would oppose the proposition that the In

Honest Man Needed.

sponsibility for the discovery and com
plete disclosure of the graft. and further
claim that the only means of securing

performance of his duty except it be of
honest citizenship, and who, wnen graft
and greed shamefuliy disgraces the state,

with the proof in hand so clear that
all honest men are convinced OF the guilt
of many in high places, we demand of
the present administra ton speedy prose-
cution of the accused. both civiily and
criminsliy that the taxpayers may re-
gain their own, that their state be vim
dictated and finally, that no guilty man
may escape"

President smaIPs Statement.

President Small of the Commercial Te-
legraphers' union. said tonight:
We have the situation we'll in hand and
know just where and how we stand We
also know how many telegraph the two
companies have at work and how many
kilograms they are handling by wire.
IF the telegraphing public is willing to
pay telegraph tolls on kilograms that are
being transported by mail that is their
affair.
We are working along the same lines
in the management of this strike, as the
printers did in their eight-hOur day fight
and We intend to stay with it to the fin
ish, just as the printers did"

The Platform.

The platform is devoted entirely to state

Believing this to be the vital ques-

to be led astray by the peTfuuCtOry en-
dcTsemcnt of any candidate for Dresi-
dent i'm 1905. or the deciamatory laudatiOn
of the present incumbent.
we recall with shame and reproba-
ton the official acts in regard to the
building and furnishing of the state cap
itol. of governors, state treasurers, audi
tors general and superintendent of pub
lie grounds and buildings. and with espe-
ciaI notice condemn the conduct of a
representative in congress who. while
dra wing his salary at Washington. was
helping TO loot the treasury at Harris
burg. We suggest that his resignation
would be fitting end Of his career.

FOUR LONG TRAINS OF SETTLERS
ARRIVED IN THIS CITY THIS
MORNING EN- ROUTE TO POINTS

RLED UP.

The spring rush of immigrants is
now fully under way -Four long trains
loaded with prospective settlers bound
for the western part of the state, pass
Ell through Fargo this morning over
the Northern Pacific. Each train car
ried from ten to thirteen cars and all
were packed. The cause of the rush
was the settlers rates which were in
force on all west bound trains out of
the twin cities last night These rates
Lave been in force on every other
Tuesday since the first of March but
on account of the bad weather few
have cared to take advantage of them.
Now that spring has really arrived,
however, prospective settlers are has
tening westward to pick out their lands
and establish their homes or settle on
lands already picked out.
1t was necessary to run both No 3
and No. out Of the twin cities in two
sections last night and even then it
was almost impossible to accommodate
the crowd of westward bound land
seekers. The fiocking OF so many new
settlers to the western part of the

COUNTY WILL APPEAL
Case of Fees for Chief Wade Will Be
Carried to the Supreme
Court.

One action of the county board to-
day was the instruction to the states
attorney to take an appeal from the
decision of Judge Pollock in the case
of Chief of Police Wade. who appealed
from the refusal of the board of coun-
ty commissioners to pay certain. con-
stable fees in criminal cases. Judge
Pollock decided that the chief of po-
lice was entitled to the fees demanded
and from that decision the county
commissioners appeal to the supreme
court
Considerable time of the board today
was given over to the consideration OF
reports of county officers and justice
reports. Warrants were cancelled I'M

devised and arranged for before tho

PEOPLE PAID
THEIR TAXES
THERE WAS NO NECESSITY FOR
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE
RELIEF REGARDING THE Ex-
TENSION OF TIME FOR PAYING
!. TAxEs-s5 PER CENT PAID.

During the agitation about the car
shortage on the various railways last
fall and the alleged congested condi-
ton Of the roads, coupled with the sup
posed inability of the elevators to buy
and dispose of the product of the
farmers, there were a number OF menu
bers in the house of the last legisla-
ture who fell over themselves declar-.
ing the necessity of providing some
means for the suspension of the PEN
alties on delinquent taxes. The propo-
sition was frowned upon. There were
members who said that people were
more scared than hurt and the con-
ditions over the state at large did not
warrant the proposed action. They
held the dabbling with the payment of
taxes was unbusinesslilxe and led to
endless confusion, that where there
were deserving cases and they were
properly brought to the attention of
the authorities there would be ways
out of the difficulty. Despite the OPP
position a Grand Forks member intro
duced H. b. 102, which provided for
the suspension of penalties until July
! this year and the governor was to
issue proclamation instanter the bill
was passed. That bill and others like
1t were sent to the graveyard
From more than one county come in
dications confirming the wisdom and
good judgment of those members who
opposed such a move. In Cass county
there certainly was no necessity for
aiding the farmers. In this county for
the quarter ending March 81, 1906. the
treasurer's books show that SO per
cent of the taxes levied in 1905, and
being paid then, had been collected.
For the corresponding quarter Just
ended. Deputy Mayo of the treasurer's
office, has computed that of the 1906
tax now being paid, fraction over S5
per cent of the taxes has been col
lected, demonstrating that people,
wherever they are. who are paying
taxes, in Cass county, are not very
hard up.
The total collections by the county
treasurer during the month of March
just closed from all sources, amounted
to $334,504, the biggest amount for any
single month in the history of the
county
