Tax Sho!ing From This Dawn Of New Day--t's Great
SPOKE ON THE /.
FRENCH SOLDIER:

In spite of the cold weather, very
good sized audience was in attendance
at the Open Forum Sunday evening
at the Congregational church, to hear
Professor F. j. Spalding talk about
the French Soldier. Prof. Spalding
spent fourteen months overseas as an
athletic worker among the French
troops, so is we'll qualified to speak
upon this subject, although he stated
at the beginning of his talk that he
did not wish his statements to be tax
en- as general, as his experience had
been too limited, also that he had not
seen the French soldier in action in
the trenches, his work dealing only
with the French soldier at play and as
he observed him in civic life
Among the A. E. F. there has been
quite tendency to criticize the
French soldier. Mr.. Spalding explain
ed how this feeling would easily arise
from the differences between the
American and the Frenchman. In the
first place our boys did not have a
chance to see much of the best type
of French soldier. France had been
at war almost four years when the
Americans entered war. The cream
of the French army had been sent to
the front and been depleted so that the
ranks had to be filled with men ply
sically inferior both to those first mo-
bilized and to the American soldiers.
It was with these physically inferior
men that the American soldier came
in contact and naturally the compariz
son was not hattering to the French
soldier. Also there were many diff
ferences in customs and in the value
placed upon money. Naturally thrifty,
the French e~,v nothlue wrong in
raising prices when they learned how
well paid the American SID CT was as
compared with the French. =
The French are not an athletic peo-
pie as we consider athletics, conse-
quently ther could not be much frater-
ntzing on that score. VI
The speaker said that from his linz
tied observation he judged the French
people to be friendly people, but
without the idea of service to the
stranger. Upon acquaintance they are
very friendly and helpful. This lack
of helpfulness seems to be due to lack
of training and the individualistics
mode of living, rather than to real
selfshness, and was more noticeable
in certain parts of the country than
in others. Laying aside all personal
differences and pecularities the speak
er said one must feel real admiration
for the devotion of the French soldier
to his country and the spirit with
which he had endured great suffering
and hardship Rs
Mr. Spalding's talk was followed
with interesting discussions from the
floor, mostly by those who had been
overseasoverseas, and had also had an
opportunity to make a passing ac-
quaintance with the French soldier.

A FEW VOTES

Bismarck, Dec. 1.-Regardless of
what legislative action may be taken
at this extraold nary session called by
Governor Frazier, there have been un-
looked for results that should tend to
clarity the political situation. When
the special session convened the
league was short four votes of a
two-third majority in the senate and
the house short eight votes, in the
latter instance the eight being men
who had revolted from the autocratic
control. I5a
A study Of the fences has been de-
cidedly interesting. Some of the eight
who bolted the league havb been
swung back in line. The means? If
the Townley gang win the next cleo
ton, the offices of the attorney gen
eral, state auditor and the secretary
Of state will be vacant There are
some excellent well-paid deputyships,
It's easy. zr.
However, the most significant Of all
Of the situations arising in connection
with the special session, is the near
idefection of Walter Maddox, league
floor leader Maddox has come out
ton and Waters must 60. At the last
Legislative session Maddox was op-
posed to the Brinton newspaper grab
law and fought it in the secret caucus
but was swung into line. Now he is
out openly with a fight against the
newspaper bill He. doesn't go so far
as to call J. R. Waters and J. W.
Brinton nasty names, but he plainly
indicates that. he is not at all in sym"
pathy with the action Of the two
league captains of high finance,
There has been too much autocracy
and not enough democracy in the non
partisan league to suit Maddox. He
mas been one of those who have exact
ed promise that the league will be
re-organized along democratic lines at
the meeting in St, Paul which will be
called very shortly. It. is further
averred upon excellent authority that
nearly a score of more members in
the house and the senate have had
their eyes opened by the exposures in
connection with the Scandinavian
American bank case, and while they
are still standing more or less pat, are
taking the dope they are handed with
a few grains of salt.
Whether Maddox can be relied
upon to continue in his change of
heart role may best be judged by the
incident at the last regular session
when he tried to ride the fence. The
minority members knew that either
Stair orr ddock would be named
speaker of the house,. AS the lesser
Of two evils they were inclined to sup
port Maddox. They called him out
of the secret caucus and offered their
support. Maddox, however, had lost
out in the secret caucus election of the
league members, but he proposed to
the minority members that they give
him a chance to 'get in right with the
league leaders.
The bolstering Of the fences, the
whipping into line of detectives, is be-
ing accomplished through "next-elec-
ton promises" but the fact remains
that the plain attitude of TIE league
members augurs disaster for the pres=
cnt system of autocratic control and
a reorganization on democratic prin-
ciples. -y

A RECORD BREAKER

When it comes to holding basket
socials you have got to give it to the
people Of Cuba. Last night a basket
social was held at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Nc Cready and it was some
social. The people down there we
guess must all be good cooks because
those baskets sold from SIS up to $14
which shows that the bidders knew q
good thing when they see it. The total
sum received from this basket sale
was $151.8 .85: The money is to be used
for the purchase Of phonograph to
be used for community doings and
parties. They are 81 wide awake

,JURIST INSISTS
BURDEN BE RAISED

Addressing to the legislature his
second message Of the present spe-
cial session, Associate Justice. James
II. Robinson, league member Of the
supreme court, yesterday afternoon
predicts revolution if the excessive
tax burdens in this state are not re-
duced.
His official message is as follows:
81 Message No. 2.
BY Justice j. E. Robinson
To the Lawmakers
Gentlemen: Can you discern the
signs of the times? Have you heard
from the election in Towner County,
and do you know what it portends !?
AS / think, it shows that there is a
growing revolt-a revolution against
the assessments and the tax levies for
this year. The. revolt has only be-
gun; it is sure to pread and grow
stronger and stronger unless some
thing is done to stop it. And, it is
now or never.
As you know, the assessment is
four and one-half times greater than
in any former year, and the result is
that all the tax levies are grossly ex-
acessive. What must we do to be
saved? The proper remedy is to
undo the wrongs to pass an act with
an emergency clause reducing all the
tax levies fifty per cent; also a bill
reducing some of the appropriations,
and a bill cutting out all needless ex-
penses. @
Y Under the constitution all property
must be assessed for taxation in the
district in which it is situated. Then
the taxes must be levied pursuant to
law by the state and the several mu-
inequalities. Aside. from the small
sum necessary to pay interest on the
state debt, the state may levy no tax
in any one year in excess of four
mills on the dollar Of the assessed
valuation. All property must be tax
ed by uniform rule according to it's
true value in money. These provi-
sions of the constitution may not be
evaded by excessive valuations or by
levying specific taxes, such as the
motor vehicle tax, the money and cred
its tax, the income tax, head tax
on lawyers, doctors and clergymen. A
person has a right to live and to do
an honest business without paying a
head tax. With few exceptions all the
property Of the state must be assessed
for taxation in the county, township,
city or village in which it is situated.
The assessment must be made in the
manner prescribed by law, and not by
the arbitrary act Of any board Rev
fenue sufficient to defray the expenses
of The state for each year, not to ex-
ceed, four mills on the dollar, must be
levied on the valuation Of all props
erty and not on anything else. Now
on the assessment of any prior year
the annual state tax of this year is
twelve mills on the. dollar, and the
specific tax levies are nearly another
twelve mills, or in all twenty-four
mills. The result is that all the tax
levies are grossly excessive. The
remedy is to undo the wrong, to re-
duce all the regular annual tax levies
fifty per cent, and to cut out all the
other levies. Will you do it This is
your last chance.

A VERY PLEASING
RECITAL AIT NORMAL

b a large and much pleased audience
attended the recital at the Normal
School Auditorium, given under the
auspices of the Dakota Drug Com
pany, under the invitation and super
vision of Manager A. S. Sigurdson,
last night. It was one of the most
pleasing concerts or recitals given in
the city Miss Amy Ellerman, the
noted and celebrated contralto ap-
peared in recital, together with the
Fleming Sisters Trio, musical gen
fuses and Mr.. Calvin Coke, tenor. A
varied and pleasing concert was given:
Miss Ellerman has very rich and
full contralto voice and her work was
indeed pleasing to all present. The
Fleming Sisters are very good indeed,
one as pianist, one as cello player and
the other as violinist. Mr.. Coke has
a very fine tenor voice and he also
greatly pleased the audience with his
work. All the performers were re-
peatedly encored. The object Of the
recital, in addition to giving the peo-
pie musical treat, was to show how
wonderfully the Edison phonograph
could re-create the human voice so
that. is was almost impossible to dis
tinguish the voice of the singer or
player from the recreation as pro-
sduced by this wonderful instrument
which has been called "the phono-
graph with a soul" Last night this
wonderful machine demonstrated that
it was rightly named. Timefand time
again as Miss Ellerman stood beside
the phonograph and sang, stopping
her own voice suddenly, it was hard to
realize from her voice that came from
the phonograph that it was that in.
3strument that was doing the singing
reproducing very correctly, her own
voice. So it was with the cello, the
violin and the piano. It was a wonder
full demonstration Of wonderful ma
chine with soul" The entire re-
;-cital was pleasing to all and greatly
enjoyed, aud we wish to Congratulate
Manager Sigurdson on the success Of
the whole affair. Mr.. Calvin Coke
operated the photograph and acted as
conductor during the evenings en-.
tertainment. N
