TUCKER WAR RECORD
IS URGED TOFREE Him
After Serving on Forgery Con-
viction, Was Allowed to
Reenter Army

Efforts to free Francis Tucker, con-
victed of Staying Hans Bjone, Verona
banker, have extended to search of
fuckers record as soldier prior to
the time he came to North Dakota.
1t has become known here.
John Magill Of Verona, brother i'm
law Of the convicted man. is leaving
no stone unturned in his effort to
win for Tucker new trial, and he is
confident that another hearing of the
case by a jury will result in an ac-
quittal.
fuckers army record, which was
touched upon at the trial, has been
ascertained by the adjutant generals
office here at Magill's request. It
shows that Tucker served several en-
listments in the army but was con-
victed Of taking $40 and OF forgery
and sentenced to serve two years in
the disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth. That was in 1917.
In 1919 he was discharged from the
barracks and restored to active sery-
ice under his enlistment Of May 8.
1914. and upon the completion Of his
enlistment was given an honorable
discharge from the army with a
character rating Of excellent. Infor-
nation received at the office Of re.
adjutant general here indicates that
Tucker encountered no other serious
difficulties during his severe. enlist
ments as q soldier.
Permission by the sups eme court
to counsel for Tucker to y esent q re-
argument and discovery 1t additional
evidence IS expected to J5e one of the
grounds upon which the supreme
court will be asked to uphold the mo-
ton. The court alresl has approved
the actions Of the court and iury
which convicted Tucker and refused
to grant motion for a new trial.

ELTINGE THEATRE

Echoes of great names that have
come down in the history of the West
are revived in the graphic representa-
tions Of famous characters which
make up the cast of Tide of Empire, !"
Peter B. Kyne's vivid story Of the
California gold rush days, which will
be at the Eltinge Theatre, Friday and
Saturday.
Not only are Wells, Fargo and
other celebrated characters of the
Days of 49, reproduced, by actors
SO startlingly like the originals that It
seems those historical characters
have actually come to life. but many
descendants of those pioneers are
among the actors playing their roles.
The vivid drama. which Allan
Dwan directed, has among its char
acters such celebrities as "Bejabers"
Harmon. jailer and prospector. The
name Harmon Is today perpetuated by
the great Harmon Gymnasium at the
University Of California.
Among the actors in the huge pic
ture are many descendants sof old
Spanish settlers and former gold
seekers. One Of the most interesting
is Buck Cody, who plays q bandit. He
is the son Of Vasquez. the famous
bandit hung In Salinas in 1861 and
Loco Mary" historic character
who is still alive. at the age Of l03.
His name was changed by law.

GOVERNOR THINKING
FOR SILENT BULK OF
PEOPLE AS TO BILLS
Tries to Get Slant of Those
Who Say Nothing as Lobby
Puts Measures Over
REALIZES THEY CAN VOTE
May Exercise Veto Power, on
Some Legislation it He
Feels Il Unapr.oved

/
hill, state officials have not forgot
ten the legislature 50 soon. The 60
day visit Of the lawmakers has left
varying reactions among the state
officeholders and employees.
Some are breathing easier just as
the traditional husband with the ira
ditional sort Of mother r-in-law is sup
posed to do. These feel that the
legislature may have been kinder to
them than the legislature saw fit to
be.
Others meant 1t when they told the
lawmakers they would be welcome
when they come again. To these the
solons were kind and generous, Just
as the traditional long-lost rich uncle
is supposed to have an inclination
toward large-heartedness.
The principal interest, however, is
Centered on the actions Of Governor
George F. Shafer. The executive can
not enact laws but he can keep some
which have been enacted from be-
coming laws, and indications are that
he will exercise that right. He IS not
expected to approach the record of
% vetoes set by Governor A. G. Sor-
lie ct the close of the preceding reg
ular session. but almost any bill
which he vetoes will mean distress to
someone.
The governors views were fairly
well known to the legislators while
they were in session, however, and in
those cases where the legislators
strayed too far from the executives
ideas, some reproof may be expected.
One suggestion which Mr.. Shafer
Is known to have conveyed to the
legislators from time to time is that
the great bulk Of the people who
elect legislators and public officials
and who make and break political
parties and factions, Is not as artic-
ulate as those persons who appear
during the sessions demanding legiS-
lative favor. The inference was that
the siren wiles Of the lobbyists should
fall on deaf ears and the legislators
should guide themselves by their own
ideas Of the needs Of the common
wealth.
The executive is known to be diff
dent about setting his judgment
against that Of 40 senator's and 1l3
representatives. or at least against
majority Of these senators and rep
resentatives. In the event that he
feels strongly enough. however. Gov
ernor Shafer has made 1t clear that
he will follow his own judgment and
WELD the eYecutive NY
The governor is making careful
study Of each bill before he approves
or vetoes 1t and is giving virtually
all Of his time to this task. He ex-
poets to finish 1t within the next
week and will then be free to turn
his attention to the other details Of
putting his administrative policies in
to operation.

gain the annual income tax OH in
come itself as to share in the pro-
cceds OF property sold by retiring
residents quitting business, profess
sions and investments in the state.
A hypothetical case taken by the
tax commissioners office to illustrate
the operation Of the law assumed a
taxpayer having been so prosperous
as to have accumulated property that
would pay $1,000 year In income
tax. On the sale OF this hypothetical
property. the state under the amnded
law would be able to collect $4,000.
Now, a taxpayer might not object to
paying 81, 900 a year for 18 years out
OF income from this property. but he
would. very likely, exceedingly like to
escape the payment Of $4,000 out Of
the capital he had accumulated. as
In the supposed levy on the proceeds
Of general sale Of his holdings, to
retire. say. to California.
The effect Of this new law. there
fore, 1t is argued at the tax commits
sioner's office Is to retain capital in
the state and in activity. An owner
Of the hypothetical property would
very likely prefer to continue in busi-
ness rather than sell out and subject
himself to such lump tax out of the
procceds-not income in this casc-as
has been taken for illustration.
Newcomers Subject on Day Only
Newcomers In the state also are
subject to the income tax Anyone in
North Dakota on the final day of the
tax year-December 31-thc ruling is.
is subject to the tax. even though the
income on which the tax is levied was
to within few weeks. or even few
days. earned in another state. Any
body coming In Christmas and be-
coming resident OF North Dakota
automatically becomes subject to the
tax. The argument is that he ~ or
others like him-might leave the state
in another year Just before the tax
becomes due and thus subject the
state to the loss of years levy. The
result OF this system. 1t Is stated. is
that the newcomers and the outgoers
about offset each other. It was ad-
mitted that the system is not at all
popular and causes great deal of
irritation to newcomers.

Taxes mean nothing in the lives of
