EXCHANGED BENCHES.

City Magistrates Marsh and Croak have
exchanged benches for "A short time.
The former is sitting at New Brighton,
and the latter at Stapletou.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1904-08-19

The vote in 1902 in Walsh county for
governor gave small majority for Gro
nan, the democratic candidate, while
Pembina and Cavalier increased their
republican majority, the latter especially
SO, soing from an almost equally divided
vote IN 1900 to a majority of about $50
for the republican ticket in 1902. So,
figuring on this latter vote. if Walsh and
Pembina counties each vote largely for
their own local candidates and Cavalier
county stays nearly with the party ticket
as they did in 1900, then the chances are
more favorable to Judge Kneeshaw this
time than they were before.
Ofcourse the fac: that Judge Knee.
shaw has been on the bench for one term
will make some difference Goth ways. In
his position in the course of business he
must displease some; on the other hand,
his record as clean, upright, courteous
and able judge will help now with many
who did not know anything of him per.
sonally four years ago. We also take
into consideration the fact that Mr.. Ny.
ers is popular and able to much great.
er degree than MIR. Spencer was though,
to be, and that will make some differ.
ence, but that difference will be mostly
in Walsh county, and Mr.. Spencer had
that pretty solid before.

opposed some arbitrary and foolish legis-
iation aimed at the railroads, but always
with the argument that such legislation
invariably defeats itself by its unconsti.
tutionality and unfairness.
But,-there is no evidence whatever
that Mr.. LaMoure at this session or at
any other session ever appeared before
the board as agent for any railway COM
pany. There is no evidence that he ever
asked the board or any member of it for
any concession to any railway company.
In the matter OF the difference between
ex-treasurer Driscoll and Mr.. LaMoure,
we have MIR. DIS. published statement
that 1t was not about railways.
AS matter offact, Mr.. LaMoure does
appear and has appeared for several
years before the state board in an official
capacity, to-wit: as an authorized agent
OF the county board Of the county oi
Pemnina-and his work before the board
in behalf of this county has always been
satisfactory to the county board and to
the taxpayers of this county. But so
far as we know he has never asked any.
thing from the board that was no, reas.

MIR. LAMoURE REPRESENTS PEN
BINA COUNTY.

Some OF our state contemporaries,
some of whom should know better, as.
sumo that MIR. LaMoure appears annually
at the equalization board as an emissiary
OF the railroad corporations and make
various sarcastic remarks about it,
The Wahpeton Globe writes to the
above effect and several other papers
copy the same or make similar COM
ments.
In the first place we see nothing wrong
in the railroads being represented before
the state equalization board. In 1903
they were assessed for one seventh of
the total valuation Of the. state and from
the fact that the roads mostly run in the
thickly settled communities and through
the Incorporated cities and towns their
proportion of taA alton as to the total OF
the state must be still larger proportion
than one seventh. In round numbers in
1903 the total assessed valuation of other
personal property was about 80 millions
while the railroads and allied corpora
-
tions paid on AN assessment of about %
millions
In the face Of the fact that they pay SO
la'ge proportion Of the taxes, and also
in the face Of the other well known fact
that there is a well defined sentiment
among large class Of people to 'sinch
the corporations" we can see nothing
wrong in the railways being represented
before the equalization boards. Il.
There would be nothing wrong in Mr.
LAM Monre representing these great inter-
ests ofthe railways. Probably no mail
~ the state has a better knowledge ii
the subject Of taxation than Mr.. II Moure
has. The collection of taxes and the sx,

THE JUDICIAL CONTEST.

The Grand Forks Evening Press has a
correspondent from Grafton who glori-
fes in the fact that Attorneys Swiggum
and DePuy participated in the demo.
cratic judicial convention held in that
city SO far as to speak in favor OF the
nomination of Mr.. jeff Myers, who was
nominated. Mr.. Swiggum was the re-
publican secretary of the district COM
mittee and signed the call for the repub-
lican convention and read thesam when
the convention was called to order. There
was not the slightest objection to the
legality of the convention or any dele
gate thereto. There was only one name
mentioned as a nominee before that con-
vention, though there was ample oppor-
tbnity given tor such nomination.. There
is no doubt if any other name had been
mentioned that the present nominee
would have received the total vote of
both Pemblna and Cavalier counties,
which was more than two-thirds of the
whole number of delegates.
Now, what have MessFs. Swiggum and
DePuy to complain Of? Only one thing,
that Walsh county could not have its
owu way against two. other counties,
each OF which cast more repub votes
at the last election than it did. 5sS.s
The sulks Of these disgruntled attor-
neys are, easily accounted for. III sole
