Why are Taxes 90 High 2

Editor PIONEER EXPRESS:
In view of the approaching school
meetings and with reference to Mr..
Bechtels letter in your last issue, it would
be well 20 call attention of the voters of
the county to where the responsibility of
the leyying of taxes rests. As a preface

defend, blame, criticise Or answer any.
body.
The total levy for 1858 is in round
numbers land for brevity 1 will use such
through this articlc) $4,000. Of this sum
1900 was levied by the township boards
and, with them, whether too much, as in
some townships, or too small as in others,
lies the direct responsibility, after taking
into consideration the fact that the need
Of any township tax was settled at the
polls by the people, who decided by an
Overwhelming majority that township
EXAMINATION was necessary and desirable
This year, 1884, the townships in tow,
meeting assembled decide the amount
to be raised by popular vote, and for thi.
year the individual voter may hold him
self responsible, so far as his vote and in
duence goes, for the amount of his town
ship tax.
Again, in 1883. the school districts i,
their annual school meetings by popular
vote voluntarily taxed themselves nearly
$4,000. Thus we zee that the creates
half of the levy for 1883 was for township
and school district purposes and yer!
largely depended on a popular vote of tn
people in the territory affected. From
the variation in the various levies Of tn

President Arthur made good selec.
tion when he appointed Judge Paine.
to the Dakota bench. 1t is said that
he did this at the instance of Senator
Ed!nunds. If Judge Palmer is sample
of the kind of men Edmnnds would
appoint, if he were president. the
country could not make mistake in
electing him. Judge Palmer has on
several occasions shown the genuine
and intlexible stuff of which he is
made. For instance. his stand on the
divorce question has the clear ring.
At the first term of court in Turner
county divorce case came up where.
upon the judge delivered himself as
follows: Gentlemen, this court is
opposed to divorces. If you come up
to the line and make your proof exactly
in accordance with the requirements
of law the court will grant the divorce,
because the law commands it. But
this court will never 60 one inch be.
You'd the strict letter of law to give
divorces. Iwant you to understand
this"

$40 mills; 1882, levy, o mills, and 1883,
levy, 8 6.l0 mills. Thus we see that the
levy for general purposes in the last three
years il gradually decreasing, and this in
the face of the fact that in 1883 tho liquor
license amounting to the sum of $1,000
was diverted from the county fund to
the general school fund. II it had not
been for this, the general levy by the
county commissioners would have been
for 1883 only 8-l0 mills.
by the auditors statement last year the
county commissioners issued orders to
the amount of $4,000; this year they can

r11D rowNsu1P SYSTEM.

We hear q good many complaining
that the township system was ever
established in this county. 1t is of no
avail. however, to indulge in regrets
over IL measure that cannot well be
alb ,!ished at this late day. The town.
ship system in itself is I'LL right. The
mistake was in introducing it SO early
in the history of the county, before
the majority of the settlers began to
lake an active interest i'll the manage
mclit of public affairs. Herein lies
the greatest part of the trouble. In the
history of all new countries it is char
acteric of the settlers to be so engross-
cd with the duties and struggles OF
pioneer life for the first few years It's
to be indifferent to the acts. qualiiica.
tons or duties Of their public servants.
While neighborhoods are in such HI
unsettled state it is unwise to thrust
upon the people II system of govern.
ment with which they are not famil.
lar, which was done in this county two
years ago. But as this measure WAS
voted upon and ratified by the people
we need not look further for subjects
upon which to throw blame for ANY
disadvantage arising thereflom

Township Iesislstion Recommend

Editor PIONEER EXPRESS:
Seeing in late issue Of your paper that
two Of our county commissioners are to
proceed to Fargo to take part in discus
sion on county government, thought
would call their attention, through your
paper to two things, which are constant
source of complaint and grave dissatisfac-
ton to ratelayers, Wig: The care of the
poor, and also to the fact that we are COM
PEELED to pay our taxes to the county
treasurer in Pembina. Now, Mr.. Editor,
l eau well understand why the care of
tho poor should he given to the county
commissioners before We had township
municipalities. but fail to see why it
should still remain SO. We believe that
the same amount of relief could be given
ut u very much smaller cost. if the town
ship authorities had charge of the poor
of their several townships, Us the merits
of each individual! application for relisf,
would almost certainly be known 70 the
township relieving officer without sn ex-
pensive investigation, md the rsserayers
would also have the satisfaction Of know
ing that the relief given was acs,,ally
required. Grave changes and constant
complaints ale being made under the

Question is also continually teing asked

The First Capture.
Banner Store.

When the gunboat Effie l.. escort
ed troopship Harmon to Oscoda, she
was, of course, armed to the teeth.
Among other destructive weapons was
gatling gun in the shape of case
of beer. On the voyage down, the
gunboat had occasion to come close
to the troopshp, and the case of
beer happened to be on that part of
the gunboat's deck close to the troop
ship. The Guards soon discovered
the enemy, and they determined to
capture it. A long pike pole was OBJ
tanned and when the marines on the
gunboat were not looking, the case of
beer was hauled OH board the troop
ship. Every Guard, who could do so,
grabbed q bottle, and in a very short
time the enemy was conquered. A
view of the bottles turned bottom
side up and the other end pointing to
mouths of certain guards, must have
presented very agonizing view to
the men on the gunboat. The empty
case was recovered by the man of war.

How the Panic Benefits.

The result of the panic in New
York has been to knock the bottom
out of prices on all goods, and espe-
cially is this true Of carpets. Our
buyer being in the market at the pre-
sent time has taken advantage of this
to buy large stock which are arriv-
ing every day and being at prices
away below ordinary. Thus the pan
ic benefits the people by giving them
the best goods for much less money
than would otherwise be the case.
Being the only house fortunate enough
to have a buyer in the market at the
present time we are in n position to
undersell all competition, and we do.
In justice to yourself don't buy car
pets until you see our bargains.
