School of Forestry. The constitution
provides that it shall be located in either
Bottineau, Ward, McHenry or Rolette
county. The legislature Of 1898 pro-
vided for a vote to be taken on the To-
cation. Minot, in Ward, and Willow
City and Bottineau in Bottineau county,
were the aspirants for the location. The
vote,s'as certified, is-Minot 1923, Willow
City 734, Bottineau $50. The question
now m up, whether or not ladies had
a right to vote on this location, as ISL of
them did so in Ward county. IT they
had not, then Bottineau gets the loca-
tion-and you may be sure Bottineau
gets all she is entitled to, when yon know
that F. w. Cathro, one OF her leading
citizens, is one the ground to look after
her interests.

The twenty-five members of the house
who wrote to the sergeant-at-arms at the
beginning of the session, asking if they
could not collect their mileage without
going to Washington, have been followed
by a number of other rejected members
already here, who are c%rowding each
other at the sergeant-at-arms' desk in
their efforts to convert their stationery
allowances into cash. The law allows
each member $125 a session for station
cry, or he can, at will, take out its equiv
alent in cash. "Cash, please" appears
to be the request of quite a large pro-
portion of the members. It may be that
they do not think it will be necessary to
use much stationery, as the session is
short, or it may be that they deem that
%ungrateful constituents are scarcely
worth wasting postage on. The fact re-
mains that cash has the call on station
cry in the sergeant-at.arms' Office.

WHILE machine politics are prevalent
to some extent already, yet the first vot.
ing machine has yet to be experimental
with. One has been invented, however,
in New York, and will probably be tried
in that state. To all outward appear
ance, the machine is nothing more than
a sheet.iron box, five feet square and
seven feet high. 1t has two doors in the
front, one for the entrance of the voter
and the other for his exit, after he has
registered a freeman's will. On entering
the box, the voter finds himself fully in
closed from prying eyes, for there is a
roof over the booth which is lighted
from within. At the back of the booth,
the voter sees several rows of knobs
in parallel, perpendicular rows, occupy
ing almost the entire back wall. Each
of these rows is reserved for the candi-
dates Of a particular party, who are to
be voted for. If the voter cannot read,
he a recognize his party candidates by
the distinctive color of the paper on
which the names are printed. Provision
is made for the straight party man who
wants to vote the straight ticket, which
is the easiest thing to do IN, the Myers
voting machine, as it is by any mode
of voting yet devised. BY pulling a
lever at the top of a column of knobs
n vote is cast for every candidate of
the party. At the same time, all the
other levers and the knobs are locked,
and if the voter should remain in the
box all day, he couldn't cast another
vote. So much for the voters part.
The machine does the rest. Back of
these long rows of levers and knobs, is a
shallow box fitted into the back of the
booth, which contains the counting ma
chinery, which is worked when the levers
are pulled On the knobs pushed by the
voter. This automatic counting ar
rangement is similar to that of the auto
matte cash register, or a better COMPARE
son, perhaps, would be the counting ma
chimes which register the number of
newspapers u off by a printing press,
or the fare registers on a street car.
This counting machinery is protected by
a door which cannot be opened except
by the inspectors of election after the
voting is done, and then the canvass of
the vote is practically completed. The
exact vote for each candidate will be in
dicated by the machine. The voting ca
pacity of the machine is two a minute,
and the cost will be about $3.50, each.
The present expenses for printing, poll
clerks, etc., however, would be done
away with.

the puerile weeping of the p~estilent PEN
meyer. But the grandeur of his silence
does not appease the universal curiosity,
and SO the TRIBUNE feels called upon to
inquire as to the whereabouts and the
doings of the Hon. Walter Muir.
It cannot be that he has not yet extri-
Gated himself from the avalanche of bal
lots which descended upon him on No
vember 6. Neither a it be that he is
out Of politics. Both of these theories
are untenable. But where is he? His
silence is becoming ~unbearable, and the
attendant suspense is narrowing.
Let the Hon. Walter emerge from the
solitude of his great grief and speak
aloud.

FROM a summary Of the returns of the
recent election it appears that while the
republican vote in every New England
state except Massachusetts was larger
than in 1892, it increased little in the ag-
gregate because there were 1850 less in
Massachusetts. But the democratic vote
was $1,000 less, or more than a quarter.
In the middle states the republican vote
was $4,000 larger than in the presiden-
tial election, over 10 per cent, while the
democratic vote was 285,OOO, or 22.3 per
cent, smaller. In the central states the
republican vote was 1000, or II per
cent, larger than in the presidential cleo
ton, while the democratic vote was 3332,-
600, or 22.5 per cent, smaller. In all these

The Inter State Commerce commits
sion has just issued a preliminary re-
port on the income and expenditures of
railways in the United States, for the
year ending June 30, 1894. The report
contains the returns from $40 operating
companies whose reports were filed on
or before Nov. %, 1894, and covers the
operations Of 149,559.21 miles of line, or
about IS per cent of the total operated
mileage IN the United States. The gross
earnings from the operation of the 1885,
559.21 miles of line represented were
s949,639,075, of which s300,137,14 was
from passenger service, s617 ,95s ,499 from
freight service, and s22,42O,29S from re-
ceipts from telegraph, use of cars, switch
ing charges, etc. The operating expenses
were $643,428,331, leaving net earnings
of s306,210,944. Reduced to a mileage
basis the earnings from passenger SER
vice were $2,067 per mile of line; from
freight service, s ,132; total gross earn
ings, $3.50; operating expenses, s4,3O2;
and net earnings, S2,048. A comparison
of these items with similar results from
the complete report Of the previous year
shows a decrease per mile of line in
earnings from passenger service of $53,
in earnings from freight service of $774,
in total gross earnings of $840, in oper-
ating expenses of 1914, and in net earn
ings of 1886. 1000.

WHERE is WALTER MUIRe

Now that the battle Of the ballots is
over, when the smoke has lifted, and the
din and clash of combat is no more. the
TRIBUNE rises to ask what has become
of the Hon. Walter Muir, candidate ir-
repressible and representative extraordi-
nary Of the populistic faith.
Were there in progress any race for
office, from a battle for the supervisor.
ship of the town pump to a contest for
election to the United States senate, the
i~nterrogatory would be needless. Wal.
ter would be found in the thickest and
bloodiest of the fray, heroically r~allying
his cohorts and clans to victory, or to
death. But in the absence or any i'm
mediate campaign for office, it is difficult
to locate the Hon. Walter, unless he
should be in the stables undergoing
vigorous training for the first politica!
race which may come up.
From the retreats OF the Hon. Walter
there has come no sound, and death itself
is not more dumb than have been his or.
ocular lips since November 9Th. The
wild, weird, threshing machine like
music of his voice is stilled, and he re
mains wrapped in a sad, solemn, sorrow
ful, Sphinx-like silence.
Walters muteness is more %eloquen'
by far than speech. His extended silenc,
is unnatural, and appeals more strongly
to the curious than would the mellow
ripping cadence OF his tireless voice
He is grand in his:.voicelessness and mag
nlicent in his speechless quiet. The alb
solute silence of his oficeless Individual
ity clothes him with a bizarre weirdnes
which is impressive in the extreme. Hi
silent worship at the shrine of innocuoul
inconspicuity is mor touching than tn
noisy wailing of the asinine Waite, O

Hon. f. M. K1NTER believes that some
legislation looking to the stamping out
of the Russian thistle is imperative, and
suggests that the governors of North
and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska and Wisconsin should meet
and confer as to a plan. "Let the COVER
nors-elect of the above named States"
says MI. Kinter, "come together before
the meeting of the legislatures, and call
to their assistance experts Chose who
have had experience in dealing with the
weed) and in their conference devise
some plan and necessary legislation to
be followed by all the states to be put in
execution at the same time. I believe
that it can be stamped out in two years
by putting in operation the right plan
and with energetic action. It will no
doubt require the appropriation of con
siderable money, but it seems to me that
next to the support of our asylum and
penitentiary there is nothing else Of so
much Importance to the interests of our
state as the stamping out of the Russian
thistle. If the people of the northern
and eastern section of the state could
witness it's devastation in the southern
border of our state and in parts of South
Dakota, and It's tendency to spread into
their section, I am persuaded their farm
ers would rise as n man and unite with
those in the cactus-stricken section and
demand of our representatives in the
coming session Of the legislature that
this menace to the farming interests of
our fair state be stamped out, ever at
the expense of withholding of appropri-
atoms for the time being from institu-
tions that will be compelled to close up
permanently if this pest is permitted to
spread all over the state, and is not
stamped where it already exists"

SOME TIMELY SUBJECTS.

One Of the most important subjects
on which the wisdom of the legislative
assembly should be expended this win
ter, is that of taxation. It is not so
much q matter of whether or not assess
ments for taxation are high or low, as it
is that they are assessed equally upon
all property taxable. The amount of
money necessary to run the state gov
eminent in an economical manner must
be raised by taxation, and every part and
particle Of property in the state should
bear it's just and fair proportion toward
the payment of the expenses incurred in
carrying on the different departments.
We are of the opinion that the present
laws are not such as are best adapted to
the equalization of tax assessment on
various kinds of property in the state.
Among other subjects of taxation to
be considered this winter will be the
taxation Of railroads, and some system
should be devised by which the railroad
tax should be equalized and proportion
ed to that which the farmer pays. The
Great Northern railroad is paying taxes
under the gross earnings system. I pro-
pose in a few days to make a COMPARE
son between the taxes paid under that
system and the taxes paid by the farm
or under the system under which farmers
are assessed, in order to enable the legis-
lature to determine whether or not it is
best to perpetuate the gross earnings
system of taxation for the railroads of
North Dakota.
Another important subject to be con-
sidered is that of interest and usury.
Unquestionably Jul farmers have grown
poor by paying interest at a higher rate
than their Investments justify. The
legislature saw fit two years ago to re-
peal that part of the usnry law which
provided for the forfeiture of the prin-
cipal in case usury was taken, and since
that time all those counties that have
had partial failure of crops have felt the
strong hand of Shylock pressing for his
"pound of aesh."
We hope every member of the legisla-
ture will, before the session, consult his
constituents as to what their desires are
on the re-enactment of the old law. I'm
questionably, every banker will be op-
posed to this proposition; unquestion-
J ably, every taxpayer should be in favor
of the re-enactment of that law which
was most salutatory in preventing what
WE PLAINLY CALI ROBBERY for the ben
eft of money loaners. If there is any
appellation more repulsive to me than
that of Judas Iscariot, the betrayer, it is
that of a usurer.
Let Ut begin to legislate in the interest
of the people, and not the money loaner.
1 challenge and defy any human being
to show a single individual who would
be injured by the enforcement of
laws to prevent collecting more interest
than the law allows, and I challenge and
defy any human being to give one rea-
son why the law of North Dakota, which
allows only IL per cent interest to be COL
lected, should not be enforced and made
SO strong that in it's enforcement the
person who violates the law will feel
that he has been guilty of a crime, and
will be panished for having been so
guilty. r. N. STEVENS.
