FIXING THINGS.

Chairman Charles Nesbit, of the
treasury departments special food
commission, declares that there Us
Just one way to avoid a coming food
shortage. The biggest crops ever
raised must be produced; the govern
ment must guarantee market to the
farmer, fix minimum prices for his
principal products and buy his sur
plus.
Sounds good, but equitably fixing
prices for farm products would re.
quire work enough to justify forma.
ton Of another government within our
government.
Why single out the farm?
Charles Nesbit has real job if he
attempts discrimination in price fix,

A NOTED CONVERSION.

We note with pleasure the CONVEX
sion Of Representative Isaac Sher-
wood of Ohio. After making a solid
record as a pacifist, he is enraged by
the latest submarine outrages and de-
mands war, offering his services to
the army.
Isaac was secretary of state for
Ohio away back in 1869 and is 81
years old, but he'll fight. Being a
northwestern Ohio Democrat, Isaac
will fight twice. any foe, on any
ground. He never belonged in the
peace.at-an price crowd, anyhow,
and we demand that Isaac be given
chance to fight 1t is due any man
who has lived 80 years of this life
and is still looking for personal trou-

ANYTHING MORE?

Since announcement Of her "unre'
stricted" submarine policy, Germany
has sunk neutral, passenger and even
relief ships! She has now sunk at
least two unloaded, unarmed Ameri-
can owned, American built and Amer
lean manned trade ships.
If anything more is needed, it must
be that IAN overt act necessarily in
cludes wholesale murder. The viola
ton of international law and interna-
tional rights is as perfect as it could
be made without the drowning Of a
fresh lot Of American women and
children.
If our trade is worth going to war
about, it has sure been assassinated.

WHAT KIND OF A WAR?

Upon our engaging in war with
Germany. there will undoubtedly be
some radical and immediate changes
in public sentiment and new align
ments of popular opinion.
Unquestionably, the country will
solidly unite behind the admnistra-
ton, pacifism will largely disappear
and the country's business will be
war. But. when the question as to
what kind of war arises, there is
bound to be division.
The effect Of war with Germany
will be war with Germany's allies
and yet. we have few national griev-
ances against Austria. Turkey or Bull.
garia. Nor is 1t likely that any of
these last named would, or could, per,
petrate upon. us covert acts" which
seem necessary to get our war dan
der up. -
Doubtless, the allied powers will
urge Uncle Sam to become party to
the treaty which binds the Allies to a
common cause in conduct Of the war
and to make no separate peace.
We will likely have in our country
one war party favoring close union
with the Allies and the making of war
as the Allies make it, and another
party insistent upon our making it a
separate, independent war with Ger,
many, leaving Uncle Sam free to re-
turn to peace whenever Germany re,
moves the cause of war, be the same
sooner or later
One party will assume the attitude
that Germany is mad dog" and we

A Duke at Age of Nine; Big
qest Little Man In England

London. March 25.-Bernard Mar
maduke Fitzlan Howard is the great
est little boy in England! He is go
ing to be 9 years of age in May and
is already weighed down with the
staggering duties of his father, the
late Duke of Norfolk.
Before his fathers death Lord How.
ard was Earl of Arundel. Now he is
Duke of Norfolk Earl of Arundel and
premier duke and earl of England!
Which means, if Lord Howard were
at dinner party he would lead the
procession Of guests into the dining
room, and all other dukes and earls,
no matter how much older or more
experienced, would bow to him.
Little Lord Howard now is owner
Of a 15,000-acre Yorkshire estate, an
imposing mansion in St. James square
and a Norman castle in rundel.
His greatest job is presenting new
peers to the king and queen. He does
this under the title Of Hereditary
Earl Marshal and Chief Butler of Eng
land!
or course, until Lord Howard is
of age, someone will be commission
ed" to take his place at court. Mean
while Lord Howard will go to school
and enjoy himself like other boys.
The little Duke of Norfolk is Boy
Scout and will use his 15,OOO-acre land
for camping and scouting with other
Boy couts.
When he gets as high as Elton, per-
haps. the young duke will realize what
ancestry he had
For instance, he'll learn that Here.

William the Conqueror in the eleventh

Honorable Board OF City Commits
sioners, Bismarck, North Dakota.


Dear Sirs:
Your auditorium committee sub
mits herewith report covering audi
forum affairs for the year 1916 as re-
ported by the manager and treasurer.
Attached to these reports are 40 en-
velopes containing original contracts
with show companies, statement show
ing receipts and vouchers covering all
disbursements. This committee has
checked all items and find same to be
correct.
The cash on hand Janutry /, 1917,
amounted to $789.23.
During the year 1916 moving pic
ture machine and booth were pur-
chased at a cost of $549.61, and the
balance due of $1,000 on the purchase
price of a piano was paid. These ere
permanent improvements and will not
occur again. In addition, during the
year 1916, we paid the 1917 insur-
ance on the auditorium which
amounted to $307.62. This insurance
should really have been paid in 1917.
When these three last mentioned
items are taken into consideration,
the 1915 operations of the auditorium
would show surplus of $536.92 over
the actual cost of operations for the
year. .,. # ..,a".v ,.' :

aggregate for 1917 $312.579.9S2, an in
crease OF $50, O96, $50.
Class 2, including livestock, agricul-
tural implements, merchandise, pun.
lie utilities, improvements on town and
city lots, ETC., will be assessed at 20
percent, as against Is percent last year
a decrease Of 20 percent, which
amounts to little, comparatively, as
the aggregate of all property of this
class last year was but $71.971,773.
The reduction will be $14,394,354.
Class 3, including household goods,
improvements and structures on farms
wearing apparel, stock other tian in
banks, bonds, moneys and credits not
otherwise assessable under a mill or
fiat rate law, will be assessed at i've
percent of it's actual value, a decrease
Of eighty percent, as compared with
1916. Last year all property of this
description was valued at $19,682,359
and the drop will be approximately.

Against a fiat rate increase in class

corded, therefore, a fiat decrease OF

The tax commission expects assess
ors to do this, and has so instructed
them. The result of this first exper-
iment under the new classification,
which is another step toward single
tax, in which all revenues will come
direct from the land, and improve
ments will be entirely exempt, will be
awaited with much interest

He secured from congress an appro.

piercing type provided with q delayed

shell back OF the armor.
Both types were tested at Sandy
