Offsetting Tax Increases
The Red" Ship Departs
Packers Confess Sins
The "Farmer Strike" Idea
Saving by Living on Nothing

Taxes have everywhere had to in
crease where the same amount of pub
lie business was carried on. The 81
cent dollar is the chief reason. If
taxes remained the same our states
would have to close the schools, close
the hospitals, allow the roads to be-
come mudholes and dispense with the
administration of Justice. This simple
fact is everywhere realized, but only
in North Dakota, where state taxes
have increased less than anywhere
else, is much weeping done on the
shoulder of the taxpayer, and the
tears she'd are Judas tears.
Not only have North, Dakota's
state taxes failed to follow the pace
set by other. states, but North Dakota
alone is giving the people savings to
offset necessary increases in public
expense. Hail insurance saving alone
more than makes up the increase in
state taxes the farmers will pay. T.
II. Schell, a farmer near Nortonville,
paid $467 for hail insurance on 1000
acres, with loss limit of SIS and Sc,
to an old-line company in 1918. In
1919 he paid $3.50 on this thousand
acres, with a loss limit of 81 an acre,
to the state. The difference of STAT
gives him a nice margin over the in
crease in his state taxes.
Farmer; Schell declares that when
he puts this dynamite under the
noses of the anti-farmer "sympathiz-
'ers" it. makes them sicl-positively

COMETS SCATTER
DISEASE GERMS

Some scientists claim That comets
sprinkle the earth with disease germs.
comets are fragments OF worlds torn
apart, as they believe. organisms or
disease germs would be carried with
the debris. In cold spaces hhey would
remain dormant, hui when projected
into the higher temperature sur
rounding the earth they would again
become active and dangerous to hu-
manity.
As proof. they point TO the fact
that the worldwide epidemic OF in

appearance Of Halley's comet, through

A,E, EDWARDS DISCUSSES
 MARSHALL OUTLOOK

Albert E. Edwards, prominent mer- chant and mine operator of Marshall and Old Hamilton. is a firm believer in the mining future of the Marshall section and predicts that it will he steady producer for years to come. The camp. like most of the mining sections of Alaska, has suffered some what from the conditions created by the war. High costs of mining sup plies and shortage of men have greatly retarded development during the past two or three years, particularly with respect to the extensive low grade de- posits, but machinery is now supplant- ing the older and costier hand methods and is proving q successful means of overcoming the deterrng conditions. MT. Edwards says he has absolute faith in the future of the district and be steady gold porducer for q num- her of years to come.
 As Marshall is q summer camp. there was little mining going on dnr- ing the past winter. There was some prospecting but no active mining op- crations devoloae until recently. wi.en the summer digginss opened.
 Six claims were in operation on Willow Creek and two in the Wilson Creek when Mr. Edwards left. About fifty men were employed and about fifty others could have obtained em- ployment had they been available. Tha wages paid are SC and board for an s hour day. The following claims had opened up for the summer at the time of MT. Edwards departure.
