Some school officers believe in "pas-
sing the buck" to the county super
intendent. They all know OF should
know if they are directors, that no
one can teach unless they have fin-
ished three years in high school and
are at least eighteen years of age
Yet some directors have promised
girls certain schools if they could get
a permit. We do not intend to vio-
late the law in this matter for anyone
and hope that no one who is friend
of ours will ask us to do 80. The
three-year requirement was let down
last year on account Of such gen.
eral scarcity of teachers especially
after the "flu." The three-year re-
quirement is not law but a ruling Of
the state board. The eighteen year
Requirement is law.

been received from the state. When
we have figured up the amount, togeth
er with the county apportionment we
will publish what each district gets.

facts from orr annual report soon.
4 We have had printed cards warming
school patrons against the violation
of the compulsory attendance law.
This should not be necessary but the
way some are violating this law it
almost seems that they do not know
such law is on the statute books.

tax Of 1906, ,s45.OO made total burden
for all state purposes of $24,379, ,100.46
The above figures have been COM
piled by Assistant Attorney General
F. E. Packard, who formerly was head
Of the state tax commission.
II have on hand two local tax levy
figures which speak for themselves =
he said. "A certain quarter section
Of land near Flasher, Morton county,
last year paid a total county, state
school, township tax Of 40 mills. This
year the total tax will be 21.7s mills
but the valuation last year was $1179
and this year is $3545, an increase Of
200 percent. Last year the total tax
es were $47.16, but this year they will
be $81.71, and when you add 80 cents
an acre on $50 acres Of land, subJec,
to hail insurance tax, t! farmer is
paying just 1895 more taxes thar
last year. Last yea- in the city Of
Bismarck, the levy was H.01 mills
while this year will be approximate
ly,35 mills. The valuation Of the city
is increased 200 per cent, which will
result in an increased tax burden OF
nearly SO percent. believe the pres.
entation Of tax notices to Thousands
Of people will be the snap Of the finge,
TO break the hypnotic spell which
Townley and his socialistic coterit
have cast over thousands Of voters.

end with the insurgent state officials,
and there might be danger that the
governors political fortunes might
have q vast different ending than the
much heralded professional to the
White House in 1921.
+ One thing is certain: if the impeach-
ment BUSINESS could have been worked
in time, the Observation-Disclosures
Bank matter at least would not now
be known to the public.
It viii be deep blow to many loyal
supporters Of the governor and the
Townley machine to discover from
time to time just what is being put
over them. In some quarters there is
q feeling Of sympathy for Frazier, tn
suppression being that the man has
simply found himself placed in posi-
tion entirely too big for him. In any
case, the washing Of North Dakota's
dirty linen has commenced. Things
will move rapidly from now on. But,
considering that this whole league
business has been manipulated by the
man, Townley, the result is not great
~ surprising. If, as private citizen,
he was able to put over such tfinan-
cial game on the Beach comapunity as
he did, what limit might there be to
his accomplishment when he had an
entire state to worH on. Townley
started this game in Beach, in Golden
Valley county. And, at the lest elec-
tion, all the Tow1,ley measures wer>
defeated in Golden Valley co.nty by
about three to one. This should mean
q great deal to the thoughtfui person
who ii. trying to discover from all the
thunder Of noise in North Dakota
political circles today just whether or
not A. c. Townley is a second Messiah
or the offspring Of the devil. Ger
tainly, events have proven that he is
one or the other.

The Record is in receipt of a

the latter is rather int resting

"Had a startling experience
this morning in class. DR..

NOTES BY Co. suPI.

Judging from some Of the letters we
receive many school patrons are of the
opinion that the county superintendent
makes the compulsory attendance law.
They'are wrong. II the law docs not
suit you have the legislature to change
1t. Friend and foe look alike to us in
this and we intend to enforce the law.
County Institute will be held in Lin
ton at the Court House beginning Oct.
9th. All teachers must be present
unless they can show that they have
attended summer school at least one
week during the summer in this state.
The North Dakota Educational As.
sociation will be held at Min6t the 5th
9Th and 7th Of November. School
boards arc urged to allow their teach-
ers to attend. Many districts pay

SATURDAY EVENING LETTER
{By Justice ]. E. Robinson.)


October 4, 1919. Glad am that we
are soon to have an extra session of
the legislature to correct and undo
several measures passed at the last
general session; also, to fix q schedule
Of the maximum and minimum prices,
to end or give check to profiteering
and the high cost Of living.A good
statute to repeal is the one which in
vites picketing and striking, loafing
and idleness. Any party is free to
quit job, unless when he is bound by
contract, or when he has no regard for
his contract, but he is not legally free,
and the law cannot make him free,
to conspire with others to carry on q
kind Of civil war against his employ
ers and their workmen. And il picket
ing and striking lis to merit the ap-
proval Of the lawmakers, why should
not the law give to pickets and strik-
ers their daily bread and butter, with
a fair compensation for their time.
Then there would be less reason for
resort to lawlessness. And, of course,
the farmers should be treated in the
same manner, in case they determine
to strike and to grow only such food
as they need for themselves. For a
short time the state may give to every
man q pension or permit the general
looting Of those who have laid up q

Nonpartisan Supreme Court Justice Is
sues Statement Flaying State
Administration

j. E. Robinson, league member of
the supreme court, is the latest official
to- come out with statement Aaying
the fearful squandering Of state finan-
ces that is going on in North Dakota
under the present nonpartisan league
administration.
In his letter, Robinson calls atten-
tion to Cathro's latest expense vouch-
er, which includes bill to the Nc
Kenzie hotel of S157 for one months
living expenses. Cathro also draws
$4,000 per year in salary, or double
the amount Of the governors salary.
Robinson also states that the year
ly salary of employees has been in
creased to the point where $185,000
must be paid. He further attacks
the payment of s503.96 for appraising
what he terms the "hinky dink" Drake
mill. Attention has been called here
tofore in the columns of the Record
to the Cathro extravagances and to
the Drake mill appraisal matter. q
Robinson declares in his let.I that.
the administration must cut out the
fearful squandering Of taxpayers mon
ey, or the league cannot live. The
Record has alwyas opposed the league
for the reason that it questioned the
honesty and good faith of the politi-
cal buccaneers that controlled it. and
has repeatedly warned it's readers Of
just such dangers as have actually
come to pass.
It ia. up to the people Of North Da-
kota to face the facts. Either contin-
ue to listen to the siren song of the
political burglars running the state
Of North Dakota-or wake up to
realization Of what Is going on. The
people of this state cannot avoid pay
ing for these excesses. And they
can't stop it for some months to come.
They have made these conditions DOS
sible, and we must all pay the fiddler.
There is only one wise course left, and
that is to sweep them from power at
the first opportunity.

himself signed for publication:

animation by the state auditor

The letter indicated the trans

The Scandinavian-American Bank,
Of Fargo, has been closed and re-
ceiver appointed following an exam
ination that. disclosed that Nohparfi-i
san enterprises were debtors to the
bank in the sum Of practically three
quarters Of million Of dollars.
Some o. these notes were backed by
postdated checks and farmers notes
that the league % far had been unable
to collect. Some Of this form Of coll
lateral was not even in the hands Of
the bank at the time it was ordered
closed.
r. E. Halvorson, deputy state bank
examiner, has been placed in charge
Of the bank, under bond Of 500, 900.
Several hundred thousand dollars Of
public money were on deposit in the
hank at the time it was ordered closed
There is fund Of 100000 in the
North Dakota Guaranty Fund that
has been paid in by the 700 banks Of
5she state, but, unless an unusual a.
mount Of postdated checks and notes
can be collected, this fund will not be
sufficient to make good the losses.
Under the laws Of North Dakota. as
they now stand, an assessment would
then be levied on all state banks to
make good the losses.

Joseph Gilbert Of the st. Paul Office
Of the Non-partisan league, and who
was sentenced along with Townley to
80 days in Jail for obstructionist ac-
ton, apparently has severed his con-
nection with the active operation Of
the league. He is sponsor now for
the Enderlin Cooperative Association,
a branch of the Wholesale Co-opera-
tive Society of America, in a request
for charter made to Secretary Of State
Thomas Hall. However, another ram
ification Of the financial branches Of
the Townley scheme, is easily added.
Although the only new industry in
which the State Of North Dakota is
engged is that Of operating a dinky

FORMS FEDERAL
SHIPPING PLAN.
Hurley Completing Ar
rangements for Govern
ment Merchant Marine.

Following his conference with Pres
ident Wilson, Edward N, Hurley,
chairman of the Shipping Board yes
terday began to put on paper his
policy for operation of government
owned merchant ships.
President Wilson will take to Paris
with him the completed plan for use
in connection with the work Of the
Peace Conference. Mr.. Hurley will
make the plan public In a letter to
Congress.
Some form of government control
of the nations merchant marine is
expected to be the result of Mr.. Hur-
ley's recommendations, backed by the
President. 1t is pointed out that this
government, by centralized control
of American merchant ships, could
better meet foreign competition. In
addition to vessels already built, this
nation has 100000 tons under con-
struction or contracted for. an amount
greater than the total loss of ton
mage IN the war. These ships would
depreciate rapidly in value II thrown
on the market for private purchase
and the government would lose mil
lions.
Mr.. Hurley is confident that more
than enough business to keep the en-
tire merchant tonnage OF the country
profitably employed for several Years
can be secured, and by that time.
with world conditions stabilized, 1t
will be possible to keep the feet
going.
