Votes by Holding Up Appropriations ments to the state constitution is con- |tained in the current edition of the | North Dakota Taxpayer received in | Bismarck Monday. | One would require all appropriation bills to be passed before the fortieth day of the legislative session. Another would require all revenues from spe- cial taxes, fees and levies to be placed in the general fund and the money spent only by legislative appropria- tlon and the third is intended to jeliminate some of the alleged abuses |Of the patronage power in appointive state jobs. | The reason for the suggestions are {set forth in an article in The Tax- | payer which follows: | Text of Taxpayer Argument | “The legislative line-up will always have its full quota of politicians on |both sides and there will always be plenty of issues for them to kick around and abuse while the great po- litical football game goes on with the taxpayers calmly footing the bill. “But while the North Dakota Tax- Payers’ association has about as much chance of eliminating the politician {from present day government as the So-called tax experts have of find- ing a ‘painless’ tax, there is one way of protecting the taxpayers and that | is to remove from the grasp of politics those issues which most vitally affect \their pocketbooks.

But, as every legislator feels obligated to the communities which sent him to the state capitol, the matter of ap- propriations for any institutions which might be located in his district ;is naturally of great concern and his actions, even on issues in no way con- nected with these appropriations, are therefor influenced by them. “It has long been the practice to postpone passing the general budget bill and appropriations for the vari- ous institutions until the last minute. Now here is an example of what might take place .at any leigslative session and which is the reason why |the association is asking the taxpay- ers of the state to support the amend- ment which will require passing of the general budget bill and the ap- proprations before the fortieth day of the session. “Suppose a certain group of legisla- tors are interested in seeing the pas- Kidnapers Free Erie Lawyer But Take Car Buffalo, N. Y., May 11.—(#)—Kid- naped by two men as he left an Erie, Pa, theatre Sunday night, Jeffrey W. Sobel, a prominent attorney of Erie, was released unharmed here early Monday. The kidnapers kept his car, and made certain they had his operator's license and registration papers’ in the wallet they took from him. Buffalo Police believe they wanted his car, and merely took him on the 90-mile ride from Erie so he could not report the theft immediately. Sobel said they told him they were escaping from “G-men who are mak- ing it hot for us.” In the belief they might be headed for Canada police guarded the Internation bridge Monday. Car Mishap Victim’s Condition Improved A marked improvement in the con- ition of Sigrud Farstad, 26-year-old Watauga, 8. D., farm youth, who was critically injured in an automobile accident last Friday, was reported Monday by the attending physician. Farstad suffered a severe skull frac- ture, a concussion of the brain and several broken hones in his face when the car he was driving crashed into &@ bridge after the headlights had Gone out. Although he was still not completely out of danger, his condi- tion was much better, the physician said. Necktie Cheats Death As Rabbit Hits Auto Balsam Lake, Wis. May 11.—(?)—j The knot of his necktie saved Fred 'Hoigard from possible fatal injury when a jackrabbit plunged against the windshield of his speeding car, showering him and Mrs. Hoigard with Jagged pieces of glass. One large sliver penetrated the necktie knot but was retarded sufficiently to prevent. a @angerous wound. As it was, both the Hoigards suffered cuts. The rab- bit was killed.

Stationery Dept. Bismarck, N. D. “The amendment to require pas- sage of the general budget bill ang the appropriations before the fortieth day of the session would allow for the Passage or consideration of the neces- sary revenue measures and would then leave the remainder of the ses- sion for consistent legislative action. “Special funds have also long been used for political footballs. Special assessments are made with provision that the revenues from them be placed into these special funds for specific purposes. Often the revenue produced is far in excess of the needs {and the remainder is then transferred {into the general fund, where such | provision is made, or as is more often |done, spent completely for that par- jticular purpose whether or not the lexpenditures were justified. The present method of having the revenue from special assessments go into spe- cial funds has fostered the establish- | ing of many assessments which other- j wise would not or could not have been made. | “These practices appear in both the | state government and that of the sub- divisions and the association is en- deavoring to initiate two amend- ments, one pertaining to state reve- nues and the other to the local subdi- visions, which will require that all Money coming into the hands of any state officer from any special levies, licenses or fees be placed into the state treasury immediately and then spent only upon appropriation by the legislature. The same would hold true as relating to the subdivisions and the money would be expended only upon appropriation by the gov- erning bodies of the subdivisions. “By placing these moneys into the treasury, or into one jack-pot s0 to speak, each department would be given its appropriation according to ite respective needs and the expendi- tures for these departments would then be based on actual administra- tion expenses rather than in propor- tion to the amount of revenue taken in. 2 Jackets, “Double-M ID "YOU EVER taste the brook?
