''We shall not oppose the passage of the
bill. for 1t gives some relief, but will en-
deavor to properly amend 1t. If we were
by our efforts to defeat its passage, we
would leave the heavy burden of unjust
taxation on the country. The serious OBJ
lection to the taxes levied by this bill. and
as they will be left under the law, is that
the burdens Of taxation throughout the
country are unjustly distributed This be-
Ing true, of necessity the revenues collected
are ineQuitable."
The report says that a reduction of $7O-
100000 in taxation would permit the relief
of the tobacco and beer producing inter-
ests. which have suffered from heavy war
taxes, and would allow the abolition of
many vexatious and annoying taxes that
will be continued under the proposed legis-
lation.
I'VE contend" concludes the minority,
"the vice of our existing legislation is that
almost all the burdens of the federal gov
ernment are imposed upon consumption
rather than upon production. For federal
purposes the people are taxed for what
they want and not for what they have, and
a false system of taxation has thus been
inaugurated, which has practically made a
per capita distribution of the burdens in
stead Of distribution in some degree pro-
pcrtionate to the wealth which Is pro-
teCted."

August will go down in the annals as
one OF the most disagreeable months
ever experienced in Noath Dakota.
There have been very few days without
rain, mostly in theform OF light showers
or heavy thunder storms. Hail has fall
len in many localities. The weather has
been hot and the atmosphere extremity
humid, rendering existence almost un-
bearable. 1t kept up the record until
the last day, and even though the entire
night OF the 31st. The change that
Sept. brings in is decidedly agreeable.
But very little wheat has been market
ed during the past week and such little
as has been received was damp and not
of very good quality. Many threshed
from the shock before the grain was dry
and to such q word OF warning may not
come amiss. 1t only takes little damp
grain in bin to start the whole bin
heating and it only takes few days for
material damage to be done the grain.
Ii your grain was at all damp when put
in the bin examine it carefully and
frequently and at the first sign of heat
ing remove it TO some other bin or place.
It is not possible to stir it about
sufficiently in a bin containing much
grain.

IN HANDS OF SHERIFF.
List Of Personal Property Tax Delinquents
Placed There Oct 1st.

The delinquent personal property tax
list will be placed in the hands of the
Sheriff by County Treasurer McGauvran
on 18th of this month. After due notice
given the delinquents by the sheriff,
which must be done prior to the first of
October. he is empowered to levy on any
of the property belonging to the de-
linquents that he can get his hands on.
This however, makes it very expensive TO
the latter, as the costs of collection are
often more than the original tax. Even
if they are paid voluntarily before Oct.
there is already - per cent penalty
due, five per cent of this became due the
first day of February with an additional
one per cent each succeeding month,
making IL per cent in ALL At the
present time there are about 1900
dellnquents on the tax lists. Quite a
number of these will proably pay up
before Oct. l as the payment cannot be
avoided, and voluntary payment simply
saves the delinquents the cost of the col
lection and the sheriff from very un-
pleasant duty,

The pigeon grass which has grown up
thick in all the wheat fields, as well as in
many fields Of oats and flax, is good
feed for stock if cut while green. One
farmer says he has been feeding his
horses on it for two weeks and they are
doing well. Another farmer cut a lot OF
grass mixed with oats and finds his
stock do all right on the feed. Ii not cut
too late it seems to be an unexpected
source OF good feed, and there is any
amount it. It is better than prairie
hay that is half old grass.
