Mimic Journal: Senator McCumber

Mimic Journal: Senator McCumber
is North Dakota's ablest statesman,
beyond doubt. More than that, during
his term of Office ha has so mastered
the game that he stands in the front
rank with the ablest legislators in
the U. S. senate. The only criticism
of his official acts are that he voted
for the tariff, which though it did
not suit him altogether, he considered
the best that could be had, and stayeN
with the majority of the administra.
ton in support of certain principles
ard measures which a good many of
his constituents do not agree with.

Ryder News: The faithful and ef-
ficient work of Congressman Hanna
and Senator McCumber in securing
the opening of the Berthold reserva-
ton has made them many friends in
this section of the state. We have no
people here who do not appreciate this
and they will get a sound vote in this
part of the state; but let us make a
record for ourselves by giving them
every vote at least in Ryder and Plaza.
1t would be something to be proud of
if we could do this. 1t would show
and advertise to the state that Plaza
and Ryder had men who stood solid
and to a man. Nothing would make
our town better known and talked
of, if we could show our appreciation
by casting a united vote. No member
OF congress has done or will have a
chance to do so much for this vicinity,
as Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. McCumber have
done by getting the reservation bill
through. Let us show our apprecia-
ton.

WHAT OTHER
PAPERS SAY

Tolna Tribune: Congressman Han.
ma, says, and we believe him, that he
has tried hard to care for the inter.
ests of the people of this state during
the year he has been in congress. His
long residence in the state has given
him a knowledge of the needs of the
people and he has the ability that gets
results. At the present time he is a
member of the agricultural committee
which gives him a chance to do much
for North Dakota. 1t would be a sad
mistake not to re-elect him but 1t
seems that the sentiment is strong
that he should be reelected.
Barlow Enterprise: North Dakota
farmers will endorse Senator McCum.
Der and Congressman Hanna. Both
r good men and loyal to the inter
ests of the state. Both are republi.
cans, who stand by and support the
national administration. Both are
men of standing in the national con-
gress. Both believe in the perpetual
ton of the republican policies under
which this country has %prospered
amazingly.

Body Found IN
Platte River
is Identified
F. ]. Coates of Waterloo, Neb., Iden-
titles Corpse as that of His
Father-in-Law.

CENTRAL CITY, May Si.-(Specal.)-
Through reading an account of the find
ing of the body in the Platte river here
last Wednesday f. j. Coates OF Waterloo,
Neb, has made Investigations which he
believes establishes beyond a doubt that
the body is that OF his father-in-law,
Anderson, who disappeared from Douglas,
Wyo., March 90 Andersons home was at
Modale, Ia, where he had q wife living,
but he left her a few months ago and went
to work in Wyoming herding sheep. He
was about co yeas of age and was partly
demented. He took poison a few months
ago in fruitless attempt to end his life
and the supposition now is that he walked
out on the ice of the North Platte near
Douglas and shot himself through the
head and that his body floated down when
the ice broke up. A large scar from Il
carbuncle on the leg, a crosscut on the arm,
the make of the clothes and shoes and the
comb and knife found in the pockets
enabled Coates to positively identify the
man as his father-in-law. There could
have been little motive for murder as the
man presumably had no money and the
position of the wounds on the head indicate
that he himself held the gun which caused
his death.

WHITE, ADVOCATES TAX
ON VACANT PROPERTY
Chicago Lecturer Says Country's Sys-
tenn of Taxation is Driving

There is more profit in square-toed bust

weekly luncheon on Taxation AMI Bust
ness Building" I'm the old days piracy
on the high seas was profitable, but now
legitimate commerce is more profitable. So
1t is with every business"
In speaking of taxation, Mr. White con-
tended that 1t was detrimental to the bust
ness interests of the United states to tax
buildings. He advocated taxing vacant
property.
when you tax buildings you are taxing
industry. And when you tax industry YOU
are encouraging those interested in the in
dustry to look for a place whore they will
not be taxed. 1t does not encourage prog
ress to tax industries.
Some of the principal cities Of Canada
have taken the taxes off the buildings. and
the result is that American people arc

STONE men TO
AID GOOD ROADS
PETITION OF QUARRYMEN FOR
REDUCED RATES WELL RE-
cEIvED BY OFFICIALS.

Marshalltown, Feb. -(SpeciaD-
The petition of the Iowa State Quar-
rymen's association for a lower rate
on broken stone to be used only in
making good roads means much to the
movement in this state. Should the
commission grant the rate of 70 per
cent of the present rate it will mean
that roads can be built just that much
cheaper in Iowa. The action Of the
Quarrymen's association in making
this request is taken by the good
roads enthusiasts as an indication
that this association stands ready to
join hands with other organized bodies
in Iowa for better roads. The officers
of the association have Indicated their
willingness to cooperate in the work
of outlining plans for good roads and
it is believed when the convention IS
called at Des Moines next March that
every organized body, with the eXcep-
tion of churches and lodges, will be
represented at the meeting. Governor
Carroll has already pledged the power
and authority of his Office to the sup
I>port of the movement and with the in
structions of Attorney General Byers
to county attorneys and the co-opera-
tion of the other departments of the
state the movement has the backing
of every state official.
