against the success Of the enterprise.

Mr.. w. Douglas returned from a trip
to Oklahoma, Iowa and other sections
last week. His son, "Dr. George"
is located IN Shawnee and is having a
good practice. Mr.. D. was much inter-
ested i'll the methods of farming in those
states. He was perhaps more interested
in the alfalfa crop there than any thing
else. He says they raise FIVE crops
year and that it is splendid pasture all
the time. He thinks it would be great
thing for North Dakota if we could raise
it and he proposes to try some expert
mental seeding.

The country is bounded on the esst by
the Red river. while Pembina and
Topene rivers cover with tributaries the
northern half, while Park or Salt river
does the same service in the southern
halt. The railway facilities are Of the
best. The Northern Pacific runs across
the east part to Winnipeg, while two
branches of the Great Northern run quite
up to the northern boundary. The three
lines beng about equi-distant, so that no
part Of the country is remote from rail
and market facilities. There is no gov
eminent land, but private lands can be
had at figures reasonable in comparison
with Iowa and Illinois values.
While there IS no government land in
Pembina county, there is still room for

have the energy to work, even if they do
not bring bank draft with them. Here

Personal Taxes and Others.

While people are talking about taxes
II is well to bear in mind that taxation
of invisible personal property is of the
inquisitorial kind almost universally
condemned by the political economists.
There are many reasons besides tax.
lodging why a man often hates to
state the amount of his personal be
longings.
Very often, says the St. Louis Re
public, he does not know and cannot
make a half intelligent estimate how
much his personal property is worth.
He may have receipted bills which tell
how much he paid for his furniture.
his watch. his diamonds, his carriages,
his wagons. his horses, mules and cat
tie. his tools in industry. his baby's
cradle and his wife's cook stove. but
nobody but the auctioneer can find
out how much they are worth now.
There are gold bricks galore wrap
ped up in many of the paper securities
locked up in the safe deposit boxes,
and many a man when the time comes
TO give in the assessment of his per-
sOnalty would be comforted to know
that certain of his securities are worth
anything at all.
Even if he knows what his person
atty is worth he has the certain know
ledge that if he gives it in fairly he

at gross undervaluations. This simple
fact ought eternally to condemn the
taxation of personal property as Il
makeshift too clumsy to be retained
in any form by a civilized community
a day longer than it is absolutely ne
cessary to provide the requisite public
revenue.
The personal property tax, like the
income tax. is open to the objection
that it is part of human nature TO OBJ
ject to answering impertinent ques-
tons about ones private affairs. Often
there are business reasons why the
information should not be disclosed.
\ concern in difficulties. which it
might otherwise pull out of. may be
seriously hurt, if not ruined. by the
premature disclosure of decline in the
value of its personally or i'll the
amount of money it receives in a given
time.
The easiest taxes TO collect are those
which subject the payer to no annoy
ances in the assessment or payment.
and in the assessment of which he has
no opportunity to Justification. The
internal revenue tax on tobacco. dis
TILED and malt liquors is paid without
a murmur since its only inconvenient
incident is the higher price of the ar
ticle purchased. The internal revenue
tax which requires the citizen person
ally to aiIiX a stamp to every check he
signs or telegram he sends or to ev-
very legal document executed is uni
versally voted bore and a nuisance

of taxation month longer than is alb

Death and taxes are considered by
the majority of mankind as equally in

sophy is to make both as easy as pos

indicted for felony there is no country

he will have to return and answer to
the charge of looting the funds of the

in a very tight corner. and the general
verdict is that it serves them right.

Texas suddenly discovered that every

At first she thought it must be a
mistake-but it wasn't. Undoubtedly
something was the matter. Panic
stricken, Miss Texas began to revolve
like a dancing Dervish and looked
over her shoulder to see if the trouble
was with her clothes. She could dis

Greek may be all right in what
they allege against coffee drinking,
but when people call coffee drink

To be crank is not quite the

II will be remembered that at the
time of the Boxer outbreak Earl Ii
was in Canton as viceroy of the Two
Kwangs, says writer in the Chau-
tauquan While there he made a con-
tract with a syndicate of native mer-
chants to sell to them the privilege of
collecting the likin tax or mileage du-
ties on local commerce. The terms
were one-fourth cash and the balance
in equal quarterly installments. The
syndicate made their first payment
and then attempted to reimburse them
selves by collecting the tax from their
competitors in business while passing
their own goods free.
This resulted in riots so fierce that
the syndicate was forced to abandon
ita efforts to collect the tax. They
urou appealed to Earl Ii for the. re-
turn of their money and insisted that
he should take over the collection of
the tax, which was properly a govern
ment function. The earl refused and
intimated that he would hold the
