Owing to the tedious work required
TO gather Wild native pecan, and the
low price generally paid for the nuts
after they are gathered the native
gets but little consideration, but with
standard varieties budded into native
trees and become bearing, the work
of gathering is much quicker and the

MILO CITIZENS
ARE INTERESTED
IN COUNTY FAIR

Milo. Okla. Sept. Ga great deal
OF interest in rhe Carter county fair
has been manifested the last few days.
Much interest was shown here
where o. X. Darden, member Of the
free fair board and NJ. T. Pierce,
county commissioner spoke in very
definite terms as TO the prospects.
Mrs. G. w. Amerson, supervisor
of Milo club and a very live booster
for the fair presided at the meeting
and the enthusiasm seemed to rediate
into all the crowd.
Mrs. Amerson pledged gcodly ex-

Mr.. Darden is authority supreme on
pecan culture, he is president Of the
Oklahoma Pecan Growers Association.
Mr.. Darden will also attend meet
ings of a similar nature at other
points all over the county, with
the county agent during this week
and until the fair is over.

PECAN GROWERS IN
THIS COUNTY ARE
GETTING ACTIV E.

The Oklahoma Pecan Growers AS
ISOLATION. that was launched in this
city last spring. is preparing for an &C
tive campaign throughout this section
in an effort to get owners of native
trees to bud them with high ~
stock, and to induce others TO plant
pecan trees, and prepare for an or
chard that will be the source of a
good income in the years TO come.
o. X Darden, president of the asso-
citation. in statement sets forth the
advantages of the pecan over any
other crop grown. and is worthy of
careful consideration by all who own
few native trees, and who have been
making consistent failures with a cot
ton crop each succeeding year.
The object of the proposed drive,
will be for the purpose of educating
the present membership of the organi-
Zation, to induce others TO join and to
get the business started on a com
prehensive basis that will eventually
prove successful enterprise.
From figures supplied by the pres
ident, the proposition cannot help but
appeal TO any business man who de-
sires a change OF local conditions, and
from the number of native trees in
this section Of the state yet unbudded,
it seems that there is room for great
activity this fall and winter In
speaking further on the subject the
president says:
Our association has created consid-
cradle interest locally and many who
owned native trees took advantage of
the opportunity, and have had them
budded with high class scions during
July and August, and the buds have
set, and make a very flattering show.

IS per cent of the buds will be sue

THE number of native trees budded
in this vicinity during the months Of
July and August will probably reach
$500. Most of this work has been
performed by myself Doc Coffey and
c. f. Ringer, although several have
entered the work on their own ac.
count, and have budded their own
trees.

MIR. BALF0UR'S FAITH IN
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Discussing the question Of the at
titude Of the United States toward
the League of Nations, something
over a year ago, Mr.. Herbert S.
Houston, Of the League to Enforce
Peace, declared very justly that the
most effective thing for the friends
Of the League Of Nations in Europe
TO do, to strengthen the hands Of its
friends in America was TO make the
present league operative and effec-
tive in every possible way; IF the
League Is 10 go forward on one leg
and a crutch," Mr.. Houston declar'
ed, 1T is better TO have it 80 for
ward and make all the progress II
can, rather than wait for America
TO come in In his speech at the
recent imperial conference in London,
Mr.. Balfour showed clearly that this
is exactly what the League Of Nations
is doing He frankly admitted that
the League as al present constitut-
ed. is indeed going forward "on one
leg and q crutch,' but he also made
Il clear that it IS going forward
ana accomplishing much. Mr.. Bar
four, who Is certainly amongst rhe
Leagues most able exponents and
advocates. does not blind himself 70
its defects. one by one, in the first
part Of mis- speech, he passed these
defects in review, and concluded with
the remark that the most serious
handicap placed upon the league at
present is the absence from it Of
three Of the creates; nations in
the world, Russia, Germany and
the UnIed states.

shortcrnings however. far from

WORK BEGINS
ON CHARTER
AT BEMIDJl
Commission Hopes To Pre-
sent Acceptable Docu-
ment To Voters

Bemidji, Mimi, Dec. 29.-Bemidji's
new charter commission. recently ap-
pointed by District Judge c. W.. STAN
ton of this city begaq its work in for
mulating a charter to be presented to
citizens her for adoption Wednesday
evening when it met at the rooms of
the Bemidji Civic & Commerce asso-
citation.
The oath of office was administered
by Judge Stanton and the commission
ers then began its work with c. w.
and j. p. Lahr as temporary secre-
tary. 4 committee composed of c. l..
listed, j.. P. Lahr, Harry Bridgeman,
Thayer c. Bailey and F. S. Arnold was
appointed to secure a number Of char
ters being used by other cities and to
make recommendations at the next
meeting of the commission which will
be Wednesday evening Of next week.
Meetings will be held every We'd
neSday evening by the members of the
commission at the Civic & Commerce
association rooms Inc it is the desire
of the members that the citizens at
ten the meetings and that they aid in
every way in securing a charter hat
will be suitable for the government of
this city.
No definite form of charter has been
decided upon by the commission, but
many of the members at the meeting
Wednesday ewing spoke favorably of
the commission-manager form. Those
in favor of this form of charter believe
that such a form of city government
would be economical and that hap
hazard methods which are often
adopted by a. city council composed Of
unpaid members would be eliminated
if a manager VINO devoting all of his
time to the interests Of the city would
be employed.
Every possible means will be used
to keep the public informed as to
what the charter commission is doing
and the members of the commission
invites criticism which tends to create
a, better form of city government.
The members of the commission
hope to form a permanent organiza-

OF course people will say that the
we'll in Minnesota but we must con-
slider the widely different conditions of
Minnesota and North Dakota. / be-
lieve that. where there are a great
many salar!ed taxpayers, the double
payment plan is more than justifabie.
On looking up this matter, I find that
only about $50 Of the tax payers Of
pursuits while the other $50 are en-
gagged in mining, manufacturing.
railroading, numbering. etc. On the
other hand 500 Of the people of
North Dakota are directly engaged in
farming and the other 1917 indirectly
dependent upon agriculture, making a
1909 agricultural state.
It would be we'll for we taxpayers
to figure out this proposition Tor DUR
selves and to try and put our tax
laws back Of safe and sane business
principles. There is no use deceivtng
ourselves that semi-annual payments
Of taxes can ever lessen the burden OF
taxation since the exact opposite q
be, and has been, proven to be the
truth.
Another bad feature OF our new
tax laws is the exemption OF go much
property from the tax lists. It simply
means that the property which -
listed must necessarily pay altogether
too high a rate Of taxation. I believe
that all classes OF property should pay
a just proportion of the taxes. In.
this way the burden OF taxation would
be justly distributed and would not
work a hardship upon certain classes
of taxpayefs.
I said in the beginning that our
taxes have almost doubled in the last
four years. Further than that, I am

In 1916, when farm buildings were

In 1919 a law was passed requiring
the collection Of taxes semi-annually
instead Of annually. Observance of
this law has cost Grand Forks County
somewhere between twelve and
fifteen thousand dollars per year.
This added expense had to be pro-
vided for out of the general5fund and
Il part OF the $51,000.00 shown above.
l believe the old law was a very
good law for the State of North Da-
kota Tor the reason that. If the tax
payer was unable to pay his taxes
from the proceeds of his crop, or, if
he was a stock MAJ and was unable
to turn off his stock before March.
LIST, he certainly was unable to pay
his taxes before he got another crop
In that case IL he paid his taxes be-
fore the following November, he was
only required to pay a ia penalty. This.
would -be no great hardship to him as
the money would be in. the Treasury
Of his County and would be used tc
defray h expenses OF that office.
That liz to say, II 500 OF the tax
payers Of Grand Forks County paid d
~ penalty, through the assistance
OF this money rendered in paying
Necessary expenses Of the Treasury,
this same 50% would receive 500 OF
the benefits of their own money and
would virtually be paying penalty
OF only az "a. The twelve to fifteen
thousand dollars now paid for extra
help extra stationery. books, etc, Is
d dead loss to the taxpayer. All un-
1ecessary expense due-tO duplication
and the like Is cut out of every well
Ircgulated Business concern, and since
the business of Grand Forks County
is the biggest business in the County,
it should be run n strictly business
