IMMEDIATE REVISION NECESSARY

1t is gratifying TO know that there
will be no change in the policy o!
calling Congress IN special session
next spring for the purpose Qf revising
the tariff. Governor Wilson is reported
to be still in favor OF such action, and
Representative Underwood has issued a
statement since election day favor
ing the consideration of the tariff at
special session Of Congress.
There is only one argument against
the calling OF Congress into eXtraor-
binary session for this purpose. and
that is based solely upon considerations
of political exped!ency. Some OF the
more practical politicians are putting
forward the time-worn argument for
delay which In effect is that sufficient
time should be taken TO ascertain
whether the popular mandate Is Tor
tariff reductions. Other opponents OF
a special session think that time
should be given to a board or COM
mission to investigate the industrial
and commercial facts bearing upon
the tariff problems.
II the recent success Of the Demo-
cratic party can be traced to any
special cause Il is that the people OF
the country wish to be relieved from
the exacuons and iniQuities OF the
existing tariff law. The Democratic
campaign was conducted upon the
basis of constantly reiterated asser-
tions that, il successful. the tariff rates
would immediately be revised ana
would be ultimately placed as near a
revenue basis as possible, after taking
into consideration the requirements
of legitimate business interests. More
over. the attitude of the Democratic
party towards the tariff is already
well known through the bills intro
duced during the past two sessions OF
Congress by Chairman Underwood, OF
the Ways and Means Committee. Bust |
ness interests long ago discounted
Democratic success at the polls. and
they now prefer, II the Democratic !
party is TO revise the tariff downward, !

as practicable. Uncertainty and delay

The lecture of Francis j. Heney of

the last number of the Peoples lecture
course for this season. was quite large
ly attended last night by the Grand
Forks people who are interested in
the work OF the Frisco graft prosecu-
tor.
In his address Mr.. Heney was Bit

at the conservation congress held in

speech in which he took exceptions to

CLERKS LIABLE

jamestown, n. D.. March 2a.--In an
opinion just handed down by states
Attorney Kneeland a decision is given
in the question raised by county Of
ficials and local mail clerks as to
whether the latter are subject to per-
sonal property taxation. MIR. Knee
land holds that there Is nothing in the
fact h a mail clerks hold positions
under the United States government
that can in n way exempt them
the personal taxes levied against
them under North Dakota laws.
For several years a number of the
mail clerks in jamestown have re-
fused to pay personal property taxes
on the grounds that IAN office Of the
United states or the emoluments Of
such Office are not subject to taxation
by state governments as such a course
would interfere with the federal gov
ernment." However. the states attor-
ney holds that the personal property
taxes to which this argument is made
to apply by the mail clerks are not
taxes on the office. employment or
emolumcnts of any Office but are poll
taxes n those levied on personal
property acquired by the holders.

Mouse River Loop Has Such
an Institution-Will be

Another chautauqua for North Da-
kota will be opened this year as q re.
suit of the activities of George ].
Eauer of Tolley. Mr.. Sauer. who was
In the city this week. is confident that
the new enterprise will be IL complete
success. and he has arranged for a
program for the first chautauqua
which is unusually good.
The chautauqua grounds are locat-
I'd along the banks Of the Mouse riv-
er, and the event will be known as
the Mouse River Loop ch%autauqua.
Thc park lies on a line between Bow
bells and Mohall, being five and a half
miles north of Tolley. which is the
nearest station.
1t is expected that the chautauqua
will provide a summer resort for the
people of Renville. Ward. Burke, Bot
tineau. Divide. McHenry and Noun.
trail counties, and Mr.. Sauer states
that about eighteen new cottages will
be constructed on the grounds this
spring. Last year there were a large
number Of people camped at the park,
and this yea with the chautauqua
program as the feature. he expects to
ground during the entire time. with a
large number Of other visitors from
day to day.
The park is forty acres in extent,
and borders the Mouse river, being
at a splendid bend of that stream. The
natural advantages are many, with
canoing, boating n with steam
launches available for long trips on
the water.
July 4 is the date Of the c%hautauqua
opening, and it will continue till July
15. The elaborateness of the plan laid
down by Mr.. Sauer is indicated by the
fact that his talent includes such at
fractions as Captain Hobson, Father
Cleary. Caleb Powers. ii. V. Adams.
English Opera company. Geo. w. Balm,
Gabriel II. Macguire. Appola Concert
company, and Brush.
Mr.. Sauer has made provisions for
an auditorium tent which will seat
$500 people, but next year he will
I'VE a permanent building.
Real estate men of the northwestern
section of the state are particularly in
terested in the chautauqua, as they
expect a large number of land seekers
in the district about that time. The
added attraction of summer entertain
ment, the real estate dealers believe,
will have no little effect in inducing
many to come to that section to live.

he expected to have the entire $10,-

A.. in that city when MIR. Wallace. Sec

~. visited jamestown and formally
launched the movement for tho cs-
enlistment of the association,
MIR. Wallace is still directing the
movement in that city, and Mr.. Kav-
anaugh. who is chairman of the COM
mittee in jamestown. assures him that
there is little question but what the
necessary amount will be raised.
Subscriptions nave been received
in good shape by the jamestown com.
mittee. Several subscriptions of $500
each We're received. and there we're
numerous other substantial subscrip-
tons by the business and professional
men of the city.
Under the plan of operation, as
proposed by Mr.. Wallace. the sum of
$4,000 will provide for the operat-
ing expenses of the association until
January l. 1915. Thus the secretary
who enters upon the wo.k will come
in with his hands II tied. and will
have every opportunity to promote
the interests of the organization.
Jamestown will be the third city in
North Dakota in which Il city ~associa-
ton will be launched. Grand Forks
and Fargo already have such ~associa-
tions, while five other cities. in addi-
ton to jamestown. contemplate the
organization of such enterprises. The
