election will be June 27. The ser-
vice man or woman does not have
to apply for the ballot. It will be
sent if ~ address is in the hands
of the county auditor in time. Legal

mitteemen. However, precinct com-
mitteemen are not elected until
1946 primary election.
Filings Close April 18

tion. Thus the opening date has
passed, and the closing date for
filing nominating petitions is April
18. Candidates who want their
names on the ballots must file
their petitions with the county au-
dltor on or before April 18.
Special session election laWS also

that" such ballots may be counted
in on both ,primary and general
election results any time prior to
the meeting of the state canvassing
board.
state canvassing boards meet
within 30 days after primary elec-
tion and on the first Tuesday in
December after the general election.

preparation and distribution of ab-
sentee ballots and providing for
counting of such ballots up to the
time of the meeting of the state
canvassing board, approximately 90
days are allowed for getting ballots
to and from service men.
A new law also advances date for

Three Measures
To be Balloted by
Voters at Primary
Assuming that the Petitions
which have been filed to initiate
rePeal of the state income tax law
will be found sufficient, North Da-
kota voters will be called upon to
vot% on that issue, and also on
two constitutional amendments at
the primary election June 27th.
Two more constitutional amend°
ments will be submitted to the
people at the November general
election.
The constitutional amendments
to be voted upon at the June pri-
mary election are:

ment indicate conclusively that the
calendar year of 1943 was the most
prosperous generally and the b~-
geet business year that North I~.
kota has ever enjoyed. Total collec-
ttons gross $7,873&32 which $1~80,-
078 over 1942 which was the next
highest income year in the history
of the state.
Sales tax collections for 1943 show
$4,556~12. This is an increase of
$270.901 over the 1942 collections.
Under normal conditions, sales tax
revenue is a fair barometer of
business conditions; but, under 'the
impact of war economy with its
restrictions and rationing and ac-
tual disappearance from the market
I of many of the ordinary commodi-
ties and the apparent inescapable
increase in prices, the sales tax as
a measure of prosPerity is more or
less unreliable.
For the first six months of 1943,
our sales tax collections showed a
decrease of $16,000 under the cor-
responding six months of 1942, but
since July I, 1943, sales %ax collec-
tions have exceeded the eollectlons
for the corresponding six months'
period in 1942 bY approximately
~00,000, and this notwtthstandin~
the fact that the new sales tax
law, effective July 1, 1943, exits
all purchases of state, cou~
school districts and other munici-
palitlos from~the application of the
tax.
Income tax collections for 194~
amount to $~,01%M00 which t~ an
increase of $799,961, over the 1~42
collectionS, Approximately $4~,0,~
of the income tax collection was
paid by corporations doing business
in North Dakota.
C~garette stamp sales for 1943
grossed $837,973. Net revenue to
the state from cigarette stamps
amounts to $79~J~4--the difference
being the 5 percent discount allow-
ed wholesalers.
Beer collections for the year
amount to $480,781, an increase of
$95.866 over 1942.
Collections for 1942 and 1943:
1942
Sales Tax ............ $ 4,2~,310.4~
Beer ................. 384,914.56,
Cigarette ... : ........ 703~4"
Income .............. 1,217~78.~
Miscellaneous ........ 2,463.94
$~,593~54.47
up to 30 days prior to the general
election in November. The new law
advances this to 70 days.
Everything Speeded Up
Other measures were passed, and
signed by the governor, all of which
have as their purpose the speeding
up of the whole election procedure,
tO enable the service men and
women to vote.
President Roosevelt permitted the
federal soldier vote bill to become
law. He did not approve of it and
so did not sign it. This measure
would permit men and women
overseas to vote with the federal
ballots, but only if they had ap-
plied for state ballots by Septem-
ber 1 and did not receive them by
October 1. In addition the gover-
nors of their state would have to
certify that, the ballots were auth-
orized by state law. Since North
Dakota has made full provision for
voting the state ballot, it would not
appear this federal law will concern
our service men and women.
