There is no "bachelor tax" law on the
statute books of our state. Until this
year bachelors were exempt from taxa
ton unless they possessed real estate or
considerable taxable personal property
Last spring when they were registered
by the assessor according to their party
affiliations they lost that long-enjoyed
privilege. Section S53 of 1905 Revised
Codes provides: "The county auditor of
each county shall at the time of making
the annual assessment and levy of taxes,
levy a tax of 81 on each elector in the
county for the support of the common
Schools" In compliance with this law
the auditor placed the names of all
qualified electors, who we're not other
wise assessed upon the assessment roll.
The majority of them were young men
about town who we're earning good
wages but who had escaped taxation
until 1912. About 125 names consisting
each of the 81 school poll we're added to
the Langdon city tax list. If these
taxes are collected, the revenue arising
from them VIII more than offset the
expenses of party registration. provided
the receipts and disbursements went
to the same fund.

1t was the intention that the pupils

should benefit by this number, yet as
the subject is one of Importance in the

to the authorities that the people

the opportunity to enrich their fund Of

The merchants in a town like Langdon
should profit by the parcels post to an
even greater extent than the catalogue
houses of the east. Nearly every country
home has close con nections with the
town store by use OF the telephone.
The farmer or his wife can call up the
merchant, have him put the goods in
the p%ostofice and receive them by rural
delivery the next morning. The price
for transportation will be SO small as to
really make no difference when the

the part of a machine which has broken

needs to help her In finishing her new

Senator e. W. Plain chairman of the
appropriation committee of the upper
house, spent the recess of last week at
his home in Milton. Mr.. Plain says ap-
preparation bills introduced to date
total about two and a quarter million,
while the total income of the state
for the two.year period can be Only
about 81, 100000. That means big cuts
IN the appropriation requests of some of
the institutions. He says "there is a
general sentiment among the members
of the assembly that liberal a%ppropria-
tions must be made for the asylum for
the insane at jamestown. The condi-
tlons there are anything but satisfactory
and a lot of money is needed for the
erection of new buildings which will
provide adequate accommodations for
the large number of patients. The bill
for the institution appropriations calls
Tor about $4,000. Just what appro.
priation will be granted is still an un.
certain quantity, but the general i'm.
preston Is that the appropriation fo1
that institution will! be- the heaviest
given to any Of the state institutions
