FORUMS STORY

D. B. Collins Admits he Concocted
the Deal to 1njure Burke's
Friends =
a. 4
II know Governor Burke had
nothing to do with the sale of
that piece of land in Towner
county nine years ago, but d-n
him, he had no business to ap.
point Fountain Thompson to
the senate, and I'll make it
mighty lively for him and the
Cando bunch for doing it."
This was essentially the
statement made last night by
d. b. Collins of this city, in a
conversation at the News office.
Collins had come in to see if
the News would print the same
thing the Forum did regarding
an alleged fraudulent sale of a
section of school land to some
Towner county parties, he Civ
ing the impression that it was
a recent deal.
COLLINS SEEKS REVENGE.
There were those present who
remembered something of the
transaction nine years ago, and
last year, when the matter was
brought before the board of
University and School Lands,
and when Mr.. Collins mind
was refreshed as to time he
made the remark quoted above,
which explains the motive be.
hind the last attack on the
governor of the state.
Mr.. Collins, in his desire to
have the News follow the lead
of the evening paper, in this at.
tack on the governor, said he
had "told the Forum all about
it," and that he took this means
to "get even with the whole
Cando bunch" and much other
stuff showing that he was be-
hind the Forums publication
of the story. It was made plain
to the News-in fact Collins
made no bones of it-that the
whole thing was hatched up as
a scheme to injure the gover-
nor, the superintendent of
schools and Cando business
men. the evening paper and
Collins taking this means of
working out crouch.
DENIED AT BISMARCK.
Alexander Macdonald, state
land commissioner at Bis
marck, was asked about the
transaction last night and re-
piled:
"There is absolutely nothing
in the charge as it appeared in
the Fargo Forum a day or two
ago, which I understand is
about the same as the article
appearing in that paper tonight
The first we heard of this case
was in 1908, when d. B. Collins
of Fargo, made complaint that
a certain section of school land
had been illegally sold in 1901
and asked that the sale be set
aside and the land offered again
acting on the orders of the
school land board, the matter
was looked up on the records
which showed the land had
teen sold at public auction
nine years ago and as far as the
records show was regular in
every respect.
CHARGE Is WITHDRAWN.
"The board then, in order to
get at the bottom of the facts,
ordered a hearing on the
charges and asked Collins and
the parties who bought the
land, and such Witnesses as
they cared to have testify, to
appear before the board. At

 Be Uncovered.

New York, Aug 2S.-That reveia- tions of wholesale graft and shame ful corruption. on an even more ap- palIing scale than that of the Hi nois jackpot manipulators. will re- suit from the investigations which will commence on Wednesday by the special joint legislative committee. is the opinion of those who have been probing the graft situation at Al bany. It is alleged that a great mass of evidence. tending to prove that the sessions the New York state legislature at Albany have been little more than a public bartering of laws, has been piled up.
 Activities of the fire insurance trust" at Albany will be investigated and several prominent members of both houses, it is said. will be in volved The books of the defunct brokerage firm of Ellingwood & Cunningham, with which many mem bers of the legislature had dealings have been turned over to the in vestigating committee and will doubtless afford some interesting revelations of way that are dark and tricks that are vain" that would make the "heathen Chinee" blush with shame.
 Another matter to be taken up is the alleged padding of the payrolls of the legislature. species of small graft which has been prevalent for years. It is alleged that many rel atives of legislators receive from g. to $1O a day as clerks" but per form no work, appearing at Albany only to sign the payroll and draw their money It is also said that dummy names are carried on the rolls, and that the money goes to political workers Worse than this
 it has been asserted that women of status not mentioned in good soci- ety have drawn pay as employees of the New York state legislature. and an exposure of these lady friends | of legislators is expected to cause g scandal.

 We have succeeded in the arduOus
 task, handed down by our ancestors. We have endeavOred up to the pres ent to follow modern administrative | principles. but long existing evils and
 deep rooted weakness haze made it | impossible for us to effect reforms in
 reasonable time.

 I appeal to all my people not to create a commOtion bat to appreciate
 the situation and the trend of events

 pursuing peaceful occupations dnd obeying the new administration.
 Tn taking this step we have not
 disregarded your interests but on the contrary. we have acted in the hope of relieving a deplorabIe situation.
 Therefore we command you to take cognizance of our wishes"
 Simultaneously with ohe pronulga- ton of the emperor's decree, the gov

 FG the Election \ REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
In the Constitutional Con vention is a Certainty. Probability that the In itiative and Referendum Will Be Adopted

Albuquerque, N M. Aug. 2s-The last of the county primaries to nom- mate delegates to the convention to frame d constitution were held last night. The late primaries were chief ly in the strongly republican coun- ties and since the republicans are practically certain to have a majority in the constitutional convention, the results were watched with interest.
 Taking the territory as a whole, the progressives appear to have some what the best of it in that a majority of the candidates have announced themselves as running on platforms favoring the incorporation into the constitution of the initiative and ref erendum in some form.
 It is generally conceded that the republicans will have a working ma jority in the convention and it is probable that the majority will be twenty or more of the 100 delegates
 The election will be September 9th, and the convention on October 8.
 The initiative and referendum will be the first chief issue in the con vention The democrats are solidly for it, while there will be enough progressives to leave the question in doubt

the findings of the tariff commission, as we may certainly infer from the solid democratic vote in the present congress against the necessity of an appropriation for the committees work.
 "One of the great virtues of the new law, including the corporation tax, is that, taken with the current effort of the administration to keep down and reduce the governmental expenditures and reform the method of collectiong the customs revenue, 1t has by its revenue-producinS ca.'a- city turned deficit in the ordinary operations of the government of $5S,- OOO, 900 for 1909, to a surplus m the first full year of the law ending August 3, 1910, of $26,00O,OOO. From the revenue standpoint then, there can be no controversy over the ef- fectiveness of the new law General ly speaking. a full measure of indus trial activity in production, transpor- tation and distribution has accompa- nied the operation of the new law.
 Again the present law. in the cor poration tax imposes new kind or tax which has many of the merits of the income tax. It is one or the most useful and important changes Tn revenue laws, as the future will show. In spite of criticism at it's passage. no party responsible for the revenues or anxious to retain every means or legitimate supervision of corporations will repeal it.
