Weekly journal-miner., 1909-03-31

The Journal Miner is inclined to be- lieve that the Republican is in error as to the tax being one per cent. The writer distinctly remembers that the bill was amended in the house, making the percentage two per cent, at the request of Hall of Yavapai, who point ed out that upon one per cent basis th.s county would receive less than half the customary amount of taxes from the telephone company. Wheth- CT this amendment was accepted by the council is not known at this time. Regardless of the percentage, the fact remains that the city of Prescott will lose the usual taxes from the telephone company unless the law be found to be unconstitutional The peculiar part of the matter is that the bill was drawn by O'Neill, who is a lawyer and should have had knowledge sufficient to en- able him to perceive that the measure contained a joker. But, perhaps. O'Ne;ll was playing two strings-pos- ing as a friend of the people on one hand an on the other was really turning friendly trick for the tele- phone. telegraph and express compa- nies. Viewed from any angle, the thing looks suspicious.

The Forum Must Show Us

The Fargo Forum takes the Indepen.
dent to task for claiming the largest
circulation of any weekly paper in the
state. The Forum however, practical
ly comedies that the Independent next
to the Forum has the larrest weekly
circulation in the state. This is quite
a concession, for the Forum is an old
we'll established paper and naturally
should have very large circulation.
However, we will have to be shown
that the Forums circulation is really
larger than that Of the Independent
before we will believe it. We say this
in all due courtesy to one Of the very
hest papers that is printed anywhere
Tho Forum. The Independent IS
more than proud of its circulation
hnd we are we'll pleased with the
The Ward County independent., 1909-01-07

manner which it is still growing.
The Forums article follows:
1t may be entirely unintentional,
but The Minot Independent is print
ing an entirely erroneous statement
across the top of it's front page. It
says: 'The Independent has the
largest circulation Of any weekly pa
per in the state of North Dakota I
Elsewhere the editor claims a circu-
lation Of $500 copies. The Weekly
Forum has much larger circulation
than the figures quoted Editor Col
cord probably means that he has the
largest circulation of any weekly that
doesn't publish daily, too-or that
he claims the largest weekly circula-
ton of any weekly except The Forum.
