eAbedient so TO do. NS'lch special coli1''
sci may be employed for the purpose
Of conducting any such proceedings.
The reason given for this provision
is that because district attorneys are
paid a salary they will not conduct
the suits required under this act. and
therefore n special counsel In neces.
sary At substantial fee. We believe
this 10 wholly unsupported by the
facts and that district attorneys are
willing and ready TO perform any du'
ties required Of them In their capa'
city ~ public officers.
II the district attorneys act for their
counties under this law the 5 per cent
penalty exacted under each judgment
will be paid into the county court
fund and will save just that much to
he counties In the cost Of the courts.
II special counsel IL employed this
sum will be wholly lost to the counties
The present salaries Of the various
district attorneys. their names and the
uames and salaries Of their assistants,
with the amount Of penalties which
ran possibly, br corrected IN e"ch
sounty. appear herewith.
II only half the delinquent taxes are
collected the fees would more than
pay the salaries Of all the district at
torneys and their assistants for a year
AS the work OF collecting delinquent
taxes year after year is continuous,
these penalties. II the work Is done
by the regular officers as II should
be. will each year pay q considerable
part OF the cost OF the courts. II II
Ia paid out In special fees this large
sum collected annually will be largely
wasted. There is no good reason
why the district attorneys should not
do this work rs well as or better than
special counsel.
The evening current., 1917-07-18

There IL a new law on tax collec-
tons, passed by the last Legislature.
The machinery is a little better Errors
can be corrected. The title to proper
" sold to the county for taxes vests In
the county, and the property, not the
tax certificate can he sold. This law
provides. as to items OF taxes ex'
ceedins SIS, a somewhat better meth
cd than did the old law As to items
OF less than Se5 there In no improve
ment In procedure. In one respect
the new law contains n dangerous pro
vision capable OF serious abuse. This
provision Is contained In section 8.
which reads a. follows
Sec. e. In entering judgment IN all
such cases the clerk shall add to the
amount OF tax. penalties and costs. a.

Upon this point the attorney gen

The section referred to provides

Take Motorcycle,
Also Steal Ford

A Harley Davidson motorcycle and
sidecar, owned by R.. I. Rudiselle, en-
ploye Of the N. P. yard office, was
stolen from the Rudiselle home some
time during the early hours of Sun
day morning. Theft was discovered
later in the day, and Sheriff T. N.
Hartung Immediately notified. The
sheriff at once got in touch with au-
thorities of surrounding towns, warn
ing them to be on the watch for the
thief, but thus far he has not been
apprehended.
The thief was trailed for several
blocks north and west, and then back
into the city, where the trail was lost.
The theft was bold one, the machine
being in a shed only rs feet distant
from the residence.
A Ford car, belonging to Harry
Lee, was stolen from near the Kihm
hotel Monday morning. The owner
discovered his loss short time later
and search was instituted. Later,
the sheriff was informed Of the theft,
and authorities of Mandan, Glendive,
Medora and other cities nearer Dick
inson were notified to be on the
lookout for the car and it's occupant.

Ted Hnrt Islsg Busy
Man; Court House
Yard Is DOLIed Up

Sheriff Ted Hartung is a terror to
evildoers, and his appearance on the
scene spells woe to the thug or
slicker who is trying to pull off a job,
but that is not the only place where
he shines. He is strong for the city
beautiful idea also, and is doing his
bit to make Dickinson more slightly
place of residence.
,s This week he has had number of
prisoners at work beautifying the
grounds about the court house, and
the place is rapidly assuming the ap-
pearance of a well-kept park. His
guests at the county bastile are
nanicuring, massaging and currying
the lawn with a vim, all rubbish ac-
cumulatcd during the winter is being
cleared away and burned, and beds are
being prepared for flowers. Trees are
being planted, and when summer rolls
around the grounds will be one OF
the beauty spots Of the city.
All Of the trees around the court
house were planted during the former
regime Of Mr.. Hartung, under his di-
rection, and he has spent much time
in making the surroundings Of the
court house more pleasing to the eye

Beluar-r-e Bold
4e# Butter Bandit Is
Raiding Icechests

A bold, bad thief is perambulating
about in our midst. Every morn may
be seen traces of his nocturnal labors,
family ice boxes giving mute evidence
of his depredations. This budding
Jesse James is especially fond Of milk
and butter, and dairy products receive
no quarter when he swoops down upon
them s. ~. .%:5
For the past few days he has been
operating throughout the city,, and
among the places which he has hon-
ored with his midnight presence are
the Mckenzie and Ayers homes and
the Bachelors club, that abode of
reckless young blades who scorn the
state connubial. No clue as to his
identity has yet been uncovered, but
let him bewar-r-re. The sleuth
hounds Of the law, the Arsene Lupins
Of the village, are on his trail, and
woe be to him if he comes within
their ken-for butter is now umpteen
cents a pound and soaring every day.
