most ssferestins feature OF this bill Is
that. in the event Of crop failure the
state shall refrain from collecting in
terest due. On an average. II Is SAID
North Dakota has about three poor
crop years In every five.
Another large bond issue Is aimed to
provide cheap fuel for the\ farmers
thru the state-owned and operated
igite mines The state-owned bank
called to finance so many state-owned
projects. viii handle the state school
fund and the alo.0oo,O0o rural credit
fund. act as d, pository for all state
utilities, the state building and loan
association, and all pubic funds OF
the state, counties and cities, and from
all sources already sl3S.0oo,oo0 is in
sight.
A new tax code is in prospect. speci-
flying the taxation OF different classes
OF property. All land, railroad proper
~, public utilities, business blocks
and bank STOCKS, win be taxed at 100
per cent, town residences and mer-
chandise stocks at 80 per cent, but the
farm machinery and farm improve
ments Of members Of the nonpartisan
league will De free from taxation.
But to cap the climax the liberty OF
the press is to be interfered with The
state OF North Dakota is going into the
newspaper business on large scale.
A bill has been passed creating public
revenue for ! noupartisan league news
paper in each OF the nifty coun-
ties. The measure provides that there
shall be one official paper in each
county which shall print all court and
public notices, state reports, and other
items that ara specified. No other
paper in North Dakota can obtain this
class Of printing. 1t has been admit
ted by league members that to each Of
these league papers a revenue of $4,000
annually will be derived. The hope OF
the league members is that at least
zoo small weakly papers in the state
will have to go oft OF business because
of the inequality. and thus the opposi-
ton to the league will, in large
measure, be silenced.
The session of the legislature has
been a wande-ful one Tor the league.
but What the future has in store is an
other question. The only hope eN-
pressed by opponents of the league is
that the socialistic program made into
law viii increase taxes SO materially
that the sentiment will react against
the league. In other words the oppo-
nents TO the league believe that the
league itself Will kill the goose that
lays the golden egg.

HOW THEY DO II IN NORTH DAKOTA,

Iowa men who have Investments in
North Dakota doubtless will be inter-
ested in new laws that Will now govern
that state following the enactment of
a sociaistic program by nonpart!san
league legislature, backed by a nom
partisan league governor. To the
Iowan who has investments in the state
the the north the first question ne will
ask is Where do the taxes endg'
With state taxes high everywhere
income taxes added and the higher
cost Of living 10 De contended with for
some time to come, it IS natural that
the North Dakota property owner
would do some wondering. The nom
partisan league lad a two-thirds ma
Jority in each branch Of the legislature
and the league controlled governor has
approved all the bills.
Like the secret meetings Of the boil
shevi6i in Europe in fomenting revolu-
tons, the secret caucus Of the North
Dakota Legislature determined the ac-
ton Of the majority on pending bills
before the vote was called. Each night
at o'clock during the legislative ses-
sion senators and representatives ap-
peared in caucus, admitted only by
pass. and IN these caucuses the bills
were discussed and the action was de-
termined upon. No legislative COM
mittee was permitted to report any
bill until the caucus had acted upon il,
and no bill could De referred to the
caucus until the league steering COM
m!ttee had assented 10 the program.
Since the two-thirds majority was in
pledged TO vote as the caucus willed,
the session Of the North Dakota leg
islature virtually was held behind
closed doors, and the action of passage
N the senate and house was merely
formal.
A glance at some OF the most I'M
portant features of the nonpartisan
| league program commands interest. A
bill creating a state wned mill, ele-
vator. warehouse, and market system
| was enacted. This gives the state the
| right to engage in the manufacturing
! and marketing of farm products. and
may establish a warehouse, packing
| plant, elevator, and flour milling sys-
tenn under the name Of the North Da-
kota mill and Elevator Association.
| The bill provides that the state may,
with the great milling organizations
| Of the country. To provide for this in
| dustry a 5000, 900 bond issue will be
created, with the state owned bank of
North Dakota ready to finance the
scheme as soon as the bond issue has
been exhausted.
Another piece OF legislation is a
atate-owned home building association
thru which any person may secure 3
$4,000 farm OF 5000 home by small
payment down, the remainder to bs
amortized by monthly payments ovel
a period OF twenty-five years. Fo,
this another $4,000 900 bond issue WI

s. Through the efforts Of the Mid,
City Citizens Association, Postmaster
Chance has estabIshed classified
LostaI station at the Berberich Shoe
Store. 1116-22 Seventh street north
west. ''.- '...r =
There has long been need of q
postoffice in this section, as hereto
fore there has been none north OF
that located at the Patent ohice. .. -
When the Committee of the Mid
City Citizens Association, headed by
it's president, A. ]. Driscoll, convinced
Postmaster Chance, OF the necessity
of q postoffice in this section, the
difficulty arose in the matter, OF q Sc
lection of q location. A committee
representing the association and ac-
companying Postmaster Chance on a
tour through this part Of the city fin-
ally agreed on the vicinity of the
Berberich Shoe Store. Berberich's
volunteered to devote whatever, space
would be requisite in the front OF
their store for the establishment OF
this office. : 1t Is a voluntary contri-
button made in the interests of the
Mtd-City Citizens Association. and
cost the Post Office Department a
nominal sum OF s1.0o a year.
The new postoffice Is ready for
business, although at present, II has
but temporary counters. Permanent
fixtures have been ordered, and will
pc installed as soon as completed.
The station is to be known as the
Seventh Street Station, and is COM
pletely equipped for the transaction
Of money order, registry and parcel
post business, and the sale Of War
aaVfngs Stamps. 1t Is presided over
by two charming young ladies', who
give every evidence OF being capable
post mistresses. Letter carriers are
notifying residences and business
establishments within a radius OF
fifteen blocks of the new station. In
accordance with the following letter
or postmaster Chance to Mr.. Drisccfi:
January 8. 1919.
II am transmitting herewith several
copies OF a notice with reference TO
the establishment of a classified DOS
tai station at 111S Seventh street
northwest This station is located in
BeroerIch's store. and Is along the
line n conference which your COM
mittee had with me a few days ago.
l trust that this will provide the nee
essary postal facilities to the mer-
chants and residents in the vicinity.
A copy OF this notice will be delivered
on the 9Th instant to all people living
