contribution BY CANDl,
DATES FORBIDDEN BY LAW
Attorney General Rules That Candi-
dates Can't Contribute Under
Corrupt Practice Act.

Bismarck; Sept. 30.-No man VINO
is a. candidate for office or elected to
Office can contribute to his cam
paign fund and if he does he is sub
ject to fine and imprisonment and
expulsion from Office.
Such is the substance of an opin-
ion handed down by Attorney Cen
eral Miller late this afternoon re-
garding that part of the, corrupt
practice act touching campaign con-
tributions.
Just what will be done by the cen
trail committee to obtain funds rem
mains to be seen. The question had
been put to the attorney general by
a number of candidates who had
been asked to contribute the usual
amount to the expenses for carrying
on a general campaign in the state.
In closing his answer to the inquiry
of the candidates, Mr.. Miller said:
''In my opinion, the provision or
the section so clearly and unquali-
fiedly prohibits any candidate or
elected person from making any such
payment that there is no room Tor
any other view. Section 13 makes
one violating this section guilty OF
corrupt practices and section ~ pro-
vides that if any person is guilty OF
corrupt practices he should be pun
ished and deprived Of the office to
which he is elected and under Sec
ton 21 the punishment for violating
this act is imprisonment for not more
than six months or fine Of $1,000, or
both.
.The entire act is most radical
and sweeping, and you are advised
that a contribution such as you con-
template is in direct violation OF that
law, and If prosecuted therefor you
would be subject to the penalties
above mentioned"

"Mr. John Il. deSaulles, Treasurer
Woodrow Wilson College Mems
League.
Dear Sir-The communication
from your Harvard Department
asking for contribution to the Wood
row Wilson campaign fund or. in
lieu thereof, suggestions, is received.
my failure to contribute IS not
at all from any lack of esteem for
Gov. Wilson. He is an eminent rep
resentative of the scholar in politics
Of whom Princeton men are justly
proud.
.'But as a Harvard man, feel
constrained to give ali the support
within my power to that son of Yale
whose sturdy, judicial and states
manlike qualities, as demonstrated
by his record in public Office, have
made him, beyond all other presi-
dental candidates, the exponent Of
that spirit Of Harvard which is sig
nif1ed in it's motto, 'Veritas.'
Because Of his unfiinching adher-
ence to truth, President Taft de-
serves the support Of every Harvard
man. He has steadfastly refused to
compromise with error. He has kept
in the straight course dictated only
by wise and deliberate Judgment. un-
influenced by any selfish. interests OF
by any mere policies or parties or
persons. He has been true to his
friends and true to his noble princi-
pies and high sense Of duty.
''Mr. Taft has fought and IS still
flehting for the cause Of good gov
sernment, for the cause Of progress
and reform under our constitution.
He stands today, in greater meas
sure than does any other living per-

tional government against impracti-5

CASH PAYMENT OF
HIGHWAY TAXES
SURE REMEDY FOR PRESENT
ANTIQUATED SYSTEM OF
ROAD WORK IN THIS
STATE.

State Engineer T. r. Atkinson will
make an active campaign for new
good roads laws in North Dakota at
the next session of the legislature,
for no subject is attracting more at
tention than the improvement of our
road conditions. In the recent in
spection trip over the Meridian road
the. needs of North Dakota from the
good roads standpoint stood out in
no uncertain manner. State Engi-
neer Atkinson in an interview point
ed out some pertinent facts regard
ing road improvement in North Da-
kota. He said:
zone Of the most notable facts in
connection with the Meridian road
inspection trip was that where the
best roads were found it was al
ways discovered that public spirit
ed, patriotic men were responsible
for their condition. Invariably,
where men of this type had not used
their. time, money and influence in
forwarding the enterprise, it was
found that the road was but a little
better than the ordinary country
road.
THAT the highway laws of our
own state are worse than the high
way laws of many states is we'll
known to all, and that the admins
tration of these laws that we have
is way behind what it should be,
is also true.
Zone of the most glaring faults
of our present highway laws is the
antiquated system of working out
the highway taxes. 1t is not neces-
sarysto relate here how the working
out works out" It i sig 81. too we'll
known. to everybody who has seen
it worked. There are exceptional
cases where it is found that full
value for the cash value. Of the tax
is received in labor performed.
'Our laws must be changed to
provide for the cash payment of all
highway taxes, before we can expect
much better road conditions in this
state, although an awakened public
sentiment is working wonders in
some localities, and this same pub
lie sentiment, which is constantly
increasing, is. going to demand the
cash payment of highway taxes.
zone Of the reasons why our road
conditions are not better is the be-
lief of many who have the care of
the roads that all there is to a good
road is the construction of the same.
Good construction is the first essen
tial, but good maintenance is fully
as important. The greatest reason
why they have such better roads in
the European countries than we
have in America, is their effective
administration and maintenance.
In these older countries they have a
centralized administrative system.
"The experience of our own states
proves that the greatest progress is
made in the construction and main
tenance OF better roads when the
control is provided for by admins
trative machinery, having its head
in state commission who exercises
a supervisory authority over the
county and township road officers" "

SAY TARIFF REDUCTION.
WOULD NOT HELP.
10 REDUCE THE PRICE OF. -dAT
TO AMERICAN CON-
sUMERs.

q Chicago, Sept. -Notwithstand-
ing the claim of one of the political
parties that the tariff is responsible
Tor the high cost Of meat, it is de-
clared by practical men that such is
not the case. They assert that
reduction of tariff duties on meat
would not have any appreciahle ef-
feet at all, as there is not enough
foreign beef coming to the country
to supply even one of the great cit,
les with cheaper meat for any length
Of time. There was meeting of
the members of the International
Stewards association last night at
one of the large restaurants of Chi
cago, where demonstration of
the meat question was given to
prove the assertion that hotels and
cafes make no money on beef. The
man who makes more than 80 cents
on thirty orders of roast beef is a
genius. That is what the stewards
say.
"A forty pound piece of rib beef
was bought for $10.80. Seven pounds
of the short ribs were trimmed of
before the roast went into the oven.
Eight pounds were lost in cooking.
The twenty-five pounds were then
put on the table and carved. The
result was:
"A orders of roast beef at60c $14.40
orders of short ribs at 45c. 1876
4 orders of hash at soc. $3.50. 200
4 beef sandwiches at 35c. LAO

and aneidenta1s which restaurants
figure at AZ per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts, or $s.o4, left a net preflt OF
81 cents.
It was admitted that under ordi-
nary conditions such a roast would
be allowed to stand for an hour and
half before carving, in order that
it might "set." and it was figured
that If this was done three more or
ders of roast beef at so cents could
be cut from it. The total profit
would thus be $2.11, If nothing were
wasted and nothing we're lost.
The stewards thought they had
found a remedy in the tariff on beef
cattle. It was argued SO, effectively
at the annual convention in Toronto
last month that the price of beef was
due to the tariff, that it was deeid-
ed to spend money to lobby for it's
abolishment.
Says Tari0 Isn't to Blame.
]. A. Hill, former manager of the
Transit house at the stockyards.. en-
deavored to explode this notion. He
argued that taking the tariff of beef
cattle would have no effect at all, or
an unfortunate one.
''The Argentine ships good deal
Of beef to England" Mr.. Hill said.
"But could not ship enough to sup
ply one-half the demand Of the New
York market IL the tariff were taken
of. I doubt If the United States
would get any Argentine beef It the
tarift were taken OF. The fact is,
England has such trade relations
with the Argentine that it can buy
beef there cheaper than we can ship
it. We might make England pay
more If we became competitor for
Argentine beef, but that is all.
England ships manufactures back to
Argentine in the ships that bring the
beef to England.
.'But II we remove the tariff we
may scare the American farmer into
producing less beef than he does
now. That would be q calamity.
The reason beef is high is because
the production has fallen of 10 per
cent in period during which the
population has increased 21 per cent.
The country that used to be cattle
country is now being cut UP into
farms. They are raising grain and
citrus fruit in Texas, instead Of
steers. The same thing. is begin
ming to happen ia the Argentine. 1.

museums where they saw snakes, ami
mails, and many other Curiosities While
they were in the tent where the big

patted him on the head and as a re-

when we went to the Roulette the
boys stafd here for about a half an

and they all went home. One boy lost
