Saddle Millions of Dollars Debt on State 5 DEFENDS INDEPENDENTS Declares Comparison of The Business Records of Ad- ministration Is Invited Jamestown, N. D. May 22.-Gov- ernor R. A. Nestos, candidate of the Real Republican state convention for renomination, opening the poli- tical campaign here last night, spread befgre the voters the issues of the campaign as he sees them. He warmly defended the record of his administration and assailed the Nonpartisan League program as embraced in its convention — plat- form. The key-note speech of Governor Nestos followed delivery of the Nonpartisan League key-note at Mc- Clusky the night before by T, H. H. Thoresen, league candidate for Attorney-General. “The real issue in this campaign y is thereforg,’ said the Governor, after quoting the Nonpartisan League platform for increased state industries, “is whether you tax pay- ers can afford increased experimen- tation in state-owned _industr adding not only to the kind of in- dustries to be under taken but also to the number of each or whether . you will deem it wiser to profit by experience, to follo# the counsel of the Independents and to confine this experimentation within fair, rea- sonable and safe limits.” In his opening remarks the -Gov- ernor said: League Platform Another political campaign is in progress and I trust that you, as voters of the state, are studying with care the platform promises and records of the factions and candi- dates appealing for your support. Not only are the candidates aligned in two definite groups, but each group has made such platform dec- larations’ 1s to make. the isgues be- tween them clear and definite. The platform of the League, among other. things, declares: . “We reaffirm the original plat- form of the Nonpartisan League as being necessgry at the time of its declaration and of even greater>im- portance at the present time.” “We demand that the Bank of North Dakota be miade to function as was originally intended’ and we pledge ourselves to do this.” It then supplements this state- ment by specifically mentioning state owned mills, elevators, war jouses, coal mines, and briquetting plants. The League eandidates are therefore deYinitely committed to the continued operation of the mill and elevator at Grand Forks, the Drake mill, and the Bank of North Dakota, and they are pledged to breathe the breath of life into the late and, as we thought, unlamented Fome Builders’ Association. They do not stop there, and mark this well. They promise, they threaten I should say, to build more mills and elevators and to organize and operate warehouses, mines, briquet- ting plants and packing plants in addition thereto. + Facing Issues The Governor continued: “Let us at the very beginning un- derstand clearly what the program of the League leaders and candi- dates means’ to the tax paying ¢ izens of this state. There can be no doubt about the results. That issue is as plain, as simple, as hu- man language can make it. When you walk into the election booth to cast your vote you will vote either for candidates who stand on a rec- ord of tax reduction and who are pledged to still further decreases of the state tux burden, or yqu will vote for the League candidates who, if elected, say solemnly and without quibbling that. they will issue and sell more bonds to build mills, ele- vators, briquetting and, packing Jplants, who will increase the already heavy burden of interest the state must pay and who will levy more instead of less taxes upon an al- ready overburdened beople. Do you want more state industries, with added bonds and interest and more taxes? If you do, I am constrained } advise you to vote the League ticket because you will get none of these things from us if we are re- turned to power. Or, did you Have enough of experimentation and of the mismanagement and inefficiency of the League leaders when they were in power and do you now feel that the tax burden, should be de- creased rather than increased? If so, you can have your désire only by voting for the Independent candi- dates who will not plunge the state farther into business and who will not issue or sell more bonds except for the farm loans, . “Will they be able to mislead you by the malice, falsehood arid hate whith they seek to pour into every community in this state? Will they have the supreme hardihood to stand before an audience of North Dakota farmers and say “' think you @hould issue more bonds and pay more taxes so that we may have more money to spend as we did at Werner, at Drake, in the Bank of _ * (Continued on page 6) ° ) BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1924 | A McADOO LOVE FEAST! | William Gibbs McAdoo hastened won the Lone Star delegation to th Here ‘he is with the men who put h Democratic Chi Joseph S.

More than 100,000 gallons of beer, retailing at around $65 a barrel, was drained from brewing vats. Chemical analysis showed a high alcoholic content, officers said. The Manhattan bewery had been mentioned in connection with federal inquiry into operation of the Sieben brewery, on which a raid last Monday netted arrest of 30 alleged beer-run- ners and exposed, officials said, one of the biggest liquor rings ever operating here. A concerted drive by police and federal agents to close every brew- ery in northern Illinois which is manufacturing beer of illegal alcoho- lic content will be the outcome of disclosures made in connection with the finding of a “little black book” seized when the Sieben brewery was ‘aided, according to federal agents. Pricey of beer in Chicago have jumped from $45 and $60 a barrel to $65 and up to $1,000, as a result of the Sieben raid, police said, and it was also reported that a defense fund of $150,000 was being raised for those arrested. The Dalles, Oregon, May 22.—Land which literally yielded 40 gallons of moonshine whisky to the acre was tilled yesterday by Sheriff Christian- sen and a force of deputies on the ranch of Willa Quinn, in the south- ern part of the county.

(By the A. the McNary-Haugen relief bill was again before the House today but leaders were somewhat at sea as to the probable fate of the mea- sure. : Some supporters of the bill. said votes were in sight to insure its passage while others were skeptical. On the other hand some opponents were confident that the proposal could be defeated and others were nerally leaders and those in charge of the measure admitted their inability to make accurate forecasts due to the large number of members who haye declined to com- mit themselves. The result, it was predicted, would be determined by a last minute lineup. Hope for a vote this week practi cally has been abandoned becau of the failure of the House Tuesda night to muster a quorum to proceed with discussion of the bill until more than two hours had been spent in rounding up absentees, and the consequent calling off of a ses- sion planned for last night and to; night. Representative Longworth o! Ohio, the Republican leader, yester- day obtained an agreement, however, under which the House today met at 11 a. m., and an hour earlier than usual, with the understanding that it would adjourn at 7 p. m. Upon the resumption of discus- sion today, more than 12 hours for general debate remained. This, leaders pointed out, ‘Will carry de- bute into tomorrow, with the prob- ability that reading of the measure, with amendments in order, will not the taken up before Saturday Several members have announced that they proposed to offer substi- tutes for the bill. This, some pre- dicted, will make a vote impossible before Tuesday, the first day of next week that the bill will be in order under the rules. OUTDOOR LIFE IS PRAISED BY THE PRESIDENT Says Americans Need to Know How to Play as Well as How to Work Washington, May 22.—Development of outdoor life means creation of a common denominator of the people, President Coolidge said today in an address épening the national confer- ence on outdoor recreation, “In the case of people which re- presents many nations, culture and races, as does our own “the Presi- dent said,” a unification of interest and ideals in recreation is bound to wield a telling influe for soliaity of the entire population. No more truly democratic force can be set off the tendency to class and caste than the democracy of individual prowess in sport, The President told the several hundred delegates who had gathered in conference in response to the call was “to encourage Americans to make more of their opportunity and to appropriate more of the advan- tages of America.” “Our youth needs instruction how to play as much as they do how to work,” he continued. who are engaged in our industries need an opportunity for outdoor life and recreation no less than they need opportunity of employment. Side by side with the industrial plant should be the gymnasium and the athletic field. Along with the learning of a trade by which a live- lihood is to be earned should go the learning of how to participate in the activities of recreation, by which life may not only be more enjoyable but more rounded out and complete,” BAD WEATHER HALTS BRITON Shanghai, May 22—Bad weather today prevented A.

High officials declare be “very unsatisfactory lon and the statement was made that he viewed it as a “most un- fortunate piece of legislation.” He believes all of the provisions for reform of the tux system have been omitted and finds no justification for inclusion of such provisions as in- creased estate tax rate: Harmful to Business he re’ also f that the sections making income tax returns available to certain committees of Congress and opening to the public the procéedings of the board of tax review will have harmful effects on business, working to injure credit the bill to to Mr. Mel .,and divulging trade secrets to com- petitors. The estate taux rates in the bill are expected -by Treasury experts to result in lowered pro- duction of revenue instead of an increase. They base this belief on indications that large fortunes will be distributed by their owners in advance of death and the govern- ment therefore will obtain little, if any, tax on that part of the estate remaining intact, Deficit Bad. Policy Because of the deficit that Treasury foresees under the m ure, the Secretary takes the posit that the reduced incomes would quire an entirely new fiscal gram for the Treasury. New fuod ing arrangements the pre. outstanding debt would pe require in his opinion, as well as increa. issues of securities to e care current requirements when receip begin to come in under provisions of the bill. Enactment of a law that woul result in a treasury deficit ever for one year is held by Mr. Meller to be a reversal of a well establish- ed national policy. certain to pre- duce ill effects on future fiscal pro- grams.
