ness, both in the giving of counsel
and In the conduct of the litigation
which is bound to result. The cost to
the government of collecting this tax
will probably be greater than the per-
centage Of cost of collection Of any
other part of the national revenue.
Under the law, a tremendous amount
of money will be collected, but it re-
mains to be seen how large, q, percent
age of this amount will be consumed
in it's collection. 1t is fair to assume
that not more than one-half of the cost
to the individual will be added to the
governments actual net revenue.
Currency legislation Is now the all
absorbing topic at Washington and for
that matter throughout the country.
Numerous amendments have been
made to the Glass bill which has pass
ed the house and is now in the hands
of the senate. Other amendments
have been urged by associations of
business men and bankers and some
further changes will no doubt be made
before the bill can pass the senate. It
is the presidents desire that the bill
pass at this session. In case 1t is
amended in three or four important
particulars, it will probably receive the
general support of both parties. 9th
erwise, it will pass, if at all, strictly
as an administration measure. The
plan will be amended after it is in
operation, if not before, and it would
seem vastly better to make the meas
ure as perfect as possible before en-
acting it into law, even If that means
holding it UP until the regular session
in December. ...r.. ,-... -

Innportante to all business and pro-
fessional men and the farmers of
North Dakota is the letter which has
just been issued by the First National
bank of Fargo. -...
This letter is something that every
body should read. That all may have
the opportunity, The Forum herewith
gives it's readers the benefit Of the
commercial advice of this great bank
ing institution. 4
This letter was compiled by Pres e.
]. Weiser and Vice President Irish re-
Gently and issued Oct. % to all the pa
irons of the First National, so that it's
views are current.
The main feature made by this big
bank, which every business man and
farmer in the state should note, is
that despite all the legislative agita-
the Underwood tariff law and now in
the face of important measures just
made and the new Glass currency bill
still pending in the senate the BIRDS
eye prediction of this great institu-
tion, based on the most reliable REFS
ports from every section of the coun-
try, is that the business situation has
perhaps never been steadier. This
bank is impressed with the ssteadi
ness of business conditions. ~ $500
Following is the letter in toto:
At this date in 1911, business had
just reached fairly satisfactory basis
after two-year period of ups and
downs. Business then was practically
average In all lines for twelve months
and in November, 1912, the only con-
siderable. worry of the business man
was the prospect of tariff Legislation
under the new administration. For the
the past year, prospective tariff revis-
ion downward has been the argument
used to Offset all hopeful signs. The
revision has come, is in effect and,
after the first shock is over, business
will probably proceed in the usual
manner. The tariff changes will give
some business a decided setback and
will be a boon to other lines. On the
whole, 1t is generally believed that the
results will be beneficial if for no other
reason than that tariff discussion is
ended for some years to come.
The greatest concern about the new
income tax seems to be the difficulties
in its application. Bankers, corpora
tions, firms and individuals will find
no little trouble in following out the
provisions of this act in all its rami =
ficatiens and complications. The best
legal counsel will be necessary in
many cases and lawyers as least will
enjoy considerable increase in busi-

that New York didn't want it, and
so it will be taken off. The Love
Leash was a clean play. 1t didn't
pretend to teach a moral lesson in
a bawdy house nor reform society

conscience of degenerates. Other
plays which have done so and
just escaped action by the New
