FOR TAX REDUCTION
Baldwin, N. D..
lime &. 1899

June 8, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
It seems discouraging to think that
the taxpayers association is state
wide organization, yet some of its
subdivisions do not agree in reducing
assessments from IS to SO per cent,
on which the voters will cast their
ballots at the June primary.
This writer is of the honest opinion
that that is the only way now to re-
duce taxes if all tax levieS are now
affixed by law-that is the maximum
which believe is the case. Reduc-
ing the valuation Is per cent would
also reduce taxes Is per cent.
OF course, remember We must bear
in mind not to elect a legislature
which would enact a new law to raise
the tax levy rather than to cut the
salaries and running expenses Is per
cent in the state and all its subdivi-
sions. I think this should have been
done six or eight years ago. believe
that every voter will wecome Is per
cent reduction on his taxes in these
hard times.

SEE WOMANS BODY
FLOATING in RIVER
BurIeigh Officials Will Attempt
to Recover Corpse Here
This Afternoon

With the body of a woman report
led floating down the Missouri river
toward Bismarck Wednesday after
noon, members of the Burleigh coun-
ty sheriffs staff made preparations
for an attempt to recover the corpse
from the stream here.
Local officials were informed of the
incident in a telephone call shortly
after l o'clock by A. ]. Loudenbeck,
Mclean county sheriff.
Loudenbeck said the body first was
sighted near Washburn. The iden-
tity of the woman was not known
since no drownings in the river have
been reported recently. Loudenbeck
followed the body as far south as
Wildwood Lake, but was unable to get
to it there because of the strong cur
rent.
A. H. Helgeson, Burleigh deputy
sheriff, said it is expected the body
will reach here shortly before
o'clock, providing it is not caught
in the river bed.
Members of the sheriff's staff here
will man boats about 4 o'clock and
watch for the body.

Dollar Is Victorious
In European Battle

New York, June l5.--tR)-The dol.
lar glistened in victory wednesday
while the financial metropolis hailed
the end Of Europe's long drain on
American gold.
The Bank of France converted the
last Of its dollar balances into gold
Tuesday for eventual Judgment in its
own Vaults. That meant America had
successfully met all foreign demands
on its gold supply, bankers said, and
that the dollar had emerged a winner
from the severest pressure ever i'm
posed on currency.
The Bank of Frances withdrawal
from this market of $55,000,000 in
balances ended what was described as
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments in financial history-The re-
payment by the United States since
1929 OF all but $500, 100000 of the So
000,O00,000 Of short-term funds lodg-
ed In this market by foreign central
banks, governments and private in
terests.

Two-Year Delay.
BY a stan correspondent of The star

BY Stan Correspondent of The Star
RICHMOND. Va, February 26.-The
Virginia State Senate yesterday adopted
resolution by Senator A. e. Shumate
of Giles County, memorializing Congress
to enact legislation authorizing the Fed
eral Land Banks to grant q two-year
moratorium to all needy farmers whose
lands are covered by mortgages, when
they can afford ample security for the
unpaid balance.
The resolution was offered, Senator
Shumate said, in view Of the financial
condition of the farmers as a result Of
the present economic condition which,
he declared, make it impossible for
many Of them to meet the amortization
installments coming due on mortgages
given by them to the several Federal
Land Banks without great sacrifice to
themselves and their local creditors.

out until the conference-namely France and Britain,
who dominate the conference-is ready to do some
thing more than talk.
The Hoover administration may not know IT, but
this German and Russian attitude of extreme wear-
ness with fake disarmament conferences that never
dsarm is shared very largely by American citizens
Before the Hoover administration commits the
United States to siding with France and Britain either
directly or indirectly, against Germanys just demand
for juristic equality the administration should
understand that this dispute carries new seeds of
If France and Britain do not grant Germany's
equality right peacefully it is only question Of time
before Germany goes to war over that issue.
Germany is not asking actual arms equality only
legal equalty-which is little enough.
The only explanation We have heard of the appar-
ent Hoover policy of siding against Germany is that
indirect American support of the Versailles treaty
might induce France and Britain to side with the
United States in support Of the power treaty
against japanese aggression in China. This strikes
us very big and very risky gamble
There is no similarity between the Versailles and
the nine-power treaties.
The Versailles treaty imposed by, force on an
unwilling nation by victors-and the United States is
not party to it.
The nine-power treaty was a voluntary pact in
WHICH Japan, brlLaln ana france agreed with the
United States to uphold the independence and in
tegrity Of China
The United States is under no obligation whatever
TO uphold the iniquitous provisions of the Versailles
treaty; and the United States not obligated to en-
force the nine-power treaty. except jointly with the
other Signatories.
If the United States is stupid enough to let itself
get dragged into any Versailles treaty controversy
might at least recall that Germanys demand for
equality is based that part of the Versailles treaty
which pledges the allies to disarm as they are dis
Rrming Germany edge which France and Britain
have violated to date.
But If the United States government is intelligent
it will not permit France and Britain to make it the
goat either in Europe in the far east
In the Japanese dispute, it will insist on the Joint
responsibility Of France and Britain for preserving the
nine-power treaty, without any further trades con-
cesSions or sacrifices from the United States
In the disarmament dispute it will permit Germany
and Russia, who favor the Hoover disarmament pro-
posal, to boycott any disarmament conference which
rejects the Hoover and all other concrete disarmament
plans.
AS sovereign nations, Germany and Russia have
a right to such action without any interference
from u.s.
This boycott may bring the French and British
mitarsts to their senses now that all other pressure
including American public opnion-has failed.

Wisconsin Stonned

wisconsin like Maine and Texas, has done the I'M
expected by throwing out the ms 1t is too bad-for
the state and for the country which long has proted
bv the Wisconsin example-that the La Toilette Re-
publican progressves have suffered another setback
The thirty-two years of the La Follettes have con-
tanned many such setbacks The conservative "stal-
wart" Republicans repeatedly have deposed the pro-
gressives from state control.
But the gains in social and economic justice never
were quite lost.
The elder Bob La Toilette never gave up His sons
and supporters have his spirit.
A defeat only means that renewed efforts are nee
essary to win next time and then to go ahead from
where the job was left of.
The result undoubtedly is result of the unrest OF
the depression and the swing toward the Democrats.
Philip La Toilette in his 1880 campaign for Gov
ernor promised he would do many things to provide
work and relief He did many of them, but he could
not do enough.
Wisconsins unemployed mounted along with that
of the rest of the country. His Embarrassing eli-
nation and unemployment insurance bills were enact
ed but the program like any state program could not
avert the national catastrophe of declining pay rolls
and fewer jobs
The Democrats in past years negligible as party,
deserted the La Toilette ranks where they usually
found at primary time in huge numbers, because Of
their own high hopes of carrying the state in No
yember. sst.- ae
The prohibition issue was not involved, the con-
gressona candidates being repeasts in all cases ex-
cept in one district.
Unless the Democratic candidates pledge them
selves to carry on the Wisconsin idea of progressive
ism-and whit appears that the states progress will
be at standstill for a while.

The Disarmament Boycott

Fetween the conflicting reports from Paris and
Washington on our governments policy regarding
disarmed Germany, the public is left to make its
own guess.
Ambassador Edge and Senator Reed said to
have assured Premier Herriot that the United States
will stand with France and Great Britain against
German equality demands.
But President Hoover says the Versailles treaty
terms are none of our business that merely are
interested in the success of the disarmament con-
ference.
Under the circumstances the reports from Paris
may be more reliable than the official White House
statement on its face.
For the Hoover statement. by urging Germany to
remain in the arms parley, in effect if not in words
opposes the German policy Of refusing to participate
until her right to armament equality is recognized
The United States, nonsgnatory of the ver-
sailles treaty which diSarmed Germany, seems to be
saying indirectly what the London and Paris gov
ernments have said directly and bluntly.
This development, if true, is alarming. Public
opinion in this country heartily is in favor of joint
arms limitation but it certainly does not support the
dangerously unjust system by which the former allied
powers keep Germany disarmed while they them
selves increase ornaments and wreck world disarma
nent conferences.
Unfortunately. militarists again are in power in
Germany out americans can not forget that 1t Is
the militaristic policies of the former allies since
the war which largely have killed German pacifsm
and repubicanism and elevated the Junker-Fascists
The world disarmament conference, after ten years
appropriation and lip service had plenty of time and
plenty of chances to achieve something But under the
domination OF France and Britain the conference re-
Jeced the German plan, the Russian plan the Hoover
plan and recessed with nothing
Now a communities of that disbanded conference
has gone back into session. apparently with the inten-
ton Of keeping up appearances but with France
and Britain no more ready to permit disarmament
than they have ever been.
Therefore, Germany and Russia say they wfn stay
