In appearance this Oldsmobile is
year, perhaps more, ahead of the
times. Long, low body lines that
merge perfectly with the cleverly
designed Windshield and rakish top,
make it the smartest new car of the
year. A wealth of other thoughtful
touches add further to its distinction.
In all mechanical essentials the
chassis adheres closely to the design
and construction of the Oldsmobile
that has proven so strikingly the
supreme probability and economy
Of the light weight "eight." But
many refinements have been made.
Added rigidity and strength have

been given the frame. An unusual
new method of suspending the very
long, flexible, semi-elliptic rear
springs has brought about unsur-
passed riding quality.
By all means see this new Oldsmobile.
Let us demonstrate the two-phase
power feature that makes possible
IAN idling pace and q thrilling
speed" the smooth motor operation
and lightning like acceleration, the
ability to negotiate all roads with
minimum effort. Let US show you
why this, the smartest new car of
1919, is also the outstanding value
of the season.

STANDARD OIL !.
MAY PAY TAX
AMIDON SAYS CORPORA
TION RAISED PRICES TO GET
TAX AND KEPT MONEY

Holding that money collected by
the Standard Oil Co. through raise
in the price of gasoline for the pur-
pose of paying the new state oil tax,
which has been wrongfully kept by
the company, Judge Charles F. Ami
don, of the United States district
court in Fargo, Tuesday handed down
decision refusing to restrain the
state from collecting these taxes.
In setting forth the grounds of
this decision, Judge Amidon told of
the dealings Of this monopoly with
the people and government of North
Dakota in the following language.
Il. The statute is passed as re-
venue measure, as a means of collect
ing an indirect tax. 2. Plaintiff ac-
cepts it as such, increases the price
of it's product and sends notice to it's
customers that the added price is de-
manded for the tax. 8. The consumer
pays it as the tax. A. Plaintiff re-
ceives it as the tax. 5. The next step
ought to be that plaintiff would pay
it over to the treasury as part Of
the public revenue. But at this point
the orderly process contemplated by
all parties is stopped and plaintiff at
tempts to hold the money for it's pri-
vate enrichment instead Of paying it
into the treasury. In my Judgment
whatever the ultimate holding may be
in regard to the law, the state treas
ury has a better right to the money
than the plaintiff" -
The effect of Judge Anidon's de-
cision will be to pave the way for the
early collection Of tax from the
Standard Oil company which now
amounts to fully $25O0OO. On Thurs
day, however, Judge Amidon granted
an appeal of the case to the United
States Supreme Court and with it the
postponement Of the collection of the
tax for 20 days pending the perfecting
of the appeal.

IVA. ATSESSl0N
AS WRECKERS
TRY TO HOLD UP TAX REDUC-
TION AID TO FARMERS AND
BILL TO HELP SOLDIERS

During the special session Of the
legislature the l. v: A. betrayed the
utterly negative and destructive char
acter of it's politics and the complete
insincerity and dishonesty of it's pre-
tensions.
When League members in the house
Monday introduced a bill making all
legislation passed at this or any spec
ial session effective ten days after the
close of the session the opposition put
up one of the most desperate parlia-
mentary battles of the session. They
had counted on swinging enough weak
kneed Leaguers to prevent the at
tachment to bills passed of the emer-
gency clause making these measures
Immediately effective. In this way
they thought they had tied up all vi
tai League legislation until July 1.
When they saw that they were de-
feated in this attempt to prevent leg
islation, their rage knew no bounds.
Had their plans been successful,
not only would they have prevented
legislation from going into effect OBJ
jectionable to them, but they would
have blocked the most urgent and vi
tai legislation in the interest Of the
state and all the people from going in,
to effect until too late. Among the
measures they were willing to hold
up were the law extending the action
~
emergency laws to help the farmers
in the drouth stricken parts of the
state, the reduction of appropriations
and taxes a million dollars, or Is per
cent, and other measures of equal
Importance to all the people. These
politicians were willing to prevent all
these laws from going into effect now
if by doing so they could wreck the
state administration and destroy the
League.
In another case the I. V. A. polite
ians completely exposed their sham
pretensions on the tax issue, even 60
ing to the length of voting against
reduction of state funds amounting to
total of more than a million dol
lars after they had repeatedly told
the voters that their principal concern
was to cut down state expenses and
save the people from high taxes.
When the budget revision bill came
UP in the house Tuesday the I. V. A.
members voted solidly against it. A
little later when the League measure
proposing a straight rebate Of Is per
cent on taxes this year was introduce
ed, they voted solidly for it. In other
words, after they tried to make such
rebate Of taxes impossible by re-
fusing to reduce the state funds, they
voted for it. Their plan would not
have reduced taxes, but if they had
been carried out in full they would
have made further government ir, this
state by the present administration i'm
possible. Their actions prove that
this is all they have ever desired and
that their pretended concern about
the taxpayers has been the most dis
honest kind of hypocrisy.

MEMBERS WANTED IN
STATE AUTO CLUB

A state wide campaign is being in
augurated to secure members in the
North Dakota Good Roads Associa-
ton, which formed at Minot at the
delegate convention held December
SCn. rs.f-,t- e4e-~- - ~;
This movement promises to be one
Of the greatest in it's line ever at
tempted. It is entirely without poll
tical color and has for its sole aim
the education Of the people to an ap-
preceiation of good roads and to pro-
mote the building of scientifically
constructed highways in all parts Of
the state. There are about eighty
thousand automobile owners in the
state and it is desired to enlist them
all, If possible, in this new movement.
With this purpose in view, the or
ganization will be completed along in
tensive lines. Olaf Lokensgard, presi-
dent Of the association is authorized
to appoint vice president in every
county, who shall be president of a
local good roads organization and who
shall be authorized to organize the
townships Of his county, thus cover
ing the whole state closely with the
organization.
President Lokensgard will shortly
make an appointment for this coun-
ty and in the meantime good roads
boosters are eager to assist in the
movement, and there seems to be no
doubt that as soon as opportunity Of
fers, automobile owners will gladly
pay $1.O0 fee required to join the as
sociation. If you have choice for
vice-president for your county write
Olaf Lokensgard, Snyder, N. Dakota.
AS stated by one of the speakers
at the Minot meeting. 1.-THE Associa-
tion is not for day, but for all time, !"

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

On Sunday morning at 10:45 the
pastor will discuss the subject "The
Question of the Wise Men," Coming
at this season of the year the subject
is timely and should prove of interest
to all.
The regular Sunday School hour
is 1915 o'clock, following the morn
ing service.
The Christian Endeavor society will
meet in the class room of the Church
at $50 Sunday evening and this SER
vice will be followed by the regular
evening service which begins promptly
at 7:30. Owing to the approach Of the
Christmas season the pastor has
deemed it fitting to discontinue the
series Of sermon lectures on "The
Young Mans Make-Up," and his sub
ject at the evening service will be
somewhat Of a continuance of the
morning subject, as follows ,"Our Star
That Leads to The Christ"
Special Christmas music at both
morning and evening services Sunday,
by the choir.
Last Sundays services were partic-
ularly interesting. Especially was the
evening service worthy of special men,
tion, the pastor being at his best and
his discussion 'cf the subject "The
Sense of the Young Man Doing Right"
could not fail to direct message to
all. The pastor promises to continue
this series after the holiday season.
Next Wednesday evening the Sun
day School assisted by the choir, will
give a program, followed by a
Christmas tree at the church, to which
the public is cordially invited.
"A cordial welcome awaits strangers
at this church, and those without a
home church are especially invited to
worship with us.

DECLARE FOR
! PLUMB PLAN
ST. PAUL CONVENTION VOTES
ALSO TO TAKE PART IN
COUNTY POLITICS

tlon at st. Paul Thursday, voted to
take part in county politics in the fu-
ture and passed resolutions favoring
free speech and assemblage, defining
Americanism, condemning peace-time
sedition laws and suppressive legis-
lation, advocating industrial and gov
ernmental changes by legal orderly
processes of legislation, recommend
ing amendments to any sedition law
passed, making it sedition to incite
to- mobbings or violence, denouncing
militarism and compulsory military
training in time Of peace, urging a
congressional investigation with the
view of preventing war with Mexico,
demanding hands off Russia, and de-
claring for the naturalization of coal
mines and railroads and the Plumb
plan of railroad operation.
The decision to take part in coun-
ty politics fas largely determined by
the experiences Of the League in
North Dakota, it being shown that
where counties are left in possession
Of the opposition the latter take ev-
cry advantage Of office to destroy the
farmers state administration.
"Americanism,," says one resolu-
tion, primarily means the right of
the majority to change laws and
amend constitutions in accordance
with the will of the majority to meet
and eradicate grievances of the peo-
ple."
In the midst Of the present reaction
and national confusion on fundamental
principles, this definition undoubted-
ly takes us back to the original mean
ing of Americanism as embodied in
the Declaration of independence and
the Constitution, and it can have no
other effect than to clarity the minds
of the people in the presence Of sham
"sAmericanism" which seeks to enforce
Hoyalty' and "Americanism" by
braggadocio, bluff, brutality and sup
preston.
A resolution points out that at no
time, can self-government be success
full or safe without widest latitude be-
ing given discussion Of ideas, opinions
and policies.
Our government rests uopn the will oil
the people and there can be no viii
of the people unless there be free
speech and liberty to advocate chang.
es by orderly methods. Peace time
sedition laws were condemned as two
edged suppressive legislation and the
old Alien and Sedition laws which
wrecked the Federalist party were
cited. It was asked that laws direct.
ed against men and movements plan.
ming a violent overthrow of the gov.
ment be extended to punishment Of
those who melted to any kind of mob.
bing or violence as these tended tt
bring about civil war and the violent
over throw of the government.
