MORE BROS.

This firm Is one Of the largest implement
firms in the state of North Dakota. They
are state agents for several makes of
automobiles, threshing machines, Hart-Parr
gas tractors, engines, etc. The firm was
organized In 1895, and consisted Of J. l..
More and A. Y. More. Upon the death Of
A. Il. More, who was the manager OF the
Fargo office, A.. Y. More took charge of
this office and made Fargo their head
quarters for all the state business, in
stead Of Wimbledon, which had been their
former headquarters. They are located in
their building at AT Front street.
Each year has shown a steady growth in
the business and they occupy a large four
story and basement building, which is fully
equipped for all their needs. They employ
about fifteen men at Fargo, including road
statesmen. This was the first firm to In
troduce gas tractor engines into North
Dakota and are steady pushers for the best
interest of the farmers throughout the
state. They brought the use of gas tractor
engines to the front by persistent advertis-
ing and demonstration, in spite of the
strong opposition of steam engine manu-
facturers. They have a large branch house
at Wimbledon, and in nearly every town
of the state they have agents representing
them. This large business started in a
little hardware store at Wimbledon, North
Dakota, in 1893 with A. Y. More and ]. L.
More as co-partners; adding machinery,
automobiles, gas tractors, feeders and
threshing machines since that time, and
their annual business now mounts to over
$500, 600.

NORTH DAKOTA WEAVING CO.

This firm are manufacturers Of rugs, car
pets, silk portieres and fancy rugs. They
do carpet cleaning, repairing, etc. The
Fargo plant was established Jan. 1, 1910, at
1421 Fifth venue south, Fargo, N. D., by
]. A. Marquette, a Fargo boy who gained
his education In the public schools of this
city. Beginning in a small way, Mr.. Mar
quette gradually pushed business up, until
the second year doubled the business Of the
first year, and the first half of this year
still shows the same remarkable growth.
The firm Is equipped to do all kinds of
work in their line, having three, large car
pet ooms and an automatic carpet cleaner
and steadily employ three men, who are ex-
perts in their line of work. In their COM
petitive business they have been able to Sc
cure several large carpet orders, one OF
the most important Of which was the
furnishing of the rugs for the Jordan hotel
at Glendiye, Mont, the largest single order
ever placed in that state; also for the
Fort Totten Indian school at Devils Lake,
for which they made about 500 yards of
carpet and rugs. Their fancy rugs and
Ingram rugs took first prize at the North
Dakota state fair. At the Home Products
show in this city they had an elegant
booth, which won favorable comment from
all of the visitors. Mr.. Marquette, the
manager requests the public at any time
to call and inspect his plant, and he viii
be more than pleased to show the way in
which he handles the business entrusted
to them.

Fargo State Fair For 1912

There is one institution which
which stands out pre-eminently in
the minds of the people OF the whole
state as being essentially their own
property and that is the annual state
fair which is held in nearly every
state in the union in one city. North
Dakota, in this respect, is different
from most other states in holding her
fall exposition in two separate cities
on alternate years, which makes It
necessary to keep up two distinctive
fair plants. Although this is the
case, so enterprising is the spirit OF
the citizens of the two cities desig-
mated as the official fair cities that
the plants in North Dakota would be
creditable as permanent structures 70
any state in the country. The build
ings at Fargo are very c~ommodious
and this year a large number of inn
provements will be made TO them to
accommodate the entries already being
made, although the fair is yet two
months away.
Secretary Talcott says that his plans
this year contemplate n of the best
agricultural exhibits and machinery
expositions V e held in the confines
OF the state. The race programme
promises to be exceptionally interest
ing this year, while a number Of new
and varied attractions have been Sc
cured for the entertainment OF the
people while waiting for the various
heats to be pulled off.
The shows will be larger this year
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-04-11

day during the exposition.
In the women's building a special
effort will be made by Mr.. Talcott to
secure a fine exhibit of the house
wives handy work, needle craft, fancy
work, painting and in the various d.
ties which devolve upon her in pre-
pairing the food for the family.
In the stock pavilions extra good
premiums are offered, and with the
increase of growing of fine stock IN
North Dakota, it is a practical GER
tainty that every stall will be filed
with the best animals from the local
stockmen's barns.
While our fair comes somewhat
early in the opinion of some people,
yet it is possible to make it one of The
best affairs in the northwest country,
and if every n will do a little to
boost it, there is 10 doubt but what
it will oyershadow any exposition ever
held here. Aside from bringing large
numbers of people to town, the fair
serves a very decided educational pur-
pose in bring to the minds of the
farmer the many implements con-
structed for their convenience and as
sistance, and also in getting the peo-
pie of the state acquainted with one
another, and with the business inter
ests of the community wherein it is
held.
We have the booster spirit now well
developed in Fargo, and each one of
Us should do all that is in u power
to boost the state fair this year. 1t
will be a great credit to this city, if
upon the close Of the gates, we can
say that it was the largest, best con-
Quoted, most successful and gave
the most pleasure to the people who
visited Fargo during its continuance
here Of any exposition aver held ia
the state.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-04-11

than ever before. and there will be
something doing every minute during
the four days of the fair. The people
of the state should make all of their
arrangements to spend at least four
days in Fargo this fall, because the
state fair is distinctively a state in
stitution n deserves the patronage
Of every citizen within her borders.
We have this year a live wire for
secretary in the person of MI. Tai
colt, and he is working every minute
Of his time to see that the exposition
is not a failure in any particular. The
grounds are admirably located near
the agricultural college, making 1t
within easy walking distance, and
making it also possible to visit the
fair, and also view the great educa-
tional institution Of the state one and
the same time.
The race programme this year will
contain $1,000 and $500 purses, which
makes 1t practically a surety that all
of the best horses in the country will
be seer on the local track.
In the machinery exhibits this year
many new features will be shown by
the branch houses located in Fargo,
and in some cases the parent organ-
izations will send their new 1913 mod
els for exhibition. This exhibit is al
ways of great interest to the farmer,
who a to depend entirely upon ma
chinery, in order to care for the large
farms of the state, and no doubt the
machinery hall will be thronged every

THE UNCOLLECTED TAXES

To what extent should tax collec- tor press the collection of a tax? This question becomes pertinent by reason of the agitation in the Board of Ap- portionnent and Taxation for an i'm mediate and early 7 collection of all taxes, by tho use of legal force if necessary.
 But the city is not a usurer. The city is not even a harsh creditor. The city does not demand it's pound O. flesh upon the spot. The attitude of the city toward tax creditors is not the result of anybodys7 passing whim, or fancy. It is based upon law, and the law is based upon lessons of char ity and wisdom which governments have been hundreds of years learn ing.
 The law itself does not contemplate that every man will be able to pay his taxes onz specific date. The law does not intend to collect taxes, fror.I the poverty stricken and the financial Iy helpless. The law does not set up a rigid standard for collection.
 A date is fixed when all taxes be- come due. Any taxes not paid upon this date bear interest at per cent. per annum. The placing of a lien is provided for certain property. At the end of three years these liens must be turned over to the city attorney for collection.
 In the case of those unable to pay their taxes provision is made for an investigation by the Common Coun- ciI, and if the facts warrant rebate Is granted.
 On occasion. 1t may become neces- sary for the collector to act promptly. as where some owner of personal property may design to leave the city without paying his proper tax.

 The financial institutions of the country, its banks, trust companies and insurance companies. are con- ducted under strict statutory regu a. tion. They are subject to frequent visitation and inspection by state, or federal officers, or both. They live in glass houses. Theoretically their operations should be in plain view. Practically there is more than a sus- picion that it is otherwise.

fairs, from Washington, and that this free trade between the states m ust be more and more restricted by orders from Washington.
 ''I had rather have my state make the laws which govern me in the ordinary relations of daily life than to have congress make them. Con gress knows less of what is needed in Connecticut and for Connecticut than our general assembly does.
 The governor thought congress had more important matters to consider. He urged that American ocean ship ping under the American az be re- stored, and that obsolete navigation laws be repealed.
 Let us allow the American to buy ships where he can buy them cheap est and then when he enters them un- der the Am erican flag, give them spe- cial privileges or allowances. Then we start in the race for ocean freight1 on equal terms with England and the world. Now we do not.
 ''One more thing out Of many that could mention: The government of the United States has stripped our state bsnKs of their greatest privi- !ege, that of issuing circulating cur rency. It was justified by the para mount object of having one form of paper currency for the entire country, resting on the resources of the entire country.
 '- 2uF [ will tell you what was not justified by any necessity. It was the act of cOngre $ which has of late years put every mOneyed corporation - every state. under the inspection taxation by the United States. It Is not a burdensome tax at present. But it may be doubled or ten folded any day, if congress pleases.''
