LOW TAX

There has been a cry on the part of
some property owners of Fargo over
the high percentage rate Of taxation.
Mayor johnson has all along commended
that if a proper valuation was placed
On property in this state and city, the
per cent would not be so large as to be
terrifying to outsiders looking for in
vestment.
Just to convince the public that he
correct, he has written to several
cities in different parts of the country
for a statement as to assessed valua-
tion in proportion to population.
Some of those taken at random are
Madison, Wis, with 19,164 people, as
sessed valuation $1S,220,5s7; Terra
Haute, Ind, with 36,676, $685. 900, 600;
Helena, Mont, with 1900, $1O,2OO,-
600: Fargo, with $3.50, has an as
sessed valuation of only $2,971, 74O.
This shows that Fargo's method of
returning property for taxation pur-
poses at about Is per cent of it's value,
gives the city a black eye in at least
two ways. The showing is extremely
bad and the levy has to be made so
much higher on the small valuation
that it looks like confiscation. Mad
ison and Helena have valuations ap-
proximating s. 1000 per capita, while
Fargo is less than $500. While there
are many men of wealth in Madison
and Helena, no one believes for a mo-
ment the difference is as much as
shown by the assessed valuation and
the figures have aroused the public to
the injustice being done.

PURE FOOD LAW.

"This act shall take effect January /,
1902" comprises the text of the last
section of an act passed by the last
legislature, which is designed to stop
the adulteration, misbranding, and SELL
ing Of ~adulterated and unwholesome
foods and beverages. The full text of
the new law will be found in chapter
four of the laws of 1901.
The law makes it the duty of the
states attorney to prosecute all persons
violating any of the provisions of the
law. The penalty is a fine of not less
than $25 or more than 500, and all the
necessary expenses of Analysing the
alleged adulterabed articles of which
complaint is made.
The plain intent of the law is, that
the buyer shall know exactly what he
is buying, and to stop deceit by means
of labels or packages. For instance,
any ~concoetion may be put up and sold
for baking powder but before it is put
on the market the package must con-
tain a. distinctly printed label, con-
tanning the name and address of the
manufacturer and a true and correct
analysis of all the ingredients con-
tanned in or constituting a part Of the
compound being sold for use as bak-
ing powder. BY this means the buyer
is informed of what he is buying, and
in the possession of all the facts he is
taking his own risk.
The law prohibits the labelling or
branding of packages or BOTTLES, cans,
etc, in a manner so as to deceive or
mislead the purchaser. limitations,
under the specific name of a another
article. will not be allowed. In the
case of candies and chocolates, they
must not contain poisonous colors or
1avors.

It cost Uncle Sam $3,5O4 $50 40 to
conduct the census bureau during the
past year. The extent of the reduc-
tion in the number of clerks to be made
by Director Merriam may be under
stood when it is stated that his esti-
mate for the expenses of the bureau in
the fiscal year beginning July |, 1902,
is fixed at $1,972, 100. The army of
enumerators appointed to take the cen
sus in the field cost $46,465, and the
supervisors $64,912. The divisions of
the bureau relating to population and
agriculture it's most expensive ad-
juncts. Population involved an ex-
penditlre during the past year of ST.
1S9,981, and the work in the agricul-
t1ual division cost $1,212.1S2. The
special work of collecting statistics re-
lating to the blind and deaf involved
AN expenditure of nearly $4,000. The
single item OF stationery during the
past year represents an expenditure Of
about $4,000. and for renting quarters
in Washington outside Of the census
building $33S 900 was spent. The vol
ume of work in the division of agri-
culture, of which LeGrand Powers is
chief ~statistician, is enormous. The
number Of cards to be tabulated in this
division aggregate a total of 80, 74S,3 2
The recent report of Director Merriam
shows that the work of the census bu-
Teau is progressing rapidly, and that
the task will be completed far in ad-
n of that of any previous census
in the history of the United States.

The Grand Forks Herald is inclined
to be argumentative regarding the
matter of regulation of railroads, urg-
ing national rather than state control
of corporations. The different condi-
tons prevailing in the several states,
the Tribune believes, would make the
matter of national regulation a diff
cult one TO adjust and harmonic the
interests Of the states concerned. The
question Of railroad rates has always
been handled by the states, each COM
monWealth governing its legislation
by its necessities. There is no
reason why corporations, to do bust
ness in the several states, should not
be subject to state control.

TWO INTERESTING CASES.

At Darlington Wednesday Judge
Pollock instructed the jury in the case
of the State VS.. Kelly, accused of SELL
ing liquor at McHenry, where he was
agent for the N. P, to bring in a ver-
dict of not guilty. Sixteen witnesses
were examined and we're positive that
liquor was not sold. One man ad-
mitted that he took a drink of whisky
in the depot, but he had it all by him
self and had purchased it elsewhere.
The complaining witness did not know
that whiskey was sold by Kelly but
had heard that such was the case. The
state had no case at all but Kelly was
put to the expense of a trial just the
same, though the activity of a man
who did not seem to think that evil
dence was necessary.
1t is said that Judge Pollock, the
apostle of temperance, WINGED when
he gave the order to the jury to bring
in a verdict of not guilty in Kelly's
case. 1t is seldom that the court has
been compelled to take such action il
a blind pig case.
The case against Harrington, a
young farmer accused of manslaughter,
was dismissed. Harrington vas al
legged to have brought about the death
of Mike Garvey, a machinery dealer Of
Darlington, three years ago. Hair
rington and Garvey we're engaged in a
scufie and it was alleged that Har-
rington threw Garvey so that his knee
struck a sharp corner of a pillow share.
The wound resulted in blood poison
was tried two years ago on a charge Of
manslaughter and the jury disagreed.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The attorney generals office will
hold that under the law passed at the
last session of the legislature regarding
the holding over of commissioners
whose terms expire in 1901 and 1908,
the county commissioners, county
treasurer and county auditor will APP
point their successors. Some question
has been raised as to whether the law
was specific enough, and it has been
held that the present commissioners
whose terms expire this year might
hold over. The attorney general holds
that this is not the case, as it was the
intention of the law to have the ap-
pointments made and that this is to
be done through. the state.

OF INTEREST TO THE WEST.

III Nv IL ~ IA4I 1hp
w. W. Jermane's Washington spe-
cial to the journal says:
"Of immediate interest to both Da-
kotas and Montana. is a statement
which l am authorized to make today,
that President Roosevelt has decided
to recommend to congress the initiation
of the policy of developing the great
west east of the rocky mountains by
irrigation. 1t is understood that the
president will not do o than indorse
the principle but this will be import
ant, for no other president has ever
gone that far. With this recommend
alton as a starter, congress will prob
ably call for reports from the geological
survey and then make an appropriation
for beginning the work. During
Roosevelt's administration it is be-
lieved congress will eNpend several mil
lion dollars in irrigation projects,
should the good times continue. Sen
ator Hansbrough has had a good deal
to do with the matter. His bill pro-
viding for an irrigation fund to come
from the sale of public lands will be
introduced as soon as congress meets.
He will press it through his commit
tee on public lands, which unanimously
recommended it last winter, and get it
on the senate calendar at an early date
in the session. Tt is his belief that
the bill will become a law this winter.
Senators Lodge and Spooner are op-
posed to irrigation, on the theory that
it might require too much money, but
it is said their opposition will not be
facetious O stubborn.
Senator Hansbrough was here sew
eral weeks ago to see the president
about irrigation, and yesterday he saw
him again on the same question. While
he refuses to discuss the result Of his
White House visits, l feel justified in
saying that President Roosevelt will
favor irrigation in his message, and
that Hansbrough is one of the men
who have had a hand in bringing him
to that conclusion,

WORK NEARLY COMPLETED.

Immense Quantity. of Material Used in
Painting Executive Mansion.
The work of painting the White House
has been finished, with the exception of the
roof and the flag pole. The mansion looks
beautifully white. and James NJ McCabe,
the head painter, who has for years had
charge Of such work at the mansion, says
the Job has been done better this time
than for many years, because plenty of
time has been allowed the painters.
1--WE have put on two coats Of paint, -
said Mr.. McCabe, "and In doing SO we have
used 1890 pounds of white paint, which had
to be thinned with oil and turpentine. In
the thinning process we used about 800
pounds of Oil and over 200 pounds of tur-
pentine, making total of over 3 800 pounds
of paint that have been placed on the build
ing. In round figures the cost Of the work
this year has been about s., 800, including
labor, material and the like. More cal g
was used this summer than in long time.
The building has not been given two coats
Of paint since 1893, the year Of the Spanish
American war. We painted 1t In the late
summer and early fall while the President
was away. Every year since then the build
ing has been touched up wherever neces-
sary.
.'The old paint Is pretty thick on the
building 1t ought to be burned of and an
entirely new dressing put on. / don't sup
pose the building has been scraped or the
paint burned off since it was built. We
burned of the paint on a number of the
window frames this time but we could not
do that work over the whole building. I
suppose the work of completely removing
the old paint from the building and putting
on four coats of new paint would cost not
less than 81. $5.0O0-probably much more. Con-
gress would have to make a special appro-
priation therefor. The work ought 10 be
DONE however. A close observer win see
rough spots on the building now, due to the
peeling of of paint in spots.''
