The Tribune. believes the time has come to enter a protest against in- creages in special assessments until some of the obligations assumed are partially discharged. hele start must be. made somewhere and the proposed bond issue election is the proper place for the voters of the city to register a protest. In the first place the city commission ‘should never have ordered the election in face of present conditions.and of the high tax. load, but now that the step has been taken, it behooves the taxpayers to study the financial situation before casting their ballots. If when all the facts are known, the people de- sire to plungé.a little deeper. into debt, why-there will be nothing: to do but bear with the results. Every step of this kind taken until the present overhead is reduced means less. money for the’ business development of Bismarck. It, means also that more paople than is now the case will. become delinquent in tax. payments., To continue pyra- miding the city debt means more property. listed in tax sales‘and a greater tardiness in meeting tax. payments—a situation which is actually em- barrassing the city today. 4 “Why if everyone would pay up their taxes, the city would be in fine shape,” is a stock excuse of those. who think that big taxes mean eity deé- velopment. , If: these. expert financiers who. are defending the bond: issue would only get their ears to the ground they can easily. determine, why | ‘ fifty or sixty per cent of the taxpayers have failed} to meet their taxes promptly.

As a part of the apparent continuation of the house |’ of representatives investigation he }, identified through, {pe minutes of the board of directors"of the Scandina- vian-American bank several small county banks, which were shown in the house investigation to have re- ceived. largé deposits from the Bank of North Dakota, as “associate banks” of, the Scandinavian bank. {It was shown in the minutes of the board of directors mecting that cer- | tain notes given for stock and car- i vied for the “associate. panks” were | passed and approved by the board of | airectors of ‘the.
