MORE TAXES-AT FIRST

Being brought face to face with the facts. and the
facts being so unmistakable that they cannot be con-
cealed, spokesman Of the Socialist cabal are now admit
ting that North Dakota's state taxation will be higher
at first, but they couple this admission with the state
ment that when the profits from the state industries which
are to be established begin to roll in taxes will drop again.
According to an estimate to which the Fargo Courier
News devotes several columns Of space, and which Il. says
was prepared by the state tax commission-which in this
case means Commissioner wallace-under the appropria.
lions made and the apportionment provided in the new
tax law, the state tax on any given piece Of farm land
will, under the next levy. be within a fraction Of three
times what it is now. NH
When the farmer pays his taxes on this basis next
spring he will need to keep before his mind the vision
of the big profits which are to come from state utilities
later on. Otherwise he may wonder just where he comes
in on the benefits of the new socialistic system.

WHERE TREASON HEDGES

The man who is brought to book for the making of
seditious statements usually denies that he made use OF
the language attributed to him, or tries to prove that
even if he used the language charged, he did not intend
it in a seditious sense. Doubtless in some cases unwar-
rantcd charges have been made against individuals and
through carelessness or inadvertence worthy citizens have
been made the victims of mistaken interpretation, or, in
rare cases, of petty spite and malice. g..
Let the reader make every possible allowance for
exceptions of this kind. Then let him recall as many as
he can of the utterances which he himself has heard
which were generally criticized as lacking in patriotism.
Then let him place his own estimate on the purpose and
intent of those utterances, disregarding technicalities of
every kind. and giving heed. not alone to the language
used, but to time, place and circumstance.
Is it not true that judged by any such standard as
this host Of the alleged seditious utterances of which
complaint has been made were manifestly intended to
emharrass the government and hamper it in its prosecu-
ton of the war? And is it not true that most of the men
against whom such complaints are made are playing the
part Of towards in seeking to evade responsibility for
these utterances, interpreted as they intended them to be ?
The single exception to this is Eugene ". Debs, who,
when placed on trial said in substance, Eyes. I said it
and I stand by it. 1 despise your government, and would
destroy it if 1 could"
Debs is in the penitentiary where he ought to be.

STATISTICS OF A SlRLOM STEAK

The man who paid 43 cents Tor a pound of sirloin
steak in New York in January, 1919, might have derived
a degree of comfort from knowledge that a man in Prov.
idence' was spending 65 cents for a like portion Of raw
food. But his spirits would have had a sinking relapse
upon his learning that the price of sirloin in Minneapolis
was % cents. The Providence and Minneapolis rates
were at the time under notice the highest and the lowest
respectively. in this country. .
knowledge Of these little disagreements in figures
comes from the report of a cross-the-w whole country
quiz conducted by, the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment Of labor at Washington. The inquiry started
with 32-cent sirloin in San Francisco and finished with
the 57-cent article in Portland, Me. Going south, it found
Chicago was found to be a city Of s7-cent steak. In
st. Louis, Detroit and Cleveland the price was SO cents,
in Pittsburgh As. Philadelphia had marketmen sum
GENTLY awake to collect As cents for the succulent sirloin.
Boston had to pay sc cents. New Haven 81. Not even
senatorial courtesy could save Washington from a 50-cent
extortion, though Baltimore got its steak for A cents.
The compilers of this story in steak statistics have
not paused to reason why. Theirs but to spread the fig
ures. We do not doubt that the meat-venders could fur
nish a summary of the situation eloquent of railway rates
and cold storage, without a word on cold nerve or refer
ence to the fact that New York's Ascent sirloin of 1919
was just like its 25-cent steak Of December, 1913-New
York World. =

AN EXAMPLE OF HIGH FINANCE

The management of the Consumers Stores is giving
the state a somewhat startling illustration of what is often
termed high finance. This concern began with the or
ganization of a corporation with an authorized capital of
$40. 900. OF this amount $1,000 was actually paid in,
and, unless made very recently, no further payments on
the capital stock have been made. The company, there
fore, represents an actual cash investment by the stock
holders Of $1,000.
The management then proceeded to sell to farmers.
not stock in the company, but certificates at 500 each,
these certificates emitting the holder to the privilege of
buying goods from the company stores. The purchaser
of one of these certificates acquired no interest in the
company itself. He could claim no share of the profits
If any were made. He was told that a store would be es-
tablished in his neighborhood, but no time limit was fixed
within which this should be done. The management did
not commit itself to what sort of store would be started
how it should be managed, or what sort of goods should
be carried. The company could take its own time in
starting the store, and it might start a grocery store, or
a hardware store. a drygoods store, or one Of any other
sort. Moreover, the agreement which the farmer signs
authorizes the management to use for educational and
similar purposes, anywhere, at any time. and under any
circumstances, all the receipts from the sale Of certifi-
Gates except 80 per cent of the first $4,000. If $4,000
is collected in one group or community the management
may devote $4,000 to the business of the store-when 1t
is started, and may use the other $21, 600 with which to
send students of Boshevism to Russia if it chooses to
do so.
On the basis Of this understanding>the company has
collected from the farmers of the state sums which are
syariously stated, but on which the lowest figure, given
by an officer of the company, is over a million dollars
Now the company proposes to issue half a million dollars
worth of bonds, these to be secured by the farmers notes
which have been given in exchange for the 500 buyers
certificates.
The situation, then, is that two or three unknown
and irresponsible men have organized a ten thousand
dollar corporation, paid in $1,000, collected over a mil
lion in cash or notes from the farmers of the state, and
now propose to issue half a million dollars in bonds on
the strength Of these notes. for which they have never
rendered a. dollars worth of value to anyone. And yet
there are people who will say that the character of j.
Rufus WallAgford is overdrawn!> ~.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

The clocks of the country have again been advanced

received very little support, the merit of the innovation

The effect Of this new custom, as has often been
pointed out, especially in the: northern latitudes. ia not
to increase the hours of day light during which people
are up and around. but to group more Of these hours at
the latter end Of the day. In this latitude in the mid
summer months we have more day light than we are
able I'd use. The hours of darkness are not sufficient
for the sleep Of the ordinary normal human being and
here, therefore. the chief advantage lies in the finishing
OF the ordinary labors Of the day at an earlier hour 40
that there may be left to the individual a longer period
OF unbroken time which he can devote to such side lines
as may suit his taste.
A very large number of people have devoted a good
deal OF this time to the work of gardening; a work which
is at once healthful and useful, as we'll as being highly
interesting to those who have a taste for it. The farmer
in most cases is not particularly interested in the day
light saving bill because the condition of his occupation
Is such that he must begin and quit work in accordance
with the needs Of the season and the state of the weather
regardless Of the clock. There is just one class OF .peo-
pie to whom the operation Of the daylight saving law
seems to bring something OF a real disadvantaxe. rhi.
class is composed Of those farmers who live nearby large
cities who are in the habit Of marketing their produce
regularly by train. The advancement OF train lime by
an hour makes it necessary for their work to BEGIN an
hour earlier which is sometimes an Inconvenience. No
method has yet been suggested 20 Ear az we have seen,

COURAGE.

You'll hnd It in the lullabies that
patient mothers sing,
It's in the humble cottage where the
shouts Of children ring;
It nils the weary toiler's breast. It
lights the pillow boys eye,
It's like the beauty of the sum-, the
glory Of the sky,
It CLOVIS above the mountain top, It
rides the stormy sea,
It's in the dream Of every mar who
fights for joys to be.
You read it in the faces Of the toilers
homeward bound;
It spurs the sturdy pioneer who
clears a patch OF ground
It stands beside a whirring lathe
and delves within a mine,
It swings the ak in forests wild and
fells the mighty pine;
It's stamped on every mothers face
who brings a babe tt birth;
It is ,the seed of every good which
blossoms on the earth.
It's not alone in facing death, when
that grim duty asks,
It's facing life from day to day with
all its dreary tasks;
It's keeping faith with those you
love, it's standing firm and true
ana bearing ali LASS pAlIeCneSS lot
those who trust in you;
It's clinging to your glorious dreams
when doubts and, griefs assail,
It's trying for a splendid goal and
smiling though you fail.
The soldier shares it with his king,
the toiler with his chief;
The self-same courage all must own
who feel the touch Of grief.
Rich towards shall be towards still
despite their sums of gold,
For courage is the gift Of God and
can't be bought and sold.
And all who tread the path of life
and scorn to stoop to sin
Have earned the glory Of the great
for courage makes them kin.

Mayoralty Campaign .
In Chicago Will
End This Evening

Chicago. March s1.-one Of this
most spectacular mayoralty cam
paigns in Chicago's political history
will come to a close tonight. Because
of the somewhat tangled situation,
political observers and party leaders
were hazarding on guesses as to the
probable outcome of tofnorrow's e1ec-
ton.
Mayor William Hale Thompson.
Republican, and Robert NJ. 'Sweitzer,
Democrat, who opposed each other
by a plurality Of 5000. have been
fighting the battle YER again.
This year, however, the campaign
has been made even more interesting
by the entrance of Maclay Hoyne,
Democratic states attorney, as al in
dependent candidate by petition.
The situation is further complicated
by John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation Of Labor, who is
entered as the candidate Of the re-
Gently organized Chicago labor party.
The other candidates r John m.
Collins. socialist. and Adolph s. Carm,
socialist labor.
With a total registration OF nearly
795,977 men and women 1t is certain
that the vote will be the largest ever
cast at a mayoralty election.
For several weeks the 'loop" has
been-a bedlam Of political noise. Ev-
cry vote-getting device known to
modern political campaigns has been
used. The candidates have held daily
meeting at noon in downtown thea
ters. ana meetings. at industrial plants
during the morning n afternoon.
AT nlsht scores OF meetings nave been
neid IN all parts OF the city. A str1k-
ing feature has been the large num-
}tner OF women present at these meet
1nes.
Virtually every inch Of billboard
space has been plastered with pic
lures and pledges of candidates. The
postoffice has handled nearly 4,00O,-
600 pieces of campaign literature.
Party lines have been largely ig-
nored in the round up of voters. Ma
tional issues, the war, local issues and
even the religious questions have been
injected into the Campaign.
Chicago for the jfrst time in its
history will vote on the licuor oues-
ton because of a belated decision Of
the state supreme court. The court
ordered that the question. "Shall the
city become A%nti-saloon territory"
be printed on the ballot. The "drvs,
decided not to contest tha o,,estion
but the "wets" have made a vigorous
fight in the hone Of rolling IN a big
majority. The "wets" slogan is: Let
