The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1921-04-14
BY George E. Valance

ny NcOISe II. variance
During the past winter there have
been collected in, nearly one and one
half million dollars in litigated taxes
from outside sources. This brings
money into the state at a time most
needed and in fact, furnished the rev.
enue to keep a large number of
schools open.
The principal source of such col
lection was the railroads. Tax pay
ers of the state are. interested in
knowing how much money the rail-
roads pay toward supporting the state
government. Following is a list cover
ing the last five years showing a
gradual increase in taxes paid by the
railroad companies.
1915--$2,183,795.15.
1916-$2,233,719.42.
1917-$2,635,193.97.
1918-$3,15O,594.77.
1919-$4,O1O,43O.85.
The above figures include the taxes
which have been in litigation for the
years 1917 and 1918, but they do not
include any special improvement tax
eS.
The year 1919 showed a heavy tax
burden on the part of the state and
all municipalities. Tax payers are in
terested in knowing whether or not
the increase in North Dakota is out
of proportion to the increase in the
adjoining states. Comparing the in
crease in North Dakota state taxes
with the increase in other states we
find that the increase in Wisconsin
in the year 1919 over the year 1915
was 1876 per cent as compared with an
increase of 1923 per cent in the State
of North Dakota.
In Minnesota the increases for the
five year period was 1872 per cent
against 129 per cent in North Dakota.
In South Dakota the increase for
the five year period was 1875 per cent
as against 129 per cent in North Da-
kota.
In Montana we find that the state
has not been paying it's running ex-
penses. Governor Jos. M. Dixon was
on the fourth day Of Jan
uary Of the present year. In his in
address he shows up the fl
nancial situation in that state. He
says that the State Treasury of Mon
tana on the first day of March 1921
would be overdrawn to the extent Of
81, O44,447.O0 with practically no re-
coming in until tax paying time
December. He also states that the
state government in debt during
the past year to the amount of ST.
21O, 225.O 90 or at the rate of $3,315 per
The Governor further says: "But
the embarrassment that c%onfronts the
of Montana is by no means
confined to the state government
itself. The burden of the state govern
ment, is in fact a .bagatelle when COM
pared with the cost of local govern
.ent in the counties, municipalities
and school districts. Ordinarily the av-
crage citizen carries the fixed belief
the state government is largely
responsible for high taxation. Nothing
is further from the TRUTH"
Following is a table of statistics
taken from the Bureau of Census for
the year ending June 80, 1919, show
ing the per capita tax of several of
the northwestern states. 1t is notice
able that the per capita tax in North
Dakota was lower than in any of the
other states in the group, to-wit:

Premier SHUTS of South Africa Meets
With Sim Fem Leaders,
Peace Runored

Duhlin.-In view Of the Importance
and delicacy of the situation, those
concerned with the peace movement
have decided that rericence is the best
policy. Consequently. aside from the
fact that Jan c. SHUTS. the South
African premier. has arrived and held
private conversations With certain
Irish leaders, there is virtually nothing
known by the general public as to how
matters are progressing.
Everybody is talking peace. and
rumorS that truce is about 10 begin
are current everywhere, but neither
side has issued any statement. There
is an evident slackening of the gov
ernment'S repressive activities in some
directions. while it is remarked that
there has been no ambushing of crown
forces in Dublin and the immediate
neighborhood for some days. As re-
CARDS the continuance of tragedies in
the country districts. it is contended
these districts often are not in direct
touch with Sim Fein headquarters.
The Irish Bulletin, organ of the Dali
EiraenD, comments upon the signifi-
canoe of Mondays conference between
Eamonn De Valera and the southern
unionists.
THE fact that the conference adj

'is proof that lrishmen of hitherto
widely divergent opinions can continue
to deliberate upon the best means of

ference occurred on date celebrated
in The United States as the anniver-
