income of all corporations in the
state.
To Re.apportion Returns
Re-apportionment of returns
from the state income tax is pro-
vided in the administration bill. 1t
calls for distribution Of the reve-
nue. on the basis of SO per cent to
the state, 10 per cent to counties
and 40 per cent to municipalities,
in place of the present apportion-
ments of 10 per cent to the state,
20 per cent to the counties and 70

on taxable income set by the ad-
ministration proposal.
On the first $1,000 of taxable

The effect of the proposed new
tax law is to increase taxes sharp

Any balance in this income tax
fund above appropriations and
above $1,OOO,OOO will be held to

annually into the common school

FORMER ROGUE
INVESTIGATION

Indianapolis, Ind.-The National
Executive Committee of The Ameri-
can Legion met at indianapolis on
January 14th and 18th. This Com
mittee adopted resolutions approving
the action Of the authorities of the
State Of Louisiana in their endeav-
ors to enfroce law and order and
condemned the murder of an ex-
service man by "lawless band" An
other resolution was adopted urg-
ing the government of the United
States to lend it's aid to abate the
world crisis and assist in the es-
tablishment of peace.
The resolution on the Mer Rouge
investigation was short but to the
point. It follows: "Be it resolved,
That this Committee approve of the
action of the authorities of the
state Of Louisiana in their endeay-
ors to enforce law and order and
condemn the foul murder of one of
our comrades by lawless band, and
that We await with scrutiny the
bringing to the bar of justice the
peypetrator of this crime"

These are seen by Maj. Gen.

possible results of further French
encroachments on Germany.
Dickman, who commanded the
Third division in France, led the
American army of occupation into
Germany and was in command Of
American forces on the Rhine until
July 1919. He is particularly fitted
to gauge the seriousness Of the
present situation.
Breaking Point Near
Dickman's outspoken opinion is
that the breaking point in Germany
has almost been reached and he
fears unless French pressure is
modified a new war will result Wits
in two weeks.
"Unless the cold counsel of Great
Britain prevails with France, a new
war between Germany and France is
almost certain" Dickman says.
"In it Germany could raise the

successful revolt against the French
are much more favorable today than
then.
"My opinion is that if the French
push matters too far, they will lose
ALL
"The immediate danger is that the
demands of France will force the col
lapse of conservative, industrial
Germany. That means bankruptcy
and the immediate seizure of con-
troll by communist and extremist
groups which at once will join hands
with Russia.
Russia already has an army of
100000 men, equipped and mobil-
lied. AS to man-power, the German
Russian combination could master
eight or ten to one against France.
With German officers to train and
lead Russia's forces France quickly
would be far outnumbered.
Cites U. s. Example
"And France would face this new
war virtually alone. The United
States certainly would not join it.

els Murphy, Minot, represented
Burk county taxpayers, desiring
Kopriva's removal, aud E. r. Sinkler,
of Minot, representing Kopriva, pre-
sented their arguments. They went
over the records of the case.
Among the charges against Mr.
kopriva, who was elected auditor of

the following:
That he received about $500 In

not attempt to return this until u
number of days after he was sus-
pended. GA case is pending in Burk
county district court, in which Mr..
kopriva is charged with embezzle-
ment in this connection.)
That he falsified the records of
a county commissioners meeting by
suppressing part of the proceedings.
Namely, that his records did not
show action of the commissioners
in designating certain banks as de-
positors for seed loan fund.
That he violated the law which
designates who shall be called on
county canvassing. board by calling
as two Of three members of the
board county officials who were
candidates in the election whereas
the law provides that where possible
those of the officials designated,
who are not candidates, shall be
