ference with the personal liberty OF
the educators.
The session of the general assembly
held at the Masonic temple yesterday
forenoon was one of the liveliest of
the entire convention. After three
cities had been proposed as the meet
ing places for next year, Bismarck
was chosen by standing vote by a
good majority. While both Grand
Forks and Fargo extended a cordial
invitation to the association, little
fight was made and the choice Of Bis
marck was made unanimous upon
motion of Professor Vernon Squires
Of Grand Forks.
Following the selection of Bismarck
as the next place of meeting, the
resolutions committee brought in its
report which precipitated the most
interesting contest Of the Fargo meet
ing. The resolutions committee was
composed of Minnie j. Nelson Helen
Davies, T. Henry Wolfe, C. J. N. Mel
son and Fred E. Smith.
The report Of the committee as
finally adopted by the convention as
its platform contained nine planks., 1t
endorsed the new code of ethics which
was prepared by committee of the
association was adopted.

AN OPPORTUNITY SELDOM GIVEN

PUBLIC BENEFITED
(From MONDAYS Daily.)

The Dakota Drug Store closes to-
night a sale that is unique and that
brought the desired results. 1t might
have been termed One Cent Get Ac-
quainted Sale. A special effort was
made to secure visitors who would get
the Dakota Drug Habit and in order to
start them the staple goods in the
store were offered for one cent for
each article. that is by buying one ar
ticle at the regular price another of
the same kind could DE had for an adj
ditional cent
The reputation of the Dakota Drug
Co for square dealings is so we'll es-
tablished that people did not hesitate
to buy freely and as a result the spec
ial lone cent sale" made hit with the
management as well as with the pub
lie. and resulted in many visitors to
the store who might not have been at
tracted without some special induce.

~. Mrs. William Story, then gave re-
port Of the result of her consultation
with the Masons with regard to build
ing a receiving vault. 1t was decided
that the Civic League give what ever
amount they have at their disposal to-
ward the cost of the receiving vault
which it is expected will be started
next spring. .
Captain DuFall of the Vigilant Hose
Company then addressed the meeting
on the subject of fire waste and his
talk was one that might we'll have
been heard by every resident Of Valley
City. Mr.. DuVall emphasized the ne
cessity for being careful about leaving
oiled cloths lying about and about the
use of gasoline He stated that out of
sixteen calls Of the fire department
last year, more than half were caused
by gasoline. Mention was also made
of the large amount Of refuse which
nils the alleys and back yards in town
and the great risk Of FIRE from such
calelessness. Mr. DuVall read parts
Of magazine article on the subject Of
fires and their various causes which
was interesting and closed by compar-
ing the fire rate per capita Of our
country and our state with other
countries. Statistics show that the
percentage Of fire loss per capita in
Germany is 10 cents while in the Unit
ed States it is s239 and in North Da-
ko,a $500 per capita. Mr.. DuValps
talk ended the program after which
refreshments were served and the

bers Of the association with the dues
payable to their county superintendent
to be turned over to the treasurer.
In reply to the sentiment voiced
early in the day that Fargo and Grand
Forks, by agreement controlled the
meetings Of the association, President
Kelly replied that it is to be regretted
that these two cities have never been
known to actually agree on any mat
ter. The Women's clubs Of the state
it was pointed out are exercising a
mighty influence for good, which will
pass from the teaching profession il
it does not take more interest in CONF
munity uplift.
Pres. Kelley introduced Hon. Simon
d. Fess, president of Antiock college.
Yellow Springs, Ohio, and congress-
man from the Sixth Ohio District. He
was introduced as having "reaped the
greatest honor that can come to the
son Of men, being member Of the
teaching profession.
President Fess holds the same posi-
ton as president of Antiock as was
held by Horace Mann, and it was to
this great educator of the past genera
items, that he devoted a masterful and
eloquent address, drawing from it
some conclusions applicable to the
teacher of the present day.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 6.-Nearly 1000
people, teachers coming from the four
corners of the sU te, met in the fist
general session at the Masonic Tenn
pie yesterday afternoon. The meeting
was opened by an eloquent address OF

the fact that this state with only about

the lure of the insidious tempter
who would relieve them of their saw
ings easily, quickly and without re-
turn. After all the subject of COM
pound interest is fascinating one.
1t almost startles one to figure the
fabulous sums that ten cents a day,
invested at four per cent. compound
interest will amount to in the course
of five, ten or fifteen years. The
old fashioned arithmetics we eiph-
cred through in school in our far
off youth used to sing the same song
and so did the bookkeeping text
books, but how many needed them?
Not many, one fears.
The average citizen of small
means squanders his nickles for Gig
ars and nick-knaeks in the same
manner he did years ago. If he
would deposit them in the savings
bank they would form the founda-
ton of fortune for him, but it is
a trait of weak human nature to
prefer a pleasant present to future
wealth.

The Establishments of the ladies of
Nevada who are seeking for their sex
complete civil privilege, has taken
firm hold of the state and about all
that remains, if one is to judge by
the general temper of the people, is
to comply with the constitutional re-
quirements. One wonders after all,
whether the ballot perogative will
fully satisfy the good ladies, who are
surely entitled to recognition in their
demands, or whether their single de-
sire, once gratified, will not lead to
some other things dreadful to con-
template-the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the men, for instance. In mere vot-
ing numbers, the women will have
this innovation within their power in
number of states, and it would be
awful retribution for the male men,
bers If the issue should be precipi-
tated and encompassed. But this
thought is too awful to contemplate.
Let us forget it!

APPLYING SINGLE TAN

Tax Commissioner Pastoriza of
his own accord applied the single tax
principle in the city of Houston,
Texas, quite Indifferent to the fact
that the proceeding was unconstitu-
ional.
AS soon as he was elected to Of
fee he assessed land at its full cash
value, and improvements at only 25
ly ignoring all personal property,
such as furniture, money stocks,
bonds, mortgages, automobiles, ETC.,
although in Texas it is legally sub
ject to taxation.
The result was an assessment roll
of $12O, 1000, 0,000-the largest of any
city in the state-and the city tax
rate was reduced from $40 to
$3.50.
Pastoriza was reelected recently
by big majority.
Whatever may be thought of the
single tax as applied to agricultural
lands, the policy of relieving i'm
provements and personal property
from taxation in towns and cities has
much to commend it. Fully three
fourths and perhaps nine-tenths of
all personal property taxes is most
fruitful source of perjury, inequality
and injustice.
1t may be illogical to claim the re-
markable growth of Vancouver, B.
c., is due mainly or in all to the
single tax, but at least the single tax
has not operated there to prevent
rapid progress.
In that city land values have treb-
eled in four years, since taxation of
improvements was abolished, and
there has been a most noticeable in
crease in fire buildings.-Bee.

PROGRESSIVE FALLON.

Fallons municipality owned i'm
provements and the admirable man
ner of their conduct are exciting fav
orable comment in many quarters.
Come to think of it this rapidly
growing town is well abreast of the
times in the plan of cooperation.
Contrasting the conditions prevailing
here with those that usually apply
to new towns where franchises are
given to favored ones with resulting
community inconvenience, it must
seem that Fallon is well entitled to
all the laudatory comment that
comes its way.
AS time passes the wisdom and
foresight of the city fathers who laid
the foundation for present and flu
ture enjoyment and health preserya-
ton will become more and more ap-
parent and with the increase of ap-
preciation will come correspond
ing increase of thankfulness on the
part of the beneficiaries that Fallon
was governed during its inceptiye
period by body of public spirited
men who sought nothing for them
selves and built enduringly for those
who are to come after them.
Fallon has been given an indi-
viduality seldom enjoyed by towns of
corresponding size and age. Indeed,
it is doubtful, If fine comb search
the country over, would reveal a
place that enjoys more for its mon
ey or has greater promise for the fu-
ture in an industrial, commercial,
residential or educational sense. For
these things we have an unselfish
and hard working city administra-
ton to thank in addition to citizen
ry of which any town might well be
proud

THIS PAPER KEEPS PACE.

One of the PHYS connected with
newspaper work in Fallon is that the
means at hand, financial and other
wise, will not permit this paper to
carry a more complete message to
the outside world of the wonderful
opportunities that abound here for
home building and assimilation of
population. But as the community
grows under inevitable handieaps
does this paper and its power for
good grow as well. When we look
back over our files and contrast the
present weekly issue of the Standard
with the first product bearing the
name, crying insistently for recogni-
tion for the community; when We
further contrast the means at hand
for producing the paper as it ap-
pears now with the scant supply of
mechanical appliances in use when
the present editor assumed charge
more than eight years ago, we VEN
ture the assertion that the Standard
has kept pace with its field.
1t will not be long, perhaps, when
furher patronage and added mechan-
ieal facilities will make it possible
for the Standard to bear the message
it knows "by heart" to the homo
hungry folks in distant points.

Who says that baseball is bad for
the boy? Shucks, boy who did not
care for baseball would be a human
lizard. The zest of the game is
enough, to say nothing of the attend
ing exercise that sets the good, red
blood coursing through healthy
veins, to make any normal youngster
sit up. We have three year-old who
probably catches tossed balls a little
awkwardly, but nevertheless no ump
in the big leagues can yell play
ball" with greater zest than the
youngster of our household.

A JUSTIFIABIE VETO.

Governor Oddie has placed his
disapproyal upon the sundry state
highway" measures, carrying appro-
priations aggregating 100000 that
were passed up to him by the recent
Legislature. And he did we'll when
he used his negative powers in this
instance, for If there is one example
of culpability on the part of the re-
Gently concluded legislature, it is in
connection with the filibustering
highway schemes. Simply a rever-
sion to the old Pork Barrel" meth
cd of doling out slop to the various
sections of the state.
AS a matter of fact the 100000
expense contemplated by the road
measures would not erect decent
signs across the state along the three
routes contemplated. The govern
or very properly held that the work
contemplated should be performed
by the several counties and not by
the state.

When one reads that the entire

When one reads that the entire
cantaloupe production of favored
sections with regulations established,
is purchased a year ahead by the
commission men of the cities, one
wonders why our delectable local
product is SO slow of recognition.
The fact is that Churchill county can
and does each season, under correct
auspices, produce a eantaloupe sec
ond to none, and it will not be long
until its fame will spread into
the effete centers where appetites
must be whetted before launching
into the meal proper. When this oe-
ours the local gardeners may well be
thankful for it will rebound vastly
to their financial benefit. Mean
while, is the coming season too early
period when organization and CO.
operation may advantageously be ef-
feeted? We think not.
