A LIVING EXAMPLE.

The value of reclaimed land Is we'll
illustrated in the case of the people of
the Netherlands who own 1851 ,O0O, 900
of American railroad stocks and
bonds. These people have made this
wealth on land which they have re-
claimed from the North sea. In order
to do this they have been compelled to
build dykes at fabulous cost, and to
maintain these works at heavy ex-
pense. Nature is wasteful of her re-
sources as man would utilize them.
The Netherlands have been largely
wrested from the sea, and had it not
been for their far-seeing policy the
land which has produced the money to
buy American railroad bonds and
stocks would today be covered by
shallow arm of the sea which would
not even furnish a supply of fish.
The people of the Red river valley
are in practically the position of those
of the Netherlands when they first
began consideration of the matter of
retaining land from the sea- Large
areas of the richest land in the world
are either rendered valueless or have
their productive power reduced be-
cause of the superabundance of water.
The task of retaining this area is
reclamation of the Netherlands at the
time that it was undertaken The
benefits will be realized almost imme-
diately and once complete drainage
system is completed in the valley,
there will be a wealth-producing area
added to North Dakota that will en-
able the land owners to own railroad
stocks and bonds more extensively
than even the people OF the Neither
lands

fair charmer for whom he entertalns
the highest respect and affection. IT.
seems that the editor is something
of an artist in the line of flattery
and can hand out such splendid
package OF pretty compliments that
very little confidence is placed in the
sincerity of the same.
The young lady in question had not
been sighted by the editor in this
respect and she rather resented this
profusion of compliments, having been
told by other girls of the same pretty
nothings having been said to them.
She picked up newspaper one day
and noticed an item In 1t referring to
f1atterer In no complimentary man
ner and wishing to let the editor
know that she was aware of his in
sincerity and disapproval of the same,
drew pencil line on the edge of the
newspaper near the item and at his
next visit when he was again utilizing
his stock of compliments called his
attention to the same in the remark,
Il noticed an item in this paper the
other day which has more truth than
poetry in 1t and which 1 heartily en-
dorse." Taking the paper and looking
at the item marked by the young lady
he read, 1T is an ill wind that blows
a woman's skirts about her ankles and
dust in mans eyes at the same time"
In marking the paper, the young
lady had drawn the pencil. down to
the next item following the one she
intended and the editors eye first
caught this item. Returning the paper
to her he said II agree with you and
we have such winds in North Dakota,
too. What has wind got to do with
it?' was her reply. Read and see,"
said the editor and she read. The
editor does not call at the home of
the young woman any more and is not
noticed by the indignant miss as she
passes.

N. D. Law !. N.
IS POOR
County Drainage Commission
Is . Bad Thing Says En-
gineer Ralph.

State Drainage Engineer Geo. A.
Ralph of Minnesota, is in the
city In attendance on the drainage.
convention, believes that the slow
progress which drainage has made on
the Dakota side of the river as
compared to the Minnesota side, is.
primarily due to the difference in the
laws of the state. Mr.. Ralph said to.
The Evening Times:
II do not believe that the North Da
kota law providing for drainage
commission for each county is a de-
sirable law. Minnesota has much.
better law; the reasons for this con-
dition are obvious. In this state, three
men are appointed by the county COM
missioners as drainage commission
and they assess all damages and bene-
besides letting all contracts and To-
the people will not take kindly to this
arrangement; public officials who act
as appraisers must suffer criticism
and distrust. A committee which acts
in a large number of cases necessarily
makes enemies; distrust follows and
the work is retarded because people;
are afraid of the drainage commission
I'm Minnesota the county commits.
sioners locate all bitches and let con-
tracts. The assessing of benefits and
damages is done in each instance by a.
disinterested board of appraisers, ap-
pointed for that specific ditch. If they.
displease number of people, when
their work on that ditch is done, they
step aside and someone else takes the
odium of the next ditch appraisement.
The law works well and believe that
the people are more willing to spend
their money under its provisions than
under the North Dakota law"

An INCOME TAX.

Changes in governmental systems
come slowly. A step toward pro-
nounced departure from any conven-
tional policy in public affairs is sure
to meet with opposition. but if the new
idea has merit it will ultimately pre-
vail
Since the beginning of the govern
ment we have been raising revenue
through tariff duties and internal
taxes, but the time has arrived when
the receipts from these sources are
beginning to fall below the require
ments, and the necessity of providing
new or additional methods for bring
ing the income up to the increasing
expenditures is admitted by even our
wisest statesmen. Should tariff re-
adjustment, which must be accom-
plished before long, and which should
of congress called for that purpose
last spring, fail to result in terrifying
the depleted revenues, our lawmakers
will find themselves confronted with a
serious problem. The supreme court
which declared the income tax law of
d 1894 to be unconstitutional, may con-
clude before long to reverse itself, for
in the opinion of The Evening Times
public sentiment is strongly in favor
of this system of taxation, and even
the third estate" in our governmental
machinery has been known to take
judicial notice of public sentiment.
Although the democratic party in
1892 declared for an income tax in its
national platform, the vote in congress
by which the income provision was
inserted in the Wilson-Gorman bill
was by no means a partisan vote.
Many republicans in both houses re-
corded themselves in favor of it, and
the adverse decision of the court-by
one majority-was not along partisan
lines. Again, it is undoubtedly true
that one of the reasons why Mr.. Cleve-
land refused to sign the democratic
tariff bill, which was measure of
"perfidy and dishonor," as he said, was
because it contained the income tax
clause.
The Evening Times predicts that the
day is not far distant when congress
will again enact statute providing
for an income tax, first for the purpose
of raising revenue, and second to put
check upon the piling up of colossal
private fortunes. 1t will be gradu-
ated tax bearing so heavily upon the
man whose wealth exceeds reason
able amount that the possessor of it
will find it profitable to be satisfied
with something less than one hundred
millions of dollars. He may conclude
to stop at one-fourth of this sum. For
the good of the country, in more ways
than one, an income tax cannot come
too soon.

4 PROSPEROUS INDICATION,

Banks do not exist except in terri
tories which have money, and where
plenty of business is transacted. North
Dakota with population of 100000;
has $50 state and national banks, or
one bank for every 1900 of its popu-
lation, including men, women and chill
dren. 1t is doubtful if any other state
in the 5 gnien; can produce such a re-
cord.
In many of the Older states the
larger towns are the only money cent
eIs and the farmers are not consid-
cred in the financial standing of a
community.
In North Dakota, however. condi-
tons are otherwise. Towns that in the
older states would hardly support a
country store, have banks with fair
capital and doing good business.
This proves that North Dakota is a
state of generally distributed wealth.
Money must be fairly distributed,
when every $50 families, count
ing five souls to the family, can
support a bank. Such is the truth,
however. The farmers of this state
are realizing immense returns from
the soil, and while much of these prof
its especially in the newer portions
of the state, are put into other addi-
tional land or improvements, the busi-
ness is done through the banks and
they prosper accordingly. Twenty
years ago it would have taken sew
eral times 1900 people to support
bank, and scores of those who are now
able to write their checks in five fig
ures without the least Inconvenience,
were living on twenty per cent money
in the country. Large amounts of capt.
tai have been brought into the state
and invested, but large percentage
of the wealth indicated by the unparal-
leled number OF banks is strictly a
home made brand and is result of
the productiyeness Of the marvellous
soil. "a
