North Dakota's Needs
Call for Tax Increase

Bismarck, Jan. 26.-To raise the
amount which the budget board con.
siders necessary to finance North Da-
kota's public affairs for the ensuin g
two years, a 20 per cent increase in the
present assessed valuation Of the
state will be necessary.
In 1914 the assessed valuation of
North Dakota was $308,000,000. The
20 per cent fiat increase made by the
Legislature in 1915 brought the total
up to 385,000,000, and the ten per
cent reduction decreed by the state
board of equalization on farm lands,
railways and city and town lots in 1916
reduced the valuation to 1884, 100000.
Now this assessed valuation, to net
the $1,700,000 per annum which the
budget board believes necessary to
carry the state through the next two
years must be boosted to $425,OO0,-
900. The natural increase in property
values will help some, and the legis~
lature is expected to do the rest.
The rate for general expenses will
during the next two years be one
eighth mill more than for the past
three, total of four mills, instead of

Equity Plans Great
Meeting at Bismarck

Bismarck, Jan. 26.-At least 1000
members are expected to gather in
Bismarck for the state convention of
the North Dakota Society of Equity, to
be held Fed. Z, 8 and 9. IF conditions
demand it," said a leader in Equity
circles today, I'VE can make it 5000"
He did not explain what he meant
by conditions, but at the time he
made the remark he had one ear cock
ed toward the house, where debate on
Bill No. "A was in progress. 1t is
more than suspected that the new
constitution presents the possible
conditions" referred to.
The municipal auditorium, probably
the finest convention chamber in the
state, with accommodations for LOO
to 1900 people, will be turned over to
the Equity society for it's meetings.
Two and three sessions will be held
daily; notable speakers from North Da-
kota and other states will have places
on the program, and the convention, in
view of the circumstances under which
it is to be held, promises to be one OF
the most interesting Bismarck ever
has entertained.

trial work in sheep feeding at the
Williston experimental sub-station,
and were fed on North Dakota grown
feed, including alfalfa, small grains
and some screenings, under the per-
sonal direction of Charles Ruzicka,
superintendent.
The achievement follows three

So determined is Mr.. Byrd that
there will be no idlers in Virginia.
as soon as he has the data before
him, request will be made Of the va
rious town and county officials to use
the law in forcing these parasites TO
work. It is believed that in the ma
iority of instances, where the local
laws will not apply, that the state
vagrancy law can be used effectively
and all persons reported will be prose
cuted accordingly
It is estimated that there are
several hundred well-dressed and able
bodied men in Virginia who make 1t
their business to frequent corner
stores or other gathering places, who
enrape in no work for the economic
welfare Of the state. On the contrary
they play the role of consumers
rather than producers They dram
the food supply instead of doing any
thing to build it up. Such a life is
entirely at variance with the patriotic
duty of every citizen at this time,
Mr. Byrd says, and if it continues
there are ample laws on the statute
books to correct it
So cogent was the proposal Of Mr..
Byrd that the vagrancy laws of the
State and the town ordinances against
idline without visible means of sup
port be invoked .to>round up loafers,

THE KAISER'S ELBA.

Brazil abrogates neutrality and is
all but at actual war with Germany.
Argentina, Venezuela and Chile are
all in sympathy with Brazil and the
United States against Germany, and
the close of the war will find against
that power practically snited North
and South America, if that union
shall not have been actively arrayed
in arms against it.
The Louisville Courier Journal
asks was ever a more stupendouls
blunder than when the KAISER, having
g;iven the word to his Austrian tool
to start the war, marched forth in
ali, the splendor Of the Prussian mill
tary machine, via Belgium, to seek
and take his place in the sun?
Already he has lost all his COLI
mics. When he finally quits the
struggle he will have made enemies
of those regions-notahly Latin

rected.
The empire which will be his, if
he shall be permitted to return to
Potsdam with crown still upon his
head, will be as inexpansib!e as the

|, stituted the dominion of a certain
ambitious predecessor Of his at the
end of the wars which were to make
him, also, master of the world.

Marriage statistics, which are

these statistics and forward them
