1t has only been half the span of n
mans life since Hollywood was found
ed. And the early settlers who
watched the skyline of the mountains
etched like great crawling snakes
against the blue had no idea of the
famous city they had founded.
How were they TO know that the
most famous man in the world. not
yet born thirty-five years ago, was to
build his home and fame in their
city.
The early settlers for the most part
were men of business who looked for
ward TO the proverbial rainy day, and
kept their roofs in order. Then
irony. as usual entered, and laughed
at life. The men and women upon
whose shoulders the fame of Holly
wood was to reach the skies. were
not at all like the stern founders of
the dream town in the valley. They
were, for the most part. a crowd of
gay-hearted t-roubadours who loved
life too much to be stern.
The early settlers, or those who
could afford it. drove about the quiet
streets on Sunday afternoons and
the left. but always straight ahead,
as was becoming men and women of
vision who had founded n city. And

drove, an e~x-cowboy. attired in rain.

To many people. after years of
world wandering. Hollywood is the
end of the trail. There are several
reasons for this, the principal one
being the many interesting persons
who live there.
For along its streets, at some time
or another, pass the famous travellers
of the world. Woven into the history
OF the town. from its very beginning.
there has always been something pic
turesque. Long before the days of
'49 1t was a revel ground for Spanish
lovers and maidens who have long
since vanished to the land of invisible
places. For in Hollywood. under the
moon, were held plays and picnics by
the now forgotten but warm-hearted
lovers of life.
There seems always to have been a
lure about Hollywood for the rovers
from far places. They drifted to
Hollywood from everywhere, the wan
dering members of many national
tiles. An English globe trotter came,
and settled, and Cover, one of the
principal streets. still bears his name.
n years before, there camped,
under the stars, real outlaws who
never dreamed of the screen. The most
noted of these was vasquez. Reading
his history one regrets that such n
man had to turn outlaw and dance
on a vacant space at the end of n
rope. He was a bold. bad man, Who

GLASS SAYS
CONGRESS- HAS
BEEN BUNGLER
'HaS Committed More Eco.

Any in History
DEPLORES LEGISLATION
Declares Farm Credit Bills
Are Most UnsOund in
Principle

Richmond. Va, Feb. 24.-Thc
sixty-sevcnth Congress which ends
March "has committed more
economic crimes" than are record
ed in the previous history of the
country, United States Senator
Carter Glass, former secretary of
the treasury, declared in an ad-
dress here last night before the
local chapter of the American In
stitute of Banking.
Deploring what he termed the
increasing desire to "spend gov
ernment money Senator Glass de-
clared that much of the farm cred
its legislation brought up at this
session of Congress was unsound
in principle.
When the Lenroot- Anderson
farm credits bill was passed by
the senate, Senator Glass said he
voted for it not because he thought
lit was a question of 100000, 900
or $5O0,O0O,O0O."
Touching on activities of the
war finance corporation Senator
Glass said he believed it had been

DAIRY GOODS
President Harding Urges Ma.
tiOns TO Send Delegates to
Meeting Oct. 2

Washington, Feb. {24.-President
Harding has invited all nations to
send official representatives, to the
Worlds Dairy Congress, which will
meet in Washington from October
to 5. It's object will be to get to-
gether and exchange the information
gained by the latest research into
the influence of milk and milk pro-
ducts on national health, into means
of reducing the costs of production
and distribution while improving the
quality of dairy products, into the
international economic principles
bearing on the dairy industry and
methods of sanitary control.
The meeting will have its finger
in every Americans pie; because
81 out of every IS spent for food in
this country goes for milk, butter,
cheese, or some other dairy product.
The money caused to circulate in
America annually by the COW is
equal in amount to more than third
and perhaps nearly half Of our
European war loans. The depart
ment of agriculture and the census
bureau figure the United States has
around 33,OOO.000 dairy cattle and
that their products on the farms
have a value annually Of two and
a half billion dollars. It is, estima-
ted that from the time the milk
leaves the cow till it reaches the
consumers in various forms it's va
lue has been enhanced from 100 to
1000 per cent.

Senate bill No. l73, providing
means Of organizing county welfare
boards and employing social welfare
experts, was defeated in the house
Of representatives last night.
1t was the first of the measures
advocated by the Children's Code
Commission to be defeated. The vote
was 36 ayes to 65 noes. The "clinch-
or" motion was applied by opponents,
making impossible the reconsdera-

The measure provided that when
ever county commissioners should
deem it necessary they should ap-
point county welfare boards to act
for the welfare of all the children
and giving the board power to APP
point an executive secretary and as
sistants we'll versed in child welfar.

Issue Debated at Length on
Floor of House by Repre-
sentatives
LEAD TO LOG.ROLLING!

After lengthy discussion the
house of representatives rejected
the Tholso bill for a submission
to statewide vote of a consttu-
tional amendment permitting the
legislature to authorize issuance
of bonds to build dormitories at
state educational institutions.
There was no record vote, but
there were few "noes" heard when
the motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill was put by Speaker John
son. The bill came before the house
on divided report Of the judiciary
committee, with the majority for
indefinite postponement.
Chairman Sta1ke, Of the judi
ciary committee, opening the de-
bate, said Prof. Wilkerson of the
University of North Dakota had
submitted figures which he believ-
ed convinced many members of
the committee that bonds could be
issued for the dormitories to ma
ture in 40 years, and that rental
from the rooms would pay the in
terest and build up fund to retire
the bonds.
Rep. Twichcll, opposing the bill,
declared that Prof. Wilkerson
didn't convince anyone that we
could get something for nothing
Need ClassrOOms, he Says
IF we submit this to a vote of
the people we have given it the
prestige of legislative indorse-
ment." said Rep. Twichell. "What
will happen? The same thing will
happen that happened at the A.
G. when we put the county seat
agent matter to vote. They will
get out thousands of circulars and
the state will pay for them. The
forces opposed to bond issues wont
be organized. The amendment may
carry, and then they can come here
in two years and say that the peo-
pie told us to build the dormi-
tories.
IF there is anything we need
to issue bonds for it is for build
ings containing class rooms
He said it was estimated the
dormitories would cost $4,000 a
room, or $1,000 for each student
occupying the building.
Wakes Sarcastic

castle in his opposition.
where are we heading for ~
he asked. When in 1917 the Nom
partisan league authorized bonds
for $17,500,00O we were told the
state was being bankrupted. If
all the legislation in this session
providing for bond issues passed
it will amount to $34.500.000. If
the league made the sky the limit,
the I. V. A. is knocking out the
sky"
Rep. Watt, Cass county, declar-
ed Prof. Wilkerson admitted that
the rent from dormitory rooms
would not maintain them and re-
tire the bonds.
Rep. Carr, Stutsman, said that
"while l realize there is a lot of
force to the argument that the
present generation ought not to
pay for buildings that last 100
years, yet feel it is very dan
gerous measure, and would let
down the bars and lead US into
difficulties"

TAX SHIFT Is
BIG PROBLEM
IN EXEMPTIONS
House Tax Committee Is At
tempting to Discover Ef-
feet of Measure
rs PER CENT BASIS
Question Raised How Much
the Total Assessment of
State Will Be Boosted

Whether the shift in taxes from
the farm to the city under the pro-
visions of the senate bill which
would remove practically all ex-
emptions and assess all property
except farm improvements at IS
percent of it's actual valuation will
be too great is a question which
the house committee on taxes and
tax laws, j. A. Jardine, chairman,
is attempting to discover. Action
on consideration by the measure
by the committee has been defer
, red until such time as the state
tax commissioners force is able
to shift the possibilities and wade
through an amazing mass of fig
ures.
S. b. 255 was originally intro
duced by Senators Storstad and
Gardiner, independents and had as
it's main purpose the abolition Of
all exemptions from taxation now
in force.
1t called for the assessment of all
property whether "real, personal
or mixed at fifty percent of it's
value. The senate taxation COM
mittec, however, amended to law
to assess all property at rs per-
cent of it's actual valuation.
According to experts who have
been working on the tabulation of
comparative figures in an effort to
learn Just what the Is percent val
uation would do towards equalizing
the taxes as between farm and city
property, has expressed an ad-
vance opinion that in the average
cities would be increased 10 per-
cent and rural districts Is percent.
Under the provisions of the new
bill here are few of the changes.
All city business property,
hotels, city lots, public utilities, re-
duccd % percent from present 100
percent valuation.
Exemption on household goods
and personal wearing apparel wip-
ed out, by change permitting only
5000 exemption for both classes.
Valuation on farm lands now as
sessed at 1OO% is decreased Is
percent
Exemption on farm machinery
and personal property is abolished,
Just about making up for next
previous item. Exemptions on
farm improvements are still con-
tinued.
Live stock exemptions are eli
minated meaning SO percent in
crease on that point.
Removal of all exemptions on
residences, will result in the taxa
ton of hundreds of homes in the
small villages, and the cheaper
homes in the cities which now es-
cape a real estate tax.
Under the present laws the own
er of residence in, a city is grant
ed a $500 exemption on a 50 per
cent valuation. This means that
great numbers of houses costing
less than 1000 are not taxed.
Comparisons Shown
In this connection figures are
cited by comparison. One home
in Bismarck on which was paid
$13.26 lot tax, $5l.54 building tax,
and no personal property tax, paid
total of $64.8O. Under the pro-
posed new rs percent valuation
proposed the taxes would be lot,
1859, buildings 1O0.98, personal
property CTS, total of $ll8.3O,
an SO percent increase.
