MYSTERY
IS THIS
Terminal Elevator Fund,
With Tax Illegal
There for Keeps?
(BY Stan Correspondent.I


Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 16:-fhe status
of the terminal elevator fund since the
repeal of the mill tax last November
has been more or less q mystery to
those who have not given the subject
close attention. It VIII be made clear
is to go to the legislature later in the
week. This report will show the fund
to contain $4,000 collected on the mill
tax levy during the first year, 1914.
Under the mill tax, In 1915 and 1915,
there was collected some $4,000, but
the repeal Of the constitutional amend
ment authorizing this tax has tied this
sum up so tightly that it is not avail
able, says the budget committee report,
The tax was levied in good faith and
paid willingly, apparently, because the
state is ready and willing to give this
prime issue of the N0npartisan league
thorough trial. And now that the
a loss just what to do with II.
1t cannot be returned, because such
a process would be quite as costly as
the tax itself, but there is nothing to
hinder anyone who feels they should
have 1t refunded from demanding it
and the state would be obliged to do
30, IT cannot go to the credit of the
was an unwarranted levy. 1t cannot
go to the general fund, because it was
mind.
The budget board, therefore, will ask
the legislature to figure out what to do
with the $4,000 legally, and to provide
in future that any fund levied for
specific fund also have the pFovise at
tached to the act creating the fund
that 1t for any reason the money may
not be used for that purpose il auto

This makes a rather good showing
for the school at Valley City, when
compared with the per capita cost of
states, where in some instances the
| cost goes beyond $500 per student, when
the operating expense should be less
than in North Dakota.
While neither room or equipment at
the institution are adequate at the
present time, the state has invested in
| the state normal school a total of $685.
$50 in buildings, and $59,504 in equip
ment, to say nothing of the seventy
seven acres of land that comprise the
| campus and farm.
The report shows that the school has
made progress during the past two
years. Attendance shows a wholesome
increase, especially in view of the fact
that other normal schools have been
| established in the territory that has
been tributary to Valley City. The
number of students completing the var
| iotls courses each year has shown a
| corresponding growth.
A comparison of the preparation and
experience of the faculty here with
that of the faculties of twenty-one
other leading normal schools in the
United States shows that the instruct
ors at Valley City are fully as we'll
equipped as in any other school and
Yet in comparison with the instructors
in these same schools, the members Of
the faculty here serve more hours per

Bismarck N, D., Jan, 16.-one of
the questions brought prominently to
the front in connection with the pro-
pcsal Of the Nonpartisan league to
give the state q new constitution, is
that of the bonded Indebtedness and
the financing Of state-ewned utilities.
Previous statements covering this
issue, made since the bill was intro
duced, have indicated that the bond
limit is raised from 100000 to $780,
600. and that in addition thereto pro-
vision is made for the issuance of
mortgages or bonds against state
owned utilities,
The section Of the proposed consti-
tuition relating to this problem indi-
Gates that while the bond limit Is fix
ed at 100000, in effect the limit is
done away with, Not only may the
state bond for public utilities, but
each of its political subdivisions will
be empowered to do so. Furthermore,
the measure proposes to guarantee the
states credit In the redemption of
such bonds or mortgages.
Coupled with the proposal for a
bond limit increase, or limit removal
is the question of financing the pro-
posed public utilities, The state could
Issue bonds for such utilities and the
investment OF school funds in such
bonds would be permitted"
Under Section las OF House Bill a.
which is the leagues constitution bill,
the debt limit is set forth in the same
words as the present constitution,
with the exception that the sum Ia
placed at 100000 instead of 100000,
Section 172 covers issuance Of bonds
for public utilities, enterprises or in
dustries as follows:

such bonds are secured by first

upon property of public utilities,

|, A full study of the effect Of these
changes in the constitution has not
been possible as yet. Members did not
receive their copies OF the bill until
yesterday afternoon, and it will re-
quire several days before they will be
FULLY Informed as to the extent and
effect Of the numerous changes that
have been proposed, as compared with
the present constitution. However 1t
is generally accepted that the amend
ments proposed in connection with the
bond limit and in connection with the
Investment of the school fund, are
among the most vital,
The relation of Section 172 to the
debt limit OF cities, is an interesting
feature.
IL it means what it says, then the
effect would be the removal Of any
debt limit for cities, counties, town
ships, or any political subdivision OF
the state. as set forth in the article,
the only requirement being, of course,
that the moneys expended shall be for
the purpose of public utilities, enter
pFises or industries.
Under Section ITO it is provided
that the debt limit of counties, town
ships, cities, towns, school districts or
other political subdivisions, shall
never exceed 5 per cent upon the as
sessed value of the taxable property
therein,
Section LIZ. however, would evil
IDENTIFY permit the subdivisions to ex-
coed that limit so long as they con-
fined themselves to the promotion OF
public utilities.
