fifth annual session unanimously
condemns the initiated measure for
The reduction Of taxes, commonly
called the Gunderson bill, for the
following reasons:
/. The census shows that North
Dakota has a larger percentage of
children in proportion to population
than any other northern state and
that 1t has been exceeded only by
two southern states.
>. The population of state
largely determines its land values.
Land values cannot be maintained
by such an educational policy, as
must result from the Gunderson
bill.
). Without proper educmtio
facilities, families with children will
leave the state and others will be
deferred from taking their places.
4. The proposed measure will
save the average taxpayer little nor
will the absent land owners save in
the end.
3. The Mothers reason: "Savinr
my children is more important to
me than lowering your taxes"
The resolution was drawn up by
members Of the committee on reso-
lutions: Mrs. +. A. Stoffel, Mrs. c.

PILLAR STAYS, FOR TOWN is AFRAID
TO MOVE.IT
BY NEA Service

Augusta, Ca, Oct. 3O.-For 4t
years an old pillar has stood in the
middle of the sidewalk on one of
the main streets here, just because
people have been afraid to move it.
Hundreds walk around it daily.
| The day before the tornado of
1873, an itinerant preacher address,
ing a meeting in front of the old
market house, predicted the build
ing would be destroyed by a cyclone.
Only one of the big concrete pill
lars supporting it, he said, would be
left standing. And any attempt to
move it, he warned, would be fatal.
The person who tried it will be
struck by lightning.
The cyclone came the next day.
1t razed the market house lust as
the preacher had predicted. One
pillar alone remained.
Later in the year a street was cut
through where the market formerly
had stood. When it was found it
would he necessary to move the
pillar, considerable difficulty was
experienced in getting men who were
willing to undertake the job. Fin.
ally a few were found.
Nothing happened until they had
gone about 25 feet with the old post.
Then a terrific explosion was heard.
1t later developed practical joker
had touched off giant firecracker.
But the pillar never was moved
any further. 1t was set up just
where it had fallen. The sidewalk
was built around it.
Ever since Augusta residents have
been walking around the "pillar with
curse"
