That IS What County Division Would Mean
According to the Views Of the Business
Men Of Minot at Friday Night Meeting.

bearable taxes. Stanley now
has fine school house. but it
will he % years before there are
enough children to fill it.
We give the above as an ex-
ample OF what would be true in
the other counties.
Judge Davis stated that Bow
bells county would comprise "a
townships. In some parts OF that
county'the land is. poor and not
well settled. Little Of it has been
proved up. The same conditions
would exist in Bowbells county
as in Black county. Many OF
the homesteaders have mortgag-
es on their farms and are paying
a high rate OF interest. They are
not in a position for county d.
vision.
A map Of Ward county with
the division lines was shown. 1t
was noticeable that the best
country to the north OF Minot
was cutoff leavingus the sparcely
settled hills in the south. Glen
burn would be in Renville county
with Mohall as the county seat.
Glenburn people do not go to
Mohall and never have any bust
ness there. What little business
they have to transact at the
county seat can be done at Mi
not. How many times a year
does a person in thecounty have
to travel to the county seatany-
way? The cost OF coming to
Minot once or twice Il year will
be not nearly as great as. the
extra taxes that will necessarily
have to be raised in case OF di-
vision.
But is the division of Ward
county as planned by Senator
Steele and his constituents, ac-
cording to the constitution ofthe
state OF North Dakota. Major
Murphy gave as his opinion that
it was directly againsttheconsti-
tuition and that il the county
could be divided in that manner,
then we can do anything that the
constitution says we cannot do.
Mr.. Murphy read the law on the
question and many drew Il freer
breath. 1t is believed that such
a bill would have no effect on the
division Of the county, even if
passed, but to save trouble, an
effort will be made to sidetrack
the bill.
Before the county is divided,
Ward county should come down
to a logical Development. Ward
county has an assessed valuation
OF $6, 100000. But where does
most OF that property lie? Does
it lie in the new counties as pro-
posed? 1t certainly does not.
Attorey Greene, Atty. Leigh
ton, John II. Lewis, Lawyer
Bradford and others, spoke.
Every one is opposed to the
proposition.

a,rafters and uownsite owners in
other parts OF imperial Ward
county, work teeth and toe nails
for the disruption OF the com
monwealth?
That was the question pro
pounded at the commercial club
at a well attended meeting OF the
business men OF Minot Friday
night. The concensus ofopinion
is that we should do something
and that right away.
A committee consisting OF Hon.
Jos. Devine, Major Murphy and
I. NJ. Davis was appointed togo
at once to Bismarck and use
what influence that could bear
upon the leaders to prevent the
bill introduced by Representative
Lyons from Bowbells from pass
ing. HI. III. Steele. the senator
from Mohall, is fathering the bill
and states that il was one OF his
election pledges to work for the
division OF the county. Steele
Was very careful not to make that
pledge known before his election,
or he would have received SO few
votes that he would never have
known that he was in the race.
But the political fight is over
and the Independent must feel
satisfied with the result. We are
now speaking from business
point OF view The Independent
has ever done what it could for
Minot in general and the business
men in particular.
The Independent editor does
not own q townsite and perhaps
that is the reason we are against
the division OF the county. But
we believe that if we had been in
business in Mlnot for eighteen
or more years and had been fed
and clothed by the business men
in a time when there was little
doing in the whole county Of
Ward. let alone little Minot, we
would not at this time take the
opportunity OF working for the
disruption OF this county for
purely selfish motives. We be-
lieve We would work for the men
who i'll times of adversely had
worked with us and for us. But
- fish interests create ingrati-.
Jude towards those who have in
times past have kept the wolf
frou our door.
The Independent believes that
every man in Minot should put
his shoulder to the wheel and
work for the county. The time
for division is not yet ripe.
Hon. los. Devine at the meet
ing of the business men at the
commercial club pointed out very
plainly why it would not be a
good thing for Minot and for
people in other parts OF thecoun-
tv to have the county divided
into five small counties. Not
more than one-tenth OF the
claims have been proved up. con-
sequently cannot be taxed. The
most taxes are paid in the county
which would constitute Ward
after division.
Take IN Black county, what
few people live there, would have
to get ont OF the county if they
had to be taxed i'll order to build
new county buildings and pay
for a set ofcounty commissioners
and county officers.
Stanley, which is in the pro-
posed new county would be the
county seat and Geo. w. Wilson,
editor OF the Ward County Re-
porter is the owner OF the town
site OF Stanley The division OF
the county would help Wilson,
us far as his townsite is con-
cerned. and would give "a few am
bilious politicians q chance to
cause the tax payers to pay nm
