If all the Good Fellows who did so
much to make Christmas day day OF
rejoicing for poor children in the city
of Fargo and city of MOorhead had
been at the .Orpheum theatre yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock they would
have seen that the money which they
expended in that line was about the
best money they ever spent in their
lives.
When The Forum a few weeks ago
announced the Good Fellow movement
in this city and MOOrhead the paper
did not know what great results would
be brought about.
The idea was to have a number Of
men in the city form themselves into
a sort of a committee each to see that
some child was properly cared for in
the way Of Christmas cheer, for it was
known that there were hundreds of
youngsters in the city who wouldn't
have much of Christmas unless
someone other than their own cOnnec-
ton, provided it for them.
1t was for this purpose that the
Good Fellow. movement was started,
and it didn't take long to get that idea
thoroughly imbued in the minds Of the
men and women of the cities.
The very day after this paper an
nOunced that. The Forum would take
charge Of the Christmas tree entertain
ment for the poor children of the city
there were calls on the phone from
many who volunteered to be a good
fellow" at least for this occasion and
the cash began coming in, until a good
sum was realized. In some instances
the Good Fellow went into the business
himself Of providing for the child that
was allotted to him, with the result
that his" particular child had the best
that was going.
Making the Arrangements.
Manager Fowler of the Orpheum
theatre was seen and he agreed to do
nate the theatre. the stage hands, the
orchestra and Miss Evelyn Dare will
ingly gave their. services for the OC-
casion and everything went along nice
ly. Cards were issued by The Forum
after an investigation, by ladies and
gentlemen Of the two cities and these
cards entitled the holder to free ride
soyl the street car rto-apd~ from the
theatre. this being the street car peo-
pies donation. 1t also entitled the
holder to a seat in the theatre and to
the presents that were his or hers

Detroit, Dec. 26.-The kellogg Toasted
Corn Flake Co. is alleged to be violat-
ing the Sherman, law in d petition in
equity, filed in the United States dis
trict court here today by order of At
torney General Wickersham to settle
for all time. the extent to which the
manufacturer may control retail prices.
The company and it's officers engag-
ed in the manufacture, of Kellogg S
Toasted Corn Flakes are charged with
fixing the prices at which the flakes
are sold to retailer and consumer, pre-
venting competition which would re-
duce the price, and creating a monopo-
ly by concentrating the. entire inter
state traffic in this commodity in hands
of jobbers and retailers who abide by
the price agreements exacted by the
defendants. at '.-.
1t is alleged the defendants have in
voked the patent laws through the use
of the patented carton in which the
flakes are packed as a mere subter-
fuge and device" to escape the, provi-
sions of the Sherman law. The govern
ment asks for injunctions. to prevent
the company from controlling the
prices after the fakes leave, the hands

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 26.-It was

With the forty men accused by the
government as having full guilty

spiracy to- transport dynamite and

sengeri trains, Judge Anderson has in
timated he will give, specific instruc-
tions as to certain defendants. ..
The court will not see punished any
man whom 1t knows to be innocent .

But others must take the conse-
quences. This is not a trial of labor
unions. but of the labor union officials
accused of wrong doing. 4..-.-. ,,.
Because OF the mass Of evidence the
jury must review, and the fact that a
separate verdict must be returned for
each defendant; it is not believed the
results will be reported in less than
twenty -four hours. All the ,verdicts
must be reported, at one time -,

Attended by riots, assaults and even
attempts to kill, this great conspiracy
against the employees who refused to
recognize the union, grew until 1t
reached the murder stage at Los An

Claim Much Personal .
Property Is Not Taxed
Tax c." sion Makes Public the Third nsta1ment Of It's
n Biennial Report and Gives More Sensational
" Figures Regarding Taxation

\
Bismarck, / "a Dec. 26.--In their
I t1rst report to\ = Vernon and legis-
lature the Nort pta tax commits
sion demonstrat "a mass of
statistics that pI e I'm the aggre
gate is being ass q at from Is to
20 per cent of ii alTvalue' and
; that a great mass ,srsonal property
is escaping taxation all together. One
remedy recommended is the adoption
of the classification amendment to the
constitution and another is the county
assessor system. They point out that
the trend of the age in all the admins
trative departments of government IS
toward the Capitalization of authority
in the hands of a few officials, who
can be held directly responsible either
to the executive or to the people them
selves, and that the multiplicity of
officials each clothed with little
administrative undertaking, whether
public or private.
In all the range of the American
system of government there is nothing
more ludricious than our attempts at
listing taxable property. In North
Dakota this year we elected 1,445 as
SCISSORS and empowered them to list
and appraise property in their re-
spective taxing districts, placing over
uO central IIllS ndS
been the mode of assessment since
statehood A large number of asses
sors are elected, instructed to list and
appraise the taxable property. No
official has the power to enforce. his
views upon them and they go forth
and appraise property with as many
standards of ratio and as many
theories of value as there are asses
sors. This results in an assessment
which is anything but uniform and in
tax burden unjust and unequitabie.
It is the contention of the commission
that unless property is listed at its
true value, or a uniform ratio Of it's
true value. that it is utterly impos-
sible for any board of equalization to
remedy the defect.
"The inefectiveness of the present
method of appraisement," says the re-
Fort, was shown b5 replies received
to inquiries sent out shortly after the
organization Of this commission. The
ratios of appraisement to the true
value of taxable property as shown bv
the replies were most astounding,
ranging from nothing to rs per cent
One assessor in Williams county

he was returning property for taxation

Washington, Dec. 26.-An explosion
which occurred while President Taft
was attending a dance given in his
honor last night, is reported in the dis
patches to the Panama legation here
today to have been the outgroWth of
business rivalry between two mer-
chants in the vicinity. The dispatches
state the explosion occurred outside the
district traversed by the president,
which was guarded by a line of police
from the station to the, National the
atre.
While President Taft was at the
dance an explosion occurred at De Les
seps plaza, in front of the Hotel Tivoli,
and blew up the news stand at the sta
tion,' says the dispatch to the lega
ton. The case of the explosion lis be-
iieved to have been jealousy and re-
venge between two Spanish rivals in
business"
Minister Valdez gave out at the ie-
cation here today the official reports
from his government, stating that the
minister of foreign affairs had report
ed that the matter was presented to
Taft, who was convinced the explosion
had been in no way connected with his
presence in the city.
Trouble About Goethals.
1t was understood before President
Taft left Washington on his present
visit to Panama that the only element
of uncertainty in appointing Colonel
Goethals to be governor of the canal
zone was the consent of that offfcer
himself, the salary of the new office
being $1,000 less than the compensa.-
ton he is now receiving as the head OF
the canal committee.
So anxious has Colonel Goethala
been, however, to crown his work OF
the canal construction with the estab-
lishment Of a permanent government
way and look after the small army OF
employees who will remain In the canal
zone, that it was understood by his
friends here that he was prepared TO

destroyed the building of the Minot
Foundry Co, while the city was

The principal water main of the
city broke early Wednesday morning
and the city has been without water
