tons. some Independent groups
lacked the enthusiasm for the
cause SO essential to success.
Probably the tax situation had
direct bearings. The Independents,
in fulfillment Of the pledges they
made prior to their election in
1922, went about the job of equal
izing the tax burden: of reducing
the tax on farm lands and of plac-
ing on certain classes of city and
village property their proportions
ate share of the tax load. Neces-
sarily, railroad property, falling
as it does in the same classification
as farm lands, had to be lowered
in valuation along with the farm
property, and this fact was seized
upon and used to advantage by the
political group opposing Governor
Nestos. Chagrin in the cities and
villages at increased residence pro-
perry tax was reflected, if not in
opposition to the Governor, at
least in the development of an
apathy that is not to be discounted
as it bears upon the reduced vote
in the population centers through
out the whole State-centers where
Independents have had their great
est strength.
On the other hand, the reduction
I of the farm land tax apparently
| was of little or no political benefit
to the Independents, beneticiaries
Of H.
WINGED that they had been placed
upon a more equitable basis as
compared with other groups OF pro-
perty owners.
Another factor is local to Grand
| Forks County, the home of the Nom
partisan League candidate. Nat
urally, Mr.. Sdrlie garaered vote
in Grand Forks that was accorded
him on a purely personal basis.
The other local factors-peeuliar to
Grand Forks and the immediate
territory had their bearing and
influenced votes against the Admin
istration. Probably the fear that
the Mill and Elevator at Grand
Forks would be closed IF the Inde-
pendents won had some effect, and
by reason of all these factors, the
County of Grand Forks, heretofore
one of the bulwarks of Independ-
ent support, dropped to the point
where the Governor had a bare ma
jority as against majorities Of up
wards of 5000 two years ago.
There were other factors: dis
content with conditions generally,
disappointment at the inability of
the State administrator to effect
tax reductions consequential
enough to be reflected in the tax
receipt OF the average person. and
probably others, all of which could
have been discounted had the real
facts been carried to the voters.
So we come back once more t0
the outstanding reason>for the de-
feat of Governor Nestos: the fac,
that politically wearied body o
Independent workers. and voter.

industrialism are no different to

1t all narrows down, little Mar
quise, to our own little sordid per-
sonal vanity. p,.
Alice has been most disagreeable
to me about the pearls. Although
l refused Karl, and she is going to
marry him, and although my having
the pearls was absolutely without
any connivance on my part, and al
though she was the one that made
it possible for me to receive them,
she evidently has persuaded herself
that now that know the. facts of
the case, should give them back
to her.
She sa i'd to me just before l left
New York for home that Karl Whit
ney gathered those pearls together
for his wife.
"But Karl Whitney expected me
to be his wife," answered quietly.
This seemed to make her furious.
"You needn't throw it up to me-"
she said, that you refused him,
| after allowing him to think from the
time you were children together that
you were just as much in love with
him as he was with you and that'I
am his second choice"
This, of course, enraged me and
answered before thought:
II am not so sure What you are
his second choice as that he is your
first choice. You know my dear,
that Bernard Shaw says it is not the
man who makes the choice and asks
the girl to marry him, but the who-
man who makes the choice and per-
suades the man into thinking that
it is he who is in reality choosing
his wife,"

FABLES ON HEALTH
GOING ON PICNICS

constitute an argument against the
picnic, which, staged in new scenes
and bringing the children into new
surroundings, broadens the fields
Of childish imagination and stimu-
lates the play spirit.
For just such reasons they have
excellent psychological effect upon
the elders. even when staged under
more or less trying conditions.
Selection of open country, with
green fields and trees, is of course
preferable if they can be reached.
But, under any circumstances, take
advantage Of the warm days to
get the youngsters on outings-and
get the child play spirit, Yourselves.
