The amendment was urged by the
real estate boards, agricultural in

Federal State and local tax systems
extending over a period of years.
In making a statement of certain
definite principles which apply to
State tax situations generally the
national association in platform
adopted in January of 1926 pointed
out that "the greatest obstacle that
exists to the remedies needed lies
in the ironclad provisions of the con-
stitutions Of the several States, most
of them exceedingly Anticipated.
During the year which has passed
since the adoption of this recommen
dalton a number of States have en-
tirely revamped and modernized their
State tax systems. Virginia, for ex-

N. D. Supt. of Public In
struction Ignores Vote of
Marmarth Citizens

Special to the Producers News.
Marmarth, N. D., Nov. 21.-A very
peculiar situation has arisen in the
high school of this city. For the past
two terms Prof. McPhenery of Min
nesota has been principal of the high
school here. There is a law in this
state where a non-reident must have
permit from the State Supt. of Pub
lie Instruction before he or she as the
case may be can teach school in North
Dakota. 1t appears that Mr.. McPhen-
cry had gotten himself into the bad
] graces of a local banker and a very
small parcel of citizens of Marmarth,
who induced Bertha R. Palmer, Supt.
of Public instruction, not to sign Mr..
McPhenery's permit and bar him
from teaching in the Marmarth
i school.
The action of Mr.. Johnston, the
banker and fifteen of his purity suuaC
so enraged the majority of the citi
zens of the city of Marmarth that
petition was circulated for the rein
statement of Mr.. McPhenery whicl
/ resulted in 254 for and 16 agains
, reinstatement. The 254 taxpayers o
. the city of Marmarth then sent Il
' kilograms to the Superintendent O
I Public instruction asking her to sig
a Mr. McPhenery's permit to teach
Y They received in return a telegrar
: from Bertha R. Palmer, Supt. of Pull
: lie instruction, which read: "Do No
!. worry, I will not sign"
o 1t appears that Mr. McPhenerv ha
a incurred the displeasures of a few {
IS the citizens Of Marmarth because {
his progressive ideas in politics.
j. Bertha r. Palmer, the present s.
It perintendent of Public Instruction
< North Dakota, was one out of Il
X three candidates who was lucky
slip into office on the IVA ticket
the 1926 election. She has heretofo
travelled all over the state on cburc
temperance and welfare work and +
&c citizens of Marmarth expected
o. square deal from a woman of III
Ye calibre.
"a Mr. McPhenery is a man of sple
De- did character, has very high edu,
.at tional attainments. He was We
popular with the majority of the ii
be zens of Marmarth and it is to
he hoped that the taxpayres of this 2
as will be able to get an adjustment
