VOTE YES ON NJ

4 Fargo citizens who have the best
interests Of the city at heart should
be sure to cast their ballots tomor-
row, and to vote yes on the bonding
proposition.
The city owes approximately $780,
600 that is payable at once. OF
this $54, 900, in round numbers, is in
the shape of warrants, against the
city, to pay for the city's share Of the
paving that has been done in the past
year or two. These warrants were
drawn to read. payable ION or be-
fore" the due date so hat the city
can take them up as fast as it gets
the money, or it can let them run I'M
til they are due. AS long as they run
: they draw 6 per cent interest. 1t IS
a simple proposition to see that the
city will be ahead of the game, if it
can get the money elsewhere for 1
per cent, and pay off these warrants
which are drawing 6 per cent.
The balance of the 500, 900 or $46,-
900, Is in the shape of a debt against
the Guy mat is past que. ne ueDt IS
in the shape of old warrants, which,
for one reason or another ave been
dragging along without provision hay
ing been made for their retirement.
They are a just debt against the city
and if suit were brought to compel
the city to pay, they could be collect
ed in a lump sun through the courts.
If the matter were taken into the
courts, the whole sum would nave to
be paid at once and the entire amount
added to the levy next year. But even
If the matter is not taken into court,
these past due warrants draw interest
at the rate Of 7 per cent per year. 1t
will be seen that the city by voting
the bonds will be saving 3 per cent
per year on $46, 900.
The city commissioners have figured
a plan to retire this 500, 900 indebt-
edness in twenty years, and by getting
this low rate Of interest and spread
ing the payment over twenty years,
they will lift a big burden from the
taxpayers. It will be seen therefore
that not only will the city have a big
sum annually. but it's financial affairs
will be put IN a solid, business-Iike
basis.
Voting yes" on the bond issue to-
morrow is simply a good business
proposition.

will proceed under the provisions of
the chapter to investigate some of the
line companies, who it is charged
are seeking to throttle independent
competition, and if he finds that they
have violated the provisions Of this
chapter he will not hesitate to annul
their charters in North Dakota.
This means, of course, that if the
courts view this statute in the same
light that it is viewed by General Mil
Ter that the end has come to the dis
elimination Of the line elevators as
between competitive and non-com-
petitive points. n that they will be
stopped by the strong right arm of
the law from sitting independent COM
petition in order that they may exact
an unreasonable margin Of profit
throughout the entire state. 1t seems
probable, if the law proves to be con-
stitutional, as Mr.. Miller holds, that
the grip of the grain trust in this
state may be broken.

THE OTHER SIDE OF SILENCE.

Though loud the chant of human fate
From earth to HEAVIER be flung,
The other side of silence walt
A myriad songs unsung.
OF dying dreams, and living dread,
OF good that seems in vain,
OF memory mourning for its dead,
And love that wells it's pain.
With all those happier hidden things
OF seventy years or seven,
From c~hildhood's voiceless visionings
To ages hopes of heaven.
Life, of thy gifts be this my choice;
That humbly drawing near,
Waiting to catch the still small voice.
I win the heart to hear.
