DEMOCRATIC INCOMPETENCE
AND HYPOCRISY AS To Ia
RIFF REDUCTION.

The Washington Post, In a long
and thoughtful editorial reviewing
the political situation. especially with
reference to the question OF the re-
duction of certain tariff schedules, ex-
presses surprise at the position taken
by the Democratic leaders OF the
House. 1t points out the oft-declared
desire Of the Democratic leaders TO
secure a reduction OF tariff duties on
every occasion when the same could
be secured and as much reduction as
it was possible TO secure.
The Post then points out the ma
terial reductions that could be made
at once in the tariff schedules, based
on the facts set forth in the Official
report OF the Tariff Board, which
furnishes the figures to show the cost
OF labor and the cost of production
on various lines OF important articles
here and abroad.
The Post says that If the Demo
cratic leaders are sincere in trying to
secure such a substantial reduction
in the tariff rates, that they would
prepare and pass a bill containing
such reductions, which reductions
have been recommended by the Tariff
Board and by the President, and
which they know would pass both
Houses and be signed by the Presi- !
dent. The Post points out that the
Democratic leaders Of the House, in
stead Of taking such action when the
Presidents message was sent to Con- |
gress, at once announced that they
would not favor bills making such
reductions, but that they would take
up other schedules and prepare tariff :
bills and make radical reductions on
items not reported on by the Tariff
Board.
not only surprising. because it shows
that the Democratic leaders are not
sincere in their desire to reduce
rates in the tariff bill where they are
sure that such reductions can be
made, but that they are playing a
simple game of politics, and a game
so transparent that it cannot profit
them anything.
In concluding this editorial, the
Post says:
But although the road is !,
clear, and the President is ready. !!
there is little likelihood of ac-
ton. How can the interests of
the public be considered when a
great political game is being
played? The voters at the next
election will answer that ques-
ton by deciding what man has
been most sincere and loyal in
his sense of public duty"

TAX LAW FOR N. OAK.

Valley City.-North Dakota is to
have an up-to-date Inheritance tax
law if the legislature adopts the re-
port of the committee appointed by
Governor Burke to recodify the pro-
bate laws of the state Geo. E. Wal
lace, the subcommittee appointed for
the drafting of such code. has COM
pleted his labors and has ready re-
port to the legislature, law modelled
upon that of the Wisconsin code
which will carry an increase of rev.
enue to the state from that source.
The present inheritance tax law is
based only on collateral lines of de-
scent and as revenue bearing scheme
is all but failure. The proposed
laws drafted by Mr.. Wallace provide:

BIG RANCH IS SOLD.
The Verified Goes into Nem Hands
VIM. Bahm, Owner.

Dlckinson.-A transaction has been
closed whereby William Balm be.
came the owner of the Merifield ranch,
known in early days as the Roberts
ranch. ten miles south of Medora on
the Little Missouri river. The deal
includes all cattle on the range, all
decided and leased land, farming tools
and machinery, including a ten horse
power engine put in some years ago
for irrigation purposes, but which pro-
)ect was never pushed to completion.
The cattle are figured at $3.50 per
head, to be turned over after the
spring roundup
G. G. Mead has had cattle on this
range for several years, being looked
after by Mr.. Merifield, but the stock
will be sold the coming season. Will
, liam and Miss Jane Merifield came
down from Montana some ten years
, ago. having been in Wyoming> and
Montana good many years They
have no definite plans for the future,
but are keeping their little bunch of
stock horses, and will likely find
some place where they can run them
to good advantage.
William Balm came up from the
Big Missouri river country several
years ago, with his brother Charles
Balm. bringing their horses and cat
tie with them and establishing q
ranch above the H. T. ranch, and
successfully handling stock there un-
q nff1 ~e %1,oI
cessitated change of location.
William Balm is son-in-laW of
j.. Telley who bought the J. B. Har-
| mon ranch year ago, and, as these
ranges are contiguous by working to-
| gether they have about as good a
proposition for cattle range as any
| now left on the Little Missouri river
These ranches. in the center of the
Bad Lands are, in fact, part of the
| original Theodore Roosevelt Maltese
Cross ranch, and Chimney Butte. ia
NOUS in story, still stands towering
just head above any other pinnacle
| in that locality. Several, sections of
the Chimney Butte ranch are now
! owned by Mrs. 0. ]. DeLendrecie of
Fargo and have been looked after by
w. H. Merifield. Mrs. DeLendrecie
has in mind the building of fine
! house on the original Roosevelt
building site and not long since
! wrote Mr.. Merifield relative to it.
AS many of our readers know, the
Roosevelt ranch south of Medora
passed into the hands of S. M. Ferris,
of Dickinson and J. A. Ferris of Sid
ney, Mont, previous to Mrs. Defend
recie's ownership. The original
Roosevelt log cabin, erected by the
former president on this place, was
taken to the worlds fair at ST. Louis,
and is now located on the capitol
grounds at Bismarck.
1t should be mentioned here that
William Balm has acquired the Meri-
field land holdings on the Little Mis-
souri, bottom for the purpose of de.
veloping the irrigating project, said
to be one OF the best places anywhere
on the river for this purpose. There
are 100 acres under fence and the
land can all be irrigated and sown to
alfalfa with profit

Head of Government Schools
Gives Interesting Data.
Went to Alaska In 1seo-Desoribes
Experiences In Dealing With Sup

Now Raise Reindeer.

Washington.-A few days ago
short. stocky man with a quiet man.
ner, skin Drowned by much outdoor
life, and the steady eye of one used
to looking across great distances,
came to Washington with such small
fuss that 1t was more than a week
before the reporters were aware of
his presence at all. He is w. T. Lopp,
head of the governments school sys-
tenn for Eskimos, and man who has
spent most of his life since 1890 in
Alaska, seldom coming out" as he
calls trip down to the states.
Lopp was Hoosier schoolmaster,
a boy juts out of college, when the
government sent him and another
young man up to Cape Prince of
Wales on Bering Strait to start an
Eskimo school. He expected to re-
main only two years.
When he went up he and his part
ner were the only white men living in
all of northern Alaska. They went
alone into district where the natives
were so dreaded that whalers would
not put into port, even for haven in
a storm.
"We had some trouble with them at
first, but we insisted on having our
way. When they saw we were abso-
lutely just and fair with them, their
attitude changed.
"That first winter we learned that
the Eskimos wanted to own reindeer,
but that the revenue officers would
not permit the importation. Some of
the natives even owned reindeer in
the Siberian herds across the straits.
And it seemed shame that they
were forbidden to bring their property
across from Asia, so near that the
Siberian heights could be seen over
the water on clear days.
eve appealed to Washington for
permission to import reindeer. But
other government agents had preceded
us in this request. Before we had a
reply from our letter that summer q
revenue cutter put into port with a
shipment of reindeer on board. We
were overjoyed to know that the pro-
hibition of the law had been removed
and set about getting more.
in 1892 came the first large i'm
portation. We brought in 1900 that
year and from these grew the present
herd, scattered throughout Alaska and
numbering over $4,000.
"The reindeer policy was gradually
evolved We impress upon the Lapps
and Eskimos that the reindeer are ex-
clusively their property and care. For
instance, they are not allowed to sell
female reindeer to white men, so that
the brood animals are to be perpetu-
ally in the custody and ownership Of
the natives.
"The herders are free to breed their
animals and sell their calves or stock
of any age or sex to the other natives.
REINDEER are food, clothing and
transportation to the natives"
