SAYSCITY TAXPAYER
| HAS HEAVIER BURDEN
Acker Discusses levies in Ad-
dress Tuesday to Local
KiWanis Club

Generally speaking, city taxpayers
in North Dakota pay about double the
tax per $1,000 Of assessed valuation
that Is charged to their country
neighbors, Iver Acke7, state tax COM
missioner, told members OF the XII
wants club Tuesday.
While 1t Is difficult to compare the
tax burden Of the farmer in any par
ticular district with that Of the tax
payer in the city, Acker said, 1t is
true, nevertheless than the city man
pays q tax which Is comparatively
higher.
Taking Bismarck as the urban ex-
ample and Apple Creek school district
as the rural, Acker cited figures which
indicated that the city man paid
SIS SO per $1,000 assessed valuation as
against $25.82 paid by the farmer or
the same basis. OF these amounts
the city man paid 1921 to the state
$13.l3 to the county. $17.86 to the city
|$l.95 to the park district, and $19.6t
for schools. The farmer paid 1921 II
the state, $13.13 to the county, $3.3'
to the township, and $6.18 for schools
Farm lands compose 40 per cent o
the taxable property in Burleigl
lcounty, according to Acker's figures
Other real estate Is fixed at Is pc
Icent and personal property makes u
the balance of 80 per cent.
Fifty per cent Of the tax dollar i
Bismarck is spent on schools, five pc
cent on parks, and five per cent fo
general city purposes, he said.
Arthur v. Sorenson was chairma
of the day at the meeting. j. Henr
King, Bismarck, and Ralph Croa
), secretary Of the Kiwanis club at Fal

CHICAGO, July 28.-Hot weather and
hard times have ripened crop Of po-
litical developments far ahead Of sched-
ule In Illinois, where the candidate
harvest Is In swing nine months ahead
Of the next primary.
There already Is the prospect Of q
bumper crop of Republican seekers for
the gubernatorial nomination, while
candidates for congressional nomina-
Grooms Lewis for Presidency.
Much interest locally is shown In the
efforts of Mayor Anton j. Cermak to
nurture the national ambitions Of Sem
ator James Hamilton Lewis, who Is be-
lived to have real interest in the
prospect of taking second place on the
next Democratic presidential ticket.
Senator Lewis, who won his election by
majority of 100000 over Ruth Hanna
Mccormick, the Republican nominee,
last November, Is keeping sharply In
the limelight to stimulate his growth
the "favorite son" presidential candi-
date of Illinois Democrats.
James Simpson, jr., 26-year-old son
of the chairman Of the board Of Mar
shall Field & CO., is adding spice to the
congressional situation by announcing
his candidacy for the Republican nomi~
nation in the thirteenth Illinois dis
trict. The youthful scion Of rich FAM
ily known as sportsman. prefers poll
tics to merchandising and promises to
wage hard fight against big list of
veterans.
Mccormick Friends Active.
At the same time, from Rockford
come reports that Republicans there
are talking of bringing out former
Congresswoman Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick for the race in the new fourteenth
Illinois district. Mrs. Mccormick has
kept her political organization over the
State intact and is said to banker for
return to active politics.
The yield of Republican gubernatorial
aspirants is unusually high already,
even with the nomination scheduled as
far away as next April. big Bill"
Thompson, Chicago'S former mayor, is
whooping it up for Len Small. hts tor
mer crony in the Small-Thompson-Lo r-
imer-Smith combination. Former Gov.
Small is expected to blossom out ON
cially at the time of the State fair in
Kankakee during September.
Oscar Carlstrom, attorney general for
two terms, is in bloom offfcially, as Is
William H. Malone, former State tax
commissioner. Gov. Louis E. Emmer-
son either is to run for reelection
against this group or will have a can
didate of his own.
In the meantime the Democrats are
sitting tight and forestalling as much
as possible any prospect of a split within
their ranks. They see a chance for
carrying all State offices and are keep
ing their crop Of job aspirants we'll

HOWARD u. GROUP
Charges Cooperative Store on
Campus Violates Law and
9
Hurts His Trade.

Joseph H. Maxwell, O bookseller of
20l8 Georgia avenue, asked District
Supreme Court yesterday for an injunc-
ton to restrain Howard University, EN-
NETT j. Scott, its secretary treasurer, and
other officials and professors from con-
tinuing the operation of the Corpora
tive University Book Store on the camp
us of the university. The store, he
claims, Is being carried on in q govern
ment-owned building by Government
employees with no payment for light or
rent.
Maxwell charged that q number of
school professors are interested in the
project and have withheld from him
list of books needed by the students
until one day before the beginning of
a semester. This, he commended, was
done SO he could not stock his store
and the books would be bought on
the campus
He declared that from q showing Of
q profit Of $4,000 In 1929, his business
had deteriorated to only $1,000 profit
because Of the alleged illegal actions of
the defendants.

XII PIenum Decisions Must Deeply
Penetrate the Ranks of the Party

The XIII Plenum of the Central Committee
of our Party has concretized the decisions of
the XI Plenum of the E. c. c. I. applying these
decisions to the work and tasks of our Party
here in the U. S. A.
The whole membership of our Party must
be made deeply conscious Of the meaning and
significance of these decisions in order to be
prepared to effectively bring them into life.
One of the major weaknesses from which our
Party still suffers is allowing good resolutions
and decisions to remain on paper Often there
is not even the possibility for the Party mem
bership to develop their understanding of the
good resolutions of the Party and C. I. for
the reason that even the paper on which these
resolutions are written lies in the national and
district offices of the Party and is not made
available to the general membership
This, however, should not be the case at the
present time. In the October issue of the
Communist and the report of Comrade Vein
stone On the XI Plenum of the E C. c. I and
the report Of Comrade Browder on the work
of the Central Committee and the Party are
printed together with the general resolution
and the unemployment resolution of the
Plenmn.

which lay the basis for thorough study OF

We are printing the section which deal with

marches, which are to lead up to the National
Hunger march, to Washington, Dec. ?, on the

(a) Unemployed demonstrations should be
organized in the cities and towns and county
hunger marches. The county marches provide
a means Of deepening the struggle much more
than was accomplished through the state hun

preparation of the marches. During the month

and cynical diplomacy of American imperialism,
in its offensive both in and outside of the coun-
try.
The fact that the "gentlemen's agreement" be-
tween Hoover and Green in the latter part of
1929 for maintaining the wage scale was a
fake, now becomes clear and obvious even for
the workers who were under the influence of
the bourgeois parties and its poisoned press.
Now when the offensive becomes more vicious
this gentlemen's agreement changes its form
but not its contents Both the state and the
American Federation of Labor are now she'd
ding crocodile tears in the face Of the announced
wage cuts.
The division of labor between The bosses in
the trusts who have cut wages to the bone on
one hand and the bosses and their lackeys in
the government and the fascsts and social fas-
clsts on the other hand is especially necessary
to prevent and weaken the resistance of the
workers But at the same time the open wage
cutters are now, more than before interested in
covering up their old system of betrayal They
reveal this old system occasionally as in the
N. Y. Times of Sept. %:
Though wages have been held nominally at
their old level purchasing power has dropped
off by heavy percentages. The reason is far
to seek The big industries have been run

Pile, has recently been up to only 30 or 35 per
cent Of what it has the facilities to produce.
The inevitable result is that 60 per cent of
their employees might not have been getting
any wages at all but for the staggered" en-
ployment plan which permitted their earning
a little money"
The Communist Party time and again exposed
the "stagger" plan an instrument to cut the
wages OF the workers without making them
aware that they were robbed and plundered
