REPORT ON TARIFF
GIVEN TO SENATE
Continued from First Page.)

allows on account of marriage an addi-
tional exemption of $1,000 to either the
husband or wife where they are living to-
.gether. but not of both.
In the case of a minor child or chill
dren living with and dependent upon the
parent. such parent is allowed an ad-
ditional exemption Of $500 for one minor
child. and up to $1,000 on account of
minor children. except where both
parents are taxable. in which case no
exemption is allowable on account of
children.
Lowest Exemption.
BY the amendment the lowest possible
exemption to any one person would be
$4,000. and the highest possible exemption
to any one person S.. 900. While the amend
ment may make no wide difference in
the volume of revenue derivable from
the tax. it is deemed equitable as recog-
nizing the added obligations on account
of marriage and children and salutary
as emphasizing the family as the unit
in our social structure.
The changes in all the schedules are
dealt with at length in the report. or

were transferred TO the free list in ad-

The House bill and amendments made
by the committee on finance fully recog-

agricultural population by placing agri-
cultural implements Of every kind and

lumber. coal. harness, saddles, cotton

eventual elimination. The substantial
reductions made all along the line on
cotton and wooden goods, wea ring ap-

The sugar and wool schedules are left
unchanged as to free sugar and free raw
wool, but reductions by the Senate COM
mittee in wool tops and yarns are ex-
planned, and sweeping reductions in the
metal schedule are treated in the report
with considerable comment. Pig iron,
ferromanSanese and other products were
placed on the free list by the committee
and the report says:
THE House bill places iron ore upon
the free list mainly because it was found
that the domestic supply of iron ore was
largely controlled by the United States
Steel Corporation and for the purpose of
aiding the Independent iron and steel
manufacturers in their competition with
this monopoly.

Seemed VERY POSSIBLE
BY SALLlE ROGERS.

Having just returned from a visit
down the state, Miss Spinks was full
OF her experiences.
i don't know why she said to
her brother, but everybody talked to
me on the trains and street cars"
It's that new hat OF yours" her
brother said. Besides, you probably
smiled first"
i mean women and children, of
course" said Miss Spinks Nov,
there was the queerest woman on the
train coming back to Philadelphia.
AT first l thought she was at least
fifty, and then was sure she was no
more than eighteen
Her young life was probably
crushed" her brother said. Give
her a new slit skirt and she'd be all
right"
We'll, she was dressed queerly,"
conceded Miss Spinks. She wore her
hair in braid and her blue dress
was trimmed With a good deal Of
red"
Not half as gorgeous as that pink
dress of yours with the brass stuff
on said her brother.
That's a party dress. People dress
simply when travelling"
Don't be too severe said her
brother. Maybe travelling was to this
friend OF yours what ball is to
you"
We'll, anyway" continued Miss
Spinks, she sat and stared at me
for long time so fxedly that
couldn't help looking at her. She
had very queer eyes and she carried
patent leather satchel that she kept
polishing with her handkerchief.
Finally she spoke

she was on her way TO Reading,
where she was to visit IA cousin who
knew the postmaster The postmas-
ter had promised to show her all the
points OF interest in the whole place
and she was very much excited about
it."
"He must be smart man. that
postmaster"
after a while she leaned over to-
ward me and said that must be very
careful asked why, thinking OF
wrecks and confidence men, and she
! said that wherever one travelled there

money to tempt any one, and she
whispered back that she did, a very
great deal. She had, however, an
invention that would catch them
whenever they came.
what a disappointment said the
brother. She was nothing but a
travelling agent after all
Indeed. she wasn't" said Miss
Spinks Her invention was not for

"Fish hooks exclaimed her broth

Spinks, looking puzzled Il forgot to
ask her. 1t seemed very possible

Sort of fishy?"

special force.
More and more is North Dakota

state and invested in all kinds Of
propositions. Measures have been in.

CASH PAYMENT OF ROAD
TAKES Is NEEDED STEP

! One of the important subjects tia
Is receiving serious consideration b
members Of the legislature is tina. Q
good loads and number of measure
having for their purpose bettermen
Of road conditions in the state hav,
] been introduced in both houses. Tha
some step looking toward permanent
Improvement of public roads will III
taken by tho Legislature at this ses
sion is assured, owing to the public
feeling that to maintain its high
place in agriculture North Dakota
must have better roads. The atti
tude of most Of the legislators is that
the action taken should be conserva.
tive and for this reason the bill Of
fered by the good roads committee Of
the Grand Forks Commercial club is
receiving very favorable considera-
ton.
This measure proposes nothing rad.
ical. 1t simply provides that road
taxes shall be paid in money and
that road work shall be let ty con-
tract. This method of getting road
work done IS now optional but under
the proposed law would be mandatory
In case the town supervisors do not
receive bids which satisfy them they
may let the work as they see fit. The
bill is simple. easily understood and
does not deprive the township boards
of any Of their powers. The only
actually new feature of the measure
is the provision for tho payment of
road taxes in money to do away with
the defect in the present SISTER,
which permits the working out Of
the road tax.
North Dakota has failed in efforts
to secure good roads legislation in
the past because bills introduced have
Teen loaded down with radical chang.
es and finally killed. The success
of efforts towards road Improvement
rests on the more evolutionary step
offered ty this bill.

This statement, made by Mr.. Cham
Eerlain, formerly of the Dakota Far.
mcr, contains a great deal of truth.
Our city could scarcely exist without
the farmer and it behooves us to fos.
ter his interests. There are SO many
ways in which we can do this. The
FARMER doesn't take kindly to advice
given by every Tom, Dick and Harry,
and we don't blame him bit. There
are too many members Of the farm
ers' advisory board. Too many side.
walk farmers are trying to tell the
farmers what to do. One way to help
the farmer is to loan him money at
the lowest possible rate for his bus
