The coal miners strike has
brought to the public attention
some facts as to the effects of the
Wilson tariff law upon this in
dustry. The Wilson law, it will
be remembered, reduced the rates
of duty on coal IS cents per ton,
it having been IS cents per ton
under the Mckinley law and re-
duced to 40 cents per ton under
the Wilson law. Curiously Presi-
dent Ratchford of the United
Mine workers association states
that the wages of miners have
been reduced about IS cents per
ton since 1893, the very year in
which the free-trade Congress
met and began framing the VIII.
son act, which reduced duties q
cents per ton. The moment the
Wilson law passed. coal from No
va Scotia mines began invading
the markets on the Atlantic coast
especially New England, ane
drove out of those markets th,
West Virginia coal, which had al
ways found an outlet at fair price.

The work is very neatly done on
the Forum Merganthaler machine
and is certainly a credit to the
Office. We notice that the Fo-
rum has paid no attention to the
attorney generals opinion, mere
ly setting the name, subdivisions,
year and total tax including pen
atty and interest. The Press is
setting the Stark county list and
is setting two additional columns
of figures-"tax" and penalty

enough for Cass county ought to
be good enough for Stark, but
the PRESS did not deem it safe to
go counter to the attorney gener-
ais opinion and. so has been to
upwards of $500 expense in buying
material and extra labor just for
these two extra columns of figures
in the tax list, which will weigh

n. P. Settled with Burleigh.

Tax Commissioner Fernald settle.l
the Northern Pacific delinquent tax
with the Burleigh commissioner ON
the 9th instant on u basis of SO per
cent. In speaking of the matter the
Bismark Tribune says: ''
"Mr. Fernald stated to the board
that the road believed it had good
grounds upon which good share of
the delinquent taxes could be de.
feated, and that if the matter was
not settled the road proposed to fight
it in the courts until settlement
was reached. This wonld take eight
or ten years, and in the mean time
no taxes would be paid by the road.
If, when the matter was eventua lily
decided by the courts. it should be
held that the road must pay the taxes
1t had decided to abandon the lands,
and allow them to revert to the
county or state for taxes, as the
taxes would amount to SO cents an
acre on all the lands, and the road
could not afford to pay this amount.
The lands were not saleable, md in
many of the counties they are being
used by all persons for grazing pur-
poses. The road gets no revenue for
them, and it would not he paying
investment for them to pay the taxes
on them unless they were COM
promised.
"The commissioners discussed the
matter thoroughly and came to the
conclusion that it was the part of
wisdom and business prudence to ac-
cept the proposition for settlement.
The amount of ready cash which
such settlement would bring into
the treasury would be valuable to
to the county at this time. 1t wonld
place all of the funds in fair shape,
and place the county in such shape
that the gain in few years would
amount to more than the difference
between the whole amount of the tax
due and that offered in settlement.
1t was to be considered that, if taxes
were settled the road would each year
hereafter settle Its taxes, whereas on
the other hand, if no settlement we're
made. there would be no railroad tax
paid into the county until the courts
adjudged the matter, and the road
would probably surrender the land,
so that in cash the county would get
nothing. Then too, there are many
other delinquents who have awaited
this settlement to pay their taxes
which are past due, and such pay
ments will clear up these old debts
and place back on the tax rolls many
parcels of property that have been
forfeited to the state"

business to settle the N. P. taxes

that Stutsman will do the same.
