THE RIGHT MOVE

LII dCllon axe at the city nail yesterday In endOrS-
Ing Republican candidates for the legislature in the
Sixth and Seventh districts, those comprising the eastern
portion Of Grand Forks county. is wise and logical. In
those districts candidates have been given the endorse
ment of the Honpartisan league who have given satisfac-
tory evidence Of their subserviency to the Townley leader
ship, and because it was believed that they could ,be de-
pended on to remain in that attitude in the future, and
to take their orders, as was the custom of the legislative
session of 1917, from the secret caucus which was under
the direct control of Mr.. 'Townley or one of his lieutenants.
The secret caucus is essentially undemocratic in prin-
ciple and in practice. The man who goes to the leeisla-
ture to- represent his district in either house takes an oath
to support the constitution Of the state. He is expected
to support such measures as are in the interest of the
people OF the state according to his und ersta ndine of
those measures and their effects. His submission to the
dictation Of the secret caucus deprives him Of all inde-
pendence Of action. and he is bound, not by his own con-
victions. but by the will of other men with whose on,n-
ions his own may not be in accord.
1t was high time that action were taken to place in
the field for nomination by their respective parties men
who would refuse to sacrifice their independence in this
manner. and who could be depended on to consider mat
ters Of public policy from the standpoint Of the public in.
terest. and not to accept outside dictation, no matter wha.
its origin.
The action taken at yesterdays meeting assure. the
voters that the primary will not be allowed to 60 by de-.
ooA oiiu Ihd INey Will D . given an opportunity to vote
at the primary in a manner to make their vote, conn.
In the Sixth district the man endorsed for tho senate
is w. 8. Whitman, a vigorous and representative business,
man. The house position was taken under adv,..m.n+
and the selection may be announced before these linz.
appear in print. In the Seventh there is no vacancy 81

one Of the best and most favorably known nen4in the
county. These men may be relied on TO conduct clean
campaigns, and, IL they are nominated and elected, to
conduct themselves in 9 manner which VIII be s~rratifyinEs
ito the people Of the district.
In tho sixth district two Democratic. candidates. are
already In the field, Senator Nelson and Representative
o'connor. Among Republican,, who are in favor 81 real
representative government there is no antasohism to
either Of these men: Thu. desire is rather than. tn~follow-

WHAT YANKEE TROOPS ARE DOING.

Regarding the operations on the western front from
day to day and their significance, most readers
the dark 1t is hard to follow the movements even
map and to understand the obectves of the various
drives undertaken against the German lines in France
This fact makes daily review Of the situation by
who has thoroughly studied it matter of interest well
source if information For instance, j. W. I. Mason
the United Press war eTpert explains the movements
of American army in his review Of yesterday follows:
The American progress between the Arginne forest
and the Meuse river is approaching the GrandPre
road which cuts the forest in two This forest will serve
connecting line when captured for the Americans on
the west and east flanks of the forest.
1t is apparently General Pershng's present purpose
to his front between the Argonne and the Meuse
to Grand Pre- and by effectng junction with the French
and Americans to the west squeeze the Germans out Of the
southern half of the forest area.
The Franco Americans who operating on the
west side of the Argonne have recently halted their adj
at the western entrance to the Grand Pre- passage
Their drive toward Vouzers which is the base for turn
ing movement against the whole Of the Argonne has come
to temporary rest because Of the immense reserve force
which Won Hindenburg has thrown into this sector.
Marshal Foch will not countenance major offensive
by the allies at present anywhere along the west front
Hence French and Americans abstaning from costly
frontal attacks in an effort to reach Vozers and clean
out the Argonne of its nnumefabe machine gun nests
and concealed artillery positions by single movement
But, while waiting for a more favorable opportunity
to the advance to the west of the Argonne Gen
era Pershg has undertaken the very arduous work Of
forging ahead the east border The Americans lit
tie than five miles south Of Grand Pre- but they
subjected to constant flank attack all the way by the
enemy concealed in the Argonne
The fact that the American front between the Ar
gonne and the Meuse measured no more than dozen
miles is also handicap.
Nevertheless, the creeping advance continues The +
Amricans following the Of the Are river which
borders the Agonne the east and runs through the
Grand Pre- pass into the Aisne on the western sde
When the Americans reach Grand Pre- their right /
wing the Meuse be advanced very considerably to-
ward Stenay to cut off Luxembourg which continues to
be General Pershing's objective.

NEFARI0US INITIATIVE MEASURES.

G. S. Jackson publisher of the Portland Journal and
leading single tax advocate of Oregon has initiated two
bills to be voted upon at the general election One of
these bills repeaS the delinquent tax publication law and
the other sets the price for printing legal notices in Ore
gon outside of Portland where Mr. Jackson prints pa
per and claims the right charge any rate he pleases
1t is quite generally presumed that Mr. Jackson in
ated these bills because the country newspapers of the
state offended him by opposing the single tax measures
which have from time to time appeared in the ballot 1t
may be- however that abstractors who thrive on mixed
titles court house claim scapers and spectators in de-
nquent tax certificates raised fund to persuade the
Portland Journal to espOuSe their cause It must have
cost very considerable of money to pay petition
crcatOrS and other expenses incurred in the initiation
of the bills.
The tax payers generally desire the publication of
the delinquent tax st because it businesske way of
doing business 1t gives everybody full notice. stimulates
tax payments protects the taxpayer in all his rights and
enables the county to finally close its books each YEAR
with no over-hanging delinquences.
In Marion county for instance, we do practically al
million dollars of public business each yearcolect that
amount in taxes and dSburse it in various ways The de-
nquen publication here in two papers usually COSTS
about $500 $500 to each paper What private corpora
ton doing million dollars of business annually would
not be glad to close up its books and turn over new leaf
at the end of the year for an expense Of 5000? j
Moreover, this expense does not fall upon the tax
payers generally but upon the delinquent taxpayers who
must foot the advertising BILL 1t is also protection to
the delinquent worth all it COSTS because it gives the full
protection of publicity under system by which the tax
lien shark cannot buy his property in the dark and put
him to serious trouble and expense The Jackson method
proposed in the nefarious bill he has initiated is in
the interest only of the specuaor It is worse if pos
sb than the single tax measures he has SO often attempt
ed to saddle upon the land owners of Oregon.
