TAX RATE Of 200 CENTS
State Demands $40, 1000 of City's
Money.
Schools Get $1,000 More Than Last
Year and Fire and Police DEPART
ments show increases Be-
cause Of Bigger Salaries.

At a special meeting of the board Of
aldermen Thursday evening, held for the
purpose of fixing the tax rate on the
grand list the ensuing year. resolu-
ton was passed levying a rate OF two
hundred cents on the dollar of the
grand list. This Ia fifteen cent raise
on the rate of last year and Is equal
to the rate two years ago. But As
matter Of fact the city will have five
cents less on the grand list to use this
year than It had last year when the
rate was $1.s5, as the State tax this
year, fixed at the last session of the
Legislature, is 20 cents on the dollar
of the grand ,ist.
This will mean that the city will
have to be run on a closer margin than
last year when the rate was fifteen
cents less and. after the budget has
been made up, there Is left a little less
than $4,000 as a margin to work upon
the coming year. The State tax of 20
cents on the dollar amounts to $4,000,
which is 100000 in excess of the tax
paid the State last year. The schools
get $1,000 more than last year and
other increases are in the Are and
police departments. where there is an
increase of $1,000 in each case due
to the recent raise in the salaries of
the men in these two departments. The
appropriation for the health depart-
| ment is $1,000 less. this department
having that much on hand left over

WHAT is A CARTOON?

We note that the Grand Forks
Herald has established cartoon service.
The work of the ''artist" as to drawing
is fair and the humor expressed is not
too coarse-as in some other cases. A
cartoon is very expressive manner in
which to express thought or idea, but
to be successful must have real idea
behind it. Humor is but an exaggera.
ton of the truth and the cartoon is a
form of humor. A cartoon without
humor-isn't cartoon, just caricature.
When the little boy who has just had a
whipping from his teacher revenges him
self by drawing crude figure on his
slate and writing beneath it This is
teacher" that is not a cartoon, because
it lacks real humor.
All humor however is not funny. 1t
may be most bitterly sarcastic and even
mean and still be humorous. There
must be wit but not necessarily laugh
in a taking" cartoon. Many people can
draw picture but not many have the
sarcastic humor to put in to make it a
real cartoon. A good newspaper cartoon
is a ''cut' IN two senses.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Along the European battle lines the
troops appear to be marking time and
but little fighting IS being done. Tho
weather probably has more or less to do
with this inaction but to many people
this portends getting ready for that last
great clash which so many have expect
ed and prophesied.
On the seas however, Germany has
made her threats good in the renewal of
submarine warfare and is getting from
five to ten merchant ships about every
day. So far there has been no special
loss of life reported and no Americans
drowned. No American vessels have
been sunk though the Norwegians have
lost large number. Whether the Brit
ish navy is getting any of the submarines
is not officially known, but private indi
viduals lnsist that there are many cap
lures and that many subs are now in
obscure harbors OF Scotland.
Our own relations with Germany have
been the absorbing news topic and in a
general way the situation has not
changed since last week. The ambassa.
dors of each country with their respec-
tive retinues have departed for home.
A rather curious circumstance OF
which official details are not yet known,
was the detention of our Minister Ger
ard at Berlin for several days, apparent.
ly because Germany thought that this
country was taking active measures of
reprisal by OBTAINING Count Won Bern
stoff, seizing the interned ships that are
here and confining the German sailors
of those ships. According to establish.
ed custom Of all countries for many
years the United States authorities &C.
corded every possible courtesy to the de.
parting ambassador. and took no active
measures In reference to the interned
German vessels or their crews.
Meantime the general status remains
the ssme. Germany has thus far COM
mitted 10 overt act. It will be hardly
possible however for Germany to con-
tinne the ruthless" sea war without
sometime directly interfering with
American rights upon the sea. a@
It is stated that Germany has applied
through, the Spanish minister to this
country, 70 again open diplomatic cor
respondsnce formally or informally
but met with : positive refusal from the
President, the lattsr saying that until
Germany vent back e her assurances
