COAL PRICES
SLUMP DUE

Expectation of Operators to
, Recoup Losses in Strike
i Fails to Materialize
REDUCTIONS REPORTED
North Dakota Ignite Mines
/ Big Factor in Keeping
Costs Down
(By the Associated Press)

/ Chicago, Nov. 22.-Expectation
that some coal operators would re-
coup their losses in the recent coal
strike through increased prices-a
belief given wide publicity at the
!: end of the strike when one or two
!! operators were quoted to that ef-
feet, has failed TO materialize, ac-
|. cording to a survey of fuel condl-
!, tions based on statements of state
fuel and railway commission Qttlci-
ais and coal operators in middle
/ [Iwestern states. -
| The wide publicity combined with
an unusually warm autumn, dlscour-
aged buying by domestic consumers
to such an extent that there has
been noticeable drop in many
states. This is particularly noted
in those coal producing areas where
freight rates for shart hauls are not
major factory in, setting the retail
price.
\ Typical of the general trend, ac-
cording to Robert Midell, state fuel
administrator of Illinois, are prices
at the central Illinois mines. I'm
mediately after the strike the oper-
ators quoted screenings, their
lowest grade coal, at from $3.25 to
$3.75 at the pit mouth. Last week
central Illinois screenings were o.
fered as low as .$1.50 and in spite
! of the reduction the mines are un-
able to book enough orders to aver
Eage so percent production. .
h Similar price reductions are re-
ported from several states. In
Kansas dealers are selling coal at
| one to two dollars under last years
| prices. Indiana, Missouri, and other
states report lower prices. i =.

CASE WILL GO
Z TO KIDDER CO,
Supreme Court Affirms Dis
trict Court in Order Send
ing it There

Cases against John H. Bloom,
former chairman of the state fish
and game commission; George M.
Hogue, secretary Of the board, and
Lee C. Pettibone OF Dawson, swill be
heard in Steele, Kidder county, un-
der decision of the supreme court
today, sustaining change Of venue Of
the case from Cass county under
order of District Judge Cole, on
petitions Of defendants.
The case was instituted by At
torney- General Johnson, and is an
action to set aside and cancel a pur-
chase and deed of 1860 acres Of land
in Kidder county bought for a game
preserve on the grounds of fraud
and conspiracy, and to recover from
the defendants $4,000, the purchase
price. .r~
The defendants application for
change Of venue was on the ground
that none of the defendants lived in
Cass county, that two Of them resid-
ed in Kidder county, the land is
there and most of the witnesses in
that county.
The state appealed from Judge
Coles order denying a motion to
vacate his order for the change.
The state contended that the ex-
parte order of July II, 1922, was in
valid, for the reason that the defen-
dents never made any demand in
writing for change of venue i'm ac-
cordance with the statute, and with
out notice to the state so that it
might appear and contest the order.
The supreme court opinion states
that "in our opinion it was errorous
for the trial court to grant a hear
ing to the defendants without notice
to the plaintiff: But upon the
motion to vacate the order of the
court the plaintiff did not contro-
verse in any manner, the residence
Of defendants as claimed in the ap-
plication and affidavit for a change
Of venue. Upon such motion to
vacate where an opportunity was af-
forded to make showing it must be
made" The defendants were re-
presented by William Lmke.

APPEALS MADE
FOR HARDC0AL
Some North Dakota Points
Make Requests
(RY the Associated Press.


St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 22.-Appeals
for hard coal have been received
from Lake Linden, Mich, and Deperc,
Wis, docks and advices state that
thees two points have received no
hard coal since the resumption of
mining activities, C. P. White, north
west federal fuel distributor, said
today. ....
The two points, the distributor
said, must for the most part rely
upon cargo shipments of anthracite,
and as result every effort will be
made to get a couple of cargoes to
each point before the close Of naviga-
tion.
Both points need approximately
10000 tons each or two small cargoes,
he said.
Requests for anthracite have also
been received from several stations
in South Dakota, which advised they
have no hard coal on hand, and
Unless shipment is made at once,
consumers will suffer. These points
are Lesterville, Tyndall, Webster and
Nollin.
Several requests also were rece'v-
ed Tuesday from points in North
Dakota and Minnesota.

GIRL ARRIVES
IN BISMARCK
FROM GERMANY
Niece of Paul Gaschk Says
America Is Now a Virtual
Fairyland

America is a virtual fairyland to
one wearied with living in. war-torn
Germany and in the present dismal
afterthe-war period, Miss Lydia
Gaschk, niece of Paul Gaschk, ALB
Seventh street, who has arrived here
for a protracted visit. ~.
Americans a.live like kings, she
said while in Germany most people
working people live on dark bread
and potatoes, few can afford vege-
tables and only the rich can afford
butter. Miss Gaschk spoke feeling
ly of the conditions, although her
father is engaged in the store busi-
ness, handling foodstuffs and other
comm odities, and in normal times
would be we'll to do and now fares
better than many.
Miss Gaschk. came from Sensborg,
town of about 1000 people in East
Prussia, not far from the Russian
line. During the war the Russians
twice took the town and burned
many buildings. Her father served
four years in the war and then re-
turned to his business.
The high cost of living was the
burden of most of Miss Gaschk's re-
marks to her uncle. At times the
price of an article will be raised
several times within the short space
of an hour, she said. The working
peopla are in most cases without
sufficient clothing and can scarcely
make ends meet. IT,.
But, as she interpreted the feel
ing, the Germans do not harbor any
love for the Kaiser and do not want
to see the monarchy come back.
There is resentment against the
present government because of the
conditions and there is feeling
that a great upheaval may take
place, she indicated. There is a
great host of government officers
and employees, who seem to pry into
all the activities of people, she said.
Schools are held but three or four
hours a day, and the discipline is
poor.
A brother, William, 1s, started
with her to America, but was sent
back by the United States immigra-
tioh officers. The deportation was
due, Mr.. Gaschk said, to misunder-
standing of the answers the boy
made to many questions. Mr.. Gaschk
is endeavoring through authorities
to have the boy brought back again.

Doubt if Much Mail of
Value Was Stolen
DRIVER MADE PRISONER
(By the Associated Press)

tby the Associated PreSs)
Chicago, Nov. 22.-Six bandits held
up post office motor truck carry
ing air mail to Checkerb oard field
for the morning flight to Omaha,
kidnapped the driver and escaped with
the truck containing 16 pouches CT
bAsiness mail. The value of the mail
has not been ascertained, but postal
officials were of the beliefit would
not be large.
The robbers were armed and rode
in large touring car in which they
drove off with VIM. Hogan, the truck
driver, a prisoner, while two of their
number made away with the truck.
Postal inspectors expressed the
belief that the robbers had intended
to intercept truck carrying valu-
al mail under heavy guard, which
leaves the central post office daily
a short time after the air mail truck
departs.\
Later Hogan was elected from the
car several miles from the scene of
the holdup, he said, and Immediately
telephoned to the postoffice.
The registry division of the post
office announced that no registered
mail was in the truck, most of that
class of mail being carried by trains
and not by plane. Ths railway mail
division, which has general supervi-
sion over the air mail, announced
that 16 pouches weighing 450 pounds
and consisting chiefly of business
mail, and not believed to contain
matter, of high value, such as securi-
ties or currency, had been stolen.
!. The stolen truck later was found
about q mile from the place Of the
holdup. The mail pouches had been
taken by the bandits.

STATE MAKES
PR0GRESSIN
TAKING LAWS
Commissioner Reports Some
Betterments Are
Obtained

Some progress has been made in
taxing methods declares State Tax
Commissioner C. c. Converse in his
annual report to Governor R. A.
Nestos. The present methods,
however probably will be improved
upon in the years to come, he indi-
Gates. "11i ,s,
"No one has ever been able to de-
wise a satisfactory system Of taxa
ton, "he states in his Introduction to
the subject of general property tax.
Legislators through the centuries
have endeavored to do so but with
out a satisfying measure of success.
Publics have devoted volumes to
the problems of taxation, and sue
cessive generation of students have
wrestled with the subject. Each era
brings with it new problems, and
the attempt to devise a better sys-
tenn of taxation continues to be q
difficult and important task. Some
progress has, however, been achiev-
ed. Consider for moment, an an
cient practice in which the king sold
the privilege of collecting taxes to
the highest bidder. The price paid
by the successful bidder was the
revenue which the king received.
The amount of the tax collectors
compensation was limited only by
the amount he could wiring from an
ignorant and helpless populace. Con-
trast with that, present day practic-
es under which the burden imposed
upon each tax payer is designed tc
be proportionate to his ability to
pay; is authorized by statute en-
acted by law makers chosen by popu-
lar vote; is assessed and collected
by officials similarly chosen while,
instead of being helpless, the tax
payers are protected by the courts
against the possibility Of arbitrary
executive action"
With such an introduction, he
goes on to show that the North Da-
kota legislature "has combined
several different forms of taxation
including income tax, the inheritance
tax, the tax upon oil, and such taxes
as. the capital stock tai; and the
gross earnings tax upo} insurance
companies and upon li1,s together
with the general properly tax. The
income tax possesses th, character
istic of being fair and Equitable but
the yield of revenue is subject to
extreme fluctuation. A commodity
tax like the tax upon kerosene and
gasoline produces dependable
amount of revenue and is easy any
inexpensive of administration but, if
applied to the necessaries of life,
bears unjustly upon those who have
Small tax paying abilities. The
general property tax can depended
to produce uniform amount Of
revenue and, until recent years, an
adequate amount.
