$235,000 TO
BE ASKED FOR
WATER SYSTEM
City Commission at Special
Meeting Takes Formal
Step to Finance Project
WELL WITHIN LIMIT
Little Opposition Expressed
to Move Which Will Speed
Up Operations
WELL WITHIN LIMIT

At special meeting of the city
commission last evening it was de-
cided to call a special bond election
Saturday, October 6. Formal resolu-
tion to this effect was passed. The
amount Of the proposed bond issue
was fixed at $685. 900, which is with
in four per cent Of the assessed VAL
uation for 1922. Assessed valuation
for this year is 100000 more than
that of 1922.
Two pestions will be presented to
the voters in the special election to
be held October eth, 1928. These
questions are as follows:
Question Number I.
Shall the city of Bismarck become
indebted in an amount not exceeding
four per cent (4T) of the assessed
value of the taxable property in said
city without regard to the existing
indebtedness of said city, for the pur-
pose of constructing or purchasing
water works for the purpose of fur
nishing a supply of water to the in
habitants of such city?
Question Number 2.
Shall the city of Bismarck issue
bonds in the sum of 5000, 100000, in
the denomination of 100000 each,
payable one-tenth in each of the years
1884 to 1943, both inclusive, with in
terest thereon at the rate of six per
cent (6To) per annum, payable semi
annually, such interest payments to
be evidenced by interest coupons at
tached to such bonds, for the purpose
of constructing or purchasing water
works for furnishing a supply Of
water to the inhabitants of such city?
Aggregate Amount
The aggregate amount of the bonds
heretofore issued by the city of Bis
marck is within the five per cent
limit prescribed by the constitution.
However, the constitution further
provides that@any incorporated CITY
| may become indebted in any amount
not exceeding four per csntum Of the
assessed value Of the city, without
regard to the existing indebtedness
Of the city for the purpose Of con-
structing or purchasing water works
for furnishing a supply of water to
the inhabitants of the city. Independ-
emily of these provisions, the consti-
tuition provides that city by a MAJ
jority vote may issue bonds upon any
revenue producing utility owned by
the city for purchasing or acquiring
the same, or building or establishing
it, in an amount not exceeding the
physical value of the utility, and in
estimating the indebtedness of the
city, any bonds issued upon revenue
producing utilities are not included.
That is, bonds issued for such pur-
pose are not included within the five
per cent or the four per cent limi-
| tations.
The Indebtedness could still fur
ther be increased three per cent on
the assessed value of the property in
the city by two-thirds vote. In all
other cases majority vote of those
voting upon the issuance of the bonds
Is sufficient to authorize the issu-
ance.

HELLSTR0M'S
CONTRACT Is
KNOCKED OUT
Commission Plan of Payment
Not Legal Declares Judge
JansOnius

Judge Jansonius issued an order
today restraining the board of county
commissioners from continuing the
contract entered into with F. o.
Hellstrom to collect certain taxes al
legged to be due from certain corpor-
atoms upon a percentage or commits
sion basiA In voiding this contract,
Judge Jansonius declared that the
proper procedure would 9. be fixing
Hellstrom's remuneration upon sal
ary basis. Newtona Dullam and Young
appeared for plaintiffs, F. w. Muir
ply, T. Il. Cayou. and J. F. George.
The opinion follows:
"This is an application for an order
restraining and enjoining the de-
PENDANTS from allowing and paying
any claim for services that may be
presented by F. o. Hellstrom under
the following resolution of the Board
of County Commissioners:
The Resolution
"Moved by Commissioner Swanson,
Seconded by Commissioner Soder:
Whereas, it has been brought to our
atteAtion that large amounts of tax
able property are alleged to have es-
capped taxation during the last year
and previous thereto; and
Whereas, one f. o. HellstrOm has
been instrumental in calling this mat
ter to our attention and has compiled
and brought certain data before US in
relation thereto.
"'Therefore, Be It Resolved, that
the said F. O. Hellstrom be employed
to assist the states attorney in in
vestigating said matter not only those
who are affected by the data now
brought before us by him, but all
property that has escaped taxation
regardless of individuals or corpor'
ations affected, and that he receive
retainer of $4,000 and ten per cent
of all taxes actually collected from
any taxable property placed on the
tax lists through his efforts, but in
case the ten per cent shall equal the
sum of $200.OO, then and in that case
said retainer fee shall be deducted
from said ten per cent. allowarc ce.

Session of Congress

Washington, Sept. 12.-Representa-
tive Young, Republican, North Da-
kota, arranged today for President
Coolidge to see a committee of bank
ers from the ninth Federal Reserve
district next week to discuss the
wheat crop situation.
Mr.. Young said that the committee
would favor reviving the U. S. Grain
corporation to take over and handle
the entire wheat crop.
Bankers of the ninth district, Mr.
Young added, believe the wheat sit.
nation is Of sufficient gravity to
warrant an early extra session OF
congress since legislative action
would be necessary to revive the
grain corporation. He said it was not
the idea that the corporation should
fix prices but should handle the crop
with view to stabilizine the market
and preventing speculation.

PRICE FIXING
BYG0VERNMENT
ISFAILURE
Aaron Sapiro Tells Fargo
Business Men That Courts
Are Not Help
CITES EXAMP L E S
Says Industrial Unity Is Only
Way to Bring Prosperity
To Nation
CITES EXAMP L E S

Fargo, Sept. 12.-Price fixing or
any other form of government inter-
ference in solving an economic prob
lem is a court failure, Aaron Sapiro,
national authority on cooperative mar
keting told Fargo business men at the
noon meeting Of the Rotary here to-
day.
To support his contention he cited
n. recent experience of the California
Raisln Growers association in price
fixing when with raisins selling at
22c pound the directors of the as
sociation attempted to guarantee Il
price to the grower. Stagnation came
to the industry and the market price
fell below the contract price with the
results that the association found NJ
self facing $2.00O,000 deficit and no
means to abrogate the contract.
"Until you have industrial unity
you cannot have real prosperity" NJ
Sapiro said. "As long as there iss.
division of interest you are going to
have political unrest. Until there is Il
decent standard of living for the
farmers of this section your economic
situation will continue in turmoil
and you will have farmers demanding
price fixing asking for help from the
public purse, and every other kind Of
half-baked relief from which there
can come no permanent remedy; onl!
MISERY in increasing amounts.
Mr. Sapiro briefly reviewed wha
he termed the fundamental defect:
!; in the present system of marketing
potatoes, pointing out that growers
dump their products on the markc
and break their own price rathel
[ than have merchants buy them, sell
ing them as consumption demand.
