THEF0RTY-TW0
TAXPAYERS SUIT

During the last year or more there
has been much discussion and mis-
understanding Of the so-called forty
two taxpayers law suit A desperate
effort has been made to fasten upon
the instigators and participants in the
forty-two taxpayers law suit sinister
motives, therefore in connection with
that case it is we'll to remember that
under the American form Of govern
ment every citizen who thinks that
he is being wronged by his fellow-men
shall have an opportunity to present
his grievances in a court and to have
the court determine whether or not
the laws under which he claims to be
suffering an injustice are the ex-
pressed will Of the people.
If the courts from the lowest to
the highest find that what is COM
planned Of as injustice is permitted
by the laws in question, then the
plaintiff must either abide by the de-
cisions Of the courts or 60 and make
an effort to convince his fellowmen
that the laws in themselves are fun
damentally-wrong.
In North Dakota there are many
people who sincerely believe that the
economic program embarked on under
the auspices and leadership Of the
Nonpartisan league is going to de-
prive many citizens Of rights that are
guaranteed them by the state and
federal constitutions. Being honest in
this belief it must be conceded that
they have right to go to the courts
and ask them to construe the laws
in their favor or against them. Act
ing on this basis forty-two taxpayers
Of North Dakota united in q suit to
test the constitutionality of certain
phases OF the so-called league legisla-
| ton. The Supreme court OF the
United States has held that there was
no infringement ON the rights Of the
taxpayers under the constitution OF the
United States in the specific manner
| that was pointed out by the forty-two
taxpayers. Therefore whether or not
| the laws in question work an injustice
on any number of people in the state
or not in the manner that was com
planned Of must now be settled by the
people of North Dakota az Do
| litical question, or remain unsettled,
unless some other taxpayer or set OF
| taxpayers ind fault with this same

Bonds, Bonds, Bonds! That's the
song. Get the local cash first. Then
run the state into millions of debt and
give this precious gang Of st. Paul
Socialists full freedom of legislation,
operation and management, with no
open books or public examinations.
The farmer who has been trapped
and misled by this gang should stop
and think a moment what debts really
are and what burden and handicap
they are in private business. Whether
we owe sum individually or collec-
lively with all our property and ouJ
states honor up as security amounts
to one and the same thing.
II debts and notes and mortgages
and interest. are good thing in pri-
vate business, then the farmer and all
other taxpayers should vote for more
Townleyism. II not, then vote to get
rid Of Townleyism with oil it, bum
combs and political dap trap.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, n. T.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
