TAXPAYERS PAY UP WELL

Bismarck, N. D.,-The taxpayers
of North Dakota are paying their
bills pretty well, according to figures
made public by John Steen, treas
urer. His figures show that 96.7
per cent of the taxes Of 1919 have
been paid and s5.s per cent Of the
1920 taxes.
The tabulation follows: 1919 levy
for state purposes levy $2,594,179;
collections $2,609, i 1897, percentage,
.957; 1920 levy 81 ,566, ,655; collec-

While taxes for 1921 are consid-
erably III arrears the statement in
dicates that there is little likelihood
of much property being abandoned.
Taxing officials usually figure on five

JACK HASTINGS HELD
IN CAL.

After dropping from sight
for several weeks immediate.
ly following his arrest for
embezzlement in connection
with the Scandinavian Am
erican Bank affairs, Jack
Hastings has given himself
up at Sacramento, Cal, and
has announced that he will
fight extradition to North
Dakota to stand trial. He
states that he was author
ized by the bank to make a
donation of $4,000 to the
Nonpartisan League. How
ever, the loan was actually
made to the alleged Sisal
Trust, which had not yet
then been organized. Fur
ther, to have donated $4,000
by the bank to the league
would in itself have been q
crime. Assistant Attorney
General. George Shafer has
left for California to secure
the extradition from the gov
ernor Of that state.
Hastings explains his dis
appearance on the ground
that his business associates
deemed that it would be wise
for him to AVOID arrest for a
while by dropping out of
sight. I

TOTTEN AND CAHILL TO CO
Governor NestOs Has Demanded Their
Resignation and Will File
Charges If They Refuse

7 Demand for the resignation of ] !.
I. Cahill and George B. Totten, mem
bers of the state board of admin
stration, charged with the manage
ment of the educational, penal and
charitable institutions of the state,
has been made by Governor R. A.
Nestos. ~
Unless the designations are forth.
coming formal charges will be filed
against the two men, hearing held
and removal made Dy the Governor
if held justified.
I Governor Nestos declined to make
public the detailed charges against
the board members, but it was
learned that they will be charged
with misconduct, malfeasance and
misdemeanors in office" if formal
charges are fled
The basis of the charges against
the board members is understood to
be in part based upon contracts let
for supplies for the various state
institutions, it having been alleged
in reports to the governor that the
states interest has not been con-
cerned in the letting of contracts,
some of which have been let to the
highest bidders. Higher prices have
been paid for supplies than is held
necessary, it is charged, and "gross
incompetence" will be charged.
No answer was given to the de-
mand to resign but it has been re-
ported that the two board members
expecting to be removed, have en-
gagged legal counsel in advance.
Governor Nestos has previously
stated that he would not undertake
any removal proceedings Of any Non
partisan or other officer Of the for
mer administration that was not am
ply justified and where the evidence
would not stand the. test of the
courts. His action in demanding the
designations is taken 70 mean that
the executive believes he, has ample
grounds for demanding the removal.
GovernoE's Positisa
There were reports in capitol cir
cles that evidence had been submit
ted to Governor Nestos and request
made for removal Of several Office
holders, including two members Of
the fish and game conmission.

begin any removal proceedings un.

STATE INDUSTRIES SHOW LOSS

North Dakota's experiment in state
owned state-operated industries, cost
$641, ,O41.52, between July l, 1919 and
Dec. 81, 1921, according to compila-
tion made by Lewis F. Crawford,
secretary of the industrial commits
sion, in the annual report of the COM
mission submitted to the secretary
)of state.
There has been loss in the operation
of the Bank of North Dakota, the
Home Builders association and the
Drake flour mill, according to Mr..
Crawford's report.
The losses, particularly that Of the
Bank of North Dakota and the Home
Builders association will be much
greater than the figures given above,
Mr.. Crawford asserts. The audit Of
the Bank of North Dakota, now be-
ing made by the Bishop, Brissman
& company, will undoubtedly result
in the charging of Of huge sums
in bad loans and in money held in
defunct banks, he says, and the re-
fusal Of practically every person for
whom home was built under the
Home Builders association law to pay
for his house at the price it cost to
build, will increase the loss of that
department.

themselves practically stranded as a
result Of the conditions resulting from
last seasons dronth. i..3
All parts Of the county were repre-
scented and many persons were called
upon to present their views as to the
steps that should be taken. It was
universally admitted that certain
parts Of the county are in serious
circumstances and, unless help was
forthcoming from some source; many
would not have horses with which to
do their seeding nor seed with which
to put in crop, and would even be
unable to retain q few milch COWS to
provide for their daily wants. Some
were of the impression that it was
each mans own job to look out for
himself, and, that If he couldn't feed
his stock they should be allowed to
die. Some thought it was up to the
local banks to handle the situation. !:
Others felt that the conditions were
SO critical that help must be provid-
ed, all Of course insisting that the
county must be protected against any
thing more than normal loss.
The banks Of the county have had
an uphill fight for q long time past.
They have been forced to extend cred
it to their patrons in order that they
might be kept on their FERNS. Many
Of the bankers present frankly admit
ted that they had gone about as fa.
as they could, and that it would be
absolutely imposs7l..e for them to
handle the future situation alone.
