Senator James Hamilton Lewis
went into a barber shop one day and

and seemed to have been made from
Gala lilies. So
Within an hour after he emerged
from the barber shop Senator Lewis
had call from colored man.
All the time they were talking, the
visitor kept looking about him and
wrinkling up his face as If greatly
distraught.
Lewis asked him what was worry
ing him.

colored man, "but the's sump'n around

that this State Disseminated

You stated that the city of

the state at the rate of 8 IL per
cent while the farmers had to

lPRINTKD,B by REQUEST
Last Saturday was the first
annual meeting of the Hettin-
ger Equity exchange and it's
profits for the years business
showed up very well. All the
member patrons of the organ
ization received substantial
dividend checks and were
naturally we'll pleased, and
right here l wish as one of the
member patrons to compli-
ment the officers and manage
ment and l hope that the good
work will be continued in the
future.
After the business part of the
meeting was completed, the
president introduced one Mr..
Mckaig who gave us a very in
teresting talk on the condition
of the downtrodden farmers in
North Dakota. He told us how
the farmers as. a class were
robbed by everybody and that
they were paying all the taxes.
TO the remarks of Mr.. McKaig
| wish to take exception, Mr..
McKaig started his talk by re-
ferring to the fact that in this
great commonwealth we have
a hidden and mysterious or
ganization called the State of
North Dakota, the object of
that secret society being princi-
pally to send out trusted agents
called assessors whose princi-
pal duty is to sneak out on the
@ T." and catch the unsus-
pecting farmer unawares; get
a line on how many cattle,
horses and how much other
property he may have and how
much it is worth, and when
sufficient evidence is obtained
this mysterious individual will
inform the innocent farmer
that he is the dreaded assessor
sent out by the powerful State
OF North Dakota, and that it is
his duty to levy a tax on every
thing the farmer may have, in
Guiding the dog and his wife's
watch, Mr.. McKaig also claim
ed that these tax laws are so
framed that other classes that
are making enormous profits,
especially the bankers of North
Dakota. are practically exempt
from taxation. To prove this
argument he quoted the First
National Bank of Mandan,
North Dakota, which bank he
stated was capitalized at $780,
600 and had $25, 600 surplus but
he found on investigation that
this and other banks were al
flowed by law to deduct from
the caDital and surplus the
amount invested in real estate
and that he had found that this
bank had $40, 600 invested in
real estate and that consequent
ly this bank was only paying
tax on $1,000 when they should
have been assessed on $75, OOC
and he implied that the same
method was applied to all the
banks of the state. Now, Mr..
McKaig, | do not know how
much taxes the National Bank
Mandan pays or how much of
their capital is invested in
real estate but | am sure
of one thing and that is
that the First National Bank OF
Mandanis paying as much taxes
proportionately as any farmer,
business man or firm in MOI.
ton county. But let us do a
little investigating and com.
pairing here at home.
The First National Bank OF
Hettinger has a paid in capital
of $25, 600. 90 and a surplus OF
