Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
sPEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO MEN. u
So sang the heavenly host, to the shepherds the
Judean hills, procaiming the birth of the Savior.
Are there some Of us today who, looking aghast at
Europes fields Of slaughter, tempted to believe
Christ knelt in vain in the garden Of Gethsemane]
and suffered fruitessly the crossf Are we tempt
ed to declare Christianity failure because "Chris-
tian nations are weltering in bloods
Let those of us who are thus tempted in this dark
hour remember the words Of the Master himself as
He walked to his crucifxion
Ans there oSrsa HIM ..a xsss COMPANY Of people, ana
.t Jesus turning 70 shs said Daughters Of sssusssm

The world TODAY secs an answer 10 that Question
in this CHASTITY photographic of Christian ma
tl,ns.' The weeping of women resounds over half
the earth.
But there are other words of the Christ to be re-
membered, even in the midst of these sorrowful
sights and sounds:
7sHEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY
BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY
They shall not, even as they have not For nearly
two thousand years this earth has been ravaged|
with fire and sword Conqueror has dethroned CON
queror nation has destroyed nation; cities, states
and people have disappearcd-but the words of
Jesus, the Christ, have not passed away! No mael-
strom OF human hatred and carna ferocity has ever
engulfed them; they have lived, while every moral
hope, ambition, project, achievement has Haunted
its bubbleiridescence and, bursting vanished into|
empty nothingness
WEEP NOT FOR ME. my WORDS SHALL
NOT PASS AWAY"
Well may humanity weep for itself, but not for
Jesus or His message. The war will end We dol
not know how many more countries may yet bel
dragged into its ravages, but the will end, as
every has ended Rulers and nations will gather
themselves up amid the wreckage; humanity will
stand appalled, at the awful havoc that has been
wrought by greed, hatred, revenge and fear, mount
ing to full sway in the minds of potentates and peo
pies.
But through the red murk and above the sodden
fields will shine as clearly as everas clearly as it
has shone these nineteen centuries-the cross of
Christ casting it's radiant light of blessing and glory
into every receptive heart Still will there remain
mistaken and untouched, the gospel of Him who
knew the essential sefdestructiveness Of all that is
material and mortal, of all greed, hatred revengeI
and fear, and whose mandate was: "OVERCOMEl
EVIL WITH GOOD
How long it shall be before mankind heed this adj
monition of the Christ in the dealings of man with

yes most of these buildings and

yes most of these buildings and
their contents were placed upon
the tax roll by the local assessor,
but not all by any means. l have
no doubt that many thousands of
dollars have been paid by the peo-
pie of the state whose property
was listed by the assessor, which
should have been paid upon pro-
perty which escaped liability as
above stated.
In every one of the leases as
given by the railroad companies,
it is provided that the lessee,
(the person to whom the lease is
given). shall pay all taxes and as
Sessments that may be levied
against said leasehOld. or words
to that effect.
Some one may say the real own
er of real estate is liable for the
tax thereon. and that this tax
could not be collected from the
lessee legally.
This may be true to some ex-
tent. but should the lessee fail. ne
elect or refuse to pay the tax as
sessed against his leasehOld, and
should the authorities be conpell-
ed to go after the lessor for the
tax. the railroad company would
at once cancel the lease. and the
lessee would be ousted for his
of his lease.
This being the condition of
things along other lines as we'll as
on the right of way of railroads.
there has been a pressing demand
from all over the state that some.
thing should be done to relieve the
people of this unequal taxation,
and this matter has been agitated
i'm some localities for more than
ten years. OF course the fellow
who was evading the payment of
his share of the tax gave no en-
couragement to this agitation.
The legislature elected in 1910
and which convened in January
1914. and which l believe r am
safe in saying was one of the best,
if not the best body of men who
ever served thes tate in that ca
pacity, got busy and formulated a
law providing for a tax commits
sion whose duty it would be to
find this property which had Deen
escaping payment of taxes, and
have the same placed upon the tax
rolls of the state.
This law was approved by Gov.
Burke. and under which he was
required to appoint a tax COM
mission consisting of three MEM
bers: I believe he appointed three
of the best men for the purpose,
that could be found in the state,
Bro. Robinson to the contrary not

that Mr.. Wallace would willingly
do anything to iniure Mr.. Robin

merest rot.

"PAIR PLAY"
MAKES ANSWER
TO w. j. Robinson's Letter Of De-
fense Of County
Commissioner
FOR THEIR RECENT ACTION
Reducing Certain Assessments In
tho County Ono Hundred
Cent

In the pioneer days of North
Dakota. when the early settler had
little communicationwi the out
side world. no means of getting
the products of the soil to market
nor securing the necessaries of
life from other parts of the world,
the railroad builder could secure
from these people any conces-
them access to the markets where
they could sell their produce and
obtain the things needed by them
in their frontier life.
Following this condition of
things. our early railroad builders
among other privileges. obtained
for themselves broad strips of
land as a right of way on which to
build their road. These strips of
land were from 100 to 400 feet
wide. and especially so where
there townsite. and where now
stand the cities and villages of
the state. On these townsites the
right OF way was. and now is. from
200: to 400 feet wide.
Now on this right of way many
OF the first business houses were
erected for the reason that they
would be nearer the station and it
was easy to get a lease from the
railroad company permitting the
erection of buildings. the only
Limitation being that certain kinds
of business could not be carried
ON in said buildings.
At first the local assessor was
bluffed off when he attempted to
assess these buildings and their
contents. and told that this prop
erty being on the right of way was
assessed by the State Board of
Edualization: this was untrue as
every one now we'll knows. but it
served it's purpose and much pro-
Derty thus escaped the payment
of tax. and consequently the pro-
Derty owner whose property was
listed by the assessor. was re-
duired to pay a higher tax.
Finally the most of the build
lngs. which included elevators,
coal and lumber sheds. creamer-
les. factories, banks. general
stores and in fact almost all kinds
of business carried on in the state,
