The war office was so firmly, convinced for a long time ‘that the:Germans, would invade Eng-: land by Zeppelin or‘carrier planes that-it insisted move troops to meet the attack. Day and night, locomotives, steam up and coupled to the trains, were in instant readiness. It was generally understood that England feared an invasion from across the channel, particularly Hartlepool shelling. ‘But the war office near panic went unguessed, at least, outside of England. This late disclosure helps to explain why England did not place a larger force on the west front prior to 1916. England slashed a great deal of landscape along the channel and the North sea with trénches and ether defensive works. This was known, of course, but it was regarded as more of a precau- tion against a remote possibility than as a defense against probable invasion. It now appears that these ‘trenches were not dug as “practise work”| for pioneer battalions. 3; This is another of the many war secrets, zeal- ously hidden for years, now coming to light. It) emphasizes the English fear, centuries old, of what may come from across the channel. It em- phasizes also some of the reasons why the Eng- lishman so willingly pays for the great warships of the Empire.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. | THE REAL TAXPAYERS The American Federation of Labor registers a, low ideal of labor and of ciitzenship when it pro- tests against revision of the taxation system of the country merely upon the ground that it may require persons of lesser means to bear some share of the public burden. Paying a share of the pub-; lic expense is just as much a right as bearing arms in the public defense. No man should be too poor to claim his share in the obligation. The trouble about most of the revenue raising methods today is that they pretend to exempt the The ex- emption is not indeed f-- contribution to the na- tional treasury but only from the consciousness of contributing to it. For behind the whole theory of levying on wealth and ‘profits lies the fallacy that wealth and profits can pay taxes without the support of the entire community. If Mr. Gompers and his associate chiefs of the \federation would give sufficient thought to the imatter they would see that the country at large is already paying all the taxes; only the poor are ‘deprived of the pride and the selfrespect-which jthey would derive from direct payment. -The rich \are intermediaries between the, government and |the consumers, who really pay most of the taxes but have no-sense of responsibility for the expen- diture of public money. because they are kept blind !as to the fact that it is their money.—New York 'Journal of Commerce, a a have been made'lte™do¢manyy loqkerd up in the cells | ithan. the proposed {amendments and initiated laws.

The act also authcrizes the trustees to compromise claims’ for ‘the ; bank as against its debtors and to convey, assign or set over to others all the'real and person- al property loaus and notes and other evidences ‘of indebtedness. There is no limitation on this’preventing them from selling this property of the sta as cheap as ore cent on the doll: they so ‘desire or actuaily giving it It is very clear that to secure a reasonable consideration before selling the. property is in order that these trustees may ‘cut the melon’ and hand away to, their political sup- state in payment of their political obligations in the carppaign now gcing on. They! hope that'by destroying the Bank of! North Dakota through the medium otf this act to stop low interest rate long- ‘time farm loans and give their frien the loan sharks, an opportunity to establish extortionate . interes! * i H Regarding the public depositary law] the argument says in part: “A pub-| lic depositary law was passed by the} legislature in the last session which) eluditig the Bank of North Dakota, as? a public.depositary. It covers all thet ground covered by this proposed laws}, ‘After it was passed the Fargo Forum: stated that the best that the L. V. A. forces could do was to secure the: ahove depositary act which permitted | private banks to compete with the Bank of North Dakota on equal terms. The only real difference between that act and this proposed measure 1s that} the preposed measure disqualifies the; Bank of North Dakota irom receiving} public deposits of any kind.” ' Amendment to the Industrial Com-; mission Law. The league says: “Un- der this act purporting -io provide for the completion and operaticn of the! mil! and elevator at Grand Forks, mJ1} who have always opposed the state! industries and contended that they; could not succeed will be placed in: charge of them. The act provides aft-| er the passage of considerable time; Yor the appointment cf private citizens to sit as members of tne commission | ” put fails entirely to provide any com-/ pensation for them. The 1. V.

The act wipes out of existence the old industrial commission law but fails to | provide any new manasement for the} Bank of North Dakota, therefore, if the people should refuse to recall the present commission and refuse to dis- | solve the Bank of North Dakota (}: passing this deceptive act). th -would, nevertheless, wipe out of exist- ; ence the Bank of North Dakota.” } 8 8 i Rural Credits Law.’ “This act should | properly be termed “The Rural Credits} ‘Bunco Act,” aserts the league Hel “ty. “A careful reading of the act re- RECALL CAULDRON j derstand and the supporters of this ar- veals that no capital is provided’ with which to,make farm loans. It provides that the board take over the farm loans of the Bank of North Dakota but requires them to issue bonds secured by ‘the farm loans taken over and: to pay the proceeds of thuse bonds hack to the Bank of North Dahota. Clearly, it is provided with no capital and could make no loans. It. purports’ to permit the issuance of warrants and vonds; exceeding in ‘amount the total of cash on hand, cash in banks, and mortgages, while the present constitu- tion and the propcsed constitutional; amendment does: not permit. the issu- ance of such bends unless they. are ured by equal amount of first mort- gages. Therefore, the act is in that, spect unconstitutional, It-provides the issuance of bonds to’ be signed by the governor, state treasurer and sec- retary of state. In that respect, it is unconstitutional. It purports to pro- vide for sinking funds to pay the bonds but then provides for tne disposal of that fund, permitting all.moneys in the fund to be reinvested in mortgages. Therefore, if any bonds were issued, when they matured there would be no money and nothing but unmatured mortgages with which to pay the bonds.” wees Proposed constitutionai amendment. “In discussing this amendment,” says the league, “the I. V. A.’s have delib- erately falsified, amendment ,reduces the debt limit ot} y unsecured bonds from 31,000,000 to $7. 750,000, The fact is that the total amount of unsecured bonds which may he issued by the state under the pres- ent constitution in $2,000,000 and this proposed “constitutional. amendment ctually raises the limit to $7,750,000. The language is too plain to misun-! gument know they lie when they claim the act reduced the limit of unsecured bonds. This proposed constitutional amendment limits the amount which may be used for completing the mijll and elevator at Grand Forks-and oper- at:ng it to two and one-half million | EVERETT TRUE ESE ARE THS ARTICLES, « SEGCOND-HANO DEAER, ROLL TOP DESK, Swiver CHAIR ANDO HAT Race, ALL CAIC, ONITLON.

That is merely.a false state- ment designed to fool the voter be- cause the body of the ac: provides that the election’ is each time held in March resulting in thousands of voters | béing. snowed in, in the flerce * bliz- zards, so that in many hundred pre- cincts in the country no election can be held. They hope ‘hy setting this) primary election for, candidates for Congress and U. S. Senators {n the month of March that they will be able ority of the total votes of the state. Another hidden purpose of the act is to have the precinct committeemen} elected in-the frozen month of March. Heretofore, under the present laws we vote for committeemen in the primary! election in June and since the present, administration, came, into power the Republican party central committee has always been controlled by the Jarge progressive majorities.
