THE TARIFF IN 1896 AND 1900.

y Commoner reader directs attention
to the fact that the New York World
charges that the democratic platforms
in 1896 and 1900 lodged the tariff ques-
ton. The World has often made this
charge although its error has, as often,
been pointed out.
The Chicago platform said: "We hold
that tariff duties should be levied for
the purpose of revenue, such duties to
be so adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country, and not dis
eliminate between classes or sections,
and that taxation should be limited by
the needs of the government, honestly
and economically administered" The
Chicago platform denounced the pro-
position of the republicans to restore
the Mckinley law, and declared that
that law ''enacted under the false plea
of protection to home industry, proved
a prolific breeder of trusts and mon
opolies, enriched the few at the expense
of the many, restricted trade and de-
prived the producers of the great
American staples, of access to their
natural markets." Not only did the
platform of 1900 condemn the Dingley
tariff law as trust-breeding measure,
skilfully devised to give the few favors
which they did not deserve and to place
upon the many burdens which they

The United States government has
purchased and shipped to Norfolk,
Virginia, a machine of German manufac-
ture for the making of Ignite briquets.
The coal is Stacked or crushed and then
mixed with a restraining solution COM
posed mostly of tar, and pressed into
bricks under a heavy hydraulic pressure
These bricks are said to be excellent
fuel, equal to the best grades of coal
and yet cheaper if made where the coal
is mined. This machine may be of great
value to this state and to Texas, which
are the two states producing most if not
all of the Ignite coal in the country.

MENTION has been made of w. E.
Purcell as a democratic candidate for
United States senator. He is asplendid
man, a statesman of great ability, and
could easily beat any man in the re-
publican party. The democrats have a
number of men who would represent
North Dakota most creditably: Purcell
Of Wahpeton, Benton, of Fargo, or Gov.
Burke all tower above any man thus far
suggested by the Notwithstanding
or insurgent.

In order that st. Paul's splendid Au-
ditorium, built at a cost of $45O,OOO, may
be kept open for the inspection of visi-
tors during the week of Sept. 2, st. Paul
musicians have arranged a series of fall
festival concerts in which orchestra
band, a trained chorus of 600 voices, a
supplementary childrens chorus of 1000
voices and a dozen soloists of national
repute will appear. Innes band is con
sldered one of the finest organizations
of it's kind in the United States and is
now rehearsing special music for the st
Paul appearance. The chorus of 600
and the children's chorus are also re-
hearsing. The former will be the finest
organization Of it's kind which has aver
sung in the Twin Cities.

The gang papers are laying great
stress on the fact that after Gov. Burke's
speeches last fall the railroads we're not
assessed any higher this year than last.
They entirely ignore the fact that four
out of the five members of the board of
equalization are the same gang that
made the assessment last year, so what
other result could be expected. They
know the facts as we'll as anybody, but
they would like to make capital of it so
to defeat the governor if he should be
a candidate for another term.

A NEW corporation to be known as the
international Paper Co., with a capital
stock of sl1S,O0,O00 has just been
organized and will take over all the
paper mills in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. 1t is claimed the Standard
Oil Company is behind the concern. If
this company a raise prices any faster
than the trust now in control of the
paper output it will be a wonder. For
months newspaper men have not been
able to buy print or commercial pape r
from catalogues and know what price
they were to pay, Prices have been
advanced steadily and sometimes IN
steadily, but always advanced, for the
past three or four years, until paper is
now about 100 per cent more costly than
then. If this keeps on newspapers will
either have to discontinue publication
or raise the price of subscription.

The attorney general of the state

The attorney general of the state has
at last plucked up courage enough to go
after the railroads of the state for their
failure to comply with the laws of the
state in regard to the new $4,000 mileage
book and the maximum coal rate on lig-
mite. The latter law has been on the
statute books for some time, but this is
the first attempt made to enforce it.
Nothing like having a man in the COVER
nor's chair who insists that laws must
be enforced.

A SINGLE session of the legislature of
any state in the Union can beat the
record of the British parliment which is
reported as having only enacted forty
six new laws in the past five years. Why,
last winter North Dakota enacted not
less than two hundred new laws and
that only represented half of the
measures introduced by our law making
statesmen.

REGARDING DISTRICT SCHOOL FUNDS.

1t is evident that many school treas
urers are unaware of the provisions of
law regarding the deposit of district
school funds. The law, as enacted by
the ninth legislative assembly, provides
that all school funds, shall as soon as
received by the treasurer be deposited,
in the name of the school district, in
such bank or banks as may be designat-
ed by the school board. The law fur
ther provides that whenever the amount
of school funds exceed the sum of $500
they must be deposited in accordance
with Sec. 935, of the Revised Codes, as
amended by the tenth legislative as
sembly. This and succeeding sections
require that bids shall be advertised for
and such funds deposited in accordance
with the bids.
The intention of the law is that the
school district shall receive the benefit
of interest on its public funds and that
it shall have such added security as is
provided by bonds given by the bank in
which the deposit is made. This law
was enacted to be- carried into etfectjust
as much as any other law on the statute
books: and any school board or school
treasurer who fails to obey it is not only
committing a misdemeanor, under the
law, but is depriving the tax payers of
his district of the compensation derived
from the interest received, and also from
additional security.
