TAXES SHOOT UPWARD
IN NORTH DAKOTA
NON-PARTISAN LEGISLATURE
JUMPS THE AMOUNT FROM
$4,OOO,OOO TO $11,98O,OOO

BISMARCK, N. DIN the face of
the oft repeated promise that North
Dakota taxes would be reduced, the
tax bill that has been piled up by the
first 100 per cent Nonpartisan league
legislature is interesting.
AS compared with total tax col
lections the last biennial period of
less than $4,000,000, the state faces
tax collections during the next bien-
NAL period of $11, 100000, according
to an estimate prepared by the state
tax commission.
The industrial program that has
been initiated is responsible for big
portion of the increase, while there
also are other important factors en-
tering into the jump in taxes.
The tax commission finds the total
of senate appropriation bills passed
to be $6,997 1872 .38; house bill No. 1913,
" mill levy for soldiers, estimated
for the biennial period to be $780,
600; other house appropriation bills
passed, ,052.32; total of all ap-
preparation bills, $9,O96, 6857O. There
are added to this sum $4,000 in stand
ing appropriation for disbarment pro-
ceedings, $1,000 for militia grounds,
and $500 for the state poultry associ-
alton, increasing this total to $780,
234.7O.
Some Out of Special Funds.
There are deducted from this ag-
gregate $4,000 for the extension of
the Capital Street railway and $780,

SUFFRAGETTESE ENDORSE
A LEAGUE OF PEACE
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION AT
ST. LOUIS STRONG AGAINST
BOLSHEVISTS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 28.-The
National American Woman Suffrage
association today adopted resolutions
endorsing the league Of nations and
urging the United States government
ito bring about prompt redress of all
legitimate grievances" as a safeguard
against revolution by violence.
With the adoption of long list of
resolutions the convention proper
practically closed it's sessions, the for
NAL adjournment to be taken tomor-
row noon after morning session of
the league of women voters, com
posed of delegates from presidential
suffrage states. The selection of the
next convention site probably will be
left to the board of directors.
Heading the list of resolutions was
one calling upon the sixty sixth con-
gfess to submit the constitutional
amendment for nationwide woman
suffrage to the states at the earliest
possible moment. Others included:
recommendations that in the fu-
ture the government recognize the
fitness of accepting the services of
professional women in work for which
their training and experience have
well qualified them, it being said that
women physicians and dentists were
compelled to serve in the war under
the French flag because their serv-
ices were declined by the United
States government.
That congress established for the
women in industrial service per-
manent women's bureau in the United
States department of labor with ade-
quate funds to continue the work
That government residence halls
for women be placed in the hands of
women.
That congress give military rank
to army nurses.
Urging the establishment at Wash
ington of a national department of
education with secretary of educa-
ton in the cabinet.

900 for the Liberty Memorial build
ing, which come out of existing funds
and 100000 for the highway depart
ment, $181, 900 for the highway com.
mission, 8,684.60 for motor vehicle
registration, and $86,558 for the game
and fish board, which are earned by
fees, an indirect form of taxation
This leaves to be raised by state levy
or other state income, not including
fees and licenses appropriated for
specific purposes, $8,204 ,042.10.
Hail Tax Additional
The hail insurance tax of 3 cents
per acre on all tillable land, says the
tax commission, is in the nature of a
special benefit tax and is not includ-
ed. This will probably amount to
100000 per annum, or a total of
81 100000 for the biennial period. In
addition to the above, interest and
sinking funds must be provided to
care for the outstanding state bonds,
to approximately 100000
for the biennial period Sinking and
levies to cover the new bond
issues will depend entirely on the
amount of bonds issued. 1t is esti-
mated that $9,000,0O0 per annum
would have to be provided for, and
$4,000 interest annually. This
would amount to $1,68O,OO0 for the
biennial period, making the amount
to be levied by direct taxation SILL
$4,000.

THE TERRIBLE TURK
NOT GONG HUNGRY
FOOD PRICES NOT HIGH-CARE
OF ARMENIANS is GREATEST
PROBLEM

| CONSTANTINOPLE. = (Associat-
ed Press. )-Contrary to reports Tur-
key is well supplied with food, and,
while prices are unusually high, they
are much lower than those prevail
ing in the Balkan states and in some
| other countries of Europe.
The following list of current prices
which the consumer is called upon to
pay shows the actual condition.:
Flour, 26 cents pound; potatoes,
IL cents; beans, 20 cents; meat, SO
cents, and eggs, 80 cents a dozen.
Vegetables of all kinds are not. only
abundant, but relatively cheap. Cloth
ing and shoes also may be had, but
generally the prices charged are so
high as to take them far beyond the
purses of the poor. Hotel rates are
lower than in most European cities,
and the service is as good as could be
expected in country just emerging
from a long war.
In order that foodstuffs may be
placed within range of the poor, the
American food administration is now
selling white flour at ten cents a
pound, which is expected to bring
down other prices as far as the actual
necessities are concerned. The work
OF the Americans is attracting wide
attention and much interest Drugs,
and in fact all medicines, are very
scarce and expensive. Most large
centers in Turkey and Asia Minor
need medical assistance.
The care of million or more des-
titute Armenian, Syrian and Greek |
refugees in the Caucasus and thru
out Asia Minor presents a most seri-
GUS problem. It is estimated that |
there are in these countries no less
than half million fatherless child /
rem whose condition demands immedi-
ate relief. The American committee I
for relief in the near east is taking
up the task, but is finding that it's
resources are being severely taxed.
Smallpox is prevalent in Constan-
5inople, two cases having developed
IN the American colony, while the
Swedish minister is only now recov-
sring from a severe attack. Most
hospitals are hard pressed for medi-
zines and supplies, while the short
age OF physicians is pronounced.
Finances, too, are disturbing the
Turks. The Turkish pound has de-
oreciated, its present value being
7wenty per Cent below normal, while
gold is at high premium. The ex-
hange rates of money of most other
Countries also has declined, the Am
.rican dollar, the English pound and
he Greek drachmai being the only
ssues which have stood firmly at
|ar.

Kendrick Methodists rtos Build.

4 At meeting Of the trustees Of the
Methodist church, held last Monday
night, it was decided to go ahead
with building operations at once. AL
though the contract has not been let
and the plans not definitely decided
upon, it was agreed to make the
church a modern structure in every
way. A full basement will be one
of the features of the new building
and it is quite likely that furnace
heat will be supplied. 1t will be
credit to the town when completed.

Costly Water

Five hundred dollars a second
foot is being paid for water by the
potato growers in Mason Valley to
irrigate their potato crops and the
right to use the water during the
remainder of this season has been
sold i'll a number of instances at
this price, according to J. w Viii
son, pro ninent rancher of Lyon
county.
a second foot of water will irri-
gate from rs to 100 acres of land
and, according to persons familiar
with potato raising, the price is not
excessive.
The need of storage reservoir
to supply water to the ranches of
Mason and Smith valleys was never
more apparent than this year, ac
cording to Mr.. Wilson. The potato
crop. as we'll as the hay crop will
not be more than so per cent Of
normal, due to water shortage and
the water that is pow being sold to
the potato growers is being taken
from hay land in many instances.
The shortage of water this
year following the same conditions
last year has clearly demonstrated
he need of storage, E" said Mr.
Wilson, and plans are being made
rs rapidly as possible to get the
