People of Bismarck as a prelude to the Happy New Ye Fe i .. ; weceived yesterday and today a small reminder that th personal taxes have doubled and in many instances trebbled | | vver 1922. Costs of government have grown by leaps and| dounds and thi only a foretaste of what is to come. Bis-| marck must pay for a great public improvement in the new | water works system, additions to the school system and | wreater taxes to care for levies that shink because of in-| ability or refusal of some to shoulder their tax load. Every public official as he enters upon a new year should; bring the influence of his office toward a reduction in taxes. Locally Bismarck has reached the saturation point as far as taxes go; it is going to be impossible to wring much more tribute from the citizens. Some property will not Pay out the assessments levied and there must be an abrupt halt to all further public improvements ugtil the people can catch their breath and more population and fresh wealth are avail- able to care for some of the load. In state affairs there must be an attempt to reduce the cost of government even if it comes to closing the doors of some of the state ventures now operating. The public back has reached practically the “last straw stage” and the worm will most certainly and assuredly turn. But this is a task to which each and every public sub- division must turn the best effort and singleminded service for business will lanquish when taxes impose a confiscatory burden up on the people. DORSED given the candidacy of Pres- ident Calvin Coolidge for the presidential nomination by the Republican State Committee ig session here yesterday, in which both anti-leaguers and leaguers were present but with the latter in a four to one majority, is a distinctly refresh- ing note in North Dakota politics. Whatever may have been the motive behind the actions of any of the men pres- ent, whatever their political quarrels may have been, it is encouraging to see a body of men who claim to he Republicans meet as Republicans and endorse a real Republican leader. North Dakota ought to send a Coo- COOLIDGE The emphatic endorsement + lidge delegation to Washington. The state ought to cl show the nation that the people of the Northwest be- 4 lieve in sound government, that they are solidly “back of the President's big tax reduction program, his th economy measures and his proposal to conduct the govern- m ment in a straightforward fashion for the benefit of , all Americans. a North Dakota may fight for things in which she is vitally in interested at Washington, and may or may not get all that ti_ she desires; but when the question comes as to whether the iq $OVernment shall be entrusted to an able and safe admin- le istration such as President Coolidge is giving, selfishness a can be forgotten and the matter looked at from the stand- & point of the welfare of the entire country. ay There is no reason why Republicans who have differec ct Violently in state politics and on state issues cannot em- ir phatically declare for the national administration and x repudiate the efforts of certain nominal Republicans in Washington to block progress for their own personal, selfish gains. There is nothing to be gained, but there is much to be lost, in stopping the wheels of government through organ- «ization filibusters in the national legislature. The Republican state committee has Pointed the way for a Coolidge delegation. The Tribune is interested in that, but it is not interested in the maneuvers of any individuals who are seeking a place on the Republican delegation to gratify personal ambition or vanity. DOUBLES ITS SIZE To look into the future a few years and know where to place financial bets, requires powers akin to clairvoyance. For instance, the rubber industry in. our country has doubled in size in the last six years. Only a few men had the vision: to foresee this, and that’s one reason why 10 com- danies now produce 60 per cent of our total production of cubber. goods.

In Abraham Lincoln’s day this news wouldn’t have ‘eached America for a couple of months. Now it comes within @-few minutes. But we don’t see how this particular orand .of speed makes life more enjoyable or interesting.

When the storm} reaches this point its influence is already belng felt in the ie States; It 1s too late to get out warnings. Hudson Bay stations would remedy this situation. The easterly progression of! storms from some unknown point of origin is believed to take them acro#s the northern tip of Siberia, somewhere in the neighborhood of Wrangel Island. The installation of stations somewhere along this track, connected with the United} States by radio or cable, wonld permit the weather bureau ty ge: information many days ~ before storms hit the Oregon coast or the Montana or North Dakota border. If stations were installed in Si- beria and Northern Canada, North Dakota then might become ag easy to forecast for as Florida.—Kansas City Times.
