M. E. McCurdy of Fargo, secretary of the North Dakota Education as- sociation, in pointing out it had not been necessary to close a schooi, said he believed that if the sales tax is Te-enacted by the next legislature, it should be confined to support of schools and relief as at present, as- serting that it was for these specific purposes the people of the state had voted its approval of the tax a year ago. Arguments both in favor and ‘against the tax were heard by the commission which held the hearing in connection with a study of taxation. A to obtain public expres- sion on the income tax was to be held later in the day. Senator John Brostuen of Alexan- der, chairman of the commission, pre- aided. Two plans of taxation, one for 8 sales tax on luxuries, and the other @ tax on fixed income, were suggest- ed by Morris Erickson, state secre- tary of the Farmers Union, who said that organization has not changed its etand in opposition to a broad sales | tax. Burt Finney, Bismarck druggist, as- serted at the hearing that twice the amount now collected through the cigarette tax could be taken in through stricter enforcement and by legislative tightening of the law. He) suggested that “bootlegging” in oc- arets could be eliminated if the leg- falature would require all cigarets be purchased by retailers from North Dakota wholesalers and that the wholesalers be required to stamp the cigarets instead of the retailer as at Behind Man He Vowed to Kill 61 Goodrich Dealers | Attend Meeting Here Sixty-one dealers selling the prod- uct of the B.

Attending the summer school will be Rational leaders of various denomi- nations, each experts in a particular field of church work. It also was decided to sponsor a series of Christian education tours in North Dakota from Oct. 26 to Nov. 8 under the leadership of the Council of Christian Endeavor. Under the Plan teams of two persons will visit each cooperating church in the state with a view to assisting in developing sound religious education programs in each district.

The group also will inaugurate a series of preaching tours to be held at Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot and Bismarck, to be attended by pastors of all churches in those districts. This will be followed by the observance of national preaching missions, in which pastors will either preach a series of special sermons in their own churches or arrange with other pastors for an exchange of pulpits. In charge of the preaching mission work will be a committee composed of Rev. Armstrong as chairman; and Revs. Stockton, Glen Lindley, 8. E. Fairham and A. W. Heidinger, all of Fargo; Rev. F. E. Logee, Bismarck, and Carl Pitsch, Fargo. The organization is composed of representatives of the Presbyterian, Evangelical, Congregational, Baptist and Methodist churches and has as its object the establishment of com- ity in local fields of religious work and the avoidence of duplication in missionary work, In effect the council's duties are those of a general planning board for the leading Protestant denominations.

If William A.

At this time his brother-in-law and the cashier of the bank in which he works become involved in a money short- age at the bank and Bill comes to the rescue. How he does this and his re- turn to the bosom of his relatives as the same lovable person can not be divulged, “The Sap” was being presented here for the first time since its record- shattering New York engagement.

Y. “Root, hog or and the sooner you do one of the three the better off Il be.” This was the advice given before the Bismarck Kiwanis club Tuesday noon, for adults as well as young persons, by W. F. McClelland, superintendent of the state training school at Man- dan, in connection with his discussion of the George Junior Republic at Free- N. Y., with which he formerly ‘was connected. One of the basic principles of the Junior Republic, McClelland said, is that each boy or girl at the institution received as much as he or she worked for and no more. The superintendent scored what he called “national human bankruptcy,” resulting from the system of giving to persons for nothing. When people re- ceive something for nothing, generally they have no feeling of gratitude, he opined. Urges Self Reliance Our young people are our greatest asset, he told the Kiwanians, but de- clared they will cease to be an asset if they are not taught to be self-sus- taining when they become adults. “Another strong point in the Junior Republic system,” McClelland said, “was the elimination of credit. Boys and girls could not get their coat or suit until they had put in enough work hours to pay for it. There was no such ied as paying for it after receiving It. McClelland lauded the late William R. “Daddy” George, founder of the institution and told of his experiences in building it from an institution of five boys in 1895 to an institution of 250 boys and girls in 1912. District Judge C. W. Buttz of Devils Lake, leutenant governor of Kiwanis in this district, paid an official visit to the club and lauded the local unit for its activities, Cooperation Asked Warren Kraft, speaking in behalf of the Lions and Boy Scouts, who this week are conducting a clean-up, paint-up campaign in the city, urged Kiwanians to do their share in clean- ing up their yards and beautifying the city. George F. Shafer appealed to the club to back the Bismarck high school debating team by attending the special debate Thursday evening. Guests at the luncheon included W. M. Werhett of Valley City, past dis- trict governor of Kiwanis; Walter Lagerberg, Fargo; Arthur W. Lucas. Jr. and Paul O. Netland, Bismarck; Dr. A. C.
