Washington. DC. May 18th
Apart from specific defects, the
structure OF the act as whole is
open to the gravest objections.
The criticism above quoted re-
fers to the income tax law, pass
ed by the Democratic Congress
as part OF the tariff bill. 1t is
taken from the report OF the tax
alton Committee OF the American
Bar Association. That report
was non partisan, made merely
tor the purpose OF having the law
improved from formal and tee
hnical point of view. 1t was an
extended, exhaustive and scienti.
hc analysis, conducted by men Of
the hig hest standing in the legal
profession. Their conclusions
therefore may be regarded as fair
anu Impartial.
Their verdict is a severe arraip-

administration in the enactment

In this report on the income

less than twenty FIVE manifest

Governor Dockery, Third ASS
Istant Postmaster General, who
has direct supervision of postal

peals from all over the country
to open postal savings accounts

some weeks ago OF working out
a teasable and safe method for
meeting the demand.
Under the plan adopted by the
Postmasted General for opening
accounts by mail an intending

no regularly designated postal

The new leahet points out that
any person ten years old or over

make, the report declares:

1T is most unfortunate that
there should be any doubt as to
what this precise duty is. Here,
if anywhere, the law should be
clear and explicit. The provis-
ions should be placed together in
intelligent terms, instead of being
scattered, involved with other
provisions and phrased in obscure
language as they now are. The
act conveys the impression that
the trainers had not reached any
defiuite conclusions in their own
minds concerning the requirement
OF personal returns"
With no thought of making
political capital, this report spec.
ifcally outlines the one weakness
that dominates the legislative
methods of the present administ-
ration, saying:
Political exjgencies demanded
the speedy enactment of the law,
and there was not sufficient time
for the considerable OF detail"
Finally this committee of the
American Bar Association re-
commends a revision of the law
that shall extend to it's form as
we'll as to its substance.
"The entire act should be re-
constructed" concludes their re-
report, land there should be
placed upon the statute books an
income tax law so arranged and
expressed as to be convenient for
reference. consistent in all it's
parts and capable OF being under
stood by a citizen of average
intelligence"
There is no good reason for the
fragrant imperfections in the in
come tax law. They could have
been corrected by thoughtful, in
telligent considerat ton, and their
frequent occurrence in the act 10
still further proof of the needless
haste, carelessness and inaccur-
acy that characterizes the enact
ment of laws by the Democratic
Congress.

DRAG THE ROADS

It is within the power of the Road
Drag the COMMON ordinary $500 Split
Road Drag, in fact any kind of a road
drag, to Immediately increase very
materially the price of every acre of
farm land in North Dakota. The drag
can put into the pocket Of every North
Dakota farmer and land owner, many
dollars in a single season. All that is
necessary to do is to use it on the
roads. At a recent meeting of the
Grand Forks county township super
visors association held in the big new
court house at Grand Forks, the above
statement was made, and it was uni
~versally agreed to. 1t was further
pointed out that this constant use of
the road drag will be gradually
brought about by the persistent urg-
ing Of its use by word Of mouth and
thru the press.
Commenting on road dragging the
Minneapolis Journal said recently:
"The slogan of every town in the
Northwest these days ought to be,
Drag the Roads. Nothing so quickly
puts a dirt road in traverable condit-
ion as the use of the drag after a rain,
And nothing will so quickly make it
a way of ruts and holes and bumps as
failure to use a drag.
"The care Of the roads is of almost
greater Importance than the building
of new ones. Scientific road main
flamenco is a lesson that is learned al
too slowly in thi country. Europe
learned it long ago and practices il
with industry and success.
"The farmer, whether he drives E
car or horse, stands in need of a gooe
road on which to take his produce tx
market, and however shortsighted hi
may be as yet about the expenditure
of state money on great paved roads
radiating through the state from tn
various centers, he recognizes the neet
of having the roads he himself USE

business. ,~- - ~,, vi lgstag 4 +,.a'
IF the automobile owners in eacl
city of the state would get togethe

tained the conversion of good road
would be rapid and widespread. A lit

reams of argument.

SUMNER FALLOW
MOISTURE SAVING

The amount of moisture that the
summer fallow will conserve has u.s.
ually been over estimated. Careful
Investigations have been carried on at
the Edgeley, Dickinson and Williston
S~ub-stations to test the amount of
moisture that could be saved by sum-
mer fallow.
The result of this investigation are
given in Bulletin No. ITO Of them. D.,
Experiment station. The data shows
that the average amount of rain and
snowfall stored in the soil at the Ed
geley Satisfaction for the years 1907
to 1914 was IA Ia per cent, at the
Dickinson Sub-station 20 per cent and
at Williston, 81 3-4 per cent. This
means that a little over one-fifth was
as much moisture as could be saved
by summer following, and that on a
good summer fallow. 1t was plowed
in good season and kept free from
weeds or the amount of moisture saw
ed would have been less. 1t was also
found that enough moisture could not
be stored in the soil to make a crop
without some rain during the growing
season. The stored moisture was
found to be a help in carrying a crop
through a dry spell.
1t also brought out in the bulletin
that practically all the moisture that
is removed from the soil is taken out
by plants and that but little evapor-
ates from the surface. This empha-
sizes the need Of keeping down weeds
and at tn SAME time growing a crop.
That is especially true ofthe cultivated
crops as corn and potatoes. Much of
the moisture removed from the grain
field is taken out by weeds. The weeds
not only take out moisture when the
! grain crop is growing but in many
cases keep no growing all fall, remov-
ing moisture all the time. The re-
moving of these weeds would result in
a big saving of moisture, and it would
be a saving of moisture that is in the
soil.

WEEDS ROBBERS
INDEED

Weeds use the same kind of plant
food that the crops do and a large
amount of it too. These are the con-
illusions reached by J.W. Inc of the N.
D., Experiment station as reported in
Bulletin No. 112.
The weeds, when growing in COM
petition with crops, were able in many
cases to remove more plant food from
the soil than the crop did which had
been planted in the regular way.
For instance, in one case the weeds
contained 1-6 more nitrogen and 1-3
phosphoric acid than the wheat
among which they grew. In another
case, the weeds contained more than
twice as much nitrogen and two and
one-half times as much phosphoric
acid as the wheat they wer competing
with. In one case, weeds contained
one and three-fourths as much nitro
gen and one-sixth as much phosphoric
acid as the barley among which they
grew. Weeds growing among oats
contained 10-11ths as much nitrogen
and Sc as much phosphoric acid as the
oats.
This brings out very forcibly the ex-
tent to which weeds can rob crops OF
their food. It is a very severe indict-
ment Of the one crop system that fos-
tiers weeds.

THOUSANDS DIE
N"EEDLESSLY IN
SEARCH OF HEALTH
NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS AS
ISOLATION TELLS WHO SHOULD
GO WEST.

From 10000 to $4,000 consumptives
go West in search of health every
year. Such is an estimate made by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis in a
statement issued today based on re-
cent Investigations of the United
States Public Health Service. The
Association concludes that there ate at
present between 100000 and 100000
consumptives in the States of Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas
and Colorado.
Investigations were made during the
! past year by Surgeons of the United
States Public Health Service, P. M.
Darlington, in California, E. A. Sweet
in Texas and New Mexico, and A. D.
Foster in North and South Carolina.
The National Association draws the
following conclusins firm these studies:
~ Thousands of consumptives
attracted by the climate migrate every
year to the West and Southwest.
While no definite figures can be pro-
cured, the facts ascertained would in
dictate an annual migration of at least
10000 and possibly $4,000 into the
states of California, Arizona, Colora-
do, New Mexico and Texas.
(2) From 80 to SO per cent of these
consumptives are hopeless cases and
die within six months after their arri-
val, the per centage of those dying
within 80 days running as high as Is.
(3) A large, but unknown percent
age die in almshouses or n the re-
%cipients of charity, and the great ma
jority of these could have been made
comfortable in their last days if they
had staid at home among friends and
relatives.
az From 40 to 80 per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the West
and Southwest are natives of other
states, nearly so per cent coming from
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee and New York.
(5) People who can afford it and
who are not in too far advanced stages
of tuberculosis will find the climate OF
the West and Southwest an aid in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
(6) No one should think of going
West or Southwest for his health I'M
less he has at least $1,000 above his
railroad fare, and can leave his fam
lily in comfortable circumstances; and
no one should go who is in an advanc-
ed stage of tuberculosis or who has
not taken careful medical advice.
CO tuberculosis can be cured in
any part of the United States, and it
is far better for a consumptive OF
moderate means, such as the average
workingman, to go to a sanatorium
near at home, than to go West and live
in a more favorable climate without
proper food or medical care.
(8) Finally, there may be plenty
of jobs in the West and Southwest for
tiveable-bodied men but the consum-
ptive will find the greatest difficulty
in getting work, and noone should go
West therefore in the hope of getting
a job.
The National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
will send free literature or give in
formation about sanatoria and hos
pitfalls to any one inquiring at it's office,
