SPRAY USED NOW WILL
HELP SAVE APPLES

The coddling- moth which produces
the worm found in apples in the fall
and winter will be destroyed if the
farmer will spray the orchard imme-
diately before the second brood of
the moth is formed. The College of
Agriculture recommends this spray
made Of l IL pounds of powdered
arsenate of lead to fifty gallons OF
either bordeaux mixture or lime sui
phur solution. Bordeaux is prefer
able and the spray should not be
neglected if the apples are to be
free from worms in the winter.

FREIGHT RATES
AND PASSENGER
RATES TO DROP?

A drop of IA Id percent in freight
rates and one-!1alf cent per mile IN the
passenger fares is expected IN North
DAKOTA when the railways are return
Cd to their owners March I. The rail
way commission today announced that
no definite consideration had been Civ
en- this matter, but that it was the gen
eral understanding that pre-war intra-
state rates would be restored with the
return Of railroads to private hands.
Freight rates in North Dakota were:
first boosted fifteen percent and later
al additional 25 percent, making about
44.25 percent increase in all. Passen-
gev fares were increased from 2 IL
cents per mile to three. The federal
railways administration entirely ig
more state laws and the jurisdiction Of
the North Dakota railway commission
in making these advances, and altho

General William LANCER, won victory

various ether parts OF the county and
in few days the county organlza-
ton will be completed and each unit
will then elect delegates to go to
Grand Forks TO vote for such candl-
dates as they feel like endorsing. The
movement is growing rapidly and be-

organization that has for it's aim a

ORGANIZED HERE

A representative gathering OF those
opposed to the present regime IN state

for the purpose of organizing an l. vi
\. unit for the purpose of identifying
themselves with some organization
that would combat socialism in this
state. The meeting was called to ord
er bv Andrew Bonhus and Frank
Heimcs was elected chairman OF the
meeting. who stated in i few words
tne object of the meeting. Prof. Geo.
Hanna, superintendent OF the city
schools was called upon for some re-
marks. He stated that it had been
very long time since he had attended
a political meeting because he thought
educators should remain non-partlsan
il politics and give their attention
more to building up the educational
system and institutions of the state
rather than dip into politics, but he
thought with the prevailing condl-
tions now existing and that the party
in power was converting the school
system of the state into political
machine, it was time to get busy and
do something to try and put stop to
this machine control of the state
schools. He gave very comprehen-
sive review Of school legislation in the
wears past and thought the schools
should be put absolutely upon non
political basis. He did not like the
idea of the state printing any particu-
la. set of school books for the schools
Of the state and he was emphatic IN
his denunciation of the unionizing of

Hanna gave a mighty good talk. Then
Col, Frank White was called upon tor
some remarks and he gave concrete
example of what investors outside OF
the state were doing in regard to IN

commission, being authority for this
statement. There is some doubt in
Mr.. Mills mind, however, as to the
ability of the state commission to
make good on this proposition.
"It is doubtful if the statutary fare
can be enforced under existing condi-
tion,' says Mr.. Mills. "Mach may de-
pend upon railway legislation which
congress is expected to pass before
the railroads will revert to private
ownership. 1t might have been wise

CAMPAIGN NOTES

The Midwinter Revival campaign
was opened at the Salvation Army
last Sunday night. A good attend
ance was present interested in what
was said and done. And a real old
time revival spirit was present dur
in- the evening. Captain ]. T. Mas
seth spoke on the subject: "In the
Beginning God" He showed that God
was the beginning of all things. God
is the beginning Of life. A school in
spector was instructing class of
boys. And he told the teacher to ask
them few questions in natural sci
cnce. And the teacher choose the SUBJ
jcct Chickens. She asked the class
when do the chickens get out Of the
eggs. One little fellow got up and an
swered promptly. Yes, that is of
course wonderful. But there is some
thing more wonderful than that. 1t
was a silence. Then little Johnny

in.

egg. And the egg was not before the
first hen like many would have it. If
some of these philosophers, yes fool
osopilers I call them, would study their
bibles they would know more about
science and God God must be first.

TO know that we have let down the
standard of Jesus Christ in most of
our churches. Some are only social
clubs instead of a soul saving insti-
tuition. Get back where you lost your
inst love, get back to God. The fam
lily affairs have tumbled down too busy
to pray like we used to when we were
not quite as prosperous as we are to-
day. We have forgotten God. Let
Us get look at Calvary again, see
Christ dying for our sins.

MR.. WALLACE
GETS CORRECTION
Mr.. P. R. Trubshaw,
Valley City, North Dakota.


Dear Mr. Trubshaw:-I noticed. an
editorial in your paper of recent date
in which you criticised me for stating
at the governors luncheon that the
tax burden in North Dakota was not
any greater than that in some other
states. The basis of your criticism
was that / made a speech last spring
in Valley City in which l told the
farmers that their taxes were going
to be very high.
I do not remember of every having
made public address in Valley City.
l am sure that did not make one last
spring.
AS matter of fact, upon careful
examination of the tax burden Of other
states, l find that the increase in
North Dakota state taxes is not as
great as some other states. The total
increase in North Dakota in 1919 over
1918 amounts to 117.72 per cent. In
the state of Minnesota, the increase
was 1873 per cent; and in the state OF
Wisconsin the increase was 124 per
cent.
Minnesota and Wisconsin receive
practically all of the taxes from pub
lie corporations, such as railroads
telegraph, telephone, express COM
panies, etc. These states do not ap.
portion back any values to the coun-
ties to be used as tax base on this
class of property. In North Dakota
the state received less than 10 per cent
of the total taxes collected from such
companies. If North Dakota had the
same system that Minnesota and Wis
consin have, there would be no occas'
ion for any state levy of any sort. lr
fact, for 1919 the taxes from this
source would exceed the needs of the
state by almost a million dollars.
Would you please publish this letter
and set me right before your readers
Yours truly,
GEO. Z. WALLACE,
State Tax Commissioner
