A little sense and Nonsense By "Jak[e"
Freak Proposals
Chief interes~ of the folk~s who keep
infl)rmt-~ on govermnental affairs (and
that includes nearly all of them) is
centered on the doings of the state
legislature at Bismarck, where the bi-
ennial tug o' war is being staged.
Although differences of opinion on
~the part of the lawmakers result in a
lot of debate, espeelalty when the su~-
.]oct centers on partisan or factional
matters, there is one subject on .which
all seem agreed, tmmel,v: that it will
~be necessary to explore every e~neetv-
:able and possible source of tax revcmtm
to pay necessary current expenses.
:But as to the means of raising this
revenue, the plans suggested by mem-
~aers of the legisliture are many and
varied, some mildly humorous, some
xid~culous.
WhAle this writer is not trying to do
any back seat driving, we don't believe
it will ~pset the legislative program to
mention a few of the prizewinning
suggestions for producing additional
tax +r~v~nue. For instance, the one to
tax soft drinks a penney a bottle.
whip,was claimed to produce a r~dllion
a year. A wet blanket was thrown
over ig~e glowing prospects when fig-
ures were produced showing that the
~ss sales amount to only a little over
one half of the million, and it was
further argued that it wouldn't hardly
'be fair to raise the price of the kids'
beloved bottle of pop to the extent of
20 percent.
Some of the legislators seem to sus-
pect a source of revenue in all guzz-
lers, both big and little, as is evidenced
by the plan put forth to charge a $2
annual license for all persons buying
liquor at the bar by the drink. This:
plan, its sponsor claimed, would alsot
bring in a million a year, but census
records showed that if all persons in
the state, both men and women, be-
tween the ages of 21 and 150, would
~e willing to pay $2 for the rare prive-
lidge of taking a drink at the bar in-
stead of buying a bottle and drinking
it elsewhere~ again the revenue would
be only ~ iit:le" over half the amount
promised. ~o this plan was kicked out
the back door together with the one
sugegsted by the former governor for
a $3 a head tax to help pay the old
age pension.
A 5c tax on a 15c show ticket is an-
other bright idea advanced by a legis-
lator.. A 2 percent sal~s t~x is often
'~onsidered burdensome, bu~ would
really be small stuff compared with a
33 1-3 percen~ tax for the bit of diver-
sion sought bv the theatregoer.
There axe others. For instance, the
5 percent sales tax, with the individual
purchaser of merchandise to be cre-
dited on l~is taxes to the amount of the
sales tax paid. Another one. A $100
annual tax on public card tables used
for playing rummy and similar diver-
s~ons. And so, on and on.
There is a bot of something with
which all humankind is endowed, or
rather afflicted: that certain amount
of selfishness, or, as perhaps more ap-
propriabed styled in this hard b=.tten
age, the instinct of self perservation.
And it is no doubt this human trade,
with the tu]derlying object of passing
the buck to the other fellow in the
matter of paying taxes, which is the
cause of some of these freak revenue
raising propositions. The writer may
be mistaken in this, but our guess
would be that the fellow who proposed
the pop tax hasn't anY kids to buy ~t
for, or won't spend the nickel for pop
if he has the kids; that the one who
suggested the $2 a head bar drinkers
license never took a drink at the bar
in his life: that the one who wanted
to nick the movie fans to the extent of
1-3 percent never heard of Charlie
Chaplin, and the one who proposed a
$100 tax on card tables certainly has
no idea how little profit accrues to the
management from a rmnmy or euchre

No doubt they meant well, but their
proposals never reached the voting
stage. On the general average, the
personnel of the present legislature is
being credited with being one of the
most intelligent ever assembled at Bis-
marck. Reports of their deliberations
Indicate that they are economy minded
in the matter of eliminating useless
bureaus and employes, and if they co-
operate with Governor Moses, who
seems to have similar inclinations, the
legislative headaches of future years
over the matter of raising the needed
revenue will be fewer in number.

vorson returned to Beach from St.

CITY CRIBBAGE TEAM
Thursday night of last week a group
Of farmers came into town to avenge
a previous defeat they had suffered
in a cribbage match at the Hathaway
farm the preceding week, and with
blood in their eye they fought their
way to a decisive victory, winning by
104 points. This now makes it a
match apiece, and a rubber contest
should prove to be a real battle.
Players on the farm team were
Harold Feldhusen, Ray Hathaway,
Ernest Zielsdorf, Howard Alguire,
Hans Anderson, Glenn Hathaway, Erv
Bretenfeldt, and W. C. Wharton. On
the city slicker lineup there were such
stars as Harry Halstead, Mark Freese,
John Alguire, Jess Still, Walt Brat-
ton, Arthur Hanson. M. O. Wallace
and Ralph Samuels.
