what army programs car be spread

Not at all. Mr.. Kositzky, but We do feel that you might have
been a little more honest and fair with the people Of Bismarck.
So Ended the Interview
Take your choice, Mr.. Voter-Whom do you want to believe?
The American Legion is composed Of men who fought for
America during the World War. An honorable discharge from
the United States military service is the only requirement for mem
bership., 1t is composed Of men whom you know and who live in
Bismarck. work in Bismarck and PAY TAXES in Bismarck. The
American Legion has 1927 members in the Bismarck post. Some
of them are heavy taxpayers. Many own their homes. Members
Of the Bismarck Legion post pay 100 times more taxes than resi-
dent members OF the Bismarck Taxpayers association. Who rep
resents. the Bismarck taxpayers, MI. Average Voter? Whom do
you believe? There can be only one answer.
Mr. Kositzky has been on the public payroll for 25 years. Dur
ing that time he has collected $4,000 in salary and expenses. It
was paid by the taxpayers. He is an experienced politician. versed
in the practices of political strategy.
Members OF the American Legion are average citizens. They
are not politicians but they do BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH.
inese statements are made in all charity and with strict regard
Tor the truth. The people of Bismarck are entitled to the facts.
When they hav them they will vote i~nteligently. They will vote
YES" two times.

What do you mean by several?
Mr.. kositzky-Oh, q group Of US fellows.
Well, how many fellows?
Mr.. kositzky-Well probably ten.
Why don't you sign your advertisement?
MI. kositzky-We did.
What did you expect the people to understand by the name Of
the Bismarck Taxpayers Association?
MI. kosnzky-Why, that the taxpayers were against the prop.
0sition, of course.
Why didn't you explain who the taxpayers were and how many
persons are members Of it?
MI. k0sitzky-We didn't have to.
When was your association organized?
Mt. Kositzky-Last Monday.
Where?
Mr.. kositzky-In Bismarck.
Bismarck is a fairly large place and growing larger. Can't
you make that more definite?
Mr.. kositzky-I don't see why / should.
Who paid for the advertisement?

Truth Will Prevail Against
Political Trickeru

Now. as always, the American Legion believes in a square deal.
In advocating the memorial community building bond issue
it has stood sqqsrely for the truth, the whole truth and nothing
light of honesty and truth shine in civic affairs. That is the Legion
principle.
Attention, Mr.. Voter
There appeared in Tuesdays issue Of The Tribune an adver-
tsement against the American Legion bond issue proposal. It was
signed by the Bismarck Taxpayers association and was so false
and misleading as to bear every evidence of being malicious.
Do you, Mr.. Voter. know who constitutes the membership Of
the so-called taxpayers association? .
Do you know what it is and by whom it was organized?
Here's q little honest light on the subject.
All we know about the socalled taxpayers association we
learned from Carl R. Kositzky, living at 723 Eleventh street.
Mr.. kositzky says he is the secretary.
So that the voters of Bismarck might know what the taxpayers
are and who they are, we asked MI. Kositzky some questions:
Read Them-Read Mr.. Kositzky's Answers
What is the Bismarck Taxpayers Association?
Mr.. kositzky| group Of Bismarck property owners.
How many property owners?
MI. kositzky-Several.
