that will please everybody
The proceeds of the affair will go
toward paying some very necessary
expenses Of the band boys, and it
should receive the patronage of ev-
eryone in the city.

PETITIONS ASK FOR RE-
LEASE OF STATE PRISONER

Dickinson, N. D., March 29.-Pet-
itions are being circulated. through
out the Taylor district getting sig
natures which will be presented to
the state board of pardons for the
release of A. J. Good, sentenced a
year ago to 18 years in the state
penitentiary for habitual intercourse
with his 13-year-old daughter. In
a letter addressed to the town coun
Gil Good says that he has yielded to
the lash of conscience.
"My punishment and discipline
have been curative. l am repent
ant. I am so awakened that shall;
never practice secret sin. I want
TO get home and protect my good
wife. want to help care for and
school my children. I did not
think ri the damaging qualities CT
my sin as now see them. Re-
morse. sorrow. shame and regret
have burned through my SOUL"
The petitions will undoubtedly
meet with scant recognition, as the
hypocrisy of the pseudo preacher
and evangelist is too we'll known in
his home neighborhood to meet
with any leniency on the part Of
those who know him. The state
penitentiary is seemingly the safest
place wherein to care for men of
the Good stripe.

ed that they were committing any
crime at all when they allowed
number OF their friends to congre-
gate in their places OF business to
enjoy game OF cards. and to make
things mere interesting allowed
small stakes to be played for.
Neither Perring nor Dilworth ever
received any compensation for al
lowing the card games to go on. and
never expected any. They simply
friends congregated in their build
ings and suggested that a game be
played, and proceeded to bet busy,
the aldermen neither encouraged
them nor asked them to quit. 1t is
understood that such games were
played for small stakes for over
year at different times, and as no
arrests had been made during that
time it was thought that no one
would object to the practice. Aid
erman Dilworth tells US that the
same kind Of games were played in
many ether places in the city, and
that hc does not feel himself any
more guilty than the other fellows.
When these cases come up for
trial they will no doubt prove very
Interesting, and States Attorney
Hanson feels quite certain that he
can secure conviction in both
cases. Many of the witnesses sub
pocnaed at the time Of the arrest,
and which will no doubt be used
when the cases come up for trial
are quite prominent residents Of the
city, and the list includes several
city and some county officers. The
outcome of the cases will be watch
ed with interest.

ty per cent in the valuation Of this

sessed at but rs per cent of it's ac-
tual value. The total valuation of
property in this class for 1916 was

county Jail by the judge where he
allowed them to remain until they
recovered their memories and were
able to tell whether or not they had
bought liquor of the woman. The
emphatic sentence handed her this
morning by the court is merely in
keeping with the justice of the case
and is no more than she deserves.
1t is doses like that handed out to
the wilful and determined law
breakers that will put them on the
blink.
The case of the state against Jen-
ME Ogg was hotly contested. Some
OF the witnesses for the state sought
to help her cut of the predicament
by Mailing to remember whether
they had purchased liquor Of her or
not and Judge Leighton promptly
sent them to Jail until such time as
they could learn that the court did
not propose to be trifed with in that
manner. The act made the cold
chills run down the backs Of other
criminals who hoped to get out of
the: clutches Of the law by similar
methods.

States Attorney Hanson
Makes Var on City Officers

States Attorney H. A. Hanson

ermen of the city, and as result
two members of the city council
were bound over to the district
court on the charge Of keeping and
maintaining a public nuisance, and
have put up bonds for their appear
ance when their cases are called.
Alderman l.. D. Perring of the third
ward was the first to be taken in
custody. 1t was alleged that
gambling had been going on at his
feed mill, and he was arrested last
Friday afternoon. On being taken
before Justice Randall he asked for
a change Of venue and time to en-
ploy counsel. This was granted and
the case was transferred to the
court of Justice John Schmidt, and
Attorney +. e. Heckel was employ
ed to look after the interests Of the
defense. After hearing in which
several witnesses were examined
Perricg was bound over, and his
bail was fixed at $500. This he
furnished and was released from
custody.
Next morning alderman F. J.
DIlworth Of ti." frs. ward way al
rested On the same charge. He
waived examination in Justice RAN
dall's court and was bound over to
the higher court. His bail was fix
ed at $1,000, and he Immediately
furnished it and was released from
custody.

charged with very serious crime,
and il convicted, can be given a
very stit: sentence, we do not be-

Hotel Rupert ut this city. owned and
operated by William Winney. was
completely destroyed by fire at an
early hour yesterday. The fire
was discovered at 2:45 o'clock but
had gotten under such headway at
the time that it was impossible to
save the building. The origin Of
the fire is unknown, but it probably
started from kindling on the second
floor. The building was heated
with stoves.
The structure was two story
wooden building and was worth
with it's contents, all of which were
destroyed, something like $4,000.
There was $1,000 insurance on the
building and furnishings.
The guests and all the help were
aroused in time to get out with all
of their personal belongings, but
with tte fire rapidly sweeping the
upper :!oor it was impossible to re-
move anything from the rooms. The
fire was confined tc the one stcuc-
ture and no other damage was done.
