TAXATION

TICK up dlIuOSl dHy
and somewhere within it will he
found an article on taxation. ThSt
question of taxation has been agi-
tating the world for 10, these many
centuries, it has never been settled.
We suspect it never will be. Az
p~racticed it is filled with anomalies.
For instance, a great church or
cathedral is built, the congregation
is filled with rivalry in the matter
of its adornment.
One wealthy member supplies the
organ; another the altar or pulpit;
others the stained windows; until
when completed the structure
represents two thousand dollars
expended for pride for every thous-
and expended for essentials. But
when it comes to levying taxes, the
tsx-gatherer is warned away from
the structure because it is Gods
house. But under its shadow is a
little house and lot. In the house
is a tired woman and five babies
the husband and father being away
earning the mone- needed 10 feed
and clothe the babies. Which does
anyone think God holds as dearest;
the woman and the five children
and the father away at work, ur
the big church in the shadow of
which the little home is situated?
Still the home is taxed for its full
worth and the tax has to be paid
while the big church is held as too
sacred to tax.
1t is the same way with hospitals.
They evade taxation on the score of
being charitable institutions. They
do a little charity work. the same
as the man who runs a bar some
times gives a tramp a drink, but
all who can pay are charged to the
limit in those institutions and the
truth is every one is run, not for
charity but for the money.
A bank is taxed on its capital
stock except when the owners of
the bank own likewise realty, then
to the extent of their realty, the
tax on the stock is RENTED.
A wealthy man builds a $20, 200
house and puts $4,000 more in
furniture within it. He is taxed
at what the house and furniture
would bring at forced sale. But
the poor man in the 5000 cabin
pays full taxes upon it.
A rich man loans 81, 100000 on
mortgages in an outside state, of
course the state in which he lives
has no lien upon that, but the men
who borrow the money have to pay
the taxes upon it in the outside
state and have to send the owner
of the mortgage his interest.
These are only samples but they
are sufficient to show that after
the years Of trial there is no where
in any spot under our flag anything
like fair taxation.
Apparently the genius of man
has never yet devised q plan
through which such taxes a be
levied and only one thing is made
clear which is that the poor man
who owns a little property always
pays more than his fair ratio of
taxation. -Goodwin's Weekly.

When a bright green rug was put

recently and a lurid red creation was
laid In the sanctum of his secretary,
Joseph Patrick Tumulty, several of
those present could not refrain from
commenting about the lack of fitness
of the color scheme. Secretary Tu..

however, and a great admirer Of the

the jests by saying that nothing was

II seems probable that next year a
commencement will be made with the
construction Of the railway bridge be-

land, which will be the longest in the

Of this great engineering work Is, how

than 81 ,o00,0 900, or less than a third Of
that Of the Forth bridge.
It would appear to be rather the
success Of the train ferry from Sass

the ever-increasing popularity Of Ru.

to the projecting Of the contemplated
viaduct. Originally 1t was estimated
that the number OF railway passengers
to or across the island would reach
100, 1000 only In 1915, but so popular has
the route proved that this figure was

FARM MANAGERS
HOLD MEETING
FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION OF FARM
MANAGERS ASSOCIATION WILL
BE HELD IN FARGO, JAN. 21-
BANQUET WILL BE rendered
MEMBERS.

The fifth annual meeting Of the
Farm Managers association is to be
held in the Fargo Commercial club
rooms, Jan. 81, 1914. This association
is an organization made up Of the
owners and managers of large tracts
Of farm land. The problems of large
scale farm management differ ma
terially from those Of the family farm
Of 800 acres.
Some of the managers Of large hold
ings have faith, however, that the
economics in management that can be
practiced should be utilized to the
best advantage in the planning of
their future farming operations. 1t
is the purpose Of this organization to
bring together such persons as inter-
ested in this work for the discussion
of methods that have been successful
on various types Of farms in a large
way.
Many have made a sue
cess of some one phase Of their work
and their experience will be of much
value to some other who has worked
out the problems of some other line.
Some Of the topics that will be con-
sidered at this years meeting are as
follows:
TdCloIS influencing Ilc ouICSSS OIL
the Tractor for Farm Work, Methods
of Leasing Farm Lands in which Live
stock shall furnish a part of the In
come. How Can the Dairy be Made a
Profitable Adjunct to Large Scale
Farming, The Management Of Labor
on Large Farms, Managing Leased
Lands for Clients.
Everyone who is interested in the
management Of large holdings in the
northwest should arrange to attend
these meetings. Many Of these will
be attending the general meetings of
the Grain Growers convention and
will find this one Of the most inter-
esting meetings of the week.
The banquet will be held Wednes-
day evening, Jan. 81. All who are
interested in the work of the associa-
ton and can arrange to attend this
banquet should notify the secretary
at an early date.
