Bill PROVIDES
FORMCOME TAX
One-fourth Of / Per Cent on
Incomes Of $1,000
Proposed.

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 1s.-R. B.
Roylance, formerly of the faculty of
the University of idaho. but now a
member Of the Nonpartisan leagues
legislative committee and its adviser
on tax matters, stated here today that
the league does not contemplate a tax
of 10 per cent on incomes of $1,000
or, mor He said, that The Herald's
story Of the income tax was correct in
essential details, but that the percent
ages were not quite right.
The bill. which is being prepared
for Introduction soon, provides for a
tax Of one-fourth of one per cent on
incomes of $1,000. The, average taz
on the first $4,000. Roylance said. is
IL per cent on earned incomes and
slightly over Q per cent on unearned
incomes. The maximum tax, however
is 10 per cen but that is on incomes
considerably in excess Of 10000.

GRAIN UNION
IN CONVENTION
Will Seek Many New Laws
Affecting Grain Grow
ing and Handling.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1S.-Protec-
ton under the mortgage and lien
laws applied to grain crops; assurance
hat licensed grain graders and in
sp~ectors, under the state grain laws
will be qualified for the job they UNI
dertake, and some adjustment which
will eliminate the present differences
between the grain grades of North
Dakota, under which elevator men of
this state buy, and the grades Of Min
nesota, under which they sell, are
some of the things which the Grain
Mems union, which has been on con-
vention here all week, will seek from
the present legislative assembly.
At present the mortgage who
takes a mortgage on a farmers grain
is not required to notify the elevator,
which may buy the grain and then
find it encountered. The same is true
Of liens, thirty days notice of whose
filing must be given to everyone con-
cerned except the elevator.
Under the state law licensing grain
buyers the elevator men believe there
should be created a competent state
board of examiners which will issue
no license until satisfied as to the ap-
p%licants qualifications. AS the law
now stands, it is alleged, anyone with
WV a procure a Incense 10 Uuy, III
spect and grade grain.
The North Dakota grain grades, the
elevator men declare, differ radically
from those of Minnesota. No. ]
wheat in North Dakota may grade
No. 3 or No. 4 in Minnesota. The ele-
vator mar will ask for a schedule OF
grades which will stand up at the
terminals as well as the primary
markets.
Secretary George N. Remission yes
terday addressed the grain men on
the new distance tariff schedule pro-
posed by Director General William G,
McAdoo of the United States railway
administration. This afternoon the
grain men adopted resolutions pro-
testing this rate, as unjust to North
Dakota and all of it's interests.

$588,OOO
I'm explanation Of the item of
$780, 900 for state aid for .~transporta-
ton of pupils in rural schools, I will
state that 1 consider this of the most
vital Importance. Consolidated school
districts are required by law to fur
nish free transportation to pupils.
Practically every such district is in
financial difficulties at the present
time and this in spite of the fact thai
the tax levy made by such. districts
is as high as the law allows. Many
districts which cannot now enjoy the
benefits of consolidated schools on
account of the expense of t~ransporta-
ton of pupils could do so if the state
would assist by giving financial aid
to be used solely for transportation
Other states have recog-
nized that rural school districts need
such aid for this purpose, and per-
sonally L do not feel that the rural
schools of our state can reach their
highest point of efficiency until our
state makes appropriation for flnan-
cial assistance to help bear the ex-
pense of transportation Of pupils.
IF your committee viii! permit H.
I would be very glad of the opportu-
nifty of meeting with you and explain
ing more in detail the absolute neces-
sity of the appropriation which l
nave recommended, and l wish TO
state that I will in the near future
make additional recommendations IN
volvine the appropriations for the
public schools of the state

NELSON
ASKS $263,000
FUND INCREASE
Superintendent of Instruc-
ton Presents Needs to APP
Preparations Committee.
Request Includes $4,000
For Consolidated School
Aid in North Dakota.

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 1S.-Miss
Minnie ]. Nelson, who now holds the
office of superintendent of public in
struction, has written John Maddox,
chairman of the appropriations COM
m1ttee of the house. regarding appro-
priations for work among the rural
schools of the state. She makes a
request for $1,000 additional for
graded school aid. 5000 900 additional
for one-room rural school aid and
$4,000 additional for consolidated
school aid. She also asks 100000
in state aid for transportation.
The transportation aid is asked on
the grounds that each consolidated.
school district is required by law to
furnish free transportation to pupils,
and that each district must maintain
three or four buses at an expense of
sos a month to do this. Because of
the fact hat many districts cannot
meet the transportation expense, they
are deprived of the benefits of a con-
solidated school.
Miss Nelson's letter to Mr.. Mad
dock follows:
January II, 1919.

 Nice ss somewhat liee an eIabor- ate Atlantic City and thus familiar, but Monte Carlo and Monaco are unique. Nice lies or a fat area be- tween mountains and sea, but here there is no fiat area and the cities are perched on the mountain side, which, however. become less abrupt near the sea. Everything is therefore ter raced and it is very wonderful what, with stone and cement, they have i been able to do The roads of course run slant wise mostly and the grades are quite gradual. The casino has beautiful semi-tropical garden be- hind and around 1t and terraces with grand sea view in front.

Everything was perfectly clean and the bed all one could ask. Tn reality l much prefer this place to Nice.
