Four years ago Townley pledged the Nonparti- san league to an.immediate reduction in taxes. _ This promise has been unfulfilled. Taxes,’ in ‘ North Dakota have increased under the New Day. In one year alone, 1918-1919, the increase was 109 per cent. On the eve of election the voters should con- sider the cost of the utopia. This can be done by a comparison of tax increases in North Dakota guring the last few ‘yéars—Here is food for Editor BURNS AND SM thought: 1916 to 1917 .......... 18 Per Cent - 1917 to 1918 ..... ++... 65 Per Cent 1918 to 1919 ......,\...109 Per Cent Now that the New Day has arrived, it is safe to estimate that the tax increase from 1919 to 1920 will be more than 200 per cent. Our neighbor Montana has a much lower cost of government. In 1919 the general tax totaled $3,742,616.32, while in Montana the general tax . budget was only $1,317,552.74. In addition North Dakota paid a hail tax of $3,959,647.94, and special taxes such as ‘income, workman’s compensation and minor assessments that swell the grand total and present a record that staggers thoughtful citizens both on the farm and in the cities. A continuation of, the Townley rule means a greater tax load. The program this economic dreamer has mapped out has for its ultimate ob- jective the confiscation of- private property by taxation. i ‘ . Voters. of North Dakota you are stockholders in the great corporation whose assets: these so- cialists have levied upon at will. It is time for a new management and. a} new board: of directors in the shape of an unbossed legislature. Place J. F. T. O’Connor and the entire fusion ticket at the helm. / AN ELECTION MYSTERY \ Some millions of American men and Women will go to the polls tomorrow and coma away under_ the impression that they have voted for either Senator Harding or. Governor Cox, of Ohio, for president. What they have done is to have voted for a certain group of electors. It is these men, 53 of them, who really cast the vote that elects a president. And 266 votes will accomplish that. The reason folks know “who is elected” before’ they go to bed on election night, is that it is absolutely certain just how each group of presi- dential electors in each state will vote if chosen. For 124 years no presidential elector among some 60,000, more or less, has ever viclated that understanding. The successful groups ‘of electors meet in RS Capitol: on the second Monday in January” id cast the votes for their states for president,‘and vice president. Then these votes will be séaled up and sent to the president of the United States Senate, Vice President Thomas R. Mafshall. ‘On Wednesday, Feb. 9, 1921, the: vice president, in ‘tre HAE Byggence of the Senate, and House of Repre- sentatives, will open the ballots and count them, and report the result to the joint session. Because of this method of reaching a given point, one can see why ‘Vice President Marshall next Feb. 9 will not be completely flabbergasted by the result when he counts the ballots, nor will he say prophetically: “I told you so” with any effect. A NEW NOVEMBER As it comes, people look upon November as a month of shrill, gusty winds, spitting snow, and whirling leaves, a bleak, dire and doleful brother in the -year’s family of 12 children. Why isn’t it a month of happiness and good cheer? It is filled with good things. November is the month of Thanksgiving, which is to be celebrated in goodly style on Thursday, the 25th of this month. November smacks of turkey and cranberry sauce, and of football and chrysanthe- mums. It is a hunting month, too, when lovers of the gun are out for big game and small. Then .the barns of the farmers are fat with the harvest, though the fields are bare. Cellar shelves groan with the weight of newly canned fruit. Cellar bins bulge with their freight of apples and po- tatoes and cabbages. The kraut barrel gives off an appetizing odor. Pigs are ready for sac ifice and hams and bacon will soon be curing in the smoke of corncobs and hickory. On the farm the month of November is the month of cider-making and. apple butter “cul- 4 { RISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1920 ture.” The cold,:snappy days are really great days. November, both in city and country, ought to bea glad season. The keen air makes one move the faster. The blood tingles and one feels it is} good just to be alive. BOLIVAR Few lovers of liberty read the history of Simon Bolivar without a thrill. A youth at the waning of the French Revolution, he lived through its’ last days in Paris. Venezuela, in 1809, he joined the rebels against Spain. Quickly Bolivar’s passion for liberty, his elo- quence and his military ability were necognized. Victory, defeat and again victory set on his shoulder. In 1819 he was able to make his his-| toric march over the Cordilleras, a feat paral- leling Napoleon’s crossing of the Alps—join forces with: Santander, and win the crucial battle of Bojata. Like Washington, Bolivar was, as great a statesman as a soldier. He dreamed of a United] | States in South America. But just as his schem seemed ready for fruition, political opponent ‘balked it. If he had not achieved his great goal, however, he had set the fires of liberty alight throughout the continent. Independence, the doc- trine of equality and resentment of slavery, burn as high today in hearts of South America as they do in our own. \ THE SAME THING! - A woman says she is “just too tired to do an- other thing today.” Sometimes she really is But a good many times what she means is more likely “too tired to go on doing the ‘same thing another minute!” “Variety is the mother of enjoyment.” Dis- raeli said; and Coyper—“Variety is the very spice of life.’ Most folks think of the applica- tion in terms of pleasures only. It’s just as true of work. At the end of a day of household “duties give | > a woman who says she is “just worn out” a new piece of work to do, of an entirely different na- ture. It may be clerical work to assist her hus- ‘band; it may be a business meeting of some | really serious sort in a club of which she is an officer; or it may be welfare work of a possibly disagreeable nature. In nine cases out of ten, she will go at it with fresh enthusiasm and carry it through to a finish before she tires, unless the, hours drag out too unconscionably long. of | course, no one can be expected to enthuse over} anything, work or plegsure, if too long deprived | ‘of rest. And the tenth worhan will be she who was \veally as’ tired as she thought she was—who had actually consumed so much mental and physical | energy in her first work that variety could not; ‘take the place of total rest for a few hours. Or, at the end of a business woman’s full day in her office, watch her go home to prepare din: inex, possibly follow that with some ‘sweeping or dusting, or fruit-carining, or perhaps ironing. If she is not “run down” she will tackle whatever household duties need accomplishing, with almost , the zest she started out with at the office that | morning—because it’s something new, it gives her thoughts a new track to run on for a few ; hours. ese NEIGHBORS THAT COUNT An elderly man whose opinion is considered worth something in the community was asked the other day what he thought were proper attributes of “the people next door.” And he said: . “Pye been living#here for ,nearly 40 years. Folks’on either side of us have come and gone. The people I like best:for neighbors are those who do these things: ‘They keep the place neat and clean, favor repainting ‘once in awhile; hang cut a washing every.Monday morning; Tuesday is ironing day. ; : “They'll lend'their lawn mower if-you’ll bring it back. They’ll do the same with a pinch of salt or an egg ora cup of flour. They will go_out of their way to do a favor. They like little child- ren, and appreciate that none are perfect. They keep the garbage can covered, and keep the chick- ens in their yard and not in ours. They are not too curious about who comes and goes at our house. They mind thcir own business, an eX- cellent trait. : “What the grocer brings in or the laundryman carries out doesn’t interest them. They are not snoopy. If, once in awhile, there’s a good deal of noise at’ our house, they don’t telephone that they are about to call the police. They are ap- preciative, kindly, ‘companionable, neighborly. “They live as nearly by the Golden Rule as is humanly possible, 1 guess. And that being so, we do the same.

The ‘judgment is” for services performed for and at the re- quest ‘of the defendant in the thresh- ing of grain at $15 an hour. The an- Sver ot the appellant- was’ merely a general denial. Yet, on the trial, his j veal defense was that in leasing the land on which the grain was grown and’ inall’ matters “pertaining: to ‘the séeding, harvesting and threshing, he acted as the agent of his wife to whom he had conveyed the land. Hows ever, as he acted as the principal and real party and did not by answer nisclose. that his wife had any in- asked the teach- terest in the matter, he is justly chargeable as principal.

The famous beauty is seen during a ance number of “The Midnight Frolic,” a big Ziegfeld production now yurrent in New York. This number Was filmed by courtesy of Mr. Zieg- feld himself. Charles J. Brabin, the director, as- sembled his cameramen on the roof of the New Amsterdam theatre to be in readiness for the conclusion of the show. Lights had been reinforced by special illuminating apparatus nec- essary for filming and at 1:30 in the morning arrangements were finally completed and the cameraman began to crank. . ‘ Brilliant” scenes taken! during the height of festivities at the Palais Royal, a’ famous New York cafe, are also used in the second episode of “While New York Sleeps.” We Seem to Have a Bumper Crop of Every- ' thing This Year Except Demecrats.

THE PUBLIC “After being in bad shape for more than a year I am\a well man again, thanks to Tanlac,” declared Joseph Stanley, 3201 Finley Place, Minne- apolis, Minn. “My stomach had been in such an awful condition that I could not eat a single thing. without its hurting me. My food would ferment, bloating me up with gas, and I had Constant pains in the pit of my stomach. My kidneys also worried me a great deal and I had such a severe pain in the small of my back it was an effort for me to bend over. I was badly con- stipated, and often had dizzy spells. I couldn't get a good night's sleep and would get up in the mornings feeling dull and stupid. I lost at least fifteen pounds in weight, grew weaker every day, felt tired and worn out ~|all the time and finally just had to give up ‘and stop work. “I was in this ¢ondition when 1 began taking Tanlac, but I had taken only a few doses whenI ¢ommenced getting better. While I have only taken four bottles so far my whole system has been built up and I can eat anything I want without suffer- ing from it afterwards. My kidneys do not worry me. any more and the pains in my back have entirely gone. I am never constipated, never become dizzy and have regained all my. lost weight and strength and feel as well , as I ever did in my life.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos.

Senator Harding, the Repubican candidate, at the “front. porch” in Marion. Aaron S. Watkins, the Prohibition standard bearer, at his new home in Cincinnati, O. Three out of the seven in Ohio, the rest are. scattered. Eugene W. Debs, the Socialist can- didate, at the federal prison at Atlan- ta, Ga. Parley P. Christensen, the nominee of the Farmer-Labor Party, at his home at Salt Lake City, Utah. There probably won’t be any re- “urns Tuesday night for two other presidential nominees whose names have been prominent on middle west- ern ballots. These are ‘Robert C. Macauley. of Philadelphia, the single tax candidate, and William W. Cox of Missouri, who heads the Socialist- Labor ticket. .Returns on the minor candidates are generally several days coming in. Debs will get the returns through the national socialist headquarters in Chicago.’ It has arranged to telegraph him.’ If the party polls a heavy vote it reports it may make special an- nouncement to him on Nov. 5. which marks Debs’ 65th birthday: FARM BUREAU . MAY BE FORMED Dickingon7°Nov. 1.—Announcement from the Agricultural College that a conference will be held in the near future to consider the advisability of forming a State Farm Bureau Federa- tion, has aroused the interest of a number of members of the Stark Coun- ty ‘Farm Bureau, and it is probable that a meeting of the executive com- mittee and community chairmen will be held soon to choose a delegate to attend the state meeting. At this meeting the vote on co-oper- ative extension work, to be taken at the state election. will also be dis- cussed, as the.Farm Bureau will have no agents to carry on its work should the voters turn down extension work. and also the county will lose the fed- eral and state funds appropriated to | help earé for the expense of these agents.
