HIDE AND FUR SUITS
ON SEIZURE ARE UP
Trappers Seek Damages From
Game and Fish Commission;
McFa rIand Sitting

Trial of q series of fur seizure suits
was begun in district court this norm
ing by taking up the case of Johnny
Bertsch against G. F. Noltimier and
others, the defendants being the state
game and fish commission, Chief
Commission Burnie Maurek and Com
missioners Knudson, Hoghaug, Hal
sted and Noltimier.
Bertsch, Elof Lundstedt and Gust
Reuter- RI suing for reparation for
seizures in an amount totaling about
S $1,000 in their three suits. The furs
seized by the state game commission
ers and wardens were mink, skunk,
coyote and others.
Seizures were made on failure to
ship without q state permit, the furs
being taken from express cars at Far
go and at Hankinson. in the winter
Of l928-29. The game wardens were
aiming to reach trappers operating
without a license or in preseason.
Absence of a permit was in some
cases due to lack of license, the war
dens thereby being enabled to reach
the illegal trappers more easily.
The three plaintiffs in these suits
before court now assert they had Ii
censes. Therefore they seek to re-
cover damages sustained when de-
prived Of their furs.
The game commission justifies its
policy by an increase Of license money
obtained by the state after pressure
was put on the trappers by the seiz-
ures. r. A. Kinzer, deputy warden
here, said a total OF $4,000 to SIS, 000
was added to the state trapping re-
ceipts when bootleg trapping was re-
vealed through the seizures.

permanent and more laudible civiliza-
ton than have the people governed
by superstition and tradition, DR.. j.
H. Shepperd, president of the North
Dakota Agricultural college, told a
graduating class Of POI students at
commencement exercises here today.
Presentation of diplomas and con-
ferring Of degrees concluded the COM
mencement activities. DR.. l.. D.
Coffman, president of the University
of Minnesota, gave the baccalaureate
address Sunday and the commence
ment concert was held Sunday night.
DR.. Shepperd contrasted the results
of science and of superstition dur
ing the history Of the world as great
forces in community building, Begin
ming with the first brick manufac-
tured 5000 years ago.
1T is your good fortune to enter
upon life's activities at q most pro-
pitious time" DR.. Shepperd told the
graduates. "Your heritage of &C
cumulated knowledge and Of facilities
is greater than that which has come
to any generation on all the earth.
The discoveries. apparatus, methods
and facilities Of the students of all
time lie at your feet, but In spite Of that
I assure you there are still mighty
problems in relation to human society
and that there is no warrant for your
joining Alexander the Great by weep
ing lest there be no more worlds to
conquer"
unless men 60 out In the world
with actuated ideals Of truth, char
acter and manhood, college training
has missed its mark" DR.. Coffman
said in the baccalaureate address.
In enlarging upon his subject Of
what does society have q right to
expect Of college graduates?" DR.. Coff.
man said: Public confidence or lack
Of public confidence in public edu-
cation rests upon the opinions which
a generation has 80 years after grad
uation as to the value Of education
Society expects that an educated
generation will have q higher, fine'
and worthier sense of moral and spir-
itual values than an u~neducated gen.
Grafton, and that there will be pro-
gressive improvement in these re-
spects."
That a generation 80 years afte1
graduation is expected to show In
creased earning power over q gen
Grafton that has not had correspond
ing opportunities was another coin
emphasized by the speaker. He fur
ther declared that graduates arc ex'
pected to be healthier than If the.
had not attended college, for shoult
q casual relationship between educa
ton and a weak physical condition
be presumed, support for the schools
would soon vanish"

MONEY IS FLOODING
GOVERNMENTS TILL
Income Tax Collections, Due To-
day, Expected to Tota!
$500, ooo,o 900

washington. June l6.-(P-With
more than one and q half billion dol
lars passing through the United
States treasury today the second pay
ment of taxes on 1929 incomes was
pouring into the government coffers
to swell such collections to unprece-
denied totals.
Treasury experts expected today's
collections to amount to$500, 900 900 or
more. At the same time the govern
ment was paying Oft 10000, 900 from
the sale of such securities and paying
about 100000, 900 interest on the pub
lie debt. =.
On June IL, the last day shown in
the treasury's daily statement me
government had collected for the fis-
cal wear which started July l q total
of s., 457, e20,0l9 and had spent in the
same time $3,698, 720. 649. Though
this left a deficit treasury officials
expected President Hoover's first full
fiscal year in office to end with a
comfortable surplus.
OF the total receipts for the year
81. GIG. 0oo, 25l were received as tax on
incomes of 1929, despite the fact OF
the Wall street collapse last fall and
the one-per-cent tax reduction. The
tax reduction alone meant about
$500. 900 900 less income for the gov
eminent. Nevertheless, indications
we're the treasury estimates OF a total
return of 50, 480, 000, 900 from income
taxes in the fiscal year would be
borne out.
The total income for the year to
June Il was $1O5, 100000 more than
received in the same period OF last
wear while the expenditures were
SIT. 100000 greater, due in part to
increasing government activities ana
the operation of the federal farm
board.
General expenditures of the gov
eminent amounted to $2,078. 445.l65,
about 500, 100000 more than for the
same period last year, while the pos
tai deficiency this year totals $685.
O74.87O to date as compared to $7O,-

The total Of ordinary expenditures
of the government for the year to last
Thursday was $3,186,141 .745, as COM
pared to $4,000, 4s6 $40 for the same
time q year ago.
With at least $500, ooo, 900 in income
tax expected by the treasury before
the end of the fiscal year on June 80,
indications were that the government
would have q total income during the
