MISSIONARY MEETING
HELD AT DETROIT

The thirty-first annual meeting of
the main office branch of the Metho-
dist Foreign Missionary met in De-
troit, Mimi, the first five days in Oc-
tober. There were III delegates
from this district which included the
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota. Mrs. w. T. Nickel was the
only delegate from Dickinson and
she reports a most enthusiastic meet
ing and that she would not have
missed it for a good deal.
There were four missionaries pres
ent who had recently returned, DR..
RAIDER from the PHILIPPINES and Misses
Erbst, GLADDEN. and Sultan from the
lively. There were also present three
missionaries who will leave the mid
die of this month, war conditions per-
hitting. These three were Misses
Hunt, who was recently in this city,
Brichorst, who now has two sisters
in China, and Shute, a Lisbon girl.
The first named goes to China and
the last two to India.
The meetings were all very inter-
esting. Three sessions were held
each day, the morning, afternoon and
evening sessions. The place chosen
for the next annual meeting was
Grand Forks, and the time will be
the same as this year, the first part
of October.
On her return Mrs. Nickel stopped
off in Bismarck to spend a few days
visiting with Mr.. and Mrs. F. l..
Watkins. She arrived home Thurs
day afternoon of last week.

SHOULD A TAXES

The tax commission is not interest
ed in any discussion of mail order
houses except from the viewpoint of
taxation. We are confronted with
the fact that millions of dollars are
going out of the state annually to
mail order houses which pay no taxes
in the state. However beneficial this
business may be to the state, it
| should bear it's just portion of the tax
burden.
This commission has earnestly
| sought some method Of taxation
which would reach this class of bust
ness. The great difficulty lies in the
Interpretation by the Supreme Court
of the United States of the nature Of
Federal control of interstate COM
merce. Neither the police nor the
power to tax of the state can inter-
fere with interstate commerce. A
mail order business is purely inter-
| state commerce. AS a rule, no agents
are maintained in the state and the
money is sent to the place Of bust
ness of the catalogue house outside
| the state where the transaction takes
place.
1t is estimated that one-third of the
goods and merchandise consumed in
this state come from catalogue
houses. The assessable value of that
class. of property is about $4,000, 900.
Placing the same burden of taxation
upon this business as is borne by the
mercantile business of North Dakota,
they should pay not less than $150,000.
| It is probable that a thorough investi-
cation would disclose that a tax Of
|from 100000 to 100000 would not
be unjust.
The tax commissioners Of many
states, including your own, are at
work upon this problem and it is
hoped that a practical and constitu-
tional method will be evolved. We
would be grateful for suggestions
from the people Of North Dakota. If
anyone has a plan for taxing cata-
logue houses we would be more than
| pleased to consider it. .

worth of new buildings in North Da-
kota in the 1914 season.
This improvement is scattered all
over the state. Of the twenty-one
counties reporting so far, a total of
sixteen show new public buildings
such as court houses and city build
ings, the twenty-one have built 70
school houses and 176 new CONNER
cial and store buildings. It is only
fair to double these figures to cover
all of the counties which means that
over 500 new buildings have been
erected in the state this not
counting residences and farm build
ings.
All, parts have shared in the de-
velopment. Grand Forks county
shows over a million and a quarter
worth of new buildings. Of those re-
porting Eddy county with New Rock
ford shows over $5OO,OOO worth of
construction; Cavalier, Hettinger,
Morton and Stark counties show over
5000, 900 each and Walsh and Nc
Kenzie over 100000 each. Stark
county has built over Is new school
buildings, Cavalier county has built
10, Mckenzie county is. Dunn
county reports IS new store build
ings, Stark county rs and Morton so.
Cavalier county reports 9 new public
buildings.
This showing when the general
condition Of the country is taken into
consideration, is excellent and indi-
Gates that North Dakota is alive and
progressing rapidly. The completed
statistics will doubtless make avail
able figures that will surprise and
draw much attention to this state.

TILLMAN'S STATEMENT

We confess TO have been some
what impressed with the logic OF the
statement OF Senator Tillman recently
In reply to John l.. McLaurin. What
the people are wanting now Is the
best service in the Office of United
States senator. We have feeling of
impartiality ut present. II remains
to- he seen on the stump which is the
bigger and broader and better man
for the position. If Senator Smith is
presented as Il man who liz not cap
able of holding the job, why lie should
be succeeded by IL better man. The
people put the burden Of proof on
Judge Ira e. Jones two years ago. and
we suppose they will again put the
burden OF proof on the man who is
after the man who Is In.
Speaking as one who has been gov
ernOr and who has been senator. MIR.
'Tillnan says that Senator Smith will
make the hetter senator. That Is the
opinion OF Senator Tillman. and other
people may make up their respective
opinions later. but II is Interesting to
observe that although Senator Smith
has opposed Senator Tillman Oh the
matter of patronage and has won out,
yet the senior senator Is supporting
his colleague.
This is about the first time in Sena-
tor Tillman's career that lie has been
supporter of his colleague. He was
not enthusiastic about MIR. Latimer
and was very bitter against Senator
lrby and all know his attitude to-
wards Mcl4aurin
This Is interesting merely as show
ing that Senator Tillman approves of
his colleague. But az he also SAYS,
1t remains for Senator Smith to play
the part Of the man on the stump of
he wishes the people OF South Caro-
linz to return him to the senate.
This proposition will be watched
with great interest
