Who PAYS
THE PIPER?

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 7.@Who
pays the cost of civil litigation which
is carted from one county to another
by legal process? This Is a question
involved in the case of McHenry Colin
~ against Pierce county which will be
tried before Judge S. w. Buttz of the
second Judicial district, who has been
invited by Judge Burr of Rugby to
hear the case. In that a question of
law which is entirely new - North
Dakota is involved, determining =
question of great public Importance
the case will likely eventually reach
the supreme court. The history Of the
case is interesting.
A workman employed by the con
tractor building the new 500 depot at
Mlnot was injured during the con
stfuction of that building, and later he
sued the contractor and the 500 line
In McHenry county. When the case
came up for trial al Towner, ii was,
by agreement of the parties, transfer
req 10 Pierce county for trial and was
iater tried at Rugby, the expenses of
Inc trial amounting to something over
300 in the way of costs of Jurors,
~Dalllfs, court officers, ETC.. which sum
was paid by Pierce county. Pierce
county presented the bill to McHenry
county for these expenses and Nc
Henry county refused 10 paw on the
grounds: First, that the expenses were
chargeable only to the county where
case was tried, and, second, thai
the cause of action did lot arise In
McHenry county, but arose at Minot
which is in Ward county,
Thereupon Pierce county brought
suit against McHenry county upon the
claim and the attorneys for the latter
county demurred the complaint, whicr
raised a question OF law as to whether
Pierce county may recover from Nc.
Henry county at all. Under the NORTH
Dakota statute such cases may be
commenced in any county In tie ste.te
with the right on the part OF the de
PENDANT to ask to have the case trans.
ferred to the county where the cause
OF action arose. In this case no such
request raj made. but on the other
hand the case went to Pierce -county
by agreement. The usual practice II
civil cases has been that the county
where the case is tried must stand thu
expenses. In criminal cases there ii
a statute providing that the case musi
be brought in the county in which tho
cases arises. and IL transferred the or
liginal county must pay the expenses
but there lis no such statute RELATING
to civil cases and a decision in this
| case will be awaited with considerable
Interest. The attorneys were given
until Aug. is to brief the case. Judge
Buttz informed the attorneys that he
would decide the case within a very
flew days after the briefs reached him

UNIFORM
ASSESSMENT

Bismarck, N. D. Aug. loving to
the fact that there are numerous COM
plants in regard to the assessment
of bank stock, the tax commission is
undertaking TO bring about a uniform
assessment throughout the state. The
first step was to secure on opinion
from the attorney general relative to
the right of banks to subtract 5 per
cent of their loans and discounts from
their surplus and undivided profits.
The attorney general held that the law
~purporting to authorize this deduc-
ton was unconstitutional.
The tax commission, following this
opinion, has reviewed the assessment
of bank stocks of the state, and plac-
ed an assessment on the stock of
each bank of rs per cent. The ac-
ton will be reported to the state
board Of equalization for their con-
s~ideration. 1t is estimated that this
will bring about a readjustment of
the bank taxes and place all banks
on a uniform basis. The aggregate
assessment by this method will APP
proximate about the same as the VAL
uation as left by the state board for
the year of 1913.

MANDAN MAY
NOT GET REDS

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 7.-Oncials OF
the Missouri Slope and Morton County
Fair association who have been work
ing hard for months to make the
twentieth anniversary fair the best
ever held in western North Dakota,
are up a stump.
Heretofore the Indians have prov
en- a big part of the fair and the Of
ficials again counted on having from
1000 to 5000 here. Now they have
received information that the Stand
ing Rock reservation fair has been
set for the week of Sept. % to Oct.
8, in direct conflict to the local fair.
Two years ago the same condi
ton occurred, but the Indian de-
partment has a change. This year 1t
is a question whether the change can
be made. The Mandan fair has been
advertised broadcast by handbills,
circular letters. premium books and in
the newspapers and it would be impos-
sible to change the dates.

WHEAT CROP
IS SPOTTED

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. THE
wheat crop in the eastern part of
North Dakota will not average higher
than twelve bushels to the acre in the
opinion of John Mcleod of the John
Mcleod Grain Co.. of Minneapolis, who
has just completed a 1000 mile auto
tour through the state.
"The crop appears to be badly spot
ted" said MI. Mcleod today. I'm
many places we would see a field
which would yield 90 or rs bushels
to the acre on m side of the road
and Immediately on the other side, one
which would not yield over five or six
bushels.
an many places also there appears
to be an excellent stand of grain but
when it is closely inspected the ears
are found to be almost empty. This
is due largely. I think, to the heavy
rains and hot weather which prevailed
during July"
