THE PRIVATE is POORLY PAID
In Comparison With Enlisted Man

1t has been assured that Uncle
Sans soldiers were by far the best
paid in the world, and that belief
has in large part been the cause of
the failure of attempts made in the
past to secure increases in pay for our
own soldiers. But now, in connection
with the systematic preparations that
are being made to lay the subject OF
something wrong with the army" be
fore congress at the next session, 1t
has been discovered that this belief
|! is founded in error and that several
nations are much more liberal in treat
ment of their soldiers than is the
United States.

Board Of Education Decides to.
Build Washington School as ,
Originally Planned.

The city board of education held a
special meeting last might in the Cen
trail high school building-tte session
being called for the purpose of recon-
sidering the action OF a few days since,
when all architectural adornments on
the exterior OF the building were or
dered dispensed with. When the bids
were opened on last Wednesday It
was found that the tenders were sew
eral hundred dollars short of expecta-
lions.
At the session last evening the
board decided to build the. superb
school structure according to the
original plans of Architect Edwards.
and the addition of the cut stone trim
mings and other, minor features will
add materially to the beauty of the
building.
Thescontract as let to Contractors
Melby & Standahl last week, called
for a building to cost $22,645. and If
the committee on grounds and build
ings succeeds in reaching an UNDER
standing with the contractors for the
better and more costly structure, in
the neighborhood of three thousand
dollars will be added to the contract
price.
Contractor Melby stated this morn
ing that the excavation work Is to be
started just as soon as the ground Is
fit for work. f

TRAVELLERS.
THE OLD STAMPING GROUNDS
Two Well known Travellers, F. T. Nc.
Crea and Herb Nnnn, Have Had
Checkered Careers.

F. T. AIcCrea, the we'll known Deere
Weber machine dispenser. went yes
terday to St. Thomas. where he will
start the drills and the discs in their
annual farm task-that of putting in
the crops on his farm. Mr.. McCrea
formerly resided in St. Thomas and
for years was the star sprinter on the
champion hook and ladder team in
the state. In this capacity he particle
pated in many early day tournaments.
Another sprinter of renown, with the
Grafton fire laddies, was Herb W.
Num-. Mr.. Num- went to Neche for the
purpose of selling few car lots of
concentrated George w. Newell &
Co. The latter fire fighter tells of
several famous runs made at fire
tournaments, one especially at Fargo
in preparation for which the sprinters
had trained steadily for several
months. being especially interesting.
The Grafton team was composed of
brawny, fleet footed Apollos, H. ". N.
among the number. and it was conf
dentially expected that they would
take everything in sight. But what
modification and what rage was felt
by the ten seconders when at the vital
moment in the race the hose became
stuck on the reel and the laurels and
serenades which were already tucked
away in their exuberance of imagina-
ton. fell to the ground with a thud.

As HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL
Rest After Many Years Of
Faithful Service Prof.
stebbins New Principal.

After nearly fifteen wears of faithful
service as principal of the Grand
Forks high school, Miss Jennie Allen
will take a respite from her labors
Miss Allen was reelected as principal
of the schools at the annual meeting
some time ago, but unexpectedly last
evening she made application for d
release from her duties and after care
full elaboration by the board, taking
into consideration her fifteen years Of
faithful service, the request was
granted for one years leave of alb
sence, beginning the coming summer.
Professor Stebbins, instructor of ma
thematics and physics for the past
three or four years, was elected as
principal to succeed Miss Allen. The
new head of affairs is one of the
recognized leaders in educational work
in the state, and, in addition, is very
popular, not only with the student
body, but with the citizens in general.
In addition to the high school mat
tiers, the board last evening appointed
two new teachers for the city school
staff. Miss Krehtz. who was granted
a years leave in 1906, sent word. last
evening that she would return in
September.

EAST SIDE DUMPING
GROUND CAUSE
Of TROUBLE
Intake Pipe of Grand Forks
Waterworks is Just Below
the Place.

There is considerable adverse criti-
cism going around concerning the To-
cation of the East Grand Forks Dump
ing grounds. with reference to it's
proximity to the intake pipe of the
Grand Forks waterworks.
1t is stated, and the facts seem to
warrant the statements, that putrid
carcasses and semi-decomposed
animal and mineral matter are lying
heterogeneously scattered along the
river bank one mile south of town
with the seepage and gangrenous ex-
tracts created by rain . and surface
water over and through them running
into the river, thence down to the
intake pipe of the city water works.
Said prominent man of the city
this morning. "Now 1 do, not want
to appear as sourball who thinks
he knows it all but it strikes me as
strange that people will let such a
state of affair exist when they know
that the poisonous fluids and toxins
from refuse matter, dead horses,
COWS, dogs and chickens are being
given off into the river.
"Why, just imagine the conditions
after the Sinclair fire across the
river when nearly eleven semi-cre-
mated carcasses of horses were towed
to the dumping grounds. there to rot
and give off their nauseous and filthy
excretions. Just stretch the magma
ton a little and picture the putrefac-
ton which is even now going on in
that dump grounds just above the city
water main. None Of it for me. When
am drinking water don't want
stuff that maggots have been running
around in when in solid FORM ,

MAXIMUM RATE TO.
Be MINIMUM
UNDER Law
Railroad Rate in Minnesota
Will Have Many and vari-
Gus Results.

a rush of travellers is slated for
East Grand Forks tomorrow when
the new 2Scent railroad rate goes in
to. effect in Minnesota. According to
instructions received in this city, per-
sons buying tickets in Grand Forks
for Minnesota and other out of the
state points, will be charged the full
Scent fare as it is stated that no in
dividual state can interfere with in
ter-state commerce which. under the
federal statutes is three cents mile.
The result of the above orders are
very evident. Persons from interior
points in the state will have to buy
tickets for Grand Forks. pay cash for
the half mile fare across the river,
and then hold the train while all go
out and purchase new tickets under
the Minnesota tariff.
With this system the roads intend
to show the travelling public that
absolutely nothing will be gained
from the meddling with the rates.
The maximum law will be the mini
mum rate" said Great Northern man
this morning. This seems that as
soon as the North Dakota 2 Lucent
rate goes into effect no more mileage
book at a 2-cent rate will be sold,
no more home seekers rates will be
in effect and no more excursions will
be run. On the whole it begins to
locke as though the new tariff will
result in an increased revenue to the
roads

20 Would the Gift"
NY ah~at4~ clrkNN


Everybody who can muster "a smile
is doing it at the expense of the Grand
Forks Press just now. After the Press
and Herald published the Hansbrough
sensation the senator wrote each of
those papers, denying the report that
he was anti-Roosevelt, and referring
those papers directly to the president.
The Herald man was shrewd enough to
see that Hansbrough was setting trap
for him. and refused to bite, but the
Press man, in his adolescent impuls-
iveness, snapped the bait like pick
erel and wrote the president con-
fidential letter, inquiring into the
standing of Hansbrough at the White
House. Monday the Press received a
letter from the presidents private Sec
rotary, William Loeb. and the nature
of the letter many be inferred from
the fact that the Press has refused to
give it publicity, as he promised to do
when he braggingly accepted the sena-
tors challenge. Yes. it is time for the
Press man to go to the bench for the
season.

TAXATION WRONGS.

One of the crying needs of reform
in this state is in the method of list
ing property for taxation purposes
and the consequent evils which come
from the same. Aside from the de-
fects of the methods of equalization
in vogue in this state, the greatest
disadvantage from an advertising
standpoint is the plan of listing prop
erty far below what it is worth. This
is not the intention of the present
law, but the variation has become al
most law by custom.
So long as property is listed at
uniform value, no injustice will be
done any taxpayer if his property is
listed at only half its value. He
pays, Of course, on the same basis as
all other citizens. The science of
taxation is the equalization of the
property of every taxpayer. So long
as these are all subject to the same
system of equalization every one will
bear his equitable share of the pub
lie expense and will not be injured.
The rub comes in the difference in
the valuation in the several assess
ment divisions in the state If the
valuation is not the same in the sew
eral townships of the county, those
having the highest valuation will con-
tribute more than their just share to
the expenses of the county. 1t is
true that the methods of comparing
: conditions before the assessors begin
their work secures fairly equal val
uation for the county. But adjusting
the valuation throughout the state
makes it more difficult
Aside from all this, however, the
listing of property at less than its
actual value works a serious injury
to the state. If the valuation is low,
the rate Of taxation must be high.
In other words, if the property valu-
alton is fifty per cent of the actual
value, the rate must necessarily be
twice as high as it would be if the
property We're listed at its par value.
Strangers coming into the state to en-
gage in business naturally inquire
about the taxes and they are always
fixed by the rate, and it is difficult
to explain to them that property is
assessed at low value when the
law requires it to be assessed at par.
When informed of the high rate
which prevails in many parts of the
state, these strangers conclude that
we are tax ridden and often decide
to locate elsewhere.
II, as is sometimes claimed, the
corporate property is not assessed
sufficiently high to justify raising the
other property of the state to its
actual worth, the error should be
remedied and the property which is
assessed by the state board should be
made to bear its just proportion. The
commission which was created by the
late legislature, consisting of the gov
ernor, the acknowledgement and
the speaker OF the house, was intend
ed to provide for the equitable taxa
lion of the corporate property of the
state, and once this is determined,
the other will readily follow.

1T WAS LOADED.

The position in which the Evening
Press finds itself when it discovered
that it had taken hold of the hot end
of the poker in the controversy over
the alleged news story concerning the
rich mems dinner anti-Roosevelt plot
and Senator Hansbrough, would be
interesting We're it not ridiculous.
The Press has discovered that trans
planting Heartism even in the demo-
cratic political gardens of North Da-
kota, is difficult proposition. 1t
finds, moreover, that creditable DEM
ocratic papers like the Bathgate Pink
Paper and the Devils Lake Journal,
emphatically refuse to follow its gas
inflated policies.
The following is the proposition of
Senator Hansbrough to the Evening
Press, as published in that sheet:>
My purr6se in writing this letter
to you is to request that you COM
municate with President Roosevelt
at once and ask him concerning my
attitude toward him and his policies.
justifies the alleged Washington tele-
gram published in your paper con-
corning the rich mans dinner" 1 will
Immediately place my resignation in
the hands of Governor Burke, so that
no mo tn{
successor.
After several paragraphs of wan
behring's, the Press editor in his letter
to the president said:v
Senator Hansbrough asked us to
write you in regard to his relations
to you.
This letter was written on April
Is.
The Evening Times waited a rea-
sonable time for the Press to publish
the presidents reply, and when it
failed to do and attempted to have
the public forget it, the Evening
Times procured copy of the letter
and published the same last Satur-
day. The presidents reply was dated
April Is, and had not been published
by the Press on April q. Allowing
the same difference as between the
letter from the Press editor and the
presidents reply-three days-that
letter had been in the possession of
the Press for practically week be-
fore the copy was procured and pub
lished by the Evening Times. The
reading of the letter tells why. It
is as follows:
My Dear Sir: The president d.
reefs me to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 18th instant and
to say that Senator Hansbrough has
consistently supported the president
and his policies, and has been one of
the men in the senate upon whom the
president has been able to count.
Sincerely yours,
VIM. Loeb, Jr.
The reading of the three quotations
cited above will show that the Even
ing Press was the most thoroughly
Inundated and discounted organ
that ever attempted to play politics. 1
In an attempt to justify its silly ac-
ton the Press says it allowed the
Evening Times to take the course it
did in making the Press ridiculous
in order to prove that the Evening
Times and the president had entered
into a combination to make the Press
appear absurd. That is about the
silliest piece of pretended journalism
the country has ever seen.
