there is no assurance that it will not
result in disaster to the schools.
Change should be the result Of ex-
perience and not some ready made
scheme"
Because it was hurriedly passed at
the dictatiOn of politicians. Sufficient
attention was not given to the details
of the measure by persons of recog-
nized qualifications. The result is
that the measure is Incomplete, un-
workable, and undesirable.
Because it is spite measure. In
1917 Gov. Frazier recommended in
creased powers for the State Superin-
tendent. AS late as July, 1918, N. C.
Macdonald, then the State Superin-
tendent, recommended in his biennial
report greatly increased powers for
the State Superintendent. Up until
the time of my election the adminis-
tration had thought of nothing but
greatly extending the powers of the
State superintendent AS soon as I
was elected it determined to prevent
my taking the office if possible, and,
failing in that, to strip me Of all pow
err. / appealed to the Supreme Court
to secure the office, and am now de-
Tending my right in the courts. Sen
ate Bill 134 is purely a spite measure.
Because the Board Of Administra-
ton bill brings under the supervision
of one board three kinds of institu-
tions of totally different nature-the
penal institutions, the charitable in
stitutions, the educational institutions,
each of which should be directed by a
board more or less expert and requir-
ing qualifications that would not be
practical to place in one board
And finally, l am opposed to this
system of school administration be-
cause it has never been advocated or
demanded by the educators or the
people of North Dakota but is the
work of a defeated candidate for Of
fee and an imported gang of Social
lists.

SOUSA WILL SHOOT WITH
THE MINOT GUN CLUB
Great Band Master Will Arrive on
Morning of June 28-Dinner in
Evening for Him.

Secretary Holbein has received a
letter from John Philip Sousa, the
great bandmaster, in which he accepts
the invitation extended to him by the
Minot Rotary Club and the Minot Gun
Club to attend banquet to be given
in his honor at the Leland on the ev-
ening of June %.

at the high school auditorium at four
o'clock that afternoon in a matinee,
for which one dollar will be charged,
with no tickets reserved That even
ing another concert will be given, all
tickets reserved at $1.5O.
Sousa's band is enroute to Calgary
and it is fortunate that Minot could
get the attraction. There will be a
large crowd in the city for the enter
tainment, which is being given under
the auspices of the Minot Association
of Commerce. a5

LAW OFFICES WILL CLOSE
SATURDAY AFTERNOONS
Beginning at Once the Blackstonites
Will Close Their Offices Satur-
day Afternoons Until Sept. Is.

The lawyers Of Minot, believing that
shorter hours Of labor, especially dur
ing the hot weather, accomplish more
than longer hours, have decided to
close their offices at noon Saturdays,
beginning at once and continuing un-
til September Is. This will give the
stenographers an opportunity to take
a well earned rest and outing, and
will no doubt be very popular. Re-
member when you have any legal tan
giles that Saturday afternoon is hol-
iday until September Is.

WHY TAX COMMISSIONER
PACKARD IS OPPOSED TO
TOWNLEY ADMINISTRATION

Because the finances Of the State
are in desperate plight. Ordinarily
at this time of the year there is a
$35O,OOO.OO or $500 100000 cash bal
ance in the general fund and all bills
paid. Now the treasury is empty
with from $35O,O0OOO to $500 100000
unpaid bills on hand.
Because the legislature, dominated
by him, added $50 new employees to
the state pay roll at cost to the peo-
pie of $1,250,000.00 annually.
Because his legislature increased
the appropriation and levies from
$4,292 .O54.O0 to $12,954 ,285.00, or 203
per cent.
Because as result Of the tax meas
ure passed, the tax on the average
quarter section of land in North Dako-
ia has been raised from $35.07 to
,$59.92.
Because he is attempting to secure
control of the public schools for the
purpose of teaching socialism.
Because the bank is permitted, as a
mere matter Of bookkeeping, to trans
fer money from any school or other
fund of the State to buy Consumers
Store or to establish glue factory
or any other enterprise in which the
Industrial Commission may see fit to
engage.
Because there was no attempt made
by the Sixteenth Legislative assembly
to safeguard public funds. COMPETE
tive bids need not be called nor ac-
counts audited before they are paid,
but millions Of dollars may be spent
at the whim of the Industrial Commits
sion without check or safeguard.
These three men are empowered to
deprive anyone Of their property upon
what may be called by a jury just

diCN1 loT Tue Dig
Celebration = Sanford Dodge

Mason" or "How Father Joined the
Lodge" The entire original Minot
cast will again participate and most
enjoyable event is assured.

under whose direction the play was
put on last winter, arrived in Minot
Monday and will remain here until af-
ter the entertainments are given. A
number of rehearsals will be held The
entertainment is to be staged at the
High school auditorium and while
nearly all Of the people of Minot have
been given an opportunity to enjoy
the play. there will be thousands from
outside Of the city who will attend the
plav on July and 4.
Mr.. Dodge has been asked by the
Mouse River LOOP Chautauqua to
bring the production to the grounds

that time.

TOUGHS ATTACK SCOTT
McGREGOR WITH STAKES
Stake Drivers With Carnival Accuse
Feed Man of Taking Their Whis-
key from Bale of Hay.

Six stake drivers who were connect
ed with the Johnny Jones Carnival,
but who are with that excellent organ
ization no longer, were arrested Tues
day afternoon, charged with assault
ing Scott McGregor at the McGregor
feed barn on East Central avenue.
They gave cash bail for $45.00 and
did not appear when their case was
called by Judge Lynch Wednesday
morning.
The men were in charge of several
horses belonging to the Carnival
which were being kept in the Nc
Gregor barn. They had a bottle of
whiskey hidden in bale of hay and
when they went to look for it, it was
gone. They accused McGregor of
knowing where it was This led to a
warm argument and the roustabouts
attacked McGregor with stake pins,
beating his head and face badly,
knocking him cold. McGregor was
able to be around Wednesday.
These men were connected with the
Hagenbeck circus until recently and
had been with the JOHNNY Jones Car
nival but short time. The employees
connected with this carnival are nice,
gentlemanly fellows as rule and
Manager Salter regrets the occurrence
more than anyone else.

WHAT WILL OUR TAXES
BE? LET'S SEE

A clear example of what awaits US
controversy between the Valley City
norman, of that city. The latter was
and took Editor Trubshaw to task for
the County Auditor for concrete il
classification with the following re-
suit:
DR.. Zimmerman's own home was TAX
en- as an example and it was shown
that under the one-fourth value as
sessment in 1918, the valuation was
$1372, the rate was 1870 mills and
the taxes were $23.74.
The same property, under the re-
classification would be rated at full
value, or $548S. But homes in city or
village occupied by owner is exempt
81 900 and the remainder of the value
is assessed at so per cent. This leaves
the total assessed valuation at $2744,
the rate is figured at 1000 mills and
the total taxes at $24.46.
Thus the city residence occupied by
the owner will pay but 72 cents more
in 1919 than in 1918. The County
Auditor points out that these figures
cover only the state and county taxes.
Then the County Auditor takes
quarter section (the NV Ia of 11-14O-
58) formerly belonging to the Nester
estate and sold to Robert E. Bergeson
for $8400.
"For the year 1918, this quarter
section was assessed for $14O4, being
the rate Of one-fifth of it's actual value
or thereabouts. On this assessment
of $1404 the taxes were distributed as

be responsive only to the person by
whom it is appointed. There can be
no true democracy without schools
which are responsive to public opinion
and they can only be responsive to
public opinion through an elective su-
perintendent.

ence of North Dakota, but Of the
States generally. 1t is untried, and

Young Man Picketing Mevers' Tea
Room Was Arrested.

Chas. Tennenbaum, of Minneapolis,
a young man who has been in Minot
about three weeks. was arrested
while carrying banner in front of
the Myers Tea Room on West Central
Avenue Sunday night at 10:30. He
was charged with disorderly conduct,
but when he appeared before Judge
Lynch the following dav it was decid-
ed to drop the charge. The young man
had been employed to carry a ban
ner in front of the place, bearing the
words that the place was unfair to
organized labor, because it had not
signed the scale with the new wait
ers' union. A crowd of perhaps SO
people had gathered on the sidewalk.
obstructing the traffic. Officers told
the young man to walk on the pave
ment in front Of the place and he did
so. Atty. Eide advised him to walk
on the sidewalk. when the arrest fol-
lowed. The police department, after
considering the fact that after the new
law goes into effect July /, making it
lawful for one to picket place of
business and urge people not to pat
ronize the place, it would be of little
use to prosecute the young man, so
advised that the action be dismissed.

JONES Of WASHINGTON

Washington, oct 4.-Senator Jones
republican, Of Washington. declared in
an address in the senate today that
President Wilson, by word and deed,

peaceful representative government
than any other human agency
The presidents action in attempt
ing to "coerce" a coordinate legisla-

and conviction Of duty, Senator Jones
said, was more dangerous assault
upon democracy" and the integrity Of
this republic than any armed attack
could be-

Senator Jones said he did not ques-

ever much he might condemn his meth.
DDS, it would not influence his decis-
ion in voting on the treaty.
THE main controversy over the
treaty" Senator Jones declared was
the covenant for league Of nations.

The league covenant should not be
in the treaty he said. Months ago
the treaty with Germany should have
been made and ratified"
Senator Jones insisted that. American
representatives in the council and as
sembly of the league should be even
tually elected by the people.
The president tells the people the
world will sink into chaos if the Unit
ed States does not enter the League

from the president himself He insists
that the covenant must be accepted
