The election commissioners OF
. township of Crystal Falls, or
many of their number as par
ipated in the printing OF the
| icial ballots used at the town
ip meeting on Monday, are
| lilty of petty deal which
| indeed beneath the dignity of
| Reputable body of men. The
AMoND DRILL Office had been
kbpointed to print the official
| lots for use at the approach
! 2 election. The form for the
yllots had been made up, and a
Foot filed in accordance with
q law governing such action.
hen preparation was being
ndc TO print the ballots. the
9eriff of Iron County served an
| junction upon the printe,, re-
rraining him from printing the
lllots. with a certain vignette
omitted, according to the di-
,ction of the board OF election
)mmissioners. BY virtue of
c injunction, the management
this Office deemed it improper
print the ballots with the Wig
lite ommitted. The deputy
ERIK called at the Office and
BON being informed that the
lllots could not be printed
ithout the ommitted vignette,
ated that the ballots would be
tinted elsewhere. He then in
dentally requested a loan of
% vignettes used by this Office
making the original form from
hich the filed proof was taken.
esiring to exercise due fairness
the matter the cuts were
aned. The tickets were print
at Florence and brought to
rystal Falls, together with the
gnettes on Sunday morning.
that time. candidates whose
lmes appeared on the official
allot and who were not pleas
.ltly connected with the board of
tection commissioners, desired
struction ballots printed. They
oplied for the work at this Of
&c and an attempt was made TO
gain Che cuts that the work
ight be executed. Application
as made 70 several parties con
acted with the printing job at
lprencc. but no information re
.arding the cuts could be oh
sined. Finally the vignestes
ere located" in the Office of
le deputy township clerk. That
hicial was again requested TO
eturn the cuts to their owners,
ut refused TO do SO. excusing
lch action by the statement that
rtain members OF the board
nd not seen the ballots and they
eemed il indiscreet to return
ne vignettes. On Monday
lorning another requisition was
ade upon the deputy clerk for
10 cuts, after the polls OF the
lection had been opened. AT
lis time the refusal was point
lank. There is only one expla-
alton for this infraction of de-
ency. The obvious desire Of
hose who withheld the vignettes
rom their owners was to pre-
ent certain candidates from OBJ
lining instruction or fac smile

into consideration in arriving at a con-
clusion in 80 important a matter as the
raising of a revenue for a great govern
ment. | contend, however, that this in
creased tax would not affect the con-
sumner at all. 1t would add only about
one-tifth of one cent a glass to the cost
of beer, and it would of course be i'm
possible to add this amount to the retail
price of an article. AS a matter of fact,

for n or two cents less than it is but
for the difficulty of making change and
the objection that most people have to
carry pennies"
1t is known that Senator Voorhees,
does not think the country would accept
with ~oomplacency al additional tax on
beer and he would probably oppose q
proposition in that direction.

North Dakota Farmers Want Wheat
Grown in Other Localities.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 2O.-Commissioners
Stevens and Erickson and Finley Grant,
secretary, of the North Dakota railroad
commission, had a conference with the
Minnesota commission and the state
grain inspector at the capitol. These
gentlemen have been here several DAYS
In an endeavor to arrange for procuring
seed wheat for North Dakota farmers,
not to supply deetitute farmers, but to
secure a complete change of seed as far
as possible. their own grain in many To-
calities being d~eteriorated by smut,
which has been increasing rapidly in
the past two years. At a
conference with Minneapolis elevator
people they found the latter not only
willing but anxious that such a result
should be accomplished as far as pos
sible.
The commissioners are anxious to get
seed which is not only free from smut,
mustard and other foul seed. but would
like to have it from sandy soil, in the
belief that the change would be profit
able on the clay soil of North Dakota.
The elevator people will assist them in
change whenever the localities from
which the grain is to be selected are
decided upon. 1t is also stated that the
railroad companies will make a half
rate in the TRANSPORTATION.
