FARMER BOLTON
Tom Bolton One of the Early Settler and Sue
Cessful Farmers Of Walsh County

Every man is judged by results.
The man who goes into the new coun-
try and by six years of hard work
makes for himself competence and
aids in the march of progress and CIV
ilization in that country is entitled to
much credit. Thomas Bolton, the in
dependent and democrat nominee for
state treasurer, came to Grand Forks
in Aug, 1881. He hired out to David
Brown, who resided west of here and
worked in the field and through the
threshing season that fall, after
which he went to Walsh county and
took up the land on which he now re-
sides. Since then he has added four
more quarter sections to the original
quarter. Mr.. Bolton is a successful
farmer. In addition to raising grain
he has branched into the cattle rails
ing industry and shown by his works
that he believes diversified farming
the proper method for the North Da-
kota farmer. He is popular with the
farmers and all classes in Walsh
county and will receive the enthusi-
astic support of big majority of
voters in that county. Mr.. Bolton
was born in Wellington county, near
the city of Guelph, Canada, in 1S49.

and taught for two years as principal
of a high school in Richland county,
Wisconsin. He then took course OF
study at the University Of Wiscon-
sin, graduating in 1894, with special
honors in history. At this time he was
chosen to fill the chair of history aud
civics in the state normal school at
Valley City, which position he occu-
pied until the close Of the school term
Just passed. In June of this year he
resigned his position in order to take

gree Of Phi. D. This pan was aban-
doned with some reluctance to enable

the position is assured.

The republican party are basing
their claims for reelection in this state
largely upon their so-called brilliant
management of the state finances. The
republican press for the past three
years has been constantly singing
paens to the taxpayers for the pres
ent administration. Loudly have they
proclaimed from the stump and press
that the deficiency of the Shortridge
administration had been wiped out,
the credit Of the state restored and
the state treasury put in a splendid
condition. SO persistent have they
been in these claims that many per-
sons, even Of the opposite political
parties, had come to believe in them.
1t is pity that this republican
dream should be shattered, and, above
all, bad thin. for the state that
their claims are not true Ihey new
er existed excepting in the overhead
ed brains of the party orators and
editors.
A caref-l and thorough investiga-
ton into the present financial condi-
ti.-. of our state was made las week
at Bismarck by a gentleman thor.
oughly familiar with state financial
affairs. and this is the true snd actual
state of affairs found t, exist: The

penses will be for these four months
$155, 800. Add this to the present
amount Of unpaid vouchers, and you
have a total Of $1s1, 300, which State
Treasurer Nichols estimates at the
very outside, he cannot expect over
$35, 900 to apply upon. There will
therefore, be a deficiency Of SAG, 900.
In my judgment it will reach $780,
600 when the December bills are all
in. AS the salaries of the judges of
the state and the state officials, to-
gether with their clerk hire and ex-
penses, are first paid, it does not re-
quire a prophet to. see that not anoth-
er dollar can be paid for the main
tenance of our public institutions or
other and varied expenses Of the state
this year."

of Mr.. Dole Mr.. Lieber assumed con.
troll Of the business and conducted it
until 1893 when his stock was burned.
In 1894 he was appointed to the po-
sition of deputy internal revenue col.

Lieber also served two terms as alder
man from his ward in the city coun-

Mr.. Lieber has many friends in

which is turning against the republi-
can party and threatening to engnlf
them in November? Why I'D they
not stop with the raise of railroad
property? The assessment Of almost
all farm property and merchandise
was increased on an average great
er per cent than that upon railroads.
The railroads were heretofore asses
sed from $500 to $500 per mile.
lnis year they are assessed from
$500 to $1,000 per mile. This in It.
self was right, and had the board of
equalization stoppeu right there such
action would have been commend
able. But they did not. If other
property of the state was increased
in an equal proportion, would the. rail
roads pay any more taxes than be-
fore? Does it not mean lower rate
Of tax levy, and no more taxes to the
railroads than before? The people
know that tie railroads of our state
have never yet paid to exceed one
half of their proportion of the taxes.
It is taxes that they are after and
not assessments. The board stulti-
fed itself by offsetting the higher as
S0SSMlCAI VI CAC AAAAOduo W VVOAA q
greater raise in the assessment of
personal property, thus actually Civ
ing the railroads a greater advantage
than before. This is the way the
Bismarck end of the republican party
redeems it's party platform pledges.
The republican press only gives one
side of the work of that board. A
majority Of whom are again candi-
dates for reelection.
1ne following table compiled from
the unpublished report of the state
board of equalization held in Bis
marck last August, will prove the
truth Of the foregoing. The figures
show the percentage Of increase. In
a very few cases there were some
slight decreases, but in nearly all Of
the spaces left blank there was no
change over the county boards:
