North Dakota
Bonds Safest

The bonds of the State of North
Dakota now being offered to the
public are the safest securities on
the market. Besides paying the
highest rate of interest, they have
the additional advantage of being
tax-free in North Dakota and eX-
empt from federal taxes. The laws
and constitutional amendments by
which these bonds are issued have
been tested and upheld by the Dis
trict Court of North Dakota, by the
Supreme Court of North Dakota,
hv the United States District Court
and finally by a unanimous decision
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States. There is no further au-
thority or appeal. Moreover, the
North Dakota state constitution
provides that the laws authorizing
the issuing of state bonds cannot
be altered, amended or REPEALED un-

The members of the International

failed in crisis and will not fail
now. The fight is won, and this
notwithstanding the support the
employing printers are getting
from persons and associations not
connected with the printing indus
try.
The great majority of offices af-
fected are unable to operate. This
condition will continue as long as
the fight lasts, because it is not
possible to secure competent help
outside our ranks.

Bills TO Insure Just and Equitable
Taxation

Congressman Keller. Of MiunesO-
ta has introduced four bills to re-
licve industry from taxation. and
put it upon unearned incomes and
wealth which said bills have caused
a lot Of commotion in the camp Of
the Communism Of Pef and among
Malefactors Of Great Wealth.
The bills are so closely related
that the defeat of one means the
defeat Of all in the opinion of
their author and are intended to cut
the rate paid on incomes earned as
the result of work done or services
rendered, in half; to increase the
rates on incomes derived from spec
ulation and on money inherited: to
increase taxes on inhertiances up to
30 per cent on 500, 900, 900; to
take taxes off automobiles. excess
profits transportation, admission
to places Of amusement, toilet ar
ticles, wearing apparel and all the
other articles specially taxed with
the exception of tobacco and spirits
and to place one per cent tax
upon land values after deducting all
improvements and allowing an eX-
emption of $4,000 on farm lands.
The taxes which my bills elm
mate took toll of $1,73O,OOO,OOO
from the nations industry in 1920 ,'
said Congressman Keller, "and most
Of this amount was paid by consum-
ers in the form of higher prices.
But when not so shifted, they rested
upon business with paralizing eff
feet. Shut down industries, emitted
stores and unemployment are the
result"

Gotham Held Up
By Crooked Gang

An illegal combination of insur-
ance companies is costing the citi-
zens of New York more than $780,
100000 a year in excessive preml-
ums, it has been developed by the
Lockwood legislative committee.
Premiums aggregating $4l5,OOO,-
900, representing more than half of
the fire insurance written in the
United States, were paid to foreign
companies, principally British, which
have monopolized the mutual bust
ness through methods condemned by
Samuel Untermeyer as "indefensible
and monstrous."
Officials of insurance companies
testified that they are unable to
transact business in New York be-
cause they are unwilling to adopt
unlawful methods.
Alfred M. Best, said to be the
nations leading insurance expert,
says insurance companies have Jug
gled their accounts to defraud the
Federal government of income
taxes.

Young Housekeeper: "What is q

Answer: TIL word 'tacky" means
"ill-conditioned, and ''Tacly Party
is one to which everybody goes dressed
in her oldest clothes. So take along some
old things to wearl The idea is not to be
costumed, but TO look like trump. This
kind OF party is great fun. If you could

STATE TERRITORIAL
CHANGES

Every so often proposals are advanced
70 divide states or TO add part OK ono
state 10 another. Usually these result
in nothing. but the discussions are at
ways interesting. At the present time
two such proposals are being considered
The more important one is to make hFc
states from Texas. The other IS I" SH''
nine counties OF Florida 70 the stat" or
Alabama.
The Texas plan is suggested ~ JuuEe
John y. Garner Of Uvdalc. Texas. senior
member Of the Texas delegation IN the
house Of representatives. RI" would
have the tive new states called North
Texas, South Texas. West Texas anu
central Texas. Most OF Judge Gamers
arguments arc based upon the future,
hut he points out that even today IN"
any candidates who can campaign
Tcxas properly are those with big for
tunes. lie h.licVCS. too. that 4 territory
az large a. TrAaS should have more than
two senators. pointing our that Texas
IS bigger than two New EnglandS. and
VIC, New England has l. senators. while
Texas has but two.
Tyenty-fivc or ~ years from now, the
Judge points out. Texas VIII De naeh
NOR. dcnsely populated than It now H.
and the need for division into several
states will be greater than II present,
II costs a candidate today about $1p.oVO
TO reach the principal points in Texas.
which means that no man who IS not
rich or backed by wealthy interests can
oyer hope for political success there
This is a pcrnicious condition which can
he corrected only IN the way Judge
Garner suggests
Fortunately. the division Of Texas
would be an easy matter. since the act
under which !, was admitted 10 the
Union made provision for such con-
,I,rcncy. All that is necessary IS Tor
The legislator" to vote the change. after
which the governor would notify the
secretary of state at Washington.
The great obstacle N the way OF any
such division IS state pride. which is
no, more fully developed IN any other
state than IN Texas. Possibly the re-
,cntion OF the name "'T&NaS in each
OF the divisions would countcract this
to some extent. Dul iHtI'"HS''''' ~ >''-
proposal in the legislature would I'M
uucstionably call forth som" uery ora
tory. With u territory larger than
Germany. Texas eventually Will no doubt
be divided somewhat as Judge Garner
susGests. nut such 4 division in the near
future is hot probable.
The argument for tn" safe "t nine
Florida counties 10 Alabama IS geo
graphical \ glance a: the map wi't
show = strip OF Florida running west
from tho Apralachicola river and cu,-
ting OF tho larger part Of southern AII-
bama from the Gulf nt Mexico. Inc
largest city in the strip - Pensacola.
In this case. as IN that OF Texas. state
pride will probably prove too strong tor
q division.

compromise the honor "f our people
aud make the United States an outsider
IN the negotiations over Zap and other
war settlements.
Most OF these criticisms are answered
by the resolution itself. Section two
provides that the United States. until It
shall determine otherwise. although It
has not ratified the treaty OF Versailles,
reserves all OF the rights. claims. pow
crS. privileges. indemnities, separations
or advantages TO which it and its ma
,lonals have become entitled. including
the right to enforce the same under the
terms Of the armistiCc signed November
IT. 1918. or any extension or moditica-
tion thereof, or which under the treaty
OF Versailles have been stipulated for
its benefit or 10 which it is entitled as
one OF the princk pal allied and associated
powers"
Naturally, q peace resolution IS only
partial. 1t cannot take the place OF
treaty. nor is il Intended to do so. The
kNoN resolution is intended u repeal
the state of war declared in L joint rcSo-
luton OF congress April 6. 1917, and to
safeguard tn" rights of the United
States pending the conclusion "t Il
treaty. In tn" form introduced at the
last session Of congress. II contained
section repeating all war laws. and am
other requesting the president TO ncEo-
tatc treaties OF peace with Germany
and Austria. 4 law has since been
passed repeating war measures. and the
treaty section was omitted at the re-
quest OF President Harding.
It is Of course incumbent upon Demo-
cratic leaders IN the senate TO oppose tho
Knox resolution. as a defense Of the
Wilson league Of nations. # for no other
reason. Tho resolution is not "inoppor-
tune" On the contrary. it is oprortunc,
in that il will end the technical state OF
war and restore our rotations with
Germany. r" say that 1t is An abandon
nent of our allies. that il will com
promise our honor or that it Will make
us an outsider in negotiations, Is merely
10 make 4 noise without meaning. None
Of those assertions has Tho slightest
foundation in fact. Our relations with
our allies will continue the same. and
our own rights are adequately protected.
