RESTRAIN TAX COL:
LECTION IN BOWMAN

Bowman, N. d., Jan. 1.-Coun-
+v Auditor Frank R. Huff, County
Treasurer Alex N. Norem, of Bow
man county. and 1dan Iverson, A.
l.. Lowden and C. J. Phelan as dir
ectors of Twin Butte school district
of that county, in which is includ-
ed the village of Bowman, have
been temporarily enjoined by Judge
Frank T. Lembke of the local dis
trict court from collecting taxes in
the excess of that derived from a
levy Of 1872 mills in the 1919 valu-
alton. The school board made a
levy this year which places the to-
tai taxation at 43.2 mills.
The case was brought by the
Farmers Leader, an Independent
newspaper published in Bowman.
The plaintiff alleges that the levy
of 43.2 mills is exceeding the
amount allowed by law and there
fore asks that the collection of such
excessive amount be stopped by the
court.
According. to the Farmers Lead
er, the alleged excessive levy was
made for the purpose of taking up
outstanding school district war
rants held bX,,.7twos-1. of Bowman
banks. The; board acted, it is al
legged on the advice Of Attorney
Scow, director Of one of the
banks holding some of these war
rants.
The date for the hearing Of this
action has not been set. 8.
This is the first of number of
cases that will be started against
county and school boards for excess
sive levy this year. 1t has been re-
ported that several Of the western
counties of the state have made
levies in excess of the amount al
lowed by law. Political motives
are alleged to be back of such ac-
ton in many instances, one of the
chief objects being to boost taxes
in an attempt to discredit the Nom
partisan League administration.

CLAIMS TO Be IN
y NEUTRAL CLASS

The Flaxton Times in its last is
sue still insists that it is neutral
in regard to the farmer movement
In North Dakota, but believes in
giving it's limited number of read
ers the facts. The article publish
ed by that paper several weeks ago
showed just how neutral the Flax
ton Times is, and how anxious the
,publishers are to give their readers
all the facts. They showed how
the assessed valuation went up, but
said bot word about the tax levy
coming down, leaving their readers
to believe that the tax this year
woull be 400 per cent higher, than
it was last year. anu that the No4-
partisan League was to blame for
all OF it.
2+; The Flaxton Times is about as
neutral as a banker that we had a
ak with last summer, who told us
that he was neutral on the Non
partisan League, and in order that
he might get both sides of the
farmers movement, he took the
Fargo Forum to see what the big
interests had to say about it, and
[ took the Grand Forks Herald to
get the farmers side. Since the
present publishers have had charge
Of the Flaxton Times we have
never yet seen single item in that
paper. that was favorable to the
farmers movement, but there have
been several published showing only
part of the facts in order to de-
ceiye those who read the articles.
And still the Flaxton Times insists
it lis neutral.
The farmers of North Dakota
have not done anything they are
ashamed of, and would welcome the
publication of all facts in regard to
all the new laws passed by the
. farmers legislature. The farmers
invite just criticism. but do not
feel that they are getting a square
deal when articles are published
giving only a part of the facts for
the purpose of deceiving the people.
~ While The Tribune admits that
the taxes are higher this year we
won't agree with the Flaxton
Times that the farmers were re-
sronsible for it. The only tax
that the farmers are responsible
for is the state tax and the official
notice to taxpayers in this issue Of
The Tribune shows how insignifi-
cant the state tax is as compared
with the county. school and town
ship taxes. If the Flaxton Times
wants to denounce any one for. the
high taxes it should go after the
county, townships and school dis
tricts, where by far the, biggest por-
tion of the taxes go.
