D., Sept. 9.—The first train of livestock this season from “western North Dakota left Killdeer early Saturday morning for the South St. Paul market. A second trian will leave Sunday morning. Both will connect with a Yellow- stone division special at Mandan for a record run to St. Paul. The trains carry 60 cars each of two to four-year-old steers, which are valued at achicha, Asean at present market prices. e cattle on the first train are owned by ranchers from Dunn and McKenzie counties, among them being Bob Monroe, Louis Signalness, Big Pete Peterson and Little Pete Peterson, Gust Elf- strom, Pelton, Madsen, Morrel and several others.

A big catt shipment always attracts railroad ‘icials ahd the “present: ones are no exceptions. Among Northern Pacific officials represent- ed at Killdeer are Ober Kobs, travel- ing freight agent, Howard Elisworth, assistant general freight agent, As- sistant Superintendent James A. Mercer, Trainmaster” Ha McCall and other officials who will arrive to supervise the shipment. & The cattle trains are given right- of-way over everything and make record runs to market.

Thompson and others in the state department of public instruction on methods of coordinating their -work in North Dakota. Heading the group of federal men was Dr. W. Carson Ryan, Jr., director of Indian education from Washing- ton. Assisting Thompson was R. B. Murphy, deputy superintendent of public instruction. Others attending ‘were Samuel Thompson, Washington, public relations expert in the Indian service, L. C. Lippert, Fort Yates, su- verintendent of the Standing Rock jagency; O. C. Gray, superintendent at the Fort Totten agency; F. J. Scott, superintendent of the Belcourt agen- cy; N. B. Hinds, pincipal of the In- dian school at Fort Yates; C. H. Beit- vel, principal’ at Fort Totten; Seth Wilson, principal at Belcourt; Miss Fitzgerald, social welfare worker at the Belcourt agency; and Sharon R. Mote, superintendent of the Bismarck Indian school. Closer To Indian The purpose of the government, \Ryan explained, is to bring education closer to the Indian. In connection with this effort many schools which require students to go long distances from home have been closed and the attendance at others has been re- duced. The Bismarck Indian school is not immediately affected by this being held up pending the outcome of other plans. Some of the Indian schools are being used as centers for special education and this is a possi- bility for the local institution. Ryan said 15 boarding schools have been closed ‘or curtailed during the last year. The nub of the proposal under dis- cussion is to turn education of Indian children over to the state government with the federal government supply- ing all or most of the money. This would be done, by paying tuition for every Indian child of quarter blood or more, This principle was set forth by Ryan as foliows: “As fast as the states develop needed types of child care for rural populations, including Indians, the Indian service will cooperate with state rather than maintain separate facilttes, provided, of course, the welfare of Indian children is safeguarded.” $100,000 In State As an integral part of this program the government will spend approxi- mately $100,000 of public works money in North Dakota for new buildings, operation of which will be turned over to the state. Of this amount $30,000 will go for a central assembly community school at S. | Elbowoods and $30,000 for schools on the Standing Rock reservation. On the latter reservation the principal new building will be an ultra-modern |four-room building at Cannon Ball to cost about $20,000. In addition to the classrooms it will have facilities for teaching manual training and home economics, an auditorium and a About $18,000 will be spent in the Turtle Mountain reseravtion at Bel- court, in addition to appropriations already made for sewer and water in- stallation there. Not included in the public works program is $5,000 for a closer to the home of those to be benefited. Former Valley Citian Is Parachute Victim and decision regarding it ts|* Thoresen, Garberg Sales Tax Administration Proposal Struok| Severe Blow By Two Public Speakers LAW TERMED DESTRUCTIVE Former Tax Head Makes Plea Fo Renaissance of Non- partisan Principles Dunn Center, N. D., Sept. —)— Terming the referred sales tax law “the most destructive and reaction- ary law that has ever been passed in North Dakota by any legislature,” T. H. Thoresen, Grand Forks, former state tax commissioner, carried the fight against the act into Dunn county Saturday. Thoresen fired the opening gun against the sales tax in a speech at Hillsboro Friday night, while Peter Garberg, Fargo, former U. 8. district attorney, spoke at Hettinger. Thore- sen speaks at Valley City Wednes- day. State Senator W. E. Matthaei of Wells county is scheduled to take the stump soon to oppose the sales tax act to be voted on at the Septem- ber 22 special election. Recalling his many years activity as a member of the Nonpartisan League, Thoresen asked “What has become of the principles of our or- ganization for which we have fought so hard and given so much? What has happened to all those staunch fighters for principles of equality with whom I have been associated these many years? Have they all bowed their knees before Baal? Can't Afford to Sit By “I should not leave work and again go into your midst to fight for po- litical justice because I cannot af- ford to so do, but neither can I af- ford to sit idly by and see all that we have fought for in the past de- cade shattered and broken upon the rocks of unscrupulous and givedy politicians.” gress for enactment of a sales tax, Thoresen said “We have two U. 8. senators and two congressmen, all four of whom have fought hard and tirelessly to defeat the sales tax.” “They have so far succeeded,” he continued. “What effect will it have upon congress if states like North Dakota adopt a sales tax? The rea- son our national representatives have fought the sales tax is because they know that it is an attempt by the wealthy to eventually make the sales tax a replacement tax place of the in- come tax and estate tax. They would like to shift the tax burden from their own shoulders to the shoulders of the poor and the common people. Will We Encourage Them “Are we going to encourage them by approving this law here in North Dakota? Ask your senators and con- gressmen what they think about this law and you will find they are oppos- ed to it here and now the same as they have fought for you at Washington to Prevent a federal sales tax.” Thoresen called attention to Gov- ernor William Langer’s declaration | the state has $25,000,000 of unpaid taxes. “If there are only $25,000,000 unpaid taxes in North Dakota now,” Thoresen (Continued on Page Two) Minnesota Bandit Succumbs to Wound St. Paul, Sept. 9.—(#)—Silvey Spec- keen, 29, of West Concord, Minn., who shot himself after holding up a bank and killing one patron, died in @ hospital here early Saturday.

Unchecked by storm winds, six planes had winged in a single hop the 2,059 miles from Norfolk, Va., to Coco Solo in the Canal Zone. When they landed at 6:25 Friday night, five of the fleet were timed for the long jump in 24 hours and 55 minutes. The sixth dropped be- hind during the afternoon but soon Joined the flotilla at Coco Solo. To Lieutenant Commander D. M. Carpenter, flight commander, and the 10 other officers and 25 enlisted men who made the flight, navy chief- tains sped their congratulations. Act- |ing Secretary Henry L. Roosevelt said: “Sincerest congratulations on your splendid feat. The navy and thena- tion are proud of you for having ac- complished the longest non-stop for- mation seaplane flight in history.” ‘The six seaplanes left Norfolk at 5:30 p. m. Thursday and passed over Cuba shortly after 8 o'clock Friday morning. From there, the usual course would have drawn the ships westward to follow the curving Cen- tral American shore line southward. But instead, Carpenter led his planes in an 800-mile jump over the Caribbean sea, battling through stiff winds. Navy officials said the longest pre- vious mass flight was made by Gen- eral Italo Balbo’s planes when the Italian air marshal flew to Brazil in 1931.
