Editor Tribune:
In you editorial of the 14th inst. on
a paid fire department you infer that
Bismarck has recently developed into
a city of large proportions. Permit
me to inform you that Bismarck had a
partially paid fire department as far
back as the early eighties. At one
time employed three regular paid fire.
men, owned team for number of
years and at the same time paid
$500 for the first team that arrived
to take the hook and ladder truck
to a fire. and several men were paid
in addition after a fire for caring for
the apparatus, and watching the ruins.
All this when Bismarck was said
to have about 5000 population. l
state again there has been no open de-
mand made for full paid fire depart
ment, even though the population has
increased two or three thousand. Far
go and Grand Forks did not dispose
of its volunteers entirely until they
had passed the ten thousand mark.
The new ordinance was not the out
come of any demand by the citizens
or underwriters. The trustees for
the past two years have requested
the present fire commissioner to in
troduce an ordinance that would pro-
vide for the employing of two or
three regular firemen, the payment
to the chief and assistant chief of
a reasonable yearly salary and the
paying of from ten to twelve members
of the departemtn by the hour while
in attendance at fires. In 1909 we
agreed wit hthe fire commissioner
that owing to the urgent need for
more hose, team, and hose wagon
that it was not wise to push the mat
ter, since the appropriations Of last
September We have repeatedly asked
him to introduce an ordinance as
above stated, to take effect as soon as
funds were available. Nothing was
done until April 3, when he introduced
the ordinances which will annihilate
the entire department and provide for
organizing a department made up Of
paid men only. Now, Mr.. Editor,
you may convince yourself and part of
the public that there is no political or
personal spite behind this move, but
you cannot convince the firemen and
all the public that the little -four
seven skiddo' joke of April 4th does
not cut more or less figure in this
urgent desire on the part of Fire
Commissioner Marquette and Presi-
dent Williams to pass the new ordin-
ance before Commr. Marquette's term
expires. Why? Because in the new
commission there will be a majority
that will favor partial paid depart

be seen that changes are made in the
amount of the penalty and in the date
of the tax sale. Under the new law
the penalty attached March is in
creased from to 5 per cent. No
penalty is attached in April and the
June Penalty is reduced from 3 to 2
per cent. The November penalty is
also reduced, being 3 instead of 5 per
cent.
Thus at the date of sale, the amount
of the penalty will be reduced from
IA to 10 per cent. The date of sale
is changed from the first to the sec.
ond Tuesday in December.

SEVERAL Changes
IN new TAX LAWS
PENALTY ON DELINQUENT REAL
ESTATE TAXES HAS BEEN
REDUCED.
Penalty Of Delinquent Personal Prop.
erty Taxes Remains About the
Same az Heretofore.

A large number of the people Of the
county do not know about the chang
es in the tax laws which were made
by the last legislature. The county
treasurer is anxious that everyone
should know about these changes and
for that reason extracts OF both the
old and the new laws are given here.
BY the law approved March 3, 1911,
the penalty on delinquent real estate
taxes has been reduced. The penalty
on delinquent personal property taxes
remains as under the old law.
The changes made can readily be
seen by comparing the extracts of

The Chalmers $50" has bigger, stronger
quicker-acting brakes than any other car
in it's class
The design, material and construction
of the steering connections are no better
on any car-no matter what the price-than
on the Chalmers "30". 1t would be possible
to make the steering apparatus of the $50"
more costly by putting more expensive
wood in the steering Wheel But this would
not make it any better in any particular
All steering connections on the Chalmers
$50" are protected and the cross steering
rod is back of the front axle out of danger
from shocks of the road.
Have you ever noticed the difference in

tions
The Pullman coach is compact and solid
It goes smoothly at any speed. 1t is CON-
Portable. 1t gives sense of security.
There is just the same difference between

We have made strong claims in this ad-
vertisement-the strongest that could he
made for a, car. Because we have stated
that according to certain important stand
ards, the Chalmers go" is preferable to any
other car selling at anywhere near the
same price. And in some respects, the

car made at any price.
We have made these statements advised.

fully, with the right standards in your mind,
you will decide the Chalmers go" is the
most you can buy in an automobile for
$500. And that, relatively. It is more than
you can buy in any other car, regardless
of the price,
Come and see these cars az soon as you
can. Let us arrange a demonstration at
your convenience.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-04-15

Ease Of Control and Comfort for Both
driver and passengers is one Of the best
standards. The Chalmers 1907 is easy of
control because it has one pedal for brake
and clutch; because the control levers are
just where you would naturally reach for
them; because of big steering wheel and
good steering connections. 1t is no trick
to learn to drive a Chalmers. We guar
antee to teach every buyer without addit-
ional expense how to drive and care for
his car -
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-04-15

This car has lis inch wheel base. The
body is swung well between the axles. The
seats are tilted and have good springs in
them. The upholstery is luxurious. The
rear springs are long. three-quarter elliptic
and of the finest steel for the purpose. The
majority of automobile engineers have
voted this type Of spring the best.
Without fear of contradiction, we say
there is no car in the world which is more
Chalmers "3O". Yet the price of this car
is only $1,000 including Bosch magnetic, gas
lamps, Prest-olite tank.
Weight is another standard,
The Chalmers $50" motor is lighter per
horse power than any other motor. The
complete car Is from 200 to 600 pounds
lighter than any competing car of the same
size and roominess. The "3O' has all the
weight that comfort and efficiency demand
yet no useless weight to consume gasoline
and wear out tires.
The Factors Of Safety are a standard
which you should have in mind at all times
The four main factors of safety in any mo-
tor car are Frame, Wheels, Brakes Steering
Connections.
The Calmers go" has the heaviest, strong
est frame in proportion to total weight of
any car in its class. Relatively this frame
is as strong as in any car at any price,
These 80" frames are built of special
heat-treated steel. They are strong enough
to sustain many times the weight they are
called upon to carry. They are staunch and
heavy enough to give feeling of solidity,
without which no car Is comfortable.
The wheels of the Chalmers go" are
made under the same specifications and of
the same material as those on the highest
priced cars.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-04-15

Good Looks is another standard. The
Chalmers $50" has good looks. 1t has
beautiful lines and it has fine finish. Those
who are competent to Judge say there is no
more beautiful car at any price.
AS for finish, you positively cannot find
a car to equal the Chalmers go" except
at nearly double the price. For attention
to details compare this car with those cost
ing twice and three times as much. Only
in that way can you appreciate how all
of the little things"-that seem so big
when neglected-have been provided in the
Chalmers '3O''

Getting good bargain when you buy an
automobile is not just a question of price.
1t is question OF features-of what is in
the car--the design. materials and work
manship.
If it is possible to get more for your mon
ey in one car than in another, you want
to know it. Ability to pick out car that
will give you the most for your money,
depends npon knowing the important points
on which to Judge and then comparing cars
on the basis of these points. 1t is ques-
ton of having the right standards.
A diamond expert will select the one most
perfect stone from handful of diamonds.
The horseman looking over a string Of
thoroughbreds. will pick out the one or
two best horses of the lot.
They are able to do this because they
konw the standards by which to judge a
diamond and a horse.
The same is true of motor cars We
ask you to compare Chalmers cars carefully
with others. We give here a few stand
ards which may help you get an unusual
dollars worth of value for every dollar
you put into your motor car
Simplicity Of Design is one good standard.
The Chalmers go" has cylinders cast en-
bloc. Motor. clutch and transmission cast
in unit. Working parts thoroughly pro-
tected from dust and yet easily accessible.
The Chalmers go" was the first American
car to have all of these features There
Is no other car with these features which
is so thoroughly tried and proved as the
Chalmers. Many cars that looked all right
in design failed in use. Whatever you do
buy a proved car.

British Cruiser Hawkes. Conf

Caused Collision.

LONDON. Nov. 21.-The hearing in
the cross-suits brought as a conse-
quence of the collision of the White
Star line steamship Olympic with the

coast of the Isle of Wight ON Septem-
Der 20. was resumed before the Admir-
atty Court today. Sir Samuel L. Evans
presided.
The case for the owners of the
Olympic closed this morning and the
counter-case for the British govern
ment opened with the testifying of
Commander Blunt, of the cruiser
Hawke.
Commander Blunt told of the APP
proach of the Olympic and related that
he had remarked to his navigating
officer that she was coming unpleas-
antly close.

Port, port. hard a-port.' The words
were hardly out of my mouth before
I realized the increasing velocity of
the vessels swerve. No helm could
stop her. At that moment the quarter
master reported the helm Is jammed.,"
Commander Blunt expressed the
opinion that suction, pure and simple"
caused the Hawke to turn to port. He
denied the statements of Olympic wit
nesses that the Hawkes. helm was
