WORSE is YET TO COME.

Until the present time, compari-
son of tax figures have ben made ac-
cording to figures from the state with
the general understanding that the
taxes made public would be suffici-
ent to meet the expenditures. But
now comes the sad news that spe-
cial session Of the state legislature
must be called and additional tax
levies to be made to met the unpaid
bills. Lately, the politicians have
been real quite about North Dakota
taxes. We are learning that there
was a reason. More of the truth is
coming to light. Norbect and his
associates have done a nice job ot
camouflaging just to 'get by" i'll the
primaries, but the camouflage Is
witherine away AS result, the re-
publican camp is in CONSERVATION.
Norbect is face to face with two pro-
blems, South Dakota taxes and Tom
Ayres' challenge to debate.

good NEWS TO FARMERS

Mr.. O. J. Nelson has just returned
from trip to Washington, Oregon,
and California and is again speaking
in the state. Mr.. Townley has pro-
missed the state management that he
will take time from his other press
ing duties to make a speaking tour
of the state in the near future. Wal
ter Thomas Mills, who is now cam
paigning in Washington will make a
lecture tour in the state this summer.
This is good news to the farmers and
many others who reailze that they
are not capitalists. But this, with
the embarrassing position Norbeck
has gotten into as result of Ayres'
challenge and the South Dakota tax
situation has thrown bomb into rs
publican headquarters.

to be enlarged and modernized. From
the rear OF the present building a

said fever is brought on by public
spirited men. D. B. happens to be

HOW LETTERS CONCEAL
FACTS ON N. ID. TAXES.

FARGO, N. D,--Reports of thoxsi
who have sounded the alarm about
the great increase OF taxes in North
Dakota because of the "Socialistic'
state government do not stand up ua-
der Investigation at county auditor
offices.
The case of H. G. Holz, who wrote,
the following letter to the st. Paa;
Daily News, is typical:
Editor Daily News: The follow-
ing is tax list on property owned by
me at Flaxton, N. d. II you want to

H. C. Hpltz,
"Flaxton, N. d.
Records show his figures for total
taxes correct, but that nearly all the
increase is in county, township and
school taxes, over which neither the
Nonpartisan league nor state officials
have any control.
State Taxes Are $500
In 1917 Mr. Holtz paid $26.O3 in
state taxes. In 1918 he paid only C1
cents more, or s26.64; and in 1919 he
paid $500. The / Increase in his
state taxes was thus 1876 per cent, as
compared with an increase Of f36 per
cent levied on general property for
state purposes in Minnesota.

might be considered to have any COM

THE GREATEST PUBLICITY
DRIVE.

Have you noticed how all the pa
pers that lay claim to be conserva-
tive, all American, tailor-made
friends of the farmer, are participat-
ing in another of those na.ioa-w;,i.a
campaigns to rob the farmer under
the guise of protecting him. Lest
you haven't given it the attention it
deserves we wish to point out its
main features.
The great interests are short CT
cheap labor. We haven't had any
immigration to speak Of or fou.
years. The publicity agents for the
Du Pont interests tell us that the
country is short about 100000 un-
skilled workers. The only other
source of this much wanted cheap la
Dor is our rural sections. So for
over a year we have been treated to
stories of silk-shirt street cleaners.
carpenters in top hats, machinists
going to work in six cylinder cars,
and railroad employees rolling ln
wealth for almost no work at all
This is the bait for the rural suckers.
for when the rural worker goes to
the city he gets the wages and the
conditions, not of the skilled worker
but of the Immigrant.
This is not all there is, however, TO
this greatest publicity drive under
taken by the dark forces in America
since the war The same stuff, ir
face of the market drops which tie
farmer has experienced, tends to lead
him into thinking that in some way
the city labor is to blame for hard
conditions and thus to interfere wi.li
the growing alliance between the far
mer and workingman against tho
common enemy.
The controlled press is advertising
the farm workers away from the fam
by lying stories and statements. AT
the same time it is cleverly trying. TO
deprive the farmer of his one hope of.
improving his condition. This paper
has not participated in the campaign
to defend" the farmer in this style
because it is not drawing its susten-
ance from special privilege.
Even if city labor were really pros
porous, paper that was working for
the farmers would keep Quiet about it.
1t would not constitute itself an en-
ploynent agency for city employers.
