TAXPAYERS BEWARE.

The proposed legislation which is being promulgated at Bis
marck during this session of the legislature, if carried through, is
going to be the ruination of our state, and practically means that
property will be confscated. Just think Of it! Bonding our state
for $%2O,O0O,000, and hereby contracting an interest debt each year
Of about 100000, besides all the other taxes we will have to pay
to keep up and maintain our state government, and also a sink
ing fund to pay off these bonds in twenty or thirty years.
1t is predicted that the taxes on a quarter section of Ramsey
county Land under the Socialist program will be over $500 per year
and it may reach much more. It means not only the business
man but the farmer will be taxed 50 heavily that he will be unable
' tdeaay be e. eo a4asc d.; This seems to be j1ft what the Socialist
Socialism S1ad nn,1 and l Put the property Of all into the hands of all.
The people who have been the pioneers in building up the state,
and who have acquired a farm or other property are fearful Of the
results If this program is put into law, and therefore they have de-
cided to enter a protest, and if possible refer the program to the
people OF the state, and accordingly there will be a mass meeting
held in every county in the state, on February 18th for the pur-
pose OF taking some action to head off the using of our school
funds to build up Socialism in our state, and the burdening of the
people by an unjust taxation. And to that end there will be a
mass meeting held in the court house in the City of Devils Lake on
MONDAY, ~EBRUA II, At $500 P. M.
for the purpose Of discussing this matter and taking such action as
is deemed advisable.
This meeting is open to every citizen of the County, and no
matter to- what faction you have belonged, if you are interested in
seeing thAt our taxes are kept within reasonable bounds, you are
urged to be at this meeting.
This is}of vital importance to every taxpayer in the county, no
matter whether you taxes are large Or small, and you should at
tend this meeting and express your views on the subject and help
head off this wildcat taxation propaganda.

door Of his political dopicile, andsthey re Becoming more distinct,
as they are traversed bypersons who see ia him an ideal candidate
for the Republican presidential nomination.
One of the latest trails leads from North pakota.t o the Illinois
executives office. It was blazed'by = county sheriff, who turned
up in Springfield with faulty requisition papers. He insisted upon
a conference with Governor Lowden, who received him with ac-
customed cordialty and in his usual genial way advised the puz-
lied official how to correct the errors in his papers so that they
could be recognized by the state of Illinois.
Instead of being compelled to go back to his native state for new
papers, the sheriff was enabled to revise his legal documents, maxi
barrassment. Maturity, he appreciated the democratic courtesies
which were so freely extended to him.
THAT'S the commonest governor I ever met" was the sherifs
delighted comment. II wish L could go back home and vote for
him for anything: He ought to be nominated for president.
1t was only an incidental bit of routine in the days work Of the
executive office. bt it marks the character of the man who pre-

Whether it is the farmer, the merchant, the professional man,
the working man, the capitalist, or the humblest Individual, all get
substantially similar impressions Of this great Illinois leader. All
alike appreciate his very evident capacity and availability for the
