TAX MEASURES
APPROVED BY
LEAGUE CAUCUS
a$ "
Eight Bills, Covering the
Entire Program, Are
Adopted.
TO BE INTRODUCED
IN THE SENATE
Income Tax, Patterned Aft
"a. er Wisconsin Law, is
Most Important.

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. ,23.-With
the Introduction this. afternoon in the
senate of nine tax bills; embodying
the leagues complete program for the
revision of the tax laws and for meas
ures that will enable the to raise
the vast amount needed in additional
revenues, the legislature now faces
n Of the most important problems
that will come before it.
With an outlook for an actual in
crease in the states expenditures of
approximately 1900, 900 during the
next two years, the problem is indeed
one of Importance. At the outset,
there is an increase Of $4,000 0 in the
budget for this year and added to this
Is $780, 900 needed by the industrial
commission to carry out the program
assigned to it.
Must Pay Interest. 4
Then comes the payment of interest
on the 100000 state bond issues
contemplated to finance the state
bank and state utilities. The interest
rate is not to exceed six per cent,
which makes it necessary to raise
$4,000 more a year to pay the in
terest on the bonds. This means rais-
ing $4,000 for interest alone in the
biennial period.
League leaders have. taken all this
into consideration, however, and to-
day they t.ust their revenue bills into
the hopper. 1t is planned to raise
much of this revenue by the income
tax, the excise tax against corpor-
atoms, the gross earnings a and the
Redistribution act.
= Must Raise Valuations.
League members are willing to ad-
NIT, however, thai they will not be
able to, raise enough revenue from
these sources alone, so an increase in
the assessed valuation faces the
people. In orde:.to raise $1,000 900 ad-
ditional for the state treasury under
direct taxation an increase of $685.
Oo0, 900 in the assessed valuation Of
the state will. be necessary, as the
state is limited to a four mill levy. If
it becomes necessary to raise the
states income from direct taxation by
a half million dollars, it would be
necessary to increase, the assessed
valuation Of the state to $125,000 900.
Other Big Problems.
But there are other problems to be
faced. The needs of all state de-
partments are constantly increasing
and despite the fact hat the budget
Is increased by half a million dollars,
this year, none Of that money goes
for new buildings at the various in
stitutions. ...E,-
Many Of the institutions will need
new buildings within the mex fou or
six years and provision must be made
fo::ssthem. To keep all the state
owned Industries in operation will
zncan additional appropriation for
each biennial.
So the leagues tax program has
become n Of paramount interest
and importance. There is nothing of
Importance on the calendar Of either
house today.

ca Thomasini, occurred last evening at

was found that she was suffering from
Inflammation Of the heart, and she de
clined quite rapidly until her death last
evening
She leaves. besides the mother, two
sisters, Aurelia, Ii, and Lena, nine, and
two brothers, Paul, 10, and Anibale, Is,

Lipsky officiating. Burial will be at

his home in Canada, after spending a
few days with Mr.. and Mrs Paul Beau

Some inquiries have been received by
the Victory arch disposal committee
concerning the auction sale of the arch.
The terms will be announced by Auc-
tioneer d. A. Perry. who has consented
to swing the hammer and Juggle the
English tomorrow morning, beginning
at ll:30 This hour was arranged for
the convenience of the granite manu-
facturers, several of whom have mani
tested a desire to purchase the proper
ty since the lumber used to construct
it cost more than $500 But regardless
of the cost the arch is to be sold to
the highest bidder just as it stands to-
day, though the terms will doubtless
exclude the panels bearing Barre City
and Town honor roll The sculptured
work that was so hurriedly constructed
was nevertheless artistieally completed,
and to some Of these many granite
firms, it is believed, will be disposed

She Guarantees Assistance
if France Is Attacked
by Germany
TREATY RATIFICA-
TIONS EXCHANGED
This Is the Treaty in Which
United States Was to
Be a Party

Paris, Nov q. Stephen Pichon,
French foreign minister, and Sir Eyre
Grove, assistant under secretary for
foreign affairs Of Great Britain, last
night exchanged ratifcations of the
treaty guaranteeing British aid to
France if, without proyocation, she is
attacked by Germany
Sir Eyre is the representative Of
Great Britain on the supreme council in
the absence of Premier Lloyd George.
The announcement to-day of the rati.
fication of the treaty caused consider
able surprise, because it had been gem
orally understood that Great Britain
would not ratify the treaty before its
ratification by the United States.
Although the treaty was ratified last
night it does not come into force until
the similar treaty with the United
States has been ratified.
