Evening Letter By Justice J. E. Robinson “Bring the good old bugle boys, We'll sing another song, Sing it as we used to sing it, Twenty thousand strong.” Twenty thousand voters are signing for a measure to reduce by fifty per cent, the unpaid taxes of the past three years, Of course objections are made by those who receive and thos: who squander the taxes. It is said that to cancel half the unpaid taxes will mean that about $1,000,000.00 of registered hail warrants will be worthless and several other millions that may be registered will also be held worthless, To avoid any such claim the measure (as. every one should know) that “a special assess- ment for hail insurance, or any local improvement is not a tax,” and it is not, in any manner, affected by a tax reduction. Of course a general levy of three Gents an acre against all lands is a tax and it is not legal. If there might be a levy of three cents an acre, there ‘might be a levy of $3.00 an acre. Now it is quite manifest that during the past three years the as- gessments, and tax levies, were ruin- ously oppressive, unjust and illegal, and any person who pays half the tax levied against his lands does his full duty regardless of the fact that others may have done more than their duty. Then it appears that those taxes have been. well protested; at the special election in Towner county, and at each subsequent general election and the recall election, the people protested \and voted against the excessive taxes. Now if they do not sign up for reduced taxes and vote for it at the primary election, you may well call them dubs. Of course we must look for a howl from those who receive and those who squander the taxes. You can answer them only by force of the ballot, or in the way that Shylock was answered when he insisted on the letter of his bond, We have in the state many lit- tle Shylocks, or tax receivers, who in- sist on the letter of their bond, even though it drive to ruin, and drive out ot the state, thousands of good, worthy pioneer settlers. We need not argue to prove that the tax reduction can do no injury to any honest person. The reduction, may for a-short time, defer the payment of some claims and it may not defer any payment. It may save the sheep that is lost. It ‘may save half the unpaid taxes of nineteen }and twenty by giving hope and cour- age to the pioneer settler and making it possible for him to. clear his land titles by paying his just share of the taxes. That will show that the peo- ple have honesty and courage to undo a great wrong. You cannot fool all the people all the time. They are not dubs. Read the story of Shylock and learn how a party, may lose IMs wealth by asserting an unjust claim. R. S.—In the Tribune ‘of yesterday, Mr, Obert Olson claims~that without his knowledge, or consent, his name/| was used as one of the committee for the petitioners on the eleven initiative measires and hat he did not know. of it. until about a month-ago. Here are the facts: In my Saturday evening letter of January 14th, the first seven initiative measures were published with blank lines for the nameg of the committee. My Saurday evening let- ter of January 21st contained this paragraph; are named as a committee for peti- tions: Frank Evans, Cert Olson, Judge Coffey, 0, E. Anderson and Ed -Hughes.” One night of the week prior to January 21st, in the lobby of the Grand, Pacific, Frank Evans sat in his usual chair, Judge Coffey sat.on his right, Obert Olson stood just in front of them. The talk was on the initiative measures. I asked Frank Evans to name a member of the com- mittee for the petitioners. He named I agreed to it. Mr. Ol- leased, as well he might, It was re to give his name a state wide ad- rtisement. Then on one night, with- in a week, at my room in the hotel, the committee met. There wag pres- ent, Frank Evans, Obert Olson, 0. E. Anderson and Ed Hughes. ‘lhe ‘avowed purpose was to talk over the measures | and the w of the committee.

IN CAHILL CASE Will be Pressed If Courts Should Overturn ‘Present With- drawal, Reported Ouster charges against, J. I. Cahill, because of -his conduct asa member of the board of administration, have not been dropped as a result .of.the declaration by the Governor .that Ca- hill has forfeited his office through failure to qualify, it was learned to- If Mr. Cahill should make a legal fight and be successful in efforts to retain his place on the question of his having failed to qualify, ouster proceedings will be instituted, and a hearing held before the Governor. The charges were,.held in abeyance when it was found that Cahill had not qualified. The attitude, of Governor Nestos is understood to be that neglect upon the part of Cahill in the matter of qualifying, especially in the matter of exercising’ power over expenditure of great sums of money without having been bonded, justified immediate re- moval, and would save the expense of ‘bringing witnesses from the various . State institutions to testify at what might be a long, drawn out hearing dealing with the manner of the board's | letting of contracts, and other specific | charges against Cahill alone.

COURT Ready to Concede That The Case Would Be Dismissed North Dakota’s supreme court, in handing down its recent opinion up- on the taxing of bank stock made im- possible the continuing of a case be- fore the United States Supreme Court in which the taxes of the National Banks in North Dakota are involved for the year 1919. C. C. Conyerse, Tax Commissioner was*not ready to con- cede that the case would be dismissed but admitted that he did not ‘feel that the attorney general would be lucky in attempting to collect taxes before the United States Supreme ‘court which the supreme court of the state had declared to be illegally levied. In its opinion, the North Dakota supreme court held that the tax levies for 1919 were illegal. were paid by the state banks, but the tional Banks in North Dakota fought the collection of the levies in the courts, where it is now pending with good prospects that it will never be brought to trial.

Watch and Jewelry Repairing . By Experts. Most anyone, can take a watch apart and put-it to- gether. This is not much of a trick. To clean and repair a watch perfectly requires not only mechanical knowledge, but years of experience. Pivots working in jeweled ‘bear- ings must be carefully examined to insure smoothness and accuracy. The proper setting of jewels is very im- « portant, hair spring and balance wheel adjustment. is essential. Every working part requires careful examination if the watch is to keep accurate time, as the slightest de- fect in adjustment means irregular motion and eventual ruin of one or more expensive parts. Twenty to Thirty Years Experience. Everyone connected with this institution has had at least 20 years experience in watch and jewelry: manu- facture and repair work: New and modern machinery for the most accurate work has been installed here. Thus we can guarantee superior work. In jewelry repair and manufacture we add an artistic touch that gives. addi- tional beauty to even the finest product of the jewelers art.
