COMMISSIONERS:
Will MAKE new
TAX LAW WORK
Meetings Are Being Held in
Grand. Forks4This j.
Week. >

The state tax commission is hold
ing a hearing in the court house here
as well as In all counties throughout
the state, upon thN assessment of
money and credits. N. w. Carlson
has been employed as field agent and
has made Investigations in each
county. upon the basis of informa-
believed to have moneys and credits
which were not returned for asses
ment, are appearing before the tax
commission for p hearing.
To Make Law Operative.
The object, on the. part of the tax
commission in taking this action is
to effectively put into operation a new
money and credit law, which was
passed by the last session Of the legis-
lature. This law Classics moneys
and credits, taking it out from under
the same basis as other properly.
and assessing it at the flat rate of
three mills on the dollar. Under the
old law moneys and credits were as
sessed the same as real estate and
personal property, under which If
money apd credits were returned III
many districts, the tax would, in many
instances, be greater than the income
received from the property.
OHuer tne Ola law IL became the
habitual custom of taxpayers to eth
err fail or refuse to slist this class of
property, but under the new law the
rate of tax being so low there is no
why every taxpayer should not
make a full return.
1t is considered that the action TAX
en- by the tax commission will have
the moral effect of securing a full
listment Of all property which here
tofore escaped its share of the cost
of government.
In the 1917 assessment but $2,0oo,-
900 was returned by the taxpayers
Of the state on money and credits,
while in 1918 under the new law more
than a hundred million has been
added to this amount.
Tax Commissioner H. H: Sheele Of
Bismarck is here in connection with
the hearings.

The Hand to- Mouth Habit.
(Torrington NeWsl,

Unless there is an actual famine in the land so severe it is all the people can do to find enough food for square meal, there can be no good reason why the hand-t mouth habit of living should prevail. It is simply absurd that in America the closing down of business for a week should produce d panic, or cause distress in any well regulated family. There ought always to be food enough in the house to tide over at least week. The truth is too many Amer
 jeans, as well as vast number Of alien residents, are far from thrifty. They spend as fast as they earn, much of the money going to amuse- ments. dissipation and articles not essential to comfort or happiness.
 The first pinch of war footing causes alarm, grum mbling and panic. No one wishes to cut down expenses. Saving money for future needs in place of gratifying present wishes Is too often neglected. The result is that a fall of snow, cold wave, tenn porary sickness loss of employment for a few days. produces distress, or a least uncomfortable pinches. This state of affairs is all wrong. Birds, insects and animals teach the lesson of providing for the future. The ant, the bee, the woodpecker, from instinct lay Up food to tide over the time when it cannot be procured. Even squirrel knows enough to provide for winter. If men, like the ground hog, could retire to an underground apart ment for the season of cold weather and remain dormant until spring, they might take no thought of the morrow. Men being supervise over all created things are also super foolish The high wages are now paid and constant call for mon to work. ought to enable every a b1e bodied man and woman to lay up enouch money or food to provide for any ordinary Interruption of business. Too much dissipation and too many "foolish tlrgins,' are the roots of misfortune.

 The war having concluded, many claimants appeared for the hero gift of s10000 offertd by Councilman Seth Barlow to the person performing the most striking act of courage dur ing the conflict.
 Both of my legs were shot away in a trench raid" said one, and yet I did not run"
 My German captors tried to starve me into divulging military in for1nation.' said another but even though they waved pretzels and hagons of beer before my eyes, I said nothing"
 Single handed I captured 10 Ger mans who wanted to surrender so as to obtain a square meal" said 8 third.
 A modest looking young man stepped forward.

The Maple Sugar Season.

Burlington, Vt, Free Press).
 This seems to be a year when prophecy is an exceedingly danger ous pastime. Plenty of frost and adequate snow are usually regarded as favorable for a good maple sugar crop, however, and these conditions seem to be more than usually well fulfilled. If the traditional "Janu. ary thaW" is to remove these essen tias it will have to be quick about it, Tn other words the conditions seem to point to a promising season for onn of the Green Mountain states prod- ucts, immorta11zed in poetry by John Godfrey Sake, the sweet singer of ap earlier Vermont generation. -
 With prices of all sorts of con- densed sweetness at altitudinous heights tlre thrifty maker of Vermont maple does not need to hoard ii. order to realize a handsome pru;t:. Moreover, it comes at time W.. la there is comparatively little revcE. from other sources on the farm, q 1 it is q great thing for tillers of tl9 soil as well as all others to haHa revenue well distributed so that debts shall not accumulate.
 In this connection We are reminded
  bushes" or maple orchards 1~a threatening in some instances not tD tap their maple trees or open tn, ' sugar works the coming spring be- cause of the widespread lack of labor
 We realize that the shortage of fuel will also figure in this connection. With good hardwood selling for from $8 to $12 a cord, according to loca- ton. owners of sugar groves will be sorely tempted not to use fuel for thu production of sugar this year. even if they resist the other temptation to cut down their sugar naples.
 Every man knows his own busi- ness best. It IS to be hoped how ever. that as many sugar makers a.s possible can take advantage of the present situation to contribute their share to tho Iesscned aggregate of the nations sweetness It is not q. good thing to teach the people of the United States to rely upon soma substitute for Vermont maple It may easily become a habit, to the permanent loss of Vermont sugar makers.
 Now that the toothsomeness Of our finest Vermont maple has won for it a rank in the list of confections in- stead of plain sugar 1t will command fully as favorable a price when it is fresh and before it has lost it's flavor as later

To One Who Is Blind.

I said I had forgotten her, That I had put away Our memories of Paradise
 Until the Judgment Day; That never more the laughing earth Should see us hand in hand, That I long since had shut the door Of the old fairyland. Then on a sudden came strange news, Upon the gossip wind My love of those sweet years ago Great God-my love was blind, I said--the ncws must be a lie, Cruel as are the years; They could not be so merciless To such great eyes as hers. 0 little child of long ago,
 God grant the news untrue, Except for one strong selfish thought: That I may come to you. And sit beside you in the dark
 And. as in Paradise, I gave you all my breaking heart, Now bring to you--my eyes.

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
Mooriing

forecastle officer. And like aIl echt from the bridge: let go the DOT. anct,or" Another torrent or chat.t charges overheard. But the ship's way nus been lost. She ia now drirt - ing down with She tide. Slowly thc last anchor is left upstream while the
 first ono is hove in. To speed up, tho engines may be backed Q little, hnt with great care.
 At 45 fathoms there is shackie or Kind of buckle on each chain. In short while both of these shackles are on reck, the port one paying out and the starboard being hove in. I'm mediately all brakes are put on and
 the stoppers dashed. The ship is now
 moored with two anchors about so
 fathoms apart and 45 fathoms of
 chain on each.
 Now if she were let swing with the wind and tide there would be a.
 tangle at once. So "mooring swi- yel'' is put on. The chain down
 stream having no strain on it is un-
 shackled, its end dipped around the
 bow, and hauled aboard. Tn the meantime the swivel has been put on the weather" or riding chain and waits the one coming from the other
 side. When both are attached through the swivel to the riding chain , ii is let run out or veered until the swivel is clear of the hawsepipe. The other chain must then be dipped. around and shackled on.
 It is all just as if q giant stood in i the bow gripinS the two chains in one hand. But we put a swivel in his wrist so that no matter how often or which way the ship swings around i there arc no turns made.
 The main advantage in mooring is , that in a narrow anchorage, such as is usually the case with the Fleet, a vessel wll swing in much smaller space than with q single anchor. Then she has also less chance of fouiing : her anchor with the chain. If a 1 storm arises, unless it is directly 1 across the line of anchors. she is
 more strongly secured than with 8 ] single hook down.

Spain Falls in Lime. (New York Tribune).

Spain has taken in good part our governments recent hint that it ex- poets a certain amount of neighborly accommodation on the part of neu- trals. If the neutral countries of Europe desire to trade with us and to get coal in our harbOrS for their shipping, it is certainly up to them to return our courtesieS and favors We are entitled to ask from them supplies which they have to sell and which we need. and also to ask for assurances that the goods we deliver to them shall not in any way re- lease materials which may find their way into Germany.
 Unlike Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Spain is not in a position to trade with Germany. But she is in a, position to withhold from us ma tcrials which we may want for our forces in France. Here is a chance for reciprocity of a benevolent sort. According to cable dispatches from Madrid. the Spanish premier has just announced the conclusion of an cco- homie agreement with tho United States by which Spain will send into France iron and copper ores, woolcn goods. various food supplies, oil and soap. Tn return the United States will give Spain cotton, petroleum and railroad equipment
 This is an instance in which the problem of commercial relations be- tween a belligerent and a neutral. un- der special war conditions, has been solved promptly and rationally. We have had great difficulty in coming to an agreement With Holland. The Scan7ino viaN countries ar" @'"' "ory 1Oat}l , IT," any agTccr' ith us Whj. cause r"s'@ i..'} '.'+ in Germany. inc our policy is clear. If is to insist upon an equitable eX change of privileges. While the war lasts our intercourse with the neu- tra1s must continue to be affected by our own war necessities. We shall do our best to relieve their wants. But they must give us reasonable Quid pro quo.

Better Export Terminals,
(Iron Age. )

The appeal for increased terminal facilities, which has become almost legendary in it's origin, has been re- VIsed and brought up to date by prominent New York shipper Tn a recent letter to w. G. McAdoo, di- 1ector-general of railroads, he pro- poses a plan which. by virtue of it's tme1iness and application to present conditions is worthy of the utmost consideration at Washington.
 The plan in brief calls for the es- ia hhshment of freight yards on all main lines. not more than one hours freight distance from Atlantic ter minals. Sheds, with railroad track on one side and wagon road on the other, would be built by cantonment
 camp builders. Whenever necessary,
 during labor shortage, soldiers would
 be detailed to load and unload. fol-
 lowing the precedents of foreign
 countries. The two principal uses of
 the yards would be to>reccive all cx-
 port freight, whenever ships would
 not be imm ediately available, and to
 handle whenever necessary, all non
 pershable freight for domestic com
 nercial consumption.
 As has long been realized, termi-
 nal facilities have been inadequate, even in normal times. Their inability to cope with present demands created hy war is reflected by the heavy con- sestiOn all along the Atlantic sea board. which has been steadily work ing it's way back through the West, threatening widespread disorganlza- ton of industry. Notwithstanding more favorable weather conditions, l this freight congestion with present 1 facilities is likely to continue in ] greater or lesser degree, owing to the l rapidly increasing production of 1 munitions and supplies of all descrip- 1 tons. Due chiefly to the financial eX- pcnditure involved in such expansion, 1 the railroads have been able to do little to prepare for the handling of 1 this business. Now. with the govern | rnent in charge. the sorely needed l attention to terminal betterments ! could be made expoditlously, and the 1 cost involved in some such plan as ] that outlined would be tritiinG in comparison with the damage now ] being done to business and military l efficiency.

There were numer- ous other diners in the car and the parents were proud of their child. Not a single thing had happened to mar the serenity of the occasion.
