BANK TAX CASE. !.
CAN'T'BET TAKEN
TO U. SIS. ( COURT
C. C. Converse, However, Is Not
Ready to Concede That The
Case Would Be Dismissed

North Dakota's supreme court, in
handing down its recent opinion up
on the taxing of bank stock made i'm
possible the continuing of case be-
fore the United States Supreme Court
in which the taxes of the National
Banks in North Dakota are involved
for the year 1919. C. c. Converse, Tax
Commissioner was not ready to con-
cede that the case would be dismissed
but admitted that he did not feel that
the attorney general would be lucky in
attempting to collect taxes before the
United States Supreme court which
the supreme court of the state had
declared to be Illegally levied.
In its opinion, the North Dakota
supreme court held that the tax levies
for 1919 were illegal. These taxes
were paid by the state banks, but the
National Banks in North Dakota
fought the collection Of the levies in
the courts, where it is now pending
with good prospects that it will never
be brought to trial.

CUSTER CHARGE
STILL PENDING
IN CAHILL CASE
Will be Pressed II Courts Should
overturn Present With,
drawal, Reported

Custer charges against. J. I. Cahill,
because of his conduct asa member
OF the board of administration, have
not been dropped as result of the
declaration by the Governor that Ca
hill has forfeited his office through
failure to qualify, 1t was learned to-
day. Il.
If Mr.. Cahill should make a legal
fight and be successful in efforts to
retain his place on the question of
his. having failed to qualify, custer
proceedings will be instituted, and a
hearing held before the Governor.
The charges were held in allegiance
when it was found that Cahill had
not qualified.
The attitude, of Governor Nestos is
understood to be that neglect upon
the part of Cahlll in the. matter of
qualifying, especially in the matter of
exercising power over expenditure of
great sums of money without having
been bonded, justified immediate re-
moval, and would save the expense of
bringing witnesses from the various
state institutions to testify at what
might be long, drawn out hearing
dealing with the manner Of the boards
letting Of contracts, and other specific
charges against Cahill alone.
Appointment of successor~to Ca
hill has not been made but will. be
within few days, it is understood.

What action, if any, will be taken
in the case of R. T. Muir, who will be
the only Nonpartisan member of the
board, is uncertain. 1t is stated in

Dakota. That is how became read

ed. Like a lot of other women I
thought politics was mems business.
| did, because my dad always said:
"Women's place is at home cooking,
cleaning, mending socks, etc." Be-
sides, always found politics hard to
understand. Your recent article on
legislative terms was great help.
After got married, my husband read
to me from the National Leader (his
greatest pal, he used to call it).
Everything was so plain and full of
truth shat began to understand that
big thing called politics. Now I look
forward to the paper as much as he
does
Just read Mr.. Sinclair's article on
reviving the grain corporation. That
certainly will be great thing, and
am sure it can be done if only all the
farmers get behind it. ..>
The farmers sure have a hard time
making ends meet. The high cost of
living is fright and products that the
farmers raise worth little or nothing.
Last Thursday we attended Farm
Bureau meeting here at Fairmead.
Some things about them are right, but
they don't seem to make much head
way. I agree with the article printed
some time ago in the Leader, entitled
"What is Wrong With the Farm Bu-
reau?"' One speaker at the Farm Bu-
reau said: "Whenever it looks like
ends are going to meet someone will
pull those ends apart"
. I surely believe if we stick to the
League we will win and make ends
meet-also lap over a little.

SHOWS UP WALLACE
Brantford, N. D.

Editor National Leader: What do
you think of man like Wallace, our
secretary of agriculture, who is going
to force the farmers to go on strike
and produce less corn and grain, when
all Europe is starving and begging
for all the grain we can spare, and
thousands, yes, millions in our own
country, are starving? May I ask
who are the farmers going to strike
against? Are they going to strike
against God? Because He so richly
blessed their work last year and gave
them more than they can sell? What
they have sold they had to sell at a
loss, so that hundreds of farmers are
burning their corn in place of COAL
But did you ever hear of a man going
on a strike because he is getting too
much?
If God gave us an abundance last
year, how does Mr.. Wallace know that
we will get anything this year? He
wants the farmers to cut the acreage
25 per cent. That means it will take
Is per cen: less help on the farm this
year, and that would mean Is per cent
more in the bread lines. How would
it encourage people who have been
planning to leave the cities and go on
farms, when they learn from our
great secretary of agriculture that
there is an o7erproduction now?
Would it not discourage those who
have planned to go on farms?
Now, I don't know what you think

TRUTH AND HARMONY"

Editor National Leader: We are
pleased to have it again demonstrated
in North Dakota that her sturdy sons
of toll will rally when their Nonparti-
san league program is threatened.
For truth and justice we are contend
ing, and all else that steps in the path
of harmony must give way or take
the consequences. For myself, I know
not who to blame that mistrust crept
in and destroyed all harmony among
our leaders. In an assembly where
truth is sought for, it is imperative
that all be heard
= When we read in the .Courier-News
that A. C. Townley was denied the
right of speech before the delegates,
the thought came, can it be possible
that we have sent those, to represent
US who will not listen to the one whom
we always gave heed when he points
the way? But wise counsel prevailed
and the next day A. C. spoke, human
beings listened, the minority became
the majority, reason enthroned, pro-
gram sustained, and "a. c." steps
aside for little while, to give the
rank and file chance to show their
mettle.
We opine we will again listen with
eyes open, brain alert, when "a. c."
speaks. He has pointed the way to
justice for all time for those who labor
and the sooner we realize that, by our
own incentive and exertion only, can
we attain that for which we strive.
If we were possessed of the power to
lead the toiling millions with a cotton
thread say if we could lead those
toilers Ito truth and justice without
breaking this yarn, I would not do it.
Simply for this reason: If we are so
docile, we would be as easily led there
from, but by our own endeavor we will
retain that which rightfully belongs
to all, and will be free. The house is
swept, the program is the goal. The
battle has begun. Let our battle cry
be truth and justice. We will stick
and win only by our own efforts and
community cooperation.

THE REAL PROFITEERS

Editor National Leader: Allow
me to give a fair, true picture of
the profiteering in all it's different
branches. The working farmers and
unskilled labor (six million farmers
are working for less wages than un-
skilled labor) are bearing all the bur-
dens and robberies of our county
courthouse rings, statehouse rings,
Washington ID. C.) rings, political
combines, chambers of commerce,
price fixing, one thousand small and
great trusts, and the absolute rule Of
the big per cent. I mean five men
out of each one hundred are the only
men inside of all these rings and COM
bines. They are really our big soul
less profteers and our real county,
It is Republican and Democratic BIZ
partisan combine, and these men are
working day and night with real
purpose or program to absorb, take
control Of, all the property in our ma
tion that these six million farmers,
small business men and homeowners
now own.
Our big leading farm journals
blame all the proiteering on union la
bor and an army Of small middlemen.
I am a longtime reader of our lead
ing farm journals, but none of them
blame the combines I have named
here as the men who have really
robbed the farmers. Big business has
been taking from farmers from $1.50
to So for one dollar in value, but they
are honest men as compared to Illi-
nois lawmakers, who are every year
taking $50 for every one they give in
service. E
My state has five men on one job
and one weeks salary for one game
warden is more money than the av-
erage southern Illinois farmer makes
clear for whole years work by him.

would be great change for the bet

the whole industry. Bankrupt the

This is the first time that a small
car of the popular type has been
cast for a hero's role in a film.
Ordinarily it is the big powerful
machine that gets in the limelight.
But here we have the Dent car with

and playing a big role in drama
of love and business. Wally didn't
know much about the type of car
be had to drive, but he learned
quickly. He's used the big power
full motors, and at first the little
car seemed like toy to him. But
he found that it could make about
IS miles an hour, and then he be-
gan to like it.
Walter Long, Lucien Littlefield
and Betty Francisco play a family
of villains-father, son and daugh-

the rival faction in the cross-con-

Seeing the progress of the little
car, the INSCRIPTIONS rival manu-
facturer, through his agents, re-

the little car in its dash across the
