AN IMPRESSION.

4 cypress dark against the blue
That deepeus up to such q hue
As never painter dared and drew,
4 marble shaft that stands alone
Above wreck Of sculptured stone
With gray green aloes overgrown;
A hillside scored with hollow veins
Through age long wash Of summer rains
As purple as with vintage stains;
And rocks that while the hours run
Show all the jewels, one by one,
For postime Of the summer sun;
A crescent sail upon the sea
30 calm and fair and ripple free
You wonder storms can ever be;
A shore with deep indented bays,
And DER the cleaning waterways
4 glimpse Of islands in the haze;
A face bronxed dark 10 red and gold
With mountain eyes that seem to hold
The freshness Of the world Of old;
A shepherds crook, coat Of fleece,
A grazing fock-the sense Of peace,
The long, sweet silence-this Is 0reecei

The Nelson County Observer takes a
charitable view of the recent Winship in
terview in the st. Paul Pioneer Press in
which he is credited with the statement
that "In his eagerness for office, johnson
was willing to trade with anybody" In
regard to this statement the Observer
believes that Mr.. Winship's language has
not been properly quoted or else that
gentleman's memory is decidedly at
fault. The writer was present when MI.
Winship's accredited l%ieutenants ap-
proac he'd MI. johnson on the day pre-
ceding his nomination at Grand Forks
with the proposition that they would
throw the Miller Winship strength to
johnson provided that he (Johnson)
would favor Mr.. Winship's candidacy for
governor.

vantage of the credit provision he claimed
as an Offset an Indebtedness of $500, leav-
ing the county indebted to him to the
extent of 800. "Betsey" Gray, another
eminent reformer and chief bottle
washer for the Law and Order league,
was assessed at $125. Hetook up the time
of the county board Of equalization for
half of two days endeavoring, not only
to convince them of an offset of 1926,
but to have his name left off the rolls
entirely. These are the kind of moral

A PROMINENT elevator man of Mime
apolis furnishes the Fargo Argus with
his views on the storage and private
warehouse question in North Dakota and
the Argus comments as follows;
If the law is as stated, and the insurance
to be paid, is as given, no a II man can ex-
pect elevator men to do the business as the
people require. While it is proper that the
elevator corporations should be subject to
proper restrictions, a law that cOmpels
them to store other peoples wheat, for less
than the cost II keep it insured besides.
is an unjust law, and ought not to be on
the statute books. Tho present crop will
require all the elevator capacity in the
state, and more toO-several times more.
Now what is to be done? Can you ask the
elevators to take your wheat and store it
when the law says the elevators must keep
it-and not ship? An elevator with 1907
600 bushels capacity has usually handled
several times that amount of wheat. Ele-
vatOrS were only intended originally to
store wheat until cars could be had, when
the grain would be pushed forward as rap
idly as possible to the large storehcuses on
the lakes in order to make room in the
local elevators for more grain. But under
the law as stated by Mr.. Robbins, local ele-
vatOrS must at all times have as much
wheat 0 n hand as they have tickets out!
The government only requires national
banks to have Is per cent. of deposits on
hand. Who can explain the theory of the
present laws, and why were they enacted,
and what for?
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-08-22

ATTORNEY GENERAL GOODWIN has rem
dered an opinion on the elevator laws,
holding that chapter 100 of the laws of
1887 is repealed, also chapter 100 of the
laws of 1890. The county license in chap
ter 1877 of the laws of 1890 he hold 8 is alb
rogated by the provisions of chapter
1873 of the laws of 1890, and that the state
license of $3.50 per 1000 bushels eleva-
tor capacity, is operative, but that no
bonds need be given. Elevators must
pay their license fees to the state instead
of the county. The fixing of rates for
handling grain, the attorney general in
Inmates, is unconstitutional, and the
same opinion is held regarding the pro-
vision requiring warehousemen to state
upon the face Of each receipt how many
cents per bushel below the price for the
highest grade shall be paid fer
such inferior grade is contained
in such receipt. But the attorney
holds that these are questions for the
courts, and he is of the opinion that Sec
tions ten and twenty-five if decided to be
unconstitutional, the balance of the law
would be valid.

Hon. M. N. JOHNSON takes occasion to
inform Editor Jordan of the Fargo Re-
publican that there never has been occa-
sion for doubt in the public mind as to
his position on the lottery question or
any other question at issue. He says he
has always been a consistent opponent
Of the lottery scheme. He was opposed
to it last winter when it took courage to
be an anti-lottery man. Mr.. johnson
says:
l went to Bismarck and did what I could
by public speeches and private persuasion
among my friends in the legislature
against it. l am very much gratifed at
the great, evident change for the better on
that question of public sentiment, which
time and reflection have wrought among
our citizens. l was with the minority Of
our public men then. and with pride and
gratitude find myself with the majority
now, by SIMPLY remaining firm and true to-
my earnest and abiding convictions. I
have always been, and am now and always
expect to be, opposed to lotteries.

the state convention it suited the exigen-

Two AND two are four, but eleven from
five and and a half-you can't do, you
know. That's about the situation of the
finances of Bismarck. At the last meet
ing of the council the question of light
ing the city was up, but the problem of
finances prevented action. The commit
tee on ways and means reported an esti-
mate of something like $1,000 required
to run the city for the coming fiscal year.
A report from the county auditor showed
that the total assessed valuation of the
city is $1,412,366. Under our city char
ter a levy of but four mills can be made.
This would yield a revenue of only
1868. Heretofore the city treasury has
received $500 from liquor licenses.
Prohibition has knocked this chunk out
Of the revenue and now the council
is confronted with the somewhat per-
picking problem of how to make both
ends meet, when one end has been cut
off more than half.

IT transpires that the Farmers ALI
ance Third Ticket" announcement sent
out from Grand Forks wal simply a joke
and democratic at that. The Argus
Grand Forks department says Doc
Cloudy, an out-and-out democrat, put up
the scheme and is 10Y having a good
laugh about it. The Plaindealer speaks
of it as follows:
No credence should be put in the polit-
lcal rOOrback sent out from this city, that
a third convention and endorse johnson
for congress, Roach for governor and
Roger Allin for lieutenant governor and
Helgesen for his present position. The
M emanated from a democratic source
and was put afoat to afford it's author
some amusement, and possibly to create
dlsatfectiOn and dissensiOnS in republican
ranks. There is no such movement in
contemplation. The ticket nominated by
the republicans is IN acceptable one
and is supported by every repub-
lican paper in the state. The
alliance organs express no dissatisfaction
and from every portion Of the state comes
words Of cheer. There is no serious dis
satisfaction in the party, some are dis
pleased with the candidates, others with
the platform, but these combined are a very
small fraction, and as election day APP
proaches even those will slip on the re-
publican harness and help to roll up our
old time majority. The position of the re-
publican party in the confidence of the PEG.
pie of this state is strong and unassailable.
1t needs not to apologize to its
constituency or to fight on the de-
fensive. When the campaign opens,
the exponents OF republican doctrine
will enlighten the people, and we believe
G 'nvlnce them of-the utter folly of trusting
or national, with the democratic party. It
has been weighed In the balance and not
found wanting" and such will be the YER
dict of the people in November next. No
possible good would come from an indie
pendent movement. 1t might toll off some
republicans who have been sorely disap-
pointed IN their political ambitions, and
perhaps give some agitators an opportun-
ity to bring themselves before the people,
blu it would accomplish nothing more.

son says: "My enemies continually call
attention to the fact that I am Of Scan
dinavian descent, and falsely represent
me as posing as a Scandinavian and
seeking advancement on that account.
Not a scintilla of foundation for such
assumption can be found in my speeches,
letters, or public Or private conduct. I
always ran on my merits as q republican,
a man and American citizen. Because D.
do not come begging the question, but
simply ask my fellow-citizens to merci-
lessly apply the severe standard of
American manhood, I am howled down
as an egotist. The American people are
brave, just and generous. I do not fear
their verdict in this matter" The fore
going are not the words and sentiments
of the narrow partisan, the ]demagogue
and self-seeker, but they are a complete
answer to such. Mr.. johnson was born
in Wisconsin and spent his childhood
and youth in that great state, his early
manhood in the equally great state of
Iowa, and the past eight years with the
pioneers Of North Dakota, loyal and
true to his fellow-citizens in every posi-
ton and ASSOCIATION. Having grown up
in the northwest he is thoroughly quail
fed by the knowledge of experience to
represent the interests of the northwest
in congress. Most of our people can by
going back a generation or two trace
their ancestry to some foreign country.
Who can stand up with the Norsemen
and say, I am of better blood descent
than thou?

FARGO is to be lighted by twenty arc
lights. The town has been in darkness
since June, when the towers were blown
down. By the way, it is noticed that
Fargo pays for a fve-year contract for
all-night light 800 each per month for
twenty lights. This is nearly double
what Bismarck will pay under the new
contract. The recent proposition of the
electric light company gives Bismarck
the best light for the least money Of any
city of it's size in the country.

WHAT WILL THE STATE TAX
LEVY BE?

The state board of equalization meets
at the capital next Tuesday in compl1-
ance with section 46 of the revenue law
passed by the last legislature. Their du-
ties are to eqnalize the assessments as
returned by the various counties and
make the levy for state purposes. The
board will find itself confronted with a
problem. The constitution provides,
section ia, that "the Legislative assem-
bly, SHALL provide for raising revenue
sufficient to defray the expenses of the
state for each year, not to exceed in any
one year four (4) mills on the dollar of
assessed valuation" The reading of that
section seems to indicate that a further
sum may be levied to pay the interest on
the state debt. It will be noticed that
the above section of the constitution says
''the legislative assembly SHALL provide"
etc. The legislature passed a revenue
law in which, section 4S, it is provided
that "the state tax shall be levied by the
legislative assembly and the rate of such
tax shall be certified by the state auditor
on or before the 18th of September an
nually." That is practically what the con-
stitution provides; but the Legislative as
sembly failed to make the levy and section
IT'S of the constitution says that "no tax
shall be levied except in pursuance of
law" etc. Now the question IS have we
a law for the levy of a state tax? Sec
ton 1859 Of the compiled laws of Dakota
territory-which laws are in force in the
new state unless repealed or amended by
subsequent legislation-provides that
1.-THE rate Of the general territorial tax
shall not exceed three (3) mills. The
last legislature having failed to make the
levy shall the board be governed by the
old territorial law and fix the maximum
levy at three mills, or will the limit fixed
by the constitution, four mills, be de-
cided upon? Here is a nice law point
and q serious one. Even q four mill
levy will leave a deficiency, and if there
is no authority to levy bat three mills,
then the state is indeed in IN embarras-
sing condition. It is believed, however,
that the supreme court, which takes the
matter of public policy largely into &C.
count in deciding such questions, would
decide that the aim and intention of the
lawmakers was to allow the state board
to make the maximum levy as provided
in the constitution-four mills.
