TAYLOR AND ACKER
TALK BEFORE CLUB
Business Optimism and Taxa.
tion Discussed by Rotary
Luncheon Speakers

Talks on business optimism and
taxation were given by James G. Tay-
lor, manager of the local branch of
the International Harvest company,
and State Tax Commissioner liver
Acker before the Bismarck Rotary
club Wednesday noon.
Taylor said there are many appar-
|ent reasons for business optimism to-
day rather than the pessimism which
has prevailed since November. 1929.
He pointed out that the business
turnover in the United States this
year probably will be near SIS, 900 .000.-
600.
He also called attention to the re-
vival in the textile industry and said
that recent survey of major indus
tries indicated advertising appropri-
ations for q great majority Of them
will be increased this fall.
He said Alexander Legge. former
federal farm board chieftain, believes
the American farmer can look for
ward confidently to a better share of
national prosperity than he has en-
joyed in long time"
Acker said too many persons are
criticizing taxation without offering
constructive suggestions and that
tax levies necessarily must rise as
property evaluations decrease. He
said that 70 per cent Of North Da-
kota's taxes are levied on real estate,
II per cent on public utilities. and Is
per cent on personal property.
Supreme Court Justice w. L. Nues-
sle called attention of the club men,
bers to the regional Red Cross con-
