Ramsey County, N. D., Delegation 10
Told What People Want.

Devils Lake, N. d., Dec. ia novel
mass meeting was held here at the
opera house last night, the purpose OF
which was to have the senators and
representatives to the state legisla-
ture know what legislation the people
of the city and county wishes.
There was unanimous sentiment
in favor of more efficient good roads
that the present method Of letting the
farmers work out their road tax is in
efficient. An effort will be made to
secure an annual appropriation for the
state military ground and also for an
appropriation for the completion of
the class building of the State school
for the deaf. The majority OF those
present were also in favor of an in
itiative and referendum bill, and a

TEACHERS AND
BOARD CLASH
Former Are Warned to Keep Hands
or of Politics.

The board of education at the meet
ing this month passed joint resolu-
tion prohibiting instructors and
teachers in the city schools taking &C
tive part in political campaign. The
resolution was passed as a result of
the interest manifested by instructors
in the election of r. r. Barnes, the
republican candidate for the office of
superintendent of schools Of Rich
land county.
Toward the end Of the campaign
the fight centered uiyon the candidates
for this office, F. r. Barnes, repub-
lican and Andrew Skarvold, democrat.
1t was seen by both factions that the
votes of the women Of the county
would be necessary to elect either.
The teachers of tine city schools,
believing that Mr.. Barnes was the
most capable man for the Office, mas
much as he had had one term in office,
turned out and campaigned for him,
and, in great measure, were respon-
sible for the large number of women's s
votes.
Members of the board of education,
some Of them democrats, bitterly op-
posed the exertions of the school H.
structors, which resuited In the cleo
tion of the republican nominee, and

due this spring, which will average
about 500 lot past every lot that the
mains were laid. Next year there
will be but one installment to be
paid. The side walk taxes and the
grading taxes have been very heavy.
And do you know who are paying
the taxes in Minot? l will tell you.
It is the man with the mule team
who works at manual labor, who
comes here and tries to buy a little
home of mis- own. Perhaps he has
but a hundred dollars to pay on that
home, is he taxed for that $100? Not
on your life He is taxed for the full
value of mis- property. Maybe his
domicile is but tar papered shack,
he finds the taxes more than he can
afford to pay. The man who holds
the mortgage doesn't pay the taxes.
Don't you believe it.
am in a position to know some
thing about the taxes of Minot. l can
say that as far as the residence por-
ton OF the city is concerned, that
was assessed in more uniform man
ner last year han ever and still
say it was taxed too high. The resi-
dence portion Of the city is taxed too
high for the business section.
Take the International Harvester
company for example. The assessor
goes to assess the holdings Of tnat
company, What does he know about
the value Of the stock there He mas
to take the word of the manager.
He asks for statement and lit is
cheerfully given to him. There are
SO many binders, costing the company
$27 each. Assess them at one third
of their value or $500 and there you
are. The farmer must pay taxes on
his binder Ut the rate Of SIS. Is this
just taxation?
For all this, Minot bids fair to be-
come great city, but she needs the
help Of her citizens. We must all do
some boosting. Let's start the year
1911 right, and all pull together.

'fMinot has the earmarks Of a great
little city," prominent citizen re-
marked ITO the editor of the Inde-
pendent the other evening.
"Our city, l believe is now at its
lowest ebb. The poor crop Of last
season caused business to be much
duller than it would have been under
ordinary circumstances, and then
changing the policy of our city gov
ernment, has mad it's effect, whether
it will turn out better in the long
run for Minot or not. Still our busi-
nessmen are making the best of 1t,
paying high taxes and high rents
without a murmur. They are lying
low for better crops and better times
They hope to see the empty houses
that now stare them in the face filled.
They remember that three years ago
the Great Northern was crying for
more houses. Well, We have them,
but we have not enough people to fill
them. OF course number of apart
ment houses have been erected dur
ing the past two years and these have
caused some of the houses to be-
come vacant. Most OF the good
houses, however, are occupied, the
poorer nes not being much in demand.
Minot ought to see good year in
1911, if the Federal building is con-
structed, and if the Normal school
gets the appropriation. The public
library will be built and the 500 will
no doubt erect it's new depot. The
railroads leading into Minot ought to

started. ... !, ( 0...rz'.

seat in the senate Immediately upon

w. E. Purcell OF Wahpeton, by ap-
pointment from Governor Burke.

can be Of more use in the house,
probably will retain my seat until
later in the session, possibly until
well along toward the close of the
congress on March 4. MY term in
the senate will not begin until take
the oath, although my commission
will be forwarded to the presiding
officer Of that body Immediately after

Senator Purcell's appointment from
Governor Burke runs until the end

Gronna chooses to tahe his seat In
