SHERIFFS ASK
RETENTl0N0F
ALLOWANCE
Hold That Present Mileage
Figure Is Not At All
Excessive

Members of the North Dakota
sheriff's association were preparing
today to take action voicing strong
opposition to proposed legislation be-
fore the legislature to reduce their
mileage appropriations. The annual
meeting of the association ends to-
night.
The present allowance for official
travel by a sheriff is 10 cents per
mile and $3.50 for every 20 miles or
fraction thereof travelled by automo-
bile or horse. h..
Three proposed bills before the
legislature would abolish this two
providing for only straight 10 cent
a mile allowance and one Is cent
q mile allowance.
The sheriffs yesterday elected Cd
in OVERLY, Grand Forks, president,
D. j. Meyers, Bowman county, vice
president; and A. C. Slade, Slope
county, secretary-treasurer.
George F. Shafer, attorney general
gave a talk, telling the officials of
some Of the technicalties Of their Of
fee, outlining fully where search
warrant is needed before searching
a property for liquor. 1t is necessary
unless the sheriff has seen the Ii
quor and knows it is there. He told
Of one official near the border who

Mr.. Shafer also emphasized the
need for great care in performing
the duties Of the office and showed
how willful neglect or even negli-
gence might result heavy Anes
and Imprisonment as we'll as loss of
office.
Regarding the proposal to lower
the mileage allowance the sheriffs
pointed out that the present allow,
ance amounts to only 90 1-2 cents a
mile and that automobile hire, as
they said, amounts to rs cents in
the summer and 30 cents in tne win
ter. They expressed the belief tina
such legislation would bring a
cheaper class Of men into the Offices
throughout tne state = men who
would make up the mileage loss by

PREDICTS MANY
BANK MERGERS
IN NO. DAKOTA
If Legislation Is Enacted
There May be so Such in
Two Years, Divet Says
HAS DRAFT OF BILL
Proposal for Legislative Au-
thority Is Laid Before
Legislature

Prediction that tbsre would be
many bank consultations in North
Dakota haps so in the next
two years if legislation is enact
ment permitting them, and that
the banks, depos tors and the pub
lie all would be served through
such consultations, was made bv
a. G.. Divet. counsel for the North
Dakota Bankers Association, in
presenting to the joint banking
committees of the house and SEN
ate hpre a draft of a bill to permit
so.idations.
Explanation of the bill formed
the chief subject CT Mr.. D.vet's
talk. in which he also referred to
other suggested measures for
strengthening the banking laws of
the state. In appearing before the
committee Mr.. Divet said that he
was interested in such legislation,
and that he des red to appear be-
fore committees in the regular
way, laying his arguments before
them in an open and above board
manner, to be acted upon as the
committees see fit.
The consoli dation bill itself or
dinarily would not be considered
an important matter of legislative
policy, since national banks are
permitted to consolidate under
regulation of the Comptroller of
the Treasury, and practically all
states in the union have statues
rnder which the consolidation of
banks and other corporations is
permitted. AS explained by Mr..
Divet, however. consultations are
only made Of any corporations by
express statutory authority, and
there is no authority for bank con-
solicitations in North Dakota.
The bill would provide that two
thirds of the stockholders Of both
institutions must approve of
consolidation, that the merged in
stitution must have at least two
thirds of the capital stock of the
two merged and would, Mr.. Divet
declared, provide every protection
for stockholders, depositors and
the public. He estimated it would
take two and one-half to three
months to complete the steps
necessary to effect consolidation.

Mrs. Cabell, Il believe an article

Mrs. Cabell was born in Lynch
burg, Va. Her mother was of dis
tinguished Virginia family, and her
father Charles Eliot, Jr., colonel of
engineers, organized the United
States Steam Ram Fleet in the Civil
War. Her ASS ociations made her see
the need, she said, Of renewing pa
triotic unity among the women of
north and south.
The wife of President Benjamin
Harrison was the first president of
the organization, but owing to her
i'll health Mrs. Cabell as vice presi-
dent was in the chair much of the
time during Mrs. Harrison's life and
became letting president following
her death. Five years ago she was
invited to hold the gavel again at a

LIMITATION
LAW DRAWN
FOR S0L0NS
Tax Commissioners Office
Tries to Eliminate Difficult.
ties in Present Laws
WHAT IT PROVIDES

L. A., Baker, deputy tax commits
sioner has tried to solve the problem
of fair tax limitation law in a bill
he has drawn and which will be in
troduced at the present session of
the legislature. If passed this law
will invalidate about 70 limitation
laws now on the statute books, which
provide limitations on taxes for all
the different purposes for which the
people might be taxed.
1t would also invalidate the more
recent law which holds down county
township, village and city to 1-3 of
the total 1918-19-20 tax and which
limits school DISTRICTS to the same
plus 80 percent.
The proposed bill works in two
Ways. 1t limits the amount of mills
per dollar that any kind of taxing
district in the state may lazy and it
also limits the aggregate amount to
be levied in 1928 to s percent more
than the 1922 levy with percent
yearly increase allowed after that,
exclusive Of interest and sinking
fund levies.
The mill limitation will effect only
20 percent of the taxing districts
according to Mr.. Baker. The limit
on the aggregate tax will operate in
a different class of districts.
The proposed legislation does not
affect the tax that may be levied for
any one purpose but merely the total
to be levied in any district, thus
making for more flexible arrange
ment.
The old limitation law provided
for expenditure rs percent in ex-
cess of the amount permitted by the
law in case such excess levy was
sanctioned by the voters. This made
for greater extravaganza in districts
where much money had already been
spent and for too limited levies in
districts wheer little money had been
spent before, according to Mr.. Baker.
The old limitation laws, too, were
based on assessment of 25 percent
of the value of property while as
sessments are now made on 100 or
a so percent valuation, according
to the class of the property.
The mill limitations of the taxing
districts are with certain exceptions
as follows: City, town or village
not more than IL mills to the dollar;
Townships mills; school districts
,-12 mills, with 2 years standard
high school Ia mills, with a year
high school 16 mills and if with night
school in addition, 10 mills, park
districts-2 mills. ~t
Counties with assessed property
valuation of 100000 are permitted
with certain exceptions-to levy
only mills to the dollar, with a. de-
creasing scale as the assessable value
crows larger until county which
has $4,000, 900 assessable property
m"v lew only as mills to the dollar.
The bill provides that any county
auditor who violates its provisions
shall be considered guilty of mis-
demeanor and punished accordingly
as well as losing his office. 40
