NO ONE HAS VIOLATED
THE NEW LAW YET

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2.-The law
giving the governor power to re-
move county and city officers for
misc q onduct, malfeasance, crime
in office, habitual drunkenness or
gross incompetency, while it has
been i'm force for month, has no
yet been invoked. For years the
advoea-es Of the measure endeave
ed I'd get the bill through the leg
islature but the opposition to Civ
ing the governor too much power
always succeeded in defeating the
plan until the last legislative ses-
sion. The measure places wide
measure of r ,sponsibility on the
governor as the law provides that
on complaint of five reputable
citizens the governor can compel
the officers to show cause why
they should not be removed.
The chief effect Of the law will
be to stop the practice Of many
states attorneys and sheriffs. from
winking at violations Of the gam
bling and prohibition laws. It
willoperate somewhat along the
lines of the recall and is regarded
by many as an incentive to better
effort on the part Of the officials
and to make for better law en-
forcement in the state, though
the exaggerated power given to a
governor who might wish to use
the plan for political purposes is
admittedly the worst feature OF
the law.

kota must be considered as al
enormous potential resource.

AOth 4AO6t UE COuS1ucicu as al
enormous potential resource.
On account Of the heavy per-
centage Of moisture and rapid
. disintegration on exposure, lig-
mite does not stand transporta-
ton well, and consequently it's
field Of usefulness has been thus
far limited. Its principal use has
been to supply fuel to the set
tiers on the treeless plains in the
western part Of the state and for
that purpose it has been mined
in a crude way in almost every
county in the Ignite area. Com
mercial mines are situated on the
lines of railways and supply
the I'd dwns of the state with fuel
for domestic purposes and for use
UNDER steam boilers.
But Ignite has been found to
be an, excellent fuel for the gen
Grafton Of producer gas, and with
the development Of manufactur-
ing industries in the state, the
extensive deposits Of Ignite in
North, Dakota will receive more
attention as a source Of power.
It has been found that one ton
Of Ignite in the gas producer will
yield as much horsepower in in
ternal combustion engines as
one ton of the best bituminous
coal under boilers. As the gas
producer and internal combustion
engines become more general use
in the west, as they are rapidly
doing in the east, the hundreds OF
billions Of tons Of Ignite known
to underlie North Dakota will be
found to possess great possibil-
tiles in the settlement and eco
nomic development Of the state.

STATE WILL COLLECT
ALL BACK TAXES

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 1.-The
North Dakota Tax Commission
have just placed upon the assess
ment rolls of Morton and Stark
counties more than two million
Of dollars of assessable property
which has entirely escaped taxa
ton since statehood. Some week
ago Commissioner George E. Wal
lace made a trip to standing
Rock Indian reservation and as
a result nearly a million and a
half Of taxable property was
secured-41, 900 acres Of patent
ed lands and $1,000,O00 Of per-
sonal property being discovered
which had never paid tax OF
any description. This property
is only subject to a state tax.
States Attorney H. r. Bitzing
and his assistant w. R. LANCER
raised the question Of the pro-
perty along the Northern Pacific
right of way in Morton county
which had escaped taxation since
statehood. The Commission, act
ing under the advice Of Attorney
General Miller, advised the Nor
ton county offlcialsthat such real
property was taxable. Property
of this description aggregating
another half million was discover
ed by Secretary G. r. Kositzky OF
the Commission in Morton and
Stark counties, as new law
makes property which escaped
taxation subject to back tax fol
a period Of six years, the find OF
the Commission in these two
counties will be in excess of $4O,-
600 in actual tax.
There are many other counties
in the state in which such leased
property is not on the tax rolls.
The tax commission have begun
q systematic campaign to get this
property on the tax lists Of the
several counties and it is ex-
pected that this property will ado
from $4,000 to 100000 to the
annual revenue of the state and
that next year it will add 5000, ,0O0
to 100000, owing to the back
taxes which will be collected un-
der the 1911 law.

MANY QUESTIONS
ASKED DAILY

Garrison, N. D., Aug. 2, 1913.
Editor Leader HAS the states
attorney answered the different
questions asked him through your
paper, and if so, in what paper?
The Anderson case is the general
topic of discussion in and around
Garrison, and we are all anxious
to get the answer of the states
attorney to the questions put up
to his office regarding this trial.
1t seems he can put this matter
in a different light when he comes
out with what information his
office had regarding this crime.
Can you tell us how much this
case cost Mclean county or will
cost, and oblige.
Truly yours,
A Subscriber.
We know Of great many who
are asking the same questions
and we are unable to say just
when we will be able to give our
readers this information, but ac-
cording to reports the states at
torney's office has been kept
busy for some time past with a
weighty SANDER case, which it
seems hailed from a Russian set
tlement at or near Dogden, and
it is expected that when this mat
ter is once laid aside he will
take up the matter Of these in
quiries.
In regard to what the Ander-
son case will cost Mclean coun-
ty say that at this writing the
Lord only knows what it will
cost, but as the bills are allowed
by the commissioners we will pub
lish them. The Honorable Board
is still pounding at Attorney Law

SHORT HUNDREDS
IN HIS ACCOUNTS

Bismarck Tribune: r. D. Berry
and C. D. Marklty, two special
accountants from the department
Of public examiner, have return
ed from Forman where they have
been conducting an examination
Nf the county records of Sargent
county. It is reported that they
found the former register Of deeds
d. u. Warriner, short hundreds
of dollars in his accounts. The
county commissioners there have
accepted -le report of the ex-
aminers, but it is said that Warri-
ner will make good the shortage
and there will be no prosecutions.
These two examiners several
weeks ago started an examination
Of the records at Washburn, of
the county records there, but
their work was not completed.
While no official report has been
made it is said they found 9
large amount Of irregularities in
the accounts Of that county. It
lis also said that the recordsthere
is not exactly clear as to the
money Burleigh county paid Nc
Lean county in settlement Of the
Bickfprd case which was tried in
Washburn two years ago and I'd
that these examiners will return
there soon to complete thir In
lvestigation.

Morgan City, Miss, April %,
I913.-Mr. George Gilbert Roe and
Miss Alyce SproIes, both of this
city, were quietly married last
Tuesday in the presence of a few
friends and near relatives, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. A. P. SproleS, Rev. J. r.
Russell, officiating.
Although simple, the home dec
orations were most attractive and
appropriate, and consisted OF
ferns, palms and roses a~rtlstically
arranged.
Mrs. Sidney Gillespie. in her
usual charming manner, sang
Till the Sands of the Desert
Grow Cold. Immediately Mrs.
SaIIie ProsSer, of Greenwood, a
cousin of the bride, at the piano,
rendered MendeIsohn'S March as
a professional.
The brides toilette consisted OF
a light tan coat suit with Access
SORES to match, and her flowers
were brides roses and lilies of
the valley.
The bride is one of Morgan
City's most accomplished and
popular young ladies. She posses
es superior intelligence and rare
intellectual attainment, and is a
near relative of the Iamented DR..
Sproles, Of Clinton. Like this no.
bic ancestor, she is a refined,
modest Christian character and
highly esteemed by all who know
her.
Mr.. Roe is a very successful
and prominent young business
man, with a brilliant future, and
has won the confidence and
friendship of all whom he has
come in contact since locating
here about a years ago. He has
surely manifested his most excel
lent taste and judgment in the
selection of a life companion. He
has watched while others waited,
and has selected from our num-
Der of pretty girls one of the fair
est and brightest.
The bride and groom left i'm
mediately after the ceremony for
Orleans and other points Of
interest. After May the first, they
will be at home to their many
friends in Morgan City. xxx.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK.



Dtuo d.
When an article is sold by a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dodson's
Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant-tasting,
vegetable remedy for a slow and slug
gish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone
came on the market the sale of calomeI
has gone way down. The reason is
simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone is
safe and harmless and guaranteed to
be satisfactory -Calomel is often I'M
certain, sometimes dangerous, and no
druggist wants to guarantee that it
won't knock you out of a days work
and maybe send you to bed.
s. l.. Raines sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For you and
your children, it's a good thing to keep
a bottle always in the house.
s, L. Raines will give you your mon
ey back if you think Dodson's Liver
Tone is not worth the price. keep
your liver working, and your liver will
not keep you from working" is good
advice to go by.
