During the later years the levy has
as always been based on the expendi-
lures of the years previous, but these
expenditures, owing to decreased county
business, such as court and justice ac-
counts, and other matters, have been
gradually decreasing. So the tax levy
for these purposes has also been gradu-
ally decreasing.
In 1909, last year, the county board
levied $4,000, for the general fund; this
last month they made the levy for the
current year $4,000. This will natural
ply reduce that uncomfortable surplus
some during the next year.
That there should always be some sur
iplus in the treasury is just as true fol

es which wial swallow up the surplus

few years sgo,-and it is always best te
be prepared for such unforeseen events
/ That the surplus will be reduced is
evident from the action of the count,
board, but we do not think that they
contemplate wiping it all out.
1t is one of the absurdities of the Law
that the county board are not allowedte
use this surplus cash for any othel
purpose than that tor which it was lev.
led. While this moment we are paying
per cent interest on $4,000 in road and
bridge warrants outstanding, yet we
have surplus in the general fund ION
which we are receiving only 2 per cent
interest from the banks in which it is
deposited.
But if we cannot use it to build bold.
ges. it is not at all probable that the
courts would allow als to use it to baaild
new court houses when we have fai4ly
good building already.

Chronicles
InsinuatiQns

The Chronicle says that in copying
the statutes referring to the extra
ordinary ,expenditure't.of county moa-
ey that the Pioneer Express purposely
omitted certain parts offthe law which
permit the commissioners to expend
money without vote ,of the people.
Well, the Pioneer Express copied the
law from three different sections, gave
the numder. of the sections, and if We
omitted anything that is,of Importance
in this connection, why don't the Chron-
icle supply the deficiency and show
whore we purposely deceived the vot-
ers. Any voter who can get hold of 9
copy OF the Revised Codes, can read
them for hinself. The seations of the
Revised code referred to ,are 24O5-6,
:2419, 1886, 5,-and as the Chronicle has
us of .misquoting; ne ask that
paper to quote these or anynther stat
utes referringho the matter in full.

wonder if they have any method of ''fiK.

Cavalier evidently aaelleves the old
proverb that one good turn deserves

think that this always means to"twn

Cava1ier people have laughed to scoru

Of Cavalier means the loss of trade ia

the Pioneer Express and told to scare
business men and voters, OF these towns.
But, right now, before the, question Of

have been building bridges a year or
more ahead of taxation, with the result
that for long time the county has been
paying interest on unpaid warrants
drawn on the road and bridge fund at z
per cent.
On July 10th, 1910, the amount of reg
istered warrants outstanding was s1s,-
1859. During the year ending June
5Oth, 1910, there was paid by the county
as interest on outstanding bridge war
rants on this fund the sum of 81, ,597 40.
|: In the year 1909 the county board
authorized the expenditure of s29277. .43
for roads and bridges; during the same
period the proceeds of taxes for the same
purpose was s26,729.33. thus leaving a
shortage of s2,51s1O.
| AS we said, the expenditure for bridges,
is anything but complete yet. Many
petitions are now on file and many more
will be filed in the future. The board as
yet have only built those which in their
judgment were absolutely necessary.
For no other reason would they consent
to go in debt for these bridgesl
Asa basis for the probable needs Of
the future, without counting little
bends) the map shows that it would take
about seventy five bridges to make all
the laid out county roads on section lines
run continuously across the Pembina
and Tongue rivers in this county, not
saying anything abovt the coulees and
Park branches. All of the river brldgee
are expensive, most of them costing from
$500 to 5000 each 1t is therefore
quite evident that five have 100000 or
more to spare in the immediate future,
that we have place to put~it where it
will do more good and "save more mile
age' than to build a court house at Cav
alier.
We have not mentioned in this counec-
tion the present call for the bridge at
Drayton in which more than one tkous.
and taxpayers are asking the county to
appropriate s25O00 toward a bridge
which they deem SO necessary that the
people of that locality are willing to pay
out of their own pockets an additional
90 900, which in itself is big argument
for the necessity of this structure-as
distinguished from the request Of the
Cavalier people.
Neither have we;deemed it necessary
to- argue for tho necessity OF bridging
streams and coulees in this prairie ooun-
try whore so many farmers own lands on ]
iboth sides Of the water courses, and
where there is highway on every Sec
Etion line at least.
( There needs no argument for eoads
'acd bridges; every msn can stand in his

Man Who Refused to Associate
With Jay Gould.
John Duff of Boston Declined to Serve
As Official Of the Union Pacific
After the "LittIe Wizard" Got
Control of 1t.

One of the great bankers and finan-
ciers of Boston, indeed of the entire
country, a generation ago.. was John
Duff, who, as told recently, saved the
credit and solyency of the Union Pa
cific railroad during the panic of
1873 by pledging over 100000 worth
of his own private gilt-edge securities
for like amount of money with which
to pay the coupons of the roads land
grant bonds, then due.
1t was about 1866 that Mr.. Duff be-
came a director OF the Union Pacific,
and for about seven years thereafter
he was a power in the affairs of that
company. Towards the end of that
period he began to suspect that Jay
Gould was attempting to secure con-
troll of the Union Pacific.
With a man of that character
said Mr.. Duff, with all the positiveness
of his nature, to his son-in-law, DR.. Will
liam H. Billiard, who had personal
knowledge of many of his father-in-
laws business transactions, Il will
have no business dealings whatsoever
l have had none in the past, and
will keep clear of any in the future. NO
matter what comes to pass. l should
be afraid of my own reputation If
were associated with a man who tried
to make fortune by wreching rail
road properties"
Gradually the signs became more
