Minnesota TAX
UP 1872 PERCENT
Sister State, Having no Indus.
trial Program, Shows Big In
crease in Taxation Rate. -

The Federated Press, newcomer
in the game of gathering and dis
tributing news, and particularly that
news which is either suppressed or
''played down" by the older agencies,
gives this dispatch to its customers:
The tax levied for the industrial
program Of the Nonpartisan league is
only about As cents quarter section.
or per cent of the total tax, accord.
ing to official statistics. Far from in
creasing the tax burden Of the farmer.
these figures show expenses have &C.
tually been kept down, especially dur
ing the high-cost years of the war.
On the other hand, one part alone
Of this program-state hail insurance,
which was in force last year-has
saved the farmers who took advan--
tage of it not only more than their
increase in state taxes but more than
the increase in all taxes levied.
State levies in North Dakota for the
last five years have been as follows:
1919. 81 ,655, 234.OO
1916. .................... 1,417,98
l9l7.... 1867, 612.O0
1910. 1,6SS,355.O0
l9l9. 3,676,O39,OO
The year 1919, which shows a gross
increase of $l,9S7.6S4, or 117.7 per
cent, includes now item of $761, 1913
for the liberal soldiers bonus.
Deducting this items leaves an in
crease of $1,225,Sl1. or y per cent,
OF this amount little more than
S2OO.Ooo is Il new item for the state
industries. The big increases have
been made for state educational work
and other state Institutions. The in
crease for this kind of work is about
$500 600.
Minnesota. on the other hand, with
no industrial program and no farmer
government, is raising $l4,176,4S5 for
1919. as opposed to S6.1O7 ,OO6 for 1918.
an increase of $S.O69,479, or 1872 per
cent.

whether to support Representative
'Baer's $3.50 bonus as part compen-
sation' or to ask modified form;
take up the problem of handling the

elimination of red tape in compensa-

immediate relief for those that have
been waiting for over year without
any aid.
"A local meeting has been request
ed to be called at Archer because most
of the present members in Sheridan
county are located at Archer and
Outlook, and the roads are too bad to
travel very far. AS many as possible,
both soldiers and civilians, should at
tend and those that can not come
should send in their names for MEM
bership for either the civilian auxili-
airy or the regular organization. The
membership dues has been placed at
$l.0O. A delegate, or more will be
sent to Minneapolis, and those in
harmony are sincerely requested to
send in what they feel they can con-
tribute toward sending a delegate to
the National convention. Such con-
tribution should be sent to VIM Moe,

important move. There is no doubt
but what the Veterans will endorse

GRINDE SENTENCED

requested Il settlement and asked that
Through Attorney Vollum, acting as
attorney for Grinde, it was agreed
to obtain the services of Cashier VIM
Erickson, of Riba Bank, to re-check
the books. Mr.. Erickson has spent
most of his spare time this winter
checking these books carefully, and
at the time of the trial had sufficiently
checked these books to refute the
charges of Grinde that post office
money had been used in the business
operation of the store. Mr. Erickson
was subpoenaed by the government as
witness. Mr.. Erickson could furth-
et show that over 5000 were juggled
on the store accounts. The first
checking was done under the atten-
ton of Attorney Paul of Redstone,
and he was likewise called as Il wit
ness, besides VIM, Nels and Pcder
Moe.
While Grinde was being kept in the
county Jail the federal government
took him from the state and ar
raigned him for trial ut Great Falls
under his indictment for embe2Zlc-
ment of post office funds.
The case was tried under Federal
Judge, George NJ. BourGuin. The
jury was selected Friday afternoon,
the 18th, and the evidence against
(irinde submitted by the government;
the government reStd it's case and
Court adjourned till Saturday morn
ing. On Saturday morning, Grindc
had changed his plea from mot Gull
ty' to Guilty."
Judge Boulquin questioned deeply
into the affairs of the defendant,
questioning Grinde himself, and
weighed carefully the circumstances
before pronouncing sentence, corclud-
ing he said, '"The contemplate part
OF the matter is that you were placed
in a position Of trust. The punish
ment the government puts upon you
IS done so in the hopes that it makes
u better man of YOU, and not only
that, but that it will serve in the ca
pacity OF dcterring other from COM
uniting Otfenses. In fairness to JUS
tice and in view of the fact that YOU
continued the embellishments of these
funds over so long u period. when if
you had had any honest convictions in
the matter this continuance would
not have occurred, especially when
you knew you would not be able to
replace the funds, the court will pro-
nounce a sentence Of twelve months
and one day imprisonment in the fed
eral prison ut Lcavenwo1th, ut hard
labor"
Hardly had the last words fallen
from the lips Of the Court. when the
wife OF the defendant, who was pres
ent IN the court room. became hys-
terical and was led from the room nv
the u. S. marshals and her husband.

Dolin VS.. Sheridan
County Case Tried

+ The case of Joseph Dolin
against Sheridan County was
tried last Monday before Judge
Conner. Attorney Ellery appear
ing for Mr.. Dolin and County
Attorney Cudhie appearing for
Sheridan County.
This is a suit brought by Mr..
Dolin to collect money for print
ing furnished Sheridan county
between January LIST, 1919 and
April 1919, which claim was in
the sum of over $4,000 and was
cut by County Auditor O'Grady
to 1899 and a few cents.
The case occupied the atten-
ton of the court all day Mon
day and it appears from the rul-
ing of the court that MI. Dolin
may get enough more than the
Auditor allowed him to pay his
attorney for bringing the suit.

Immigran $ From
 Europe Flooding
 South America

Buenos Aires, Feb. 3. Every steamer arriving here from Latin ports of Europe and from Holland is loaded with immigrants coming here to settle. Most of those on the Dutch ships are Germans. They are attracted by the fact that Argentina Is prosperous, unscathed by war and belief that it gives promise to rapid development
 A great increase in the foreign population of the Argentine is ex- pected owing to this immigration. Al ready nearly one-half of the popula- ton of Buenos Aires is foreign-born and a majority of these haves failed to become citizens, although Only two years residence Is required Many tina and are large property owners.
 The influx of new immigrants has prompted a proposal by Dr. Juan Carlos Garay, professor of Law in the University of Buenos Aires, to pro- pose enactment of a law making naturalization obligatory without re- nunciation of citizenship in the cour- try of birth. Professor Garay hopes in that way to solve the problem presented by failure of so many for eign-born persons to become citizens tics Of the country. He admits that this is a revolutionary doctrine but contends that for Argentina it's ad- vantages would outweigh the disad- vantages.

HIGH PRICE OF OIL CAUSE OF
 ANOTHER RUSH

Pittsburgh, Feb. 3.-The advance in the price of Pennsylvania crude oil to $5 a. barrel will result in the widest search for petroleum this sec ton has known since the early days of the "oil excitement according to authorities in the industry here.
 Already it has started, and leases are being taken on territory which was drilled over more than half a century ago and then abandoned for more productive fields. Drilling has been commenced in some of these leases, and results have been so good as to encourage others. One field in Allegheny county, abandoned in the early seventies because the one well drilled proved to be Hduster," has produced a number of wells the past few months.
 "The greater part of this develop ment will be in Western Pennsyl- vania and West Virginia" explained the head Of a large corporation which has been developing oil territory for many years. When oil was only a dollar a, barrel one had to bring in a good well before he had a paying proposition. Now with oil at $5 8 barrel it pays to drill g. lot of wells, even though they only produce a bar rel or two a day. We reduce ex- penses by connecting these small wells to one power plant. and pump ing them very thoroughly. While the initial cort of drilling is high, about three times as much as in the old days, economies of operation and the princely price of crude, make hunt ing for the Pennsylvania grade a pretty profitable investment..'
 TTn nin cd {N work are usually old time organiza- tions which have not stock for sale and which cover thoroughly with leases all the territory in the i'm mediate neighboxho of their op- tio7a

LIKE ELECTRIC
 BUTTON ON TOES Tells why g. corn is so pain ful and says cutting
 makes them grow.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone, This will cost very little but is suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet A few drops applied directly upon a ten der, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all. without pain This drug is harmless and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin.-Ady.
