TAXATION LAWS.

There are many taxation matters in
the legislative hopper for disposition
Without going into the merits OF any
of them at this time, it might be well
to examine them carefully as to form.
Many of them have been copied
bodily from the laws of other states
whose constitutions and general sta
tutes differ materially from those OF
North Dakota. One or two bills SUB.
mitted by the tax commission if adopt
ed will repeal vital sections of our
taxation code and render ineffective
important provisions of the present
law.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and other
states may have some excellent laws,
the merits of which it may be desir-
able to place upon our statute books,
but the present laws should be harm
onized so that the new laws will not
conflict with them.

WANTED: A NATIONALS BALANCE
WHEEL.

United States is confronted with a
serious crisis in upholding the trade
rights Of neutrals. 1t is to be hoped
however, that the state department
will not be trapped into any policy
that will increase the possibility OF
war and threaten the peace and pros.
perity of our nation.
We should not abandon the positioli
OF strictest neutrality to become the
catspaw on any of the belligerents,
be they English or German.
1t is a nations sacred duty to pro-
tect the life of lis citizens abroad un-
der certain conditions, but sufficient
instructions have been served upon
all Americans in the war, zone for
their guidance so that this nations
policy OF neutrality can be more easily
maintained.
There should be no convoy Of war
ships to escort out trade to neutral
ports. Such action is merely plac-
ing a chip on our shoulder and invit,
ing trouble. Our ships and our citi-
zens will be safe if the state depart
ment is stern enough. Vacilating
craftsmanship, however, may plunge
us too into the ruinous conflict.
The time to insist upon certain re-
strictions relative to the trade block
ade was not after u ships struck
mines or were t%orpedoed but before.
The United States should insist UP
on enforcement Of the established
rules of international law. Other neu-
trails will join us in enforcing such
regulations as between n%on-belliger-
ent nations.
1t is no time for hysteria or the jim
goist, nor does politics have any part
in this big problem confronting the
nation in its greatest crisis since the
Civil War.
Existing treaties may be as scraps
of paper" between belligerents. but
they should still govern the relations
of neutrals.

FLIES.

The winter season, naturally, is
not the period in which most persons
are likely to take measures to prevent
the breeding of flies. In the summer,
when the flies are thick, the wish will
be frequently heard that preventive
precautions had been taken. In the
course of an inspection, January I, oy
the sanitary bureau of New York, in
response to complaints regarding a
heap OF manure, dirt and rubbish not
far from a public school in a crowded
district of the city, a rather startling
state of affairs was revealed. The
heap Of manure was found partly
covered with tar paper and rubbish in
which, despite the cold weather pre-.
vailing-and there had been not. long
before a series Of days with the TEN
perature well down toward zero
flies were observed to be actively
breeding. The Bulletin remarks,
This emphasizes the importance of
properly caring for horse manure
throughout the year and teaches anew
why the filthy fly is always with u.s.
Until definite precautions are taken
during the winter to prevent the &C.
cumulation of heaps of filth and par
ticularly piles of horse manure, in ex
posed situations under conditions ia
vOrable for breeding, the fly will prob
ably continue to be the nuisance anC
the serious danger to health that il
has always been. But it must no
lbe forgotten, says The Journal of the
American Medical Association, tina
whenever we are ready to get rid O
the fly nuisance, our boards of healtl
can accomplish this purpose withou
enormous trouble, probably after tn
first year without much additional eS

OF REASON.

Prohibition is safe in the hands OF
its wise friends.
Few in this state want the prohibi.
ti0n section of our constitution repeal
ed. To do so would be to take a step
!, backward.
The time is coming when the regu-
lation of this traffic will be by fed
eral law. State after state is getting
i into the dry column as fast as public
opinion demands.
North Dakota has had prohibition
since statehood and is one of the
: pioneer states in the restriction of
the liquor traffic.
Let us not mar this record by con-
stantly agitating freak" laws which
are not in harmony with the spirit and
intent of the constitution.
1t is easier to defend principles
from the attacks of the enemy than to
resist the vagaries Of misguided en-
thusiasts.
Let the present temperance LOBBY
return home and spend the energy
wasted in the legislative halls to
creating sentiment for better law en-
forcement in the respective locali>
I ties.
Reason triumphed in the senate yes
terday when House Bill No. Il was
defeated. The defeat would have
been greater in point of votes had
not the issue been enormously joined
. with that of prohibition. -
This fight should serve notice on
all derelict officers of the law to en-.
force the provisions against the liquor
traffic without fear or favor.

patch of adhesive plaster instead Of
a wad of cotton and long strips Of

used by the surgeons generally only
for fractures Roller bandages are
being used as seldom and as sparingly
as possible. Plaster Of paris dressings
