Stanley Sun: Raising the apA
praisement and lowering the levy in
North Dakota would be a benefit says
Mr., George E. Geier, prominent and
well known farmer living near here
In the following communication to
the Sun this week Mr.. Geier says:
'.The plan Of raising the appraise-
ment of all real estate and personal
property In North Dakota would un-
doubtedly meet with very little oppo-
sition, as it would be a benefit to all
people who have to borrow money.
Let the appraisement be raised three
fourths more; then cut down the levy
fhree-fourths, which will give tax
OF one dollar, instead of four, as it is
at the present time, and then money
would come in to North Dakota as.
freely as it does in eastern states
where the taxes are low When a
man has money to loan he will 20
where he can find the lowest taxes.
How can man loan his money at
5 TO 6 per cent when he has to pay
four cents on the dollar? I hear some
people say. 'sthe bankers are robbers
in the west" No This is not SO.
He simply makes you pay the extra
three dollars for him or he will leave
his money in the eastern states where
the tax is not SO high. Now. this is
the only way to secure cheap money
IN the west. We are entitled to
money at 5 to per cent. We have
Just as good security, and the people
have just right to an exemption on
their taxes TO the amount on their
loan up to one thousand dollars.
There is nothing fair about the
mortgage paying tax upon his
debts. Let the party pay the taxes
on the loan he made as he by right
and law owns that much of that prop
erty. This has been the law in the
state of Indiana during the past fifteen
years and it has proved financial
success at every mark in the road
OF course we cannot expect law like
this right away, but now that the
legislature is in session some effort
could be made to law like this being
put into effect

The IhaW trial in New York City is
of general interest, and assumes some
thing OF local interest by the presence
on the jury Of Wilbur F. Steele, stated
IN the New York papers to be manu-
tacturer of gas plants. This is Wilbur
r Steele who founded the town of
Steele in Kidder county, in partnership
with M. H. Jewell of the Bismarck
Tribune. Steele came to the territory of
Dakota in the later seventies from Mil
Wsaukee, where he had become &C,
squainted and friendly with the men in
terested IN the Northern Pacific. 1t was
at the time big farms were being opened
up in the territory and he started farm
ing at Steele. In 1880 the townsite of
Steele was laid out and a prospective
metropolis was founded. Steele was al
ways prominent in territorial politics and
at the time OF the removal Of the capitol
Steele was an applicant for the perman
ent location Of the seat of government.
and Steele put up a certified check for
$1,000 to insure the carrying out of the
obligations of the city in case the loca-
ton should be made After leaving
Steele, its founder went to Chicago
where he fell in with Yerkes, the street.
car magnate, and invented system of
gas heating for streetcars that promised
fortune and proved a disapp ointment
through the introduction of electricity:
From Chicago Steele went to New York,
where he is now located, prosperous
and with a busy and interesting life in
retrospect It was reported that an ~
lection might be made to him as a trial
JUROR, because at one time he, had rep
resented some realty interests of the
FhaW family in the northwest, but he
appears to have been satisfactory and
to- have remained as trial Juror in the
cas-. All Of which proves that you
will usually find a North Dakotan rather
closely connected with events, wherever
they may happen.

one bill has so far passed both houses
and become a law. With the reconven-
ing of the legislature Thursday, there
will begin the customary process of
elimination; the committees will set at
work to weed out and dispose Of a
number of bills that it is agreed have.
no chance or excuse for passage, and
the more important matters will be put
to the fore. None Of the appropriation
bills has yet been reported, and it is
likely that the senate appropriation COM
mlttee will report back its recommended
lions soon after the session reconvenes.
From the size and number Of the re-
quests made for funds it is apparent the
committee will have to give serious con-
slderation as well to the probable reve-
nues OF the state as to the needs of the
institutions. North Dakota is charging
and equipping its institutions and pro-
vidlng for the increased demands, due
to the great growth and progress of the
state, from the current revenues and
without adding to the state debt. To do
this and at the same time to provide for
current expenses and fixed charges is
a task that requires a careful study of
financial conditions and nice adjust
rnent of expenditures to revenues. In
addition to the important matter of ap-
preparations, there are number of other
matters yet to be disposed Of that will
require much care to reach satisfactory
and Just conclusion. The matter of pri-
mary election is not one upon which
there is yet any agreement. Several bills
have been presented hut neither house
has taken any action which would indi-
cate that it had reached a conclusion.
The Sharpe bill Senate Bill No. lis
yet in the senate elections committee,
and probably represents the sentiment
OF those members who desire complete
direct primary law, covering all Offices,
and at the same time retaining political
party organizations Some favor has
been found in the house for the White
bill, providing for nominations by con-
ventions and referendum to the people,
but the charge by some Of the more rad
zeal supporters Of primary election that
the retention Of any form of the conven-
ton is in violation Of the party pledge
tor direct primary, is making some of
those who were inclined to favor the
White bill rather lukewarm. Irrespec-
tive Of the demands of extremists, it
seems to the Tribune that the members
OF the two houses can afford to give
both these bills careful consideration,
and not condemn either until some evil
is more apparent than from simple fear
that measure may not be extreme
enough It may be there is more virtue
in moderation than in radicalism at any
rate the subject is important enough to
warrant careful study III

ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE.

1t is not more than generation ago
that man took his daily allowance Of
brandy or whisky, not for the pleas
ure Of the beverage alone, but for the
welfare of his inner man. Every en-
terprising employer dispensed a modi-
cum of grog to his men, not for their
health, but to increase their efficiency
But today a man who desires q high
ball would hardly have the temerity to
test any ones credulity by offering as
an excuse that he INDUCED for his
health or to- promise his efficiency.
Certain notable literary productions
have been created under the stimuIat-
ing influence Of John Barleycorn, but
these We're the works of genius, which
must be let out of general considera-
ton. For the enforcement Of the idea
that alcoholic beverage do not pro
mote health. but tend to iniure 1t, we
are to some extent Indebted to tenn
perance societies, but not SO much ito
them as we are to life insurance com
panies, which place monetary pre-
MUM on abstinence, and second, the
teaching of medical men and physio-
logists, says the New York Tribune. ID
But while there Is no longer any
question that alcohol is purely poi
son when used as a beverage by
healthy persons, many physicians con-
sidered 1T drug Of wide usefulness in
disease until decade ago. Perhaps
no statement Of facts could be more
forceful in showing the change in
medical opinion than a comparison OF
the sums Of money expended by the
+ London hospital for alcohol and milk.
Forty years ago, according to Sir vic
tor [t' Horsley. M. d, the expenditure for
alcohol in that hospital was about $40
GOO year, and the expenditure for
milk in the same period was about
$15, 900. At the present time the an
nual expenditure for alcohol is $l5,Ooo.t
and the milk account exceeds $40. 600.
These figures represent nearly the
change in medical opinion regarding
the relative value Of milk and alcohol.
It was only few years ago that ply
sicians advised moderate quantities OF
whisky for those suffering from tuber-
culois. but more careful study has pro-
duced q change Of sentiment that was
voiced by one Of the speakers at the
American International Congress on
Tuberculosis, whose latest session was
held in this city during the current
week, when he said he considered Ill
cohol poison particularly yirulent to
sufferers from this disease.
