school outside the state may NOT send
their ballots back to Kansas, Miss
Cove1 explained. The privilege -
voting anywhere only applies to the
national elections, she said. Many stu
dents who are attending colleges and
universities outside the state have the
impression they may vote in the KAN
sas election, but that is not true.
Registration to date has been light,
Miss Covell reports. Two Washburn
girls have registered so they may vote
for state officers without going home.
A large number of foreigners have
been registering. Aside from students

The city election is warming up
some. Up to this time there are in
Vulnerable candidates for alderman
but only two for mayor, Mr.. Bonhus,
the present incumbent, running for
reelection, and Mr. Moe running as
the opposition candidate. The Times
Record has been informed that there
is very liable to be third candidate
in the field between now and when
the time for filing petitions closes,
but we have been unable to run down
the rumor to get any real facts. Mr..
Bonhus is serving his first term as
mayor and we believe he has been a
conservative official and has tried to
give the city a good administration
and we think he has done so. Like
all men not endowed with divine wis
dom he may have made some mis-
takes, and if there is single man in
Valley City who has not made mis-
takes in his private or official life
let him stand up so that we can get
his picture and later on publish his
photo in this paper. Mr.. Moe was
mayor of the city for four years and
his record is so we'll known that at
this time it is unnecessary for us to
tell you about it. You have the two
candidates, you know them we'll, and
on the third day of April you voters
are to be the judges Of which one
YOU think will be the best for the
chief executive of the city.

The Independent republicans or ra-
Their what is termed the l. V. AS are
to hold a convention in Jamestown in
the near future at which time a COM
plete ticket will be nominated. The
United States senatorship will be the
big bone of contention but will no
doubt be settled satisfactorily to a
majority of the people who believe in
saner and more economical govern
ment. Senator McCumber is candl-
date for reelection but will not get a
look in at that convention in our judg-
ment. Two other men are mentioned
for the job who are now holding posi-
lions and have been in Office previous

wants to return to the senate, and

We believe they have the right idea
and that a good county fair in which
the farm boys and girls Of the coun-
ty can come in and compete for priz-
es along all lines will appeal to them
and to their parents. No farm boy
wants to come in and enter horse
race against imported jockeys who
do nothing but fix up the races be-
fore hand and no farm boy or girl
wants to compete with pure bred
stock exhibitors from the outside, but
they will compete with their own
neighbors and go into it whole-heart-
eddy. Ball games could be arranged
between various townships as well as
other sports and we are catering to
the broader vision of President Cow
ell and his co-workers to get up q
real Barnes county fair for Barnes
county people. If you are in favor
of this sort Of proposition the Times
Record would be only too glad to hear
from you. --'..- -. .-.~

That was the general admission and
it is the truth. The meeting was ad-
dressed by many Of the farmers of
the county who suggested various
remedies but the cold bare fact re-
NAMED after several hours of talk
that the school boards, the township
boards, the county boards and the
state boards were so bound up by a
lot of unnecessary laws creating bur-
eaus, commissions and boards, that
meant more and heavier taxes, that
it was found that the only remedy to
be derived from the excessive taxa
ton is to elect legislature that will
go to Bismarck and cut out a whole
lot of these laws creating an army
of employees and enormous expense.
The farmers of the county have a
Just kick along with the business men
on present conditions. At the meet
ing yesterday there was no acrimony,
but splendid spirit of cooperation
no particular party was blamed for
the trouble, each speaker trying and
succeeding in keeping harmony the
key note. The speakers admitted that
the people were just as much to blame
as those who held the offices for
these conditions, because they elected
them and allowed them to go on with
out a protest. It was the general
impression that there would be exer-
cised the strictest economy among
the town boards the coming year and
the farmers are going to the polls on
March Fl with that idea uppermost
in their minds. There is strong
feeling against any extensive road
building this year, and there is also
a feeling that the present law fixing
minimum teachers salaries should be
repealed, not because the wages are
too high, but if school districts can
not raise the money to pay teachers
what the law provides the districts
can get teachers for less to help out
under an emergency. Each speaker
admitted that the schools were the
bulwark of our national life and each
one said the salaries were not too
great. We rejoice at the splendid
feeling Of that meeting yesterday and
feel that the governors call for our
people to thresh out the problems of
taxation with a view to reducing tax
alton has brought about good results.
1t is not a question of party, but a
question of relief to those tax payers
who are at the end of their tether and
up against it. Let US all work for
better conditions for the whole peo-
pie as against special privileges for
the few. .s@-

WARRANTS ISSUED
FOR AUDITORS
Auditors Charged With Making False
Reports Of Fargo Bank. May
Charge Townley And Hastings
With Embezzlement.

Fargo, March 13-Warrants have
been issued for M. w. Thatcher, head
Of the Equitable Audit company, a
Twin City concern and O. E. Lofthus
Of Kloten, N. D., former state bank
examiner, charging them with per-
jury in regards to report on the con-
dition of the now defunct Scandina-
Wan American Bank of Fargo, in the
fall of 1919. This report was made
to the U. S. supreme court and re-
suited in the reopening of the bank at
ter it had been closed by order of for
mer Attorney General LANCER. The
bank operated until January, 1921
when it was permanently closed. An
nouncement of the issuance Of the
warrants was made by Assistant
States Attorney Wattam this morn
ing. This will make the seventh, Grim
inal suit in connection with this bank.
After the first closing warrants were
issued for the President, HI. Hagan
and Cashier P. R. Sherman. Frank
Heaton, teller, has completed a 30
day sentence for alleged embezzle-
ment and charges Of enabezzlement
are being prepared against J. J. Has
tings, former vice-president and A.
C. Townley, president of the nonpar-
tisan league. 49,. /.

FARMERS OF THE
| DISTRICT MEET
Meeting Held Saturday In City Hall
Very Poorly Attended. Several
Good Speeches.

The final meeting for Barnes coun-
ty in line with the work of Diversifi-
cation Week was held in the City
Hall here on Saturday. The meet
ing was very poorly attended, very
few farmers being present. =
Prof. Dice, head of the dairy de-
partment of the Agricultural College
at Fargo, was the principal speaker
for the afternoon and gave an inter
esting and instructive talk on dairy
cattle and the better methods of feed
ing and care. His talk was we'll worth
hearing and was of benefit to those
who heard him.
H. L. Larson, business man of
Fargo, spoke on the benefits to be
derived from silos and the feeding of
silage. Mr.. Larson is an authority
on the silo and he gave many inter
esting points on this phase of farm
life.
T. x. Calnan, county agent for
Barnes county, talked on Sweet
Clover and Alfalfa, telling Of the
better methods of raising these two
necessary feeds and their handling
for the best results in feeding.
The meeting was we'll worth while
and it is to be regretted that more
farmers did not take advantage of the
opportunity to hear the speeches as
they were all good and in addition to
being interesting, were decidedly in
structive. -~a-> -.

II
OUR COUNTY FAIR :

For the past few years our county
fair from a financial standpoint at
least, has been a failure, and in fact
the interest that the fair should have
from the farmers of the county has
not been what a county fair should
have. There is reason for this no
doubt, the supposition being that the
fair has not been a purely county in
stitution and the farmers of the
county have felt that they have not
had the larger place in the making Of
this fair. President Lee Cowell in
forms the Times Record that he and
his fellow officials and directors have
been giving the fair much thought
and study and they want to make it
real Barnes county institution. They
want the cooperation of the farmers
of Barnes county to put it over. They
are trying to devise plans for making
it such a fair as will appeal to all
the people of Barnes county. For in
stance, instead of spending hundreds
Of dollars in races and premiums to
outsiders who carry what money they
get away from the county, they want
to make this fair one that will inter-
est tie farm boys of the county as
we'll E 20 farmers. They figure that
man. 81 The farm boys will be glad
to ertcc, :.orscs for horse races for
the &c Il sport there is in it and would
be sa;sf ed with a blue ribbon for
the E!3.ey-tley are sportsmen
enough to go into it for the genuine
sport there is in it. Then on an
other day there could be some real
automobile races that would give the
people just as much excitement as
would a bunch Of fellows coming from
the outside whom nobody knows. Priz-
es for these could be offered by the
business men and we know that the
automobile fellows would get behind
this whole heartedly. Then the war;
ious townships Of the county could
put on a carnival, each township could
have its own tent and get up some
stunt, charging nominal fee, and
would provide ample and wholesome
amusements that beat the rough stuff
we get from carnival companies all
to pieces. The whole county would
thus become interested and would
come in. Then the stock and grain
raisers of the county could bring in
their stock and grain exhibits and be
content with nominal prizes - the
main object being a friendly and com
petitive competition along these lines.
There are numerous ways we could
make successful and profitable fair
solely for Barnes county people. The
fair officials have been giving this
matter deep study Of late because they
know that they cannot put on a fair
this year as has been done in the
past and they would like to get some
expressions Of opinion in the matter.

Another chapter in the McCumber-
Mckenzie alignment in this state has
been written in Washington. Presi-
dent Harding has sent the name OF
Jim Shea, of Wahpeton, to the senate
as the nominee for United States mar
shall for the district of North Dakota.
In the meantime Mr.. Doyle has not
resigned and we hope he will not re-
sign. Mr.. Doyle has been square with
the people of North Dakota and IS
entitled to hold his office until the
expiration of his term Of office. But
that is part of machine political pol
itics and as long as the world endures
and we have political parties we pre-
sumo political pull rather than eftlc-
iency will be the guiding rule.

search of gold and other valuable
minerals as soon as the weather opens
up.

on the Contact group Of gold pro-
perties on Copper Lake, has been here
looking over other prospects.
Mr.. Gordon said the other big COM
panies operating in The Pas district
include the Hollinger, which is expect
ed to have IS men at work on the
Murray property, on Elbow Lake,
this spring.
The mining corporation Of Canada
has taken over the Film Flon copper

an avowed candidate but is in very
receptive mood and if the convention
should happen to think that he would
be the man to lick McCumber he would
take it. Then if the convention could
not get together on either of them
we have our Senator Frank Ployhar,
who would make just as good a sena-
tor as any Of them, and would make

state and has many friends all over.
He has made them during his sixteen

UNDERWOOD TALKS
ON PACIFIC TREATY
Democratic Leader Fights For Four
Power Pacific Treaty In Senate.

Washington, March 11.-"Defeat of
the four power pacific treaty would be
backward step in the life of this ma
tion," Senator Underwood of Alaba-
ma, asserted in a speech to the SEN
ate today.
Underwood, leader of the democra-
tic party in the senate and member
of the American delegation to the
arms conference, signed the treaty
and is understood to be in the fight
for it's ratification. His speech was
intended to swing democrats to sup
port the treaty. ~.
"If the senate ratifes the treaty"
Underwood said, II am fully satisfied
that there will disappear not only all
causes for war but that there will
not longer exist the opportunity for
war that has threatened us in the
past two decades"
Underwood declared the criticism
of the treaty was based on it's inclu-
sion of only four powers, it lacks
force because the four powers that
signed it are the only ones capable
of disturbing the peace Of the Orient
within the next ten years, - the life
of the treaty. 49,
Germany is down and out for at
least the next half century and all
forms of government is destroyed in
Russia" Underwood said. II + ;
(Copywrighted 1922 by, United Press
The four power pacific treaty was
framed around the arms conference
table from drafts submitted by Secre-
tary of State Hughes, Arthur j. Bal
four, and Ambassador Shidihera OF
Japan. 1t is composite picture OF
the drafts presented by the leaders.
No one man wrote the pact as has
been charged in the senate. Although
the treaty is in its final form, it more
nearly resembles the draft prepared
nv Shidihera. It's formation was
prompted by the Anglo Japanese sug-
gestions that a new treaty be drawn
to replace the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance.
The above is the answer to the ques-
ton of "who wrote the four power
pact''-now the center of stormy
debate in congress which trends to
menace ratification of the treaty. This
is based on information obtained when
the United Press exclusively gave
America the first news that the treaty
had been framed and approved by the
big three and on other information.

Six years ago North Dakota was
in debt approximately three hundred
thousand dollars. Today the state is
in debt some fourteen million dollars
and it would be the height of folly to
saw that we can spend money with
such reckless abandon and not have
to nav increased taxes. The SINKING
fund on this enormous debt to pay
interest alone will be a big sum and
for the next twenty years no matter
how much we reduce expenses at BIS
marck and in the county, we Will
have heavy taxes to pay. We are now
paying the piper for an lrredescent
and visionary dream. However, the
solution of the whole problem is tor
us to send men to Bismarck who will
have the courage to swing the ak and
lon off a lot of the sores that are pol
luting the body polite.

It is rumored that the nonpartlsans
are to hold their county convention
in this city on Thursday of this week
at which time action will be taken to
select or endorse candidates for the
legislature from the fifteenth and
thirtv-eighth district In the thirty
eighth district there is to be SEN
ator and representative to be elected,
Senator Noltimier's term expiring,
and it is currently reported that Mr..
Noltimier will not again be candl-
date although we have nothing offlc-
ial about it from him. In this case
if he should elect not to be candl-
date some live wire in that district
can have his seat. We have heard
the names of A. P Hanson and Sam
J. Aanddahl mentioned in this ca
pacity, but nothing official. In the
fifteenth district only a representa-
tive is to be selected and the names
of Ben Northrdge and P. r. Trub-
shaw have been placed before the
district voters and in due time the
merits and dement's of the two cam
didates will be placed before the vot-
ers. The political outlook appears to
Indicate a most lively time.
