Says Law Violates Treaty.
Judge Pollock of the district court
at Fargo has handed down a decision
In the interesting Inheritance tax case
of Howard Moody as executor OF es.
tate of Martin A. Hagen, deceased, yer.
sus Eliha A. Skardkrud, ct al, appel.
liant and the North Dakota tax com.
mission, respondent, in which he held
that the state inheritance tax law in
assessing larger tax against non-resl.
dent alien heirs is unconstitutional
and In violation OF the treaty existing
between Norway and the United
States.
That this case will go to the Sill.
preme court for final decision is as.
sured as it g most important case
and it is expected that the tax com.
mission will test it to the limit.
The portion of the inheritance tax
law in question is that section which
specifies that resident aliens have to
pay a tax Of 1.5 per cent while non.
resident aliens are assessed rs per cent
Of the inheritance.
Bliss Urges Better Roads.
There will be spent for the building
and maintaining of roads and bridges
in the state of North Dakota during
this coming season Of 1916. over two
and one-half million dollars. State En-
gineer J. w. Bliss urges that every
township and county board in the state
set aside percentage Of the amount
available for road dragging. Road
officials of any township or county that
has not already adopted plan Of .sys,
tematic road dragging can be assured
that money so spent it wisely spent.
IN deed, for "stitch in time saves
nine" Let the motto, then. for 1919
be: Build better roads and drag all
improved roads when they need it,"

Time to Look Over Potato Bin.
This is the time Of the year that tho
potatoes should be looked over. Those
that show signs of disease If left IN the
bin will infect the potatoes near them.
Mr.. Milbrath Of the North Dakota Ex-
psrimental station, explains below
how the diseased potatoes will look
and what to do with them.
Potatoes that have been stored even
under good conditions will now begin
to show Indications OF disease where-
ever it ia present. Diseases such as
wilt and stem rot were so prevalent
I'm the fields during the past Summer
that 1t is safe to state that there will
be some evidence Of disease in almost
any bin.

Debate on Floor.
COMPROMISE OVERTURES
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
Controversy in Which New York
Presbytery Is Involved May Be
Reported Back in 1917.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J., May - 1T
was evident today that some of the
leaders of the Presbyterian General As
sembly in session here are trying 10
prevent bitter debate on the floor oil
the convention over the alleged hetero-
doxy of the New York Presbytery, and
have the matter adjusted without any
discussion on the part of the assembly
in open session.
The committee on bills and over
lures, of which j. Ross Stevenson,
Princeton. is chairman, today reported
several minor overtures and recon-
mended their references to different
committees. and then asked for further
delay to make report on the Ne"
York Presbytery controversy.
There are several compromise over
lures before the committee. one pro-
poses that a committee be appointed by
the assembly to go to the New YORK
Presbytery and make thorough IN
yestigation and then report back.
Despite warning issued saturday
against the distribution in the assem-
bly, of pamphlets on controversial mat
tiers to come before the commissioners.
paper written by the Rev. John Fox
of the New York Presbytery on the
subject Critical Scholarship Versus
the Bible" appeared on the foor or the
assembly today. 1t supports the oppo-
nents of the New York Presbftery.
Later an overture from the W ashlneton
Presbytery following up certain recon-
mendationS made in the FOX pamphlet
but asking that the suggested lnNeS-
tigatine committee report back in 1917.
was received by the assembly ana turn
ed over to the stevenson committee.
