did THE GRAND
FORKS HERALD LIE?

Before the primary election of 1918
William LANCER, who was then the
farmers candidate for attorney gen
eral, was the especial object of the ink
wells of hate of the Grand Forks Her.
aid. Nothing showed this better than
the attempts of the Herald to fasten
on LANCER the suspicion that he was
draft dodger. In reporting a speech
made by LANCER at Minot the Herald
of June rs, 1913 said:
"In his speech LANCER made no
mention of the draft or why he
lodged it. He talked about House Bill
"a, and the socialist constitution"
In the same report the Herald with
great glee tells of a petition being
drawn up by departing draftees urg-
ing that LANCER should not be permit
ted to address them. In the words of
the Herald:
"The petition also pointed out that
LANCER was undesirable, because he
was in the draft, physically fit, single
but claimed exemption"
Another excerpt from this Herald
report will be interesting since Lam
ger has found such high favor with
the I. V. A.:
"About two hundred and fifty farm
ers were in Minot for the league rally.
Women, children and Minot residents
made up the greater part of fiften
thousand audience hearing the speak
ers. A year ago thirteen thousand
came to Minot for the league rally.
When NJ G. Mcdonald was speaking,
one of the banners bearing the words:
Hindenburg wants Frazier-We want
Steen" arrived on the scene, and Lam
ger urged those near the platform to
permit the bearer to bring the banner
right up to the front. A young fellow
carrying the banner accepted the in
vitation. AS soon as he arrived on the
platform LANCER grabbed him and
held him, while one farmer slapped
his face and others tore up the BAN
ner. The incident almost caused a riot
The LANCER banner was torn by pro-
Germans and carried through the city.
Before Macdonald, LANCER and Fra
zier finished talking, half Of the
crowd had returned to the city,
where lady Red Cross workers had
opened up refreshment stands and the
Minot union musicians band was CIV
ing a concert. Draftees Joined in the
affair, and when Townleyites reached
the city, soldiers and citizens formed
a big parade and marched up and
down Main Street. One draftee car
ried the banner, LANCER claimed ex-
emptions, I didn't" Another banner in
the parade read: "Beat LANCER and
send him to the trenches. Grand

LEAGUE CONGRESSMAN VOTE
FOR SOLDIER BONUS

Congressman John M. Baer and
James H. Sinclair have just returned
to North Dakota to take part in the
primary campaign. They cancelled
several speaking dates in order to re-
main in Washington until the soldier
bonus bill came up for a vote. Baer
made strong speech in favor Of the
bonus. He recalled the fact that he
was among the first to advocate a
bonus and told Congress how the
farmer legislature Of North Dakota
awarded the returned service men
$25.0O month long before other
states took up the idea of bonus.
The action Of the Representatives
Baer and Sinclair was contrasted with
that Of Congressman Young of the
second district. Altho Young is a
member Of the committee handling
the soldier bonus bill he left Washing
ton several days before the vote was
taken to campaign inhis home district.
Young is having hard time to just
fy his failure to carry out his pledges
to the farmers who elected him. Thorn
as Pendray Of jamestown is putting
up an excellent fight and is warmly
supported BY organized labor which
approves Of his legislative record and
is on the warpath against Young on
account Of his vote On the railroad
bill.

Credit That Can be Earned in
Summer School

The summer session is six weeks in
length. Each subject taken will recite
twice daily, except for one or two
that will be offered as half SUBJECTS
which will recite once daily. Two reci-
tations daily for six weeks means
twelve weeks work in such subject.
Twelve weeks in summer school are
credited as equivalent to eighteen
weeks of the regular school year.
Therefore high school pupil can earn
two semester credits of high school
work or one unit of the sixteen re-
quired for graduation, by taking the
regular amount of work, which is two
subjects. Some students will wish to
take more than the regular amount.
Only students whose record shows the
previous work to be all "A" or "B''
work will be permitted extra work.
When extra work is permitted, the
student will be allowed to take addi-
tional half-subject, that is, 2 subject
reciting once daily. The total credit
thus earned during the six weeks by
a high school pupil would be one and
one-fourth units. The high school
graduate taking college work can
earn eight semester hours by taking
two courses each reciting twice daily.
In the same way, those taking teacher
training courses will cover regular
term and one half Of the years work.
The work Of the summer term is thus
heavier than that Of the regular
school year. It has been found possible
to do more work than at other periods
of the year because the students are
interested in getting just as much ac-
complished as possible. They are ordin
arily mature and more serious in their
attitude toward their school duties.
It should be borne in mind that 9

credits ahead can during his senior

ROBERT BURR OF ]
RUGBY BROWNS IN LHlKiif: L1Htlii !:
WHILE IN BATHING AT LAKE
METIGOsHE YOUNGEST SON
OF A. G. BURR BROWNS

Robert, II year old son Of Judge A.
G. Burr met death by drowning in
Lake Metigoshe Tuesday evening at
about six o'clock. Robert in company
with, three other boys, members of
the Boy Scouts of Rugby, were in
swimming and it is thought that
he was taken with cramps, when
about two hundred feet from shore
and although the largest boy of the
other three SWAN to his rescue his
life could mob be saved. The boys with
Robert state that he said he did not
think he could swim to the boat and
that his face had already become pur-
pie when one of the other boys swan
to his rescue and grabbing a hold of
what he thought was Roberts hair
tried to bring him to the top. How
ever, the boy was unsuccessful in his
attempt and only managed TO get
hold Of Roberts cap. Here the swim
mer called for the boat and the two
smaller boys rowed to him and he
tried to dive at about the spot at
which Robert was last seen but as the
water was about twelve feet deep he
could not get to the bottom and the
rescue had to be given up and the
alarm spread.
Word reached Bottineau before sew
en- o'clock and a party at once organ
lied to drag the lake for the dead
body. Workers remained nearly all
night Tuesday and were back to the
lake early yesterday morning, work.
ing hard all day yesterday and up to
the time of going to press the body
has not been recovered. Last evening
a hundred and fifty foot drag-net was
taken to the lake and it is hoped that
this may be the means of bringing
the body to the surfate.
Robert was born in Bottineau and
was also very we'll known through
out the state. He attended the Botti-
neau schools up to and including his
Freshman year, after which he went
to Rugby, where he completed his
high school work this year. He was
a member of the Rugby high school
debating team and it was through his
efforts that the silver cup was won
permanently for the Rugby High
School. ... ......s.
Judge A. C. Burr was summoned
from Rugby Tuesday night and he
together with Misses Flora and Elsie
Burr, aunts of the drowned boy, have
been at the lake since the accident.
Robert and another Rugby boy
had only come to Bottineau on Tues
day afternoons train and left imme-
diately for the Lake, joining the 9TH
er Scouts there.
It is expected and hoped by all that
before the sun goes down tonight the
body will be. recovered and although
no funeral arrangements have been
made yet the remains will likely be
laid to rest beside those of his mother,
in Oak Creek Cemetery.
To the sorrowing father, brother,
two sisters, the Misses Burr of this
city and other relatives everyone ex-
tends sympathy in the loss of Robert,
a young man who had an exception
ally bright future ahead Of him.

Where the Increase in State Taxes
Goes

covered in the 1919 taxes that are not
included in the 1918 taxes
Accumulated deficiencies in
appropriations for educa-
tional and other state
institutions .--..---...$ 100000
Deficit in railroad taxes 80. $4,000
Delayed tax collection in
excess amount carried
over from 1918 ........... 445,057
Soldier Bonus Levy ............ 761,837
Total ,9OO,894
We have found that the total prop
erty state tax levy, including money
and credits and grain tax is $3,742,-
616.O8. The amount of these taxes for
1918 was 81, ,766, ,4O8; and the increase
of 1919 over 1918 is $1,976, ,208. So
that after we have substracted the
amounts included in 1919 levies which
are not included in 1918, there re-
mains an increase Of only $75,314.
And we have not included in the
above figures the appropriations for
the new state industries, nor the ap-
preparations for new state depart
ments. The 1919 legislature appropri-
ated for new state departments $685.
63O. The greater part of this amount
goes to the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton and the Flood Control Com
mission. The need Of these services
cannot reasonably be questioned.
Therefore, we may include one half
of this amount, or $198,315, as an ad-
ditional extraordinary purpose by the
1919 taxes. Adding this to- the ST.
1884, we have total larger than
the increase of the 1919 taxes over
the 1918 taxes by $122,801.
/ What Would You Eliminate?
Note what this means. Saying moth
ing about the appropriations for the
new state industries, or the levies for
paying interest on the new state
bonds, the 1919 taxes cover amounts
which total $122,801 in excess Of the
total increase il the state property
tax over 1918. And everyone Of these
accounts, i fully justified. Will any

crease of 1T per cent over 1918 is
distributed. AS taxes are for the pur-
pose Of meeting appropriations, let
us look first at the appropriations.
The total increase in 1919 appropria-
tions over 1917 appropriations is 81
9OO, $3.50. Now 81 per cent Of this OF
$889,573, is for educational purposes.
Another $886,347, or 80 per cent Of
the total increase is for other state
institutions, chiefly penal and charit-
able. So that 81 per cent of the to-
tai increase in appropriations goes to
the support Of state institutions. It is
apparent that right here is the place
where the greater part Of the in
crease is to be justified or condemned
Did these institutions need these in
creases? IF it can be shown that they
did need them, then 81 per cent Of
the entire increase in appropriations
is justified.
