To the Voters Of bottineau County
QUESTION FOR BALLOT

Shall Bottineau County Cooperate with
the United States Department of Agriculture
and with the Agricultural College, to secure ap-
preparations from the United States Govern
work?
The Board of County Commissioners has been re-
.quested to submit the question of cooperating with the
United States Department of Agriculture and Agriculture
al College, in the employment of a County Agricultural
Agent, to the voters of the county, that this question may
be given proper consideration the following information is
Submitted:
The County Agricultural Agents are jointly employed
by the United States Department of Agriculture, the Ag-
ricultural College and Bottineau County. Payments at
the rate of $24OO.O 90 per year, are now being made through
the United States Department of Agriculture and Agri-
cultural College for the support of the work in Bottineau
County.
During the twelve months, September 1915-August
1916 inclusive, the total cost of County Agent work to
Bottineau County was $25O4. "a. The assessed valuation
of Bottineau County is $40, All, 900. 90, thus the actual ex-
%penditure would equal a levy of .23 mills twenty three
hundredths of a mil, or for each $1,000 90 of the assessed
valuation of a piece of property ENT ONE
represents the levy for County Agent work. The average
quarter section of Bottineau County is valued at approx
mately $3.50. 90 thus, based on the cost of work during the
months indicated the total tax on a quarter section is
TWENTY ONE CENTS, eight and one. half mills.
The County Agent work is carried on under the d.
rection of the Extension Department of the Agricultural
College, and of the United States Department of Agr1cul-
ture. The County Commissioners agree to support the
work upon the approval of the Taxpayers, and the authorl-
ties of the institution agree to supervise and direct 1t. Full
reports OF the work performed, from day. to day. as well as
annually, will be filed with the Commissioners.
The question placed before the voters of the County
resolves itself into a question of whether Bottlneau County
shall continue to take advantage OF the cooperation as Of
fered by the Agricultural College and by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

FOR STATES
w. HI. ADAMS
the Voters of Bottineau County:

To the Voters of Bottineau County:
l am 0 the Republican ticket as a candidate for reelection to the office
of States Attorney.
When a present incumbent is asking for support in a campaign involving
the office of States Attorney, there is only one issue which he can consistent
y submit and only one issue which the voters car logically consider, and that
is the official record Of the man seeking reelection. This rule applies more
>emphatcany to the office Of States Attorney than it does to the majority of
county ofiees. An official whose duties are merely celercal "a servea term
of years without becoming at variance with a single of his constituents.
But the very nature Of the duties of a States Attorney since he must prose-
cute and bring to punishment offenders against the laws, makes it impos-
sbe that he shall not create enemies. A States Attorney must, in some
cases, u counter % the desires of few of the people of his county.
Therefore, the Issue for M to present and for you to consider is m y rec
ord as a public servant; how efficiently and how economically I have diGhar-
ged the duties of the office of States Attorney. It is, therefore, not unreas-
enable to ask you to consider, when you hear an adverse criticism IF nv work
as States Attorney, whether such criticism is actuated by the purpose of
securing more efficient service elm the office or whether it is prompted by sell
fish interests Or by the desire for retaliation.
! am submitting my candidacy on my record a States Attorney and N
my standing as a lawyer. | would be glad to have every voter compare Bot
tineau County with any other county in the state in the matter of law en-
forcement and believe that such a comparison would show our county pretty
close to the top, especially in the matter of the enforcement of The prohibition
law. This condition has been brought about and maintained at the least
possible cost to the taxpayers consstentw with getting results.
Feeling confident that you will determine the contest O this issue and
that you will not be swayed by fanced grievances, attempts at retaliation or
the injection Of issues wholly outside Of the States Attorney office, l respect
fully submit my candidacy.

SAYS DEMOCRATS FAIL
TO CUT LIVING COST

Reduction in the high cost Of liv-
ing, as promised in the Democratic plat
form of 1913 is a myth" declared Rep
resentative Julius Kahn. of California,
ranking minority member of the House
military affairs committee, in a state
ment given out here yesterday.
In 1912 the Democratic party promised
the people Of the United States to re-
duce the high cost OF living" said Mr..
Kahn. They Illuminated against the
protective tariff and blamed the latter
for contributing to the increase Of prices
for food products Of all kinds.
Instead Of reducing the price of lIy-
ing under this Democratic administra-
ton the cost Of food products has con-
stantly increased. Uncle Sam himself
feels the pinch.
The records OF the government dis
close the fact that under the Underwood
tarin bill. which is probably the lowest
tariff this country has ever had, prices
have advances steadily, and the end is
not yet
The Democratic party proclaimed in
1912 that the protective tariff was re-
sponsible for the high cost of living. II
was a beautiful theory with which they
fooled many of the voters of this coun-
try. Under Democratic free trade prices
have risen to the highest point in Amer
lean history"
