ON Tm TAX QUESTION

Editor World; Following your recent sur-
Eestlon TO discuss Taxes and how they effect
me property owner In Oklahoma, | find that
very few realize that the levy or rate Imposed
against the assessed valuation is OF equal i'm
portancc with tho assessment. Too many tax
payers overlook the fact that the rate or mills
levied should correctly reflect the exact rola-
uon between the total assessed valuation and
the required revenue,
II the required revenue for Tulsa s 5000,
600 ana the total assessed valuation Is $50. .OO0,-
GOO the levy needed would be 10 mills to raise
$500, 600, provided there was no other source Of
revenue except by taxation. However there are
other sources such fines In tho police courts.
When there are $1,000 taken in az cash bonds
AT the police headquarters ON Saturday and
barely $500 reaches the city hall hs fines on
Tuesday something is wrong somewhere.
when the law requires that all revenues OF the
city, should be shown in the financial state
mcnt at June 30th each year and the water
department fails TO make a report of its revenue
there Us something wrong. Any city attorney
who has the nerve TO accept $4,000 per year for
his services and then permit such infraction of

SAFE SYSTEMS
URGED IN Nd.
Officials of Merchants Associ-
alton Blame Laxity For
s'f Depression

y 49, r,# = .sl r-. =
Lax, business methods and efforts
of farmers to handle too much land,
are blamed by. officials of the North
Dakota Retail Merchants association
for the financial condition now
facing many sections Of the state,t in
a statement issued through its presi-
dent, Fred P. Mann, and secretary,
w. A. Donnelly. A sound system Of
merchandising and safer methods OF
farming are urged for the states best
interests in the statement, which fol-
lows:
"That we are facing very critical
times is acknowledged 'by all, those
familiar with the condition in North
Dakota as well as other agricultural
states. The farmers have lost money
this year and many. are unable TO
meet the payments now due on their
land contracts, interest and store ac-
counts. We are all looking for a solu-
ton Of our troubles and a return to
normal conditions, that grain farming
is very uncertain and Improbable as
now conducted is proven fact and
If we are to survive there must be
aradical change in farming methods
The big grain farm must so, and in
it's place come the quarter or half
section farm with the cows, pigs and
chickens corn, clover and potatoes,
something that will bring in money
every day, enrich and improve the
land and assure greater returns and
less expense.
Work Together
"The policy Of strict economy must
be practiced by all farmers and mer-
chants alike, merchants must econo-
mize in the conduct of their business
and use every effort to get merchan-
disc to the consumer at the lowest
possible cost The merchants and
farmers should cooperate in every
way to get price for the products OF
farm that will cover the expense OF
farming operation and leave rea-
sonable profit,
"All business as far as possible
should be done on cash basis to eli
| inmate the additional cost, the greater
losses and interest charges, incident
al to carrying on credit business
The farmer sells for cash, so should
| the merchant, and every effort shoult
be made to eliminate all unnecessary
expense and place the business Of
| farming and merchandising on solid
business foundation. This can be done
!! by the united efforts and close co.
| operation of all.
Poor Methods Cause
| "In our opinion the serious finan
| cial conditions now confronting Sc
many merchants and farmers of ou1
/ state is, the result of poor busines!
methods and the effort of the. farmer
/ to farm too much land and the mer
chant to do big business on tn
credit plan, all taking chances on
bumper crop and high prices to MAX,
{! both ends meet.
Lets go down to safe, SCUM
system of both farming and mer
chandising."

RECALL ISSUES
Former Senator Announces Sup.
port of Recall and Will Soon
Take Stand For It
MAKES SEVERAL SPEECHES
Complains of Actions of Indus.
trial Commission in Man
agement of Affairs
MAKES SEVERAL SPEECHES

Lakota, Oct. l5.-Former United
States senator A. ]. Gronna today
announced that he will take the stump
for the recall Of Messrs. Frazier,
Lemke and Hagan next week. He
will open in Nelson and Steele coun-
ties with speeches at Tolna, Pekin
and Finley next Tuseday and from
then on he will make several speeches
daily until the close of the cam
paign. ....
MIR. Gronna issued statement
setting forth his own opinion on the
recall issues.
"Let all who love their homes, and
the great State of North Dakota turn
out on election day October 28th,
next and vote against the men above
named and also vote yes on such
proposed measures as are necessary
to restore confidence in our State and
her people, inside and outside Of the
State" Says Mr.. Gronna. 81
Personally hold no grievance
against either Mr.. Frazier, Mr.. Lemke
or Hagan, but if the printed re-
ports of their official acts are true,
and believe they are true; then the
taxpayers Of North Dakota are war
ranted in recalling these men from
the high official positions they hold
and Mr.. Frazier as, governor, Mr..
Lemke as attorney general and Mr..
Hagan as commissioner OF agriculture
and labor do not deserve the support
OF our citizens, but on the contrary
they deserve our condemnation and
reproach.
"As public servants they are
charged with mismanagement of the
public business, they are charged
with the misuse and reckless waste
Of public funds.
What Reports Show
after careful study Of these
printed reports no honest and intelli-
gent citizen can approve the tran
sactions in question by these high Of
ficials. l shall name only few OF
great number Of transactions where
they are charged either with mis-
management, misuse ofFfunds, waste
fulness and extravaganza or inc0m-
potency.
"They are charged with mismanage-
ment in the handling Of the home
building association, in the handling
of the w0rkmens compensation
bureau, the Drake mill, the State ex.
! detrimental creamery and the waste
| fulness in the building Of the Grand
| Forks mill.
"The U. s. Sisal Trust transaction
as we'll as the Scandinavian Ameri'
can Bank deal are scandalous and
criminal
1T may be argued that the tran
sactions referred to- were not done
by Frazier. Lemke or Hagan. How
ever, as officials they are rcspon
sible for any and all wrongful acts
both as members of the industria
commission and as officials of th'
| state"
| In concluding his statement Mr
Gronna says II hold the people, OF M:
state in too high esteem to believ,
that any patriotic citizen could be in
fluenced by promises 'of an official po
sition.
