ON SEMI-ANNUAL
TAX COLLECTION

To The Forum: In regard to the
question of semi-annual tax collection
it must be considered in what way 1t
will affect our farmers whose inconae
is but once a year-namely in the fall
instead of monthly as city firms.
Most of the farmers have their money
tied up or invested and have no ready
money but once a year.
And how would the village mer-
chants feel who have to carry the
farmers over from fall to fall. Would
they not be greatly burdened to meet
a spring tax?
Also many working people who de-
pend on their summers wages to car
ry them through the winter, could
they meet a spring tax?
To make it satisfactory to all if the
bill passes for semi-annual payment
would it not be more fair if there was
no penalty on the first semi-annual
payment until after the last semi-an-
nual payment becomes delinquent.
I Then many who, as Mr.. Hubbard, OF
the Union, Light, Heat & Power Co.,
said, find 1t more to their advantage
to pay twice could do so without adj
ding an extra burden to those who are
less able to ear it.

Yesterdays Meeting.

DIR. Yerkes. a missionary to China,
yesterday morning at the Fargo COL
lege gave the students a talk on that
country which was highly appreciated
under the topic of The New Repub-
lie. and said that in the past ten or
twelve years through the disturbances
in China so, 000, 900 lives were lost.
He said that while the new republic
was comparatively young the people
had been thinking of it for many
years. He praised the president Of
the republic as a wise and progress
sive a He said that the average
Chinaman had a strong liking for the
Americans and the American gov
eminent and that 700 people from the
orient were now studying in America
the customs of this country. He said
that the Chinese are an aggressive
people and they aim to be a great
manufacturing nation and are making
great strides in that direction. He
said it was a low estimate to say that
10000 missionaries were needed in
that country at the present time. The
meetings tomorrow all promise to be
most interesting and all are invited to
attend them.

PECULIAR FREAK OF NATURE

What was probably the most pecu-
liar result Of the high winds of Friday
night occurred in the court house yard.
A pine board blown from the green
house of N. M. Austin was carried
across the street and the sharp endof
the board was embedded in the limb |,
one of the big cotton wood trees,
which surround the lawn. just eleven
and one-half inches. The curiosity was
so great that Jailor James Hull asked
the county commissioners to grant per
mission to have the limb cut off and
preserved. Permission was granted
and the phenomenon will be exhibited
with the other curios including former
County Commissioner Benefits cam
paign speech on the Tilden bridge as
delivered both in the south and north
ends of this county, now on exhibition
at the county's seat of justice. An
other relic recently found by the new
county officers, was a mould for cast
ing the capital letter l which was dis
covered behind the switch board in the
sheriffs office and is in a much worn
condition. 1t bears every evidence of
having been used increasingly for the
past two years. A guide on courtship
written by Dave jackson is also icing
preserved. Cupid has nothing on the
author of this little skillet.
