Scabbies among cattle is quite
prevalent in Corson and Dewey

to Oscar Hermstad, county agent
tor the southern half of Corson and
Dewey counties, who was at Fort

$500 head of cattle have been
quarantined aside from some of the

sistant, and aside from business
here their trip was taken to select
and purchase a site for erecting a

OF such tanks will also be used in
Dewey county.
The scabbies, some time errone.
ously called the Texas itch, is be.
lieved to have been brought into

from Kansas and the south and a
strenuous effort will be made to
eradicate it from the infected sec.
tion.

members, only three are appointed

(40 per cent Of the membership
are elective officials.
There is mo reason why the
penitentiary should not be admin
istered by the board Of education.
Our penal institutions should come
in line with the trend Of the times
in other states, and become educa-
tional institutions, as they should
be. We ought to get awsy from
the hard hearted feeling with which
we have been treating the intimates
Of our penitentiaries. Educators
on a board which have control Of
the prison, for instance, will give
more humane treatment to the
prisoners and perhaps make them
better men,.
Attached for Practical Purpose
THE strongest feature of the bill
is that the business Of education is
under one board, and the business
Of education includes training men
who have gone wrong.
The criticism of our present
system is that it is so complicated
that often it does not serve the peo.
pie. Numerous boards, conflicting
in authority. and scraping against
each other for the appropriations,
cannot serve the people as well as a
board with control unified. There
is no sinister motive behind this
bill, | am sure. Some people have
ATTEMPTED to say this but they have
done SO for political purposes.
The success Of this new board Of
control for North, Dakota will de-
pend, as in the other states, upon
efficiency. And with two Of the
members elected By the people, and
With every one working for its ef-
6ciency, there can be no doubt
about its atccesa.
This bill deserves the support
(ofevers man who has at heart the
best interests Of the schools, and
the students who attend the schools.

KOslTZKY. HALL At SHIELDS LAST NIGHT

Shields, N. D., May 29.-(By
Pioneer Staff Correspondent. y
State Auditor Kositzky and secre-
tary Of State Hall delivered address
es here last evening in the interests
of the I. V. A. campaign against
the peoples laws, and after being
widely advertised in streaming head.
lines in the local paper and other.
wise, they drew a crowd Of about
65 people. men, women and chill
dren.
Auditor Kositzky was twice forc-
ed to admit that he was lying be.
fore he had spoken twenty minutes.
Both times the admission was fore
ed from the auditor by Judge A..
McG. Beede Of Sioux county, and
both times the auditor brought the
Judge to his feet In defense Of the
truth BY personal reference to the
judge. The tirst time was when
Kositzky asserted that Judge Beede
had used Kositzky's name in a pub
lic address. The Judge denied this
and said: Mr. Kosit Nv, y, II I never ! ,sr
used your name from platform in
my life, and so help me God, 1nev..
er will. Most of the crowd knew
Dir. Beede and knew that he speaks
Of more important subjects when he
speaks from q public platform.
Koaitzky admitted he had no toun.
dation for the assertion and public.
ly apolosised to DR.. Beede, admit.
ting he had lied, much to the mer.
riment Of the audience.
Again, in telling ofthe new print.

pie Of each county will vote for the

the farmers papers of the state lied
when they. told that the people
themselves would vote for their own
official newspaper in each county
under the new laws. He said he
wanted to prove il by Offering to
read certain bill passed by the
last legislature, but when pinned
down by Dr.. Beede and others in
the audience who wanted the truth
without quibbling, he finally ad.
mitted that the people would vote
for their official newspapers at the
first general election and every two
years thereafter.
This sort of tactics was used
throughout the entire speeches of
both Kositzky and Hall, which are
On a par with Halls recent ATTEMPT
as secretary Of state to so confuse
the wording ofthe ballots on the re.
ferendum election as to make it i'm.
possible for a voter to know as to
whether he would be approving or

tary Hall showed his present atti.

with some warmth to DR. Beede and
others that if there is any mean

Judging from the lack Of hearty
applause dnring the talks and re.

LANCER Fiddles in
Railroad Tax Case
Trsa'ury Official Deplores Act. Which
Tie Up Cash Due State. Show.
Finance in Good Shape

Attorney General LANCER has
hddled in the courts for nearly two
years in the railroad tax case."
says A. l.. Young, assistant state
treasurer.
when he gets ready to bring
this case to a finish, the state
treasury will get the thousands of
dollars railroad tax money it should
have got a long time ago, and
Auditor Kositzky. will be deprived
Of his calamity argument"
Mr.. Young scoffed at the "calam.
'ity howl" Of Auditor Koaitzky. =.
Finance Never Better
The state finances never were any
better in the history of the state"
he declared fatty.
Mr.. LANCER fiddled, and Mr..
Kositzky laid down on his tax col.
lections from the counties. Ia it
any wonder that the general fund
at one time had only $1,000 on
deposit?" Mr.. Young demanded.
"Mr. Kositzky, however, didn't
take the trouble to explain at the
same time the state had $500, ,OCO
in other funds. As soon as their
fiddling and delays were made
known, the collections were made.
Today we have more than $500, 600
in the general fund"
Only Slight Tax Raise
Mr.. Kositzky tells the farmers
their taxes will be increased three
times. OF course there will be a
slight increase, but very slight, in
the statataxes alone, and even il
there were a t4,ree-fold increase in
state taxes, the entire amount of
taxes would be only slightly in
creased"
For instance, if a farmer paid
$1,000 total taxes last year, and
his taxes were increased thrce-fold
this year, lie wouldn't pay 800.
The states share of the $50 would
be about $3.50. If. the state tax
were increased three times, its share
this year would be 1880, and il
counties and townships and schools
have the same levies this year, the
farmer who paid $50. last year
would not pay more than $3.50
total tax this year, even If Kositz-
ky's charge were true that state
taxes would be three times increas-
ed.
! Mr.. Young said everywhere about
the state he had visited the farmers

gram.

laws before. and they want them

The Innate Instinct.

To the Editor of The Star:
was much amused in reading An
Autoist S Advice" in The Star of Feb
ruary 20, in which all blame for ac-
cidents between pedestrians and auto
mobiles is placed on the ''jay walker"
walk past Thomas Circle twice
day, and it has been mystery to me
why auto drivers persistently drive
in front of the pedestrian when there
ia more space at his back. and he is
widening the space with every step
he takes, but. nine out Of ten drivers
will take a chance on an eight or ten
foot space when there is forty feet or
more behind the pedestrian. The only
way can account for this is the in
nate-peace9k-instin of man to show
of. for il cannot be accounted for
through reason.
Jay walkers" take it for granted
that the driver of AN automobile has
as much logic as themselves, and a
wide space is preferable to narrow
one to drive an automobile, but the
..jay walker is wrong here, and no
doubt when he gets to driving car
will develop that same innate-pea-
cock instinct to pass in front and
never at the rear of pedestrian. and
then he Will no longer be Jay
walker" N. c. JENNINGS.

soul was sad, my head was sore,

four long years of stress and
strife I've seen the prices rise /;
the cost of things has spoiled my
life, and kept me heaving sighs,
No matter what / wished to
buy, a penknife or a pup, l al
ways heard the merchant cry,
"The prices have gone up" So
j was full of unshed tears, and I
was grim and cross; l wore
crepe tasse1s on my ears, / felt
total loss. / bought my arti-
choke and cried, "How much are
yonder eggs?" A lot of hen fruit
I'd deserted, displayed in crates
and kegs. The grocer glanced
around my way. and seemed to
wear a frown, and then me
thought l heard him say, "The
price of eggs is down" l said,
"My ears are on the blink, or
else | am insane; I'll have to see
the doc, | tlink-just make that
spiel again!" The grocer looked
with dreamy eyes upon the
drowsy town, and said, between
a brace of sighs, "The price of
eggs is down" Oh, yes, I'm

broken head, and this big bruise
upon my brow, when | fell over
