previously offered by w. c. Jones. al
so of Spokane, urges "proper legis-
lation to stabilize currency to main.
tain the dollar at an equal purchas
ing power"
The slight opposition to the sta

delegates to expedite the business OF
the convention. Chairman Cotteril

S|DtL|CHTS ON
TOWNlFY RULE IN
NORTH DAKOTA
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBINSON. or
THE NORTH DAKOTA 81.
PREME COURT, TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN THAT STATE.

J. +. Robinson, chief justice Of
North Dakota supreme court. elected
by the nonpartisan league. writes A,
follows TO the Bismarck, On. D.
Tribune under date of May LIST on tho
conditions in that state under the
Townley laws and administration o.
state affairs:
To Governor Frazier and the man
ayers of the Nonpartisan league: :
suggest the only proper thing to do
is to call a special session of the
legislature to meet early in June am
to ADJOURN before the last minute Of
the month. Then all acts of the ses
SION will become effective on the frs.
minute of July. 1t will be the last
chance of the present law makers to
correct the excessive tax levies and
appropriations, to repeal some bad
laws and to enact good laws.
The tax of 1919 so far as collected
is So per cent of the total tax. For
tY-fve per cent of the state and local
tax remains delinquent, and on such
taxes penalties accrue thus:
March 1st..................5 per cent
June LIST --......-......-......2 per cent
November LIST .......3 per cent
The tax sale is on the first Tues
day of December. In October. the
county treasurer mails to each land
owner notice giving a description
of his land with the taxes and pen
alties That notice will make him
swearing mad on the day that he goea
to the polls. The special session
should cancel the penalties and re-
duce all state and local taxes so per
cent, and do many other wise things.
Now is the accepted time. Now is
the day of salvation. The time 70
confess and do right is now Prior
to the special election in Towner
county there was a failure to dis
Germ the signs Of the times and a
vain attempt to excuse and cover up
the excessive taxes. instead of un-
doing them, and so it may be at the
coming election. For. as we read in
the Scripture: "Pride goeth before de-
struction and naughty spirit before
a fall"
The tax question is one of special
concern to every person. The local
taxes are local and are levied on val
uations made by assessors and boards
of equalization. Often the local tax
es are levied by grafters who well
come excessive valuations of proper
ty as it gives them a chance to make
n big profit The general state tax
is levied by the state board of equal
zation; that is by LANCER. Kositzky.
Hagan, Olson and the governor; any
three members of that board has the
power to put the assessment and the
tax levies up or down.
In the session laws of 1919, sixty
pages arc given to enormous appro-
priations made by the Legislature.
Then there are about as many pages
given to newfangled and very ques-
tionable state tax levies. On reading
it all, one cannot fail to conclude
that in 1919 an awful botch was made
of the taxation business. Just think
of these items fer the general budget
.of 1910.
