Clarence D, Locklin, Sr., 73, of Grand Forks, N. D., one of the old- est Methodist Episcopal ministers in North Dakota, died in a hospital here Friday from a heart ailment. In his way to visit a daughter and her family in Sioux Falls, S. D., he became ill in Minneapolis while stopping over briefly at the home of a friend. Rev. Locklin was one of the last of the pioneer Methodist preachers of North Dakota, those hardy cir- cuit riders who helped organize the Methodist church in this state. Vermont, where he was born.

By George Clark “Let's act like we know something about gears and cylinders so he won't sell us a lemon.” TURNING THE SEARCHLIGHT | BEHIND THE CURRENT SCENE Blood may appear on the political moon when Senator Gerald P. Nye and Governor William Langer speak from the same platform at a picnic Sunday at Sykeston. ‘The reason is a letter Nye sent to Langer about two weeks ago telling the governor he is against the proposed state sales tax and asking the exec- utive to ignore the subject when he speaks at Sykeston. The letter was polite and friendly enough but it also carried a threat. If Langer espouses the sales tax, Nye bluntly informed him, the junior senator will feel forced to take up the cudgels against it. ‘The reason, it was pointed out, is that Nye has always been against a sales tax nationally and opposes it in principle. He will feel called upon to keep his record straight if the matter is mentioned. Langer hasn't replied to the letter. At least he hadn’t early in the week. On Thursday, however, he issued a statement that he is not going to campaign for the sales tax but will leave the issue to the people. This, apparently, paves the way for him to talk about something else at Sykeston, although he talked about the sales tax over the radio Thursday night after first announcing that he was going to ignore it. Neither Nye nor Langer are publishing their correspondence but the information here given comes so straight its accuracy cannot be questioned. ‘The stage is all set for either a love feast or a knock-down and drag- out battle at Sykeston. It probably will be the former. FRAZIER IS GOING FISHING Neither Nye nor Senior Senator Lynn J. Frazier wants to take part in the sales tax fight but information is that Frazier is privately just as much against it as Nye. And for the same reasons. Nye didn’t want to appear with Langer at Sykeston but he had prom- ised E. D. Seekins, picnic manager and publisher of the Foster County Independent, and that was that. Frazier is going fishing down in Minnesota, thereby avoiding any troubles of this nature. LONGFELLOW WAS RIGHT When Longfellow delivered himself of the remark that “things are not what they seem” he might have been thinking of politicians and their reactions to various situations, judging by the comment of one school officer who got a letter from Governor Langer asking if he should call a spectal election. ‘The man is against the sales tax but a strong advocate of legal sale of beer, so he responded in the affirmative, despite the fact that the governor's query was accompanied by a strong plea for the sales tax. Ever since then the fellow has been campaigning against the sales tax. HOW MUCH IS REPLACEMENT? How much of the sales tax is a replacement is set out by Governor Langer in a secondary appeal to school district officers, broadcast through the mails under date of Sept. 2 at the public expense. ‘The letter calls attention to the levy made a year ago to support the real estate bonds and then declares: “The sales tax replaces this property tax and wipes it out.” The governor's letter fixes the sum at “roughly, nearly two million dollars.” The exact sum levied was $1,507,452.75, this figure being taken from the records of the state board of equalization. In the same envelope was a broadside from Tax Commissioner J. J. Weeks in which he estimated “the tax will amount to $6,000,000 when the law terminates June 30, 1935.” The school officer who offered the exhibits to The Searchlight com- pened that it seemed rather strong to replace a million and a half with six ion. HERE'S THE ANSWER TO THE BEER PRICE QUESTION After serious investigation and careful attention to all the factors in- 308 volved, The Searchlight has come to the conclusion that beer will be cheaper if the initiated beer bill is approved by the voters on Sept. 22. The question has agitated many individuals and the men behind the bill protested sharply a few weeks ago when The Tribune casually declared that beer might cost more under the law, the basis therefor being the declaration of a local bootlegger. After swinging hither and yon among several dispensers of the foamy COs beverage, however, we take it all back, even though the wholesale price of beer has dropped here in recent weeks. At present beer to be sold over the bar costs from $10.50 to $11.50 per; '340| half barrel, laid down here. Only a few weeks ago it was as high as $19.50 but the railroads are carrying some of it now and the truckers have been| ca: forced to reduce prices to meet competition. Beer may be purchased at from $2.50 to $3 per case, delivered, this 388} price including the discount for the return of the empty bottles.

Granting that additional shipping costs might raise the price of keg fe beer to $8.25 and case beer to $1.50, as compared with Moorhead, there still remains a substantial saving after the gallonage tax has been paid. As provided by the initiated bill this is one-half cent a pint or four cents a gallon. Thus the cost of the keg would be raised to approximately $8.90 a barrel and the case to about $1.70. These figures would leave the dealers something extra with which to pay the license taxes of from $15 to $100 for retailers and $200 for wholesalers, One additional tax may be levied on the beer traffic by the city, or county, the latter political subdivision having no authority to licenses within corporate limits.

"nounced “no school in the country will be permitted to close for lack of funds as long as the federal treasury has loaning power.” Talking at Hillsboro, Thoresen re- ferred to the sales tax as “a remnant of the dark ages and kept alive by despotic rulers because of the theory that any tax that is a good revenue producer is @ good tax.” For Own Protection Thoresen, pointing to his 17 years’ membership in the Nonpartisan Teague, said one of the underlying principles of that organization is to “formulate a tax system based on the fundamental principle that a govern- ment is a cooperative endeavor by the people themselves for their own pro- tection and well-being and that the cost of maintaining this cooperative social system is to be shared in the proportion of the ability to pay.” After discussing the various provis- ions of the sales tax, Thoresen de- clared the “sales tax law, if approved, will probably be the largest political office in the state.” Any number of inspectors at any salary set by the tax commissioner, he said, is possible and permissible under the act. “If enacted into law under the pres- ent administration,” he continued, “it will undoubtedly be the biggest po- litical machine the state has ever had. There are no restrictions whatsoever. Inspectors by the dozen at good sal- sries will undoubtedly be the order of the day. Five per cent upon sal- srles means much nowadays.” | Weather Report | FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday; slightly cooler tonight, For North Da- kota: Partly loudy tonight and - Sunday; slightly cooler south por- tion tonight.
