” AMENDMENT ON ROADS PUT OFF | UNTIL IN FALL June Primary Too Close to Per-| mit Circulation of Petitions BODY IN STATEMENT Because of the time necessary for | the preparation and presentation of} the constitutional amendment and the | two initiated laws, the executive | qommittee of the North Dakota Good | Roads Ass ion has decided ta} postpone the initiation of the laws | until the election of November ‘th, | insteed of presenting them at the | primaries, June 28, | “Owing to the fact that there has | become apparent such an intense in- | terest in the initiation of the propos- | ed Constitutional Amendment and the | two iaws,” cays Will (Helbein, sec- ; retary of the Association in announc- | ing the postponement, “that the North Dakota Good Roads Association. has | decided to place bofore the voters of the stat» at the June prim: year, and also believing that the wid- est possible J ion ‘among the people ef the state would be only} fair and j the executive commit: | tee cf the ‘th Dakota Good Rpads ; Association hes decreed that the| amendment and the two bills will not | be initiated at the June primaries, | ‘but at the General Election, Novem- ber 7, 1922. “It is felt that the extra time would | not only allow a full discussion of the proposed measures, but would give the Good Roads associa- tion an opportunity to answer all questions that might arise, and give whatever opposition the measure might have ample time in which to place themselves in the right light before the people of the state. “The North Dakota: State Good Roads Association does not wish’ to force upon the voters of North Da- kota enything that they do not fully understand. After even a year’s in- vestigation and counsel the officers and members of the association feel that the amendment and the two laws as drawn are the last word in sensi- ble highway legislation, and they feel that they are willing to fight io the last ditch for the measures just as they are worded. And this will be done. There has been some misrep- resentation about these measures by selfish men throughout the state, and it would perhaps be hard to- offset this misrepresentation in the short time be‘ore the primaries, but with | the several months more between now and general election it is hoped ‘and expected that all voters in the state will be fully informed of these mis- representations and will also know what actruated the parties making them. ce “Some may say that the amend- ment—or laws might be changed and made stronger or better. As far as the amendment is concerned the North Dakota State Good Roads as- sociation feels that it could not be changed in any particular for it meets fully the fedeval status, and therefore any change might endanger its ef- fectiveness. Inasmuch as the next session of the state legislature will be held two months after the general election any errors in the two pro- posed laws can be remedied by the legislature.” i iN EVERYTHING Calumet Baking “i Powder is First in Quality / —received highest awards at the World’s Pure Food Exposition, Chica- go, Illinois; Paris Exposition, Paris, France.

BY ROY GIBBONS, Chicago, Feb. 28—Art for, art’s. sake alone, grew tedious for two young women here and so Miss Row- ena Young and her co-partner, Ora Nelson, veered away from sheer ideal- ism and are now on the road to wealth. , Wasted scraps—broken pieces of wood—in a furniture factory, where they were employed as designers, in- spired an inventive faculty now carn- ing them thousands of dollars. It was following a hard day of toil that Rowena came home to their lit- tle studio apartment and said: “Let’s do something that can take us away from all this.” And thus were born the “Timber- Tots”—newest fashions of the doll world, made from abandoned table legs and cast off bits of bri-a-brac. With the increasing popularity. of these toys has grown the fortunes of their two creators, who now employ A FARMER'S VIEW Van Hook, N. Dak., Feb. 21: 1922. Editor Tribune: . y I notice a good deal is being said about Judge Robinson’s measure for a law to cancel one half of all delin- quent taxes of the past three years, together with all interest, costs and penalties. This proposed measure, we believe is unfair, unprogressive, im- practical and illogical. ‘Our state constitution grew out of a generally accepted feeling, om. the part of its citizens that moneys re- {quired to maintain our state govern- ment should ibe derived by taxation in fairness to all and partiality to none. Our law makers were convinced that nothing but ruin and chaos would result from a system which al- lowed one to neglect his taxes and compelled them to be paid by an- other. Therefore it ‘was necessary, to exact a severe penalty for delinquency and avoid discrimination. If such a theory as Judge Robinson is sound, it would be equally sound to’say/“Let us allow our taxes to become delinquent in the future,” then have Judge Robinson or some one with equally false theories, draw up another similar measure for a law to have our delinquent taxes can- celled. ns will be made as soon y e to do so without im- g the welfare of the citizens of tate. t..must be remembered that. all taxes of the past year were levied for a directed purpose. Bills and debts have been contracted ‘and warrants issued against these tax levies which can only be taken care of and liquidat- ed by payment in full of these delin- quent taxes. The writer can truthfully. say, that like many others he has made many almost 100; workers, salesmen, and distribute their :product throughout the world. rs “We had several thousand “Tim- ber Tots” on our hands before we started selling,” Miss Young said. “Then we went to. the work of marketing our product with a punch. “Business has been booming. We find no such thing as depression. In the past 10 ‘weeks wé have opened more than 400 new accounts.” Both girls—neither is over 26—say that what kept them at their work was the idea of vindicating their own estimation of themselves. “And then, too, we thought it was about time that children be given some sort of new doll,” says Miss Young. : “Even w0od has a soul when you touch it right. And there is use for everything that is left. The lumber scrap piles will put_us on easy street within the next six months.” IN THE PEOPLE'S FORUM _ | Sacrifices, deprived his wife and, little |children cf innumerable home com- forts to which they should be entitled and in addition to borrowing money at 10 per cent interest that we might meet our taxes, a direct obligation due our state, county, and townships that our various institutions which depend on these taxes might survive and function, and that our “Judge might live in peace and prosperity. ‘Now Judge Robinson proposes again to unjustly burden us, our wives and little ones’ with these “slackers” du- ties. How about the ill for publishing the delinquent tax list which is a lia- bility coptracted solely and directly by these delinquencies? Does the Judge figure to cancel this huge sum or does he tliink that those who have already paid their fair share of taxes should take care’ of this also for which they are entirely innocent? I ‘am ‘sure anyone who sponsors, promotes or agitates or signs this pe- tition can not have the welfare of our state at heart, ‘as it is not productive of good government but rather de- structive as it tends to penalize the good thrifty citizens by double taxa- tion and retain the unthrifty class by non-taxation. In looking over this delinquent tax jlist I-think you will find that the ma- jority are leaguers. Now if they had |paid those $16 or $18 dues and the contributions to “recall fund” and |“Lemke fund” into their county treas- urer’s office it would have gone.a long 'ways toward shortening this delin- quent tax list. I tell you, readers, it Tis another indirect way to compel the {independent liberty. loving citizens of this state to finance the nonpartisan league movement. If Judge Robinson will not with- draw this petition for this infamous measure from circulation we must be prepared to fight it to its death. My slogan is “Equal rights to all, par- tiality to none.”/ Constructive criticism and sugges- tions desired. i Will the press of the state please copy. A. J. FOX, Farmer, Van Hook, N. Dak. i Underwood, N. D. Editor’ The Tribune: c I read the letter in the Bismarck Tribune Forum Department written by Justice J. E. Robinson in which he states the Tax Commission has drafted a new law in regard to the liquidation of all unpaid real estate taxes for the years 1920 and 1921. In my mind this would be the height of folly. In the first place the unpaid real estate taxes are asa rule on real estate owned by banks, real estate men and large land owners, In-most cases the poorer class who owns only one quarter or one-half section of land ‘have paid their real estate taxes and they have made sacrifices to do so. Now who will it help to cancel these taxes, since the man has: paid his’ taxes will not have any returned to him. It would be the rich people they have used their money to better advantagé than that, of paying their taxes. If the Honorable Judge wants to help the poor class, as she states, ‘why don’t he go about in it some other way, for. instance by issuing bonds to run the government of the state for about two years, The town- ship and county) could do the same and not levy taxes during those two yeans. If thellaws on the statute books would not permit this being done con- stitutionally a special session of the legislature could be called to pass regular laws to that effect Tf "he 1919, 1920 and, 1921 taxes are cancelled, how will the schoo] boards will. outstanding ‘watrants of the vil- lage, townships. county and state be paid? All warrants drawn on the above ‘would immediately go from 50 to 75 per cent discount, if a ‘person could realize anything on them at all. That would cause condition in North Da- kota ten times worse than that caused by tthe freak laws passed by the N. P. League the past six years. . To make his suggestions sincere 'to reduee tax levies let him start. at home and reduce voluntarily his sal- ary say at least 50 per cent, and do- mate back to the general famd of the state 50 per cent of all tia monthly: salary that he receives as justice of the supreme court. That would at east show that he was sincere in his advice to the people. 2 i The voters should refuse to si#n any petition to reduce thé taxés al- Teady levied. If they want to reduce the taxes let them reduce the levies at the spring election of township and village and at the school election as well as-.the county and state. ; Then we must.stop all township. village ahd county and state work, and reduce the school térm a counle of months. That is the only way that taxes can logi- cally be reduced. Respectfullv, : A TAXPAYER. Feb. 22, 1922. Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 27, 1922. Editor Bismarck Tribune: vetitions proposing to initiate a law by which one half of the unpaid taxes for the years 1919, 1920 and 1991 are to be cancelled, are being signed free- ly wherever they are being circulated and it is contended that the reauired number of signers will be obtained being signed up. There is no question in my mind ‘but what the required number of signers who would benefit by such a law as] be able to pay thegteachers and how] DOLLS FROM LUMBER PILES BRING GIRLS; A FORTUNE Sisters Two pretty girls, sharing the same beauty secret, ‘although one lived 3,000 years ‘ago.

But the firm, long wearing cake of gener- , ous size costs only 10 cents. A The reason is gigantic production which keeps the Palmolive factories working day and night and the importation of the bland, mild oils in the vast volume which feduces cost. Thus this finest facial soap, which if made in small quantities would cost at least 25 cents, is offered at the popular price which all can afford for every toilet purpose. z THE PALMOLIVE COMPANY y MILWAUKEE, U. 8.

If Judge Robinson will ever be al- lowed to file his petitions and the people given a chance to vote on his proposed law, it wil carry by a large majority, ibecause. people generally love their pocketbooks more than any thing else, regardless of results.

The letters indicate that there is a scarcity of money to pay laborers, and that the wages ‘fered will be from $20 to $40 a mon.., with the average about $25. But one reply thus far has indicated it might be possible.to pay as high as $40 per month.
