Kositzky Seeks Broad Taxes Stirring North Dakota
State Auditor Kositzky faces sharp ridicule from official circles as he campaigns against last assembly tax legislation. Critics argue his proposals would tax every traveling peddler, toll out-of-state motorists, and levy fees on railcars, while also noting past failures to adjust railroad assessments and highlighting exemptions that lessen farmers’ burden. Baker and others defend exemption laws and deny farmers bear the heaviest tax load.

The Federated Community Development Association of Fargo staged state programs in Williston with Dr. McLaren and the Liberty Boys Quartette but attendance was meager. Only about forty attended Wednesday, and Tuesday’s crowd was small enough to deter the speaker. Residents are urged to back local community efforts and a horticulture society and community club, as lack of public support hinders progress and business plans.
