Now that the supreme court of the
United States has decided in fovor of
the Nonpartisan program with refer
ence to bonding the state for private
enterprises we look to see the pro-
posed bond issue of millions of dol
lars carried outas originally planned.
And when the first issue is exhaust
ed there will be other bond issues to
follow. Mr.. Voter bear this in mind
when you vote at the primaries.
Also think of the increase in taxes
you had to pay this year over last
year, then add a few million dollars
more to be raised by taxation and
you have the condition that will con-
front you if the Townley program
carries this fall. AS far as Mr..
Townley and the rest of his import
ed leaders are concerned it makes
no difference to them what the taxes
will be for they are practically all
nonresidents and do not pay any tax
es nor do they expect to in the fut.
ure.
When they are voted out Of power
they will pack their grips and go
elsewhere and you will be left to pay
the bills. The bonds with interest
have to be paid and the taxpayrs
VII! have to paw them.
Remember the Pioneer Express
said two years ago that we could see
no reason why your taxes would not
increase materially in another year
and our predictions have come true
The same will be the case If the
bonds are issued and il the Nonparti-
sans carry the election they are sure
to issue the bonds.

While in st. Paul the other day we
overheard a conversation between a
number of men in the lobby of the
First National Bank, discussing trade
situation. One Of the men said he
would not be surprised if wheat sold
for IS bushel before this years
crop is marketed. He said he bas-
ed his opinion on the shortage in
the winter wheat section and reduced
acreage in the spring wheat section.
Others questioned his judgment but
he claimed that he had been follow
ing the markets for many years and
he seldom found himself wrong.

The State Sheriff Law

Inc State Sheriff Law
Why should the voters of North Dakota Gre
ate another aw-enforcing office with an appro-
priation of $4,000, and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
We have constables and justices of the peace
In every township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city, a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand juries,
courts of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
licensing and inspection department, and a
National Guard, all Of it operating at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers for the purpose Of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have law
adding state sheriff and a state constabulary
to all the rest Of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as a citizen Of North Dakota be-
leve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who SHAH have authority
to order all county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do, and to remove them from office if
they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th, that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about
this law. Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed. Ask them to vote NO on
this law on primary election day.

: must answer in substance the following ques-
private letter files, check books, and the records
of your lodges, your churches and your school
board in order to get material for political black
mail? you do not, then you must vote against
the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes it possible for committee Of five men,
all Of them members of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 Of taxpayer money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even its chairman alone,
can cause private Investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under tho pre-
tense Of making Investigations, political hench-
men Of the Nonpartisan League can be kept at
work in every county in the state for the benefit
of the League tickets at the expense Of all tax
payers, League or not League.
It may be true Of q few members Of the Nom
partisan League as it is of most Of the leaders
in it, that they would want such law in opera
tion for the purpose Of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them, bu$
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or Offices of the state government as q
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose of promoting their personal political be-
liefs, or getting their personal friends into pub
lie office It is we'll to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just as
unfairly against the League and in favor Of
those who oppose it.
No political gang of any kind will ever get
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, and get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

The Absent Voters Law
Do you believe it would be wise thing for
the voters of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
people who are not electors to vote in any pre-
cinct they may choose, by means of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark their ballots in the presence of
political agent, whether he is member Of the
Nonpartisan League, the I. v. A. or any other
organization that is especially interested in our
political situation?
It is well enough to propose to make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were tho
whole motive, why not leave the law in such
shape as to protect the secrecy Of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neighbors about
this law and ask them to vote ''No" on it.

Damages Asked by
Curnee Mum for
Jewel Hit by Bullet
Express Company Contends
Some Person, Fearing
Bomb, Fired Into the Box
Which Held the Necklace

Gurnee Mum, son-in-law of Rodman
Wanamaker, is demanding several
thousand dollars damages from the
American Railway Express Company
because, he says, package containing
100000 diamond necklace for his
wife was delivered at his homo in Rad
nor, Pa, with a bullet hole in it and
one of the diamonds shattered by the
missile.
Mum insists the package was in
Jured while in the custody of the Amer
lean Railway Express Company, which
transported it from Tiffany's here to
Radnor.
In reply, the express concern insists
that it has receipt signed by the Mum
housekeeper which shows that the
package was in good condition when
delivered. 1t holds that the bullet was
fired into the parcel by someone in
the Mum household who believed that
the necklace box was bomb.
The New York bomb squad and H. A.
Campbell, of the local Office of the
United States bureau of mines, uphold
the express company's contention
different string from that with
which the original box was tied was
used in rewrapping it, the authorities
say. The bullet. which is of 80 cali
Der, was fired from distance Of rs
feet or more, and though there is a hole
in the outer, wrapper of the package
this cannot be made to fit over the
hole in the box itself
Mr.. Campbell assumes that whoever
fired the shot first removed the outer
wrapping and later tore a hole in it to
make 1t appear as though the bullet
had passed through it.
The American Express Company also
