AUSTRIAN TAX
PAYERS VERY
MUCH ALARMED
Over Military Estimates Which
Nearly Double the Army and
Navy Expenditure.

VIENNA, June 6.-The AustrO-
Hungarian tax payer has become
gravely alarmed over the fact that the
military estimates for the coming
year are nearly double enc army ana
navy expenditures OF seven years ago.
From government sources there have
come frequent assertions that fe!a-
tions with other countries are most
peaceful and amicable. If this be
true, the people are wondering why
the government comes forward with al
military budget which could not be
much greater if the empire was on the
Verse of war.
The SUM asked by the minister of
war is s1S6, 100000. The army
wants $115, 00C 900, while the navy
will get along wi.h $3G, 900, 600. The
reicpining $35,00O,00O will be spent
on the militia and reserve forces.
Seven years ago the total budget for
the three branches of service amount
ed to only $96,000,000, sum con-
.siderably less than is now demanded
for the army alone.
Out of Proportion.
The popular protest is that the adj
vance is utterly out of proportion to-
the normal increase in the nation's
financial and commercial wealth, but
the most distinguishing feature Isl
that the present budget contains no
extraordinary items, so there is no
reason to expect that next years esti-
mate will bring any relief.
AT the time of the war scare, dur
ing the annexation of Bosnia in 1908,
and during the more recent Balkan
wars, the ministry Of war took ad-
vantage of the situation to procureI
everything that was needed to bring
the army up to high state of efficien-
cy, and enormous sums were spent on
two notifications. The rate Of spend
ing then inaugurated seems to have
budget has been larger than the one
before. Immense sums have been put
into new guns, and technical equip
ment for the engineers and field
forces.
While it is contended that the gen
eral increase in the cost of labor and
materials has much to do with the in
creasing budgets, the press has late
ly been discussing the influence ex-
erted by the ring of manufacturers Of
steel and ornaments.
Costly Warships.
Since Austro-Hungary started to
build ships of the dreadnaught type
three years ago, the taxpayers have
been astonished to find that these are
costing many millions more than war
ships of similar size and power built
by Germany and Great Britain. The
iron and steel and other materials en-
Iployed are all considerably dearer
than in the other two countries
named. 1t is charged that the gov
eminent is being held up by ring of
manufacturers. Since 1t is the set
tied policy of the various government
departments not to buy anything out
side the country if it can be obtained
in Austria Hungary, 1t has been diff
ficult to find remedy for the situa-
ton.
Apparently the manufacturers ring
constitute very powerful organiza-
ton. The shareholders include
many influential and exalted persons.
The shares in one of the principal
shipbuilding concerns have risen in
the past few years from $50 to $3.50,
an increase of 1900 per cent.

Plan OF TOWNSHIP OFFICERS BODY
AS OUTLINED BY Secretary FREEMAN

To Township Officers and the Public.
At a meeting of township super
visors held in Grand Forks few
weeks ago. there was organized! tile
Grand Forks County Association of
Township Supervisors. The end sought
in the formation of this association is
that it shall become useful and
practical medium in the furthering
OF all the common interests of the
several townships that make up Grand
Forks county.
To the student of modern political
and economic conditions. two facts
stand out most clearly. The first is
the tendency Of all persons and o.
ganizations having mutual and iden-
teal interests to associate themselves
together that by acting in ,lnison:athr
interests of all are better served. The
other fact is TIE tendency of all.rep-
resentative government to become
more directly representative. of the
people, to voice more distinctly public
opinion.
The formation of the ASSOCIATE
named above is only one more step
along the road Of modern progress
There is not among all the bodies of
mon called together under our form
of government in any capacity what
soever Il single one that is more di-
rectly representative than the men
who make up the several township
boards. For the reason that they are
chosen regardless of political opinion
and views. and by their neighhdrs
and friends because they possess Ger
tain qualifications that meet witn
their approval. They arc known per-
sonallv to thc voters that elect them
and have the confidence of the com
mun!ties that they represent
An association made up Of such
men forms the first step in represcn-
tatve government. They represent
directly the great mass of farmers
and producers. upon whom tho bur
den of government rests. Their Eng
lish may be faulty and full of errors.
hut they stand as representing those
who have huildcd an empire by their

tain it by the wealth that they pro-

zation, but to work for the mutual
