NAY GET BREEDING STALLION

able, Writes Major NeilI.

The editor of the Herald this week
received a letter from w II Neill
Major Q. nj. c., L. S. remount purchas-
ing and breeding headquarters. Boise.
Idaho, in which Major Neill stated
that 1t was probable that a govern
ment thoroughbred stallion for breed
ing purposes would be assigned this
zone and that the animal would be
sent to Boundary county if proper ar
rangements could be made for it's
care
The editor has made arrangements
with DR.. White, veterinarian, to take
charge of the animal, and a completed
application has been returned to
Major Neill. The stallion to be sent
mere viii be an animal best suited 70
the average breed and weights of
horses of this county DR.. White
states that there is a serious need in
this county for a thoroughbred stall
hon Under the government contract
ne viii take full charge of the animal
for one year The government will
set the amount of the stud fee to be
charged, which will be reasonable and
not less than SO. The stallion must
be kept here at no cost to the govern
ment. The government claims no
option on mares bred or on the off
spring of the stallion.
The matter of securing a govern
ment thoroughbred stallion for breed
ing purposes in Boundary county was
first taken M by the editor of the
Herald two years ago when he was
serving in the state legislature. AT
that time and year later all the
stations available were sent to other
districts because of prior applications.
Major Neill now writes that the appli-
cation of Boundary county is on file
ahead of several others.

a very good outline Of the meaning
of this world wide organization and
what it hoped to accomplish for its.
members and the communities in
which they lived.
Swart Henry was called. upon to
outline the program for Boys Week,
which is the second week in May.
The program arranged for will fea-
ture services in the various churches
in line with topics Of interest to boys
on Sunday, programs in the schools
on Monday, play day with a parade
and field meets on Tuesday and a.
boys entertainment on Wednesday,.
Various members Of the club have.
signified their willingness to assist in
the work Of the week and the church.
es are asked to cooperate with the
club in making the week successful
one. 1t is planned to have various:
organizations in the city take part in
the parade, the Municipal Band, The.
Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, G. Com
pany, etc. Prizes will be awarded to-
the boys organization making the.
best showing in the parade and priz-
es will also be provided for the win
ners in the field events.
AL. Hammes was the. four minute
speaker for the day and gave an in
teresting talk on publicity for the
club, showing the proper means Of,
giving the club publicity that the com
munity might know its aims and prin-
ciples. AIS talk was interesting and
contained some very good hints on
the subject.

ing their direct application to the
lives of the members.

graphical distribution of the offices,
something that was not possible in
the primaries.
The main contest revolves around
the senatorship and as the Pioneer
has urged before, it is imperative
that the convention handle this mat
ter in such manner as will insure the
impossibility Of sending Lynn J. Fra
zier to the senate. To permit the ex-
governor to win would be the worst
calamity that could befall North Da-
kota, which is now convalscing from
six years Of mal-administration by
this same man, Frazier.
We have been repeatedly told how
since the recall of Frazier and his as.
sociates on the Industrial Commission
North Dakota is coming back; that in
terests that had withdrawn their in
vestments in North Dakota were send
ing money back into the state in the
belief that We had renowned social
ism. To recall Frazier as governor
and then reward him with q seat in
the senate would be an imbecile act,
for it would result in u more string
ent ban being placed on the state by
outside interests. without whose aid.
financial and otherwise, North Dako-
ia cannot hope for development. 1t
would be an announcement to those
interests that we had suffered a re-
lapse, and with four and six year
terms in the senate by men such as
Ladd and Frazier, with no recourse
from our folly, we would deserve all
the ignomity that will be heaped on
the state.
And so it is in our estimation, the
most crucial stage we have yet ex-
perienced and one that demands that
personal feeling, personal ambitions
be submerged for the general good Of
the state; that the delegates from
Morton county as well as those from
other counties take survey of con-
ditions as they exist, forget their
prejudices or preferences and unite to
prevent a catastrophe which must OF
necessity result from a division OF
forces and the lection of Frazier

ate may not improve our representa-
ton at Washington it certainly can
not hurt it. On the other hand, if the
endorsement Of Christianson would
add the greater strength to the state
ticket, even though the entrance Of a
third candidate would nominate Fraz-
Ter, he should be accorded the support
Of the press. From late reports it is
evident that the delegates are at sea
in this particular and it will probably
be late today before any definite ac-
ton is taken.

or not. Gronna has been silent on the
subject. Frazier has been endorsed
by the nonpartisan league for the pc.
sition. The question to be decided BY
the delegates to the convention is
which candidate will add the greatest
strength to the state ticket. There
is little doubt but that Christianson
would be the logical candidate and
would receive the endorsement il
there was any assurance that the
other candidates would withdraw
from the race but three or four cor
nered fight is almost certain to re-
suit in the nomination of Frazier in
the June primaries. The state Of
North Dakota has one visionary SEN
ator in Washington at present who
has four more years to complete his
term. His influence in the senate is
nil, for which we are duly thankful
as any influence to which he might
attain would be likely to be detri-
ment to the state. Frazier would be
a fit running mate, for Ladd, as they
are fathered by the same political or
ganization and have the same fanci-
full ideas as to the functions of gov
eminent. However, North Dakota's
position in the senate is in exact ra-
ito to the position which our senators
hold in that body and with Ladd and
Frazier holding down the two senate.
rial seats any legislation which we
would receive would be the result of
the efforts of senators from the neigh
boring states and would be purely a
gift of the Gods. The latest reports
from the convention indicate the pro.
bable endorsement of McCumber. The
Times Record has not felt at any time
that McCun1ber was giving the state
the representation to which we are
entitled nor has he been using his
powerful position in the senate for the
benefit of his constituents. We do not
feel that he should receive the en-
dorsement on the strength of his work
in congress, but, if his candidacy
could add the greatest strength to the
state ticket then he should get the
support of the press. The political
situation in the state has been in tur-
moil for several years. Our state
government is Of more Importance to
North Dakota than the federal gov
eminent and the state ticket should
not be sacrificed for any candidate
for federal office. If the endorse
ment of McCumber will insure the
election of the state ticket the indie
pendent voters should unite in plac-
ing his name on the ticket. While

Of folly.
1t is unfortunate that in the selec-
ton of delegates from the county
there was not some regard paid to a
geographical distribution of delegates
so that the county outside Of Mandan
should have decent representation
but in the anxiety to put across
something this very essential matte,
was passed up. 1t was a foregone con-

larger number present at mass con-

side towns or districts, but there was
little excuse for ignoring them in the
selection of delegates.
However, the injury has been done
and there is nothing but to make the
best of it. The delegates are free to

their constituents would have them

From his record in the senate there
is no indication that he is strong
believer in the farm bloc. He has
stated that his position on the senate
finance committee precludes his ALI
ance with any bloc or particular set
of men in congress. There may be
many things about the workings of
congress with which we are not IA
miliar but that statement does not
seem reasonable to US and is Nigh
ty weak attempt to dodge the issue.
The question is asked if the candidate
will recognize the republican state
central committee headed by Judge
Spaulding and abide by their recon-
mendations respecting party organi-
cation and patronage. The man who
receives the endorsement of the state
convention should be willing to pledge
himself on this point. McCumber has
-aown little inclination to recommend

of the state. The most import:
It question to be placed before the
ndidates is that which demands a
statement as to whether they will
abide by the decision of the conven-
ton and work for the candidate en-
dorsed. McCumber has stated that he
would be candidate whether endors-
ed or not. This is "dog in the man
ger' attitude and is unbecoming to a
United States senator. We have felt
for a long time that McCumber was
not representing the people of North
Dakota but was merely representing
McCumber. His interest in the vot-
ers of North Dakota ends when there
is nothing to be obtained from them.
His expressed attitude regarding the
Jamestown convention shows his. in
terest in the senatorship to be purely
personal and to be unworthy of the
support of the citizens Of North Da-
kota. McCumber holds mighty big
position in the United States senate
but that does not mean that he is a
big man.

The republican conventions held in
Fargo yesterday passed some resolu-
lions in which some very pertinent
questions were asked of the senator
ial candidates. These questions were
admittedly aimed at P. J. McCumber,
A. j. Gronna, P. D. Norton and JUS
tice Christensen, all Of whom are
understood to be looking for the en-
dorsement of the republican state con-
vention to be held at jamestown on
next Wednesday. The delegates in
Fargo yesterday were instructed to
give no consideration to any candidate
who refused to Aive satisfactory ans
wers to the questions. This is as it
should be. Justice Christensen has
not announced his candidacy and con-
sequently has made no announcement
of his stand on matters of interest to
the voters. P. D. Norton has stated
that he is in favor of the farm bloc''
in congress and has stated his posi-
ton on freight rates and other poll
teal questions applying to the state.
A. j. Gronna, in his announcement,
went extensively into state matters
in an obvious bid for the non-partisan
endorsement. He succeeded in elm
mating his, name from any consider
alton at jamestown but failed to re-
:eive the endorsement sought. All of
which narrows the questions down to
Senator P. j. McCumber and it is OBJ
yious that he is the man at whom they
were aimed. In his case they are
particularly pertinent and timely.

A NATION OF TAX DODGERS?

a NAIlON OF lAA DODGENS!
That the federal income tax law
has made this nation of tax 'dodg-
ers is the claim set up by Jason Rog-
ers, publisher of the New York Globe
and he presents some rather striking
statistics in support of his assertion.
Mr.. Rogers points out that the CEN
sus figures show about 100000 per
sons "gainfully employed" in the u.
IS. Of these only 100000 filed in
come tax returns in 1919, yet virtu-
ally all economists agree that the av-
erage income in 1919 was in excess
of 81 900. The income tax law pro-
vides that everyone with an income of
81 900 or more must file a return.
Under the law, therefore, approx
mately 10000 900 returns should haye
been filed, but scarcely one-quarter II
that number we're listed. That does
not mean that all of the remaining
Is 100000 were s'tax dodgers. Many
of them would not have been subject
to any tax, because of exemptions,
but all of them should have filed re-
turns and claimed their exemptions.
Mr.. Rogers further shows that the
total income reported was less than
SIC, 900, 100000, whereas it is estimat-
ed by economists that the total in
come Of the people of the United
States is in excess of $60,0OO,000,0 900.
In other words, not to exceed one
third of the total income was report
ed.
If Mr.. Rogers figures are even
approximately correct, it means that
the present income tax law has COM
pletely broken down and that some
new system Of collecting taxes must
be devised. That the law is cumber-
some, that it places premium on
dishonesty, that it is so complicated
that even the most honest-intention-
ed businessman finds it difficult to
ascertain what his taxes are, and that
it throttles what might be called
pioneer capital" are criticisms that
have frequently been made Of the law
and with plenty of justification. But
no such wholesale tax lodging as Mr..
Rogers claims has ever been limited
at and if his figures are able to stand
the test of close analysis they should
bring some prompt action toward a
simplification of the law and toward
providing more economical and
more efficient method of collecting
the tax.-Forum. .:

ventions being held at jamestown to-

''''iEj Diiii06RRiiAii, 49,


The |. V. A. convention meets at
jamestown tomorrow at which time
it is expected that a complete state
ticket will be endorsed as we'll as a
candidate for United States senator.
There have been about four avowed
candidates for the senatorial toga
but now the fight seems to have
been narrowed down to two-Mc-
Cumber and Judge Christianson. The
past fw days has seen great change
of sentiment in favor of Christensen.
The McCumber managers are claim
ing that the senior senator has ma
jority Of from rs to 100 delegates in
the jamestown convention but that
may not be substantiated when it
comes time to counting noses in the
real convention. Claiming delegates
and getting them is entirely different.
There is no doubt that McCumber has
greatly strengthened his position in
the past fe wdays but that was be-
fore Christensen really became a
candidate and the way matters are
shaping now the Bismarck jurist is
gaining rapidly and may be the NOM
inee Of that convention. Gronna will
no doubt remain out of the race if
that should happen and McCumber
would refuse to quit and thus we
would be up against a three-cornered
fight in the primaries for the nomin-
alton. P. D. Norton is another good
candidate but he came out altogether
too late to cut much ice in the COM
ing convention. He made good rec
ord while in congress, and if nomin-
ated and elected would become a
member. of the senate farm bloc
which is what the people Of this state
want. Maybe we do not know much
about conditions politically so far as
the senatorship is concerned, but we
cannot hel pbut think that Christian
son is going to be big factor in that
jamestown convention.
