News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
PRESENT Law FAvORS CANADA
Petitions Ask That Five-Year Term Of
Residence on Claims Be Short
ened to Three.

Great interest in the proposed
amendment to the homestead laws is
manifested by residents of Western
North Dakota. Many letters and pc
titions have been sent to Washington
representatives asking them to use
their influence to C a modification
of the homestead requirements. The
stand is taken that the present law
requiring five years actual residence
is DETECTING the stream of new settlers
to Canada, where the residence is but
three years.
Men who have made five-year proof,
even under the older and more liberal
laws, are emphatic in their assertion
that any one who has lived five years
on a government claim has paid a
liberal price for the land.
The person who takes up a 160-acre
government claim with the idea of
making five-year proof Ohe shortest
time possible under the present law
must be prepared to put five years of
actual residence on the land and in
order to do this he must have capital
enough to erect necessary buildings
and begin farming operations on a
rather extensive scale. He must either
have horses and machinery, seed grain
and feed, or the money with which to
buy them, and in addition he must
have the means to feed and clothe
himself and family until a crop is
harvested.
FT1ic. oononc thnt n 0nn61u a M M of
capital must be possessed by any one
who expects to make a success of
demonstrating under present laws.
Hence the man with little means must
either forego his homestead right or
else assume heavy obligations to mon
ey lenders, banks, merchants, etc., and
the final outcome is that the home
stead is mortgaged, at the time proof
is made, for all it will carry. Then in
terest rates and taxes are high and
help, machinery and general expenses
are above those of older settled com
munities.
The result is the homestead-farmer
finds himself unable to meet his obi
cations and the mortgage is foreclosed
and the farm, with it's improvements,
reverts to the capitalist and thus
defeats the very object for which the
%dve-year law was created.
The prospective homesteader sees
at a glance that the comparative merit
Of the American and Canadian home
stead laws are far more favorable to
his interest in the latter country.
Senator Hanna's bill to amend the
homestead law to three years resi-
dence is favorably regarded by citi-
zens of this commonwealth.

FARGO Candidate Withdraws.

R. S. Lewis, former state senator
and lieutenant governor, who announc-
ed his candidacy for mayor of Fargo
before going on a trip to Florida and
Cuba, writes hat he has reconsidered
the question and finds his personal af-
fairs will occupy all his time. He
thinks the best interests of Fargo will
not be promoted by having a three cor
nered contest. The other candidates
are J. j. Jordan and W. D. Sweet. The
latter was mayor for one term some
years ago and is a retired manufactur-
or. Mr.. Jordan 10 an old time news

NO CHANGE In NORTH DAKOTA
~Progressives Say CoIonePs Candidacy
Will Spur on La Toilette Men.

ProgreSSlveS say ColonefS Candidacy
Will Spur on La Toilette Men.
The advent Of Theodore Roosevelt
as an active candidate into the fight
for the presidency, made certain by
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement, will make
no difference in the attitude of the
progressive party in North Dakota,
according to statements OF the party
leaders. On the contrary, it is their
opinion that the declaration of Roose-
welt has lessened materially his popu-
larity in North Dakota and hence his
chance for the nomination.
II cannot see where Mr.. Roosevelt's
declaration can make a particle of diff
terence in the attitude of North Da-
kota progressives. In the matter of a
presidential preference we will go on
lighting, with more enthusiasm than
before, for the man that first took up
the standard of our party and who will
lead us on to victory"
This is the statement of R. M. Pol.
lock of Fargo, president of the North
Dakota Progressive Republican league.

House Democrats Spring Sur
prise in New Measure.
SUGAR GOES ON FREE LIST
Excise Law Provides for Taxation of
All Incomes in Excess of Five
Thousand Dollars.

Washington, March IA bill to put
sugar on the free list, eliminating $751;
100000 in all cusoms revenue, and an
other to extend the present corpora
ton tax to include individuals and CO.
partnerships having an income of S.
600 a year or yer were ratified by
the Democratic caucus of the house.
The excise law, so called by the
ways and means committee, is in eff
feet an income tax. The bill is so
drawn that it is expected to comply
with the supreme courts decision
against the constitutionality of an in
come tax. Its effect would be to tax
every person who earns more than
$4,000 a year. on the excess of SIS, 900
at the rate of 1 per cent.
The estimate of Chairman Under
wood and members of the ways and
means committee is that the proposed
excise tax would bring in a revenue
of between s50,O00,OOO and $50, 900 900
a year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
Democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price Of sugar to the con-
sumner about IL cent a pound.
The secret hat members of the
ways and means committee had been
so closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax.
Some OF the special provisions of the
income tax or excise bill provide that
in computing incomes expenses actu-
ally incurred in carrying or a business,
not including personal, living or fam
lily expenses, shall be deducted, as
shall interest on Indebtedness.
Majority Leader Underwood an
nounced that the bills would be re-
ported to the house in a few days.

CARRYING IN new COUNTRY
Industry Fast Getting a Foothold in
Williams County,

Industry Fast Getting a Foothold in
Williams County.
At the first annual meeting of the
stockholders eof the Spring Brook
Cream company at Williston, al the
old officers were reelected. While the
gross business looks small to dairy
men and farmers in older dairying sec.
tons it should be remembered there
were not 1000 acres of cultivated land
In that county ten years ago. The
creamery paid to the farmers from
May 1, when the plant was opened,
until Jan. 1, 1912, $780, 9, and o.
US pounds of butter were manufacture
ed.
The business will be doubled or tri-
pied this year, as many farmers are
buying dairy COWS, and cream routes
are being established far into the sur
rounding country. There are three
creameries in Williams county and pa
irons are enthusiastic over the pros
poets and many of them are planning
to have a large acreage of corn this
year. Several silos were erected in the
vicinity of the creameries last fall and
proved so successful that they will &c
in use by nearly all dairymen by the
coming fall.
