Change Tax Laws.

County Auditor T. L. Quarles
and Assessor c. A. Bailor left this
week for Boise to attend a COM
mittee meeting of five auditors and
assessors, respectively, the COM
mittees having been appointed at
the state convention of auditors
and assessors to make suggestions
on collecting taxes throughout the
state and present them in a petit
tion 10 the next legislature. I'm
der the present method the assessor
is also the tax collector. 1t is
claimed this method is not only
unusual but works hardship up
on the assessor. 1t is claimed the
committee will recommend that
the treasurer have charge of the
collection Of taxes. 1t is probable
that recommendation will be in
corporated in the petition to the
legislature seeking different time
or times when the taxes may be
paid. AT present all taxes must
be paid prior to January or a
penalty Of 10 per cent is attached.
This is applicable to, taxes that
are assessed by field deputies dur
ing the same year.
1t is claimed the committee will
recommend that real estate be as
sessed by field deputies every two
years instead of annually; that
taxes on real estate be due the
year owing the assessment. and
that personal taxes be left prac-
tically as they are. 1t is also
proposed to make flat exemption
of $500 instead Of on housel old
property alone, as at present.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Features of the Carter Bill in
Congress.
BANKS

Senator Carter of Montana, who
introduced bill In the U. s. senate
during the last session, for postal
savings banks, intends to press action
during the present session, according
to recent dispatch.
ut is thought that the Carter bill,
after being taken up again by the
committee Of postotfices and post
roads, will be altered in some respects,
but will lose none Of its distinctive
features, which are:
Every postoffice authorized to issue
money orders is to be compelled to
accept deposits from the public for
savings. the postmaster general being
empowered to designate such other
offices us he will to do the same.
Depositors must be 10 years Of age
or older; accounts at first must be at
least 81, aud thereafter must be 10
cents or multiples Of 10. Interest at
? per cent will be paid up to $500,
and one account may not be more
than $1,000. Deposits shall not be
subject to garnishment. They shall
be regarded as public moneys and
safeguarded according to existing law
at preferred funds.
The postmaster general shall be
empowered to withdraw the funds
for redeposit IN banks which he shall
designate as repositories.
This provision has been subject OF
general debate, and 1t was opposed BY
the democrats 10 the campaign as of.
ferring opportunity to center tht
funds IN Wall street banks; 1t was
defended on the theory that 1t viii
enable the easy flowing of mone'
from one place to another, according
to varying needs of business. Th
claim is put forward that this is on
of the essentials-the constant utili
zation Uf money according to tn
locality where 1t Is most needed.
K Effort will be made to induce tn
congress to accept the postal measur
this winter. Notwithstanding 1t is tn
short session and the appropriate
bills usually consume the greater pal
| of the sessions time.

Another falsity contained in the

Another falsity contained in the
Occur d'Alene article is that Rath.
drum has but one. bank, and the
assurance held out that Occur d.
Alene was the place for the county
seat because county variants could
be cashed there Is now known to have
been misleading.
There is some speculation as to
whether or not the refusal Of the
Occur d'Alene banks to take county
warrants will have the effect Of plaC.
ing warrants at a discount. Their
action 10 the matter Is attributed to
lack Of funds due to the panic of a
year ago, since which time Occur d.
Alene has not recovered her former
prosperity.

NO SPECIAL ELECTION
Governor Gooding Ignores Judiciary
Amendment.

Amendment.
1t is now claimed that Governor
G0oding refuses to call special
election as provided by the judiciary
amendment adopted at the recent
election. The amendment provides
for abolishing the probate courts and
the present court system and substi-
tuting a superior or county court
system to handle all district court
and probate matters. 1t provided
that the governor call a special elec
tion 10 days after the state board had
canyassed the election returns, to
al the positions of superior Judges
throughout the state. The governor,
under advice of the attorney general,
declines to call the election.
There is some doubt as to the con.
stituti onality Of the amendment on
account of the fact that 1t is contra
dcCory, as 10 one place IL provides
that IL become operative at once
while another provision states that 1t
shall 70 into effect 10 l9l1.
Under this amendment counties
casting 5000 votes for governor would
be entitled to two superior judges.
Both amendments, submitted al
the recent election, are reported t.
have carried, amendment No /, pro
yiding clerical assistance for th'
county assessor by a majority of 6606
and No. 2, changing the judicia
system, by a majority Of 3543.

summerlike weather gave the rust

east of Minot, a longing to visit the
metropolis Of the Northwest. The
roads could not have been. in better
shape, and the trip was made between
the hours of IL a. m. and z p. m.
This will have a tendency to dispel
the idea prevalent in the east that
North Dakota has eleven months win

and if a man is assured of his choice
and of his ability to provide neces-

saw no bonds "a service of love.
Solomon said, "A man will give all
that he hath for love and it shall be
utterly contemned," showing that
love can not be purchased and that
boarding for pleasure is in vain.
Shakespeare said: Let me not TO
