CONSUMERS STORES ...
SAY ARE NOT SELLING
BUYING CERTIFIC ATES

That the United Consumers Stores,
the Townley chain store system, are
not selling buying certificates, but are
merely making contracts with individ-
ual farmers to render them certain
services and therefore are not within
the scope Of the blue sky law, is the
contention of the attorneys for the
stores in the dispute that is on at
Bismarck between the store system
and the attorney generals office.
Negotiations are being made at Bis
marck to bring the matter before the
supreme court. The state holds that
the decision of the supreme court in
the Ignite Consumers Mining COM
pay that was prevented from selling
so-called buying certificates applies
to the operations of the Consumers
Stores, and Attorney Paddock for the
company maintains that this is not

WOrkerS Snread Lies.

81 would not have made this state
ment, continued the state auditor,
"if it had not come to my ears that
paid workers of the league are
spreading the report over the state
that am holding up certain bills
simply through spite. l have never
operated this office on a spite basis,
and don't intend to begin now. The
bills are being paid just as rapidly
as we can find money to pay them,
and they are being paid in their prop
err turn. Nobody is being favored,
and no one is being disseminated
against. l feel that in justice to my
self the people should have the truth.
I'VE have gone on creating new
commissions and new bo1rds and
new departments until we hove out
stripped out revenues. Now there
must be halt, and someone must
suffer. There's only one means of
putting money into the state treas
ury and that it through taxes, fees
or fines. We have discovered too
many ways of taking money out Of
the state treasury The last assembly
alone voted almost 100000 in emer-
gency appropriations, all of which
come out Of the general fund"

MINOT WOMAN
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Mrs. E. J. Thomas, Wife of City En-
gineer. Passed Away Sunday AZ
ter Short Illness.

The many friends of Mrs. f. J.
Thomas were deeply shocked on Sun
day afternoon, when it became known
that she had passed away at St. JOS
eph's hospital after an illness of ten
days.
Mrs. Thomas gave birth to a
daughter on Friday, March %, and
seemed in excellent condition until a
few days ago when she suddenly took
a turn for the worse and all efforts
failed to save her.
Blanche Jackson Thomas was born
in Towanda, Kansas, thirty-one years
ago last December, and with the only
daughter of Homer N. and Fannie E.
Jackson of Cressey. Michigan, where
she grew to womanhood. She was a
graduate of the State Normal school
at Kalamazoo. attended college in
Muskegon, Michigan, and later COM
pleted work at the. ZaHer school of
penmanship in Columbus. Ohio.
In the fall of 1912 Miss Jackson
came to Minot to act as supervisor OF
penmanship in the public schools. She
held that position for two years and
made most enviable record, but re.
signed at the end of that time to be-
come the bride Of F.. J. Thomas, the
CITY engineer.
The marriage took place in Cres-
sey. Mich, on August IS, 1914. i'm
mediately after which Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas returned to their own home
at 920 Third avenue N. w.. Minot.
Altho Mrs Thomas was prominent
in the circles of the First Presbyter-
ian church and in the work Of the P.
E. 0. Sisterhood, her fSst concern
was for her home and her family.
Hers was an exemplary household
and our heartfelt sympathy goes out
to the husband to whom is left the
care of two small daughters.
Aside from her husband and chill
dren, Mrs. Thomas is survived by her
mother and by two brothers in Mich
igan. Mrs. Jackson arrived in Minot
several weeks ago and was at her
daughters home when the sad end
came.
The funeral Was held from the
Thomas residence Wednesday, after
noon, the sermon being preached by
Rev. P. w. Erickson The remains
were inferred in Rose Hill cemetery,
and were followed to their resting
place by large concourse of friends.

JAS. LANDPHERE PROB

Burlington Soldier Has Been Missing
Since the Arg0nne Fight and Red
Cross Believe He Has Met Death.

James Landphere of Burlington,
who was reported as missing in action
in the Argonne fighting of Sept. &c,
in all probability lies buried in
France. His brother, Eugene, has re-
ceived word from the Red Cross, stat
ing that it is feared that he has met
death. After the fighting there were
eleven dead soldiers with their identi-
fication discs missing. They were bur
led and it is believed that James
Landphere was one of them
Mr.. Landphere, who was 81 years
Of age, and single, left Minot on
March 20 and was soon fighting in
France. His relatives received let
tiers from him regularly until about
the time of the Argonne fight.

true. Paddock makes the following
contention:

true. faduOck makes the fOllOWlnS
contention:
In the first place, in the case Of
the Ignite Consumers Mining Co.,
the counsel for the mining company
admits in the second paragraph Of his
petition that the petitioner, who was
applying for writ of .habeas carpus,
did sell buyers certificates. The po-
sition of the Consumers United Stores
Co. is that they are not selling buyers
certificates but are entering into con.
tracts with individuals.
Secondly, in the mining company
case there was no corporation in ex-
istence. The obligation, if any at all,
was the obligation of the individual
man. And the Consumers United
Stores Co., when it enters into con-
tract with an individual furnishes
him not with buyers certificate, but
with an Identification card, which
Identification card is issued in a
leather cover and which bears on it
these words: For service, Consumers
United Stores Co., Membership No.
-----; that is a member in
good standing of the Consumers Unit
ed Stores Co., and is entitled to goods
and merchandise in our stores under
the terms and conditions set forth in
contrac executed by the above men,
Der and accepted by u.s.
Contracts With Individuals.
'The identification card is the only
card that is issued by the company
The contract made with each indivd-
ual carries with it quite a large num-
Der of Liabilities which are outside
entirely Of the provisions that are to
be contained in any buyers certificate
as provided in the Ignite case.
and if the court should construe
the CONTRACT to be only an agreement
to buy a buyers' certificate, they then
would be saying that there was no
liability on that contract outside Of
the liability contained in the buyers
certificate to be issued The con-
tracts are made by the Consumers
United Stores Co., to render certain
services and use certain funds for
certain purposes. That contract is
made directly with each individual
and if we read what is termed the
blue sky law Alright, it prohibits the
selling or offering for sale of con-
tracts. There is an essential and fun
damental difference between the max
ing of contracts and the selling Of
contracts. This company has never
done anything but make contracts
with individuals. p

STATE HAS SI50,0o0
UNPAID BILLS ON File
Auditor kositzky Says There Will Not
be Enough Money to Pay Salaries
or Current Expenses for Some
Time.

Bismarck, N. D., April 4.-With
$150.0O0 in unpaid bills on file, and
with but $9,369.73 in the state treas
ury's general fund on April /, State
Auditor Carl Kositzky, stung to &C.
ton by criticism of his opponents
within the league, who have, it is al
legged, spread the report that he is
holding up certain bills through
'spite," today made public report
which would Indicate that North
rupt.
Aplri 1, 1916, the last year of the
Hanna administration, North Dakota,
after paying all it's bills, had bal
ance in it's general fund of 1922
O9O.43.
April 1, 1917, when the Townley
regime had been in the saddle only
three months, the balance in The
general fund, after all bills were paid,
was $431 ,2s2.s2.
April 1, 1918, the second year of
the Townley administration, North
Dakota had all Of it's bills paid and
$242,877.69 in it's general fund.
April l, 1919, in the third year of
the Townley era, North Dakota owes
$15O,0OO in current indebtedness, and
it has balance in it's general fnud
of $9,369.73.
The official payroll is 5000 per
month. Salaries have been paid up
to April /, but the state auditor ex-
presses the fear that officials and
employees may be forced to eschew
their semi-monthly pay checks for
some months to come.
North Dakota has $463,O out
standing in bonds, some of which fall
due this year.
For nearly four months 100000 in
bills charged against various state
institutions remain anpaid.
State institutions, says the audi
tor, are still, according to the state
ment Of Secretary Leissman of the
board of regents, paying $500 inter-
est monthly on loans negotiated with
local banks to produce funds to pay
their current expenses.
The last legislative assembly in
emergency appropriations called for
aboutssa half-million, which must
come from the general fund. Some
of these funds already have Ecen
drawn against, but there is much
more that must be set aside.
e Tax Already Collected.
A majority of the tax levied for
1918 already has been paid into the
state treasury and appropriated, de-
clares Mr. Kositzky. He states that
there remains considerable amount
due from the counties and that there
will also be some miscellaneous col
lections in June and July and some
revenue from the new oil tax, which
became effective March 1, but he
sees no hope of really catching up
with the states fast mounting tide
of expenditures until the 1919 tax
levy begins to come in next December.
''The greatest portion of our taxes
are paid in February" said Mr.. Ko-
sticky today. 'This tax has been
taken in and applied on past due
bills, 100000 of which had been run
ming for almost four months. We
will get some delinquent taxes from
now on; there will be some revenue
from fees and fines, it is difficult to
estimate how much. cannot see,
however, where we are going to get
enough money to pay salaries and
