STATE LIBRARY
I CLOSED; REASON
IS NOT GIVEN
Totten H as Considerable
Difficulty in Securing
New Librarian

Bismarck. N. D., May 1.-THE
state circulating library, scene of the
free love" episodes during the spe-
cial session of the legislature last
year. Is closed to the general public
and thereby hangs a tale.
A big poster on the doors leading
to the library announces that 1t is
closed. One eason given for the
library not functioning locally is that
the special session of the legislature
reduced the %library's appropriation
n the other reason is because there
is no librarian available or compe-
tent to take charge Of the work.
! Rev. George A. T6ttep, chairman
of#the state board Of administration,
which is in general charge Of the lib
lary's activities is seeking a librarian
20 direct the library. 1t is rumored
that Totten is seeking a librarian who
will be a fit successor to Carl Emil
= Stangeland. whose forced resignation
because OF his socialistic notions
tempted Totten to proclaim that he
would also resign IL Stangeland left.
Stangeland has gone, but Totten
still remains.
Totten, however, is experiencing
considerable difficulty in securing a
man to serve as librarian who has
the same qualifications as stangeland.
1t has been suggested that Totten
might insert an advertisement in the
appeal to Reason, or seek a suitable
successor to Stangeland in the social
istic Rand School Of Social Science,
And 1t is further pointed out that
any reduction in the library's!appro-
priation made by the special session
of the legislature does moi 20 into eff
feet until July /.

%NONPARTISAN Law
ON c~OUNTYrVOTES
CAUSES QUESTION

bismarck, N. D., May THE fact
that the state legislature made. no
change in the law with respect to the
number Of names required on the
nominating petitions of candidates
for county office when it established
the non-partisan county election in
stead of the party election, has cre-
ated an interesting situation.
Responding to the inquiry Of a
Dunn county candidate. for OFFICE, E.
B. Cox, assistant attorney general,
points out that the old law providing
for the nomination Of candidates for
party nomination required Of the can
didate that he obtain signers equal to
five per cen Of the total vote cast for
county auditor Of the party with
which he ariliates, but that In no
case shall a candidate be required to
obtain more than zoo >signers.
Mr.. Cox suggests. in his letter an
swering the inquiry, that to be- safe
candidates for county nominations
under the nonpartisan ballot obtain
at least Ave per cent of the. number
of votes cast Jointly. by both parties
for county auditor in the last prev
ious election. In large counties II
would not be difficult to obtain the
200 limit fixed by the old law, but
in many small counties this would
entail considerable hardship on can
didates.

How much did il tax you!
This is the slang way OF asking how
much thing costs and is considered ap-
propriaie by many persons because the
costs Of almost every article is increased
by the levy Of some kind Of tax. Liberty
bonds and public property are about the
only things exempt from taxation.
Everybody knows that a tax is an en-
forced contribution for the support oil the
government but few persons know how
many different taxes there are. Consid-
erine that franchises. fees and licenses
come under this broad definition OF tax
alton and that city, county. state and ma
ton must all receive funds enough Tor
their support. ii is not strange that fhere
are so many kinds OF taxes.
1t is possible for one person to pay
over thirty different taxes. II a man
should sell half of his farm, buy we'd
ding outfit and an automobile, own dog
and get married he would have to pay
thirteen kinds of taxes-ai least.
MANY Of these taxes are indirect and
therefore are not noticed but they must
be paid nevertheless. There are several
ways Of classifying the many different
taxes. Taking them just as most tax
PAYERS meet them results in the following
conglomeration: state revenue tax state
interest tax, state capitol tax, county
hospital tax. special road and bridge tax,
county road and bridge tax, bonded in
debtedness tax. school tax, federal in
come tax. state income tax. city property
tax. vehicle license, dog license, hunting
license, state automobile license, federal
estate tax. stale estate tax. tax on pro-
ducts of child labor. tax on all works of
art, excise tax on wearing apparel, fed
eral tax on billiard tables. state tax on
billiard tables. county tax on billiard Ia
bles, city tax on billiard tables, proprie.
tary stamp tax on drugs and toilet arti.
cles, documental stamp tax on deeds and
mortgages. tax on shows and entertain
ments. tax on club dues. tax on telegraph
and telephone messages, tax on business
es and occupations, tax for permits to
sell narcotics, corporation tax, state and
federal franchise tax, customs tax. poll
tax anu many others.
While the number Of taxes is bewil-
dering there are other things about taxes
more difficult to understand. Someone
might wish to know. for instance. just
why cut glass and imitation ivory ware
are exempt from war taxes while every
thing else in a jewelry store is subject to
this tax. Someone else might ask why
the manufacturer pays the tax on chew
ing gum. cameras, sporting goods, films.
candies, firearms. knives. electric fans.
thermos bottles and smoking articles,
while on most of the other articles it is
paid by either the retailer or by the con-
sumer

Merchants Say the Worst Part
of Tax Paying Is Figuring 1t Up

ANNOYANCE than any other tax. 1t has
made the penny useful but more unpop
ular than ever before. On small articles
no one minds the extra charges but SOME
persons often wonder if the government
ever gets enough out Of the tax to pay fol
collecting it. On large orders the 10 pei
cent tax is very noticeable.
In regard TO the cost of collecting wal
taxes most persons have been unfair in
their statements that il is excessive. ]
X. Jordan, local collector Of internal rev
enue, says that while he was attending q
meeting of internal revenue men at ST.
Louis about two months ago, Mr.. Rog
ers, supervisor Of field forces at Washing
ton, d. C., in reporting an investigation
Of the costs Of collecting war taxes, made
the statement that the actual cost was bu,
fifty-fve hundredths Of per cent.
One reason for the low cost Of collect.
ing this tax is that there are no collectors
who call upon those subject to the tax.
Instead Of this method the government
has adopted the more economical one Of
having each merchant send in his own
taxes to a central Office. This must be
done once month and in case Of delin.
quency the offender is fined Is per cent.
This causes the merchant to keep books
pretty closely and makes the war tax
more annoying to him than TO the custo-
mer.
Mr.. Jordan said that if this tax we're
levied as a fat tax on gross sales in.
stead of on separate articles il would
simplify matters both fof the merchants
and the government
Judging from the general sentiment
among the merchants most of them are
ready 10 have this tax simplifed. They
seem to think that while the tax was all
right during the war. it is time now TO
make it less complicated. They do no,
care so much for the tax itself as for the
figuring they have to do 10 find ou, how
much they owe the government.
