practical value to the people whom 1t
is designed to accommodate. Presum-
ably separate units may be utilized
before others are completed. The
work should be got under way and
pushed as rapidly as is consistent
with the best friction .
Then to add to the agony Justice
Robinson has number Of laws which
he proposes to initiate at the June
primaries. With the administration
urging more taxes to engage in state
socialism, Justice Robinson would
cut the tax income down by plan to
rebate taxes. Regardless of the mer
it's of such procedure and there
are serious obstacles to such a plan,
it is going to be mighty popular with
the tax payers especially the tax dod-
ger and that unfortunate individual,
and there are many in these lean
years, who simply cannot pay. his
taxes.
There is no doubt but that the &C
tivities Of Justice Robinson in his law
to rebate a material portion Of taxes
levied for specific purposes, has caus'
cd considerable worry in administra.
ton circles. 49, 9th
Whether the l.. v, A. organization

June has not been made apparent as
yet. 1t will be exceptional, however
if the organization has nothing to sub
nit to the voters. Few elections have
gene by without the usual allotmen
of panaceas.
Not all is harmonv in the leagu
ranks. There is, balance Of powe
clique, which is making faces at the
faction which wants to jump in an(
lollow the old tactics OF a straight
league ticket. The Courier!News is
under the domination of the faction
not quite responsive to A, c. Town
ley. While not discrediting Townley
completely, the paper opposes his bal
ance of power idea. In the LANCER
retraction, the, Courier-News alienated
a large number Of leaguers who now
feel that they have been fed up on
false, statements.
Then there is a faction that wants
til March convention in Fargo and
another which wants it staged at Bis

SHOULD BRING RELIEF

Considerable credit is due the state administra-
tion for it's energetic drive to market hail war
rants. The Supreme court has disposed Of the
legal issues and the securities can now be mar
keted under plan proposed by the members of
the industrial commission and the state insurance
commission.
This decision will expedite the sale and bring
several millions of new money into the state at a
time when it is badly needed. Insurance Commits
sioner Osness has been working harmoniously
with Governor Nestos, Attorney General Johnson
and Commissioner Kitchen
It was feared that legal barriers would prevent
the sale of the hail warrants upon the terms made
by Twin City purchasers of such securities.
North Dakota can go ahead and negotiate loan
with the hail warrants as collateral. Under the
decision the hail commissioner is held to have full
authority to certify that the warrants are valid
obligations Of the department.

AN EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

No periodical in the nation has done more to
promote the aims and ideals of the Washington
disarmament conference than the Literary Digest
The service has been performed by arranging in
most intelligent and exhaustive manner all data
in favor and in opposition to the issues fathered
by the Harding administration. The strictly i'm
partial and impersona presentation of the articles
has brought before the American people in a
graphic way the benefits to be gained through the
agreements recently arrived at in Washington.
The Literary Digest has had complete dis
armament number devoted to statistics and views
on the issues involved, and compilation Of the
war strength of nations with the cost Of war.
This number was followed by issues devoted
almost exclusively to Japan, China and France.
All the numbers should be preserved in public and
private libraries as reference works Of inestmable
value.
A fitting climax to the brilliant group Of num-
bers, would be an issue devoted to the accomplish
ments of the conference. The Literary Digest is
supreme in it's unique field. It has quckened in
terest in the most momentous issues growing out
of the world war. The efforts of it's publishers
and editors are worthy of the greatest support
and highest commendation. G

the average voter is asking whether
it is mot an .opportune time to- revive
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. These organizations have been
parked away for the last five years
and there seems to be a demand to
trot out the discarded machines and
timber them up again. Probably, say
the advocates of a reOrganized Repub-
lican and Democratic organization,
they are not the best in the world, but
hey seem to make less mistakes and
give better satisfaction to the tax
layers than the mugwump, hybrids
hat have dominated state politics for
he last five, years. TOwnley in his
address in Minneapolis intimated that
le believes party action along the old
traditional lines is better, for he said
hat his league idea had brought
lbout government by "dubs." =; :
With a federal Republican admins.
ration in the saddle, and a senatorial
I ght ahead it is natural that party
eaders should long for some kind of
regularity in party action North Da
;ota is not the first state to follow a
lunch Of political mavericks pff the
eservation and then return to old
tandards and we'll known brands 1t
the logical transition Whether the
V. A. contingent and league forces
will revamp along old party lines is a
uestion. Leaders Of both factions
re cliinging tenaciously to their pet
rganizations, but probably the voters
will decide that short route to de-
:reased taxation and increased etfic-
5ncy in government is a return to
)arty regularity.
The STATE is sick of programs. Tax
ayers are anxiots to reduce govern
mental activities to the minimum and
not stage any more state industrial
failures such as the audits are dis
closing. There are signs that the
pendulum is swinging back and pro-
grams that mean more taxes and
more jobs are going to be very un.
popular next June. A general clean
up program and junking of the
whole industrial scheme fathered by
l. V. A. and league alike would bring
reduced taxes. The liquidation Of
these foolish enterprises doubtless
would bring about tax reduction
quicker than anything else. Repub-
licans can rally around no better plat
form than that which promises an end
of state socialism and the getting
back to solid ground. To daily and
bolster up Townley's program which
even the maker has denounced as de-
fective will be fatal in the long run.

A NEW DISCOVERY

Important discovery: A way has been found to
determine the sex of chickens as soon as they
hatch from eggs. Previously, the chick had to be
at least six weeks old before it's sex could be
known. ..'
This discovery is Of great value to farmers.
They now can be certain they are purchasing pull
cts if they want to produce eggs, or cockerels If
they are raising chickens for food.
Discovery is announced by DR.. Leslie C. Dunn OF
Storrs experiment station, Connecticut Agricul-
tural College, "
One hundred years ago, about all that was
known of chickens was that they laid eggs and
were good eating. ".

ABOUT INCOME TAX

About your income tax: Uncle Sam will not
allow claims for depreciation in the actual value
Of land, home or property such as an>auto used
for pleasure. .... -.
But if buildings, autos or other devices are used
as productive tools of business depreciation can
be written off. -..r.'...
Only depreciation recognized by income tax col
ector is that which results from exhaustion, wear
and tear Of property by it's use in trade, business
profession or vocation
The home of family is denied the advantage
given to the home Of business. This may not
satisfy your ethics. But it's the law.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

There were many other places in
Mistland, and Nancy and Nick missed
none Of them thanks to the kindness
Of Buskins and Scootalong.
The queer little train stopped next
at Fog Town, where fairies were fill
ing large bags with the thick misty
stuff and tying the tops with string.
Il. thought fog was sort of nuis-
ance," said Nancy. when we're out
having a ride and it gets foggy, Dad
dy always says, oh, isn't it nuis-
ance,' because he can't see where he
is going"
NO" said Buskins, "fog isn't al
ways nuisance. Usually it is kind.
Its chief use is to fool Jack Frost.
At this time of year, when he ought
to be minding his manners and hik-
ing off to the sky, Jacks generally
hiding round watching his chance to
nip the fruit. So the fog fairies have
to play policeman and when he's
around, they open their bags so he
cant see where the apples and cher
ries are" -..t. .-.sa....
After that they visited Winter
Town, where the snow fairies lived.
but it was closed for the season and
all the houses were boarded up. The
snow fairies were having vacation,
most likely up at the North Pole. "
That was the last of the towns in
Mistland, so the visitors got on
Scootalong's train again for the re-
turn trip. This time Scootalong let
them look inside of his engine and
they could see the little steam fairies
pushing the wheels around.
They soon arrived at the place
where the apple tree elevator was
waiting. So thanking Scootalong and
bidding him goodby the Twins and
Buskins descended to the earth.
II shall see you once more, kid
dies said Buskins, as he bade them
goodby. There is one more coun-
try in the Land-of-Up-in-the-Air that
you would like to visit, am sure.

ATTEMPTING TO REVIVE A ONCE GREAT
DAQTV

Only general election can show how far Brit
ish public opinion responds to the challenge flung
at the coalition government by the Independent
Liberals, for whom former Premier Asquith and
Viscount Grey are the chief spokesmen. These
men assailed Lloyd George and all his works at a
meeting held in London. The keynote Of the oc-
casion was struck by Viscount Gladstone who ac-
cepted title his great father persstenty refused,
and who said in his address as presiding officer:
Tonight we enter the lists and take the field
against Mr. Lloyd George and his coalition govern
ment"
A strong opposition is a necessity under any
system of popular government. The Liberal party
is the only nucleus for such an opposition in Eng
land Most unprejudiced observers are confident
that if an election were held next week the coali-
ton cabinet, which Mr.. Asquith assails because
Of it's liking for "expedents and experiments" and
which Lord Grey regards as intolerable because it
has fused political elements formerly irreconcil-
able, would be returned to power by handsome
majority.
However, the coalition principle cannot be ap-
piled indefinitely An end must come to it some
time And when it does come revival and
strengthened Liberal party may once more take up
the reins of government Mr.. Asquith and Lord
Grey have heavy task of reconstruction. But
they are not wanting in either ability or courage

THE GRIM REAPER

Deaths from alcohol last year were a half more
than in 1920
This is shown by thesrecords Of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company based on nearly
14000000 industrial policy holders
The alcoholic death rate will be higher for 1922
as whisky in synthetic form daily becomes more
poisonous, more fatal. Then it will drop off rap
idly. Fear the greatest of prohibition enforce
ment agents, more powerful than all rum sleuths
combined, will make America bone-dry, at least
in whisky.
The death rate among Americans in 1921 was
the lowest ever recorded averaging all causes,
says the insurance company. $685.
There were only II deaths for every 1000 popu-
lation, compared with rs in 1911
