1.-THE BOBBY father Graves a BOBBY
HOW soosYFY TAX PAYERS

An alleged Republican House has
sponsored an avowedly Democratic
tax bill. This happened because the
Lafollette freebooters Joined the
Democrats and with the aid of
"borers from within" betrayed the
Mellon bill.
The President has said this
Garner Democratic plan gave not
the slightest heed to the indirect ef-
feet Of high taxes. or to the ap-
preaching drying UP Of the source
OF revenue and the consequent fail
ure OF the progressive income tax,
or to the destruction of business in
itiative. 1t Is political in theory
1t is impossible in practice"
It Is incredible that the President
was not telling what he believed to
be the truth. He Is dependent, as
are all OF us. in some degree, on the
accuracy of the information sup
piled by the treasury department.
The attacks made upon this depart
ments head and the facts so
brought out arc of kind likely to
increase rather than lessen con-
fidence in Secretary Mellon.
Having taken over the making of
tax law-tax laws must originate
in the Housc-having gone on rec
ord with the claim that there is
money enough to reduce taxes. all
az
the bonus this mongrel-Democratic
body of national lawmakers must
discredit the secretary of the
treasury-or convince the people
that II has done so.
Why Is 1t that whenever the
Democrats come to power cautious
persons take in their cucumbers
overnight so the Democrats won't
extract all the sunshine that's in
them"
Why is that on rare occasions
tho country orders some of this
cucumber sunshine. only to be dis
appointed and tumble over itself to
get back to the original article? /
And. while asking questions, how
many arc going to believe that we
can eat our cake and have 1t. too?
Can spend our money and at the
same time have it In the treasury?
And here is another matter con-
nected with this taxation question.
We arc all agreed that too much
money Is going into taX-exempt
securities. That William Rookie
follers millions invested i'm tax-ex-
empt securities were not put there
with an idea of benefiting the pub
lie. That there Is n great tempta-
ton to extravaganza on the part of
states and municipalities to borrow
money on the exempt bonds
for which there is such ready
market. 1t is very easy TO get all
they want that way and the next
generation is LETT to pay the bill. A
great temptation and many Yield to
II.
IL is so tempting that this same !
Democratic mongrel House only the !
other day voted down the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, to
stop the issue of these in the future /
Now this same House favors a law /
which would drive tho RoCkcfelleIs /
into putting their money into tax
exempt sccuriticst Is this legis- /
lating in the best interests of the |
country's tax payers?
Decidedly it is not. But how !
hoobyfied into believing that it is? /!

duck had an aluminium band around
its right leg which bore a number,
296067, and the information and re-
quest that the u. :. Department of
Agriculture Bureau of Biological
Survey. be communicated with
promptly. Bowen did this. stating
the circumstances in regard to shoot
ing the duck. by giving the date and
the place it was shot. Friday. he re-
Ceived reply from the bird banding
division of the Agricultural Depart
mcnt which informed him that "bIack

Vienna To Have

scrapper have been completed. The
building will be IL stories high and
is to be erected in working class
section.
Proposals to build the skyscraper
met with much resentment at first,
but was defended by city planners as
simple necessity Of postwar times.
High buildings are now being advo-
Gated as one means of solving the
acute housing problem. No dwelling
houses were built during the war and
for several years afterward and, as
ground is scarce, the municipality
is working on plans which call for
some $4,000 flats, many Of which
will be included in buildings from
five to ten stories high.

SAYS LEGION
ISGAINING IN
PUBLIC'S EYE
Adjutant Williams, in Bis
marck with Party, Sees
Growth in Prestige

The attitude of the public is be-
coming more friendly toward the
American Legion, rather than lack
ing in appreciation as the years
from the time of war length, Jack
Williams, state adjutant of the
American Legion, declared here to-
day after a trip with other Legion
officials through the Northern part
of the state. Commander Frank b.
Streeter of Linton, Col. Mollinsen Of
Minneapolis, OF the Veterans Bur-
eau, and w R. Johnson of Fargo, of
the Veterans Bureau, with Mr.. Will
liams, will leave here for Dickins on
where they hold a meeting for Le-
gion men and the public.
I'VE found that the Legion stands
better than ever before in the opin-
ion Of the public" Mr. Williams said.
GAS the aims of the Legion are bet
ter understood and it participates
more in community affairs, Il greater
appreciation of the organization is
shown. We held many district meet
ings at Rugby, Devils Lake, Mlnot,
Bottineau, Langdon, HlllSboro ana
Grafton"
Commander Streeter and Adjutant
Williams, being unable to visit all of
the 230 posts in the state, decided to
hold district meetings at which there
were representatives from many
posts. The membership of the Le-
gion is good throughout the north
ern part of the state, Williams add
ed.
After comforting in Mandan with
officers of the Legion post there on
arrangements for the next state con-
vention, beginning May 30 in Man
dan, the party went on west. They
will return to Bismarck for Il meet
ing sometime in May.
