Ac- tion Declared Insult to Ameri- can Motherhood Following the best attended and most enthusiastic meeting of the American War Mothers since the or- ganization of Fort Lincoln chapter, the following petitions appeared to- . day in all public places in the capital city, and they are being freely signed: “TO THE PRESIDENT :— “Tt has come to our notice that well defined efforts:are being made with the aid and co-operation of the gover- nor of this state to secure the pardon or release of Kate Richards O'Hare, whom was convicted of sedition in the United. States district court: of North Dakota and sentenced to a term of imprisonment for five years in the federal prison at Jefferson City, Mo. Her offense was a most glaring violation of law and of the spirit of our institutions. The words she spoke were a brutal insult to our boys in arms and a vile slander upon Amer- ican womanhood. She was given a fair trial and had the'benefit of an appeal. Believing that her release be- fore the expiration of her term would stimulate sedition and unjust criticism of our institutions and continue un- Americanism and: treason, we the American War Mothers, Fort Lincoln chapter’ Bismarck, N. D., earnestly protest against favorable consideration of the petition for such pardon for-' warded to you by the governor of this state, and all other like efforts, and pray that in furtherance of a more obedient and patriotic citizenship, she be required ‘to pay the penalty im- posed by law.” While the petitions are being circu- lated by the American War mothers, with whose local chapter originated the invéstigation which resulted in unearthing the letter which Frazier wrote President Wilson in behalf of Kate Richards O'Hare, declaring that her prosecution was actuated by poli- tics and spite work, all American citi- zens are being urged to join with thi American War Mothers in the signin; e of these petitions, copies of which il be found today. at all Bismarck hotels, the department stores, the more 'prom- inent cafes, the federal building and other public places. : The War Mothers last night. unani- mously adopted the resolutions con- demning Governor Frazier for his ac- tion which were presented and adopt- ed at the meeting of the Women’s Auxiliary to the American legion Thursday . evening, and Mrs. Peter Reid, Mrs. ©. W. Roberts, Mrs. Thay- er and Mrs. J. P. McGarvey were named, a committee to look after the circulation of the petitions. There is wholesale indignation over Governor Frazier's expressed friendship and sympathy for the convicted sedition ist. CATTLEMEN OF STOPE COMBAT RUSTLER BAND Meeting Called For January 27 in Mandan to Organize’ Vigilantes ! Fort Yates, N. D., Jan. 24.—J. A. Stiles. Don Steyenson: and Senator Ferdinand Leutz, members of the ex- ecutive committee of the North Da- kota Cattlemen's association, bave ealled a group meeting of stockmen in Sioux, Morton and Grant counties to be held at Mandan on the afternoon of January 27, when a plan of pro- tection for the cattlemen. in this ter- ritory against the depredations of cattle rustlers, who have been very active recently, will be devised. It is expected that men who are prominent in the cattle business will attend this meeting and will discuss various phases of the industry. A campaign for an extension of mem- “ bership in the association to every livestock man in these three counties will be proposed. and everyone inter- ested is being urged to attend. North Dakota, the cattlemen an- nounce. is in a peculiar situation. On the: west the Montana stockmen are associated; on the south the South Dakota stockmen have an organiza- tion, and on the north Canadian stockmen are affiliated for protection and mutual benefit. But in North Dakota there is no association. and the unorganized cattlemen are left at the mercy of cattle rustlers and horse thieves. It is this situation that has called into being the North Dakota Cattlemen’s association, and those ac- tive in the ‘movement. hope that a complete ‘organization . of steckmen that will furnish adequate protection niay result from the Mandan meeting next week, and that better market- ing conditions and other benefits may accrue, LAST CONTINGENT OF A.

ANNUAL INCOME TAX SCRAMBLE NOW UNDER WAY Open Season For Fat Salaries Opened Today—Blanks Now Available ACTS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE Secretary of State Forced to Re- mind Officials They Can- not Operate State Tax Commissioner Wallace, who has been advising county tax supervisors that they are without a job as a result of the passage of an act by the recent special assembly abolishing their jobs, is informed by the secretary of state that his action is premature, inasmuch as the bill re- ferred to, while certified to, the sec- retary of state by Chief Clerk Totten of the house as carrying the emerg- ency clause, was not passed by the required two-thirds majority and is not an emergency measure. Conse- quently this act cannot become ef- fective until the first of next July. The fact that Chief Clerk Totten was certifying bills to the senate with the emergency clause attached when the hyose had not in fact passed the emergency clause was brought out during the recent special session by members of the minority, and a com- mittee was appointed to investigate this irregularity. but so far as can be learned, this committee. never present- ed a report. The act relating to the post ot county tax supervisor was passed in the house by a vote of 60 to 41, the affirmatives being 14 less than ‘the number required to carry the emers- ency clause attached to the bill, In spite of this fact it is said that Chief Clerk. Totten certified the emergency clause.as passed: The: same thing. was done inthe case of House Bill 39, providing the governor with a con- tingency fund of $15,000 to pay debts incurred in his confiscation of the coal mines under a declaration of mar- tial law, and in his efforts to prove that ‘Golden Valléy county officials were derelict in connection with the Bowen murder case. ~The house jour- nal shows that the vote on this bill was 61 to 40, but in spite of that fact Speaker Stair is said to have signed the emergency clause, and Chief Clerk Totten, a son of Rev. George A. Tot- ten. chairman of the state board of administration, certified the emerg- ency clause to the senate as regularly, passed. Similar irregularities in the first session of the house over which the league presided were undone only a few months ago, when the supreme court held that North Dakota, al- though alleged violators had been prosectted,. convicted, fined — and thrown into prison under an alleged act of the legislature. never was really bone dry, and that the act of 1917 purporting to make the state bone ry; was never acted upon by the sen- ate in the form which A. E. Bowen, league chief clerk of that house, cer- tified it to the secretary of state. JOHNSON COMING FOR FOUR TALKS Presidential Candidate to Speak in Bismarck, Fargo, Minot and Forks i BURDEN IS ON CITIZENS The federal income tax season op- ens today, with the distribution of the forms for personal returns from the office of collector of internal rev- enue, Aberdeen, S. D. From now until the bell rings on the, night of March 15, the annual returns covering income for 1919 will be figured out‘ and filed by citizens and residents together with payments of tax due. Burden on Citizens. The burden of fulfilling this obli- gation is laid‘ by law squarely on the shoulders of those who are American citizens or residents. Every person must determine for himself whether his net income for 1919, figured ac- cording to the revenue law, was suf- ficient in amount to require a return. If he is single, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $1,000, or over. A widow or widower is classed as a single person. A man or woman living apart from his wife or husband is also classed as a single person. ‘ If he was. married and living with hisy wife: on-Dec, 31, a return: is re- quired if his net income for 1919 was $2,000, or over. In his net income one must include that of his wife and minor children, if any. Payment With Return. If a tax is due on his income, he must make payment with his return. This payment may be made in whole or in part of the tax due. At least i pany the return. The filing and paying must be done before midnight of March 15th, or he is classed as a delinquent and is sub- ject to severe: penalties. Two forms are being distributed for personal returns. Form 1040A is intended for use by a person whose net income does not exceed $5,000. A larger form, 1040, is intended for each person haying a net income in excess of $5,000. Both of these forms are now obtainable at internal reve- nue offices and at some banks and postoffices. Get Blanks Now. It is urged by the internal revenue jbureau that taxpayers obtain their blanks at once. Failure to have a blank form at, hand for an eleventh- hour return will not relieve a_ person of penalty for failure to comply with the law. Each form contains instructions for preparing and filing the return, and these should be carefully read and strictly observed. There also provided a “work sheet” which should be used for mak- ing the original computations, and (Continued or Page Four.) { i 1 i 1 Senator Hiram W.
