NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Fandom
paused on the crest of seething foot
ball sea today to record new triumphs
for pessimism as factor of growing
power In shaping the seasons sport re-
suits.
Time was when modesty, steeled to
quiet courage, had been the lion TN
the field of play. That period be-
gan to pass out more than a decade
ago, giving place to the athlete of out
spoken optimism with the advent of
the confident Joie Ray on the track
the frank Benny Kauff on the dia
mond, the positive young Vincent
Richards at the net. With them en-
tered the ballyhoo of pugilism and n
demand from the growing athletic au-
dience for the intimate, breezy inter
view.
1t remained for cloudy coaching
countenance to frame new order of
things. For Gil Dobie has appar-
emily ushered in an era Of pessimism,
and his spirit has spread with alarm
ing rapidity and direful results in the
last few weeks.

Football accepted the frank predic.
tons of Dobie with grins. Gil could

coach in the game. For Dobie teams

Dobian sorrow. Notre Dame would

Rockne, unlike Dobie. was not false
prophet. Notre Dame was not only
beaten; the title-holders of 1924 were
routed.

BAD NEWS FOR EXPERTS.

But news that the law is to be
simplificd will not De joyfully received
by n big group of tax accountants,
who have found as many avenues OF
escape in the income tax law as there
are in q sponge.
One accountant here is reported to
have received check for $175,O0O
recently from a corporation for ad-
vising it on how 90 obtain the maxi
mum in deductions allowed.
A member Of the ways and means
committee, Mr.. broadway said that
even members of Congress who helped
draft the income tax law, find it nee
essary to have help in filing their re-
turns. He said:
Every year the treasury depart
ment furnishes experts to help con-
gressmen make out their returns.
When those who draft the law don't
know what it is all about, how can
we expect the average business man
to grasp il? .
"Simplification Of the tax law would
discourage the parade of accountants
into and out of the internal revenue
bureau. They obtain employment in
the bureau long enough to become ia
miliar with the work on the inside--a
year or so-and then establish them
selves as tax experts and advise cor
porations how to pay the least possible
taxcS I"

WASHINGTON, Nov. ZAP
pointment of a commission to sim
plify the federal income tax law 80
it will not be necessary for the aver
age taxpayer to hire an expert ac-
countant or lawyer to help prepare
his return, will be urged in Congress
by Representative Treadway, Repre-
sentative of Massachusetts, and 9TH
ers, it was revealed today.
Accountants who specialize in re-
vealing TO corporations and wealthy
individuals loopholcs that afford them
avenues for escaping taxes, will find
this highly-lucrativc field Of employ
ment curtailed considerably, if the
language of the law is simplified, OBJ
served Mr.. Treadway.

FAVOR SIMPLIFICATION.

No more brain somersaults and
painful writing over that income tax
return, is the motto adopted by the
Treadway forces.
The United States Chamber OF
Commerce also wants to see the
phraseology of the law made simple.
The House ways and means commit
tee also is considering incorporating
in the new revenue bill a provision
for an unpaid commission to advise
Congress on how the phraseology OF
the law may be made more ineligible
to the taxpayers.
Simplification Of the language
would see the treasury department
throw in the wastebasket raft of
rules and regulations that had TO be
formulated as n result of the complex
ity of the law.

lieve the pressure" can be maintain

The herculean task confronting the
irreconcilables in overcoming the
odds against them was emphasized
today by a count of noses-sin the

Poll FavOrs Court.
A poll taken on this, the second day
of the long struggle, disclosed that
the proponents of the court have GO
votes they can count on as a mini

necessary to vote adherence.
The count showed 80 republicans
and 80 democrats for the court on the
Harding Coolidge terms, 6 re

and far-reaching reservations are at
tached; Z republicans, democrats
and 1 farmer-laborite, against the

commission, state or national, fixing
price on transportation, telephone
service, electric light service, street
railway service. 1t is the same prin-
ciple involved in the Federal Reserve
Banking Act giving the Federal Re
serve Banks power to fix the redis-
count rate, the price of money and
credit so necessary to industry and
agriculture. This principle is invclv-
ed in the law creating the Tariff Com
mission, giving the American manu-
facturer a protection of a tariff fixed
by the commission and based on the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad thereby eliminating
foreign competition fer the manufac-
turer and permitting him to charge
an American price.
The purpose of this bill is to fix an
American price for the American far
mer and place him on a Level with
the other industries. This is follow
ing a long established special privi-
lege class legislation program and as
long as it is an established policy we
must carry it cut to its ultimate con-
clusion and gave the same treatment
to every industry or else we must
reverse this old policy and repeal the
special privilege legislation that has
been given to transportation, to in
dustry, and to banking.

meet the immediate needs Of the
farmers.
It is affirmed in the enunciation OF
principles, that both the capitalist
parties are so corrupt, that 1t IS
mere folly to expect any action for
the farmers and workers from those
degenerate quarters; only a Farmer
Labor party controlled by the produc-
ers "and imposing a severe dlscl-
pline" can be made to serve the VIII
of the farmers and workers.
Among other things the platform
declares for:
(a) The continuation of the Bank
of North Dakota as a peoples bank
and the establishment Of branch
banks in every county upon the ma
jority vote Of the county.
(b) Development of the Mill and
Elevator Association by the Industrial
Commission.
(c) For a Terminal Market.
Id Gradual abolition of crop
liens and restriction of chattel mort
cages.
(e) While approaching the heroic
efforts of the individualist group in
Congress, it recognizes that they are
futile and speaks out for collective
effort under party control and disci-
pline.
IL Abolition of injunctions in la
Dor disputes.
It is to be noted in this connection
that the idea of discipline" is we'll
rooted both in the platform and in the
minds of the farmers and workers of
this state.
On national and international ques-
tons the platform says among other
things:
~ For naturalization of rail
roads.
~ Repeal of Esch-Cummins law.
81 Naturalization of water pow
er of the nation.
"a Revision of Versailles treaty
(5) For a foreign policy based up
on the unity Of nations instead OF
war.
(6) Against CONSUMPTION.
| (7) Denounces policy of imperial
ism pursued by the Government as
dangerous to the best interests of the
nation.
1t was the consensus Of opinion
among the leaders Of the movement
that organization work would pro
coed at once, to organize the whole
state into a compact mass organiza
tion. Many districts demanded sucf
organization work at once.
Upon the conclusion of the work OF
the Conference, the delegates present
of the National Farmer-Labor party
were called upon to address the Con
I ference.
William Bouck of Washington was
enthusiastically received and sale
among other things as follows:
/ 81 bring to you the fraternal greet
ings of my organization. We are glaC
to welcome you into the fold where
you belong. You farmers Of NORTH

TODAY YOU have taken a step that will
hearten and encourage the move
ment everywhere"
Senator Taylor of Montana declar-
ed:
1.-THE Montana Farmer-Labor party
realizes the great significance of your
action here today. It means that you
have injected a new and vital stimuli
US into the Farmer-L.abcr parties of
Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana
and the entire Northwest.
"When we crystalline our efforts
against Capitalism into our own class
party, we are we'll on the road to
victory. 1t may not be a quick enc
However, it is sure and certain, be-
cause our actions are solidly based
upon our field of organization. The
Montana movement bespeaks for you
great success. We are glad to ex-
tend the fraternal hand Of brother
hood"
Tom Ayres of South Dakota as
serted "that your action here makes
it possible for US to build a strong
Farmer-Labor party. Now that yoU
have definitely cut the cords which
bound you to the Capitalist parties
the argument that the Farmers Of
North Dakota have no Farner-Labol
party falls to pieces and cannot acf
against US in the future. It's great
step you have taken"
J. G. Soltis of Minnesota, said:
Society is divided by two classes

There are two sections which com
prise the producers. The first is the
farmers, the second, the workers

pointment and in losing to Rankin he
is defeated by a former state attor-
ney general with whom he clashed
over matters pertaining to prohibi-
ton enforcement.
Much In Public Eye
Few federal prosecutors have been
more in the public eye than has Stat
terry during his four and a half years
tenure. -Four cases which he tried
during his term were of national i'm
terest. These were the 0. H. P.
Shelley, Noble-Peters, Senator Wheel
or and Gordon Campbell cases, all of
which held front page position thru
out the country when they were on
trial. Mr.. Slattery's home is at Glas-
gov, where he practiced law fer some
time before he was elected county at
tOrney of Valley county. He then
was elected to the State Senate and
In 1921 was appointed United States
attorney for the district of Montana.
Rankin Native Son
Mr.. Rankin is a native Of Montana
and has long been a figure in Montana
republican politics. His sister, Miss
Jeanette Rankin, was the first
woman elected to congress. Rankin
was elected attorney general of Mon
tana in 1920 and in 1922 and "a was
a candidate for the party nomination
for United States Senator. His term
as attorney general would have ex-
pired Jan. I, 1925, but several months
before that date he resigned and was
appointed by former Governor J. M.
Dixon to fill a vacancy on the state
supreme court bench caused by the
resignation of Associate Justice
Charles Cooper. His term as associ-
ate justice expired enc year ago and
since then he has been practicing law
in Helena.
Didn't Trust Dixon
Holding Office during the Dixon ad-
ministration, Rankin was the central
figure many times in heated contro-
versies growing out of disagreements
with the then chief executive. One
Of the memorable incidents arising
between Dixon and Rankin occurred
at the time of Rankin's appointment
to the Supreme bench. Rankin and
Cooper prepared and executed their
respective designations, but declined
to submit them to the governor until
he had signed and delivered Rankin's
appointment to the bench.

basis in the political soil of the farm
ers. It is but a sharoW OF Its form
er self, if indeed it is that. 1t is
strange, to say the least, that those
very politicians who, only a few
years ago fought the League with all
their might, today pretend a tender
sOlicitude for its welfare. 1t is be-
cause the League no longer means
anything to the farmers but provides
the republican, the capitalist politi-
clan, with a field to maneuver with
the farmers into the capitalist par
ties. This contradiction is clear to
every politically conscious farmer. 1t
can be said clearly today that strict
ly speaking there does not exist the
Non-partisan League in any single
state, where formerly it functiOned.
By this statement / do not wish to
detract from the immense cOntribu-
ton that the League made toward
the awakening of the farmers to their
social and economic interests. That
is admitted on all sides. But new
times demand new manners. The
North Dakota farmers are IN motion.
Pie Counter Artists In Opposition.
The only opposition to the launch
ing of the Farmer-Labcr party came
from a group of professional pie
counter artists, who, on instructions
from Sorlie & Co. invaded the con-
ference for the purpose of stamped
ing it away from its announced aim.
However, while Dad Walker of Oliver
county, the grand old veteran Of the
farmers movement in this state, who
was chairman of the Conference, per
mitted that unholy tribe to vent its
spleen against the farmers idea, he
firmly stepped on them insofar as
they actually tried to get away with
something.
The opposition was lead by Sena-
tor Argast from the start. He was
assisted by Roy Frazier, whose recent
antics with the farmers are very
shady to say the least. When, how
ever, Roy Frazier saw that the rank
and file was in no mood to listen to
his mental trash, he withdrew from
the fray. Olsness was lined up with
the plum hunting outfit.
Being devoid of the moral courage
to make a frontal attack on the
Farmer-Labor party idea, the capital
list politicians clcaked their opposi-
ton with the theory that the whole
question should first be discussed
from the standpoint of the advisable
ty of taking the proposed step. In
other words, as expert parliamentary
ans, they hoped to talk the Confer
ence to death and stall for time
Their cleveness was only apparent
not real. They were licked.
In a magnificent speech flashing
with the fire of a crusader, Bill Lemke
pointed out that had a Farmer-Laboi
party existed in 1918. 1920, 1922 arc
1924, and the League strength con-
centrated therein, the political power
of the state would be in the hands
of the producing class. His speech
/ fiattened the peanut politicians into &
pancake. Lemke's blow hurled the
takers to the floor.
A splendid platform and declara-
ton of principles were adopted, which

proved this fact by reading the horo-
scope of Mr. Hole. After the pros
gram the hall was cleared and every
body danced until about 200 o'clock
in the morning.
The Annual Banquet given by the
Reserve Commercial Club, which in
other words is a community gather
ing, is looked forward to with a great
deal of pleasure by the residents of
that community and the gathering
last Saturday evening came up to the
expectations eff all of the eighty per-
sons present, who left for their homes
hoping to be able to enjoy another
such event next year.
