WATKINS URGED
FOR DIRECTOR

Grand Forks. July 16.-Efforts are
being made by the North Dakota W. c..
T. U. to have F. l.. Watkins appointed
as federal prohibition director for the
state, although it is understood that
President Harding has already nom!-
mated A. A. Stone of LaMoure county
to that position.
Members of the women's organiza-
tion are being asked to send kilograms
to Roy C. Haynes, prohibition commits
sioner, Washington, D. c., urging the
appointment of Mr.. Watkins to the
North Dakota position. Similar tele-
grams are being sent to the North Da-
kota senators and congressman.
Watkins was formerly superintend-
ent of the North Dakota Enforcement
league, and last winter was employed
by Attorney General William Lemke
and State Inspector Harry Dunbar in
law enforcement work.
In letter sent out by Mrs. Eliza,
beth Preston Anderson, state president
of the w. C. T. u, she states that
strong pressure must be brought tC
bear il the appointment of Mr.. Wat
kins is secured"
Reports from Washington, however
; were to the effect that the name OF Mr.
Stone had already ben sent to tn.
senate by President Harding as pro
hibition director for North Dakota.

LEGION STARTS
ANEW0N DRIVE
FOR THE BONUS
National Commander Emery

Much VigOr
CRlTICISES THE PRESIDENT
Holds Sweet Bill for Compensa-
ton will be Passed in the
National House

Chicago, July 16.-The fight of the
American Legion for the soldiers
bonus will be continued with renew
vigor, declared Major John G. Emery
Of Grand Rapids, Mich, national com
mander Of the Legion, in commenting
today on the tracking" Of the
bonus bill in the senate.
g If the war had continued fOl
another 30 days" he asserted, 1T
would have cost the government as
much as the proposed adjusted com.
pensation program.
I'VE consider President Harding s
all wrong in his attitude. Why, the
senate finance committee in its report
declared untrue the claims that the
Sweet bill and the adjusted compen-
sation program would bankrupt the
treasury p.
"The American Legion program
stills stands. We will Immediately
start the fight for bonus all over
again in the house. We have practi-
cally been assured that the Sweet bill
will be passed"
Mr.. Emery asserted the Legion has
well-defined program to tight for
the EOnus and that this will not be
modified r4asa,>.
The wounded and disabled men will
be, taken care of first and then will
come those in financial distress due
to the war, Major Emery said

FACTS FOR THE
CITY TAXPAYERS

A Bismarck taxpayer has had
brought home to him forcibly
the tax cost of doing business in
Bismarck as compared to that
obtaining in other cities of the
nation. He owns property in
Los Angeles which at forced sale
would bring $4,000 and under
normal conditions should bring
$4,000.
He received his tax statement
the other day and the tax
charges were slightly more than
$1OO. On the same class of pro-
perty in Bismarck his tax would
have been between $780, and
5000. .
Here is a concrete instance
and an unanswerable argument
why the tax burdens should not
be increased if Bismarck is to
grow and people are to invest
capital in new buildings, homes
and industries.
Excessive tax burdens drive
capital out of a community.
When the burden per capita ex-
ceeds a certain limit, a city
merely marks time until the
taxes recede so that investment
becomes profitable venture.
Nothing drives capital out OF
productive channels as effec-
lively as high taxes. Let the
voters whether they are direct
or indirect tax payers = and
everyone falls in one of the two
classes up vote of protest
against adding to the present ex'
orbitant tax load of Bismarck.
A Bigger and Better Bismarck
-so say we all.
! But that will only come after
there has been a substantial re-
duction in the tax rate.
Remember the date July 26.
Failure to vote is tantamount
to voting Yes for an increase ii
taxes.
