TO THE VOTERS

To the Voters Of Indepen-
dence County:
| have decided to submit my
name as a candidate for rep
resentative from our county
and in doing so, desire to make
the following statement.
If elected l will make it my
chief purpose to do everything
| can to advance the agricul-
tural interests of our county
and state. Agriculture is the
great, basic industry of our
state; the one upon which all
others rest, and If we are to
get very FAR on the road to real
prosperity we must make
greater efforts to give our boys
and girls a clear understand
ing Of the fundamental princi-
pies of soil management.
All wealth comes from the
soil. The towns and cities re-
ceive their life from the coun-
try. Their only hope lies in
the stream Of fresh, strong
blood that flows in from the
rural districts.
The hope of the nation lies
in making strong, sober-mind-
ed young men and women up
on the farms, and giving them
an insight into the possibilities
of the soil.
So far as material things go,
agricultural education is our
greatest need and | will do ev-
| can to encourage it.
| have ne promises to make
except that I will try to accom-
plish some things that will be
of real benefit to our county
and state.
1 will support a law giving
to each county its automobile
tax. l will do my best to have
a pure seed law passed, pro-
teeting the farmers from mixed
and impure seeds. Certain
wholesale seed houses main
tain dump pile" from which
they supply inferior seeds to
states having no such laws.
Respectfully submitted,
NJ. NJ. RUTHERFORD.

George Totten, Sr.

position of superintendent of the re-
form school to Iverson, and that
Iverson has not indicated whether or
not he will accept. He has, however,
placed his Lakota residence on the
market.
The movement against Mr.. Devine
has been under way for some time;
being initiated by Mr.. Totten short

LEAGUE CUT TAKES
BUT FAILED TO CUT
ITS APPROPRIATIONS

Bismarck, N. D., April 7.-(Spe-
cial. .)-In a letter to the independ-
end press of the state issued today,
Assistant Attorney General Packard
denies that he passed upon the Roy
lance tax measures as passed by "the
late lamented sixteenth legislative
assent bly," and shows how the tax
matters of the state have been bun
gled by the league thru it's boss
controlled secret caucus.
Under House Bill No. So the leg
islature made the much boasted Of
reduction in state taxes Of twenty
five per cent, or total of 1884,
10000. House Bill No. "A reduced
the appropriations of the legislature
$389,685.0O and at the same time
new appropriations amounting to
$142,50O.0O were made, so that the
net decrease in the appropriations
for two years is only $247,185.0O.
This leaves the net decrease in ap-
preparation for this year $4,000.
The letter points out that this leaves
! deficit of $741 100000 for the state
taxpayers to make up Mr.. Packard
says either this year or in the flu
ture.
"To state the proposition other
wise. while the income of the state
was reduced twenty-five per cent, the
liabilities of the state were reduced
three and half per cent. 1t is thus
clear that if the figures Df the tax
commissioner in the statements
which they are sending broadcast
thruout the state are correct, Mr..
Lemke is wrong. And regardless Of
when House Bill "A goes into effect,
II his argument is correct, the tax
payers of North Dakota must make

One thing that ought to be remem-
bered by Americans who may have
been influenced by the undertakers'
lobby and propaganda is this: Tho
French themselves have not been al
lowed to remove their own dead from
the places where they fell to their
cemeteries. They lie where they
we're first buried, for there has not
been time or transport to centralize
them, even in large cemeteries. as
yet. There has not even been enough
rail transport this winter to get coal
into Paris from the seaports to keep
the Inhabitants from suffering, and
yet the propagandists for American
body removal wave their; heads airly
and say st is easy to be done.'
No other nation which fought on
French soil is removing the bodies Of
Its dead. British (including their
colonia1s) Belgian, Italian and
others all lie sleeping their last sleep
beside their brothers IN arms who
fought to defend the democracy Of.
the world. {

ing speculative securities, consisting
of rabbits, in violation Of the state
"blue sky" law, was bound over
to the district court yesterday after
noon by Justice ]. X. Bingham and
spent the night in jail when he failed
to raise $4,000 bail.
Birs bought rabbits for $3.50 to
50 each, sold them for $40 to $3.50
each, keeping the rabbits at the
farm and promising huge profits,
testimony showed.
&C. A. Anderson, sales manager of
the company during part Of March,
said that while he had bought
rabbit and in go or 80 days" hal
got dividend Of $50 on his $40 pur-
chase, he did not know whether a
rabbit had been designated as his, OF
whether 1t had given birth to young,
If one had been set aside as his, or
how his dividend had been arrived
at.
May Not BE Tried Until Fall.
Birs' case may not be called in tha

Gated last night. The penalty in case

pany sold as many of 1890 rabbits

YANKS IN. FRANCE
WANT DEAD LEFT
WITH COMRADES

Paris, France, April Z. - The
American Legion post in Paris is
thoroly opposed to the removal Of
the bodies of their. comrades from
French soil, as are ex-soldiers, well
fare workers and others who went
thru the war over there and have
seen the American cemeteries where
the dead now lie and the care that
in these and smaller ones the French
bestow on the former Yanks who
sleep in the soil of France, says the
Stars and Stripes. II the families of
som9 of the dead heroes wish the
bodies removed to the United States
that is family question, but the
men here are convinced that could
those relatives see the cemeteries in
France the would allow their dead
to have their last wish and remain
beside those with whom they fought
against the common enemy,
One thing should be understood
thoroly in the United States by the
relatives of these fallen, and that is
the elaborate care which is being ta-
ken over each burial spot. There is
a Graves Registration Service of the
American Army with headquarters in
Paris. All France has been divided

There are FL cemeteries in France
in which there are more than 200
graves. Every cemetery of 500
graves has a regular officer in charge.
assisted by number of American
civilians, ex-soldiers who have been
discharged In France. In the larger
cemeteries there are two officers and
a proportionate number of civilian

it can be seen that the soldier dead
