A MEMORABLE CONVENTION

Members of the Arizona delegation
to the Kansas City convention of the
American Legion bring back roseate
reports of that gathering. The show
ing made by this state was wonderful
although not any more so than it
should have been, considering the res
ponse which the young men of this
state made when their country called
upon them.
Looking back over the history of the
United States, one can but be empress
ed by the direct influence upon nation
al affairs which for years was exer-
cised by the veterans of the G. A. R.
These men, bound together by ties Of
comradeship cemented by the bap'
tisim of fire, long have stood
for staunchness and loyalty to
the existing government. Their
influence invariably has been
good. The hardy old boys
who fought to preserve the Union
have proved, in many a critical hour,
that the courage which imbued them
in the sixties never has diminished.
Today the nation stands upon the
threshold of new era The hour of
ieadjustment is upon us and new ideas
and ideals rapidly are replacing the
old. Tradition has not so strong a
hold on the hearts of the American
people as formerly. The public is
learning new ways and new standards
of measurement.
Wherefore the American Legion's
convention, which has just closed,
really means much as regards our fu-
ture as nation. The same spirit OF
devision, loyalty and patriotism which
imbued the men who wore the blue in
the days of sixty-one actuates the
young manhood of America who wore
the, khaki in the war-torn fields Of
Europe in the worlds greatest strug-
gle. There are more than a million
of these true-hearted Americans, and
there can be no doubt as to their pa
triotism and devotion. Some sixty
thousand of Americas young heroes
we're in line in the great parade which
marked the official close Of the in
spring fact.
To the "older heads" the men Of
conservative and deliberate habit
throughout the nation, the convention
must have brought vast degree of
comfort, for it is of record that none
of that body's official deliberations
was marked by hot blood or impetu-
BUSINESS. Rather was there remark
able deliberation and good judgment
displayed, every official act of the
great gathering being marked by good
sense and tempered with merry and
justice.

stand any demand that may be placed
upon them by the stock occupying
them this season, The importation
Of large number of cattle from Mexi-
co is viewed with favor inasmuch as
native stock has been much depleted
during the past year Reports to the
weather bureau Office at Phoenix in
dicate that the water supply in the
east and northeast is diminishing
somewhat but is still adequate for all
the needs of stock. Ranges and
stock are still reported as good to ex-
cellent.
Warm, dry weather has greatly ia
vored all agricultural activities in dry
land sections of the state enabling
harvesting of grain. Potatoes are a
large crop in northern counties and
the yield is good but tubes are not
fully ripened owing to the unusually
long growing season. Killing frosts
are much later than usual and as a
consequence potatoes, corn, beans and
squash vines continue green. Cotton
picking has been favored by dry
weather and is progressing we'll but a
number Of fields in both the Salt River
aBd Yuma valleys remain untouched.
Water iagain available for irrigation
in the Yuma section, main canal re.
pairs being completed. Much maize
remains ungathered in that section,
that planted on bottom lands flooded
by the Colorado river last spring show
ing a splendid yield. Oranges are
coloring slowly in the Yuma valley
but are quite sweet; Salt River valley
grape fruit are plentiful in local mark

LEMKE APPLIES FOR ORDER
RESTRAINING OFFICIALS
/ FROM TYING UP FUNDS

Attorney General William Lemke applied to the supreme
court late today for order restraining officials of Golden
Valley from gamisecng the Bank Of North Dakota funds in
local banks the ground that they state funds and not
subject to such levy.
No action taken by the court and there seemed
lctancc to jurisdiction Mr. Lemkc stated that if the
petition not acceptable, he planned taking appeal
from the local court in Golden Valley other county
where such action has taken place.
This action marks another step the fight which has wagd
around the Bank of North Dakota since the probe
began.
Many counties plan starting proceedings tie up funds
of the state in deposit in other banks other than the Bank of
North Dakota to prevent withdrawal from the local banks
into the state bank.

TAX PRIMERS.
MAY BE HAD
FROM OFFICE
Can Obtain Copies of Taxation
Guide, Says Byerly.

The following statement has been
issued by Collector of Internal Rev
enue, w. E. Byerly:
Copies of the Income Tax Primer
recently issued by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, which contains ques-
tiOns and answers relative to the fiji
ing of income tax returns, are avail
able at the office of the Collector OF
Internal Revenue, Fargo, North Da-
kota. Copies may be obtained only
through collectors office, and are not
being mailed from Washington"
Numerous inquiries have reached
the Bureau OF Internal Revenue rela-
tive to the decision of United States
district court of Connecticut in the
Brewster case, in which it was held
that gains and profits realized from
the sale of capital assets is not tax
able income. The United States at
torncy for Connecticut has been au-
thorized to perfect an appeal to the
supreme court of the United States
for a review of the decision. Since
congress, under the provisions of the
income tax acts of 1913, 1916 and
1918, has directed the taxation as in
comes of such gains and profits, the
bureau will contiGue to collect the
tax thereon, unless and until the su-
preme court shall hold that provision
of law to be unconstitutional.
"The same question is involved in
the Eldorado and Ryerson cases
which were argued in the supreme
court some weeks ago. A decision in
these cases undoubtedly will settle
the general question. In view Of the
severe penalties provided by law for
false and fraudulent income tax re-
turn, taxpayers are warned not to
omit from their returns for the year
1920 such gains and profits.

ing on rates for mixed cars Of live

mixed cars; II associations in Mich
igan averaged shipping IS cars Of
which so we're mixed; 6 associations
in Colorado averaged shipping Al cars
Of which % were mixed; Minnesota,
20 associations averaged shipping -
cars Of which 36 were mixed.
The basis of the testimony of the
shippers was that mixed cars are ne
cessary to cooperative livestock ship

to the farmer who does not produce

Information of particular interest tC

morning.
The testimony bore on charges
made before the fall campaign, when
the Valley City TimesIRecord alleged
that the Bank Of North Dakota had
been used to help finance the Nonpar.
tisan league campaign. The Tribune
printed the statement Of that paper
and a denial by F. w. Cathro. direc
tor-general OF the bank.
Several of the anti.league campaign
speakers in Burleigh county referred
to this deal in their speeches, and at
one meeting held at Painted Woods
an employe of the Bank of North Da'
kota appeared, saying he was rep
resentative of Mr.. Cathro. and was
sent to declare the anti-league speak.
ers were mistaken.
The deal, according to the testi.
mony, was in this manner:
Six Nonpartisan league farmers
living near Valley City signed
notes for $500 each and received
certificates of deposit from the Sc
curity National bank, which Ger.
tificates they turned over to A. c.
Townley or other Nonpartisans.
The Security National bank was
assured that the Bank of North
Dakota would keep more than $l5,-
900 in the bank during the life OF
the loans, and the president WAS
said to have authority to refuse
to honor drafts of the Bank Of
North Dakota on this money. The
bank paid the Bank of North Da-
kota 4 per cent interest for the
public funds, and got 10 per cent
interest on the loans to the farm
ers for Townley. The bank pres
. ident, who is said to have arrang-
ed the deal was not present to
deny or affirm it. No one from
the Bank of North Dakota was OIL
the stand.
s. Ellis, Lee Cowell, chairman OF
the banks board of directors, and
John f. Staube, one OF the FARMERS
who signed the notes, testihed.
Objection to Loan.
ELLIS, said that the objection to the
loans had raised in the bank that the
men were not customers Of the bank,
and the bank should care for his Gus
toners. He said he was informed that
loaning $4,000 wouldn't lower the
funds any because he gathered from
what Grady, president of the bank
said, that the Bank of North Dakota
would deposit money to more 'nan
equal the amount loaned.
