(Minneapolis Tribune.) Why should anybody who intends to behave himself and obey the law object to the passage of the Motor corps bill? What has any law-abiding citizen to fear from the police power of the state? ; Ought not the state to be provided with such means as may be necessary and efficient for the enforcement of the law? Haven’t we heard a lot in the past about private interests providing their own police protection in time of emergency, and have we not been told over and over again that hired guards are an offense and that such police power as may be necessary should be provided by the state and act for the state and not under the direction of private interests? : Why, then, do those who make the most complaint about the irritation of private guards object to the creation of an official police force sufficient to maintain the honor of the state by protecting its citizens and ther property from possible harm and by preserving the public peace against assault from any quarter? In answer to these questions there are threatening demon- strations before the doors of°the legislative halls of Minnesota. The only proper answer to these threats is prompt passage of the bill. o The sufficient argument for such action is this effort to in- timidate the legally constituted law-making body of the state, We hope the members of the legislature will have the courage to do their duty. We believe they will. We have no shadow of doubt that if they do, the people of the state will stand by them. ; i B NATIONAL INTEREST IN WATER HIGHWAY. * From every indication possible to imagine, the head-of- the-lakes to the Atlantic ocean water highway is an assured fact, and even the “big guns” in the national house of repre- sentatives and senate are among its staunchest supporters. Every state'directly affected is for it and states adjoining these states and stateg.far remote are all interested. It is said the start looks good for next year and if this comes’to pass i“? will be the greatest project gotten at with such dispatfh. put its values and immense benefits are easily seen thfough, and, herculean as it may seem, yet it is a very simple matter to follow the natural water course, with little attention in places, to the eastern coast and on put to the continents. The best recommendation for the project is the opposition from eastern points.. They know well what it will mean; the opening of the great northwest direct and at cheap rates to ocean traffic and eastern points. It will give the industrieg and markets of the northwest a square deal with the east and results will be inestimablé. It will also make Duluth one of the most important cities and manufacturing and shipping centers in the wést, excepting none, and to Northern Minne- sota and this part of the country Duluth is one of its ehief assets, fully capable of taking her part in the handling the out- pourings of agricultureand industry that would resulf from a direct waterway front producer to market, and an intelligent citizenship is quick to ‘discern its full meaning. £ O £ & SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED LONGER. The government “round up” of all anti-Americans, who are aliens from foreign shores and the avowed intention of deporting them to the countries from whence they came, is timely. It should have been done long ago and stricter immi- gration laws enacted. 5 - Records throughout the'United States show that the leaders and disturbers in general have been those from other countries, schooled in all that is'against law, order and common decency and the time to rid the nation of this class of disreputables is right now. They have been made welcome to the shores of America with the greatest opportunity-they ever had, to become good citizens and prosperous with all the advantages afforded by the nation, Yet they have lost no time in starting a propa- ganda of lawlessness in attempts to disintregate their new sur- roundings so dearly bought since the days of the Revolution, by the use of their knowledge obtained in the schools of unrest, wanton destruction and crime. g The practices of these snakes in Germany and Russia will find no favor in the Uhited States and the sooner this nest of worthless humanity is sent back to their birth land the cleaner will be the nation, more wholesome, law-abiding and pros- perous, Special Map Coupon Bemidji Pioneer Pub.

AT THE THEATERS KEENAN AT REX. Z The Rex has secured a’'big booking for this city and will have the Pathe master-play, in which Frank Keenan, the ‘distinguished American actor, has scored his greatest screen tri- umph, tonight. There is a certain freshness of novelty to the theme of ‘More Trouble,” the’ photoplay in which Frank Keenan is starring at the Rex this' week, which makes it amusing every foot of the way, and reveals Keenan in a humeorous role quite different from the serious character parts .with which he has been identified in the past. There will also be a good comedy. TOM MIX TOMORROW. The Rex theatre will have as its chief attraction tomorrow Tom Mix, the cowboy star, in a William Fpx production, ‘““Hell Roarin’ Reform.” Among the stirring, things Mix does are a wild ride down the side of a steep mountain and ‘a leap on horse- bac;( from a balcony through the roof. METRO SUNDAY. “Secret Strings,” the Metro play which ‘will be the attraction at the Rex theatre on Sunday consists of a notable cast of distinguishea players who are. known throughout the country. 5 Olive Tell, star of the production, who will be seen in the role of Janet Newell,. is a young émotional actress of versatility and talent. Her record in stage and screen annals is with- out a parallel for rapidity of achieve- men; Eiow R This feature was being advertised when' the. “flu” 1fd went on. ' ELKO TONIGHT. . The. new World ‘picture starring Louise Huff,”*The Sea Waif,” is just the sort of ‘a picture that pleases everyone, vlt has _sentiment, life, love, laughter and thrills and a most charming asd delightful -star, with handsome John Bowers as the hero. Consequently it has something of all the things that go to make delightful screen entertainment. WL / An-interésting short subject is also on tonights program at the Elko theatre. GRAND TONIGHT. Mary Pickford will be seen at the Grand theatre tonight in *‘Caprice,” the photoplay that will be remem- bered as one of her earliest successes. The story is absorbing and Miss Pick- ford has a role which she portrays with her usual artistry. As the ¢child of moods she is mirthful, serious and loveable throughout the play. Her leading man is her husband, Owen Moore. b ELKO TOMORROW. In his new Paramount photoplay, “The Claws o fthe Hun,” at the Elko Saturday and Sunday. Charles Ray has a part that is exceptionally in- teresting, because it presents the mental conflict of a youth torn be- tween love of his mother and duty o his country. Rosco (Fatty) Atbuckle,- widely known as the commander-in-chief of America’s army of screen comedians, is seen in “The Cook,” which.will be shotn at the Elko theatre tomorrow and. Sunday, matinee and evening. e GRAND TOMORROW. Geraldine Farrar, Tom. Santschi and Milton Sills in new Goldwyn pic- ture “Shadows,” the most unusual and daring play of the season, ap- pear at the Grand theatre tomorrow. and Sunday, matinees and evenings.

CARLSON FOR . MAYOR 1 am a candidate for the office of Mayor. I believe in a&n-economical and business-like administration of the city’s affairs, as far as this office is concerned. TotheTaxpayers Voters of the City of Bemidji Having served the City of Bemidji dtring the year of 1918 as City Assessor, I am again a candidate for that office at the coming election, February 18, 1919. I ask your support on the basis that I made a FAIR and EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT LAST YEAR. I challenge anyone to cite @ specific case where the assessment was made in an unjust and unfair manner. - .. If your taxes are doubled or nearly so, it is because you have not paid your just and proportionate share heretofor taking as a bases the ACTUAL FULL and TRUE VALUE of your property-as is required of the Assessor by law. . ! Let not the amount of your taxes prejudice you against the work of the Assessor but compare the valuation HE HAS PLACED upon your property with YOUR OWN valuation." If they are nearly the same you have no kick against the Assessor no matter what the amount of your taxes may be. ' Then talk to the County Board, the School Board, the Park- Board, and the City Council, who levy the taxes and not to the Assessor who merely fixes valuations. P Do’ you qlaxm that the Crookston Lumber Company assessment is unfair and unjust because they are paying about $15,000 MORE taxes this year than they ever paid before? e % Do the merchants claim that they are paying an unjust amount of taxes because they are paying on a larger yaluation than the value of the stocks on hand May 1, 19187 All but six of the 70 highest taxpayers of the city are paying-from $50 to $300 more than last year. 2 LEST YOU FORGET! The ASSESSOR DOES NOT fix the rate of ¢ taxation. The rate last year was 85.4 mills' while this year it is' 10.1 mills. Yours for a fair and equitable assessment. : J. P.
