NON PARTISAN PAPER FAILS

Ashton, Idaho.-When the nom
partizan league blight came uron
Ashton, the Enterprise was a
money making newspaper. the only
occupant of a rich newspaper field.
Agitators for the bipartisan
league came and bought 1t at
fat price, the farmers who were to
hold the sack paying the money.
The business men Of Ashton. in
Guiding many farmers, rebelled.
Then w. A. Lansberry established
The Ashton Herald, to which the
substantial people of this section
gave their support.
The -partizan league then
sent professional bowler from
North Dakota, but he was not able
to arouse interest in his waning
cause and the Improbable league

The NJ p. l.. crowd, being unable
to reform" here any longer at 81
per have invaded Idaho Falls with
newspaper venture. Farmers and
+. ION laborers are being appealed
to to turn their money into it to
ne handled by the same crowd that
failed here.
The farmers here who have been
'"farmed" by the Townleyites will

or less of secret l asked him how
old he was.
Just as old ADranam was
when be begat INTERCHANGEABLE
years DID," he shot back at me,
with never a smile to confess that
he was making sport OF my curios-
ity
Judge Robinson is known as
league judge. He is one of four
members of the bench of five men
who were elected with the league
Endorsement, and his decisions could
hardly be said to show enmity to
the league. But the ~ldge gagged
at the tax increase, anC his wrath
poured out in series of letters
published by the Bismark Tribune
One of these letters was under
thetitle, Heed, o Heed Kositzky's
Warning" This referred to inter-
views given out by Carl Kositzky
state auditor. Mr.. Kositzky, elected
by the league. parted company with
its leaders on the u se1on of In
dustrial democracy and had been
warning the public that their 1919
taxes would be very heavy, and all
the leagues heavy guns were
trained on him.
| Judge Robinson took up the
cudgel in his defense. In his usual
picturesque style he called Kositzky
"a second John the Baptist-the
voice of one crying in the wilder
ness, prepar We the way of the
Lord. make His path straight. /"
The auditor had shown that taxes
would be more than doubled in ad-
d1t1on to all other levies. He paid
his respects to the many new
league recruits to Tie state nav
roll.
the solons and wise men
have given the governor, his boards
and bureaus, authority ii fix sal
aries and titles and to incur ex-
penses without limit. Hence the
new annual pay roll is nearly $500
600 in addition to the regular paw
roll"
League leaders had largely ig-
nored and minimized Inc tax issue
up to this time. but this attack
could hardly be over looked. Judge
Robinson was invited to address the
legislature on the subject, and did
so. Following his appearance the
legislature repealed twenty-five per
cent of the state tax and made the
tax payable in two installments.
nut tina installment feature did not
go into effect soon enough to fur
nish relief this year But even
with twenty five per cent lopped
off, the tax will be more than twice
what 1t was last year. League Of
ficials admit that the net state tax
now due, is 113 per cent higher
than that paid last year. This. of
course. is the average for the entire
state. In many individual instances
1t is vastly higher.
o. e. Hunt. farmer in Grand
Forks County, quoting from mem
DRY, told me that he paid 1924 in
! taxes in 1918 and that his taxes
J for 1919. now due, were $642. He
did not complain about it. but
merely stated ii as fact in answer
| to question. He is a new man in
the state, having moved from Iii
nois.

The tax storm has been gathering
since the session of the State Legis-
lature year ago. At that time the
League legislature launched a pro-
gram of state ownership which
league men refer to as industrial
democracy, and which opponents
call unsalted socialism OF thirty
odd new laws which were put
through here are the high points
round which tax dissatisfaction
clusters.
A $2,000,0OO bond issue as capt.
tai stock for state bank to fl
nance industrial democracy.
100000 appropriated for cur
rent expenses of an Industrial Com
mission to administer bank and
various state-owned enterprises.
A $5,0O0.OO0 bond issue for state
grain elevators and mills.
A $10,O00.0OO bond issue to be
used by the state bank in loanins
| money on real estate.
|. A $4,000 appropriation for ad-
ministering compulsory state hail
insurance.
A 100000 appropriation for ad.
ministering sort of state building
and loan to handle farm and city
property.
Providing state indemnity bonds
for Official and state fire insurance
for all public buildings.
| Levying a half-mill tax to pay
bonuses to North Dakota soldier
and sailors in the great war.
Adoption of single tax.
Raising assessments to 100 pei
cent.
Exempting farm improvement.
and portion of city dwellings
from taxation.
Naturally this program meant

The retailers presented for Mr..

clothes and not feet compelled to refill
their wardrobes frequently because of

Washington. June 25.--The de
ficit" Of 100000 tons in the Amer
lean coal reserve could be made up In
three months if favorable conditions
prevail, Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Aitchison said today.
Commissioner McChord backed this
statement. declaring orders . giving
priority to movements of open top
cars will prevent a winter coal famine,
if the coal can be mined.
Aitchison also outlined the steps the
commission is taking to enable the
country to catch up with its coal de-
mands The reserve was practically
depleted during the mine and outlaw
railroad strikes,
One result Of the priority orders
Aitchison said is to give the miners
every car that has been carrying nom
essentials. Another result is to prac-
tlcaIly shut off exports of coal.
The full effect of these priority or
ders would be apparent now if the I'M
authorized railroad strikes had not
broken out anew and hindered car
movements. Aitchison said.
The department of justice has under

wins the second half, that team will
have undisputed claim to the cham
piOnship.
There will be change in the member
