ACTION IN COAL STRIKE UR LAWYERS ARE * POORLY PAID, SAYS SPEAKER, State Tax Commissioner Cites Income Tax Reports in Support of Contention DENTISTS AND DOCTORS Compares Three Incomes as a Class in North Dakota From Reports Given é (Special to The Tribune Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 24.7-In- comes ‘of lawyers are not so great as to excite the envy of men in other professions and businesses in North Dakoth, Tax Commissioner C. C, Con- verse ‘told the members of the Bar Association of North Dakota in ses- sion here today. “Of the 510 lawyers in North Da- kota, only 40 percent of them had large enough net incomes so that they were required to report them to the office of the state tax com- missioner,” Mr, Converse said. There were 206 lawyers constituting the 40 percent that did make reports. Among this better paid class of lawyers, the average net income per year was $3,412, the speaker said. “As you all know, unless it be visit- ors, from outside the state, the ex- emptions under our state income tax law are $2,000 for a married man, plus $200 for ‘each child, and the ex- emption for a single man is $1,000,” Mr. Converse said. “The conclusion follows that 60 percent of our law- yers are so poorly paid that their net incomes fall below these exemp- tion figures. Manifestly they are having their financial troubles with the present price of food, clothing and rent. What about their chil- dren? How can they, on such incomes, assist their children in obtaining as xood an education as they themselves have?” ‘A comparison siows incomes of physicians in the gtate a little higher than lawyers, Mr, Converse — said. While only 40 percent of the lawyers are required to report, 50 percent of the physicians are required to, and of those who do report the av- erage net income is $3,815, while the average net imcome of the lawyers is $3,412, he said. ' In the case of dentists: the tax commissioner reported that there are 213 in the staté, of? which num! 186, or approximately 50 percent, make incomes sufficient that they required to report them for as- sessment of income tax. Of those who do report, he said, the average net income is $2,926 from which, he said, “One may deduce the conclusion that the maximum income of dentists does not run as high in North Dakota as the maximum income of doctors 0! lawyers.” Maximum Incomes “As a matter of fact,” the tax com- missioner continued, “the maximum net income of dentists runs froin $6,000 to $8,000. In the legal profes- sion there are a few lawyers whose incomes are large enough to bring up the general average appreciably, al- though the maximums run from $10,000 to $20,000, The maximum in- come of physicians is much larger than that of lawyers, running from $30,000 to as high as $60,000, and there are a number of physicians whose incomes greatly exceed those of the lawyers who have the largest in- comes, thus, bringing up the aver- age income of physicians. So.much for a comparison which may be sum- med up in the statement that the lawyers are more poorly paid than either dentists or phygicians, and that the maximum income of lawyers does not approach the maximum in- come of physicians.” Turning to the causes of the small incomes of lawyers, Mr, Converse said that-there are both local causes and causes which are nation-wide. Among such causes he noted fore- closure fees, saying that “these have. been reduced to a point where fore- closure work might almost be classed as undesirable and it is a fact that lawyers frequently find that their justice court work is more profitable than their foreclosure work. One may well question whether it is sound public policy to reduce foreclosure fees to such a point that the pur- chaser of North Dakota mortgages Is not protected in the payment of an adequate attorney’s fee in case he is so unfortunate as to be obliged to, foreclose on his security. The in- adequacy of attorneys fees in mortgage foreclosures cannot do otherwise than react unfavorably up- Ps mortgages, and no doubt has a ten- dency to raise the rate \of inte: which North Dakota borrowers’ mu: reduced the income of lawyers, Mr. Converse said, declaring that “it is that lawyers are men in other lines of financial difficulites.” .

With- in two or three days it is expected {the job will be complete and the wa- ter will be entirely safe and satis- factory, George Doorley, in charge of the work, told The Tribune , this morning. Workmen cleaned the center res- ervoir yesterday, finishing last eve- ning, Mr. Doorley said. In this res- ervoir, he said, was 9 to 10 fect of mud, It was not considered as bad as the west reservoir. The center reser- voir was cleaned out but not washed out, he added, because the water in the east reservoir, from which the city is supplied, was getting low and it was necessary to keep water pour- ing into the city mains, Today water was going into the center reservoir and then into the east reservoirs and into the mains. The west reservoir, on which work was started today, was the worst of the three, he said, stating there was about 14 feet of mud in it and only about four feet of water. This res- ervoir contains the mixing chamber, where chemicals are introduced, and it is regarded as especially important that it be in good shape. The east reservoir, Mr. Doorley said, is in pretty good’ shape, and probably will not be cleaned at this time. There were some live fish and a few frogs found in the center reser- voir, he said. There were no dead fish or frogs. and the dirt in it was river ailt and nothing more, he add- ed, Mr. Doftley has three ing on the job. men work- PREMIER OF ITALY ASKS QUICK ACTION Wants to Settle Fiume Ques- tion, He Informs Commis- sion Considering It Rome, Aug. 24.—Impatient over the delay in settling the status of the Fiume, Premier Mussolini has asked the joint commission dealing with the question to reach a decision be- fore September 1, The newspapers said that an ultimatum had been sent by Italy to Jugo-Slavia asking a def- inite decision concerning Fiume, it being alleged the Belgrade govern- ment had been constantly delaying final action. A semi-official com munique, however, stated, that the word “ultimatum” used by the press ‘was unwarranted. As to the character of the communication sent the state- ment added: “It was only an tion ad- dressed by Premier Mussolini to the mixed Italo-Slav commission dealing with the Fiume question to conclude its work within the present month.” EXAMINERS ’ APPOINTED Governor Nestos has appointed Dr. Murdock McGregor, Fargo, Dt.

STANDARD TO ADJUST STATE ' PRICE BASIS Directors Consider Request That “Pittsburgh Plus” Plan be Abolished WOULD CUT PRICF Would Figure Freight Rat From Casper, Wyo., Instead of From Whiting, Ind. Governor Nestos obtained quick action and very satisfactory results from his letter to the Standard Oi! Company complaining that the oil companies were using a method sim ilar to the “Pittsburgh plus” plan in steel in figuring freight rates on oil, to the disadvantage of North Dakota, it was, learned today. It was claimed that the Standard Oil, even though shipping their prod- uct from Casper, Wyoming, would figure freight rates from their Whit- ing, Indiana, refinery, by boat and rail, via Superior, and that the in. dependents, even though shipping from Miles City, Montana, or from Wyoming, would—by adding to the Miles City or Wyoming oil price— actually charge freight rates from the “Group 3” field in Oklahoma and Texas. When F. E. Packard, the represen- tative of the Standard Oil, came to Bismarck today, he informed Gover- nor Nestos that the directors of the Standard Oil considered the gover- nor’s letter of request at their mee*- ing and concluded that in View of the fact that their refinery at Casper was now adequate to take care of all of the needs of the Northwest and to supply the field steadily and de- pendably, that the governor's com- plaint was justified and that there was every reason why they should abolish the old practice and charge freight rates only over the distance the oil was shipped, just as soon as normal marketing conditions obtain. Figures were presented to the gov- ernor‘to show that last year when the wholesale price of gasoline was about 13 cents that the crude oil from which it was manufactured uld be bought for $1.26, and that ee when, because of the large amount of distress gasoline in the Mid Continent Field, the wholesale price of gasoline has dropped to about @% cents that the crude oil from which it is manufactured has one up to $1.45. It is believed by many that a re-adjustment hére must soon taka place and the directors of the Standard Oil feel that the new method of figuring freight rates on oil should not be put into force until this readjustment has taken place and normal conditions exist. Governor Nestos says that the change so made in the freight rates on North Dakota oil will mean a sav- ing to the people of North Dakota for all time of from one-half cent three cents per gallon, depending upon the location in the state, and the governor hopes that the Texaco Oil Company, the Sinclair Oil Com- pany, the Pure Oil Company, and others will follow the lead of the Standard Oil and figure their freight rates on actual distances shipped. PRICE CUT Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 24.—The first casualty in South Dakota’s gas- oline war will be brought in soon, according to independent oil dealers of this state, who today brought down their price of 19 to 20 cents to meet the 15% cent rate of the Stand- ard Oil company. | _ Independent oil dealers ij | Falls will reduce their price for ‘gasoline to 15% cents, the pricé maintained by the Standard Oil Company in South Dakota, according to an announcement made last night “We realize that this price,” their announcement says, “will put large percentage of dealers entirely out of business for no dealer can sell gasoline at 15% cents except so long as his capital holds out.” The announcement goes on to severely criticize Governor W. /H. McMaster for his action two wepks ago in precipitating the gasoline price war by retailing the product for 16 cents a gallon through supply 1 depots of the state highway commis- i i Sioux “It may be a personal victory for the governor—it is a sad tragedy for the helpless dealer who must be sacrificed to the governor's ambi- tjon,”’ the independents announce- ment declares, “The governor is saying: ‘it is going to be ight.’ It is. It is going to be the finish of a large number of legitimate’ dealers who are perfectly helple: Of course the public will applaud the governor. No doubt that is what he wanted. The sacrificing uf a few hundred business men appar- ently weighs but little when the po- litical situation is at stake. It is a wonderful exhibition of, the ruthless- ness of ambitious politicians.
