THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1981 BOKER URES CUT [Arsen ats IN EXPENDITURES a : | | DURING TAX TALK Asserts Lower Levies a | Only If Public Corporations Spend Less Pointing out that taxes can be re- duced only by curtailing the expendi- ture of money for public purposes, Tax Commissioner Iver Acker, ad- dressing members of the Kiwanis club Tuesday, urged that the Association of Commerce and businessmen gen- erally pay more attention to this economy - PHONE YOUR DEALER-TODAY .

DAKOTA problem, Stressing the fact that unduly high taxes are a handicap to the develop- ment of the community, Acker said tax levies impose a burden on busi- ness which may become so great that commercial and industrial initiative is paralyzed and the development of cities is halted. Unless investors see & chance to make a profit, after taxes and other costs of doing business are. paid, they will not invest their money in new construction or new business, Acker said. Branding the present system of fix- |ing valuations as one conducive to inequality and unfairness, Acker pre- dicted that the time will come when) every county in the United States will have a county assessor to equal- ize tax valuations. The time also is coming, he said, when one central tax board must make @ consolidation of the taxes levied for city, county, park school and other purposes and allot the revenue therefrom on a business basis. As it stands now, he said, each group or board levies separate taxes with- out regard to taxes levied by other boards. Commenting on tax laws enacted| by the legislature, Acker said they should be helpful, since most of them were revisions and clarifications of old statutes. State banks will be helped, he said, by the law requiring them to be taxed in the same man- ner as national banks. An inequality in tax measures operated in favor of the national banks and threatened the state banking system, he said. Expressing gratification that the sales taxes, suggested at the legis- lative session, failed to pass, Acker said such statutes should not be en- acted until a study has been made on the effect they may have on the busi- nessesto be taxed. If it is seen that they will seriously affect the opera- tion of an industry, they should be avoided, he asserted. Developing the fact that the coun- try suddenly has grown “tax con- scious,” Acker said the cause is lack of income on the part of the indivi- dual as much as it is high taxes. In- vestigations of the tax problem in 30 states shows the same general con- dition everywhere and proves that many of them are in worse condition than North Dakota, he said. Taxes appear high, he said, because incomes are low. He gave it as his opinion that the ideal method of levy- ing taxes would be to impose them on the basis of the incomes earned both by property and individuals, but, predicted it would be many years be- fore such a system could be in- augurated in this state. Guests at the luncheon were Mr. Schlosser of Fargo; Charles B. Heine- meyer, Beulah, and George Janke, Bismarck. P. E. Byrne, club president, an- nounced that in the future the Ki- wanians would open and close their meetings by singing the Star Span- gled Banner in view of the fact that this song has been designated by con- gress as the national anthem. Here- tofore, the clubmen have accorded this honor to America. Governor Refuses Request to Delay Capitol Building (Continued from page one) request can be granted. In determin- ing whether a special election is ne- cessary or desirable, I shall, when the time comes for me to make that de- cision, be guided by what I deem to be the best interests of the state as a whole, and not by any other consid- eration. “I note your suggestion that if I will take the necessary steps to pre- vent the capitol commission from with building operations until after the state-wide election, it will obviate the necessity of your as- sociation securing an injunction from the courts to halt such proceedings, and will also save you the necessity of referring the capitol commission law to 2 vote of the people. It is the duty of the capitol commission under the legislative enactment to proceed with preparations for constructing a new capitol building at Bismarck with reasonable diligence and without delay. “The capitol commission bill was adopted with an emergency clause, which would put it into operation as @ law immediately upon aproval. It was, therefore, the obvious intent of the legislature, speaking for all of the people of the state, that the commis- sion should act without unnecessary delay in this emergency. I can assure you that the capitol commission will function with due regard to the best | interests o: the state at all times, and ‘that it will not sacrifice the state's interests fer th> purpose of facilitat- ing the program of your association. “While your association has the undoubted legal right to resort to the | courts, or to a referendum, for the | purpose of delaying building oper- | ations, you are under no compulsion |to do so, and should you decide to | exercise that privilege, you should expect to assume all public responsi- bility for the results. “May I express the sincere hope that the executive committee of your association will not adopt any cours? of action calculated to obstruct or delay the construction of the new capitol.” Meet Next Week “The captiol 4 appointed b; Governor George F.

Sargent was aboard the Sa- gona and his sister was on Mand to meet him. Navigator Kennedy of the Viking died of pneumonia as the Sagona battled ice. Powder magazine of the Viking was in the very stern of the starboard side. Next to it was the boatswain’s cabin in which there was believed to have been an oil lamp.

Kennedy had a fractured skull, The pan in which the wreckage was imbedded broke and gradually became smaller. ‘The drifting men watched it dissolv- ing as they approached open water. ‘Then, to their eyes came the welcome sight of a ship. It was the Sagona. ‘The body of Navigator Kennedy was the last removed from the Sa- gona Tuesday morning. ‘The night before the disaster, said the survivors, there was @ shrill blast on the whistle of the Viking. Master Watch Johnson ran to the bridge. The officer on watch had seen no one pull the whistle cord. They thought it ominous. To Have Charge of Memorial Building As Part of Duties (Continued from page one) able to devise means of assisting in various country programs. “The purpose of the plan is to get the best possible recreation program for Bismarck residents, both children and adults, at the minimum of ex- pense, said Dr. Cole. “Heretofore, the school board, the park board and the city have operated their own pro- grams with no deliberate and con- certed effort to unify and coordinate them so that the-people can get the most possible service for the tax money expended. The new arrange- ment is aimed directly at that situa- tion. ‘Will Combine Resources “Mr. Reel, as director of recreation, will have the combined resources and support of the various public agencies interested and will be expected to help the people make the most use of the facilities available.” One of the big features of the rec- reation director's job, it was pointed out, will be the management of the will have supervision of the activities to be carried on there and will be ex- pected to promote the community's jinterest in the facilities which the | building offers. One prospect is the organization of a permanent athletic club for both men and women. Many citizens have expressed the desire to make use of the athletic facilities in the new American Legion, some of whom have complained about their increasing girth, are expected to give their strong endorsement to the proposal. Another feature, to Dr. Cole, is the ‘use of the city’s school buildings as the result of the general program which Reel is ex- pected to inaugurate. “The school bulldings ‘are con- structed primarily for the education of the children,” Dr. Cole said, “but they use them only a few hours a day. ‘There is no good reason why these structures should not be of greater use and benefit to the adult popula- tion, They pay for them and are just as much entitled to their use as the These offer purposes. hope of board that greater use will be made ‘of them under the new system.” Reach St. John’s said the proposal, so far as they know, is unique and the most comprehensive that has ever been broached any- where. In addition, they said, it bids fair to give the best possible system of community recreation at the least possible cost. Arrives Next Month Reel, who was recommended for the post by the National Recreation as- sociation, is expected to arrive here between April 5 and 15. The latter date has been fixed as that upon which he will begin his work in Bis- marck. Definite plans for the development of the community recreation system, which will include the facilities of lo- cal parks as well as those of the schools and the memorial building, will be made upon his recommenda- tion after his arrival. Data contained in Reel’s applica- tion to the local recreation board, an unofficial organization, states that he is married and has one child. He is a Protestant but obtained a degree in law after studying at Creighton University, Omaha, a Cath- olic institution. A native of Omaha, he attended high school there and. then attended the University of Nebraska for two years. The next two years he attend- ed Creightcn University and later he attended the Kansas State agricultur- al college for one year and for two ‘with |summer sessions. He also attended the University of California for two summers and Oregon State Agricul- tural college one summer. At various times he has been su- pervisor of recreation at Ft. Myers, Florida; and superintendent of phy- sical education at Coffeyville, Kan.; supervisor of physical education at Santa Ana, Bakersfield and Psadena, Calif.; director of athletics at Man- hattan, Kan.; and athletic coach at Bellevue college, Bellevue, Neb.
