THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

The movement to secure a new pub
lie building for Fargo is not a poIiti-
calquestion. 1t is not a measure started
just to get a handsome structure in
this city, or to give employment to ar
tisans here in its construction. Meth
er is the object to outshine some other
city with a larger and more attractive
structure than the other place may
have. 1t may also be said that it was
not started because Fargo desired to
participate in the pork barrel" as
appropriations for public buildings are
usually called.
The movement was ~inaugurated he
u the present structure is far too
small for the demands of the govern
ment at the present time-to say moth
ing of the growth of the future. If
these are to be provided for it is nee
essary to get this project started now.
1t is less than FIVE years since an adj
dition was completed to the present
structure, and the business has already
outgrown that. The site now occupied
is SO situated that only a little addi-
ton can be made to tiff he present
structure is retained. The present
building cannot be made convenient
for the work desired for it, by any adj
dition that could be made ever if more
land could be secured.
The only thing which seems ayaiIa-
bic is to either tear down the present
federal building and construct a new
n on this site, or to condemn and
sell it and build upon a larger site.
That is a detail which is best left to
the supervising architects office of the
treasury department.
In ten years the stamp sales of the
Fargo office have grown from $42, 900
to over $4,000 the deposits have in
creased from about $500, 900 to $1,000
600; the number of clerks and carriers
has increased largely in numbers, and
the government has added many new
distributing lines Of business to the To-
cal work. What will be the figures on
the business Of the Office ten years
hence2
The other departments of the govern
ment occupying the building are also
crowded. Judge Amidon, Clerk Mont
gomery and Attorney Engerud all
need more room. Not a week passes
but that the application Of some Official
Of the government for ONCE room has
to be turned down. Some of these OBJ
tain Office room elsewhere in this city,
and others go to other cities when they
learn that the government cannot fur
nisn them even desk room here. A
detailed estimate shows that outside oi
the p~ostoffice and its needs, $50 per
cent Of more ONCE room is needed in a
federal building in order to accommo-
date the other officials and ~appointees
Of Uncle sam who should be housed in
this structure.
Under these circumstances, is not
Fargo justified in at once asking the
government to use business sense and

Blue Monday.

When a Teller feels as funny as 8

When it seems as though his lot coulc
not be worse,
When his color is indigo,
And his mind is workin' slow.
And the bills are comm, due,
And his rolls gone up the hue,
And the hired girl has quit
And there's no coal in the pit
And his corn is raisin' Cain
And he's dizzy with the pain
And his boss has called him down
And his wife is out Of town
And is writin' home for checks
And he's trified with the decks
And has lost what dough he had
And he feels just like a cad
And the pipes are raising hob
And the plumbers on the job
And they've gone and raised his rent
And his friends are broke or bent
And his collar is too tight
And his clothing is a sight
And he needs a pair of shoes
And he owes his lodge some dues
And despair stalks all about
And his pipe has gone clean out
And some smiler comes along
With an optimistic song,
Does it lot help him a lot?
Yes, most surely, 1t does-not.

CAL COWBOYS-BIG WILD WEST
SHOW TO TAKE THE ROAD
SOON -- INITIAL PERFORMANCE
HERE.

A trip to the training grounds of
the Cooper Brothers Great West
ern Shows" is enough to convince
most anyone Of the attractive char
acter Of the performance this show
will exhibit when thoroughly
equipped. A number of bucling
bronchos are now at the training
quarters and the Coopers are get
ting additions to the equipment al
most every day. There are several
expert rope swingers and riders
there now, including Mr.. West, Mr.
Mace and Mr.. Mccoy, who have no
equals in the profession for clever
riding and lassoing Of and from
bucking horses. An exhibition was
given today, witnessed by a large
crowd. 1t is a sight well worth see
ing to witness the buclking horses
struggle vainly to dlslodge their rid
Oi liOhl tuO bduulSS. INC men
would throw the lasso so as to
catch the horses in almost every
conceivable way and soon bring them
to submission, after which the saddle
would be "cinched", the rider mount,
and the broncho do his best to throw
him, but without avail. A broncho
bucks and jumps without regard as
to where he is going and once an
animal charged through a crowd Of
bystanders, scattering them like
sheep. Buck Ware had the narrow
est escape Of all and II created a
great deal of merriment, especially
after 1t was all over and no one was
hurt Buck did everything but turn
somersault and climb tree. There
was no trees to climb and as to why
the somersault was not turned no
one knows. Suffice 1t to say Buck
enjoyed the performance as much as
the rest, even though the incident
referred to made things a little un-
comfortable for him for a while.
The largest portion of the actors
and horses has not yet arrived, so
that rehearsals cannot be yet had in
full, but as soon as few more are
received, rehearsals will be held
every day. When the show is ready
to start, It will give It's initial per-
formance here and will go south a
short distance, then double back and

OBJECTS TO
POSITION ON
SINGLE TAX

10 The Editor: In a recent issue
OF your paper is published a news
Item chronicling the organization of
the Marion County Taxpayers League.
The league purports to be formed
TO reduce taxes and secure better
management of public affairs. All
well and good. But, the fourth clause
OF the obligation pledges the men,
bers ITO oppose with all my might
the single tax, which in itself is vic
ious and confiscatory."
1t is passing strange that a body
formed to effect a regulation of tax
alton should set itself up in opposi-
tlno to the only plan offered that
will relieve the burden of taxation
now placed on industry and thrift,
and place it on privilege.
The Single tax" Community value
tax" would be more nearly correct)
simply proposes that we stop pen
alizing industry for the benefit of
land spectators and dogs in the
manger."
A concrete example:
In Salem's early days Verani pere
bought the plot Of ground at State
and Liberty, paying 100000 therefor
He and his family had profitable use
thereof for many years, and last year
the property sold for $S7,5OO.OO. 1t
Is safe to say that the improvements
did not cost more than $75OOOO. The
Verani heirs are thus ahead 100000
that was produced by the commun-
ity' Would it be vicious and con-
fiscatory" to take this community
wealth for community uses?
The state of Oregon and every
community in it is boosting" for i'm
provements, but every time a prop
erty owner makes an improvement,
the assessor comes along and, act
ing as the agent of the community,
fines him therefor,
The plea is raised that 1t is unjust
to tax land and let improvements and
personal property go free. In the
last analysis, no man has perfect
moral title to land to the exclusion
of others. Man cannot produce land
But he can produce by his labor, and
in no other way, personal property
and improvements in, on and under
the land. If he have possession Of
any such that he has not given an
equivalent for require him to make
restitution, but so long as the COM
munity creates wealth sufficient to
meet community needs, there is no
justification for taxing any other form
Of wealth.
Such act may be likened to the
father of two abled-bodied sons, who
requires one son to turn over a por-
tion of his earnings. The father
after subtracting a portion for his own
needs, passes the balance on to the
other son to live on in idleness.
Every form Of oppression and in
justice has had its honest defenders,
but future generations will charlt-
ably smile at the memory of such or
ganizations as the Marion County
Taxpayers League, as we now smile
at the story of that king of olden
time who sat himself upon the sands
and commanded the tides to be still
