SATURDAY EVENING LETTER
By Justice J. E. Robinson

four mills on the dollar of the assess
ed valuation OF all taxable property
in the state, and sufficient sum 10
pay interest on the state DEBT. (Sec
t174.) ~ ..-..... g.. ....-. -,
No state tax shall be levied eXcep:
in pursuance of law, and every law inn
posing tax shall state distinctly the
object Of the same, to which only il
shall be applied. (Sec. 1852 -.
The debt of any county, township,
city, town or school district shall not
exceed five per cent of the assessed
valuation of the taxable. property
therein. (Sec. 1881
Under the constitution each polit-
ical subdivision must levy its own
taxes and impose and base its own
burdens 1t is for the state to levy
its own tax, to make each levy for a
specified public purpose and to
limit the levies to four mills on tic
dollar and the, interest on the public
debt. Obviously, there is nothing in
the act to show the object OF the j.
object OF the 3-mill levy or show it Is
for a public purpose. For the sever
al reasons the levy is clearly void.
The sum total of all leves for the
necessary expenses Of the state must
not exceed mills on the dollar in
any one year. This limitation it woulo
be quite impossible to fix and de-
termine If the state might levy on all
the different classes Of property 5
mills or cents on the dollar, and II
the state may discriminate and levy
three mills on credits. why not three
cents on other classes of property?
1t seems we are having altogether
too much tinkeripg with tax legisla'
ton, and it is done for the purpose of
raising excessive revenues. The only
safe course is TO assess and tax all
PROPERTY by uniform rule according to
it value in money and in every law
or resolution imposing a tax to. state
distinctly the object of the same.

CREDIT WHERE DUE.

One Of the best things Governor Frazier has
done during his administration was the appoint
ment of Major G. Angus Fraser of Fargo to be
adjutant general. There never was any question
as to the fitness of the man. Major Fraser was
a veteran of the old guard; one of the men most
responsible for the splendid efficiency which the
North Dakota national guard attained following
its reorganization, and man who as quartermas-
ter on the border in 1916 displayed new and
unexpected phases of that ability which he had
so often exhibited in other military capacities.
Fraser has been strictly on the job from the
moment he accepted his commission from the gov
ernor Understanding the men in the ranks, he
has been their steadfast friend. If there was an
advantage due the boys in khaki, General Fraser
promptly saw to it that they got it, even tho it
meant battle with departmental rad tape.
All of which is old history and facts well known
to North Dakotans generally. The occasion for
this present outburst is the announcement that
North Dakota, under the new draft regulations, is
to receive credit for the several thousand men who
were voluntarily indicted into the service under
the first draft. Washington at first, didn't think
it could be done. The adutant general believed
and insisted that it could be done, and he finally
has prevent, thereby preserving for work in our
fast-greening fields two or three thousand men
who are badly needed there just now. AS con-
sequence eight North Dakota counties whose boys
have periodically volunteered to go before their
time will be called upon to send no man in the
draft which has just been announced for May rs.
Furthermore, these counties are credited with 342
men who will apply on the next call. Bully old
Burlegh has "a of them; Cavalier has Cd; Golden
Valley 81; Grand Forks 48; Foster %; Rolette,
the only county in the state not called on for a
single man in the first draft, al; Ward 65; Wells
IT, and Dickey and Divide three and five respect
lively.
The Tribune rejoices over this saving in man.
power to the state not because it does not feel that
North Dakota should be glad to send every avail
able man to the colors, but because, having already
done our proportionate share, it is fully import
ant that every possible man be spared to assist
the farmer with his crops. No matter how many
men we send to France, we will have gained moth
ing if we are not abundantly able to feed them,
and upon North Dakota to a greater extent than
to any other state in the union with population
of less than one million falls the responsibility
of feeding the fighters of Uncle Sam. -:
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-05-05

The conclusion is that said chap.
tiers 229 and 23O are void in so far as
they provide for the levy of 3.mill
tax on money and credits and in so
far as they provide for the assessment
of money or credits not owned or hela
or used in this state. Hence, it is
ordered that in the making of assess
ments and tax levies under said chap
ters, the defendants and all persons
acting under them shall conform to
this decision and that the REALTORS
shall not be required to list for assess
ment and taxation any property, mon.
ey or credits of non-residents, only
such as may be held and used in this
state regardless of the fact that the
same may be secured on property
within the state. : :,s., ', i. ,->..,-....

COAL STORING

The following editorial was published by the
Anaconda Standard and has been circulated
throughout Montana by State Fuel Administrator
Swindlehurst 1t contains valuable information
and for that reason it is given circulation here:
ITO make sure of their ability to Keep the
Home Fires Burning next winter, the"co adj
ninstration keeps warning people to lay in next
winters supply of coal now. Next in Importance
to buying Liberty bonds ranks buying coal. Buy
Coal Now for patriotism, economy, safety and
common sense. -
professor Wolfe of the University Of Kansas
school of engineers offers timely advice on the
subject. He says coal should not be piled more
than six or eight feet deep in a bin. With hard
coal it makes little difference, but with soft coal
the Jumps or the nut coal should be piled together
and the slack coal piled by itself. If the coal pile
is kept we'll ventilated or kept sealed up tight
there will be no danger from possible spontaneous
combustion. That comes from the small quantity
of air admitted to coal piles packed just tight
enough to prevent free escape of gases.
I'm storing soft coal in the basement first put
in slat floor so that air can get under the coal
easily. A few boards and sticks thrown down
roughly in the form of such floor will do as
well. The air circulates freely and takes off the
gases. The air cannot get into the slack, which
packs CLOSELY dllu Consequently ho eo'luo'oA ~e'iA
start Do not wet coal for that promotes the CIV
ing off of gases. Keep the coal bin window open
all summer.
"These little precautions are made necessary
by so long storage. Coal deteriorates in storage,
but so slowly the loss amounts to little Deteriora-
ton is so small nothing is gained by waiting until
late summer or fall in fact, putting off the coal
purchase may prove expensive as prices no doubt
will be advanced later or it may be impossible to
get coal at all next winter. Coal should not be
stored in the open. rough bin will suffice tor
storing COAL but it should have roof if possible.
