.ENM0NS COUNTY RECORD.
BY d. r. STREETER.
Wllliamsp0rt, North Dakota.
Pioneer Journal of the County.
The Record is entered at the Hilliamsport
P0st0tfce as sec0nd-class matter.

PRor. MERTON FIELD, of the state az.
ricultural college. Fargo, describes. in the
Bismarck Tribune. the effects Of diphthe-
ria anti-toxip, the great modern remedy
for that terrible disease. He says that,
where hypodermic injections are made
within two or three days after the disease
comes on, the patient is almost sure to
recover. The Bismarck physicians are
now prepared to use diphtheria anti
toxin In their practice.

The following paragraph is dead
center shot at those boards of county
commissioners who--like those of Nor
ton, Burleigh, and other counties--took
a sum of money from the N. P. in lieu
of the full amount Of its taxes, knowing
that the company would never have
given up cent had its attorneys not be-
lieved that the taxes could be collected in
full. The paragraph is taken from the
dissenting opinion of Justice Corliss, of
the state supreme court in the cause of
the N. P. r. r. Co. vs. Barnes. Justice
Corliss saya:
EVERY taxpayer has direct interest
in the payment by every other taxpayer
of the county of his share of the taxes
collected in and by the county. Every
piece of property exempted from taxation
increases the burden Of all other property
in the county. If the county officers can
bind the taxpayers, by agreeing to accept
81 in lieu OF legal tax of $l00, they can
bind such taxpayers by compact to vir.
tually exempt certain property by q re-
lease of every Thousand dollars of tax for
q cent. Now. expand the exercise of this
power unt1suteSweePs over nearly all the
taxable property in the county, leaving
only trifiing balance to bear the entire
burden Of taxation, and we wouldhsve
presented the spectacle Of local and infe
rior officers, vested with particular powers
aud exercising specific duties, in effcc,
Authorized to con6scate the entire prop
erty of the few for the benefit of The
many, because this power to indirectl,
exemp pt can be SO exercised as to throw
upon the remaining properly tax .equa
to its entire value.''

MIR BUNN, head legal push for the n.
P. company, comes out with mislead-
ing letter in regard to the Wells county
tax-case. He gives figures which belle
his statements. His figures show that
the county was awarded within about
81, 200 Of what it sued for, outside of the
1878 taxes, which the county authorities
could not have expected to get and which
Emmons county has not claimed, the
federal supreme court having decided
that the gross.earnings law covered the
payment of taxes for those years. True,
the newspapers exaggerated the amount
involved; but that does not change the
principles laid down by tho decision as
to the case decided and the cases of the
other counties whose commissioners re-
fused to bctray their constituents. The
Mandan Pioneer chuckles over the fact
that the sum sued for by aud allowed to
Wells county was not as large as report
ed. and then praises the wisdom of the
band OF Morton.county patriots who sur.
rendered to the company without strug-
gle, while making individual taxpayers
pony up to the last cent. But the Pioneer
fails to state that the suit just decided
was for the fotsam and jetsam of taxes
prior to '95, asked for under the "Wood
Law" and that, a. in the case of Em.
mons, the taxes for years subsequent to
'94 are covered by another suit. Further
more. glance at railroad map would
have shown that only about one tier OF
townships and half of another tier in
Wells county lies within the railroad
land-grant; while, all of Morton and
Burleigh and two-thirds of Emmons are
within the grant, aud the amount Of taxes
the N. P. lightfully owes in either Of the
three counties named is as dollars to dimes
when compared to the claim of Wells.
For instance. the claims of this county
are approximately as follows: 1889 (un.
der retroactive lawl, $1,000; under the
Wood law, for the years 1901 -2-3-4,
$12, QUO (s9. 500 Of this amount being for
1se4); for 1861, $4,000. The total
is about $55,00O. The reason that the
figures for years prior to '95 show a
smaller pro rata Of taxes is explained by the
fact that up to 95 the patents for indemnity
selections had not been fled for record; and
for the years covered by the Wood law, out.
side Of 1894, taxes were paid except for few
scattered tracts. Besides, up to '95 the rail.
road company had its own way in the mat.
