THE MANEATER

James Jimpson has savage pup, and when
it sees a stranger, it seems to wish to chew
him up, and put his life in danger With
smiling eyes James Jimpson sees whereer
aboard he sallies, the people shining up
the trees, or sprinting down the alleys.
Some morning James will call his dog, and
call and whistle vainly; it will be deadei
than log, and out of business, plainly.
Some angry victim of its jaws will feed it
deadly bitters, and whoop around with gee
because he slew that worst Of critters. It's

THE PRICE OF PRINT lPAPER

Examination into the increased price of print paper
by the department of justice has uncovered enough ev-
dence to warrant the asking of indictments of paper
manufacturers for alleged antitrust law violations
federal grand jury in New York is investigating to de-
termine if there has been criminal conspiracy in
srant of trade and yesterday the manufacturers weak
ened and offered to arbitrate prices Of course like
everything else paper has increased in price, but it has
increased apparently beyond all reason being advanced
200 per cent There does not any good for
this for the material is costly than before and
labor costing but little if any than before the raise
in prices. The federal trade commission will in few
days report to congress the subject the effect that
has found the increase in prices from four to 20
times the advance in production costs 1t will also report
that there has been actual shortage of print
paper and that manufacurershave helped create panic
among publishers by intimating there was one. The
newspapers hard hit by the unheard Of prices
prevailing They not in the fix the merchant
who raise the price at which he sells when the cost
price is increased but practically forced to continue
their subscription price unchanged This far sub
scrptions are concerned leaves the newspaper owner
without cent of profit from that source the paper ink
and press work costing much is received from the
subscriber for the printed sheet In of the larger
papers there is actual oss and the papers COM

The placing of the forfeited lands the tax roll will
do no harm and it is not likely to do any good There is
but little doubt but that the governments title will be
confirmed and when it is the lands will be in the

ACTING ON SUGGESTIONS

The bill doubling the tax autos may produce
revenue and it may produce nice fat little law suit
There difference of opinion between lawyers as there
always is as to the eOnstutionaity of the tax The bill
passing the senate yesterday recalled from the house
by Senator Osons motion yesterday to insert section
declaring it was within the police power of the state that
this bill was enacted into a law This done to
strengthen it against attack in the courts This bill was
passed as companion bill for the proposed bonding bill
by which $900000 would be raised for road building the
proposition being to the money paid by auto licenses
for paying the interest the bonds At six per cent this
yearly interest charge would be $474000 about $1,000
day AT per cent it would total $395000 or something
more than $1,000 day. This interest will run just the
same whether the auto licenses collected or not Sup
pose the auto license is declared unconstitutional Will
the people of the state who pay the taxes be content to
have this debt sadded them? The policy of this state
has been to keep out of debt and is policy that most
of the taxpayers ndOTSe The passing OF the bonding bill
now is doing business on suppositions With this bond
interest to meet should the auto tax fall where will the
tax limitation let the other affairs of the state get off?
Now that we have bone dry law as to liquor would
it not be wise to enact the kind of drastic legislation
as to lobbyists? Why would not law be all right for
bidding under penalties hired lobbyist entering
the state capitol during session OF the legislature Ihs
as all other legislatures has been beseiged from the open
ing day by paid to defeat this OF push that bill

step in the right direction if every paid attorney and
lobbyist was only forbidden to enter the state house

for each ofense 1t dead certainty that what these
paid lobbyists want beneficial to the people, and
they simply interfere with legislation and persuade,
or to try to- legislators to do things against the interests
of the people who sent them to attend to their business
The legislature may save $4,000 year by the cutting
out of one Industrial accident commissioner but why gag
at the gnat and swallow the camel that same Legislature
swallowed without even wly face, and it was good
sized camel too with the humps well developed BY cut
ting out the state aid to the department which is not
needed saving of 100000 could have been made, but
this was really too much The salaries of few senog-
raphe1s looked much bigger and then the salary Of the
commissonr was also great saving. The part OF his
salary the state would have to have paid was one eighth
Of that sum or about $500 The legislators saved that but
let the 100000 60 More than that the commission itself

HARTLEY FARM
HAS Fine SHOW
Cass County Stock Farm
Makes Splendid Exhibit
at Interstate Fair

One OF the most important depart
ments of the Interstate fair at Far
go this week was the exhibit of pure
bred stock of different kinds, and
particularly the fine herds of cattle
that represented the best of their
kind in this and adjoining states.
A remarkable showing was made
in their exhibit of Aberdeen Angus
cattle by the Hartley Stock farm Of
Page, N. D., which attracted the at
tention of the large crowds that
visited the barns each day of the
fair. They exhibited nine head, a
part of their large herd which is no
doubt the best bunch of beef cattle
in the state. They were awarded six
first, three second, and two third
prizes, Being defeated in only one
event in which they competed.
Special prizes were secured in the
grand champion class by Ensign OF
Glencarnock," grand champion bull,
"Enlotta", grand champion cow and
Princess of Page, grand champion
heifer.
The young stock that made up the
major part of this herd were raised
on the farm at Page, and they show
the results of the care taken in the
selection of the original stock from
which they were bred as well as the
attention that has been given to
their development.
This fine herd of cattle, selected
from the best stock in the west,
gives an opportunity for the stock
men of the, state to improve the
quality of their stock that should
not be overlooked.

auto POLO IS
EXCITING GAME
Every Contest Played for
Fargo Fair Spectators
Produces Thrills

Visitors at the Interstate fair have
stamped their mark of approval on
the new and most thrilling of all
games, auto polo.
If one goes to the grounds expect
ing to be mildly amused, he will re-
ceive to his Intense satisfaction, the
biggest surprise in the world. He
will laugh, he will hold his breath,
and the chills will creep up the
spine.
1t would seem almost certain that
the rushing, racing cars, travelling at
the rate OF 20 to 25 miles an hour,
would dash their player occupants
TO certain death, hurting the driver
and mallet-man to the earth. At
every game played for the amuse
ment OF the Interstate fair patrons,
one of the machines has tipped over
once or twice in the game, the oc-
cupants jumping in good time to
save their lives.
AS soon as a machine is crippled
in play, another one is sent into the
contest and game continues with in
terest tinabated until the whistle
sounds, and the official announces
the score for the period of play.

RELIABLE MAN
Big First Baseman of Maps
Is Good Hitter and Very
Snappy Fielder.

The case of Louis Guisto, the young
Californian who has taken Chick Can
dis place as first baseman OF the
Cleveland team, calls to mind that
there have been few big, heavy and
slow men who have played the initial
bag satisfactorily in recent years.
Guisto is probably the heaviest in
fielder in the major leagues today.
He weighs more than 200 pounds and
is barely five feet ten inches tall.
GuiSto is the heaviest man to play
first base in the major leagues since
the days Of captain Arson Dan
Brothers, Roger COnnor and Dave Orr.
All these men were not fast fieldeTs,
but terrific hitters, not only in dis
lance, but in the high average Of
number OF hits made Arson led the
league in hitting for years, and the
other three named we're at the top
some years and always among the
leaders as long as they played ball.
