Will Not Be Voted Upon Be-
fore the June Primary

The question of whether or not
voters of the county shall give in
creased jurisdiction to the county
court will not be voted on at the
March 1S election in Burleigh coun-
ty.
The time for completing the ma
chinery for the submission of the
matter is too short to permit the
question to 60 on the ballot, County
Auditor johnson said today. No pc
titions have been filed, and il is
necessary that such election be ad-
vertised. the last advertisement to
be 10 days before the election.
Twelve hundred signatures are ne
cessary to petitions. 1t is probable
that the matter will be put up to a
vote in the June 25 primary.

GARNER RATES
In TAX BILL
ARE ADOPTED
Coalition of Republican In
surgents and Democrats
Forces Through Bill
RECORD VOTE LACKING
Republican Organization
Leaders Fail in Their
Compromise Effort

Washington, Feb. 20.-Aided by q
group of Republicans, most Of them
insurgents, house Democrats elm
mated from the revenue bill the
Mellon income tax rates. BY vote
of 222 to 1876 a schedule advanced
by Representative Garner, Democrat,
Texas, was substituted.
The bill as amended fixes the sur
tax maximum at ID percent on in
comes in excess of $4,000 as against
80 percent on incomes exceeding
100000 under existing law and 25
percent on incomes Of more than
100000 as recommended by the
treasury. 1t also reduces normal in
come tax rates to a greater extent
than Mr.. Mellon recommended end
increases personal tax exemptions, IA
feature not in the treasury draft.
Before approving the Garner pro-
posal which received the support of
II Republicans, one farmerlaborite,
and one de1endent, in addition to
203 Democrats, the house went on
record as opposed to rates substan-
TALLY the same as those recommcl d.
ed by Mr.. Mellon and rejected an
amendment by Representative Frear
of Wisconsin,, an insurgent, to cut
| normal rates in half without alter
| ing the existing surtax schedule.
Republicans Out
Republication organization leaders
had no opportunity to bring to a
vote a compromise amendment which
proposed a 25 percent reduction in
both normal and surtaX rates.
Rules in effect prevented roll
call on the Democratic substitute
which was approved by teller's vote
A record vote, however, on the
amendment can be demanded beforf
the bill comes up for passage and
organization Republicans are plen
ming to bring this about. Such g
vote would bring a straight-out test
Of strength between Mellon and Gar.
ner rates. An opportunity also will
be afforded the Republicans to Of.
fer their compromise with roll call
on the proposition in order.
, After disposing of the income rates
section, an amendment offered by
/ Representative Garner proposing to
make stock dividends taxable were
defeated, 141 to let, the house pro-
ceeding with reading of the bill in
regular order.
! Substitute Provides
Normal taxes of two percent on
incomes below $4,000; percent on
! incomes between $4,000 and $4,000;
percent on incomes exceeding $4,000
A graduated surtax scale begin
ming at one percent on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 up to a
maximum of AZ percent on incomes
exceeding $4,000.
Exemptions of $4,000 for sirgle
persons and $4,000 for head of fami-
lies.

PENN'S PARK PLAY MAX ES
GREAT HIT

The play entitled "The Intercepted
Letter" given by the Dramatic
Club of the PENIS Park Methodist
Church in Worthington Hall Tues
day evening, for the benefit of the
New Hope Church was a pronounced
success.
The hall was well filled with
people, considering the short notice
under which the play was arranged.
All those present were delighted
with the play, and agree that it
was one of the best ever given in
New Hope. Special stage scenery
made very appropriate and pleas
ing back ground for the play.
One of the outstanding features
was that the players were well
adapted to the characters. The ner-
vous tension in certain parts of
the play was skillfully relieved by
the unique wit of "Delia Slocum,"
Minnie Smith; "Bijah Finn" Richard
CiNopi, anu miSs Il tdhlty mTb
Roberts. The first of these charac-
tiers was hired girl on the farm,
the second jack of all trades,
and the last, one "who never has a
minute to spare.
Prospective brides should have
heard Delia's version of getting
married-"you can get married in
ten minutes, but once you are, you
are and there y'be".
Other leading characters were
philip Burleigh", Allen Clark;
Dave Weston, Louis Smith;
"Amos Goodwin, Willard Worthing-
ton; Thompson, Milton Clark;
"Flora Goodwin, Elizabeth Twining;
Mrs. Burleigh", Helen Ritter, and
the Pianist, Mrs. Richard Olsen.
The play was under the direction
of Rev. VIM. H. Alderman, Pas
tor of the PENIS Park Church, to
whom much credit is due for its
most successful execution.
Miss Hazel Gathers of the New
Hope Church rendered several piano
solos between the acts.

ponueHt VINO would venture TO pre-
dict the outcome would be fool
hardy indeed
Bedtime stories by Roxie Stin-
son" would be an appropriate title
for the scandalous Testimony" be-
ing broadcasted to the world by
Senator Burton X. Wheeler and his
hand-picked committee "investiga-
ting" Attorney General Daugherty.
Not one word of evidence which
would be admitted in court has
been presented thus far. Instead
Miss" Roxie Stinson has done all
the testifying, under the guidance
of Senator Wheeler. Miss" Stin-
son is the divorced wife of Jesse
Smith, friend of Mr.. Daugherty. He
committed suicide in Mr.. Daugher-
tvs apartment here about a year
ago. Miss" Stinson testifies that, al
though she had been for some time
divorced from Mr.. Smith and had
assumed her maiden name, it was
Mr.. Smiths custom to come back to
Ohio and spend his week-ends with
her; that he always brought at least
a suitcase full of whiskey, part
of which he gave to her. She says
that on these occasions their rela-
tons were perfectly conventional
but that the stories Mr.. Smith told
her were highly scandalous. And
that is the sort of thing which a
formal committee of the United
States Senate has been listening
to for several days. jesse Smith
is, of course, dead; so that what
ever Miss" Stinson says he told
her about Mr.. Daugherty, or anyone
else, must go unchallenged. All this
leads the N. Y. Tribune, under the
heading, after Mire, Slime" to re-
mark, After the mire of Senator
Walsh's attacks upon guilty and in
nocent in the oil investigation, SEN
ator Wheeler's nosing amid irrel-
evant gossip touching dead men who
cannot face their accuser is, it must
be agreed, the next logical step"
As predicted in these letters, once
Edward Mclean was permitted by
Senator Walsh to take the witness
stand he explained away all the
mysteries which had attached to
his private kilograms which the
committee had made public and
which had created so much sensa.
ton. His testimony punctured all the
Walsh bubbles. He told frankly OF
his agreement to aid Secretary Fall
by saying he had loaned Fall the
100000 which Fall had been asked
to account for. Aside from that
there is no sensation left; as Walsh
well knew there would not be. Walsh
is now assiduously hunting for an
other sensation.
