ton wide campaign to win converts to
the plan.
The congressman has begun the dis
tribution of 100000 circular letters
outlining his proposed bill, which he Is
sending particularly to constituents OF
members of congress who openly are
opposed to old age pensions in this
country. In this way he hopes to
arouse favorable sentiment from which
members of congress will hear in due
time.
After describing the provisions and
results of the old age pension systems
in vogue in Germany, England, Den
mark. New Zealand, Belgium, Italy
France. Australia, and Canada, the let
ter say:
II believe this plan will prove an
economical one: that it Win cost the
taxpayer of America less to pension
all worthy men and women over 60
wears of age who are in need
than to maintain them in poor
houses and charitable institutions, and
t seems as if q higher standard of
morality and plano of civilization
would result.
Dread of poverty in old age would
| ne removed forever from the minds of
millions, and many incentives to dis
honesty in young and middle life. so
,owerful under the modern strain,

T. rived from a graduated income and in

Northup Says city's Move in Gas Case
Will Be to See Company's Books.
According to City Solicitor F. E.
Northup the next move of the city in
the legal controversy for cheaper gas
rates will be to secure an order of the
federal court directing the MARSHALL
town Light, Power and Railway Com
pany to produce it's books in court.
When this would be done, however,
if at all, Mr.. Northup was unable to
say. Mr.. Northup said that there would
be no need of the city seeking the or
der until it had its expert accountants
ready to make the investigation. AS
these experts cost money, and the city
did not have the money to spend just
now, he was unable to say anything
about when such an action might be
expected.
The city has made an answer and
filed a demurrer in the case brought
by the gas company in the federal
court, and the case now rests where it
has been for some time.

not to exceed forty acres for water
tank and not to exceed 100 acres for
a gravel bed, and neither Of these two
could be closer together than ten
miles. The provision also permitted
the secretary to sell to railroad COM
panies desiring it strip not exceed
ing 10 feet wide along the track,
for the purpose Of planting trees that
might grow up and be used in place
of the old time board snow break.
Now it was found when they came
to make application that they were
restricted to reservation Indian lands,
perhaps Inadvertently. It did not ex-
tend to lands allotted to individual In
dams, patents to which are held in
trust by the United States for twenty
five years. The main object of this act
is to extend provisions to these Indian
lands already allotted.
"The particular reason that has
brought forth this amendment is that
in western Minnesota, the, Dakotas,
and Montana, railroad companies have
decided to inaugurate a new plan and
policy to secure protection from snow.
The old board fences were ineffective
in many cases, expensive and Of short
life. They propose now in their place
to plant trees along the trach. When
these trees grow up they will be more
effective as a snowbreak. In one sense
1t is along the line of conservation, for
if carried out, 1t will save the use Of
timber. Furthermore, these trees grow
ing up will be in the nature of refor-
estration of this western part of Min
nesota, the Dakotas and Montana and
very great improvement from every
point Of view. 1t seems to me there
fore that this bill should be enacted

AN INSTITUTION
TO Be PROUD. OF
1.-THE SAVINGS AND LOAN" ONE
OF FARGo's STRONG FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS TYPICAL OF THE
cITYs IMPORTANCE AS A BusI-
NESS AND MONEY CENTER.

On another page of this issue of
The Forum appears an advertisement
of The Savings and Loan" one of
Fargo's typical institutions. an in
stitution that began seventeen years
ago in a most modest way and re-
presents today in it's sturdy strength,
the development and the tremendous
growth of this section in the past de-
cade.
The advertisement in question has
peculiar interest as it is the work of
one Of The Savings and Loans" own
employees. It's a good advertisement
too, and reflects credit on the young
man who produced it, A. M Cornwall,
who up to three months ago had never
written advertisements, and whose
skill is the result of attendance upon
the sessions of the advertising class
at the Y M c. A.
So, the subject being a good one and
the writer an able one the conclusion
that the advertisement is a good one
is only natural. creditable alike to the
institution and it's employee, there
fore little of the history of this go
ahead Savings and Loan" will be in
order
Seventeen years ago The Northwest
western Mutual Savings and Loan as
eociation began business in the base
ment of the Fargo National bank
building, in the rooms now occupied
by Myers Pressing Parlors. Its be-
ginning, like that of most of Fargo's
present fourishing institutions was
modest in the extreme. After about
six months of strenuous endeavor the
munifcfent amount of $12,5O0 was in
the treasury, but it could be said that
the Savings and Loan" was ION the
way" and subsequent history has
proved that is was surely destined to
come to the front
In 1898 the association purchased
the building where Anheier- Rupert in
surance offices are now located and
moved into it's new premises. At that
time the assets had increased ten
times, being $125,0O0 and from that
time the growth has been rapid and
sure, illustrating the fact that II had
become factor in the growth and de-
NNASpiAiCllL Vi billS City anu STATE.
In January, 1906 the association pur-
chased its present fine building on
Broadway and took possession of the
quarters of the Red River Valley bank.
which, prior to it's consolidation with
the First National bank had occupied
the first floor. giving them not only
a commanding location but appropri-
ate quarters for the transaction of the
fast developing business, which, from
its modest beginning of $12,500 in
1898 has increased to the magnificent
total of $1,50O.00O at present.
The Savings and Loan" was chart
