VALUE OF The new SETTLER
Argument in Favor Of immigration
Work by the State.

Argument in Favor of immigration
Work by the State.
Bismarck, March 3.-The legisla-
ture is considering an appropriation
for immigration work and bill is be-
fore the house, having passed the
senate, creating state immigration
board and doing away with the old
immigration law. The bill is object
ed to by members of the house on the
ground that the 100000 appropriated
will not bring in adequate returns.
Many OF the members favor some
! active work on the part of the state
to secure new settlers, the only ques-
tion being the way in which the work
is to be done and the manner OF ex-
pending the money. 1t is recognized
that unless the right men are in
charge of this work the money would
be frittered away in various schemes
that would amount to nothing. The
value of immigration, however, is
recognized by all the fair-minded
members. Major j. S. Murphy is urg-
ing an appropriation for the work
and his experience as immigration
agent of the 500 has given him some
strong arguments to use with the
members. 1t is known that the 500
company has secured good many
new settlers along their line of road,
and by employing the same or other
practical methods every part of the
state can be benefited.
Value of q New Settler.
When a new farmer comes to the
state, he becomes customer of the
business men of the state. When
he sells grain, he pays a commission;
when he buys anything he pays
commission. When he deposits his
money, the bank makes a profit;
when he borrows money, profit is
made. Every transaction he makes
gives someone a profit; most transac-
tions give two or more profits, for
there are lot retailers and jobbers
in the state. All farmers were for
merly emigrants- the question is,
what is the average farmer worth to
the balance Of the state.
From the census we learn that
there were 74,360 farms in the state
in 191O-we assume that many farm
ers. The census also shows that
those farms produced in 1903 the fol-
lowing crops:
Grains, grasses, vegeta-
bles, etc. 81 S0,635, 500
Dairy products 4,SI2,3O4
Eggs 3,O45,6S7
Poultry raised ........ 1,53O,4O
Lives took sold and
slaughtered ....... IA 4,4o6|4S
74,3GO farmers there
fore produced S2O4, 4,922,3 1888
That means that the average farm
er produced $2,754 worth Of crops
in 1909. Substantially all of that
money was expended, invested or de-
posted in the state-most of it spent
for articles sold by other residents of
the state. Assume that the average
FARMER spent s2,700.00-that the
average total commissions received
by other residents of the state was
| 20 per cent-that means that the av-
erage farmer paid other residents of
the state $54O a year. If he pays
that in the average year, and his chill
dren pay like amount after he is
dead and gone, it means that he is
quite an asset. If we figure the rate
of commission % per cent, it means
1915 per annum; and as he pays COM
mission when he sells his products
and another when he buys, and the
wholesaler or jobber collects another,
25 per cent. would not seem to be
abnormally high.

Tinis, Transcaucasia. March A.
The Russian army OF the Caucasus.
driving the Turkish forces before it,
has reached the River Khopachas. the
estuary of the Tchoruk, In Armenia
This advance by the Russians cuts
the route of Turkish reinfOrcements
and supplies from Constantiople to the
Caucasion frontier, through Khopa,
Turkish Armenia, and isolates large
section of Turkish territory.
The isolated section includes the
districts of Ardnuch, Ardahan, Olti
and Sari Kamysh.
The Russian forces advanced from
Batum, on the Black sea near the
Turkish border, and were opposed by
the Turks at every step.
They were assisted by Russian war
ships, which cleared the shore OF
Turkish forces and cut off successive
ly several avenues Of Turkish COM
munication by sea until only the
KhOpa route remained.
After a battle of three days this
last route was closed effectively.

No Change i'm State Board of Educa-
tiOn.

Bismarck, March 3.-House Bill
273, introduced by the committee on
Education and which would change
the personnel of the state board OF
education, was killed in the senate
when it came up for third reading.
The present law provides that the
state board of education shall be
made up of the president of the Ag-
ricultural college, the president of
the university, president Of the Indus
trial school, president of one of the
normal schools, the inspector of rural
and graded schools, the high school
inspector, county superintendent
and a citizen of the state not interest
ed especially in school work. The
new bill would make the board con-
sist of the seven members, the state
superintendent of public instruction
being one member and the governor
to appoint the other six, three to be
school men and the other three those
not engaged in school work. When
the bill first came up for considera-
ton Trageton of Grand Forks wanted
to strike out the word male" SO that
a woman might be eligible to the
board, but the motion was lost. Ham
ilton then wanted to amend so as to
make the board a non-partisan board,
but this motion was lost, and then
when it came to vote the bill was
defeated, there being only Fl for it
and % against the measure.
That is the only bill there was any
tilt over in the senate and the upper
branch of the legislature got through
with a lot of work. Twenty house
bills and six senate bills were given
final action in the senate. Adjourn
ment was taken but the house Will
convene at 10 o'clock to get rid OF
the work that has piled up in the
committee Of the whole.

RE-hPP0RT|ONMENT
BILL WAS KILLED
No Change in Legislative Rep
resentdtion.

Bismarck, March 3.-The house
run up against stone wall when the
new legislative re-apportionment bill
came before the committee of the
whole. There was argument galore
for and against the bill, which pro-
vides that there shall be one senator,
no more and no less, from each coun-
ty and that the representatives be
based upon population. Cass county
delegates were against the measure,
as was Grand Forks. Trail county,
in the person of Burnett, was for the
bill, but his fellow members from
Trail would not line up with him on
the question. It was finally voted to
indefinitely postpone the bill by a
vote of IS to 4S.
There were only two other bills be-
fore the committee of the whole and
they were of minor Importance.
There were but few bills acted
upon in the house and recess was
taken until ten o'clock this morning,
as there are great many bills in
general orders and some of them are
sure to start fight.
The one-man tax commission bill
will be in the committee of the whole
and there has been some unexpected
opposition developing to this bill dur
ing the last few days. The immigra-
tion bill is another that will have to
receive the attention of the commit
tee of the whole and that is also
going to cause a fight of pretty good
proportions.
