ALIBI ART 4 HAS
HARD TIME WITH
TAX PROGRAM
Convicted Out of Own Mouth,
TOwnley Is Desperately
Grasping for Straws

"The TOwnley apOlOgists are hard
driven to explain the appropriations
and tax levies made by the Sixteenth
legislative assembly" State Tax Com
missioner, F.tiE. Packard said today
to Tribune representative. In the
closing days OF March they made elab-
crate statements as to the effect OF
these fiscal measures which they re
pudiated two weeks later when they
discovered Sthat the increase In the
state tax burden more than 200 per
cent by the late assembly. They have
since been casting about for more
'flotsam' Of }etsam In the way OF an
apology for theA financial debauch in
to which, they led the legislative as
sembly. Ht. Z
They are trying to back-fire the
blaze started in Barnes county by
Auditor" Chas. w. Nelson. The latest
is the reply to a letter written Mel
son A. Mason by J. S. Johnson OF
Wimbledon in Barnes county, and re-
ferred to Mr.. l.. A. Baker by Mr. Ma
son, the governors pricate secretary.
Mr. Johnson inquired to know about
the probable tax upon a particular
quarter section of land, and after
great labor and frequent conferences
with Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Baker evolved an
answer.
1T appears from the records that the
quarter section in question (NW' IA
of 11.140-53) was taxed in 1918 for
all purposes $31.30. Mr.. Baker puts
the best phase he can upon the situa-
ton but in spite of all that he can do,
he arrives at total tax in 1919 for
this quarter Of $50.O1, or an increase
OF $19.7O. This would be an increase
Of 63 per cent. Mr. Baker is trained
statistician, and Is altogether to hon
est for the task which has been as
signed him. The $31.3O on the Barnes
county quarter section represents
about the average tax per quarter
throughout the state; and according
to Mr. Eaker's figures which he has
made as conservative as possible, the
increased burden upon this quarter
will be &c per cent. In brief, the in
creased tax burden upon all acre prop.
erty will be for the state 63 per
cent.
"This letter to Mr. Baker has been
given to tie public as the best defense
| which can be made of the levies and
appropriations made for the 1919 leg
islatice assembly. l submit that it
Odes not make very optimistic show
ing, where those league leaders from
| the beginning have promised the farm
of the state a reduction in their
| taxes"

The mopping up process in the Vic

that the city's quota Of approximately
$780, 900 would have been subscribed
before nightfall, While there has not
been quite the enthusiasm evident in
other loan drives, the committees de-
clare the spirit shown has been typi'
every individual who registered an OBJ
lection to the size Of his quota, there
were dozen who came prepared to
subscribe more than they were asked
and at least half-dozen who did in
sist upon a larger allotment.
The tardy ones intend to come in
and are coming in. Their delay has
made the work OF the committees a
trifle more difficult, but it is believ
ed they will not prevent Bismarck
from being one of the first cities OF
more than 5000 over the top in North

Splendid reports are being receiv
