Stanton Expects Great Things When
Pontoon Bridge is Completed-The
Business Men Are Building Bridge
Without Assistance From the COun-
ty-Bismarcker to Put in Ferry.

Stanton, May "A number of men
started work this week on the erec-
ton of a pontoon bridge across the
Knife river near the mouth. When
lit is completed Stanton will have as
good and as permanent boat land
ing as any town along the Missouri
river. Tae bridge is being built by
the business men of Stanton. without
any cost whatever to Mercer county.
This shows that the people of our
burg are enterprising and not afraid
to do things. Parties who are in a
position to know say that you can
market your grain in Stanton this
fall.
A representative of this town was
informed this week that ferry boat
will be put in here in the near fu-
ture by a party from Bismarck. An
other boom for Stanton. This will
undoubtedly bring considerable more
trade to our town and make it a
great deal easier for our citizens to
reach the railroad,

COLLECTOR CUNNINGHAM
Investigating Committee Reports That
He Violated the Law.

While three of the five members Of
the Cunningham Investigating Com
mittee reported to the Board Of Alder
men in Richmond Tuesday night that
the Collector deserved to be removed
from office, the committee as a whole
made no recommendation. Its report
was recommitted by the board, with
instructions to the committee to report
by a proper resolution, which might
either be accepted or rejected. The
entire committee signed statement Of
the facts adduced from the evidence,
to the effect that the Collector did not
report license taxes due in June until
the following August; that he had ad-
mitted having held back $1,000 from
April TO September, and that he cashed
time checks for certain friends out of
public funds.
The report further shows that GER
tain license checks, paid in April. were
not turned over to the city until Sep
TENDER, several days after the special
accountant began mis- examination of
the books of the Office, and that dur
ing all the time the money was being
held back the Collector was making
sworn statements weekly to the City
Auditor Of the correctness of his settle
ments. 1t was reported that the city
has not suffered any loss, save the use
of the money, and the interest, amount
ing TO $3.50.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER l6. 1909.

Uniform assessment of lands and
personal property will be one of the
most important matters with which
the Legislature, which convenes ear
ly in January, will have to deal. 1t
is difficult problem and one which
will require much careful considera-
ton. The inequality ,of taxation is
one of the greatest burdens from
which the American people suffer.
Under the present system obtaining
in Virginia lands are necessarily as
sessed with a great lack of uniformi-
ty, but the greatest injustice in tax
assessment comes from the inability
to assess some forms of property at
all, such as stocks, bonds, etc. while
tangible property bears nearly all
the burden of taxation. The great
est boon the Legislature could vouch-
safe the Virginia people, would be
to devise some method of reaching
this hidden wealth. The relief to
the farmers and others who hold
their property in tangible form
would be untold and there is little
doubt but that the tax rate could
be greatly reduced for all purposes.
Gen. Anderson, the present adju-
tant general of Virginia, having
heretofore stated his intention of re-
firing from that office at the end of
his term, it will be encumbent on
Judge Mann toappoint hissuccesSOr.
The Importance Of having as the d.
recting head Of our State militia a
man familiar with military affairs
and with the needs of the militia
can not be too strongly emphasized
and on this account we trust that the
next governor in choosing success
sor to Gen. Anderson will regard
nothing except the fitness of the ap-
plicants for the office in question.
Political considerations should have
no part in the choice and We have
confidence enough in Judge Mann to
believe that no such consideration
will appeal to him in naming the
man for this place. There are sew
eral men, entirely familiar with mil
itary affairs in Virginia, we'll quail
fed for the Office in question, and
from these men we hope to see Gen.
Anderson's successor chosen.
