V0LSTEAD ACT
FAVORS RICH.
SAYSBUTLER
Originally Believed Law ,Ap-
piled to Everybody, But.
Changes His Mind

Oakland, Calf, Jan. 6.-@--
Brig. General Smedley d. Butler, dis
tinguished soldier and foe Of illicit
alcohol, who spent months fighting
graft and Dootleggers as director of
public safety of Philadelphia, has
changed his mind about the Volstead
law.
Speaking before luncheon club
here, the commander of the marines
on the Pacific coast denounced the
prohibition statute as class legisla-
tion, saying it reacted against the
poor man and favored the rich one.
General Butler, who won much
publicity for having the late Colonel
Alexander S. Williams, of the San
Diego Marine Base, court martialled
for serving cocktails at q party at
which the general was the guest of
honor, declared in his address yes
terday that he originally believed the
Volstead act was written to apply to
everybody, but that he has discovered
that such is not the case.
maybe | didn't finish learning to
read before l got into the marine
corps, but I read this fool Volstead
act as intended to apply to every
body" he said.
ut appears, however, that all it
is supposed to do is to keen liquor
away from persons without influence
and doesn't apply at all to those with
influence and the money to pay for
IT,"

DRIVERS OF
DEATH CAR TO
STAND TRIAL
Beth Enter Not Guilty Pleas
to Charges of Manslaugh-
ter at MinOt

Minot, N. d., JAM C.-LP-A plea
Of not guilty to charge of man
slaughter was entered in district
court in Minot this afternoon by
Emmett Brewington of this city, a
co-defcndant of Charles Lyons of
Minneapolis, who yesterday after.
noon also pleaded not guilty. The
two men are charged with man
slaughter in connection with the
death of Mrs. Mildred Wilson of
Minot, who died as result of in
juries sustained when struck by an
automobile alleged to have been oc-
cupied by the two.
Brewington's plea of not guilty
was entered after Judge John C.
Lowe had overruled "a demurrer to
the information alleging that:
: The information does not sub
stlantially conform to the require
ments of the code of criminal pro-
cedure Of the state of North Dakota.
That more than one Offensc is
charged therein.
That the facts stated therein do
not constitute public offense.
Affidavits of prejudice against
Judge Lowe and against the county
were filed by counsel in behalf Of
Brewington, and Judge Lowe an
nounced that he would in a few DAYS
designate the county in which the
case is to be tried.

TAX LEVIES
MUCH HIGHER
THAN IN 1925
Comparative Figures Show
Why Taxes in 1926 Are
More on Same Valuation

Good Morning! Did you get your
tax statement?
No doubt you did, as County Treas
urer G. L.. Spear has mailed to every
taxpayer in Burleigh county within
the last few days statement Of his
1926 taxes, which are now due. And
since mailing, he has had time to do
little else but answer the telephone
and endeavor to explain one burning
question-"Why are my taxes so
much higher this year than last?"
With taxable valuations the same
in 1926 as they were in 1925, which
they are in the case of real estate
since land values are assessed only
once every two years, Bismarck
property owner will pay
$6.18 per thousand dollars of tax
able valuation more this year than
he did last. This, is due to the fact
that the rate in Bismarck for 1926
is 1913 mills, or $53.73 per thousand
dollars of taxable valuation, as com
pared with that Of 47.55 mills, or
$47.55 per thousand dollars of tax
able valuation, in 1925.
State Levy Lowered
The state tax levy for 1926 was
lowered .37 of mill under that for
1926, but the county levy in 1926 was
LIT mills higher The biggest boost
in county levy came in the revenue
fund, which had levy in 1926 of
$40 mills as compared with 2.l3
mills in 1925. The county road fund
levy was boosted from LOG mills in
1926 to l.8O mills in 1926. The levics
for the two years are compared be-
low:
