North Dakota Political Gossip

Jamestown Capital; For the steenth
time Honest John Burke arises to
explain why he appointed Doc Pur-
cell-requiring three columns to just
ify his right to do so. It's funny how
voluminous he Is on that point and
how silent on his attempt to deceive
the press 1T was entirely unneces-
sary for him to state any untruths.
Hannah Moon: A fight is on in
Washington over McCumber's federal
inspection grain bill. 1t should be Of
interest to farmers in this state to
note that the boards of trade Of Chi
cago, Minneapolis and Baltimore have
been lobbying for the grain men to
XIII the measure. Is not this good
time for the farmers to watch the fight
closely in view of the fact that some
insurgents have confidence enough to
assert that Senator McCunber is not
the formers friend. Actions speak
louder than words.
Munich Herald: The Herald has no
fault to find with the celebrated con-
Citation committee of tine Insurgents

selected them, bat from the person.
mel of the committee, we believe they
would act wisely and with due care
and that their recommendations would
be worthy OF weight as, the best plan
that could be evolved for the reform
movement in the state. Current rum
ors have, however somewhat shaken
our faith. 1t is said they are going
to eliminate u. l.. Burdick in favor of
III. t. Helgesen for the congressional
nomination for this part of the state
The writer has known Mr.. Helgesen for
the past twenty years. We recognize
In him an able and fearless advocate
of the peoples rights. Mr.. Helgesen is
a man that will, if elected, reflect
honor and credit upon the state. He
has been prominent in the reform
movement in the state since it's be-
ginning. We honor him for his work
and were it in our power we should
reward him. We believe, however, that
the reform movement is not for the
furtherance of any individual or his
political fortunes. The winning of the
movement, whoever may be the tenn
porary leader who brings the victory,
is vindication enough for any man
NAAO ALcAS NoAhCu III ItlG hlONGIllBuI
whether as a leader or in the ranks.
Such we believe to be the sentiment of
Mr. Helgesen, but his friends have
seen fit to push him upon this concil-
iation committee. The purpose of that
committee as we see it is to further
the movement, not the reward of vim
dictate any man. 1t can best further
the movement by indorsing as its can
didate the man most likely to win in
the primaries. Granting that Mr..
Helgesen and Mr.. Burdick are both
qualified for the position and that
both are honest, able and energetic,
the question for the committee to act
upon is which one at the present time
stands better with the rank and file
of republican voters. Is it the man
that has been the unsuccessful candi-
date for Office, that has been bitterly
fought at home, maligned and sland-
cred all over the state, or is it the
man That has been successful i'm every
thing he has undertaken. that has

ton OF the people of the state, the man
that lis the nero of the young voter,
who has the deciding vote In this con-
test, the man who has NOT been and
cannot be bitterly opposed, attacked
or torn to shreds by the opposition?
Let the committee consider these
things well before putting their stamp
of approval on the chosen one.
Ryder News: Governor Burke is
sued denial to the story that he had
appointed Purcell and that Thompson
had resigned, when at that time Pur-
cell had the appointment in mis- peck
ct; this was Burkes idea of shrewd
politics; others would have called il
plain lie.
Sheldon Progress: The Progress is
this week publishing the announce
ment OF w. M. House of Wyndncre,
who aspires to the office of secretary
of state. About the time the writer
was learning his "a B Cs" in little
old wooden schoolhouse a dozen miles
southwest of Fairmount, Mr.. House
was superintendent of schools of Rich
land county and has since been con-
nected with the upbuilding of the
state, holding many positions of trust.
Mr.. House saw active service during
the Civil war, is the youngest veteran
of Summer post, c. A. r., and is still
vigorous and in his prime. For some
time he was editor of the Wyndmere
Pioneer, is practical farmer and an
extensive land owner. Mr.. House is a
republican and solicits the support Of
the republican voters at the June
primaries, and, if elected at the gener-
al election in November, will take up
his residence in the capital city.
Hannah Moon: A good deal of nom
sense is being published in some of
the republican papers of the state for
the purpose of casting undue reflection
upon Governor Burke for appointing
Senator Purcell to succeed U. S. SEN
ator Thompson Now the governor is
a pretty decent Irishman even if he is
a democrat. We have nothing to say
of his wisdom in appointing Senator
Thompson. That may have shown poor
Judgment. But when the thing was

perhaps the best man available and

not that he VIII make good in Wash

NORTH DAKOTA CLAWS

Next to its Ignite coal North Da-
kota has vast riches in itsE,clay beds
Their real value it little understood
by the citizens of the state. In fact
the development so far has been so
slight that only those Actually en-
gagged in the business realize the i'm
mense resources of the state i'm this
respect. ....
All the western part of the state
Is undertake with coal and in cennec-
ton with every coal vein there is a
clay deposit In some localities it Is
little more than thin shell In other
sections the deposits are found sixty
feet or more in depth.
There are places in which the clay is
fit only for brick In others It is of such
fine quality that it can be converted
into the most delicate pottery. There
are localities in which it is especially
adapted for making sewer pipe. In
others 1t is ideal for the porous tile
drains.
Samples of the clay have been sent
to pottery manufacturers at different
times within the last. decade and
products have been turned out that
compare favorably with those manu-
featured anywhere in this country.
Many forms of ornamental work are
possible. especially in mantles and
freplaces.
Any one who has seen the magni-
ficent brick manufactured in the west
ern part of the state will no longer
doubt the possibilities in this respect
One manufacturer has sold his output
as far west as Portland and Seattle
and as far south as Los Angeles. He
leads all competitors for brick used
on high class jobs in this state. What
he has accomplished is possible for
others.
The large coal deposits adjoining
the clay solves the fuel problem and
ell kinds of industries in which heat
is factor can easily be developed.
The fancy brick making and other
clay industries will always be located
in the western half of the state. The

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
II is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher OF Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. ID. f. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it Is certain that their advice Is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance OF the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne SAYS
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat 1t frequently. 50

In I9UI there were 40 pasJengers
killed and 500 injured i'm train acct
dents, as against only 131 killed and
1855 injured in train accidents in 1909.
The number of employees killed in
train accidents in 1907 was 1,O11, as
against only $40 in 1909.
The greater safety of passengers is
attributed by Chairman Knapp, of the
Interstate commerce commission, to
the rebuilding of tracks, taking out
curves, reducing grades, strengthening
roadbeds and laying heavier rails. The
double tracking of roads and the in
PRODUCTION of the block system also
have aided materially in the work The
lessening of the slaughter of workmen
on the roads is due largely to the in
PRODUCTION of patent couplings.

EDITORS GATHERING.

Balfour Statesman: The State Ed

meeting in Fargo, Feb. IL. 1t was
the best ever held. The day was fully

rooms of the Commercial club. A
banquet was given by the club in the
evening and was followed by an enter
tainment at the Grand operahouse.

tertal prosperity of Fargo. 1t has a
Tar better class Of business buildings
than st. Paul had in 1882. 1t has a
large number of four. five and six story
buildings and foundations are up in

INCORPORATION TAX,

The federal Incorporation tax
doesn't strike the managers and Of
| ficiaks OF corporations very favorabIy
and there are so many methods of
evasion that the government is I'M
likely to receive the benefits antici-
pated. There have been some pecu-
liar situations developed in Fargo
during the hurry and rush to get the
reports in by Mar. to avoid the
heavy penalties
The, law works an injustice to COM
peting concerns. one may be incor-
porated while its strongest competi-
tor Is a partnership affair. The cor
poratdon has to pay a tax that the
other fellows are not assessed.
Then it works different in other
ways. No tax is imposed unless there
is profit of over $4,000. There are
varied and sunday ways in which the
books of the corporations can be
''doctored" to dodge this. The tax is
imposed not on the assets or 1iabili-
ties or volume of business done-but
on the profirs--the net income. One
Fargo concern is reported to have ar.
ranged everything to declare a divi-
dend to the stockholders. They had
forgotten the Incorporation. tax and
when their attention was called to ii
the profits were disposed of by vot-
ing increased salaries for the officials
and placing certain monies in a sink
ing fund.
This method resulted In no profits
being shown in excess of $5,0OO-but
the stockholders were left holding the
bag. They got no dividends. "
Various other schemes were worked
and in many cases there was an eva
sion of the incorporation tax--tech-
nically legal.
