BURKE OR PuRcELL-wHlcn7

IHefe mas Deen much Specula.
ton as to whether Ex-Governor
John Burke will be a candidate fol
the United States Senate from this
state this year, and nobody yet
seems to know. 1t is certain, how.
ever, from what he has said, that if
he becomes candidate it will be
a case Of the office seeking the man
He is not, and will not, be can.
didate on his own initiative.
That he would be a strong candi.
date everybody admits. Three
times he has been before the people
Of the state and was always elected.
He could be again. There is prac.
tically no doubt about that; aud if
elected he would ably represent the
state in the upper house of Con
gress. He has the ability, and al
ready has national reputation.
But Burke already has an hon
orable position as treasurer of the
United States, and one he is filling
to the entire satisfaction of the
people. We can afford to leave
him there, unless he aspires to the
o. S. Senate, and it seems that he
does not. We have other equally
good men in the party for the Sen
ate, and then why not leave MIR.
Burke where he is at PRESENT.
We have q man here in Wahpe.
ton with at least equal ability. The
Times does not know that he as.
pires to that position again, but he
made an excellent senator during
the short time he was there, and if
Mr.. Burke does not want to change
his office now. why not nominate
and elect our fellow citizen, the
Hon. W. E. Purcell?
He was Burke's choice for that
high office when Burke was COVER
nor of the state, and he appointed
him himself when there was a va.
cancy and he was given the oppor-
tunity; and everybody knows that
he made good. The Times would be
specially pleased to have Mr.. Pur.
cell nominated and elected to that
office by the people of the state
themselves, and if given chance
The Times believes they would very
gladly do so.

OUR TAXATION SYSTEM

In a recent address delivered to
the State Association of County
Commissioners at Devils Lake F. E.
Packard, of the state tax commits
sion, declared in an address that
while real property pays nearly
5000, 900 Of the total of $12,OOO,-
900 taxes levied in the state COR
porations, representing much more
capital invested in the state, pay
only fraction of that amount of
taxes.
He declares that the listing and
appraising of property for taxa
'tion has broken down in the state
for want of system. He showed
that apart from real estate, no
class of property in the state is all
listed. As examples Of thia he
cites the fact that in the same year
that the census enumerators found
2,027, ,030 head of farm animals in
the state the appraisers found only
! .289,640. The census enumerators
appraised these animals at $780,
99l,919 while the tax appraisers
found them worth only something
over $22, 100000.
Last month, the bank deposits of
the state aggregated more than
$100.000,000 while moneys on the
assessment rolls was less than Il
quarter of that amount. While the
state has $4,000, 900 of stocks and
bonds there are but $4,000 900 on
the tax rolls.
The foreign corporations doing
business in the state, aside from
the railroads, are not paying any
tax scarcely. In Rhode Island, for
instance, they paid last year $780,
600; in Ohio 81, 100000; in Ore
gon, 1925, 900, in addition to their
property tax; in little Idaho,
;bl30,000. while in North Dakota
they paid only a measly 81 300.

GRADES WILL BE
ANNOUNCED JULY /
SOME OF THE TEACHERS ARE
IMPATIENT, BUT PAPERS ARE
NOT ALL FINISHED.

For the benefit of the teachers in
the county, who have become impa-
tient about hearing from their ex-
aminations, which were stood about
one month ago, it is unoficially an
nounced that the grades will not be
ready for publication until July l or
later. Many of the papers have been
corrected by the state examining
board, but none of the grades will
be announced until July 1 or later.
Because they have heard nothing
from the papers is not sign that
they have failed, as has been the fear
of many in the county. A small num-
Der of men, about twenty-five in
number, have the job of correcting
several thousand papers, and quite a
time is necessary to do this.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
UP, ard bent out of shape with its
Lcart-wrenc1ing pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
tle blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs TIE misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
ncutralizes and disaolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles. to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
rlatism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
tie blood and drive it on aid out Of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever r.ade for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, ard
DlduueT ulSOIueIS. you VIII HnQ IL
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
It matters not how old you are, or
how lorg you have suffered. It is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the FIRST few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a. ttrihe at any frst-class
drug store. All druggists are ar
thorized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the wors. bach.
ache~or overcome urinary disorder.

oculation Of the hogs until the census
of the county had been taken.
Dr., Murphy was specially impress
ed with Stephenson's Store, which he
said was the finest country store that
The had ever entered mall Of his trav-
els in nearly every state in the union.
He also thought very highly Of the
land and of the methods of farming
that were used in this section, which
he said compared favorably with
those of any part Of the country.

zens of the ninth district will be held
in the court house Tuesday night at
7:3O. The meeting will be addressed
