GETS THREE YEARS.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 10.-Albert
Molte, who was arrested August "a
on a charge of having assaulted an
other man by the name of Albert
Krnech in a lower Front street room
ing house, was brought before Judge
Pollock in the district court and
pleaded guilty to a charge of man.
slaughter in the second degree and
was given three years in the state
penitentiary.
r. .Krench was assaulted with a cbu.
pling pin and his head was badly bat.
tered up, there having been two con.
cussions Of the brain. After the as.
sault he was taken to the county hos.
pital where he died on August %.
For a time efforts were made to gel
witnesses to the assault but there
were none and as Krench died with
out ever making a statement it was
difficult to get sufficient evidence for 6
murder charge. In fact, this was i'm
possible: However, Molte concludes
that it was best to plead guilty to tht
charge Of manslaughter and did 81
this morning.
He claimed that Krench attempted
to assault him with the coupling pi1
and that he took it away from hin
and hit him a couple Of times on tn,
head with it.

CHANGES IN
!: :. I Tax. <. SYSTEM

1t seems probable that the amend
ment to the state constitution provid-
ing for classification of property for
purposes Of taxation was adopted at
the recent election. If this proves
to be the case, it is all odds the most
far-reaching fact in connection with
this election, and will result in many
changes in the revenue and taxation
laws of the state.
We have discussed before the as
sessment of moneys and credits. This
commission believes that the assess-
ment of this class Of property at the
tax rate borne by general property
would drive capital from the state
and greatly hamper it's development.
For that reason we will recommend
to the legislature that this property
be taxed at different rate from other
property.
The millage tax on moneys and cre-
dts has been tried with success in
many places. 1t originated in Switz-
erland and was first adopted in this
country in Baltimore and is now in
use in Maryland, Rhode Island, Min
nesota, Iowa and other states.
The Iowa law has worked with uni
form success. The rate of levy is
five mills on the dollar Of actual valu-
alton. This tax is in lieu Of all other
taxes and covers the shares of stock
of national, state and savings banks
and loan and trust companies, as well
as all other credits and moneys. We
do not favor a change in the method
of assessment of banks for the reason
that bank stock now pays approxi-
mately one per cent in North Dakota
on it's actual value.
Iowa lists approximately $200,OOO,-
900 moneys and credits which pro-
duces an income of $1,O0O,0O0. This
valuation is distributed to the various
counties as other assessed valuations
are distributed. North Dakota lists
approximately 100000 of moneys and
credits annually on which we receive
an income Of about $4,000. While
North Dakota's population is approx
1nately one-third Of that of Iowa, our
revenue from moneys and credits, un-
der the general property tax is less
than one-thirtieth of that of Iowa.
A five mill tax on moneys und Gre
dts in North Dakota ought TO result
in a revenue of at least $500,OOO as
against $4,000 under the present
system. With such law capitalists
3 coming into North Dakota would base
their interest charges on a five mill
tax instead of a forty-two mill tax,
and in addition the state would re-
ceive more than fifteen times the pres
ent revenue from that source.

Duck and geese shooting has been
very poor SO far this fall, and the
only reason that can be- assigned is
that the weather has been so fine that
it has been hard to locate their feed
ing grounds, and as a general thing
they have made long and high flights.
There has been plenty Of hunters, but
very few good bags Of game secured.

The next day after the election the
Democratic Daily down the street
came out with another Of it's bare
faced lies, theheading Of which was in
very large ''barn door" letters, and
was to the effect that Senator A. ].
.Gronna had said, II don't want Cath
ole to vote for me-. The article was
under a Lakota date line, and purport-
ed to have originated in the city down
the line, but in factiit was carried to
the Journal by a local man and one
Of the political opponents Of the Sen
ator. No sane man would believe that
q man in the position of A. ]. Gronna
would make such statement, even if
he felt that way, and naturally the
average person puts it down as only
another one of the many lies it has
sprung about Mr.. Gronna, simply
because the Journal man has a par
ticularly sore spot for the senator. It
also twits him of sending the Menace
broadcast over the state, which is
only another one of its "ghost" stories
The article below coming fr,m the
senator speaks for itself and if the
Journal man or any other citizen can
prove its statement there is thous-
and dollars at their disposal to do so.
Lakota, North Dakota,
November.6 IS, 1914.
Under date of November 9Th the
Devils Lake Journal accuses me Of
having said, "I don't want Catholic
to vote for me-" I deny that have
made such statement.
On June "a, 1914, (election day. l
received letter from Bishop Wehrle
of Bismarck asking me if it was true
that I was responsible for the circu-
lation or distribution in North Dakota
Of large number of copies of a cert
ain publication called the Menace. I
Immediately called Mr.. Wehrle up
over the telephone and told him it
was not true but he asked me to wrfre
him, which did, and I also called on
Father Mcdonald and informed him
that I was not guilty of the accusation
made against me. Later on + saw
Bishop Wherle in Washington and ]
then told him personally that it was
not true that was in any way re-
sponsible for the distribution of this
paper in North Dakota or anywhere
else. I thot, of course, that this would
end it but I found during the recent
campaign that the same argument
was used among the Catholics, and
have no doubt that those who are moi
acquainted with me felt taaat wa.
not entitled to their support if I was
responsible for the circulation of this
paper. I deny that I am in anyway
whatever responsible for the circula
ton or distribution of the Menace.
assert that I have not paid for single
subscription to the Menace, and in
vite any good citizen Of our state
whether Protestant or Catholic, tt
make a thorough investigation and i:
these charges can be substantiated b!
proof that I have contributed single
penny to this publication I shall b
glad to deposit 1000 in any bank il

I will let my record speak for itsel
whether or not I have discriminate
