Henry Gretter of Bell township,
Cass county, as told by the
Fargo Forum. The Forum re-
ports Gretter as saying that his
taxes have been increased from
S285.S7 last year to S5O9.61
this year. The impression is
then implanted that the Non
partisan League administration
in Bismarck is solely respon-
sible for this and that these
enormous increases of taxes to
farmers are disgusting farmers
and driving them from the
League. The Forum is careful
not to give away the fact that
the |. V. A. gang runs Cass
county and that it is responsible
for most of this tax increase
paid by this farmer.
How the gang is determined
to conceal these facts is Illus
trated by the conduct of the
county officials of Cass county
| when an effort was made by a
League paper to get the item
lied figures of Gretter's taxes
and find out how much the state
was responsible for this in
crease. The officials told the
League reported that they could
not give the State Tax i'm Gret-
ter's case as they had not item
lied it yet. The reporter was
unable to secure this public in
formation which is supposed to
always be available to the pub
tic.
State Increase Small Item
AS a matter of fact, last
years records show that Gret-
GER paid S285.87 or 31.7 mills on
the valuation for that year. Of
this BIT mills, the states share
was only 4.3 mills, or Ii IL per
per cent, or $3.50. According
to the semi-official estimates Of
taxes this year, the proportion
| Of state taxes to the total tax
is practically the same as last
year. In that case Gretter
would pay S68.80 in state taxes
this year, or an increase of $780,
| 20 instead of S223.74 as the
Forum tried to make it's read
ers believe.
What proportion of the total
taxes the state tax will be this
year is indicated by a report OF
the tax levy in Jamestown this
| year.
Some Jamestown Figures
! In jamestown this year tbs
distribution of the 1919 levy is
as follows:
For state purposes 2.9S mills
or 9 per cent.
For county purposes SIS
Fmills or 20 per cent.
For Jamestown municipality
1910 mills Or 80 per cent.
For Jamestown schools, 1910
mills or SO per cent.
Which shows that the same
ratio holds good and only nine
per cent Of the money paid il
for taxes this year will go t.
the state while L per cent vii
go for county and city purposes
With the state proportion OF
the total tax so small the whole
lying campaign of the |. V. A
falls to the ground. The coun
ties are largely run by [. '. A
gangsters, and if they have tht
fixing of 81 per cent of tht
taxes, they are to blame when
ever local taxes show an I'M
usual increase.

WINS RIGHT TO USE LIFT
Court Decides Tenant Must Not Be
Forced to Climb Twelve Stories

FoFSoo 10 SlImp Twelve Stories
Herbert B. Wasserman and his fam
lily, who occupy apartments on the
twelfth and thirteenth floors of the
Lenox, Thirteenth and Spruce streets,
today are enjoying the use of the apart .
ment elevators and telephones after
these conveniences had been denied
them for week.
A dispute arose between Mr.. Wasser
man, who is wealthy manufacturer,
and Max Levy, owner of the apartment
house, over the amount of rental the
former was paying. Mr.. Wasserman
signed a three year lease October Is.
1917, with former owner of the apart g.
ments. The manufacturer agreed TO
pay $11 400 for the three years, and
paid $500 in advance.
Mr.. Levy bought the apartments at
sheriff's sale recently. 1t is said he
examined the leases of the tenants and
declared the rentals to be too low.
Some agreed to pay more, but Mr..
Wasserman refused. The apartment
owner retaliated by refusing elevator
and telephone service to Mr.. Wasser-
man and his family. The manufacturer,
in a court petition, alleged that he had
to wait long periods for an elevator,
only being brought TO the floor of bis
apartment when some other tenant was
going to the same Boor. Food had 10

SAYS WILSON AIM |
IS WORLD rule
Chief Executive Expects to Be
League Of Nations Head, De-
oIares Senator Watson
GOAL EXPLAINS ATTITUDE

President Wilson expects to become
the first president Of the world"
United States Senator James r..
Watson, of Indiana, today gave that
opinion as his confident belief" and
said 1t explains President Wilson's ac-
tions abroad and the executives great
desire for the league OF nations project
ms now shaped.
Senator Watson came to this city to
speak at the Manufacturers Club din
ner last night rendered Senator Penrose. /,
Tonight the Indiana Senator will be
present at dinner in honor Of David
Baird. political leader of southern New
Jersey, whose short term in the United
States Senate expired with the last
congress. :.
Increases Living Cost
At the Manufacturers Club this
morning. Senator Watson reviewed the
railroad situation, said Congress should
be reconvened at once, declared the
shipment of foodstuffs to Germany Is
keeping up the cost Of living in this
country. and stated that not % per
cent of the American people favor the
league of nations sponsored by Presi-
dent Wilson.
What the people want is a league
of nations" said Senator Watson. "A
league of nations is almost universally
demanded because everybody wants
something to put an end to war. I
know of no man who has discussed the
league as sponsored by President Will
son who does not want the pact
amended, except President Wilson him
self.
THE reason Mr.. Wilson did not con-
vene Congress before he sailed for
France was that he didn't want an open
forum for the discussion Of the league
of nations while he was abroad dis
cussing'it himself.
1.-THE President is over there with.
out any authority from Congress or the
people of the United States. The con.
stitution merely commissions the Presi-
dent to make peace. There is nothing
In the constitution that authorizes him
to organize league of nations.
Demands Immediate Peace
peace should be made with Ger
many right away, then the President
should come home and leave the league
of nations until later. He should get
our boys home, too, and let Europe do
its own police work.
Our boys in Russia, for example, Z
should be withdrawn. The Russian
situation is unthinkable. The Allies
should either take their hands off or
send big force, large enough to cope
with the situation"
The Indiana senator was emphatic
in his statement that Congress should
be convened Immediately. He said the
railroad situation demands it,
Experiments in government owner
ship" he continued. have already cost
the nation 81 500, 100000 The rail-
ways are facing financial crisis.
Everybody is affected by the situation,
and everybody is interested in it.. The
telephone and telegraph system situation
also is desperate and must be handled
ut once.
There must be session quickly or
there won't be any money to support
the government.
Senator Watson, while discussing the
telegraph situation, said the cables were
taken over to permit censorship of
news of the Peace Conference.

DIES AFTER HER HERO SON
Grief Said to Have Killed Mother Of
Slain Joseph Heatheote

Grief over the death of her son, who
was killed in France last July, is said
to have been the cause of the death of
Mrs. Mary A. Heathcote, 1888 Whar-
ton street, last night.
Her only son, Joseph Heathcote,
twenty years old, enlisted in Septem-
ber. 1917. and went overseas with Com
pany NJ. 10th Infantry. He was re-
ported missing and announcement of his
death came shortly after Funeral serv-
ices will be held at st. Rita's Catholic
Church. Broad and Ellsworth streets.
Tuesday. Interment will be in Holy
Cross Cemetery.
Mrs. Heathcote was the sister of
Squire James Gray, of Swarthmore. She
is survived by her husband, George
Heathcote, and two daughters.
