In commenting Yesterday on
prevailing conditions in business
circles, Cashier White of the First
National Bank said:
Optimism has not been Sc
marked in several months as it is
today throughout the United
States. Now optimism is reflective
of confidence in the future and
confidence is an important help in
bringing about greater business
activity.
The month just closed has
seen a material gain toward the
normal. The disarrangements
that followed the beginning of the
war are being overcome. The re-
opening of the cotton exchange,
the resumption of business on the
Chicago Stock Exchange and the
restricted trading permitted on the
New York exchange are evidence
enough that the country is recover
ing from the shock it received last
July.
If we review the crisis the
country has gone through the
last four months and take into con-
sideration it was then in a period
of partial business depression, the
present situation must be looked
upon as very promising. 1t has
been most trying time; such a

Mill TAX CASE RE-OPENED
Question of Money for State Institu-
tions Is Argued Before Supreme
Court at Bismarck.


Testimony in the controversy be-
tween the educational institutions of
the state and the state board of
equalization regarding the mill tax for
the support Of the institutions was
heard Tuesday by the supreme court
according to word received here to-
day.
The case was re-opencd on the APP
pllcation Of the attorney general who
claimed hat new facts had been dis
covered which presented the matter
IN a different light from that in which
1t a previously been considered.
1t is alleged that the state will be
short of funds next year which neces-
states the cutting down Of the APP
preparation.
The contention of the institutions as
presented by their attorney N. O.
Young however is that they should be
given the preference, as they were
first given the benefit of the special
tax.
