JUST A BEGINNING

While the proposed reductions of
$500, 100000 in government expenses
will afford some slight measure Of re-
lief to overburdened taxpayers, they
are but small pre- portion Of what
could and should be achieved if the
republican party could make up it's
mind to get the government out OF
militarism and out of business at the
earliest possible moment. .
The difficulty is that these reduc-
away at the 20 percent which repre-
sents expenditures for civil pur-
poses, while the 80 percent represent
ing expenditures for wars of the past,
present and future, is left for the
most part, untouched.
Before we get the kind of economy
that will satisfy the taxpayers, con-
gress must take another slash at our
standing army, reducing it from 1907
900 which is now the proposed maxi
mum, to 100000 or even less; it must
declare naval holiday in the building
of capital ships costing $40, O00, 900
and $5O,000,00O apiece; and it must
get out of the shipping business which
is costing the country more than the
railroads cost US.
Repeal of the socalled nuisance
taxes" is not an unmixed blessing.
While they are burden, they serve
to call constant attention to the high
cost of government. The direct tax
of few cents on shirt of theater
ticket or soft drink is daily re-
minder to millions of citizen that our
government has been indulging in an
orgy of extravaganza. # the taxes
are concealed these same citizens
might pay much greater sums indi-
rectly and not even know that they
were being taxed. .A
The contemplated reductions will! be
received with satisfaction, but they
must not be accepted as sop by those
who have been insisting on economy
in. our governments affairs, and they
must not be permitted to dull the
clamor for further economies.
Taxes must be Debated before we
can go much further on the road to-
ward normal prices.-Forum.

than a year after the losses are sus-
tanned, what hope is there Of prompt
payment of fire losses if any should
occur. One Of the chief requirements
of good insurance policy is prompt
settlement of losses. Private COM
panies pride themselves on paying
losses within few days Of the time
they are reported. Sometimes they
are even paid within few hours. It
looks as If the state insurance fund
would pay losses months after they
were incurred or not at all, if the hail
insurance record is any criterion.

Over seventy thousand signatures
have been filed at l. V. A. headquart-
ers at Fargo for the recall and still
more are to follow. There are many
petitions out now and several thous-
and more names will be sent in before
long. The petitions have to be filed
about September first. There is a
marked change in sentiment all over
the state and it becomes more appar-
ent every day that if the election is
held in November there will be a
change of administration. The people
have become weary of this admins
tration.

we're sentenced by Judge BUTTE at
DEVILS Laye yesterday to serve five
rears in the state penitentiary for
tealing an automobile. The sentence
is none too heavy and may have a very
good effect on any other person that
might be contemplating stealing an
automibile. If all the judges would
give these birds the same kind of
medicine it might help curb this
wholesale stealing.

A recent examination of the records
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany shows that there are 1000 bond
holders, $4,000 stockholders, and 3d.
900 employees, giving the figures in
round numbers. Allowing for any
Implications, there are apparently
about twice as many owners of the
road as there are employees, which is
a fact that will surprise most people.
It has always been political theory
that the capitalists are few and the
laborers many, but the theory is sub
ject to qualifications so far as North
ern Pacific ownership and employ
ment are concerned. What is true OF
the Northern Pacific is equally true Of
the other roads Of the country. If
they would can some of the owners,
cut down some Of the big salaried fell
lows, and make an honest effort to re-
duce freight rates and passenger
rates it would be better. The country
is being held up on both passenger and
freight rates.

There are wild rumors floating
around to the effect that Frazier and
Lemke are going to resign so that
Lieutenant Governor Wood can sue
coed to the governorship and thus
block the recall election which is now
assured since enough signatures had
been obtained. Looking at it from a
political standpoint it would be very
foxy move on the part of the leaguers
but by doing so it would be a rank
admission that they were beaten and
they would retire from Office discred-
tied and disgraced. We do not think
Gov. Frazier will do anything of the
sort, but even if he did there would
be some legal way to get around that
kind of deal.

Bill Lemke: boss of the non-partisan
league, when Townley is out of the
state, says that many schools in the
southwestern part of the state will
not be able to open this fall on ac-
count of the lack Of funds. Failure to
pay taxes is the cause says the loqua-
cious William. Mr.. Lemke should tell
the people the truth. 1t is not lack Of
taxes being unpaid, but the proaigate
waste of the money we had in the
state treasury and the Bank Of North
Dakota that is to blame. Seventy
thousand dollars have been paid hired
organizers to try and sell bonds which
money if diverted to the school fund
would have kept several country
schools running the whole season.
Twenty thousand dollars paid for
Lemke's fine palace in Fargo contrary
to law would have kept several other
schools going. The school fund OF
the state has been shot to pieces IN
reckless expenditures and the nonpar-

on the Republican side since consid'
Grafton o. the pending tax revision
bill was begun.
Among the Republican Senators
identified with the newest bloc are
Senators Capper Of Kansas. McNary
of Oregon, Gooding of Idaho, McCor'
mick and Mckinley Of Illinois. Len
root of Wisconsin, Cameron Of Arr.
coma, Harold OF Oklahoma and Oddie
Of Nevada. Members Of the bloc,
when not foregathering daily in the
Republican cloakroom of the Senate,
are meeting almost nightly In Sena'
tor Capper's residence.
Three Plans Considered.
They now have three important
phases Of the tax situation under
considerations: a. the Smoot plan, (2)
the proposed abolition of the higher
income surtaxes. and (3 the planned
repeal Of the excess profits tax.
1t is expected that they will reach
q decision regarding all three within
the next twenty-four hours, which
will probably have an important bear
ing on the jumbled tax situation
which has tied the Republican side of
the Senate in a confusing tangle OF
cross purposes and conflicting opin'
ions.

Smoot sales tax by influential Re.
publican Senators like New Of Indi'

who predict that little opposition will
