Now don't know what made him
do it, whether a bit of the Sand
mans dust got out of his bag, or
what it was But something got up
Nick's nose! "Achoo! Achoo! ne
went.
And the Sandman was so taken
by surprise that he dropped his bag,
and the string dropped off and all
the sand flew out right on the Old
Woman's nice clean floor.
Nov, you've done it," cried
Daddy Gander, forgetting all about
hiding, "a nice muss you've made!"
"Muss" exclaimed the Sandman.
Fuss, you mean. Who did all that
sneezing. 1t nearly scared me to
death"
But instead of answering HIM,
didn't all three of them start to
sneeZe again. 1t must have been
the sleepy sand that got into their
noses And at every sneeze more
sleepy sand flew out of the door.
And it flew across the street and
over the tops of three houses to
the house that J4ck built where the
party was. And every last one OF
the merrymakers fell asleep.
oh. it was dreadful state of at
fairs! And the pies still missing!

MANDAN NEWS
PLEAD Chilly

Sam Hobcin of .Judson and Fred
Koopp living near Mandan. both
farmers, were each sentenced to six
in the county Jail and to pay
4 fine of $500 and costs when they
entered pleas of guilty to violation
of the Volstead act before Judge H.
l.. Berry in district court yesterday.
Judge Berry upon pleas of the two
for clemency suspended the Jail sem
fences and fines upon good behavior
but assured the offenders that any
further dabbling in moonshine would
be sufficient cause for exaction of
the full penalty as well as additional
future penalties. He gave them free
dom upon payment of $50 costs in
either case.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Away went Nancy and Nick and
Daddy Gander on IT, magic dustpan
to hunt for the pies and cakes and
ice cream that had been stolen from
Jack and Jill's party.
The magic dustpan had grown as
big as a magic carpet and the three
of them were quite comfortable.
ooh, l do hope Mother Goose will
stay away until it's all overt" said
Daddy Gander "Wouldn't | be in
Il pretty pickle if she'd come home
now and find that I'd let everybody
go.to party at that"
ooh. look!" cried Nancy looking
down through acres of darkness 3.
There's = light moving. Do you
s'pose that's Jack Hearth"
Daddy Gander peered over the
edge of the queer airplane. Eyes,
sir! 1t must be-" he exclaimed i.
"Whoa, there, SALLY" And he.said
a charm in g.bberish to Tie 1ust-
pan, which stopped Immediately and
began to descend.
And they landed ri/it beside the
Old Womans Shoe. The patch door
was open and somebody was inside
SO very cautiously the three OF
them peeped in, and who, my dears
do YOU s'pose was there? Mister
Sandman! He was rushing about
from crib to crib and cot to cot
pulling down covers and pumping
up pillows as though he had lost his
senses.
Every last one of them!" he kept
saying over and over. Every one
as gone as a rabbits tail. What car
the Old Woman be thinking of to
keep her children up so late? AND
il she has lost her senses, where
can Mother Goose be to allow such
carrying on. And last of ail-where
can the children be? How am even
to drop sand into their eyes?"

She is a great woman and / con-

Eagerly Paula turned to Carton
and said, "Do you think might

II am afraid not, Paula" he anx

PEOPLES FORUM
ANENT PERSONAL TAXES


Editor Tribune:
There has been a great DEAF OF
complaint from the tax payers OF
Bismarck who have received their
1923 personal property tax notices.
l have been asked by a number OF
tax payers why their taxes are about
three times more than they were for
the previous year, 1922. Property
owners say we have no more fu1ni-
ture than we had the previous year,
our taxes should be less, because our
furniture is getting older each year.
Under the assessment laws in force
in 1922 property was listed as fol-
lows:
Glass Included the following
! which shall be valued and assessed
at 100 per cent of the full and true
value. All Railroads and other fub-
lie Utilities. All land, exclusive OF
Structures thereon. City lots, all
Bank Stock, Flour Mills, Elevators,
Warehouses and Storehouses, build
ings and improvements on Railroad
rights of way, all structures and i'm
provements on city lots used for
business purposes.
Glass 2-This includes all kinds
of personal property, such as live
stock, goods and merchandise, house
hold goods and furniture, clothing
and other belongings, structures and
improvements used for homes upon
town or city lots. This class Of pro-
perty was assessed at SO per cent of
it's true and full value.
Exemptions. All farm buildings
were exempted from taxation, also
there was an exemption Of $4,000
on homes on city lots, an exemption
of $4,000 on household goods and
furniture, and exemption of $4,000
on clothing and other personal be-
lodgings, an exemption of 100000 on
tools of a working man or mechanic,
$4,000 exemption on the tools and
machinery of farmer.
The Legislature Of 1923 passed a
new assessment law doing away with
all exemptions, except buildings and
improvements on farm lands, and
placing all property on a rs per cent
taxable basis.
/ For instance in 1922, a mans home
was assessed say for $25O0.O0 he was
allowed $4,000 exemptions, and the
balance was assessed at so per cent
which would be 100000, this at
$3.50 on the one hundred dollars val
uation would be $4,000. Under the
present law if his home is assessed
at $25O0.0O he is taxed on rs per
cent Of this amount which is $1275.OO
and at the present rate of over $3.50
on the one hundred dollars valua-
ton, his taxes would be $10313.
Under the old law if man or wo-
man were assessed on household
goods and furniture an $4,000 val
uation, the exemption of $4,000
would be deducted and the remainder
would be taxed at 80 per cent which
would be $4,000 valuation, this
would make tax of $4.6O, and road
and school polls $3.50 making a tax
Of $50. 81 ne
Under the present-lay if you are
assessed $4,000 on household goods,
you are taxed on IS per cent of this
amount which would be $4,000 and
at the present rate of about $3.50 on
the one hundred dollars valustion
the tax would be $1,000 and $3.50
added for road and school polls
would make the taxes $24.12. 5.s

INCREASED JURISDICTION

Petitions will shortly be before the people of Burleigh
county asking the county commissioners to place the
ballot at the March Is primary the question Of whether
not increased jurisdiction shall be given to the county court
The citizens of the county make mistake in signing
these petitions and in voting for increased jurisdiction
Because the law provides that many state suits be
brought only in Burleigh county, well the increasing
legal business arising the county, the district court here
is perhaps the most overbrdened in the state Each term
of finds crowded docket. Unless method Of
relieving the district Judge of of this burden is found
another district Judge will be necessary
Judge James A. Coffey has pointed the way out. He
urged that increased jurisdiction be given the county court
The board of county commissioners has wisely endorsed the
proposal.
Increased jurisdiction for the county court that
involving less than $1,000 and mdemeanor may
be tried before the county Judge with without jury
the law provides the parties to the law suits dictate
Court business could be handled with greater dispatch
under the arrangements taxpayers would welcome reduced
court which would be made possible through obvat
ing the necessity Of long and expensive jury in dis
trict court and the tgants would find it possible
speedy conclusion of their Increased jurisdiction has
proved successful in other counties. 1t will if tried
successful in Burleigh county.
1t is now up to the people.

CAPITOL.

A picturized drama of passions,
set in an elemental background Of
the tropics where the worst from
white mans civilization congregate.
and great typhoon-bringing storms
destroy as with a breath, opened last
night at the Capitol theater. 'Thun-
dering Dawn" is the title and it is
Universal Super-Jewel picture,
starring J. Warren Kerrigan, the
popular screen favorite. He depicts
Q vigorous young American who
falls victim to the rampant vice Of
a Javanese tropical port.
A powerful conflict is maintained
when his finance, played by Anna
Q. Nilsson, chances voyage to
where her lover resides, in order that
she might aid him to recuperate and
return to a white mans level. She
must not only battle his drug and
drink cravings, but the wiles of a
crafty half-caste beauty who looks
upon all men as her prey, and who
has fallen madly in love with the
young newcomer from the States.
Interesting episodes swiftly un-
ravel in the local "Honkey Tonk,"
gaming resort maintained by the
professor" played by Richard Kean,
Shakespearean star for. thirty
years. There, a picturesque pack Of
knaves, the outcasts Of every land,
congregate to gamble, drink, love and
brawl.
Kerrigan has the role of Jack
Standish who leaves Boston sud-
denly in order that guilt for bust
ness defalcations would point only to
himself, rather than to his aged
father.

On clothing, under the old law
you were exempt 100000, and very
few people paid any tax on clothing.
Now you are taxed on IS per cent Of
whatever value your assessment was.
Goods and merchandise are taxed at
rs per cent, instead of so per cent
under the old law.
Farm lands. city lots, Railroads,
Elevators, All Public Utilities, all
buildings used for business purposes
are taxed on rs per cent valuation,
instead of 100 per cent valuation I'M
der the old law. The way to reduce
taxes is to practice economy in all
departments from the State down
to the lowest taxing body. '.
Yours truly,
W. A. Falconer,
City Assessor.

HI JOHNSON COMING

The announcement in Cleveland that Hiram Johnson is
sending his secretary to North Dakota to what be
done about getting delegates for him in the 1924 Republican
convention the beginning of lively scrap for dele
gates when the only fight the horizon date has been
fight as to who shall be delegates
The Tribune found for satisfaction in the
recent Republican State Committee meeting, controlled by
Nonpartsans, the endorsement of Coolidge regardless
of motives And of the attitude of the league leaders
Coolidge important than the personnel of the
delegation, because the themselves will direct the
vote of the delegates the opening ballots.
That the Nonparsan organization would accept
the list of delegates and would instead put up list Of
delegates in the primary foregone conclusion. This
delegation reasonably be predicted Coolidge deega-
ton SO that if the two lists go before the voters there
would appear the certainty of out-andou Coolidge dele
cation the hand and at least partial Coolidge dele
CATION on the other.

ARE YOU SPEEDY?

Are Americans really Speed Crazy? We're accused
often enough and most of believe it. But just go
the downtown district and watch the pedestrians especially
those who ambe along the wrong side of the walk bang
up traffic Watch them in the busy hours-and you begin
t. revise your notions about Speed Mania.
Occasionally of the pedestrians hustes fast he
almost knocks his neighbors down. But this speeder
hibtng squirt of speed, not chronic condition. He's
hustng to get to the bank before it coseor hurng
other destination because he oad too long previously
and got started late.
People, when their feet, slow they in
grandpas day-probably slower. That's because
on foot requires expenditure of personal effort.
When the person gets into auto he wants to
speed And that's because movement by auto doesn't require
much effort If it much work walking, most autos
would rarely exceed five miles hour.
The efficiency experts in many have rugged up
systems people have work certain speed get
