FROM A

The Fargo Search-Light: The voters
Of this state must look ahead to the
election of 1916. The Big Interests,
standpatism, that which Governor Han.
ma particularly exemplities. is looking
ahead to 1916, and expects to control
the election Of all offices Of the state
but particularly governor, United
States senator. and the three judges of
the supreme court, and also the district
judge. Electing the machine this year
means helping strengthen the reaction.
airy forces for 1916, and permitting
them to perfect their political machine.
The election this year is Of the great
est Importance. 1t may be we'll to note
in this connection that if Hanna should
be reelected governor this yeac he is
staged for United States senator two
years hnece, and Frame for the gov
ernorship. There is not now ans new
er was at any time by the Hanna stri-
kers a purpose to consider Burdick for
governor two years hence. The bluffs
in this direction by certain men before
the primaries, were made in bad faith
to mislead some Of the voters. The
people seem easily misled and in many
instances, and they seem willing to bite
time and time again, on bait handed to
them by men who have purposely de.
ceived them before.

PRAISES

The Fargo Courier-News: Williem
e. Purcell, who represented North Da.
kota with such credit to the satte and
with distinction to himself in the Unit.
ed State Senate FROM February, 1910,
until February, 1911, by appointment
Of former Governor Burke, is the Dem
ocratic party's nominee for that exalt.
ed position this November. 1t was at
the general upheaval Of the Ballinger
land scandals in Alaska that Senator
Purcell made his advent into national
affairs. Though a member of the
minority side Of the house, the new
North Dakota senator made his pres.
ence so keerly felt in the upper house
within a few days after he took his
seat, that he was appointed to an i'm
portant post on the Joint c"ongression-
al commission which investigated the
charges against Secretary OF the In.
terror Ballinger Of the cabinet OF
President Taft.

Young Cherokee Indian Leads
Prison Band.

Tulsa. Okla. Senator Robert L..
Owen has made a personal appeal to
President Wilson for Il pardon for
George Duncan, a Cherokee Indian,
serving a life sentence in Leavenworth
Federal prison. Since his incarceration
he has achieved fame as Il bandmaster
and composer. Men prominent in all
the walks of life in this state have
joined in the appeal for his pardon.
Duncan vas an illiterate boy Of six
teen when convicted Of the murder of
an Indian territory farmer near Wag-
one ten years ago. The wife OF the
murdered man. a woman twice Dun
cans age. was tried as an accomplish,
but "a acquitted. The theory of the
government was that she was the in
stigator. Duncan insisted that he was
alone in the crime.
His paternal grandfather, a Chero-
kee chief. was one Of the famous old
time "fiddlers" in Indian territory.
After entering prison Duncan took up
music and oOn became proficient at
it. Eventually his musical ability at
tracted the attention of the prison au-
thorities. ard he was placed in charge
of the band. which now has twenty-six
members and is the equal of any must
cal organization in Kansas. Many
band pieces composed by him are play
ed throughout the United States. and
his admirers rank him with Sousa and
other American composers Of band
music. He has also acquired a first
class education along general lines
while in prison.
A typical 'hill billy upon entering
prison. he is now one Of the most at
tractive looking men in the Leaven-
worth institution.
Judge Peter Delchman of Tulsa, be-
fore whom Duncan and the oma
were tried. has Joined in the appeal
for his pardon.

Season a Lang and Fruitful One In
Alaskan Waters.
Astoria, Ore.-The arrival of the ten
der Akutan to go into winter quarters
from the Bristol bay district. Alaska.
brings news of Il record breaking sal
mon pack in that part Of the world.
There was Il steady run of fish during
Ee season, which lasted later than
ever before. Every available can was
filed, and at the Nushagak river can
neries alone there was Il shortage of
cans equal to 10000 cases OF fish. At
all other factories shortages existed.
None was prepared for the tremendous
run of salmon. After all the cans were
filled the fishing was stopped. The
Nushagak river canneries totalled 546.-
POO cases.
Scientific investigation is clearing MP
some of the mysteries of the salmon.

1t is stated by State Fish Warden II.

GOV. HANNA'S FIRST ACT,
First Official Act of Governor Was
Against People in Interest of
Big Business.

Governor Hanna claims he has given
the people of North Dakota a business
administration" that has accomplished
SO much fo-' the state, yet the very first
pop out OF the box after taking office
he tried in every possible manner to
kill the existence Of the state tax com.
mission, which has done more to in.
crease the states revenues since state
hood.
The first attempt the governor made
to kill the tax commission was to have
his henchmen in the senate refuse to
confirm Governor Burke's appointment
of the three commissioners. When that
failed, he tried to knock out the bill
creating the commission.
The second plan also failed, and Gov.
ernor Hanna's third attempt was to We
to the appropriation for the commits.
sioners' salaries and expenses of the
commission. The three commission.
ers stood their ground and fought it
out. They appealed to the supreme
court and were sustained, so Governor
Hanna lost out completely in his first
effort to give the people a business
administration"
And what has the state tax commits
sion accomplished? The leased sites
on the right Of way Of railway compa-
neis placed upon the tax rolls by the
commission alone have aggregated six
teen millions Of dollars of actual value
or four MILLIONS assessed value. That,
at least, should have paid for the cost
Of the commission itself, if it had done
nothing more. So ~s4ss.+s 81 -s-~. ,.'s."
In addition to this it has placed d.
rectly and indirectly upon the tax rolls
from sixteen to t%wenty-four millions Of
dollars more with an assessable value
from four to six millions.
OF the former four millions, the reve-
u will not fall short of S250,0OO a
year. OF the latter it is probable that
the income for the state will range
from s150,0O0 to 100000 a year. In all
the creation of the tax commission,
which Governor Hanna, the business
governor" tried so hard to kill, has in
creased the Of North Dakota
In the last two years more thar $780,
300 annually.
