Expenses.

Although the cost of living has
hit the states. and their individual

real estate and personal property
taxes, and of the remainder. the larg-
est item-s10S, 430,1S5-was contrib
uted by business taxes other than on
>liquor traffic. One hundred and four
million, two hundred and twenty-five
thousand, five hundred and fifty-tw

fic; S13554,063 was received from spe-
cial taxes other than on property,

states the revenues exceeded the eX-
penditures for governmental cost by
S5O192,314, or TIC cents per capita.
In the remaining seventeen states the
revenues fell below the expenditures

UNCLASSIFIED WORKERS
TOPIC AT CONFERENCE
Committee to Wait on Civil Serv.
ice Commission Concerning
Status of 10000 Clerks.

Members of the joint conference on
retirement are to confer with the Civil
Service Commission as to the inclusion
of unclassified civil service workers in
the benefits of the retirement law.
This was decided at a meeting of the
executive committee of the conference
held last night. Chairman R. H. Al
corn was instructed to appoint COM
mittee to wait upon the Civil Service
Commission.
The conference had planned to direct
ly ask the President to issue an execu-
tive order bringing unclassified workers
under the retirement act, but decided to
defer such action until the whole mat
ter has been discussed with the civil
service body.
1t is believed that there are approx
mately 10000 unclassified civil service
workers here in the District Some of
these are workers with such indefinite
and broken work periods that it would
be difficult to make them subject to re-
tirement. Others, however, are be-
lieved to merit retirement under the
same terms as do the classified workers

PR0CRESSIVES +.
MAKE GAINS

Fargo, March 18.-While it is not
yet clear that the progressive Repub-
lican and Democratic tickets won in
the primaries of last Tuesday it is
certain the the progressives Of both
parties have made considerable gains
in the cities which are generally sup
posed to be the strongholds of reac-
ton. In Fargo, for example, the vote
for the progressive Republicans was
considerably higher than was the
Congressman John NJ. Baer in 1918.
Grand Forks and other cities showed
similar gains for the progressive
cause The returns from the cities
have had SOLDERING effect on the 1.
V. A.. leaders of both parties It is
not known how many polling places
were closed all day on account Of the
storm but the farmer vote which
would have swept the state for the
progressives was greatly reduced by
the blizzard. Even at that it is con-
coded that if thirty per cent of the
rural vote was cast the progressive
Republican and Democratic delega-
tions were elected.
Even the reports from the cities
indicate that the four amendments
to the state constitution were adoped.
The Courier News comments on the
situation as follows: "The fattering
big vote can only mean that the peo-
pie as whole have confidence in the
trainers legislature. Even the enc
mics of the Nonpartisan League are
evidently ready to concede that on
the whole the work of the legislature
has been excellnt. Not a single law
passed by that body and submitted to
the people has yet been defeated"

profound and learned Mr.. George w.
Cudhie, esquire, general counsel for
the majority members Of the board
OF county commissioners. This bril-
liant bunch pulled bone. A bone
that means that the needy farmers
will probably not get their hoped lpr
seed grain.
The news spread that the bon -
sue was not legal: not soul would
take the county warrants. Seed
wheat could not be bought. The
bonds by law can only be issued to
fund the warrants after the war
rants are issued. No seed grain
could be secured. The banks would
not take a chance on the warrants
in fact nobody wanted to buy pigs in
pokes.
Then the people discovered that
the County Commissioners were not
handling the seed grain fund in the
manner as promised. It was soon
evident that the seed grain speculat-
ors had the cards stacked. The farm
ers and bankers in the Scobey pre-
cinct rose as man. A meeting was
called at Scobey. Jake Timmons and
his friend, learned counsel Cudhie
were called on the carpet and it look
ed for a while as if they would be
mobbed. They had pulled their foxy
grandpa stuff once too many. There
was CONSERVATION. Two elections
had been called for a bond issue and
one was lost and one won. Still the
farmers are to get no seed grain.
Due to what? Due to the monument
tai stupidity, inefficency and ignor-
ance of Mr.. Cudhie and his bench
men, Mr.. Timmons and Watkins,
coupled with the failure of Mr.. Do
lin to deliver the necessary printing,
and because the jellyfsh, spineless
specimen in the Clerk & Recorder
office did not have the CUTS to go to
a shop where he could get the print
ing and get it when he should have
gotten it. That would have offended
Mr.. Dolin and Mr.. Major cherishes
the good will and regards of Mr..
Dolin and men of hir exalted char
acter.
Something had to be done. Nobody
knew what to do. Somebody sug-
gested that a crowd go to the Twin
Cities to see if bank could not be
found that would handle the seed
grain warrants. Not knowing what
else to do, it was decided to do this.
The caravan set out on the voyage.
The three Commissioners, Lawyer
Cudhie, Rex Movius, together with
Banker Beiseker and other local al
legged bankers, left to do or to die.
What they all went for, no one
knows, unless it was to have mob
in order to set up hue and a cry.
Mr.. Cudhie went along, Mr.. Timmons
and Matkins went along, Rex Movius
went along. Others could have gone
along to if they had wanted to, but
they didn't want to. It is hoped that
all arrived safe and that none Of the
boys got lost. The county is paving
the bills, which guarantees a bowling
good time. There is a possibility
that all may find their way home
again. But whether or not they will
be able to sell the warrants is very
questionable.
It may be that it was thought that
bonds could be sold by mass action.
But it is impossible to sell good,

legal bonds of any kind just now. And
it is a safe bet that no bank in Min
neapolis will take the warrants. The
bankers here wont take chance on
them, and it looks now as if the
farmer will be able to put in his
eye all the aid that he will get this
year by means Of the county seed
grain bonds.
For this he can thank his county
officials: stupidity is costly.

candlestick maker all had a bon voy-
