stead Of cloaking and covering it up.
Very justly he cries out against exces-
sive taxation and public extravaganza.
He shows how the last assessment of
land was increased four fold over all
other assessments and how there was
then added general average of about
thirty per cent. This more than dou-
bles the taxes for the coming year in
addition to all other leyies..
BY excessive and illegal taxation
Charles the First lost his royal head,
Great Britain lost her American col
onies, and the present state admins
tration is in great danger Of losing
the next general election. But there
/ is still time to undo the wrong, to pass
Ia statute with an emergency clause
reducing all tax levies fifty percent,
and permitting payment in. two epua'
installments on or before March first
and November first, the same as in
South Dakota. There is time to re-
peal some bad statutes such as those
encouraging strikes, picketing and
martial law; and to repeal the statute
to prevent men and women from ex-
ercising their inalienable right to ac-
quire property by doing an honest
days work. <t
The tax is relic of feudal barbar-
ism. It is the greatest, Of all public
nuisances. If state cannot live and
prosper without the levying of taxes
then there must be sad lack Of wis
dom and capacity in those who con-
troll the affairs of state.
Now, in a few days the solons and
wise men from the East do meet at
the Capitol to correct their own errors
and to restrain and curb those young
thoroughbreds who despise correction
and who are continually kicking over
the traces" But Kositzky, he must
be given a clean bill of health with
due commentator because he is good
worker, he does not fear to speak the
truth and he has done the people a
great service by continually pointing
out the rocks on which the ship of
state is in danger Of being wrecked.
Under the new laws and assessments
we have new boards and bureaus and
new ways of making lavish expen-
diture Of public money. We have

WOMEN FEAR LOSS
OF VOTE IN 1920.

! Women may not vote throughout
the nation in 1920.
Their battle isn't Won
Only 18 states have ratified the suf-
| ferage amendment.
Eighteen more are needed.
The women depend largely on re-
publican support.
Sixteen republican states have not
yet acted.
Only two of these will hold regular
sessions Of the legislature before
1921.
The Ia republican governors of the
remaining, states have so far declined
to call special sessions to ratify the
Observation-Disclosures there are indi-
cations such sessions will soon be
called in Maine, and New Jersey, as
North Dakota has done.
Suffrage leaders axe getting sus-
picious. '.~a@
"Is it possible" they ask, "that re-
publicans don't want the women to
vote in 1920?"
Supporting this horrid thought,
they find the following logical and
possible explanations: e-.. ~
"The republicans are confident of
present advantage in the 1920 cam
paign. They believe they will have
walk-away, unless conditions radical
ly change or some new and disturbing
factor is intruded. "
"How, then, about the women vote?
Can the Republicans afford to take a
chance on it? They're new in poll
tics, undisciplined in partisanship, un-
certain. Can they be trusted not to
upset the G. 0. P. apple cart? With
out them, we're virtually certain to
win. That's on the cards. But with
them-who knows? Better let them
wait. The action by Congress in ap-
proving the amendment ought to win
their support in those states where
they already have presidential suf-
frage. That ought to be enough for
this time"
Anyway, thHt's the explanation that
is developing in the minds OF the suf-
ferage leaders as to why ratification
has been delayed.
The republicans can either secure
ratification in time to give the women
the vote in 1920, or can block it.
That they are blocking it, deliber-
ately, cannot be proven, but-knowing
something about the devious processes
of masculine politics-the women are
getting suspicious.
Only action, quick and affirmative
by the majority of these G. 0. P.
states will dissipate the storm cloud
that is gathering. SE

DEMAND FOR new
deal. i LEAGUE

Demands for reorganization of
the Nonpartisan league on a basis
that will give the members some
| voice in shaping it's policies, which
have become quite insistent Of late,
| may be given consideration by the
leaders of the league at meeting
of the national committee" called
| to be held in Sat. Paul on Dec. 8,
next. =.
The national committee is made up
of FIVE members from each state; :;
the five members from each state
were picked by the leaders of the
league, being in most instances, en-
ployes Of the league.
Announcement of the call for the
meeting is made today by the North
Dakota Leader, which lists |. e
North Dakota delegates as L. l..
Stair, Bottineau; J. I. Cahill, Leith;
G. Patterson, Donnybrook; E. A..
Bowman, Kuhn, and C. O.. Swenson,
Northwood. Several of these men
have been paid organizers in the
Nonpartisan league.
Thirteen states will be represented,
says the North Dakota Leader, and
the business of the meeting is out
lined by the paper.
"Matters of far-reaching import
ance to the league membership will
be acted upon at the annual meeting"
says The Leader Campaign activi-
ties and the platform for next years
elections will be taken up. The ma.
tional committee under the articles of
association has authority to amend the
articles and adopt rules and regula-
tions for the government of the league
and it is probable matters of this kind
will occupy much time of the dele
gates. The books and accounts will
be audited and full report given out
as to finances and accounting for the
benefit of league members"
In dealing with the personnel of
the national committee. The Leader
citation of the league, the national
committee of three is elected by the
national committee, and the national
committee is the final authority in all
league activities and policies. The ma
tional committee consists of the chair
man of each state committee. The
various state committees are chosen
by state conventions"
'The coming St. Paul meeting,
however, will not be confined to the
chairmen of the various state COM
mittees,' continues The Leader. "All
the members of all the state COM
mittees have been invited and sever
al states are planning to send sew
eral members Of their committee if
not the whole committee. In any
event the chairman Of the state com
mittee in 13 states will be pres
ent. Live league boosters among
the farmer membership from many
states are also expected to attend.

Sees KOSITZKY
IN A new LIGHT

State Auditor Carl R. Kositzky, the
most radical of the league insurgents
has been. called a great many names
by supporters Of President Al C.
Townley. Associate Justice James E..
Robinson sof the Supreme court has
a new zone for the state auditor. In
his Saturday Evening Letter Of this
date Justice Robinson says:
'sKositzky is second John the Bap-
tist-the voice Of one crying in the
wilderness. Believing that honest con-
fession is good for the soul, he ex-I
poses the wrong instead Of jcloaking
and covering it up. Very justly, he
cries out against excessive taxation
and public extravaganza. He shows
how. the last assessment of land was
increased more than four fold over
all the other assessments, and how
there was then added a general aver
age of about thirty percent. This
more than doubles the taxes for the
coming year, in addition to all the
other levies. BY excessive and illeg-
al taxation Charles the First lost his
royal head, Great Britain lost her,
American colonies, and the present
state administration is in great dam
ger of losing the next general cleo
ton"
"Heed, o heed, Kositzky's warn
ing" cries the venerable jurist at the
opening and close of his letter, in
which he shows up number Of in
stances Of alleged extravaganza, waste
or poor management.
