MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
DELINQUENT PERSONAL PROP
ERTY TAXES,

In this issue appears a long list
of delinquent personal taxes, ex-
tending over period Of years in
Bismarck and Burleigh county. 1t
has been compiled from the records
at the court house by committee of
citizens who are interested in the
subject of taxation and who believe
that every citizen should pay the
taxes assessed against his property
if they are just and believe that it
has been and is the duty of county
and city officials to collect these tax
es, or if these taxes are wrongfully
assessed to clear the books and thus
be able to obtain clean score from
the state which now has this county
charged up as delinquent to the ex-
tent of over $4,000.
The publication of this list will
have a beneficial effect if it does
nothing more than stir the present
and future officials to action and pre-
vent a REPETITION of such delinquency.
Another thing. There are doubtless
many errors of assessment in this
list that will be discovered by those
interested who read it.
Where is your tax receipt?
If enormously taxed, and you have
so informed the officials charged
with. the enforcement of the law, why
have not the officials cancelled the
assessment-the same as a prudent
business man would do if he found
that clerk had enormously charged
a customer?
And then there are innocent mis-
takes. Possibly at the time notices
of the assessment were sent out, re-
ceived, mislaid, forgotten. But what
was done about it by officials later,
when the delinquent period arrived?
Was an attempt made to collect the
delinquent taxes? Undoubtedly
some attempt was maze, Dut "neTe
disputes arose were they settled by
those in authority to act? If so,
many who are on this list would not
be there. Many are dead. Probably
some have paid. Where are the re-
ceipts? They will show. Anyhow,
this list, right or wrong, shows neg
ligence. Such a list ought not to
exist. Taxes justly due should have
been paid and those not rightfully
assessed should have been charged
off the bookr. The man who pays
his taxes has a right to complain
it is his proper privilege-if his
neighbor and competitor escapes tax
alton.

make a selection. When DR.. Elliot,
of Harvard, declares that he could
not vote intelligently for more than
four out of forty of the candidates
in a municipal election in his home
city of Cambridge, what can be ex-
pected of the ordinary voter?
The commission plan removes the
basis of intelligence in voting by
limiting the number of officers voted
for to four Or five. On the names
of the candidates to be voted for
for these few offices is concentrated
all the light, all the criticism of the
local election contest. 1t is practi-
cally impossible that the voter
should be uniformed as to their re-
spective merits when he comes to
mark his ballot. He leaves the
booth with an increased respect for
himself in that he has not been led
by the nose by a party organization,
which has heretofore prepared for
him a long list of nominees for
whom it was his "freeman's privi-
lege" to "go it blind"
The commissioners appoint the re-
naming officers for whom the citizen
has hitherto voted. They bring to
the making of such appointments
the high intelligence which has been
recognized in themselves by the vot-
ers who delegated to them the power
and the responsibility.
$50 much taken from the people!"
shouts the demagogue. Not so.
Power which cannot be used intelli-
gently is in fact no power at ALL 1t
is the mere action of an automaton,
whose strings are in the hands of
some one else-in this case usually
the hands of local political bosses,
who have apportioned the offices to
suit all purposes but the good of the
people.
The multitude of the voters want
good government. They have been
fooled into believing that this could
be secured by putting all the Offices
on the ballot. That big ballot has
been in fact, bandage over their
eyes, which has enabled willy dema-
gogues to lead American municipal
government from brier patch to bog,
and from bog to brier patch again,
until it has become, but TO rthe pitt
fulness of it all, the laughing stock
of the civilized world. The "com-
mission plan" will lead it to firm
ground, planted with gardens whose
fruits are universal betterments.

If Judge Winchester of the Bis
marck district follows his present in
clinations and refuses to grant liquor
permits to- druggists under the new
law another 2, constitutional question
will be =. presented g and--settled.
What right has the legislature to
clothe the district judges with duties
not contemplated by the constitu-
ton? Why should a district judge
issue a permit to druggist who,
possibly, will come before him next
month on the charge of violating the
prohibition laws Of the state, and
further may be convicted, thus in a
measure rejecting on the judgment
of the judge who granted the privi-
lege to the druggist? To say the
least the whole arrangement is like
ly to cause great embarrassment and
the district judges will be excused If
they shrink from the duty imposed
upon them without their consent or
liking.

STRONG POINTS OF COMMISSION
SYSTEM,

ST. Paul Dispatch: Probably the
thing OF all others which most com.
mends the Commission PLAN OF
municipal government is the fact
that it makes for intelligent voting.
We cannot get away from the accu-
sation, that, yielding to the pleas of
demagogues for more power to the
people" through the ballot, we have
surrendered our Intelligence in the
use Of the ballot. We have made it
the instrument for passing on the
comparative merits of multitude
of candidates about whom personally
we know nothing whatever. We go
it blind In voting for all but two
Or three, or possibly FIVE, names on
our ticket. How can blind voting be-

SHARP DECLINE IN
 COTTON MARKET Prices Are Weak and un:ettIed
 Nearly All Day BEARS HAMMER STEADILY Liverpool Turns Weak After Being Firm a Long Time and This Has Very Bad Effect Upon the
 American Market.
BEARS HAMMER STEADILY

New York, September 9.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled today with prices selling more than $2 per bale below the high level of yesterday morn- ing and with the close barely steady at a net loss of 22 to 26 points.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 3 to points and while the market met with pretty good support on a scale down. as result of which there were several slight rallies, the general tendency was lower under liquidation and stop loss orders until October contracts sold al SIP .25c and December at 33c with the general list showing a net loss of % to 20 points and with December selling 47 points under the high price of the previous day. Covering checked the decline at this level but the close was within ? or points of the lowest
 The early decline was accounted for by disappointing cables and as strength in the Liverpool market has been one of the main sustaining influence, the weak ness there was followed by a renewal of more aggressive operations by local bears.
 Later the selling movement was accom- panied by reports of free southern offer ings on tenderable basis, and while these reports were not definitely con firmed with New Orleans claiming strength in the interior the declines offl- cially reported In the southern spot mar kets helped the bear argument In this di- rection. Possibly the reduction In the low grade premiums last night had some sem timental influence but the small proportion of low grade cotton in the local stock would seem to make this of comparative ly little importance. A petition Is circulat- ing that the board of managers take some acton with reference to short staple cot ton and suggesting that nothing under sa inch be allowed as tender on contract.
