STATE TAX LAWS CHANGED SOON! ; Annual Convention of Missouri Slope Association Held at New Salem OFFICERS ARE ELECTED Dickinson Named Next Meeting Place; Commissioner Wal- lace Stumped Advocating a radical change in laws covering bank taxation, “praying that justice and*fairness be shown,” the annual meeting of the Missoui Slope Bankers’ association adjourned at New Salem Tuesday after electing officers and selecting Dickinson as the 1921 meeting place.

Mr. Peterson acted as presiding of- ficer of the convention P. C. Reming- ton the president, of Bismarck being unable to attend. F. E. Shepard of} Bismarck acted as secretary. The meeting was well attended. Capt. Wilson of the experimental station at Mandan spoke on “Growing Small Grains and the Care of Alfalfa.” George E. Wallace, state tax com- missioner, addressed the bankers on the subject of state taxes. Mr. Wal- lace-was asked a number of questions in regards to taxes as they affect banks and in many instances he was either unable to give a definite or sat- isfactory answer, or explained the matter only in part. The committee on resolutions consisting of Mr. Skauge, Edward Schulenberg of Glen Ullin and J. Radke of Golden Valley. recommended the following, which 1. Every bank aid in establishing at least one herd of good beef or dairy cattle in its locality during the coming year. 2. Because state banks “are un- justly taxed” a radical change in laws affecting bank taxation was advocated, “it not being the desire or intention of banks as a whole to avoid the pay- ment of taxes in any but praying that justice and fairness be shown. 3. Approved the action of the of- ficers of the North Dakota Bankers’ association taking action seeking tax relief from “the action of the federal reserve bank and that of our state legislature in demanding and passing rules and laws depriving the banks of the exchange charge” and recom- mended that this question “be brought to the attention of our legislators in order that our state laws may not con- flict with the national laws.” 4.

D. Flora, state meteorologist. It was reported that: Barbed wire fences became charged and one, in an authenti- cated instance, set fire to dry grass and caused prairie fire. sSNA ag ichelned: tela wire cieties__ Hon. U. L.

Balls of fire, according to cattle men, formed on’ the tips of the cattle’s horns, A Cheynne county ranchman reported driving a bunch of cattle through the storm at night with the cattle furnisa- ing a continuous display. Automobiles on highways in the western nart of the state halted without explanation. Batteries in many instances were burned out and persons touching metal parts received shocks, An electrician of Hutchinson got his automobile going as usual by letting a wire trail behind the car which grounded the charge. Cooking utensils on stoves be- came so highly charged that housewives had to use flat iron holders or gloves to avoid. a The theory advanced by the state meteorologist for the phenomena. is that although there was no thunder or lightning accompgnying the storm the immense amount’of dust and sand in the air created static electricity. MORE OFFICES, MORE EMPLOYES AND STATE PAYS! Another Department of State of North Dakota: Finds. Home Outside:of Statehouse WHO CARES FOR EXPENSES Hail Insurance Overhead Crowds Out Automobile Registra- tion and Taxpayers Pay Another office will move out of North Dakota’s _statehouse. This time it’ is the automobile re- gistration department, which has to give way for the rapidly expanding state insurance department. . There will not be a new rent bill, for the department will move into the Bank of \North Dakota building, mak- ing use of some of the vacant space for which the state has’ been paying a stiff rent bill. Although the num- ber of employes of the Bank of North Dakota is assailed as extensive by many students of the bank, yet Di- rector-General and Manager F. W. Cathro hasn’t been able to fill up the big, four- story building the state rents, é The insurance’ department will be! consolidated in new offices in the statehouse, according to Commission- er 'S.

While the expense has increased, a number of restrictions have been made. _Asthe- law now stands, the commissioner explained, adjustments Will ‘be made only on hail losses which occur between June 10 and Septem- ber 15.0 The legislature first’ appropriated $50,000 for the expense Of the de- partment, but the adjustment cost amounted to $48,000 in one year alone, Mr. Olsness explained, saying the volume of business had increased. The appropriation’ was increased to $100,000. Since April 3, 1919, a little more ‘than a year, the’department has spent approximately $92,000, ‘With about 270 hail insurance adjusters on the 'pay-roll, it is probable that the expense will increase in the ‘next year. k In explaining the bail insurance !aw to the adjusters, Commissioner Olsness\ said’a lot of nice things avout the law ‘but also explained that many difficulties were encountered because under the law the department was confined to certain specific lines of ac- tion, while companies not -hampered by the law were more elastic. shock, | s 6the exclusive dancing. measure.

Columbus, 0., May 27.— Ohio will have one- year of prohibition today. Both wets and drys have issued formal statements on the effects of Prohibition in the twelve months. James A. White, superintendent of the Ohio Anti-Saloon league, said: “The benefits of prohibition are on every hand—fewer men in jail; more personal liberty. Commitments to Ohio penitentiary have decreased; Cincinnati will close workhouse first of June; Columbus workhouse farm leased; workhouse in Toledo to be di- verted to other purposes. ‘Arrests for drunkeness have decreased more than fifty per cent. “Saving accounts {ncreasing everywhere. Business men benefitted by purchase of legitimate supplies for the home, and merchant’s accounts paid more promptly. Chil- dren being better supplied with the necessities of life and wives made happier. “All these benefits have aceruea ‘to the state, notwithstanding the en- forcement code is being held up by wets to a referendum, and state is compelled to depend largely on the national government for enforcement of prohibition, with efforts’ of the wets to ‘buy every official whose oath of office is for sale,” | Brewers’ View William F.
