THE N, o, POWER SUPPLY.

North Dakota will some day be
famous for it's power. The state
geologist, A. G. Leonard, has just is
sued a statement in which he says that
the total tonnage Of workable coa in
North Dakota is estimated at 100000
600, 900 tons. Wrapped vi in that vast
tonnage is a supply Of power which
staggers the mind, when an attempt is
made to grasp its possibilities.
Those who scott at the idea that
this will some day be a great manu-
featuring state fail to AXE into con-
sbderation the fact Of this vast power
supply and the further fact that in
the east are to be found the great
est iron ore deposits in the world.
In, the light of the tremendous adj
Vancement that has been made in
the western part Of the United States
in. the past fifty years. who will deny
that North Dakota within the next
fifty years may not develop into n
of the greatest manufacturing states
in the nation?
This is not to say that any great
development in manufacturing will
come in the immediate future. But,
as the state and the nation grow,
and especially as the west is developed
and the population increases and con-
centrates as it has in the east, this
mighty supply OF power cannot lay
neglected. The inventive geniuses Of
the coming generations will be chal-
1enged to provide methods of extract
ing this power at little cost.
Until such a time comes, the state
has its great agricultural resources
and for it's immediate prosperity
should lay all stress on developing

RECEIPT AMOUNTS TO LICENSE.

A distinction without a practical
difference is sought to be drawn by
the head of the internal revenue de-
partment as to the nature of the tax
which the United States government
levies on liquor dealers. The point
which the commissioner seeks to
make is that the receipt given by the
government is not a license, but mere
ly a receipt showing that the stamp
money has been paid.
In recent years the permitting of
liquor dealers in prohibition territory
mas been more and more criticised.
In common parlance this tax has been
referred to as a license, and it is this
use of the word to which the COM
missioner objects as not being &C
curate.
He thus writes of the tax:
The bureau OF internal revenue is
sues no license of any kind, but is
required by law to collect certain
taxes, designated as special taxes,
from persons engaged in certain busi-
ness occupations OF trades. The
statutes require that, upon payment
of the tax. a receipt in the shape of a
stamp made and prepared in accord
ance with the statutory instructions
shall be furnished the taxpayer.
While it is technically true that the
government does not issue a license
to the liquor dealer, the payment of
the stamp fee to all intents and pur-
poses amounts to the same thing. The
exhibit of the receipt is a bar to all
prosecution under the federal laws,
and this is, in effect, a license to sell
liquor SO far as the national govern
rnent is concerned. A dozen licenses
could not more fully protect against
the United States revenue men than
this receipt. One definition of a
license is a permit, and the payment
of the internal revenue tax is certain
1y giving carte blanche for the sale OF
alcoholic liquids. Not to consider this
as synonymous with a license is 9
mere bubble over words.
Should the federal government re-
fuse to accept this fee from vendors
In prohibition territory the state laws
would be many times more effective
