Final success in litigation over tax
es levied on incomes, corporation
stock, bank stock, inhcritances and
oil will bring in so much accrued
revenue for North Dakota that the
state tax next year will be less than
l mill. When the levy for the SOL
dier bonus of three-fours of mill is
added the total state tax will be Las
mills, as compared with 2.9l mills for
1919. Such is the prediction of State
Tax Commissioner Wallace.
AT the time the state board of
equalization met last summer" says
the commissioner, "many of these
measures were in litigation and the
collection from these sources very
much in doubt. It was, therefore,
necessary to raise the money to meet
the prospective deficit"
The press which mad so much to
say about high taxes in North Dako-
ia did not tell US that they were high
er in Minnesota and Wisconsin,, al
though these states were working
out no farm program; nor did they
tell US that taxes were higher be-
cause certain anti-farmer interests,
such as the railroads and Standard
Oil, refused to pay up without court
action.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
HAD FEWER FATALITIES
DURING PAST YEAR

Washington, Nov. 2.-Fewer per-
sons were killed on railroads during
1919 than in any year since 1898
and fewer were injured than in. any
year since 1910, said statement is
sued today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
During 1919 total of 6,97S per-
sons were killed and 149,O53 injured
compared with $3.50 killed in 1898
and 119,5O7 injured in 1910. Of the
killed during the year 273 were pas
sengers and of the injured 7,456
were passengers. Employees killed
during 1919 numbered 2,13S and
1908 were injured.

Otherwise, the one selected may be
too large for the dry weather flow.
Small flows may be determined by
noting the time required to fill a
vessel of known capacity. Larger
flows may be determined by weir
measurements.
Where the water supply is far
from the ram site, it is usual to pipe
located so as TO secure the desired
length and fail of drive pipe. Some
times the flow of a spring is too small
to actuate a ram that is sufficient for
domestic requirements. In such in
stances and where a nearby brook
can be damned to obtain the neces-
sary power head. the recoil of the
ram may be employed to admit the
spring water which is pumped by
the fall of the brook water in the
drive pipe.
Water may be raised by hand,
windmill, hydraulic rams, steam. hot
air, gas, internal-combustion engines.
or electric motors. Hand power is
unsuited to large supplies or high
lifts. Windmills are probably the
most familiar type of mechanical
power and often are arranged to start
and stop automatically. Gasoline and
oil engines are well adapted to farm
pumping and may be equipped to
stop at any desired pressure in a
supply tank. The use of electricity
for pumping is increasing. The
method is clean, quiet, and convent
ent. and starting or stopping dis
tant pump by throwing switch may
be practical wherever transmission
lines are sufficiently near.
The whole question of water in the
farm home is discussed in Farmers
Bulletin 941, which will be sent free
on request to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

ed even more by the farm woman
than by her city sister. but because
this convenience and necessity must
come in the country through indi-
vidual effort rather than municipal,
few farm homes have it. In a sur
vey made in 1918 in 90 northern
States it was found that but 80 per
cent of the farm homes had running
water in them. Lack of knowledge
as to what water system to install
rather than lack of means in many
homes is the reason why the women
doing the work in it are still pumping
and carrying water.
The water system in the farm home
may be simple or elaborate, accord
ing to the investment the owner is
able to make, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture rural engineers
say. For country home water sys-
TEN, the water may be raised by nat
ural flow. hydraulic rams, pumps, air
lifts or air-displacement pumps. Hy-
draulic rams are the most ecOnOmi-
cal water-lifting devices.
Since rams of various sizes and
makes perform differently, it usually
is necessary to accept the mechanical
details determined by the manufac-
turer. The minimum, never more
than the average flow of the spring
should determine the size of the ram.
