The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-05-13

North Dakota will observe leach-
er's Week from May 16 to p. The
governor has issued a proclamation
for observing this week in this state.
The drive for teachers week is design
ed to awaken the people of the state
to the danger of a shortage of trained
teachers unless something is done to
give them adequate pay and to induce
others to continue in the teaching pro-
fession. At the present time many
valuable teachers are going out OF
the profession because they can earn
much more money in some other work.
while on the other hand there are
fewer men and women training them
selves for teaching because they can
earn more money elsewhere, there
fore this causing a shortage of train
ed teachers all over the country and
this teachers week is called to awak-
en- public interest in behalf Of the
public schools Of the state. The chill
drcn of North Dakota are entitled to
the best there is in education and they
should be taught by competent teach
ers. We expect to publish several ar
ticles during the week touching on
this subject.

the anti-Townley forces are as
sembling at Minot today to get ready
for the big convention which opens
tomorrow in the Magic City. Much
interest is shown all over the state in
the choice for governor of this con-
vention, and while we have no more in
side dope than anybody else, we are
going to make the prediction that Will
liam LANCER, of Mandan, present at
Encouragement, will be the nominee
The Fargo Courier-News, one Of the
bitterest opponents of the fearless at
torney general, this morning admits
that he will probably be the choice Of
the convention, which is radical de-
parture from its past opinions, be-
cause that sheet has been saying right
along that LANCER was falling by the
wayside and would be thrown over
board at Minot. This admission Of his
probable nomination must be CALLING
to that bunch we think, and if will be
more calling if he should be both
nominated and elected. The league
papers have called LANCER a traitor
and various other pet names trying
to discredit him before the people of
the state, but we notice that wherever
he goes he gets the crowds and does
lots of good work for the anti Townley
forces. The people can be fooled for
a time but you can't fool the people
all the time and they are now getting
wise to what has been done to them
by the league machine. The league
convention will be held in Fargo on
Friday and Saturday Of this week to
nominate that ticket, after which
comes the democratic convention on
the 10Th to nominate their ticket
then the big early summer free-for-
all will be on. There will only be
about six weeks campaign which is
five weeks too many.

BETTER THAN

Tanlac Did Pierce More
Good Than Change In

'If I had known last winter l

have STAYED at home and got relief from
my troubles by taking Tanlac,' said NJ. b..

Mr.. Pierce is a prominent citizen OF
Swanton and has been for years a valued
pmploye of the Central Vermont railroad.
He has a host Of friends throughout the
station who will be glad to learn OF his
wonderful improvement in health.
For 20 years. explained Mr.. Pierce,
81 was a sufferer from stomach trouble.
had very little appetite and my stomach
was so weak that l suffered a great deal
from nausea, ~fullness after meals, palpIta-
ton, tshortness of breath, dull pains IN my
stomach, constipation and dizziness.
Il was troubled a great deal with rheu-
matism in my left leg, and in fact it
seemed that everything got wrong with
me. I was in a rundown condition gen
orally and it was only by a great effort L
did any kind of work.
MY condition became so bad / went to
Florida, thinking the climate might bene-
fit me, and while there q friend suggested
that 1 try Tanlac, and after returning
home / began taking it. Well, l can say
without hesitation that it has made a
wonderful improvement in my condition.
My appetite now is splendid and | hardly
feel a touch of Indigestion.
Il. never suffer at all from dizziness,
palpitation, sourness or constipation, and
my rheumatism is practically gone. My
nerves nave steadied down and 1 sleep
like a boy. Tanlac has helped me even
beyond my expectations and it gives me
pleasure toarecommend it."

TO REASSESSMENT
State COMMISSIONS Expresses Hope
That New Law Will Give That
Authority. to Someone.

BURLINGTON, Dec. lin the
course of a discussion at the ninth an
nual conference of the New England OH
cials's association in session in this city
State Tax Commissioner Melvin q.
Morse stated that Vermont's public ex-
penses have greatly increased during the
last few years, and the local tax rate
has risen from $1.S1 to $2.35, exclusive
of the direct state tax. ,
Vermont's grand list has increased
from S221, 0O0, 900 to 1921, 100000 or
about 81 per cent while there has been
an increase in the taxes of slightly more
than - per cent during the last six
years. The increase in local taxation,
however. has Jagged behind other things
in the increase in the cost of living.
He called attention to the fact that
Vermont has Jagged largely upon her
general property tax, and that it is the
aim to assess every class of property.
In this. however. the state has not been
entirely successful, for about S15,0OO,-
600 worth of intangibles have disap-
peared from view during the last few
years. the high tax being a strong in
c~entive to hide this class of property.
Mr.. Morse favOrs a fiat rate on intangi-
BILE property. +.
He called attention to the high rate
on bank stock now existing which aver
ages $3.16 on each $1,000, making it
undesirable for investment. He favored
a fat rate for bank stock. The local as
SCISSOR. he said. is the key to the tax sit
uatiOn in Vermont. With the present
law the state authorities rave no power
to re-assess or interfere with the power
of the local assessors, and he hoped the
law might be changed so that the state
would have the power to make re-assess-
ments where needed. He hoped also that
the legislature would see fit to fix the
standard of compensation for assessors,
so that the best men could be persuaded
to take this important task. He said the
state is improving in the cleaning up of
delinquent taxes.
