CHARGE
 AGAINST JACKSON
Officers Claim Wholesale Dope Peddler Is
 In Custody

In the arrest Tuesday night of T. l.. Jackson, who claims Meridian, Miss, as his home, Birmingham police and federal narcotic agents believe they have jailed one of the cleverest ''dope" smugglers in the state. When taken into custody after his actions had been closely watched flor two months, Jack son had morphine worth $200 at curb prices in his automobile, according to City Detective Hubbard and Narcotic Inspectors Camp, Leech and Sheegood.
 Several times lately the officers had set trap for Jackson, but he stepped on the gas" and escaped. Once he mar rowly escaped with his life when the officers fired several volleys through his car.
 Jackson was. on Huntsville avenue Tuesday night, in the act of alighting from his machine when the officers sighted him. They say he was trying to effect a delivery of morphine. A search revealed 60 grains of the con traband, Hubbard reported at police headquarters. Jackson's car was con- fiscsted and steps to condemn it will be taken by federal authorities.
 Inspector Camp said Jackson is a wholesale dealer in narcotics and is re- sponsible for much of the dope" that reaches Birmingham from the coast. When arrested he had $500 on his per son, which the agents charge he had collected from recent sales. He will be given a preliminary hearing by the federal commissioner at once, accord ing to the agents.

MADDOX MYSTERY IS ACCENTUATED
 BY BROKEN DATE
Missing Clerk Reported Seen But Fails To
 Keep Appointment

Failure to keep an appointment Tuesday afternoon with officials of the Cudahy Packing company, by which he was employed, served to deepen the mystery surrounding Elmer Maddox, Jr., 23-year-old cashier of the com pany's local branch, who suddenly dis appeared last Thursday night.
 Maddox appointment with officials of the company was made through Lee Jones, a fellow-employe, who reported early Tuesday morning that Maddox had 'reappeared and spent the night at his home. No explanation was made by Maddox, according to T. A. Riley and B. F. Hubbard, city detectives, who dropped their work on the case following reports that Maddox had put in an appearance after four-day ab- Sence.
 Appointment with his superiors was set for 3 o'clock by Maddox, officials of the company said Tuesday night. Af- ter awaiting his arrival without result for two hours, they said, hope of his appearance during the afternoon was abandoned.
 Makes Appointment.
 So far as could be learned Tuesday night at police headquarters, Maddox had not been seen Tuesday by any persons other than Jones. Cudahy of- ficials say Jones reported to them Tuesday morning2that Maddox had come to his home about I 80 o'clock Tues day morning and awakened him. He spent the night there, Jones is re- ported to have said, and walked to the street car line with him Tuesday morning. During their walk Maddox is said to have asked Jones to arrange meeting between himself and his em- ployers, requesting that the time be set at o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 / Although a superficial examination of Maddox books has failed to indi- cate any discrepancy in his accounts, skilled auditors from the home office of the concern in Chicago have been brought to Birmingham to make a thorough check of the books since Mad dox assumed the position of cashier.
 Mrs. Elmer Maddox, Sr., mother of the missing man, was reported to have left Mobile Monday night for Birming- ham, but police said Tuesday night they had not learned of her arrival.
 Theory of foul play in connection with the disappearance of Maddox was abandoned Monday by the detectives who had investigated the case. Two women and man, reported to have been on party with the missing man the night preceding his were released from the city jail Monday after being held for 
 Possibility that the detectives again will be called in on the case was rum Ored Tuesday night as Maddo:: con- tinued to remain away from his office.

this experiment in the milling industry together with the

for county purposes in 1923 was

Gus.
Now who is responsible for this
shifting OF the tax burden away
from the farmers land? It was the
1923 session of the state legisla-
ture, in which the Independents
had lhajorities in both houses, and
which revised the state tax laws So
as to cut the taxable value of farm
lands about 25 per cent and thus
removing a part at least OF the
financial load from the farmers
backs.
Certainly no sane man in North
Dakota will deny that under the
conditions which have prevailed
during the last two years it Is the
farming class which is in the great
est need of having the financial
load lightened. This was the view
taken of the matter by the indie
pendent legislators at the last SEES
sion, and was the cause of the re-
vision of the tax laws which had
been passed by the NonpartisaE
league, and which whatever their

Editorial Review
THE TAX BURDEN

Much has been said and written
during the last few months re-
garding the taxation situation in
North Dakota. Those who are op-
posed to the present state admins
tration have been especially active
in charging that administration
with adding unduly to the tax bur-
dens OF the people. Under these
circumstances a comparison of the
tax situation in Frand Forks coun-
ty in 1922 and 1923 may prove Of
interest, bearing in mind that by
no stretch of the imagination can
the Nestos administration be held
responsible for the 1922 taxes
which were assessed under the
laws passed by the Nonpartisan
administration of previous years.
Here is what we find: In 1922
state taxes levied I'M Grand Forks

1929 these were cut to $191,5S9, a
