APPEALS FOR HELP
ON TAXPAYER BILLS
Rugby Attorney Says State
Group Plans to Conduct
Educational Campaign

Rolette, N. D., April 9.-(R)-An ap-
peal to taxpayers to work toward pass
age of five initiated measures spon-
sored by the state taxpayers associa-
tiCn was made here by II. B. Nelson
secretary-treasurer Of the organiza-
ton, at the first of series of county
wide taxpayers meetings.
Nelson spoke before a meeting OF
the Rolette taxpayers association, one
Of the first to be organized in the
state. He described in detail the five
measures and urged the members OF
the organization to participate in the
state associations educational cam
paign.
Petitions for placing the measures
on the ballot at the state primary
election were signed by $4,000 per-
sons, Nelson said despite the fact that
they were not circulated in nine Of
| the states So counties.
The five measures will not be per-
! mitted to pass unassailed," Nelson
said. "They will be opposed by prac-
+, tically every county officer in the
state and the arguments against them
will be many and varied"
The taxpayers program will have to
depend for its support on the active
participation of every taxpayer in the
state, Nelson said. He urged free dis
cussion of the proposed measures in
all parts of the state.

Cause Of Wahpeton
Wreck Is Mystery

Washington, D. c., April 9.-(P-
The Interstate Commerce Commission
safety bureau was unable to deter
mine the exact cause of the collision
between a Great Northern Railway
passenger train and a Milwaukee
freight train near Wahpeton, N. D..
January &c. killing three persons and
injuring IA, it announced Saturday
The nearest to reason that could
be found, the report said, was that
signals on one of the lines was out OF
order.
The engineer and fireman of the
Milwaukee freight were killed, SO
there could be no evidence as to con-
dition of the signals.
The investigator, however, said the
fact they entered the block would in
dictate the signals were proper. The
engineer on the Great Northern was
positive signals he faced were proper
and called for him to 60 ahead.

Asserts People Look
ASkance at Promises

Chicago. April 9.--lP,-Frank J.
LoeSch looked back Saturday over his
years of fighting corruption in politics
and wondered about the worth of his
work.
This was his eightieth birthday an
mversary
And this was his summation:
"All the battles against crime and
corruption in politics and government
have been of little permanent avail
The creator of Chicago's crime COM
mission talks from experience. Loesch
believes the people have a feeling fol-
good government" but that often
they are unable to find leaders to ex-
press this sentiment; that people have
come, through so many let-downs, to
look askance at politicians and cam
paign promises"

Ask Bonus Showdown

Minneapolis. April 9-tP-An TN
mediate showdown by the National
American Legion on the bonus ques-
ton was demanded in a resolution
adopted Friday at the annual spring
conference of the Minnesota depart
ment of the Legion.
The resolution asked for meeting
"at once" Of the Legion's national
executive committee to consider the
question of immediate payment by
the government of adjusted service
certificates.
Delegates at the conference here
declared Henry l.. Stevens. national
commander Of the organization, had
given an untrue picture Of the real
sentiment Of the Legion when he was
quoted recently as saying only %
posts throughout the country wanted
payment now.
The resolution presented to the
Minnesota department was adopted
by an almost unanimous vote after
Oscar Youngdahl, Minneapolis, state
commander, had failed to have 1t re-
ferred to a committee.
The conference ordered that ma
tional headquarters and Commander
Stevens be notified by wire OF the
Minnesota action.

The Seward Chamber of Com merce has been exercised over a report that the Forest Service may withdraw from the Chugach Ma tional Forest and throw the land therein back into the general pub lie domain. The Delegate took this matter up with the Chief of the Forest Service and was informed that the only consideration was to exclude a part of the reserve lying between Seward and Anchorage, and to throw it open to settle ment. However, there was more or less opposition to this recom- mendation and it was not ap- proved by the Secretary of Agri- culture and has been absolutely sidetracked, for this year at least, and possibly for many years.

MORE LABOR.SAVING MACHINERY
(The Labor WOrld)

Walter p. Chrysler, maker of auto
mobiles, announces Encouragement of
his whole production scheme, with
new machinery effecting economies
hitherto unattainable."
Meanwhile, with loss on the books,
Chrysler pays the usual dividend, fol-
lowing the lead of United States Steel,
which boasts it has never passed a
dividend on preferred stock.
What the Chrysler announcement
means is that new machinery has
been found that will do more work
with fewer men, meaning, in turn,
MORE UNEMPLOYMENT.
Dividends are paid to stockholders;
wage earners are thrown out to join
the vain hunt for work.
What Chrysler is doing is undoubt-
edly being done throughout the auto
motive world.
More automatic machinery; fewer
men.
The depression has brought more
automatic machinery in many lines,
adding to one of the fundamental
causes of unemployment
Efficiency of machinery has been
set up as a fetish. For workers it
is devOuring fiend.
Workers want all the machinery
that can be devised, but they want to
share in its benefits.
They do not want to see II billion
dollars going to Europe for private in
vestment, while the breadlines length
en- at home.
Chrysler pays his dividend, hunts
up new mechanical wizards and pre-
pares to disemploy more men. And
pay more dividends.

vents an engraving machine that en-
ables an unskilled youngster to make
photo-engravings, until now the prod

artists.
Terminals and ports discover new

til 1t now is possible for a ship to
steam into port and load or discharge
a cargo of grain without any human
help.
There has been a speeding up of
machinery and development of new
machinery and there has been a ire
mendous Encouragement of factories
