WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight and Thursday. ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22 , 1924 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [mom | PRICE FIVE CENTS LOW DEN PLEADS COOLIDGE CASE HERE NESTOS SPEAKS FOR COOLIDGE AT HILLSBORO Governor Declares Achieve- ments of Administration Deserve Indorsement ALSO FOR HALVORS'! Says There Is Fundamental Difference Between Prin- ciple of Two Sides Hillsboro, N, D., Oct. 22.—Governor R. A. Nestos, in his first campaign speech here last night, urged support of the Coolidge-Dawes national tick- et and the Halvorson coalition siate ticket, at the polls on November 4. “In the first place, I am for Cool- idge and Dawes because their record is such as to give promise of the wisest and best possible administra- tion of our national affair,” the Gov- ernor said. “During all of his pub- lic service, President Coolidge ‘has proven thoroughly imbued with the fundamental principles of American- ism and sound government, a believer in law and order and possessed of common sen: 1d common honesty beyond question. “We regret tl some who were members of the Repub! party acted corruptly or at leas such a way as to make a charge of corruption seem s y many facts, but no one or fair- y charge Coolidge with any blame 4 connection therewith. The Amer- i&in people, no matter of what par- ty} know that President Coolidge will shield none of these and that every person charged with crime will be dealt with according to law. He will not wink ut violations, He can not be bullied or bossed by any poli- tical faction or grafting ring. In- dictments have already been found against some of them and the rest will soon be brought before the bar of justice. Justice must be done and those who know Calvin Coolidge best, know that it will be done. Many Achievements Among the achievements, of the Re- publican administration the Gover- nor pointed out were: Economy and efficiency, taxes, in government. There has been a general revival of business despite adverse agricul- tural and worlg conditions, and un- employment has practically ceased. It would be foolish to “swap horses in midstream.” The Republican administration has done much toward establishing tran- quility in world affairs. The administration has endeavored to aid agriculture by many means. The Washington arms conference pointed a new way to peace in the world. Governor Nestos, declaring the present administration was friendly to the farmer, said that President Coolidge has been criticized for not advocating the McNary-Haugen bill. “It is interesting to note,” he said, ‘that five of the eleven LaFollette ‘Congressmen from Wisconsin—in- cluding the three who are touring North Dakota this fall attacking the farm policies of President Coolidge— voted against the McNary-Haugen bill, and I can recollect no declara- tion by LaFollette himself during the past. winter in favor of that or similar measures.” Nothing To Gain Speaking of the situation should the election be thrown into the house of representatives the Governor said: “I believe that the citizens North Dakota should favor Coolidge for another season. The fight in this stfte is concededly between Coolidge and LaFollette. One these two will have the five electoral votes from North Dakota. Son La- Follette supporters sought by trick- ery and slippery methods to gain a victory. Such methods hurt rather than help the cause for which used. The people want to see fair play. I believe that the objects our people desire to attair can be secured more fully, by giving Coolidge the North Dakota electoral votes thag by per- mitting them to go to LaFollette. For that reason, also, I shall vote for Coolidge and urge the same course upon my friends who wish by their vote to promote the prosperity of the country and the welfare and hap- > ‘piness of our people. “I have no quarrel with LaFollette. I think he possesses many admirable traits and that he has ‘served the people of Wisconsin and of the Unit- ed States well by a great many of his public acts, I was on the executive committee that carried the state for him at the 1912 presidential primar- ies and I was for him during the presidential primaries of /1916 and each time both he and I supported his victorious opponent in the fol- lowing campaign. He was then at the very zenith of his physical and mental power. I believe he then lov- ed his country more than self, and more than the applause of selfish and self-seeking men, He told me in 1912 that he was proud of the fact that while he had fought for his per- sonal convictions in the primaries and conventions, he had always ac- cepted the verdict of the majority ‘and supported the nominees at the fall election. lower ‘© “Surely this year when we have such excellent men and officials as Coolidge and Dawes, and when they (Continued on page 8) Americ TAX JUMP IN NORTH DAKOTA SHOWN LARGE More Taxes Levied in Last Seven Years Than in 27 Previous, Years in State INCREASES ARE SHOWN North Dakota has levied more tax- | es since 1916, than in the 27 pre- vious years in the state’s history, an examination of the tax records of the state discloses. | The total amount of taxes, ex- elusive of city and village special | assessments in the last seven 1917 to 1923, inclusive, -is $188, 613 as compared to a total of $172,- 892,725 in taxes levied in the years 1890 to 1916, inclusive, according to the records of the state tax depart- ment. Other comparisons for the two periods, in taxes levied, follow: State taxes: 1890-1916... - $22,890,294 1917-1923 . 23,479,696 County taxes: 1890-1916 $49,820,282 1917-1923... + 49,597,395 City, village taxe: 1890-1916 15,214,716 1917-1923 5,032,857 Township taxes: 1890-1916 $16,544,314 1917-1923 + 19,338,558 School taxes: 1890-1916 - $68,423,119 1917-1923 + 80,983,107 The table of information prepared by the statistical department of the tax commissioner’s office does not offer an interpretation’ as to the cause for the increase in taxes. It jg pointed out that in part it is caused by the increase in the growth of the state. The per capita tax, however, shows as large an increase in most cases as the total. While each North Dakota citizen was paying $24.81 in tax in the year 1916 he was paying $46.75 in tax in the year 1923, the table shows. Dur- ing this period the per capita tax on state taxes increased from $2.20 to $6.20.

TRATE HUSBAND ENTERS OFFICE, ASSAILS MAN J. G. Emery, Former Legion Commander, Is Shot and Slightly Wounded Grand Rapids, Mich. Oct, 22.— Colonel John G. Emery, former na- tional commander of the American Legion, was shot and slightly wound- ed this morning as he sat in his of- fice. -Chedell Simpson, 44, husband of Col. Emery's stenographer, is held for the shooting. A divorce action is pending against him. Col. Emery was shot in the left shoulder. The story told police is that Simp- son, who is a salesman, entered the real estate office of the former Le- gion commander and asked if Mrs. Simpson worked there. Told that she did, he drew a revolver aid fired twice at Col. Emery, the first shot going wild and the second striking Emery in the left shoulder. As Simpson fired, the police were told, he shouted: “You broke up my home.” Mrs. Simpson, who is 26 years old. has been in Emery’s employe for two weeks, coming to his office in response to an advertisement. Cl. Emery, at the hospital, ssid he was at a loss why Simpson should have singled him out as the cause of his domestic troubles.

When I placed the students in this chair I saw to it that their arms were placed tightly against the arms of the chair. I did this as the test- la coil was fastened to the metal rods running through the chair and if the arms were placed _ solidly against the arm of the chair the pupil would merely feel a tingling sensation. If the arm would loosen itself from the arm of the chair small sparks would fly but the stu- dent would not be injured, Not Strong Current “The current at its strongest, was not any more violent than the elec- trical treatments used by medical men for rheumatism. I could have, and should have, used a ruler to the children but I had heard that was insufficient although it would hurt them more. My idea in using the chair was to give them mental punishment. In short, I wanted to scare them. Mental punishment, you know, is more efficient than are mere physical punishment. They, the parents of students of Barnes- ville High School, are trying to make a ‘case’ out of this but they Pill not succeed. They have been taking the side of the pupils all year | and we have had a hard time getting discipline. I realize that I made a' mistake but I think it will bring to attention the absolute neces- sity of discipline. As to the report- ed ‘severe cuts’ on the Tenneson j STEELE SAVED FROM FIRE BY.

LOWDEN MEETS SISTER HERE Former Governor Frank 0. Low- den, who spoke in Bismarck last night, met a sister here, Mrs. Eva Sheldon of Baldwin. Mrs. Sheldon came down to visit with her bro- ther on his private car. Mrs. Ralph !ocratic DECLARES'.0.P, HAS GIVEN AID 70 U.S, FARMER Settlement of European Prob- lems and Tariff Principle Are Held Vital HAS BIG AUDIENCE 1,000 in Auditorium Here Listen to Former Gover- nor of Illinois Two great contributions which he said the Republican administration had made to the welfare of the Am- erican farmer were emphasized by former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, in an address before 1,000 men and women in the city Auditorium last night. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. L. N. Cary of Mandan, head of the Republican women’s committee in the state. The Republican administration, he declared, was the motive power be- hind the settlement of European difficulties through the London agreement and the Dawes plan,- a settlement which already has cre- ated a foreign market for American farm products and has had a distinct bearing in the price increase. The Republican tariff policy has helped the farmer, particularly the dairy farmer, and it is the only prin- ciple which offers the farmer pro- tection from world competition in agriculture, which has been growing at a rapid pace in the last 20 years. Mr. Lowden, who discussed the farm problem as it relates to the present campaign in an even tenor, without bitterness, without bom- bastie oratory, departed from poli- {tical lines to discuss the principles of farm organization he is advocat- ing in the nation to achieve a per- manent basis of farm prosperity. The farm problem remains unsolved, he said, and declared that organiza- tion of the farmer along commodity lines is a necessity to the future stabilization of the industry. The Republican administration, he said, had cleared the way for such coop> Jeration, by placing enabling laws om the statute books. The Remedies Mr. Lowden said in parts “What are the remedies proposed our agricultural ills by our Dem- friends? The Democratic candidate for President, in his To- peka speech, urged first that Europe be stabilized in order that the mar- kets of the world for the products of the American farm may be im- proved. I think that wiil help. But let us inquire into what has deen done toward that end and by wuom. The Democr:tic party was in power for two years and more after the Armistice was signed. What did they do towards the tranquilization of Europe? When we came into power we were still at war techni- cally with the Central Empire. Pres- ident Wilson had conciuued a peace treaty into which was woven the covenant of the League oi Nations. That treaty was submitted to the Senate of the United States. The great majority of the Republican members of the Senate—so eager were they to restore international order—were willing to ratify the treaty with only such reservations us would preserve the integrity and and the independence of the United States. It was within the power of the President to have the treaty ratified with such reservations. He repudiated the reservations and thus we remained technically at war. for | This was the situation when we came into power. In Europe the curren- cy was demoralized and chaos and confusion ‘ruled ‘everywhere. And now, for the first time since the war, order is coming out of all this chaos. To whom is this order due? To the Dawes Commission. That Commis- sion, suggested by Secretary Hughes, almost two years ago, was finally, if reluctantly, acted upon by the statesmen of the old world. And now for the first time since the. war Europe looks forward to.the future with hope, and if Europe shall enter upon a period of prosperity and if she shall furnish better markets for our farm products, it is due entirely to the success of the Commission of which Charles G. Dawes, a great American and now our candidate for Vice-President, was chairman, and that Commission was initiated by a Republican administration, What Hughes Did “Not only did this Commission come as a result of Secretary Hughes’ pronouncement in its favor, but its final adoption in Europe was Madland of Bismarck is a neice of Mr. Lowden. INDIAN LAND IS SOLD HERE About 115 acres of land remaining in the old Devils Lake Indian Res- ervation were sold at public auction at the United States land office here, it was announced today.

Our ambassador to Germany, Mr. Houghton, told me personally that without the friendly offices of Secretary Hughes in Ber- lin at the crucial moment, the set- tlement would probably have failed. He might have said, but for his modesty, that without his own pa- tient and wise efforts, without the profound confidence Germany had come to have in this great Ambassa- dor, the accord of the German gov- ernment could not have been se- cured. This, however, is the fact, as I believe, which history will one day record.
