TWIN CITY MEN SEE GRAIN.
Make Automobile Trip Into North Da.
kota

Crop reports have driven many Of
the Twin City elevator and grain men
to make trips into this state. A party
of Minneapolis grain men arrived in
Minot recently in big fifty-horse pow
er auto to look over the crop situation.
In the party are S. S. Cargill, S. S.
Cargill, Jr.. A. E. Benedict and c. L..
Sawyer. The trip from Minneapolis
was made in an auto, the party start
ing Aug. 20.
Farmers of North Dakota are now
hoping for dry weather SO that the
crops may be harvested and threshed.
In every part of the state harvesting
is general, but weather conditions
must be favorable during the next
week or ten days so as to allow the
farmers to finish up the work as rap.
idly as possible.
The fear of wet fall Is quite gen.
eral. A wet season would mean a big
loss to the farmers, in that 1t would
result in lowering the grade Of the
grain, and besides would delay opera
lions to such an extent that 1t might
be impossible to get some Of the grain
off the ground before it gets too ripe.

The last contest recently was decided

Washington, however. and the girl
was required to live fourteen months
longer upon the land. Hanson mag

it and cut hay for his personal use.
This caused the girls brother to make

Is Maelaren, the we'll known lake or
sea. disappearing? A writer in The
Svenska Folket, who has lived on it's
shores for twenty-five years. says
that the water level has continually
declined and that what were parts of
the lake fifty years ago are now
meadows. A historical Investigator
says that for over 200 years this lake
has been disappearing.
Last week | mentioned incidentally,
by way OF illustrating the unusual in
dustrial activity in Sweden at the
present time, the organization of sew
eral large corporations, the largest of
which is the sugar trust. This con-
Germ. 1t seems. is sure to mark an
epoch in Swedish history. for it will
furnish the socialists with stronger
argument than they have hitherto
been blessed with. The sugar trust
comprises all the refineries in the
country and is backed by a capital OF
135.OOO,0O0 crowns, or about $4,000
600. AS the tariff on sugar is so high
as to make importation of this neces-
sity an impossibility, the combination
will have the, consumers of sugar ut
its mercy. The socialists will argue
that the only remedy is for the state
to take over the sugar industry. and
it is certain that this proposition will
take among the people and result in
the election OF large number OF
a large number of socialist candidates
for membership in the rikstag.
A Stockholm correspondent gives
the following succinct account of the
financial outlook in Sweden at the
present time:
THE crop outlook has been exceed
insly good and we might have had ex-
pected a record harvest in every re-
spect, but the continuous rain during
rious. and the cold nights have con-
tributed to the result. At the present
| moment the sun shines again. but I'M
less it continues to do so for a consid-
cradle period we shall see a crop be-
| low the medium or worse. which
means a difference of about two hum
dred million kroner to the Swedish
nation. The financial situation is at
| present not by any means dangerous.
but money is scarce here as else
where, and if the crop should be bad
the scarcity will be still worse, and
then it is best to be prepared. The
great rise in everything. which in
some cases has been overdone and in
some cases unwarranted. must be fol-
lowed by a reaction natural in any
case, but sure to take place as soon
as the scarcity of money is felt

TAX LEGISLATION NEXT.
Time Not Vet Ripe for Statewide As
sessment at Real Value.

Time NOT vet Htpe TOR statewide As
sessment at Real Value.
The next legislature will probably
be called upon for tax legislation If
the movement for the assessment of
all classes Of property at real value is
to be carried on. A step in this direc-
ton was taken this year, but it failed
for the reason that present laws will
not permit an assessment to be made
on that basis.
The 1-mill tax for educational insti
tutions is fixed tax and was author.
lied for the purpose of raising funds
for the maintenance of these institu.
tons outside of the general fund tax,
which, on the low valuation of the
property, would not produce revenue
enough to run the state and the insti-
tutions, and as the tax was limited to
mills it was necessary to find an
other way to raise additional funds to
defray expenses. The constitutional.
ty Of this mill tax has been question.
ed, although not in court, and it has
been paid without any legal protest.
If all effort had been made, however
to levy this mill tax on largely in
creased valuation the matter would
probably have been taken into court.
This tax could be repealed If the val
uation of property were made suffi.
GENTLY high to produce this included
amount of revenue through the 4-mill
tax for general purposes.
Another law that will have to be
changed fixes the salaries of county
officers. Salaries are based upon the
assessed valuation, and if they We're
largely increased at once, it woull II.
suit in much inequality. These sal.
aries could be based on the amount
of tax levied in the counties.
Then laws are needed to ascertain
the value of corporate utility proper.
tyy, such as telegraph lines, telephone
lines, railroads, express companies
and similar enterprises. The present
knowledge of the value and income
producing properties of these utilities
is limited.
The legislature may also be asked
for tax commission to devise ways
and means of getting all classes Of
property on the rolls.
