MKENZIE WAS RESIDENT HERE Effort of State to Collect In- heritance Tax Opens in County Court OBJECTIONS ARE RAISED; Much of Morning Session Is Consumed in Consideration of Legal Questions Questions of procedure and legal arguments on demurrer of the de- fense to the cross-petition of the public administrator, delayed tak- ing testimony in county court here today in the case in which the state of North Dakota and county of Burleigh seeks to col- leet inheritance tax from the es- tate of the late Alexander McKen- zie, former political leader of the Northwest, who -died in St. Paul. The case had its inception in Aug- ust, 1923, when the state tax com- fa joner raised the inheritance tax question on the filing of the MeKenzie will with County Judge 1. C. Davies here. The state contends that although sMr. McKenzie had maintained his place of abode for several years in St. Paul, he had voted in Bis- marck, his former home,eas late as 1920 and that for legal purposes his residence actually was in North Dakota. The $900,000 estate of the former political leader has al- ready been probated in the Ram- county, Minnesota, probate North Dakota, if it “prevails in all o® the claims, would realize an inheritance tax of about $14,000, according to the estimate of Henry C, Flannery of Minneapolis, attor ny for the administration, Gporge . Flannery of St. Paul. “Mr. Flannery filed a demurrer to the cross-petition of the Bur- leigh county public administrator, John Fort, arguing that he was not a proper person to intervene for the purpose of enforcing collection of a tax, this argument consuming much of the morning session after other questions of procedure were thrashed out.

Father Slag, Preaching Sermon to 1924 Class, Cites Duty Toward Nation URGES UNSELFISH LIFE Calls on Graduates to Aid’ in Keeping up High Standard in Nation Commencement week, for the 81 graduates of the city high school, be- gan last evening with the Baccalaur- cate Sermon and attendant exercises. The Auditorium was crowded with relatives and friends of the graduat- ing class who were dressed in uni- form costumes. The exercises were opened with the Chorus singing of “Onward Christian Soldiers” led by the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, which was fol- lowed py the invocation and scrip- ture reading by Rev. Dr. Ryerson. Two excellent numbers were render- ed by the combined Boys and Girls Glee Club, Rev. Father Slag then addressed the graduates in which he stressed the importance of a Godly life in this materialistic age of the world. His appeal for each graduate to put forth the best of their nature as good American citizens and repay the -debt of gratitude which each owes for be- ing born sons and daughters of this republic made a very strong impres- sion on the entire audience. Rev. Father Slag said in part: “My dear Graduates, You are at the end of your high school studies. You have behind you four years of labor, of mental labor. You were given the privilege of continuing the elementary education. You are now graduates of a high school. Of you | more is expected than of a boy or a rl, who could not or did not re- ceive the education which you have. “You see here assembled a large number of your relatives and friends. At once you will realize there must be something out of the ordinary, which on a beautiful evening like to- night will her the people in. this Auditorium for your sake, for your honor. I said a moment ago, of you more is expected than of the man and the woman whose education stopped with the eighth grade, In order to understand this better, let us define education, let see what education really means. “Education comes from the Latin word educare—to lead but,—to edu- cate. It means to lead out, to de- velop both intellectual and moral faculties, which lie more or less dor- mant in every person. Or if you like it better, it means building of char- acter. My dear young friends, edu- cation which is unable to obtain this purpose, has no right to be given this beautiful title. Now apply this to yourself, You have gained so much in education, as your character, as your intellectual and moral faculties have been developed. This develop- ment of character now this education brings you great honors but also great responsibilities. The first re- sponsibility which this education brings for you, is your duty toward your God. Education is truth, and God is eternal truth. Asks Loyalty “Graduates, you will be sent out into life, into society, into stores and offices, Be loyal to your God. There is no real success in life without God. God is present everywhere, He sees you, sees the most secret thoughts of your heart and mind. 0, you are created for something high- er, something better than this life; yow are created for an eternity of happiness, in heaven, Accordingly therefore act and live. Do not place all your talents-into the service of the Mammon. ‘Do not with your ed- ucation become miserable slaves of money and the present materialism. “We need men and women, with in- dependent, with solid character, and this leads us to your second duty. Be loyal to your country and its gov- ernment. God is the source of all authority. Secular authority, gov- ernment comes from God. It is in Holy Scripture that we’ read: Through me the Kings rule and Give to God what belongs to God and to Caesar what belongs to Cac- sar, “You are the men and women of tomorrow; you are the citizens and the lawmakers of the future. O keep sacred and respect the, God given rights in our American Constitution. Respect and honor to the men, to the fathers of our Republic, under whose wise guidance and direction we are now protected against exter- nal enemies. “You are to be the custodians of this sacred, this God given liberty. Defend it, when called upon, but first of all defend it by living according to the laws and the regulations laid down in this immortal work, Have before your eyes the Stars and Stripes. O see them fly from coast to coast; on every ocean of , the globe; in every country of the world. The Stars and Stripes, the symbol of liberty and equality for all men.

Nestos before the Gideons, praised the ‘work of traveling men in placing Bibles peaking here tion. He said in part: . “When a person in his ient, reverent and humb] takes care of his body, powers and conserves its and when he advances in favor with God, manifes the spi of Christ, such person will also inevitably advance in favor with men and will, in spite of adversities and rebuffs, misunderstandings and enmities, establish a leadership that will enable him to influence others in conduct and achievement. “Even those who do not in their own lives and work manifest the spirit of Christ, will respect and ad- mire the man who consistently does, and when it comes to the great crises in life, will acknowledge his leader- ship and follow him. The dispositton to do unto others as you would have them do unto you and the ability to forget self in service of fellowmen are traits that in themselves insure leadership. ; “A ‘persen who is imbued with this spirit has attained to a position of Christian leadership no matter what his station in life may be, We have discovered that the evidence of this leadership is the abi&ty to direct men in conduct and achievement. Most of us can think of cases where some person without education and money, o@cupying a humble station in life, but possessed of the spirit of Christ, has wonderfully helped to direct others in conduct and toward achievement. Such persons in the quiet dignity of their lives and the loving self forgetfulness of their fervice, unobtrusively , accomplish much for the betterment of the hu- man race and the improvement of its organized activities. Sometimes be- cause of-its very unobtrusiveness it has failed to challenge attention and many a man and woman that might have been acclaimed by the world as a great leader, has gone through life doing the acts and rendering the ser- vice of distinguished leadership with- out ‘getting the recognition or pub- lie acclaim.” ‘ “America’s Flag was. honored and respected at all times by all people even by its enemies.

Seeding of wheats is reported practially fiinish- ed over the greater portion of the ern two thirds of the state, but is still in progress in the extreme estern counties. Seeding of oats nd barley is nearing completion in the eastern half and is well under way elsewhere. Practically no corn or potato planting has been complet- ed to date, some plowing for these crops and flax remaining to be done generally. Growth of spring seedings has been retarded by cold weather al- though most of the earlier seedings are now above ground and reportea well rooted. Reports of seed fail- ing to germinat and of drowning out in low places are current from many points in the Red River Valley, part- icularly the northeastern counties. In this section earlier delays and heavy soils are reported to have re- sulted in a rather strong decrease in wheat acreage which with favor- able weather may go largely into flax. The general condition of spring seedings is reported very favorable except for-top yréwth for which warmer weather is now needed.

P.)—The Senate today over-rode President Coolidge’s veto of the soldier bonus bill. The measure now automat- ically becomes law, the House: having taken similar action. The vote was 59 to 26 to overthrow the veto. Several Republican organ- ization leaders joined with a strong Democratic line-up in upsetting the vet@ on a vote which was in doubt until the last minute. . The vote was two more than the necessary two-thirds majority. President Coolidge himself. made an_ eleventh hour effort to stem the tide of support for the bill. He sum- moned seven _ Republican “doubtfuls” to the White House but was unable to turn enough votes. Thirty Republicans, 27 Democrats and the two Farm- er-Labor Senators voted to over-ride the veto. Seventeen Republicans and nine ,.Demo- crats voted to sustain the President. ‘ , Senators Ladd and Frazier, Republicans, North Dakota, voted to over-ride the veto as did Senators Johnson and Shipstead, Minnesota. (By con‘ronted to- acting on one Washington, } P.)—The Senate wa day with the task ¢ of the biggest legislattve problems of the sesion -the “soldier bonug dil! vetoed by President Coolidge and re. sed by the House. Senator: Curtis, Republican, Kan- sas, announced he would move to teke up consideration of the veto this afternoon. Some sparring’ tor delay was expected from opponents of the bill and unless a vote is pos- sible by to-nght, it was considered likely that proponents, in view of the number of members planning to be absent later in the week, would attempt to put over definite action until next week, Busy minutes were put in this morning by leaders af the two groups in efforts to determine a de- finte lineup on the bil which, how- ever, appeared uncertain up’ to late hour, Everyone admitted the result would be close. The flood of messages to Senators on the bill continued unabated. A letter termed the proposed bonus with headquarters in Chicago, in- dorsing: the veto of President Coo lidge, was made public here. The letter termmned the proposed bonus “an insult to the veterans whici should be more properly labeled the ‘loan shark emergency act.” If repassed by the Senate, whict. weuld require a two-thirds majority, the bill automatically would become w.
