States are subject to any time

essential part, and makes life up
on the farm just so much better,

many ways by which the Govern

amount that is asked for to help

Committee on the Post Office and
Post Roads has stated that he is

which will increase the salary Of

BURKE COUNTY GETS
REGULAR TERM
Legislature Gives Burke COun.
ty Three Terms of Court
Each Year

The legislature the fore part of
the week passed a bill providing
for a regular term of district
court in Burke county on the first
Tuesdays of March, June and
September. This bill, we are
told, goes into effect on July 1st
Of this year, which will give US a
term of court in Bowbells next
September.
Divide, Williams and McKen-
zie counties having been put into
a judicial district by themselves,
gives the judge of the eighth dis
trict ample time to give all the
necessary attention to the cases
which come up in his territory,
and hereafter Burke county may
expect to have all it's business
looked after by a judge who is
not overworked by having too
large a district.

MONEY in FARMING.

In May. 1908, James Moore Of
Crosby, N. D., bought the NW3
of Sec. 6, Twp. 1852, Range 81,
paying therefore $2100. That
year he had a steam rig break up
153 acres at a cost Of SO per acre.
Next season (19O9) he seeded
| the land to wheat which threshed
1850 bushels or at a rate of 254
bushels per acre. 400 bushels of
this wheat was sold at IS cts. per
bushel, the remainder at 81. O5 at
Crosby.
Next year, being our past sea-
son of 1910, the poorest year the
Crosby country and the state Of
North Dakota has ever known,
he threshed 1400 bushels of wheat
off the same land which he sold
for $1.01 per bushel. Land was
rented both seasons.
Jim is not ''hollering" about
his crop last year for he realizes
that there is no country in this
world, at least, but where the
crops are slim some years.
This quarter is not now for sale
at $4,000 cash, an advance of
about So, 900 in less than three
years, besides the above crops,
or a total profit in less than three
years, after deducting seed, twine
bills and taxes, Of oyer $48O0 on
an investment Of $2100. Does
farming pay in the Crosby coun-
try? This statement is fair to
both the knocker and the booster
Of a country for it covers one
good year and one poor one.
This is the report of an Irish
man and know of a dozen good
Swedes and Dutchmen who claim
they can go him one better. r.

Hanna Makes Speech in House
Asking that Salary of r.
F. D. Men Be Raised
ASKS FOR $500 MORE
Says Carriers in North Dakota
Earn Much More than their
Salary During Winter

Congressman L. B. Hanna
made a most earnest plea before
the house of representatives re-
Gently for more pay for the rural
mail carriers. Mr.. Hanna said:
Mr.. Speaker: We have before
us for consideration bill which
carries very large appropriation
of money in the aggregate, but
the money is to be used for a pun
pose which enters into the every
day life of every citizen Of our
country.
The mail service Of the United
States is a vast n d complex
machine, and yet it has been so
systematized that it runs, as a
rule, smoothly and is one of the
great factors in the development
of the business and social life Of
our people. We cannot get along
without our mail. and we insist
upon having it regularly and on
time. To those who live in the
cities and towns and get their
mail once or more times a day,
unless they have at some time in
their lives lived in the country,
they have but little idea of what
it means to receive their mail but
once or perhaps two or three
times a week.
A few years ago the Govern
ment took up the proposition of
the rural distribution of mail. 1t
was not at first thought that this
would be practical thing to do,
but a short trial proved and de-
monstrated that it was practical,
that it was of great benefit, and
that the people thoroughly appre-
ciated it, and the rural service
has grown by leaps and bounds
until today there are some 1000
rural routes in operation through
out the United States. Many
more routes have been applied
for, and from time to time new
routes are being established.
We have before US for consider
alton the question Of paying the
men who carry the mail upon
these rural routes a fair compen-
sation for the labor which they
perform. In the last session Of
this Congress introduced a bill
which provided that the sum of
$500 per annum should be paid
to every rural mail carrier in the
Uuited States in addition to the
salary which he is now receiving.
this additional money to be used
as an expense account for feed
for his horse or horses, for the
up-keep of his carriage or wagon,
and all the other incidentals
which at the present time he has
to pay out of the small salary he
is receiving.
In the State in which | live.
North Dakota, we have several
hundred routes in operation.
Our winters are long and cold;
the carriers must be d re ssed

ON THE RIGHT SIDE or THE
LEDGER.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is
naturally proud of the fact that his
department shows this year a surplus
instead of a deficit. For the first time
since 1888 the postoffice department
this year reports an excess of receipts
over expenditures. The surplus for the
year is S219,11s. Two years ago, at
the close of the fiscal year 1909, the
deficit of the postoffice department
amounted to s17,479.77O, the greatest
on record. This was the closing year
of the Roosevelt administration, and
Mr.. Hitchcock takes much satisfac-
ton in pointing out that this has
been changed, in two years of the
Taft administration, to a surplus,
though the operations and facilities
of The department have been greatly
extended.
Since the Inauguration of the rural
free delivery system the tendency To-
ward increased expense has been
heavily marked in the postoffice de-
partment, and it is gratifying to see
that at last the receipts are overtak-
ing the cost of the service and that
the convenience of the service to the
people is being extended without an
increase of cost. The administration
of the postoffice department has Of
ten been criticised for it's unbusiness-
like character in the fact that it cost
the country large sums each year,
whereas it should be self-supporting.
This has not been altogether a fair
consideration, for the benefits of
ready and cheap communication
among the people of all parts of this
great country are so great to the
progress and prosperity and safety of
the republic that they are worth the
paying of a heavy price. William H.
Seward held that the central form of
government of the United States was
established by the founders of the
republic to prevent the divisions
which marked the political affairs of
the old world, and that the founders
purposed doing this first by afford
ing the states protection in their for
eign relations; second. by establish
ing perfect freedom of trade among
the states; third, by delivering their
letters" and this, he held, lis the
whole of the constitution. The people
would not be willing to forego any Of
the facilities of mail distribution even
for the sake of reducing the expenses
of the government, provided such ex,
penses were shown to be necessary :
Nevertheless, an economical and bus
inesslike administration of the post
office department is eminently desir-
able and the government should be
held to very strict accounting for
the cost of the service.
Upon the net results of his admin
istration, whether the economies he
has instituted have been justified by
their effects, and not merely by the
balance sheets he presents, will Post
master General Hitchcock be judged
as a successful director of one of the
great departments of the government.
