against us in our interest rates. We
feel that our low valuation should be
changed. We therefore recommend
the adoption in fact of the valuation
of property at it's value in money as
originally provided for in Section 176
of the constitution or that some clas-
sifcation of property as regards pro-
portionate value be adopted as pro-
vided in that section, in order to make
it possible to divert sufficient tax pay
ments into the general fund of the
state without imposing upon locali-
ties the necessity of collecting taxes
for which they have no use."
The committee earnestly invites the
careful consideration of this PROPOSE
ton not only by the members of the
legislature but by the people and
newspapers of the state so that if
there be any fault in the proposition
or that it would initiate to the dis
advantage of any or all of the people
it be called to the attention of the
Legislature.
The committees finds certain appro-
priations, payments and commissions
paid tc different officials and boards
that are not warranted and that ought
to be repealed or modified.

how many counties there are whose
county buildings would be appraised
at a lower figure than $4,000. And,
of the counties which would not to-
day come within the scope of this
bill there are very many which would
be affected by it in cast of a fire. A
county may today have buildings
worth $4,000. How much would the
salvage be worth tomorrow, after a
fire? That is a matter which inter-
ests the people of probably three
fourths Of the counties of the state,
if not a greater number.
Everyone will admit that there
ought to be some means to remove a
county seat when the public interest
demands it. The present law pro-
vides a method which is sufficiently
easy, and which has been found quite
practicable. When a county seat is
once established it should be consid-
cred fixed with some degree of per-
manence. To make it possible for a
bare majority Of the voters voting at
an election to move a county seat
would result in endless confusion and
enormous expense"
81 am certain" said he, "that if
this bill becomes a law, we will have
in this state such a crop of county
| seat removal fights as we have never
| before seen. Communities will be
torn up and thrown into the turmoil
of an election on the mere chance
that something may come of it to the
| advantage of some ambitious COM
munity anxious for county seat hon.
ors. I find that there is a good deal
of interest in the subject since the
real purport of the bill is becoming
understood, and representatives from
| several other counties will be in Bis
marck on Monday to enter their pro-
tests against the bill. Nelson county
will have several other men on the
ground by Monday and we feel GER
thain that when the situation is un-
derstood the bill will speedily be de-
feated."
The following from Bismarck or
February 18th, throws further light
on the county seat bill, several of the
Objectionable features having beer
stricken out:
. Michigan, as the prospective county
seat Of Nelson county, was practically
eliminated from the field when the
North Dakota senate passed Senator
Mudgett's bill permitting the remov
al Of county seats by a majority vote
but amending it in such manner a!
making it applicable to only sucl
county seats as are not located OF
railroads.
This amendment leaves the old two
thirds vote requirement so far as La
kota is concerned, against which cit!
the bill was partially aimed. Onl.
Mckenzie, Dunn, Steele and Olive
counties are liable to county seat re
movals under the majority feature

So, 29,13S.O4 Of this sum $780,
328.99 represents the Federal Govern
ment's share of the opens of
~slaughtering affected herds and re-
imbursing the owners for their loss,
of which the government pays half
and the individual states the remand
er. The figures show that exclusive
Of the work in January 101,17G ami
mails have been slaughtered. Of these
46,268 were cattle, 47,735 swine and
the remainder sheep and goats.
The money now at the disposal of
the department will, it is believed,
aid the campaign against the pesti-
lence by enabling the government to
make prompt payment to all n
of infected herds, and thus minimize
the reluctance of farmers to have
their stock slaughtered. In Illinois,
for example, approximately 100000
is now available for this purpose. The
loss in that state has been larger than
in any other, 36,758 animals alto
gether having been slaughtered.
Pennsylvania comes next with 1886
animals, and Ohio third with 1O,111.
None of the 16 other states in which
there was an outbreak has lost as
many as 5000.
In those states in which the local
guarantees have been rigidly en-
forced and in which the farmers
themselves nave aided the authorities
to stamp out the disease, satisfactory
progress has been made at a smaller
expense than was at one time feared.
Indiana and Michigan, where the dis
ease originated, were, for example, at
first hard hit. Much of that territory
is, however, now entirely freed from
quarantine and in only a small area
is the movement of live stock abso-
lutely prohibited. In Indiana 6,127
animals were slaughtered, and in
Michigan TITS.

HOUSE BILL NO. 312
is STIRRING UP THINGS

The following bill introduced by
Representative H. J. Blanchard was
thought at first to be Of interest only
to the people of Dunn county but this
week objections were reported from
the eastern part Of the state. Later
in the week it was reported that sew
,eral amendments had been made,
leaving the so that it would
not effect county seat towns on the
line of railroads. The original draft
of the bill is as follows:
An Act to Amend Section 1851 of
the Revised Codes Of 1905 as Amend
ed by Chapter 81 of. the Session Laws
of 1907 being section 1926, c. L. 1918,
of the State of North Dakota, relat-
ing to. the Removal of County Seats
and Prescribing the Votes therefor,
Be it enacted by the Legislative AS
semblyu of the State of North Dakota
Section l.. That Section 1851 of
the Revised Codes of 1905 as amended
by Chapter 81 of the Laws Of 1907
being Section 1926 C. L. 1918, of the
State of North Dakota be and the
same hereby is amended and re-en-
acted to read as follows:

question, each elector must vote for
the place in the county which he pre-

have been received and compared and
the result ascertained by the board.
