Richest State in the Union
Value of Our Crops Is 1913
Per Capita-No Other So
Rich.

Bismarck, March Sit will prob
ably be happy surprise to North
Dakotans to know that this state is
by far the richest agricultural state
per capita of any state in the union.
This is attested to by the records in
the office of the department of COM
merce at Washington. in a bulletin
sent to Commissioner Flint Of the agri-
cultural department of this state. 1t
may sound like fairy tale, and the
surprise may be so great that many
may have tendency to take these
statements with grain OF salt, but
the following statements are true and
indisputable:
The value of the crops in this state
if distributed evenly to every man,
woman and child in North Dakota
would give each one 1913. This is
five times that in California; over
three times that of Indiana, over four
times that of Illinois and almost three
times that of Iowa. No other state
state anywhere nearly approaches
North Dakota in the per capita
wealth of it's products. South Dako-
ia is the nearest, and it is 1913 per
head behind. The people of North
Dakota are almost IS times richer
per capita in products that the state
of Massachusetts. In manufacture
ing the pople of this state are worth
$33 per capita, and in this regard
the state has kept apace with all
other states in the union, that is in
it's development, and while it has
not been able to cope with the older
states there has been no time when
it has been crowded down from its
position. Other states have fallen be-
hind.
Both Of these conditions, that is.
crop raising and manufacturing, are
sure to advance in this state. Thera
is an era of development and pros
perity ahead Of North Dakota and it
is at hand.
North Dakota is the last state in
the union to feel the depression Of
hard times and the first to regain itself
from same. Is it any wonder that
this condition exists when the wealth
of the state per capita is 50 high?
The cotton market of the south is
subject to such depressions as it is
now experiencing; the fruit crop of
the west never has been a stable one.
while the manufacturing Of the east
is affected by the barometer of trade
and trade conditions. Bread and
meat they must have and that is
what North Dakota excels in. Real
ly North Dakota is the best and most
fortunate state in the union.

Thought Corporations Paid
Tax Enough and Were Bur:
dened With Reports to
Make Out.

Bismarck, March 6.-The closing
hours Of the fourteenth legislative
session saW a number OF bills tina.
have had o. rock road to travel pass
ed and handed over to the governor
for his signature.
Probably the most novel bill passed
at this session of the legislature is
what is known as the Nelson county
seat removal bill. Under this bill,
which many of the lawyer members of
the legislature believe to be unconsti.
tutional. it will be possible to remove
county seats on go per cent vote in
stead Of requiring two-thirds as at
present. There is little question but
that the constitutionality of the bill
will Immediately be called into Ques-
ton if it receives the signature of the
governor. The history of the bill yes
terday is unique. The conference
committee appointed at first recon-
mended that the house recede from
it's amendments, which would have
left county seats off the railroads in
jeopardy. The senate refused to &C.
cept this report, while the house did,
receding from it's amendment and
when this condition became known
the senate's refusal to concur was
called to the attention of the house
and the lower house reversed it's de-
cision. In the senate a further amend
ment to the long list already made
was offered, which excluded county
seats situated on sections 13 and "a
which would save Bottineau county
from a fight. The house then failed
to pass the bill as amended. the first
vote being short of a constitutional
majority but on second roll call the
bill passed by vote of GO to 81, and
as the bill goes to the governor it
provides for the removal of county
seats that are not on railroads and
those within three miles, 1000 feet of
line. Exceptions to the bill are
county seats located on state boun-
Diary lines, county seats on the Mis-
souri, river, those having court houses
valued at $4,000 and over and those
on section IL and "a. This measure
effects Lakota and Rolla and any at
tempt to move those will result in the
law going to the supreme court.

COME MILES TO HEAR
WELl.KNOWN MAN TALK
CONSOLIDATION.
PICTURES A GREAT FEATURE
Superintendent Nelson and Deputy
Barton Also Assist 49, Will
Cover Barnes County.

Professor A. P. Hollis, of the Agri-
cultural COLLECT, is campaigning
Barnes county this week with Miss
Miss Minnie Nelson, county superin-
tendent of schools and O.. A. Barton,
deputy. Consolidation Of schools and
agricultural contests are the principal
topics and great interest is reported
in the meetings, farmers driving in
from adjoining districts miles away
to see the pictures and get the facts
The first meeting was held in a dis
trict eight miles north Of Leal, where
Miss Clausen is the teacher. The
, school house was packed. The roads
are in wretched condition, too bare
for runners and too snowy for wheels,
but this did not stop the farmers.
Wednesday afternoon the speakers
travelled 80 miles over rough roads to
District a. in Svea township. There
was large attendance at the church
where the meeting was held and an
enthusiastic response for a central
school building.
Thursday afternoon the famous
Green Township Farmers club enter
tanned the trio. Here was gathered
the largest crowd of the series, some
of the people driving eight and nine
miles from other districts. Many
could be seen walking on the roads
leading to the church. Here Miss
Nelson and Mr.. Barton both made
telling speeches for better schools.
The choir did some fine work and
then Professor Hollis gave his lecture.
He changes this lecture, putting a
number of new slides in each district,
so that those who hear it several
times enjoy it equally well. This dis
trict has already voted a costly new
school building, but will have to vote
again on consolidation. The Green
Township Farmers club is a hu:.. ling
organization and holds meetings ev-
! cry week.
Friday Mr.. Hollis speaks at Minnie
Lake and Friday night at Oriska. The
campaign will wind up Saturday at
Rogers. The consolidation sentiment
lis rapidly crystalizing in Barnes
county and modern four-room build
ings are being planned.

WENT FOR Wife;
Hailed TO war

Jamestown, March 4.-Taking a
wife is usually attended with greater
or less risk, mutually, Of course, but
in these days of belligerency in the far
east it is1attended with hazards of
even more serious character.
Nicholas Gagelo, a native of sunny
southern Italy, has been a section
laborer here for the Northern Pa
cifc railway for some time and not
long ago had accumulated sufficient
wealth to warrant his entering the
state of matrimony. The girl of his
choice and of his dreams was far
across the blue Atlantic and the float
ing mines and the submarines in
Italy, but he dared all of them to
claim the hand of his black eyed
beauty and to enjoy connubial fe-
licity.
But alas, and alack. With the sud-
denness and terror of torpedo at
tack all his fond dreams are SHAT
tered and Nicholas is now in the
trenches with his nations colors at
the front somewhere. Instead of get
ting married as he fondly hoped, he
was seized upon his arrival in his
native land, mustered into the army
and given no opportunity even to
see his intended.
Such is life and war is all that
General Sherman declared it, comes
in correspondence from star of Italy.
And the green fields of North Dako-
ia and the long lines of shining steel
stretching away to the horizon on
the prairies seem to Nicholas as
dream.

SENATE Was VERY EASY
ON CORPORATIONS TAX
BILL FINALLY KILLED
Corporation Tax Measure Killed.

| Corporation TAX Measure Killed.
House bill 449, known as the corpor
alton tax measure, was killed during
the closing hours Of the senate SEES
sion, 1t being put to sleep on a mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone. There
was extended debate botn IN the after.
noon and the morning sessions. Sena-
tor Leutz made the motion that finally
defeated the bill. He supported his
motion for indefinite postponement on
the plea that corporations were al
ready taxed to the limit and that they
were already burdened with a large
number of reports that they have to
make. Senator Leutz also called at
tention to the fact that railroad taxes
had been increased over 400 per cen.
during the past % years and that
farm land had only increased II cents
per acre during the same period.
Senator Davis supported the meas
ure with the plea that it would result
in obtaining more revenue for the
state and stating that the machine
companies of the state were now only
paying about $4,000 to the state and
that there was a much larger amount
spent in the courts in protecting their
interests. He admitted that there
were some bad features in the bill, but
asked that they be taken along with
the good ones and an experiment be
made as to the value of the measure to
the state. In calling attention to the
tax on local corporations he made the
statement that a local elevator COM
pany Incorporated for $4,000 would
only pay yearly tax of $1.25.
Those voting for indefinite postpone
ment were Albrecht, Allen, Bond,
Gardiner, Gronvold, Hamilton, Heckle,
Hughes, Jacobson, Kretschmer, Leutz,
Mallough, Martin, Mcbride, McFad-
den, McGrey, Mclean, Mudgett, Muir
ply, Nelson of Grand Forks, Nelson of
Richland, Nelson of Rolette, Paulson,
Porterfield, Putnam, Rowe, Thoreson,
Young.
Those voting against Indefinite post
ponement were Barnes, Bonner, Bron-
son, Clark, Davis, Englund, Ellingson,
Gibbons, Hyland, Kirkheide, Lind
strom. diversion, Sandstrom, Sike
Steele, Trageton, Vail and Warter.
