-DRCLARES GOVERNOR CAMOUFLAGED PLEA WITH SCHOOL, TALK Ralph W. Keller Assails Sales Tax Argument of Langer Last Week Fargo, N. D., Sept. 12—()—In an- swer to a published statement of Gov. William Langer in support of the pro- Posed state sales tax, Ralph W. Kel- ler, Fargo, speaking before a Farm- ers Union gathering at Wheatland Monday afternoon, declared “we dis- cover the primary object of the sales tax adriotty camouflaged behind rec- ognized school needs.” da “School funds are eligible to only 25 per cent of what is left of sales tax revenue after unlimited collection expenses,” he said. “Half of this al- lotment goes to the districts on the basis of school population, regardless of need. The remainder, such as it it, will be available for the use of distressed school districts after they have made a conclusive showing that maximum legal levies leave them un- able to operate on a prescribed min- imum basis. Even if the sales tax is adopted, this cumbersome machinery cannot be set in motion until well in 1934, and in the opinion of the most optimistic can have little or no ef- fect on any local school until well into the summer or early fall. “The governor urges we levy on ourselves an additional tax on every tangible article that changes hands and every professional service. Only two exceptions are made. One of these is stocks, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness, which are dealt in chiefly by those who can best afford to pay taxes. The other exception is not, as the advocates of this measure imply, all farm products, but only those farm products which the farmer sells direct.

Walter J. Bateman, once of Kansas City, later of Toledo, recently a West Side Gospel missionary here, went to jail Monday in default of $4,000 bail on @ charge of bigamy. The bond was fixed to hold him for the grand jury after Judge Thomas A. Green of felony court had heard Mrs. Esther Zeller Bateman of Toledo, his first wife and mother of his nine-year-old son, tell how he had left her three years ago and his second, Miss Louise Stumpf of Mil- waukee, tell of his marrying her last November. “Till give him up to his first wife and get our marriage annulled,” said No. 2.

Wenzel, commission- er of the North Dakota workmen’s compensation bureau, stressed the “definite, permanent need for abso- lute divorce” of the administration of workmen's compensation from politics. He urged staggered appointments, longer terms and security of tenure. “The workmen’s compensation law, he said, “is not a political ‘pay-dis- pensing’ machine; it is a highly tech- nical, business institution, operated for! etoudt, two distinctively diverse groups, with| consistently constant relationships in the same body politic—requiring a Under civil service, p make their terms of office fairly their positions secure and snd then destroy the opporeanaty bilge ered Person- “Another lesson learned is that com- pensation laws, though in existence for some years, still are very be rR ricerca grok , some equitica.” Pronounced ‘Wensel schedules background of training, a foreground Bartley, of experience, ability, courage, honor, integrity, and unprejudiced humanit- arian outlook that can recognize the rights of all men and the obligation to every man.” Cites Langer’s Move “In our own state, just by way of illustration, we heard this phrase: ‘We have the power and we're going to use it,’ which reflected itself in an amendment of the law, authorizing the governor to remove any work- mens compensation commissioner without cause.

The judge thereupon berated him for telling others how to live, but not practicing his own preachments and fixed the bond.

D., Sept. 12.—()—While North Dakota is harvesting one of the short crops of the century, as shown by government production figures made public Monday, the U. 8. esti- mate gives the state more than a 4,- 000,000-bushel gain over the produc- tion indicated Aug. 1. This year’s yield of all spring wheat in the state was set at 60,628,000 bush- els as compared with an estimate of 56,375,000 bushels on Aug. 1. With harvesting nearly completed in most sections of the state, the figures are believed to be virtually final, said Ben Kienholz, federal statistician stationed in’ Fargo. The state’s crop is 46% million bushels below that of last year, when the total wheat yield was 107,156,000, and for recent years above only the yield in the drought year of 1931 when 40,216,000 bushels were taken, and 1916, when rust left only 50,580, bushels, A further decline of pasturage in the state was reported by Kienholz.
