N. D.. Farmers
FAVOR single TAX

Zion, N. D., April 1.-The following
resolutions are self explanatory:
We, the undersigned, having been
duly appointed by the unanimous vote
at the annual township meeting held
at Zion, N. D, on March 10, as a COM
mittee to compose resolutions favoring
a single tax law and to have copy of
same published for the benefit and con-
sideration Of taxpayers in various To-
calitfes, do hereby submit the follow
ing resolutions: +
Whereas, it appears to be self evil
dent that the increase of farm values
are in a large measure due to diversi-
fed farming and improvement of farm
homes, and under the present system
of taxation, land owners, who neither
improve their lands nor diversity by
stock farming, share these increased
values on an equal basis with those
who do diversity, and improve their
farm homes. Whereas, a single tax is
a tax upon land values irrespective of
improvements made upon that land. 1t
will thus be seen that a single tax, is
a tax hot in proportion to the use or
improvements pOI IA PAOPOA hAOIA W NV
value of the bare land itself. And
again as it appears by the single tax
system, the expense of assessing,
equalizing, stationery, ETC.. would be
materially ~lessened, we therefore fav-
or a change from our present system
OF taxation to that Of a single tax
system.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
the taxpayers Of farm homes and lands
agitate this proposition, create senti-
ment, and urge by petition or other
wise the state legislature of North
Dakota in the winter Of 1918, through
the medium of their respective repre-
sentatives to create and pass a law ex-
empting from taxation farm improve
ments, and personal property on
farms and that the land values alone
be made the basis of taxation.

NO DANGER OF

ONLY HEAVY RAINS WILL MAKE

EIGrand Forks, N. d, April 1.-Unless
heavy rains set in within the next few
days, flood conditions are not antici-
pated in the Red Lake river or Red
river country, according to Capt. ].
F. Hayes of the federal engineering
corps, with headquarters in Grand
Forks. .1. y ...,.

unless we should have an abundance
of rain" said the captain this morn
ing. 'undieations are that the ice will
rot out Of the river this spring n
this means that there will be no par
ocular rush of water or an overflow
ing of the banks. The lowest the riv-
er has been during the winter was
two and one-half feet. This morning
a above zero was recorded.
Flood conditions are not looked for
in the northern Minnesota woods this
spring. / talked with a man yesterday
who had just returned from the woods
and he said there was not over a loot
of snow left.
Conditions are about the same this
spring as they were in 1890, when the
river opened on April Is. I look for
the breakup to occur about the same
time this year"
April II is an average date for the
opening of navigation on the Red, al

Milton Globe: Aleck Mckay met
with an accident last evening about 4
o'clock which came near costing his
life. He, together with John McLaurin
were unloading a stump puller prepar-
atory to moving the old Methodist
church in East Alma, near the w. +.

Mr.. Mckay a violent blow on the side

a heavy iron bar that was laying on
the ground. He immediately became
unconscious and the blood Epurted
from his nose, ears and mouth. He
regained consciousness, in a few min

They stopped at the Brock Mcbride
place and sent word for DIR. Gustuson

been improved in the past year. The
organization now numbers twenty
eight musicians and regular rehearsals
are being held. The commanding Of
1cers throughout the state have, for
the past two months been taking a
keen interest in the Mexican situation,
and more attention has been paid to
drills than in some time.
In Poor Condition.
Colonel Frame is as well versed on
the military affairs of the government
as any one in the west. In regard to
the possibility of war with Mexico, he
was positive in his statements that it
was due to come. "And when It does
come. the United States will be Ill pre-
pared. At the present time 100000
men are available for duty and that
number is not equal to the standing
army of Mexico at the present time"
zone thing that the government will
find trouble withris- the transportation
facilities. To handle even the 1000
men available, at least 10000 mules
would be necessary for the trains. The
United States does not own any where
near that number, or l am mistaken.
Not only a depIorable lack of draft an
imals would mean trouble, but that is
not the only thing. The government
owns but few wagons suitable for use
in warfare, but these could probably
be secured in short order.
I'm spite Of the apparent lack Of
equipment, the government would I'M
doubtedly handle the questions when

ia is concerned, the boys here are
ready and anxious to get down to the

NEWS OF THE
TO STANTON IN
THIRTY DAYS

Mandan Pioneer: C. H. Stems Of
the contracting firm of Stems & Co,
which has the contract for building he
Northern Pacific to Stanton arrived in
the city yesterday from Montana, ami
is getting his force together prepare
tory to starting work next week on the
ten mile gap between Fort Clark and
Stanton. One m of about 125 men
will be located and all the work carried
on from that camp.
With the weather continuing such
as we have had for the week lust
passed the line should be completed
within thirty days and the fondest
dreams of the people of Stanton
realized.
This is but the forerunner of the
work to be carried on in Mercer and
Dunn and Mckenzie counties by the
Northern Pacific this year. The line
west from Stanton will be pushed
with all rapidity. 1t will follow the
KNIT river most of the way and pre-
sents no serious engineering feats, in
fact 1t Is stated that there will be but
about 1,500,000 yards of excavation
work and that steam shovels will not
be needed as there are no heavy cuts.
Mr.. Stems said that as yet the North
ern Pacific had not asked for bids on
the work, but that this firm would bid
when the time came.
Meanwhile Northern Pacific engi-
neers are busy in Mckenzie county,
and 1t Is apparent that the objective
point is Fort Buford. The following
from The Alexander Chronicle tells Of
the operations of the engineers:
Engineer G. E. Coons and a crew
of twenty-one surveyors and Eve
teams have landed in Alexander. They
came here direct from the Mule shoe
Bar ranch south of Schafer where
they broke camp. They are establish
ing quarters at the Alexander hall
and expect to be in Alexander and
vicinity for about a month.
Mr.. Coons informed The Chronicle
man that they have three propositions
to work out in this locality. One sur
vey will be run along the Lonesome
creek through Alexander, or to be ex-
act, a quarter mile south of town, an
other will be a couple of miles south
of town and the third will be down
Timber creek, then up Camp creek.
This survey will strike about three
miles north of us.
These propositions all look feasible
and Engineer Coons is under the i'm
preston that the road will strike AL
exander or close to it. He a v this
territory is too good to be without a
railroad and that we may expect the
Northern Pacific as soon as it can get
here.
The crew will start out toward Hay
butte and their first work may be on
the survey south OF town.
Several Of the surveyors were heard
TO express their surprise at finding
such q good inland town as Alexander.
They are a unit in voting it by far
the best town they have vet seen in
the county. The level or gently undu-
lating country also appeals fayorably
to them as they had become somewhat
discouraged trying to find a suitable
grade in the bad lands around Schafer.

Z Grand Forks, N, D., April l.-The
above rather startling statement by
Col. ]. H. Frame of Grafton, command
ing officer of the North Dakota Ma
tional guard, who has, in company
with Capt. G. H. Williams Of the
Eighteenth infantry, u. s.. A, just
completed the annual government in
spection of the state militia.
aGgThere are in the state twelve militia
Companies besides the regimental ban
and the hospital corps. The total en-
iistment of militia men in the state
at the present time is about $50 and
this number would be ready to take
the field in five days after receipt of
mobilization orders.
Well Above Requisite Number.
Colonel Frame stated that the COM
panies in the state stood the inspection
very we'll, that all wer well above the
minimum muster roll of fifty-eight en-
listed men. For the past three weeks
the inspection of the various compa-
MES have been in progress, the last
company to receive a going over by
the officials being Co. e of Williston.

legged, was filed for MI. Boe's wife,
and she also has a damage suit for
$4,000 against the company, which
will be tried later.
It is claimed that the prescription in
question called for vaginal astringent
tablets, but that the clerk gave BIZ
chloride of mercury tablets instead.
That these tablets were taken in the
manner prescribed by the physician
is also alleged, and the present physi-
cal condition Of the woman was used
in the case.
The ease probably will be appealed
to- the supreme court. The case was
handled for the plaintiff by e. r.

company was represented by Palda,

and Bosard & Twiford.
