 THE COUNTRY COUSIN

Heartily endorsed by press and public everywhere, Alexandra Carlisle and her original company comes to the Columbia theater today for a tWo-day stay in The Country Cousin from the pens of Booth Tarkington and Julian Sstreet. The play has the breath of purity of the countryside and a per meating influence Of sincerity and sim plicity that is absolutely refreshing.
 There is pathos in the story of the playa pathos born of the system of society that makes the children suffer for the tomfoolery of the parents. but out of it all comes the basic theory that god woman. provincial though she may be, can dominate a situation and ultimately set matters right. even to the extent of inducing a fool :U think.
 Speaking from his box on the open ing night of the play in New York city, the late eX President Theodore Roose- welt said:
 The Country Cousin" is first class American play. It emphasizes the les son that I have been trying to teach for such a long time It is splendid argument for universal military train ing.

MAY Be SPECIAL SES,
SION EARLY IN OCT.
State Officials to Be Impeached =
Woman Suffrage Question to Come
Up-MilliOn Dollar Deficit.

There is talk of special session Of
the legislature about Oct. 1, at which
time impeachment proceedings are to
be instituted against Atty. Gen. VIM.
LANCER, Auditor Kositzky and Secre-
tary of State Tom Hall. Gov. Frazier
has not issued the call yet but the re-
port is current at Bismarck that this
is to be done. The report states that
the Governor has the goods" on the
officials, but just what they are re-
mains to be seen.
"Bill' LANCER does not appear to be
worrying. He is charged by number
of league newspapers with not taking
the proper action following the pois-
onin@ of the Bowen cattle, leading to
trouble which resulted in the killing
of Bowen in neighborhood feud.
LANCER has offered each of these pa
pers $1,000 if they will prove the
charges.
Then there is the woman suffrage
question to come up at the special ses-
sion unless it can be "ducked." The
women elected Minnie Nelson and
there is no telling what they would do
in another election if given equal suf-
frage powers with the men.
And then the legislature will have
to make provision to meet the million
dollar state deficit. These are rumors
that are afloat at Bismarck.

cided to raise the Ward county valua-

is hoped not so much as it had intend
ed.
The land in Trail county was left at
S32.17. Mr.. Vandenoever compared
this valuation with that of Ward
county, explaining that in 1918, many

err rate Of taxes a paper saving might
be shown for the present administra-
tion.
State Auditor Kositzky contends
that the assessed valuation is now
high enough, if not too high. He
points to the fact that the county audi
tors are required by law to levy a
one mill tax for school purposes up
on all taxable property and that the
fiat levy of one-half mill for soldiers
bounty will also apply to the whole as
sessed valuation as finally fixeds
Therefore, he insists, any boost in
valuation will automatically increase
the taxes which property holders must
pay into these two funds, and he does
not believe that such increase is neces-
sary.
