(Established 1873) i> BURLEIGH OPPOSES RECALL‘ Independent voters of Burleigh county assem- bled in convention through their chosen repre- sentatives have instructed positively against a recall election. The Tribune has opposed a recall from the very inception of the agitation. Not only is the Tribune opposed to a recall in’ this instance, but it is against the entire scheme of political vagaries such as the recall, initiative - and referendum. These political are not necessary under our system of frequent. elections. Every relief the recall, initiative and refer-, 2? “slap-sticks will be instructed or not, or to what point you will push your instruction. And of th’s be assured, I speak from observa- tion a certain truth: THERE IS NO EXCEL- LEENCE WITHOUT GREAT LABOR. ‘It is the fiat of fate, from which no power of genius can absolve you. Genius, unexerted, is like the poor moth that flutters around a candle till it scorches itself to death. If genius be desirable at all, it is only of that great and magnanimous kind, which, like the condor of South America, pitches from the summit of Chimborazo, above the clouds, and sus- tains itself at pleasure in that empyreal region | with an energy rather invigorated than weakened by the effort. | It is this capacity for high and long-continued exertion ‘this vigorous power of profound and . 6.00 searching investigation, this careering and wide-| _ spreading comprehension of mind, and these long ‘reaches of thought that | “Pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, And pluck up drowned honor by the locks;” ‘this is prowess, and these are the hardy achieve- ‘ments which are to enroll your names among the great men of the earth. ‘ WHO WANTS A VENUS? Once more we are informed that the modern girl! is inferior to the Venus de Milo. A University of Pennsylvania professor releases the bad news. He ‘compares the armless wonder with the modern campus flapper and is pessimistic about it. ; Styles in girls change. Venus represents the ideals of ancient Greece.

Frequent and emotional uses of the recall, in- itiative and referendum are hostile to our system | of government and can become instruments of op- pression more easily than they can be used as weapons of defense. | ‘ The present procedure under our initiative and referendum laws places the power to call special elections in the hands of the governor. | comes to recall elections, that function is vested When it in the secretary’ of state. Through him the ad- herents of a recall hope to secure a special elec- ‘tion making it a double-header by. instituting re- calls and by initiating certain laws which if passed +» will have the’effect ofa partial’recall should the recall itself fail. “Elections once in, two years give the people adequate recourse.: To keep thé state in politi- ‘eal turmoil is ill advised and unwise public policy. * The presence of these recall, initiative and refer. endum features in our organic law is a menace to wood and stable government. North Dakota has gained no lasting reform, | no great good out of them. They have defeated: : \ the ends of justice more times than they have sus-! tained these ends. Voters have through confusion | or ignorance of the measures pending reversed, themselves unwittingly. The Tribune hopes the day will ‘come when, * these vagaries will be wiped out of our constitu-! tion and erased from the statute books. They menace sane progress and the orderly | functioning of representative government. THE LESSON HARDING LEARNED What have you read that has influenced your “life the most?

Losses must be reported to the de- | partment direct by registered letier! and within 3 days. Such report: {should be made jn duplicate on the! new blanks furnished by the depart- ment. Every assessor, county ‘udi- tor and bank have a supply of these blanks, and the department asks that only the new formsgive used and taat all the old blanks of every kind be destrayed, as they .will not be ac- cepted.

Such assignments must be filed with the department not later than October Ist of each year. Duties of Assessors. The assessor haye, under the new law; a very important duty to perform, It is up to. them to see to it that every acre of tillable and cropped land in their respective townships -or dis- tricts is listed for state hail tax. The greatest difficulty the department has encountered has come through the neglect of the assessors to. properly, list the lands. This is particularly true of-counties in the western part of the state. Every tract of land subject’ to’ taxation must be listed for hail tax. However, lands classed as Indian lands; homestead lands not patented and lands located within the plotted portion of incorporated cities villages ‘or towns are not subject to the hail tax. The assessors have not the right to acknowledge affidavits of with- drawal, but; at the time of listing oe RICHES DON'T OvERLOOK THIS, of RABBIT es, 7 Py | Hy) ing : THE NEW “STATE HAIL INSURANCE LAW” OF 1924 By Martin S. Hagen, Manager, State Hail Insurance Department lands, should distribute withdrawal blanks, loss notice blanks, applica- tion blanks for additional insurance, extension for time of withdrawal blanks and envelopes to be used when reporting hail loss. No assessor will get paid for list- | ing lands for hail insurance until he \has accounted to his county auditor |for every tract of land in his dis- | trict subject to such, tax. Furth more, assessors, who neglect or fai to list land, are, under the new law, guilty of a misdemeanor. County Auditors the Most Important Cog in the Machinery of the 3 Hail Department. The success of the hail department rests, ‘in a great degree, on the ef- ficient work of each and every county auditor. He is in direct touch with the assessors and the farmers. He {thus has within his reach the means to educate the assessors and. the pub- lic in general, and to inform them of | the provision of the nail law. The hail -department acknowledges and appreciates the hearty co-vperation of the auditors and hopes for continued support. \ Under the new hail law, the coun- ties are to be paid out of the hail AAR By Florence Borner The richest man is not the one, ks That counts -his millicns by the score, < Who is the owner of broad lands, And has of gems a hidden store; For gold hath wings and Leaving a pauper in takes it’s flight, 7 his rags, To retribution a just prey: E’n while of his vast wealth he brags.

However, lit is up to the auditor to see to it i that the county is re-imbursed, as the | department has the right, and intends to exercise same, to substract from such allowance $10 per day for every ; day the auditor is delinquent in filing his blanks and reports with the hail | department. The department sincerely hopes it will be possible for the county audi- tors to help the asessors by writing in the descriptions, of all the lands om the crop-listing books, as this will | do away with the possibility of wrong descriptions being given. This-is par- | ticularly important, as so many peo- | ple don’t-seem to know the descrip- tion of the land they own or rent. {Insurance on Homestead and Indian | Landa, | By applying direct to,the hail de- partment, homestead lands not pat ented and leased Indian lands may be insured against hail, though such lands are not subject to tax. A cer- tifled check to the amount of t |} maximum hail indemnity tax must ac- | company the applications, in addition six cents per acre should be added. As |the maximum tax, under the law, is 50c for $7 per acre insurance and 71¢ for $10 per ‘acre insurance, for In- jdian or homestead lands this would | be 56c and 77%c respectively The de- |partment will make a refund after the levy has been made and if found {that the amount charged was exces- | sive.- The 1920 tax was only 25c per ‘tax; Indian lands would thus have secured insurance at 31c per acre. The 6c additional is for the reason that homestead lands or Indian lands cannot be charged with the 3c tax, {and if there were no additional | charge. for insurance on such ‘lands, , the insurance would be cheapet per acre than on other iands and this would not be fair, The 6c’ would be paid only on the actually cropped and insured lands, whereas the 3c flat tax !is| charged on’ all tillable “lands, | whether cropped or not. | Permanent Hail Fund.. The most important amendment to |the hail law is found in section 6, jwhere it is provided that the-3c flat | acreage tax is to be levied only for j the years 1921, 1922,\1923, 1924, and 1925, and thereafter be, discontinued. | This tax, fram now on, is to. be used {for creating a permanent surplus in ithe hail insurance fund to be applied in paying losses more promptly. This | will mean that by the end of five i years the department will have a sur- | plus fund of, approximately, $4,000,- |000. This statement should’ not be | construed to mean that such moneys ‘cannot be used before five-years, for ithe law. provides that such surplus | may be used every year, but the levy jon the cropped lands must, from now ‘on, take care of all the indemnity, | which would, of course, mean. that the Se tax for the five years will remain surplus. ‘The maximum ‘per acre x, however, remains the same and !cannot be over 50c per acre for $7 | protection or 7lc per acre for $10 per | acre protection. ; The greatest shurtcoming ofthe {State Hail Insurance Department.— | the inability to pay losses promptly— jhas, through this section of the new !law, been remedied. The department | will, in a short time, be able to pay jfor losses as promptly as the line | companies do. : It is anticipated that 'the amount of business done in 1920 | will be exceeded ‘in 1921, as the new |law is certainly a great improvement on the Hail Insurance Act of 1919. | In 1920 the department carried a | risk of $84,930,588 on a total acreage jof 12,132,984 acres insured. The U. S. ' Department of Agriculture gives the inumber of acres of cropped land in ; North Dakota for the year 1920 at 16,- | 582,000 acres. It. will be seen from ithis that the state hail department in {1920 carried insurance on 72.17 per {cent of all the cropped lands in the state, {All necessary blanks and copy of: | the hail law may be had by making | application to the hail department. | Bismarck, North Dakota; Maire. 24, 11921. © Morners FRienp + AID NATURE AND THE PHYSICIAN | She should remain healthy by hav- ing avoided the discomforts. which usually accompany such an occasion where nature is unaided.
