WANT ONE TAX.
Towner County Farmers Believe in the
Single Idea.

Single Idea.
Cando, N. D., April 3.-Farmers Of
Zion township, this county, believe in
the single tax idea, as is evidenced by
the following resolutions:
We, the undersigned, having been
duly appointed by the unanimous vote
at the annual township meeting, com
mittee to compose resolutions favoring
a single tax law and to have copy of
same published for the benefit and con.
sideration Of the taxpayers in various
localities, do hereby submit the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, it appears to be self evil
dent that the increase of farm values
are in 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. It
will thus be seen that single tax, is
tax not in proportion to the use or
improvements, but in proportion to the
value Of the bare land itself. And
again as it appears by the single sys.
TEN, the expense of assessing, equaliz.
ing, stationery, ETC., would be mater.
tally lessened, we therefore favor a
change from our present system of tax.
action in that Of a single tax system.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that
the taxpayers Of farm homes and lands

ment, and urge by petition of other.

ADVICE FOR THE CORN FARMER

Use the best seed obtainable, regard
less of price.
For North Dakota, Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin do not use seed
grown south Of the forty-fourth paral-
lei Of latitude.
If seed will not test 100 per cent,
plant the best seed that can be OBJ
tanned but make allowances according
ly.
When an extra amount of seed has
been planted thinning will be neces-
sary.
It is better to use seed terminating
only so to 60 per cent on test, that is
adapted to the locality than to use
100 per cent seed foreign TO the soil.

xx7 ERE the man who some
W. times writes the articles
that are printed in this
column possessed of omniscience,
he would be easily able to answer
the questions put to him, includ-
ing such a theological one as has
now come to him.
I will not quote the old proverb
that fools can ask questions which
philosophers can not answer, for
neither am I a philosopher and
certain correspondents are not
fools, but, on the contrary, are
usually bright and thoughtful and
honestly DESTROYS Of having their
mental difficulties met
An inquirer writes me tonight
as follows: The Titanic disaster;
was it Gods will? Did God steer
the iceberg toward the Titanic, or
was it another of mans blunders ?"
In some way which no man can
precisely state, it was both.
The idea which we have Of God
is not satisfied, can not be satisfied
by supposing that there is anything
in the universe of nature or in that
of history over which he does not
exercise some kind of control
The Bible says that His king
dom is over ALL and It would not
be if there were anything left out
for which He had no responsibility.
But. while it is well enough to
theorize about all of that, His
business is not our business.
The thing He IS accountable for,
He will take care of in His own
way
Whatever He may have had to
do with the sinking of the Titanic
man had enough to do with It to
occupy his attention, and if he had
occupied his attention with it more
closely and faithfully than he did
it would not have sunk.
God and man constitute kind
of Co partnership in such matters
and it is easier to theologize about
them and to dream over Gods end
of the contract than it is to attend
in practical way to our ownend
AS soon as we are willing to set
tie down and be practical we have
no real difficulty with such
matter as my correspondent pro-
poses.
The officers of the Titanic were,
to this degree. responsible for the
wreck, that if they had done what
they ought to have done. and could
have done. had kept the boat down
to a proper speed and had steered
off to the south far enough to get
around the ice instead of going
humping into it. the bodies that
now lie at the bottom of the Allan
tic would be live men and women.

Here Is the Acid Test
of Any Man S Love.

I do not deny that there are real
tragedies in which married man,
tied to wife who is unworthy
or unoongenial, and for whom he
has no particle of affection. does
sometimes meet girl who is his
real soul mate, and for whom he
has an Overwhelming love But
such man, inspired by real and
honest love, would die before he
would hurt the girl. or compromise
her If his love can bring her
nothing but sorrow. he goes away
and leaves her.
The acid test Of q mans love for
woman Is whether it cherishes
and protects her or hurts her. Try
that. girls when married man
makes love to you ard youN send
him back to the home where ne
belongs.
