State General Fund
Half of 1928 Mark

When members of the state board
Of equalization set the state tax rate
for 1929 within the next few weeks
they will take into consideration a
reduction in the balance in the state
general fund of some 100000, &C.

Stems records show a balance on
August Is of about $693, 900, COM
pared with a balance of 81 ,079, 851.52
at the same time last year. Failure
Of the board of equalization to levy
enough taxes to meet half the BIZ
ennial appropriations made by the
legislature caused the reduction,
Steen said. His figures show that
the state spent this year 1888, 900
more than it collected. Failure Of
miscellaneous collections to come up
to expectations was one cause Of the
reduction in the surplus.
The state government has been
paying cash and discounting it's bills
since April, 1925, when it paid of

Of the state board Of equalization,

Secretary of State and Cana.
dian Premier Arrive for
Pact Signing

Paris, Aug. 24.-(AP)-Secretary
Of State Kellogg arrived in Paris to-
day to participate in the signing Of
his renunciation-of-war treaty on
Monday. He was accompanied by
Premier Mackenzie King Of Canada,
who made the voyage to France
aboard the We de France, which
landed at Havre this morning.
With the arrival Of the American
secretary Of state, plans for the his.
toric ceremony on Monday got into
full swing. The representatives Of
the Is states which will sign the
treaty are steadily arriving, and
numerous welcomes were the order
Of the day. Peace enthusiasts,
woman's rights proponents, and spe-
cialists in international political
speculation were busy all day.
The arrival Of Mr.. Kellogg was in
marked contrast with the fanfare Of
newspaper comment with which the
newspapers had heralded his coming.
He reached Paris three-quarters Of
an hour before the announced time,
as a police precaution to avoid any
possible hostile demonstration by
communists and other extremists in
remembrance Of Sacco and Vanzetti,
or on general principles.
Count Uchida First
Although most of the attention
naturally centered upon Secretary
Kellogg, Count Uchida of Japan was
the first to arrive in Paris for the
signing, reaching here at dawn. B

quently was the busiest man in

enviable record when each club in
North Dakota was represented at the

STATE BUDGET
BOARD MEETS
Expenditures and Sources Of
Income to Be Considered
This Fall

Data covering all phases Of the
states expenditures and sources Of
income will be available when the
state budget board meets late this
fall.
The bulge. board is one of the
most influential bodies in the state
government-and one of the short
est-lived. It investigates the opera
tions Of state institutions and depart
ments and their need for money.
Every two years, just before the
legislature meets, the budget board
assemblies and examines the finan-
cial record. It's members usually
visit the state institutions and de-
termine what appropriation should
be made for each institution for the
ensuing biennium. These recon-
mendations are presented to the leg
islature, and usually are considered
to have considerable weight. Even
the most influential legislators con-
slider it job to overturn q recon-
mendation Of the budget board. 1t
is done at each session with egard
to some items but these are few and
far between and the usual habit Of
the legislature is to accept with res
rect the budget boards recommend
ations.
Members of the board are the gov
ernor, attorney general, state audi
tor and the chairmen of the house
and senate appropriations commit
tees.
Figures prepared by State Auditor
John Steen show the appropriation
for each state department or institu-
ton over a period Of years, its in
come from sources other than ap-
preparations and such other data as
the board may need for arriving at q
conclusion as to their needs.

NOLSTEAD SAYS
SMITH APPEALS
FOR WET VOTES
Author Of Prohibition Enforce.
ment Law Says AL Favors
Saloon

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 24.-R'-
Governor Alfred e. Smiths advo-
racy Of modification Of the dry laws
IN his acceptance speech. was crit
cised last night by Andrew Vol
stead, author Of the prohibition en-
eorcement law.
Mr.. Volstead said the Democratic
presidential candidate avoided his
party's ISIS es in dealing with the Ii
uuor situation and said the governor
"purposely seeks to become the can
iidcte of the liquor interests"
In his statement Mr.. Volstead
said:
"In his dealings with the liquor
question, Governor Smith goes out
side the issues as made by his party.
He plainly does this for the purpose
Of appealing to the vets SO as to
obtain their support. He purposely
seeks to become the candidate Of the
liquor interests. Every organiza-
ton against prohibition will support
him.
"They are too shrewI to be scared
BY any protestation of the governor
that he is opposed to the saloon.
They know that the policy that he
has advocated will in the end re-
store the liquor traffic if the scheme
be suggests is adopted.
"The promise Of Mr.. Smith to en-
force the prohibition law and the
eighteenth amendment is no more
sacred than the oath he took to en-
force the eighteenth amendment
when he became governor Of New
York. He approved the bill to re-
peal the liquor avs of New York
Tor the enforcement of that amend
Ynent, and has, so far as am aware,
never recommended any other law
to the New York legislature for its
enforcement.
1T is as much the duty Of the
state and its governor to enforce the
eighteenth amendment as it is that
Of the National government. Every
4overnor st swear to support 1t
and it was plain his duty to recon-
mend to the legislature that some
suitable law be passed to enforce it.
One Of the real difficulties in en-.
forcing prohibition has been the lack
Of enforcement in the state OF New
York, as large quantities Of illegal
LIQUOR have come from that state
Into other states.
"Fis complaint against lawless'
ness cannot with good grace come
from q person who is so largely re-
eponsible for the condition Of which
As complains. Had he vetoed thu
bill repeating the liquor laws o.
New York and done his duty in en-
forcing them there would have beer
much less occasion for his complaint
Ellis proposition to have a scien
tific investigation Of the quantity o
alcohol that liquor may contain t.
be intoxicating is joke. Any on
who knows enough to get in when j
rains knows that such thing is i'm
possible. One person may drink
pint Of whiskey without showing an
intoxicating effect while anothe
will stagger after drinking an ~
binary whiskey glass full"

speculation for the advance, such as

KIWANIS HEAD
URGES VOTING
Is Essential of Good Citizen
ship, Governor Tells Con.
vention

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 24.-LR-
Members Of Kiwanis clubs in the
Northwest today were urged by
Jerry H. hammers Of Washington
Springs, S. D., governor of the Min
nesota- Dakotas district, to make q
real effort to get out the vote this
fall.
Addressing the annual district con-
vention, hammers stressed voting
and encouraging others to vote rs
one of the essentials Of good citizen
ship and in line with the primary OBJ
jective Of Kiwanis clubs. This, he
said, is to promote intelligent, ag-
gressive and serviceable citizenship
in their respective communities.
ut has been suggested that one
way to further this objective is to
secure a universal use of the fran
chisc at all elections" hammers said.
"A study of this problem discloses
some startling facts. In 1890 about
80 per cent of the electors voted; in
1912 about go per cent and in 1924
only so per cent. A government
ruled by a minority is no longer a
republican form of government. Such
a government is in danger.
Arouse Public Interest
eve are now in the midst Of an
other presidential election year.
What will be the response Of XII
wants to the existing problems It
strikes squarely at one of the major
detectives Of Kiwanis. Every club
in the district should be active from
now until the election in arousing
the public to exercise the right and
privilege to vote. If the detectives
Of Kiwanis mean anything, then con-
certed action should be taken to get
out the votes. This convention
should 60 on record in no uncertain
terms as to the duty Of every citi-
zen at the polls.
"The problem Of good citizenship
will not, however, be entirely solved
by yetting the public to vote. Proper
training Of our youth cannot be over
emphasized. Adequate instruction in
all schools Of the fundamental prin-
ciples of government is essential.
One of the strongest forces in the
district that is promoting a better
citizenship is the Young Citizens
league. Kiwanians should acquaint
themselves with the wonderful work
this organization is doing. The aims
and detectives Of this organization
dovetail with the citizenship objec-
tive Of Kiwanis.
Urges Home Training
"Kiwanians should not rest with
the work done in the schools and
organizations, however. The prob.
lem should be carried into the
home. There has been a tendency in
recent years to leave the rearing and
