Aberdeen Elects Wobblies

Members Of the l. w. w. and itin-
Grant friends of the organization, 103
in number. were driven from Aber-
deem Friday by posses Of citizens
aroused by efforts to obstruct work in
harvest fields.
After being the center Of agitation
undertaken by syndicalists, the town
is quiet now, due to the effective
roundup and election of radicals by
Sheriff Henry C. Elliott and his depu-
ties. More trouble was expected to
develop momentarily, however, after
an unverified report that 300 alleged
I. w. w. had commandeered freight
train at Mitchell and are supposed to
be bound for Aberdeen. There were
other reports of an organized mobil-
ization Of the forces Of discomfort.
Other freight trains on the St. Paul
and the Chicago & North Western
railway are said to be carrying al
legged I. w: w. in various numbers,
all destined for Aberdeen.
The men driven from the city were
taken in two groups by the posses,

corted about ten miles from the city
limits the sheriff's deputies turned
back and the disturbers promptly es-
tablished camps. It was the begin

Trouble started with the arrest of
Harry Casey, taken into custody
Thursday night after he had urged
a large and nondescript audience not
to work in the harvest fields. He
was arraigned in municipal court next
morning, and on his request trial was
postponed until Monday.
Immediately after Casey's arrest a
delegation visited Police Chief Ander-
son with demand that the prisoner
be released. The demand was refused
and the crowds became surly.
Friday groups of fifteen and twenty
men entered several restaurants and
ordered meals varying in cost from

refused to pay for the food, shouting
as they walked out together, "Charge

then there is no assurance of any
good laws.
AS I view the situation, aside from
such relief as may be given by the
governor and VIM. Lemke, there is no
available remedy, only by the submis-
sion and passage Of some good initia-
tive measures at the next state wide
election in June, 1922.

DOWNWARD TAX
REVISION URGED
Judge Robinson in Weekly Letter
Shows State is Spending Too
Much Money
SPECIFIC REMEDIES NEEDED
Good Initiative Measures Should Be
Passed

The following is part Of Judge Rob-
ilson's weekly letter and should prove
interesting because it deals with tax
problems:
In the letter Of last Saturday we
gave detailed statement Of the funds
collected by the state treasurer for
the year of 1920, amounting to &c.
466, 6,187.98, and 1921 taxes collected
during the first five months amount
ing to $4,437, ,453.14.
About $3.50 Of the taxes for 1920
remains .uncollected. By adding this
to the sum collected you will find that
for the year 1920 the total Of state
taxes was insexcess of thirteen and
one-half million dollars.
You will readily see that is twice
the sum Of a reasonable state tax.
For these two years the regular state
tax levy was based on the assessment
of the years 1919 and 1920, and in
those years Governor Frazier and
VIM. LANCER were in control of the
state board Of equalization. BY add
ing large per cent to the assessed
valuation they boosted the state and
local tax levies. We must learn to
place the blame or responsibility
where it belongs and to give unto
Caesar that which is Caesars.
In the year of our Lord 1921-in
Acknowledgements Frazier and VIM.
Lemke will be in control of the state
board Of equalization and will levy the
regular state tax which is based on
assessed valuation. The question is,
show much will they reduce the as
easements and the tax levies?" so, it
would knock some wind out Of the re-
call.
Do you know why it is that the
state and the local taxes amount to
such an enormous figure? Do you
know why the state appoints tax COM
missioners and tax supervisors to
build up such colossal system of tax
alton? The reason is that those who
are in Office and who levy the state
and local taxes prefer to handle a
large sum rather than a small sum
because there is a greater chance for
part of it to stick to the fingers of
themselves or their friends.
AS the tax question is everybody's
business it is nobody's business. No.
body cares to assume the burden of a
public accounting or of calling indig-
nation meetings to expose the wrongs
by showing exact figures. Few, if
any, know where to place responsible
ity, where to turn for relief and how
to obtain redress.
The political leaders who demand
recall talk against high taxes, but
they do not point to any means Of
relief. They do not denounce the big
state nurslings and the appropria-
tions. Their general talk amounts to
nothing. The tax maladies call for
specific remedies. The law makers
Of last session all denounced the high
taxes and yet they boosted the taxes
by making excessive appropriations
and they refused to consider remed-
ial tax legislation. The next regular
session Of the law makers will not be
until 1925. and their laws will not
take effect until July, 1923. That is

HIT
BY Wl(DSTORM
Five Persons Injured, Many Buildings
Destroyed and Crops
Damaged
HAIL IN JAMESTOWN DISTRICT
Considerable Damage Reported in the
Country West Of Missouri

Five. persons were injured and con-
siderable damage done to buildings
and crops by a,terriic wind and rain
storm which swept across Richland
county Saturday evening.
The injured were FIVE Of the Louis
Kurtz family Of eight, whose home in
Galchutt was blown away by the
storm. A relief train was sent out
from Breckenridge and the five in
jured taken to the st. Francis hos
pital.
Growing grain in, the path Of the
storm was lodged to some extent and
in some districts serious damage to
wheat and corn was reported. Around
Wahpeton and Breckenridge the corn
was lodged more than the other grain
but the damage to crops was consid-
cred slight.
In Wahpeton and Breckenridge
about half Of the plate glass windows
in the store buildings were blown out
and numerous small barns, garages
and trees blown down.. Several farm
buildings near there were demolished
by the wind.
The grandstand and the bleachers
at the Wahpeton fair grounds were
wrecked by the storm and part Of
the roof on the brick gymnasium at
the United States Indian school was
blown off.
On the Morrison farm, four miles
east Of Breckenridge, all Of the build
ings except the farm house were de-
stroyed by the storm early in the
evening, and hailstorm which struck
in the vicinity Of the Morrison farm
about II p. m. destroyed the crops,
according to Mr.. Morrison.
Reports from Galchutt state that a
large number Of farm barns in that
vicinity had been partially demolished
and some Of the crops were hurt con-
siderably.
The Richland county storm swept
east from Wahpeton to Fergus Falls
and in the Lake Ida district, al
though it lost most of it's force few
miles east Of Wahpeton.
Considerable damage. was done by
hail through Burleigh county, north Of
Mckenzie and Menoken. The wind
blew down several windmills and tel
egraph poles.
Henry Clark, farmer, suffered a
broken hip when a header fell on him.
The weather report shows rain at
the following stations: Bismarck, .15;
Bottineau; .03; Glendale, 80; Fes-
senden, .03; Jamestown, 1.24; Lis
bon, .0S; Napoleon, 20; Moorhead, .O4.
A severe hail and windstorm Sat-
urday night destroyed or partially de-
stroyed crops near Jamestown. Hail
stones as large as walnuts fell at
jamestown, breaking many windows.
Storms seemed to come from three di-
rections and united about three miles
east Of that city. Various areas on
which crops were wholly or partly de-
stroyed are: A stretch four miles by
eight miles east Of Jamestown; 1000
acres west Of Buchanan; losses near
Streeter, at Gackle and Nortonville.
Hail in the vicinity Of Mandan did
serious damage on one farm. How

Duck Refugees
in Marsh Areas

recently TO the adoption of other
measures to encourage waterfowl. A
number of extensive marsh areas have
been made permanent refugees under
the guardianship of the Department of
Agriculture, and many private pre-
serves. some formed by artificial
means, have been established where
the birds are protected while nesting
As "a means of cooperating In such
efforts TO maintain and Increase the
number Of waterfowl, the biological
survey of the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture has undertaken
Investigations of the general conditions
under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts of the
birds found In areas varying In char
acter. During three summers, field

During the three seasons devoted to
this work II species Of ducks and the
Canada goose were found breeding In
the region included In the Bear river
marshes, which cover an extensive
area AT the northern end Of Great
Salt Lake. In an enumeration made
during May and June. 1916. Of the IL
species Of breeding ducks $500 pairs
were counted, and II Is believed that
this number represents between 60 and
100 per cent OF the total number of
breeding ducks occurring here that
season.
Vast Number In One Region. .
Allowing five young reared to ma
turlty as the average for each pair,
and considering 1916 ms an average
season. the bulletin states that. at a
conservative estimate. between 25,000
and 10000 wild ducks, native to the
marsh. are TO bee found there at the
close OF the breeding season.
II was found that, I'm addition to
the large numter of birds reared on
the Bear river area. many other ducks
came IN after the nesting season to re-
main there until fall. That birds from
the Bcnr river section range widely
after leaving these marshes has been
shown by records Of ducks that have
been banded and released there and
subsequently were shot elsewhere. Rec
ords thus obtained show that birds re-
leased near the mouth of Bear river
in migration cover the region from
Oklahoma Ia Texas and west TO Cal
ifornla. The department urges the es-
of greater number Of
preserves where Wild fowl may breed
and rest unmolested and find an am
pls supply of food.
