GOO was the average assessment of the
individual taxpayer and says they would
only have to pay about SO cents each to
build that new court house in the Bryn-
jolfson & Laxdal Addition to Cavalier.
Well, that would mean (s7,OOO,OOO di-
vided by $1,000. l,400 taxpayers, which
at Bro. Fairchild's taxation rate of so
cents each would produce the same sum
of seven hundred dollars [s7O9] and
thus for second time he either twill
fully or ignorantly'' try to deceive the
people.
Your sixth grade school boy will say
when he goes over Bro. Fa1rchilds fig
ures that it is evident that he forgot to
point off his product of cents into dollars
and therefore his answers are just one
hundred times too small and that the
taxpayer in order to get somewhat near
the truth must multiply Bro. Farchild's s
statements by 100. And when Bro. r.
says 10 cents he really means ten dol
lars, and where he talks of so cents on
$500 he should have said 100 times as
much or $50.
That is, since one dollar is one hun
dred times one cent, Bro. Fairchild's
paragraph we have quoted should read
as follows
"Granted that new county buildings
would cost $4,000 that would be
less than $40 tax for every $1,000 of VAL
uatlon. and every man in the county
owning property assessed at $4,000
would have to pay an additional tax for
such new county buildings not more
than $50. And who wouldn't be willing
to pay the additional $40 per $1,000 to
have deacent new court house, whether
1t be built in Pembina or Cavalier?"
Well, good people and tax payers,
with these corrections of Brother Fair
chlld's arithmetic, we also ask you the
same questions. Are you willing to pay
$40 per thousand additional taxes to
help boost the price of lots in Brynjolf-
son & Laxdaf's Addition to Cavalier?

Cavalier is trying to make it appear
that the county seat fight is just be-
tween Pembina and itself because it is
"the most centrally located place in the
county which can be easily reached
from all sections of the county etc.
Well, there are several other towns in
the county that are practically just as
central and are ''more easily reached
now than Cavalier = and when the Mid
land railroad is built will be more cent
raj and far more easily reached.

PRETTY FAR BACK.

:"Even the county superintendent of
schools and deputy have been placed in
a small cheap outbuilding to carry on
the important educational work of the
county Cavalier Chronicle. The
differences stranger would make
on tine foregoing description
OF the office of the county superintend-
ent are certainly not very elegant and
scarcely permissible in polite society,
but perhaps Bro. Fairchild hardly rea-
lized how far back his excited condition
was leading him.

Bro. Fairchlld says the court house IN
Pembina stinks so loud that he can
smell it in Cavalier. What a nose?
Makes us think of friend of ours who
was also blessed by nature with the
same sort of elongated proboscis. He
was riding with companion one cold
winter day, who observed that the end
OF Chauncey's nose was getting white
"Chauncy," he said, "your nose is
Frozen" "Can't help it" replied Chaun-
cey, 81 have rubbed it as far out as
can reach" Looks as though Bro.
Fairchild's nose sometimes gets out of
reach too.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1910-03-04

The Chronicle says that Herman
Webber buils the court house for $4,000
and could duplicate it for the same
figure. One of these statements is just
as big ga-mistake-as the other. Penn
bina county paid s15, 600 and interest at
eight per cent for ten years for the orig
inal building and jail. The contract
price for the building alone vas SO 500
and the Jail cells and other fittings made
the total bill el6,5OO of which el5, ,OO0
was borrowed on ten year bonds as stat
ed. During the last fifteen years ad-
ditional buildings and permanent i'm
provements have been added amounting
to at least an equal sum.

THF COUNTY BUILDINGS.

Probably no greater amount of mis-
representation coslid be condensed in
the same space than was made by the
Cavalier Chronicle in it's last issue as to
the condition and value of the court
house. Perhaps in one sense it is the
best Argument possible for leaving the
county seat in its present location, for
such misrepresentation would not have
been made if the people generally were
common visitors at the county build
ings. It rs only because comparatively
few of the taxpayers have seen or visited
the court house for many years that
such stuff could be told with any proha-
bic effect, and thus proves in this indi.
rect but forcible manner that the
location cuts but little figure to tho
average voter as he has 90 seldom any
object in personal attendance.
But because SO few do know, the
Chronicle thinks it possible to deceive
the rest.
That the court house at Pembina is
not all that we OF other taxpayers would
like it to be is true. But undoubtedly
the very same can be said Of ninety-nine
out Of a hundred residences ia this
county. There are but very few farm
ers but what are planning for . finer
residence in the future -but they are
nevertheless living very comfortably in
their present homes and in the majority
|qf cases will probably die in them.
But to follow the style Of description
Of the Chronicle. there is probably not q
house in Pembina county that is ct, to
live in. Faults ip architecture, falts in
size, faults in location, faults in toilet
and bath room conveniences, could be

10 That suggestion of Glasston farmer
that Cavalier might better spend its
$751; ,000 in turning it's surplus water into
the Tongue river. instead of letting it
flow over the farms south of Hamilton
and that vicinity, seems to have made
the Chronicle so mad that it makes the
charge that no mere farmer could write

what do you think about MIR. Farmer?

COMMON SENSE TALK.
St Thomas Times.

St Thomas Times.
Our esteemed friend j. X. Fairchild,
of the Cavalier Chronicle, does not take
kindly to the, TIMES editorial Of two
weeks ago in opposition to removing the
county seat from Pempina and re-locat-
ing it at Cavalier. In an editorial Bro.
Fairchild proceeds to dispose of the
TIMES argument of the theory that the
editor of the Times "is harboring politi
cal aspirations" and that he is no long
er a resident of st. Thomas or Pembina
county, and not in touch with the senti-
ment of the voters. To the first indict-
ment the editor of this paper pleads not
guilty. He is harboring no political as
plrations and desires no political hon ors
The objection he urges against the pro-
posed county seat fight from political
basis, is that such fight would be
dragged int every political contingency
and make uncertain natural results.
Every candidate for either state or
county Office, no matter what his politi-
cal beliefs, would be affected by this
fight, and in the matter of the county
officers the election or defeat of many
candidates would be on the attitude of
the candidate toward Cavalier or Penn
bina. AS to the second indictment that
the editor no longer resides in st. Thom-
as, we plead guilty, but we certainly
know the sentiment of the voters there
pretty we'll, and being taxpayer in the
county have very pertinent aud per-
sonal reason for opposing any scheme
that will increase our already high taxes
for the benefit of the people Of Cavalier.
We know that many people in St. Thom-
as heartily agree with the Times in its
attitude on the county seat fight, and we
further know that few OF the citizens of
st. Thomas can easily forget that the
voters OF Cavalier in years gone by
have shown their feelings toward 81.
Thomas and her citizens by voting
against them whenever an opportunity
presented. The taxpayers of Pembina
county will not vote to burden them
selves with an issue of court house
bonds merely to please the people of
Cavalier and enhance the value of their
residence property. A new court
house, Jail and sheriff's residence that
would satisfy the ambitions Of Cavalier
would cost 100000. The bonds would
probably run for twenty years and the
lowest rate Of interest would be 70, :
Der cent. To retire these bonds and
pay the interest would require an an
uual levy Of 5000 per annum for
twenty years or total Of els1, COO, and
tor what benefit That you Nj. Tax,
