CONTEST OF BUTTS
MAY Be POSTPONED
Indications are That State DEM
.ocratic Executive Committee,
Which Meets Today, Will Ad-
iorn to October 18th.

There is every probability that the
meeting of the State Democratic Elk.
ecutive Committee, which convenes
in Macon, today, will adjourn over
until October 2Sth, and of course, the
contest of Judge E. C. Butts will not
be heard.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
chances for postponement are strong,
the friends of the Brunswick candi-
date for judge of the superior court
of the, Brunswick circuit in the spri-
mary of September, have evidence
which they state will prove conclu-
sively that the election in Appling
carried a number of illegal features
and will submit this to the committee
in the event the session continues, re.
questing recounting of the votes of
Judge Highsmith's home county and
giving them a thorough canvassing.
1t is contended by the Glynn candi
date and his friends that he won by
223 votes over his nearest competitor,
who was Judge Highsmith.
The Appling candidate and present
comes back at the friends
Of Judge Butts by saying that irregu-
larities occurred in Glynn in the pri-
mary and the friends of Judge Butts
have made the proposition to have the
boxes opened, the votes canvassed
and abide by the result, of a legal
count. This Judge Highsmith's friends
decline to do and it will be up to the
state committee to rule nj the prem
ses.

Liederbach as a humorist but the
Forum points this trait in his char
acter in the the following editorial
comment on recent utterance of his.
When Mr.. Liederbach takes his
trusty typewriter in hand, strips for
action, and begins flaying his polit-
ical opponents, the result is more
amusing than awe inspiring.
For example, Mr.. Liederbach asks
of his pet enemy, Mr.. Maddox:
"Why don't you come out and
fight like regular Irishman,
instead of barking from behind
the skirts of the unseen?"
This reference to regular Irish

called everybody liar and traitor
for telling the truth, is now being
called the same names by the leag-
uers themselves because it has the
nerve and common decency to tell
the truth and let the chips fall where
they may. People are writing to the
en-. and slapping the editor for tell
ing the truth and while these writer's
admit that it is the truth the paper
is telling, they do not want him to
publish these facts because it will
split up the league. There is moth
ing very honest or aboveboard in
such an attitude as that. There is a
merry fight on to gain possession OF
the Courier News between the various
factions and when the convention
meets little later the Townley and
anti Townley punches will have lit
tie battle royal for control of the
official organ. The saddest thing
about the whole matter is that Town
ley, in the heyday of his might and
power, was considered almost to be
a supreme being by the radical leag-
uers. Now these same men and wo-
men, too, are trying to tear him apart
like a pack of wolves. How are the
mighty fallen.

BANKERS TAX
PAYMENT PLAN
IS ACCEPTED

Bankers of North Dakota will pay
several hundred thousand dollars in
to treasures in North Dakota that
they do not have to pay under re-
cent decision Of the supreme court.
The administration accepted the Of
fer Of the bankers to pay taxes for
the year 1920, 1921 and 1922 on their
stock, surplus and undivided profits
On the same basis Of the owner Of a
retail store or wholesale establish
ment pays. The tax amounts to
about 100000 for 1920, about $685.
900 for 1921 an dwould be consider
ably higher in 1922.
The action Of the bankers followed
decision of the supreme court hold
ing that the special session of the leg
islature in 1919 exempted stock in
banks from general taxation. With
this decision offering the opportun-
ity to escape taxation the executive
council of the North Dakota Bankers
Association decided, "that it was un-
fair for them to be exempt and that
they ought to bear their just share
of the burden of government Of the
state"
Bankers gathered from various
parts of the state yesterday to dis
cuss the matter and to offer to pay
the class two property tax, or on
the same basis of merchants and
other business men. This is in addit-
ion to the general property tax on
bank real estate.
The action will place many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars into

Recently a case was tried in Min
neapolis on which jury five women
and sew. en- men served. The jury was
out forty-eight hours and both sexes
agreed that never again would such
thing happen. The jury had to be
locked up together and everybody
knows what lot of discomfort must
have resulted under these trying cir
cumstances. Women had no priva-
cy neither did the men, and when it
came time to go to bed they had to
take pot luck and make the best of
it. 1t was embarrassing to say the
least. The men got into the further
corner of the room and turned their
faces to the wall while the women
made some sort of pretense of partly
disrobing and retiring. In doing so
they took the Sheets and spread them
across the foot of the bedstead and
thus made sort of screen, and in
the morning they got up and dressed
before it was light. The men slept
in their chairs and kept the night hid
eous by snoring and regular nasal
concert and to make the matter still
worse smoked and filled the room
with smoke, causing much annoyance
to the women. Can anybody with any
sense Of reason see. any good out OF
such an arrangement, and can any
body with any sense at all want to
have mixed juries. For our part we
are against any such proceedings.
The women wanted equal rights and
those women on that Minneapolis jul
ry got them-but they have been
cured of equal rights so far as jury
duties are concerned, and it is re-
ported that the officials say there
will be no more mixed juries.

LIGHT WINES AND BEER

The following from the Minneapo-
lis Journal of yesterday to our no
ton hits the nail on the head:
Because enforcement Of the Vol
stead Law is not one hundred per
cent perfect; the Executive Council
of the American Federation Of Labor
calls it moral failure and a danger
Gus breeder of discomfort. The Coun-
Gil urges all citizens to appeal to
Congress to legalize "wholesome
beers and light vines.
The argument is not sound. Re-
duced to it's simplest terms, the
Councils contention is that the law
should be repealed, because its en-
forcement is not perfect. On the
same line of argument, it might be
| urged that all laws furnishing crimes
should be repealed, because SO many
criminals break them. Of course, it
would follow that marriage should
be abolished, because there are sc
many divorces.
The conclusion does not follow
from the premise. Because a thing
does not work perfectly. abolish it
On this theory civilization would have
been done for long ago.
Perhaps the Labor Council wa!
thinking more of politics than O.
logic. Probably it is trying to MAKE
Eight wines and wholesome beer" ;
political issue in the Forthcoming
congressional campaign.
One need not be a Puritan to SCI
that to legalize wine and beer, un
der present conditions, would inevi
tally nullify the Eighteenth Amend
ment. The proposal is just bid fo1
votes, an entering wedge to bring
about the return of the saloon.
It can hardly be possible that tn
Council has gagged the mass mind O.
labor. 1t can hardly be possible tina
the rank and file of labor will b.
fooled by such a fallacy.
For the laboring man has profitet
most by prohibition. 1t has removed
a temptation and made it easier TO
him to live straight, to save hi
money, to stay on the job, or to ge
a good job. The part of the income
that once went to the saloon and tn
brewery, he has, in most instances
turned into more productive channels
of saving and investment.

FROM THE Pen OF
JUDGE ROBINSON
March 4, 1922
Bring the good old bugle boys,
Well sing another song, ~
Sing it as we used to sing it,
Twenty thousand strong" "

Twenty thousand voters are sign
ing for a measure to reduce by fifty
per cent the unpaid taxes Of the past
three years. OF course objections
are made by those who receive and
those who squander the taxes. It is
said that to cancel half the unpaid
taxes will mean that about $780,
100000 Of registered. hail warrants
will be worthless and several other
millions that may be registered will
also be worthless. To avoid any such
claim the measure expressly declares
las every one should know that "a
special assessment for hail insur-
ance, or any local improvement is
not a taxi, and it is not, in any man.
ner, affected by tax reduction. OF
course a general levy of three cents
an acre against all lands is tax
and it is not legal. If there might
be a levy of three cents an acre;
there might be levy of $500 an
acre. Now it is quite manifest that
during the past three years the as
sessments, and tax levies, were ruin
ously oppressive, unjust and illegal,
and any person who pays half the
tax levied against his lands does his
full duty regardless of the fact that
others may have done more than
their duty. Then it appears that
those taxes have been well protest
ed; at the special election in Towner
County, and at each subsequent gen.
eral election and the recall election,
the people protested and voted
against the excessive taxes. Now
if they do not sign up for reduced
taxes and vote for it at the primary
election you may call them dubs. OF
course we must look for howl from
those who receive and those who
squander he taxes. You can answer
them only by force of the ballot, or
in the way that Shylock was ans
wered when he insisted on the letter
of his bond. We have in the state
many little Shylocks, or tax receiv
ers, who insist on the letter of their
bond, even though it drive to ruin,
and drive out of the state, thousands
of good, worthy pioneer settlers
We need not argue to prove that the
tax reductions can do no injury to
any honest person. The eduction:
may for a short time, defer the pay
ment of some claims and it may not
defer any payment. It may save the
sheep that is lost. 1t may save half
the unpaid taxes Of nineteen and
twenty by giving hope and courage
to the pioneer settler and making it
possible for him to clear his land by
paying his just share of the taxes.
That will show that the people have
honesty and courage to undo a great
wrong. You cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time. They are not dubs.
Read the story Of Shylock and learn
how party may lose his wealth by
asserting an unjust claim.
