that the work will be started within
a few days.
In addition it is planned to beautify
the entrance 10 Park avenue on
Peninsula drive with an ornamental
gateway, such as is seen at the King
estate. and flowers, shrubs and tropi-
cal trees will be laid out on the ave-
nue to make it a garden spot
Mr.. Schuite's river front home is
just south OF the property owned BY
Congressman J. ]. Kindred. OF New
York, who has just recently written
III his intentions to start the building
OF his residence there this Spring.
Next tn Congressman Kindred is
the pro3erty OF Senator l.. s. Sher-

Schultes estate on the south is c. NJ
Rogers property. with river frontage
of 200 feet. and where he will erect a
beautiful permanent home.
The large list of prominent people
who are numbered among owners OF
choice home sites in Schultz Park Is
positive indication of the greatest
future for this particular section OF
the peninsula. These latest building
plans OF AIR. Schultz and others will
start development program which
i'll grow in momentum as other real
es,tate values increase in all sections
Of the Halifax country.

OPPORTUNITY FOR
EQUALIZATION BOARD


The State Board of Equalization
consisting of the governor, the in
surancs commissioner, the state
treasurer, the attorney general and
the commissioner of agriculture and
labor will hold a most important
meeting in the month Of August.
The board is in control of the In
dependents this year, the first time
since the League took over the ad-
ministration of the states affairs.
This opportunity will no doubt be
seized upon by the Board of Equaliza-
ton to carry out as far as possible
the wishes of the tax payers of the
state, in regard to reduction of taxes
thru the process of equalizing values
of various kinds of property. Already
hearings have been announced for
certain railroad companies: telegraph
and telephone companies and on Au
gust Is and 16 the board will meet to
consider questions and classifications
Of real and personal property, owned
by the residents Of the state and by
private individuals.
It is claimed that measure of re-
lief can be had by reduction of as
sessments 20, 80 or 40 percent.
In 1919 real property in the state
was assessed at three times its for
mer valuation and the league state
board added about 40 per cent, max
ing the average assessment nearly 5
times that of any former year. That
rate of assessment was continued in
1920 and 1921. The tax levies were
boosted the same as the assessments
and the other tax paying boards adj
ded their boost to the tax levied on
valuations. The idea of the League
experts in taxation matters was to
squeeze, get all they could while the
getting was good.
The people of the state elected to
change this program and the new
board of equalization will no doubt
be guided by the sentiment in the re-
call, and will profit by the experience
of the former administration. OF
course certain present conditions
where debts have been incurred, and
contracts made, will have to be con-
sidered, but the board has a chance
to show it's intentions for the welfare
of the tax burdened people of the
state.-Alert.

NO ACTION

The Nonpartisans gathered at Bis
marck last Saturday and there res
tored A. C. Townley to the saddle of
their organization, with orders to
raise the money to pay off past due
checks, notes, etc., and get new men,
bers. Townley will not have the walk
away in this matter that he had in
previous years for the League in
clined farmers have had their eyes
opened to him and the class of men
that he appointed to run League af-
fairs. Eight and six and four years
ago he had but to speak and the far
mers opened their Golfers wide and
allowed him to dip freely. Today it
will be different, for during his years
at the helm, he did nothing but ruin
the state credit and squander money
all the time doing nothing towards re-
deeming promises he made to the far
mers, when they first rallied at his
call. Gov. Nestos during his eight
months at Bismarck has done more to
carrying out the planks of the League
program than Townley and Frazier
did in six years. There was nothing
done about placing an Independent
League ticket in the field this fall,
the action of such kind being left to
a committee, which will function in
few weeks. Had any action been TAX
en- that day, it is a cinch that Bill
LANCER would have been the standard
bearer of the farmers for his name
was on every lip and uppermost in
every mind The committee appoint
ed to decide upon a ticket is unani-
nous that if the ticket be named, that
the former attorney general be the
leader Of the forces.-Tower CITY

The remaining 20 percent goes to

If Mr.. Townley's organizers. there
fore, should be successful in signing
up $4,000 members in North Dakota,
they would collect $375,000 Of which
only $4,000 would go to state head
quarters. The organizers themselves
would receive $15O,00O, or three times
as much as would filter through to
the league treasury; Mr.. Townley's
newspapers would get $150,000; and
national headquarters would get $685.
900.
Of course it isn't quite as rich pick
ing as the Old Consumers Store game
and the banks and the newspapers, or
"shakedown" meetings, but in these
days 100000 isn't to be sneezed at.
Just what the farmers will receive
in return for this money isn't quite
clear from past experiences. Possibly
all they will get will be the privilege
of subscribing again next year, or
possibly they will be permitted to de-
post their money in another Scandi-
navian American bank and purchase
stock in some more Consumers stores

WHERE is THE BENEFIT?

If the money dissipated by the
Nonpartisan state officials in the
homebuilders' department had actual
ly been used to build houses, it would
have been almost sufficient to build
the so houses that were erected, and
permit the state to make present
of them to their occupants.
Almost enough money was squan-
dered and wasted by the officials of
the department in exorbitant and use
less "overhead" costs, and in the pur-
chase of surplus supplies at "peak"
prices to build the so houses.
That is the condition that is being
shown up by the trial now in progress
at Bismarck.
Nor is this an isolated or unusual
example of the failure of the state in
industry.
1t is admitted that the Nonpartisan
league has 100000 in postdated
checks which are virtually worthless.
These uncashed checks represent
merely the "leavings" of the checks
that have gone through the league
hands. What was the reason for col
lecting all this money amounting to
several millions? Wasn't it to put
into effect the farmers program"
consisting Of stateowned mill and
elevator? Yet if the money so COL
lected from the farmers had been used
to erect a mill and elevator it would
have been completed and paid for by
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-07-27

this time and the farmers would own
it themselves, instead of the taxpay-
ers of the state still having it to pay
for.
And what benefits have we to show
for these enterprises? Did the home
builders project provide cheaper
houses? 1t certainly did not, for the
purchasers are refusing to take these
houses now at the price the state fix
ed, claiming the price is from $1,000
to $4,000 in excess of what it should
have been and in excess of what the
houses would have cost if built by pri-
Ivate contractors.
And will the state flour mill and
elevator increase the price of wheat
by one penny or decrease the cost of
flour to the consumer? Nobody is so
foolish as to argue that now, in the
face of the experience of the state
with the Drake mill. No sensible con-
sumner expects to save one penny on
the cost of flour, and no sensible far
mer expects that the state will af-
feet the price of wheat one iota.
The time is coming when the tax
payers Of the state will begin to ask
themselves: "Where is the benefit ?"
When that time comes, the state in
dustries will be disposed Of in the
most feasible way and we will charge
up the losses to experience.
"Turn the key in the door" of the
bank, wind up he homebuildters' de-
partment, sell the creamery and the
Drake mill, and turn the Grand Forks
mill over to some strong farmers or
ganization" is just as good advice to-
day as it ever was, and sooner or lat
ter the majority of the voters of the
state will come to feel that way about
it.-Forum.

The independent forces of the state
held conference in Fargo yesterday
afternoon to determine plan of ac-
ton for the fall campaign. The meet
ing was called to consider the advis-
ability of placing a complete fusion
ticket in the field this fall and after
the matter was debated for several
hours a plan of action was agreed
upon by the l. V. A., democrats and
republicans. 1t was jointly agreed
that J. F. T. O'Connor would be sup
ported for the United States senator
ship, that the democratic candidates
for state auditor, commissioner of in
surance and three railroad commits
sioners would be endorsed and three
members of the supreme court. The
latter were not selected at this meet
ing yesterday. The general outlook
for electing the entire fusion ticket
was considered very bright from the
reports received from the various del
egates present and they came from
all over the state. A real campaign
is to be put on and from now on I'M
til the polls close on election day there
will be action all along the line. There
was fine spirit of unity between the
democrats and republicans and the
same working agreement that existed
between the two dominant parties in
the past two or three campaigns will
be carried on during the campaign
now at hand. A unanimous vote of
confidence was extended to Theo G..
Nelson, l. V. A. manager, who wanted
to resign to let some other person
take up the white mans burdens. The
conference refused to let Mr.. Nelson
resign and upon standing vote he
was unanimously commended for his
good work in the past and the confer
ence pledged itself to help him work
out the plans for the coming fight.
There has been some criticism of Mr..
Nelson by some about his work
mostly by those who really did not
keep in close touch of what he was
doing, and he so stated to the confer
ence and wanted to be let out, but the
gathering passed resolutions endors-
ing his work and asked him to stick
on the job-and he is some sticker the
other fellows have found out.

81 am thoroughly familiar with all
the arguments concerning the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project
and l am heartily in favor of it pro-
viding the engineering can be accom-
plished at the cost estimated", said
DR.. j. L. Coulter, president of the N
D. Agricultural College, recently in
commenting upon recent progress in
the campaign for the project. "The
engineering parties who have made
the estimates are reliable engineering
companies and l am confident it is
possible to build the waterway, said
Of. Coulter. "Parties in New York
and some of the railroads in Canada
have been working to defeat the pro-
ject and one of their arguments is
that it is an impossibility to build the
canal. Either transportation costs
must lower levels or we must begin a
process of national decentralization on
which will build up new centers of in
dustry located relatively close to CEN
ters of basic production, stated Cap
E. Miller, farm economist at the Agri-
cultural College. Zone of the fore
most projects leading to the reduc-
ton in transportation costs is the
Great Lakes Waterway. Authorities
say that the Improvement through
lower transportation costs will in
crease the price of grain on our farms
from SC to 10c per bushel.'

! The nonpartisan league faction have
captured the republican organization
of the state. In this connection it
might be well to ask what does it
matter. 1t does not stand for any,
thing. The nonpartisans are making
plea for the republicans to support
Frazier for senator while they are 60
ing around with knife in their boots
to stick into the backs of republican
nominees that do not agree with them
politically. In several counties of the
state resolutions were introduced at
the organization meetings of the re.
publicans controlled by leaguers ask
ing them to support the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. They :e-
fused to do this because they expect
to go out and knife all legislative
candidates who do not agree with their
viewpoint. What is the use of cover
ing up the bald facts. The leaguers
know we'll that they will not stand for
any republican nominee that will not
line up with the Townley organization
and they know full well that the re-
publicans nominated at Che primaries
by the independents will not support
the Townley program-and there you
are. There is no such thing as getting
together by these two factions of tie
republican party and the result will
be just as it has always been, there
will be another real republican state
ticket formed and operated as in the
past and no recognition will be taken
of the Townley bunch who have Sc
cured control. 1t is going to be
fight to the finish to clean up the
Townley bunch that have put this
state in bad and we rather think that
the cleanup will be made most effec-
tive at the November election.

The Barnes County Implement Co.
has. decided to keep their place of
business open until ten o'clock in the
evening until after the harvest rush
is over. This strikes us as being a
good idea. During the fall months it
is impossible for the farmers to get
to town during the day and they must,
of necessity, come in during the eve
ming to do their shopping. Under the
present arrangement the stores of he
city close at $50 and any farmer
who comes to town during the eve
ming is unable to get supplies that he
needs. Why cannot the merchants
show little of the spirit of accom-
mediation and keep the stores open
later in the evenings during the busy
saeson? Complaints, and reasonable
complaints, have been freque1tly
made on the system of early closing
in the fall and it would seem to US
that later closing would appeal to the
farmer and show them that the mer-
chant was anxious to please his GUS
toners.

ty. Mr.. Kane has resigned and soon
another man will be placed at the

now that another head is to be Sc

learning that the board of admins
tration will pay less s<ention to pol

Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
is now having the fight of his life
for denomination to the senate from
Wisconsin. He was one of the yellow
streak fellows who voted against the
war, and his record along these lines
is hurting him like a sore thumb
down in his home state. But then the
senator has the endorsement of the
radical socialist party and so long as
he advocates and favors that class in
the United States senate he has a
mighty good chance of winning out.
Wisconsin is the home Of rank social
lists and radical labor advocates and
the senator has strong backing from
these forces.

The secret of success is organiza-
ton and then interest enough to at
tend to the business at hand. That is
what happened at the county conven-
ton yesterday afternoon when the
nonpartisan republicans of the coun-
ty went up to the courthouse and
romped off with the county organiza-
ton without fight just because they
had attended to the small details at
the primary election and elected pre-
cinct committeeman who functioned.
The independent republicans had elect
ed enough precinct committee men to
make an even break on organization
and to have majority in the fiji
teenth district but they fell asleep at
the switch, some of them-and paid
very little attention to the business at
hand, several elected not showing
enough interest to come to the meet
ing. That is why the opponents of
the independents always show up
strong at every election-they have
organization. The capturing of the
county committee is important as it
gives them control of the election ma
