NORTH DAKOTA
!. TAXES UNDER
u. !. OTHER STATES 4 |
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN,
] NAVE LARGER INCREASES.
t<t,y FOR STATE PURPOSES

- ,kharck, N. D.-Official reports of
st3 ,1evies for Minnesota and Wis
co11fn, how available, show increases
considerably greater than that in
North Dakota.
While North Dakota has given the
soldier a bonus of $25 a month, as
compared with SIS by Minnesota and
$40 by Wisconsin, this state has an
Increase in taxes over 1918 of only
III per cent, as compared with 1856
for Minnesota and 116 for Wisconsin.
Neither of the above states has
inaugurated any industrial program
such as is alleged to be the cause of
high taxes here, and the governments
OF both are IN no way connected with
the Nonpartisan league.
The official figures OF state taxation
for the years 1913 and 1919 are as fol-
lows:
1913 1919:
North Dakota Sl,63O,l55, S 3,9S5,SS4
Minnesota ...-.... 6,l07,006 14,400,743
Wisconsin ..... 5,OS7,447 14O55, 1923
The Wisconsin taxes for 1919, as
stated above, are really under the
true figure by the amount of $780,
142, the reason being that some of the
counties are issuing bonds to pay part
of the taxes to the state. Wiscon-
sins rate of increase is, therefore, ac-
tually PIP per cent.
On per capita basis the state
taxes of North Dakota for 1919 COM
pare favorably with those Of nearly
every western state, as the following
table, excluding soldier bonus taxes,
shows:

Almost all thought and action here
is subordinate to the whims and the
profit of the lumber interests. It is
an open shop town; out in the log
ging camps in the woods the Indus
rial Workers of the World have the
power that their uncrushed solidarity
gives them; but in the own, organized
labor has never been able to get
foothold. Only the railroad men in
their brotherhoods are strong in Cen

John N. Hagan, commissioner of
agriculture and labor, has returned
from New Orleans, where he went to
investigate the Louisiana state owned
marketing enterprises in the interests
of the North Dakota industrial com
mission. Mr.. Hagan found that af-
ter five years Of operation the whole
people of the southern state are
strong for state-owned marketing IA
cilities. Louisiana has issued $780,
$50, 900 of the same kind of bonds
that North Dakota intends to issue.
No suit was brought to test their
constitutionality, Mr.. Hagan found.

SOMEBODY. LIED"

Or is Ladd and the rest of the socialist
gang, talking through their hat, COM
monty speaking, lying? Had such
prices prevailed, Breckenridge, Wolver-
ton, Moorhead, Halstad, Hendrum,
East Grand Forks and all similarly
situated Minnesota elevators would
have been closed for lack of business.
Even difference of or 10 cents a
bushel would have brough the Mime
sofa wheat to North Dakota but it
stayed at home, and much North Da-
kota wheat crossed the Red to get
better market in Minnesota.
Such barefaced lies will come home
to roost. A gang that resorts to such
balderdash must be in the last ditch.
It's a pity that Professor Ladd's name
should be used as cloak for such
falsehoods. a..,.,s-... ,.. ., -.- ..-.-a.
Only the hope that lie spread thick
enough will always leave some stick
ing, especially among those who either
do not read at all or do not read any
thing but the claims and arguments of
one side, could give even the Townley-
lied with its gall and nerve. courage
enough to put such fantastic and
untruthful claim in print. nj
Forgot to Tell About Melon Patch.
A farmer hauling 100 bushel tank
of wheat to Breckenridge, MoOrhead
or East Grand Forks, could, according
to this claim, have hauled it across
the bridge, and less than. a quarter
mile, and received 1898 more for the
tank of wheat, but didn't do it. Evil
IDENTIFY money is.no object to Mime
sofa farmers. Townley must have for
gotten to inform even his friends on
the Minnesota side about the melon
patch across the Red river In North
Dakota.

grading and dockage INDUCED In by
the socialist press is simply ridiculous
in view of the actual facts surround
ing this difficult matter.
Honest Grades Wanted.
There is hardly man in North
Dakota outside of the insane asylum
who does not desire and believe in d
just and correct standard of grades,
just as we'll as he believes in sound
money and honest weights. The great
difficulty is how to find standard
method of grading that will enable
seller and buyer of grain to grade fair
ly the varying crops from year to year.
One year large plump wheat, the next
year kernels shriveled by drought or
rust. Even in the same year the diff
ferent zones of the state frequently
demand different grading methods.
Present System Faulty.
| The present state grading system
which on account Of the litigation as
to whether any one state can demand
that it's grades be recognized by the
general expert market is suspended by
the federal courts, probably tempo

quantities of three certain lots Of
wheat grading respectively No. l, No.
and No. 8, if mixed will all grade
No. 1. Were the grades perfect, this
could not be done. To find the bread
value and feed value of a varying
crop will require the careful expert
ence of many years to come.
The present rules on dockage have
not produced the great money gains
for the individual farmer, or farmers
in general, that is claimed, as every
farmer who raises wheat knows. Much
Of the crop does not come under the
rules on account of the 3 per cent
limit; in some the cost of cleaning ex-
ceeds the feed value of matter separ-
ated; in many places the market is
lowered when dockage is paid for.
While in practice 1t has worked some
hardship for farmers elevators in
