MURDERER IS STILL AT LARGE

Beulah, N. D., Nov. 9.-The muir
derer of Carl Maier, we'll known and
popular man of this town, who was
shot and fatally wounded while on a
public highway near here, is still at
large. All efforts of posse have
proved unavailing. Every clue is be-
ing followed with persistency.
A coroner's jury turned in ver-
dict of manslaughter by an unknown
assailant.
No motive for the crime has been
unearthed and authorities are at loss
to account for the action of the muir
derer. The shooting was done with a
5000 rife carried by Maier. Marks
on the road show that a struggle en-
sued and it is presumed the man came
upon Maier without warning, wrested
the gun from his hands and then shot
him, making his getaway on horse
back.
The posse will continue their hunt
until results have been obtained, &C
cording to the sheriff of this county.

375, 900 BARRELS OF FLOUR
PRODUCED IN ONE YEAR

North Dakota flour mills produce
approximately 375,0OO barrels of flour
year, but despite that fact, nearly
100000 barrels are imported into the
state each year from outside mills.
AS a result, approximately 100000
barrels of the flour manufactured with
in the state is compelled to find mar
ket elsewhere.
This rather striking statement with
respect to the milling situation is on
the authority of a competent expert
who says that North Dakota mills, not
including the midget" mills with
their daily production of from Is to rs
barrels, could increase their capacity
to 100000 barrels annually.

work no such expense item as this

the product and in many cases where
the contracts have been filled and the
money received therefrom distributed
in either additional equipment,
wages, salaries. and dividends. It is
impossible for the retroactive tax 10

that this feature is unfair, even
though II does happen 10 be a corpor-

Il am reliably informed that the
largest company engaged in this busi-
ness-the DUPONT company-employs
about 10000 men in its various
plants throughout the United States,
and in the last year and a half II has
paid directly, in wages alone for the
manufacture OF military explosives in
the last year and a half. S45000,000.
, The men employed in their plants
have been worked on eight-hour
shifts and, in addition to receiving a
scale Of wages higher than has been
paid heretofore for similar work, they
have been granted an additional 20
per cent. bonus in wages. In addition
to this sum expended in wages, this
company has been indirectly respon-
sible for the expenditure of a greater
amount to labor on raw materials and
machinery which it has purchased.
4 have inserted the above remarks
because l not only deem it my duty to
do so. but, after investigating the
facts. ! fully believe that this bill is
unfair and drastic in many Of its pro-
visions and as such is not warranted
by the conditions existing az this
time.
There are some features Of this
bill for which ! would like TO vote, as,
for instance, the tariff commission, the
dyestuff section, as well as the pro-
vision regulating unfair competition.
A tax on munitions of war, distrib-
uted equitably and fairly, would not
be opposed by me, in view Of condi-
tons the country faces today. for
which, however. the Republican party
is not responsible. l have no hesitancy
in saying that favor an income tax
but believe that this tax should be
collected on incomes as low as il II

lect this tax. believing that it tends
to better citizenship and interest in
government if more individuals bear
the burden of this income tax. even
though it means in many cases not
even a dollar a wear, which is the kind
OF income tax levied in other coun-
tries of the globe which use this as a
means of revenue. / shall therefore

Exports For War7

1T is interesting TO note the ex-
ports of other commodities from the
United States to belligerent nations
since the beginning Of the war. and
which might rightfully be considered
as munitions. Within the 20
months after the outbreak os the war
rubber to the value of S42 900 900 was
exported from the United States for
military purposes; likewise automo-
bile trucks and passenger automo-
biles to the value Of S142, 600. 900 were
sold for military purposes abroad !;
aeroplanes and parts TO the value of
about SS 100000 motor cycles to the
value of over s4.O00000. and wooden
goods to the value of $50. .00O. 900.
These are authentic figures with re-
spect TO only 2 few Of the commodi-
ties which may rightfully be termed
as munitions. There could be added to
the list such articles as canned
meats. army rations of various kinds
shoes, harness. saddles. blankets.
kerosene, gasoline. acids. alcohol. loco
motives parts of submarines. range
finders. stamped metal military equip
ment swords. bayonets. bromine and
other military gases barbed wire and
other products of iron and steel.
1T is probably forgotten that since
the outbreak of the war horses TO
the value Of S13O.0O0O0O and mules
TO the value of S31 100000 have been
exported for military purposes: that
guns and ammunition used by the
belligerents are taxed, but the ami
