One would have thought that the
league leaders would have llesitated
before putting additional tax burdens
on the people of the state. In 1917,
when the league had controlled the
house, but not the senate. the appro-
priation for state purposes amounted
to about S4225.0OO; this was too much
said the league leaders and in the fol-
lowing campaign t.ley promised small
er taxes. In 1915, when the league
had control of both houses as well as
of the governor, the appropriations for
state purposes reached Il staggering
total of over S13,OO0,00O. And it is
still going higher.

Government Survey Predicts Future
Supply to Come From South.
Observation-Disclosures promises to
become the oil reservoir Of the west
ern hemisphere, the department of
commerce declares in a review of the
petroleum industry in the southern
republic. With increased consump-
ton in the United States likely to ex-
haust producing fields in this country
within 20 or 25 years, Mexico, the
statement said, "offers the most en-
couragement to the American oil in
dustry, both for present production
and geographical situation"
Exhaustion Of 40 per cent Of the
producing fields of the United States,
the departments review stated, has
caused Mexico to take second place in
oil production, although only about
IL per cent Of the potential capacity
of Mexican wells is being actually pro-
duced.
Oil exports from Mexico during the
first six months Of 1920 totaled co.
100000 barrels, an increase of u per
cent over the previous year. At this
rate total exports for the year are ex-
pected, according to the department,
to reach 1876, 100000 barrels.

Milan.-Immediate convocation of

of passing laws under which workmen
may take over management Of Indus
trial plants has been demanded by the
confederation of labor in session here.
Resolutions favoring a compromise
of the situation resulting from occupa-
ton Of plants by workmen throughout
Italy we're adopted at a stormy ses-
sion of the confederation, which de-
manded that the Socialist party assume
control of the situation, which, they
claimed, had taken a purely political
aspect. When the Socialist Democrats
were rejected, an additional resolution
was passed by the confederation which
asked the president of the chamber of
deputies and Premier Giolitti to call
parliament into session.
1--WE demand" this resolution read,
Immediate convocation of the cham
Der of deputies in order that the sltua-
ton may be examined and laws pro-
posed which will bring about radical
legislative measures, which, through
requisition Of industrial plants and
participation in their management by
workmen, will prepare the way for
direct control of workers in the inter-
ests of COLLECTIVELY"

TAXES ARE STILL GOING UP
No Saving in Cost Of State Govern.
ment, Says Former Commissioner.

+. E. Packard, assistant attorney
general and former president Of the
North Dakota tax commission, takes
issue with Tax Commissioner Wallace
in a statement issued recently. Mr..
Packard says:
ut will be recalled that George T..
Wallace, state tax commissioner, made
a statement some weeks since, which
vas blaZOned abroad by all the Town
ley newspapers, to the effect that the
tax levy for state purposes for the
current year would not exceed sever
tenths of one mill. This statement, Of
course, was tortured by the Townley
press into u contention that there had
been u great saving in the cost Of
state government by the Nonpartisan
league administration.
Il wish at this time to challenge
statement, and the conclusion arrived
ut by the Townley papers.
"In the first place, the levy for the
general fund will be in excess Of one
mill; it will have to he from IL to
Is mills if existing deficits are to be
taken care of. Practically every state
institution and. practically every de-
partment of the state government has
a more or less healthy deficit, which
it will take hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars to wipe out. In addition to
this, there will have to be levies for
interest and sinking funds, and the
soldiers bonus levy. One cannot con-
ceive Of Al adequate levy of less than
two mills; the reconstructed levy last
year was 24.125 mills.
"In any discussion as to a reduced
cost of state government one must
take into consideration the new
sources Of revenue. Roughly, these
are for the current year $4,000 in
come from the income tax; S12A,OOO
from the stock and bond tax; $416,O 600
from the oil sales tax, making q grand
total of $1,O46,0OO which has been
poured into the general fund from en-
tirely new sources.
prior to last year property was as
sessed upon Il Is per cent basis; it is
probably now assessed upon IL IS per
cent basis, which would be equivalent
to an increase of 200 per cent. In
other words Il two mills levy under
the present valuation would be equiv
alent to il six mill levy under the old
valuation, and in addition we have
more than Il million dollars from other
sources which, il raised under the odd
system, would bring the levy up TO
about nine mills. In other words, if
we had no new sources of income and
Il 20 per cent valuation. 1t would take
a levy of about nine mills to raise the
money which will he necessary tt sup.
port the state government during the
current year.

the new project.
AS the result Of the flight, it is said
an aerial route has been photographed
and charted d%iagonally across the

with tentative supply and air service
sites.
The air board says that the follow.
ing has been accomplished by the
flight:
An effective aerial route to the

tinent and Asia has been established,
Inaccessible areas in Alaska which
had never been mapped have been
charted and photographed.

This probably as much as anything
else will give some idea of the state
of mind of the Western Canada farm
er, as he watches the tally from the
thrashing machine while his wheat 10
being carried to the elevator.
From all sections of the country,
the most optimistic reports are re-
ceived, the local and city papers are
filled with reports from twenty to thir-
ty bushels of wheat to the acre, while
IN some places oats are showing a rec
ord of as high as 100 bushels to the
acre.
Referring to Saskatchewan, it is con-
fidently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell in districts that
did not promise so we'll in July, had
greatly improved the prospects there.
and there is nc question that paying
yields will be produced. The yields
in the eastern part of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those of the western part, but
too much cannot be said of this, for 1t
Is the results as they come from the
machine, and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason to believe
that the wheat. crop of the three prai-
rie provinces will approach $50 mill
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
-ono ro x,i01I will h@ 1~--ll~--LH-
higher than it has been in the province
In any of the last four years.
The Department Of Agriculture in a
recent report gave the opinion that it
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that it might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most Of the wheat in the province
when the report was written, stood
we'll up to three feet high, and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that in parts of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to
the acre yields will not be uncommon,
while there will be a good many yields
Of from thirty to t%hirty-1ve bushels
to the acre.
In the northwest part Of the prov.
lnce, in the country surrounding Bat
tleford and adjacent to the Canadian
National Railway line to Lloydminster,
and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. It has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225,OOO,0O0 bushels, and it may
be that somewhere between 25O,OOO,-
GEO and 3OO,O0O,OOO bushels will be the
fnal figure.
Oats is a good crop in all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were .sown late for green feed,
the yield will be heavy and the grain
excellent. Barley and rye are above
the average. There was sufficient help
to harvest the crop.-Advertisement.

st. Paul.-When Minnesota stat.
fair officials gathered to review the
record of "the worlds greatest state
exposition" their speech was full of
superlatives.
"The state fair board considered
that the 1920 fair has been the most
successful in almost every respect of
any heretofore staged" said Frank w.
Murphy, president of the fair board, in
u statement summarizing the accom-
plishments and results of the fair.
$780, 1855 in Attendance.
"a total of 536.155 persons attended
this year, and had it moi been for rain
two days the extraordinary attendance
record established in 1919 would have
been exceeded easily. We had hoped
for an attendance Of at least 125,0OO
persons on the opening Saturday, but
the all day rain cut the figures to
51,193. A turnstile record of 10000
or 100000 on Saturday would have
enabled the fair to have established a
new record.
THE fair was under heavy financial
responsibilities this year. This is the
only fair IN the country that has ever
attempted to put OF a $1,O00,0OO show.
The money actually spent for per-
manent improvements and producing
the exposition this year falls just short
of $1,000,O00. An appropriation of
100000 was obtained with which to
build a new cattle barn but the ex-
traordinary expense incurred in it's
erection compelled the management to
dig Into the surplus for 100000 with
which to complete the structure.

From a financial angle the fair has
