PAULS0N WITH
H. HALV0RS0N
Candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor
Together

.Cooperstown,o N. D., Sept. 10
John E. Paulson, former Republi-
can state senator from Trail coun-
ty, joined hands with Halvor Hal
vCrson in the state campaign, and
appeared on the platform in Coop
erstown last evening as the fusion
candidate for governor carried his
campaign into one Of the strongest
league counties Of the state.
Mr.. Halvorson, in his talk here
stressed the vital necessity for the
prosecution of state policy that
will bring about diminishing bud
get of taxation, as against the
adoption Of policy of industrial
expansion that can result only in
increasing the tax burden.
Using the figures issued from
Bismarck this week, showing that
the state must levy million dol
lars this year to meet interest pay
ments and to begin the laying up
Of funds to meet the principal of
outstanding industrial bond issues,
Mr.. Halvorson urged that the cleo
ton of the Nonpartisan league
state ticket pledged as it is to the
expansion of the industrial pro-
gram, can result only in greatly
increasing the annual interest bill.
.Tax reduction is essential to
our property owners" said Mr.
Halvorson, land it is extremely
important that we guard against
taking any step that will result
only in increasing taxation"

HEALTH CLINIC
RETURNS SOON
FROM IT'S TRIP

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 19.--The
health clinic Of the North Dakota
Anti Tuberculosis association, which
has been working all summer in parts
of the state where there is little
medical service will complete it's
work in short time, according to
DR.. J. Grassick, who returned We'd
nesday from McHenry county where
the clinic is now working.
DR.. L.. o. Simenstad Of Grand
Forks, assisted by Miss Edna Cal
Their, field worker for the associa-
ton, has been working in McHenry
county for the last few weeks. The
citizens Of the county are largely de-
pendent on outside medical atten-
ton, DR.. Grassick says, and through
their splendid sale of Christmas seals
they have earned the services of the
clinic.
Districts in southwestern North
Dakota have already been worked
blythe clinic and in some sections
they found conditions quite bad they
report. They have been aided greatly
inT-their work in the different coun-
ties by the county superintendent of
schools and the county nurse.

BONUS CLAIMS
AREPURCHASED
200 Handled in First Batch in
Process of Completion

Two hundred assignments of SOL
der bonus claims are in the process
of completion for sale to the state
industrial commission, under the
plan recently announced of enabling
ex-service men to reduce to cash
their certificates which in the or
binary course of events would be
paid at some future date as the sol
der bonus tax is collected, it was
announced by r. ID. Hoskins, of the
Adjutant- Generals office, today.
The rnpidity with which ex-service
men have sought information con-
corning the industrial commissions
plan for purchasing the bonus certi-
fcates has caused members of the
commission to believe that the ma or
ity of ~ mer service men will avail
themselves of the opportunity to con-
vert their certificates in the cash.
The industrial commission to pur-
chase certificates, borrowed money
from an eastern financial house, and
offers to purchase the certificates
from the former service men at dis
counts calculated to yield enough to
pay the interest on money borrowed.
The rate of discount increases with
the higher numbers of certificates,
since some Of them may not be paid
for years.
Service men arb being informed
by the Adjutant- Generals office that
it is necessary for them to send in
their original discharge or lieu
certificate issued by the War De-
partment, before the bonus sale can
be completed in each case.
