BOARD REcoNsiDERs VARIOUS TAXES.

Before the county commissioners
adjourned the January meeting yes
terday some important resolutions
were adopted.
One of the resolutions sets out the
fact that as the expenditures of Bur
leigh county are crowd:ng close to
the debt limit, and that large sums
due the county are uncollectable and
una available at the presen' time the
board believes that a more rigid sys-

management of the affairs of the
county and it was resolved that GER

deputies be reduced.
Tue resolution dispenses with the
assistant states attorney, the court
house janitor and clerk in the coun-

The county auditor is allowed but
one deputy and one clerk at $500
each per month, and the treasurer is
allowed but one deputy at $1,000 per

the five members of the county COM

Another resolution requires the

Would save
BATTLE FLAGS

WASHINGTON, Jan. GA deter
mined effort is being made by the
committee on memorials and exhibits
at the United States naval academy,
Annapolis, of which Commander w. C..
Cole, United States navy, is senior
member. to secure the appropriation
by congress of sum of money neces-
sary to secure the restoration and
preservation of the $50 battlef!ags
which have been taken in action by
the United States navy, and which
are stored at the academy. Thanks to
official neglect and lack of precautions
these flags have been allowed to go
to wreck and ruin, and unless some
thing is done speedily they will fall
to pieces.
The pity of this can be seen by an
inventory of them. Among them is
the British royal standard captured at
York, Canada. by Commodore Chaun-
cey in 1913, the only royal standard
ever captured by any nation from
Great Britain; the ensign of the
French frigate Insurgente, captured
by the frigate Constellation in 1899,
during our brief war with the French
directorate; the ensigns of the British
frigates Guerrero, Sayane, Java and
Macedonian, and CT the smaller war
vessels, Boxer and Frolic, together
with many colors taken during the
war of 1872 Every war in American
history is similarly represented by
f1orc in {hno mnm0rQtinV
achievements of American ships and
sailors.
Commander Cole has been provided
by congress with $4,000 for Installing
the flags in the exhibition cases pre-
viously provided for them; but they
had been so carelessly packed that
they had been eaten by moths. So
he delayed placing them on exhibition,
while he looked up means for preserv
ing them. Finall., through Ex-Gov-
ernor Guild of Massachusetts, who is
an expert on flag preservation, he
got in touch with Boston woman,
Mrs. Amelia Fowler, who is said to
know more about flag preservation
than any one else. She went to An

tattered colors, and then said that
they could be adequately preserved at
a cost of $4,000.
She proposed to use more or less
the same scheme as was employed by
the hand-maidens of the Duchess of
Normany, who made the wonderful
Bayeaux tapestry a thousand years
ago. That is =, she proposed to back
the flags with an especially fine WOW
en- Irish linen, upon which they are to
be sewed by expert needlewomen,
using silken thread and taking excep-
tionally fine stitches, in order that the
backing may not be apparent. The
material for carrying out this idea
will cost 81 500, and Mrs. Fowler thinks
the work will require the services of
100 needlewomen working 200 days,
which would make the labor cost $685.

Capitol Run

Just now the railroad commission
ers, who, by the way, have jurisdic'
ton over telephone companies oper'
ating in North Dakota, are receiving
reports from the different telephone
companies. The reports wanted by
the commission tell of the cost of the
lines, the charges for services, in
fact everything pertaining to the
lines. One thing that the telephone
company operating in Bismarck has
evidently overlooked in making its
report to the commission is the Csc
rebate charge demanded by this COM
pany of it's patrons. II seems to be
a common practice among nearly all
of the telephone companies to ask
for this extra two bite, but some OF
the companies have reported the mat
ter to the commission but the com
pany which operates the exchange in
Bismarck seems to have overlooked
this item. But the commission wants
to know about it.

MERE MATTER OF COURTESY

MERE MATTER OF COURTESY
The democrats of the national con-
gress have adopted program OF
economy. One OF the first moves
they made was to ask President Taft
to curtail his personal police guard.
Mr. Taft did so. wenty.one of the
White House policemen were fired,
leaving but twenty-four to guard the
chief executive from cranks, would
be assasins, and other undesirable
callers. Even if they may have no
great regard for the life of the pres.
idenr the democrats should at least
extend him that courtesy to which he
is entitled. and afford adequate pro
tecticn for him and the members OF
his household. Economy oft times
reaches the stage where one is pen
