the United States toward Russia and the presence upon

The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1919-03-21

IfGovernor Frazier and the members
of the legislature connected with the
Nonpartisan League were sincere in
their statement that the people should
be given chance to vote on some of the
radical laws that they enacted that had
never been discussed in the campaign
last fall, why did they send out speakers
Immediately upon the adjournment of
the legislature advising the people not
to sign such petitions. 1t looks to an
outsider like they are becoming alarmed
that the people are realizing the fact
that they we're led into trap by those
trying to get fat jobs at the expense
Of the taxpayers Of the state. II the
laws are all right the people who cleo
ted them by large majority will sure
u stand by them. But they see the
handwriting on the wall and are trying
to ward it off.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1919-03-21

An appreciation of the newspaper and
what its editor does for the community
is we'll expressed in an article credited
to Ex-Governor Francis of Missouri. 1t
follows: Ex-Governor Francis once said
the following of newspapers: Each year
the local newspaper gives from $500 to
$1,000 in free lines to the community in
which it is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The editor, in pro.
portion to his means, does more for his
town than any other ten men, and in all
fairness he ought'to be supported-not
because you like him or admire his
writings, but because the local paper is
the best investment community can
make. It may not be brilliantly edited
or crouded With thought. but financially
it is more benefit to the community than
the preacher or teacher. Understand
me, I do not mean mentally, and yet on
moral questions you will find most of
the papers on the right side. To-day
the editors Of the local papers do the
most for the least money of any people
on earth.

NEXT YEARS TAXES.

Bismarck, N. Oak, March I4.-Show.
ing how the leagues reclassi6cation
plan will increase assessed valuations in
North Dukota from S40a422,258 to
81, ,239, ,650, ,85l, and the four-mill levy for
state purposes from $l,6l3.689 to
"a ,95S S603, State Auditor Karl Kositzky,
a prominent league member Of the state
administration, today issued the follow.
ing interesting table, whose correctness
he vouches for.
The assessment of properties as given
for 1918 is based on the old rate; that
for 1919 is based on the new rate,s made
effective by league measures passed by
the recent general assembly.
A farmer who paid $40 in state tax
last year, on his land. will. pay $40 this
year. A farmer who had horse assess
ed at $50 last year will have the same
animal assessed at $50 this year. Own
ers of bank stock will pay five times as
much in taxes as they did year ago;
railways will pay 3.33 times as much as
they did last year.
State Auditor Kositzky is inclined to
doubt whether the four mill levy for
state purposes, even on the vastly in-
creased assessed valuation brought
about through the leagues reclassi6ca-
ton, will suffice to meet expenditures
provided for in the appropriation bills
of the last assembly.
AS matter of fact, State Auditor
Kositzky estimates that the levy for
state purposes. including the half-mill
levy for soldiers relief aud the levy of
approximately one mill which will be
required for the interest and sinking
fund of 81 100000 per annum which will
be required to retire the states
sl7.0O0,OOO bond issue in 80 years, will
more neary approximate five mills.
Should the state levy 60 to five mills,
the farms of North Dakota will pay a
tax of s3,690,990 for 1919, the railways
81 ,297 ,4S5. and all property combined,
6.19S. .254, as compared with Sl,6l3, ,689

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

The Pioneer Express, with the major
ity of the people of the United States
have given but little thought to the gen.
eral outcome of the proposed League Of
Nations as now being advocated by
President Wilson, ex-president Taft and
others high up in authority. That
these people may be wrong in their
views the same as any other mortals,
goes without saying. President Wilson
said when he'found. opposition in Con-
gress that he had Fighting blood in his
VEINS" He will find that there are men
in Congress with rs much lighting blood
in their veins as the president has and
whose judgement is to be as much re-
lied ON as his. who are opposed to Ieag-
ne with European powers on such gi-
gantic scale as is being proposed. Up
to the present time the advocates Of the
league do not seem able to give any rea-
son where we would be benefited.
This country would have one vote out
of nine in the proposed league. One
vote for the United States, a republic,
to eight votes for countries that have al
ways ridiculed and bellttled our form of
government. Countries that have ne
YER had respect for US and would hold
us in contempt today we're it not for the
record our soldiers have made on the
battle fields in France.
The statement that it will prevent fu.
ture wars we have but little faith in as
it is empty and meaningless as was the
slogan ''he kept US out Of war" in the
campaign of 1915. The German people
said that treaty is nothing but q
piece Of paper" when they thought they
had the upper hand. There is nothing
to prevent us getting into tangle with
European monarchies that will make us
under obligation to the whole Of them.
We have grown from a small and
weak nation to giant in less than a
hundred years, with practically all the
powers Of Europe prejudiced against US,
and now we are the dominant nation Of
the world. We have fought our way
through the trials Of the past without
any such league. and the Pioneer Ex-
press believes that we are able to get
along It this stage without tying i mill
stone around our neck or weight to
Uncle Sans coat tail that Is snre TO
bring on trouble come time. We would
