Soldiers Get Bulk of Tax,
In 1920 the soldiers and the schools
received nearly two-thirds of the en-
tire state levy. Here is how it lined
up, according to Commissioner Wal
|lace's statistics: Soldier bonuses, ST.
|129, $40; the schools, $650,157; penal
[and charitable institutions, $34O, ,8O3;
state departments, $277, 7,046, or nearly
Ecut to half Of the previous year,. state
industries, $97, ,493; bonds and interest,
$157 ,R50; Judiciary and legislative
|$19;l97; miscellaneous, $157,801.
/: The pamphlet also throws an inter-
testing sidelight on railroad taxation.
In 1915, the last year Of Governor
HannaS business administration"
the railroads paid a:total of $2,183,795
In, taxes in North Dakota. In 1919
this amount had been increased to
81, ,010, ,48085; in 1916 the roads paid
in $2,233,7lp.42; in 1917 it was in
creased to 1886, 1897, and in 1918 to
|$3,15o,524.77.
Industries Cost Negligible
According to Commissioner WAL
lace's records as shown in his pamph-
let 39dx cents of each dollar Of the
state tax levy in 1920 went into the
soldier bonus fund mad a little more
than 22 cents into the educational
fund. The detailed statement of the
distribution of each dollar Of state
tax follows: Cents
State bonds, sinking fund.- 2.5
State bond interest fund.- 80
Soldier bonus fund 1915
Legislature Ill
State departments -------- 9.69
State judiciary ------ 1.66
Educational institutions ------ 22.74

Military appropriations ---- .63
State emergency ------------- 80
Public printing ---------- .26
State fairs 20
Bounties -------- 1.21
State industries ---- BAL
miscellaneous " 1.27
Total 90
From the above it is seen that in
stead Of bankrupting the state, as the
I. V. A. has been publishing broad
least over the country, the state indus
tries last year cost the taxpayers less
than 3h cents on each dollar of state
,taxes paid in 1920. A farmer whose

High Prices Here TO Remain, Noted
Economist Claims.

Washington, Aug 22-High prices
are here to stay. W. Jett Lauck, one
OF the leading economists OF the
country, made this statement today.
The good old days when Mr.. Common
Citizens salary met living costs with
out stretch OF imagination or strain
OF pocket book are gone, never to e
turn, Lauck declared.
Return to normally means return
to conditions OF 1919-1920, not TO
those OF l913-1914, according to the
economist.
ITO expect a return of the prices
and conditions OF prewar years Is
merely the blindness OF men in al-
ways looking into the past for the
golden age" he said.
According 10 present indications,
prices have reached their lowest lev
ell and are moving upwards, the econ
omist declared.
There can be no doubt that prices
are advancing" Lauck said. More
over. when fundamental industrial
conditions are examined II is prfectly
clear that such advances are newt
able. The price OF an article IS the
combind result OF actual production
costs. in which labor is the chief item
and the profits OF the producer,
wholesaler. retailer and others thru
which IT passes before reaching the
consumer.
During the war these profits
were excessive and profiteering ran
rampant. Some improvement in this
particular have taken place and much
greater improvement could take the
place. But the cold hard fact is that
no important scaling down OF PROFITS
is TO be anticipated in the near fu-
ture."
According to Lauck, neither can
any important reduction in the gen
eral wage level be anticipated. Con-
trary to popular belief, wages on
the whole have fallen to a surprising-
ly small extent. he declared and con
tinued
Here and there wages have fallen
but the striking fact is not that some
wage rates have fallen, but that
wages. on the whole, have fallen so
little. This is partly due to the grow
ing strength OF labor to resist wage
cuts. but primarily to a more alert
public conscience which feels tina;
the average wage Garner for his own
sake and for the sake OF the com
munity must have higher standard
OF living than he has had in the past.
The present business depression
he declared. is primarily financial.
not Industrial.

several hundred pounds to the steers

which should have gone 10 the ranch
er II he had been equipped to finish
the steers
The question naturally arises why
the rancher does not finish his cattle
when all he has 10 do is either to
raise the feed or turn the cattle over
70 nearby live stock farmer who
knows the principle OF finishing cat
tie for market. However, the average
ranchman does not take Tn farming
He owes to ride the range. IL he
could farm and still ride a horse he
might take TO II. but he has little
taste for following pillow or gather
ing corn. A century OF life in the
open has untitled him for the drudg.
cry of farming. The rancher must
combine ranching with farming TO
maintain himself or else pass like
the buffalo and the Indian OF the
plains. The big ranches sooner or
later will be cut up into farms Live
stock will be raised on them, but
it will be finished at home instead of
going north 10 finish. There is no
use shipping Texas grass steers from
the Panhandle TO the corn belt fer
finishing and then shipping the dress
ed carcas back to Texas in the form
OF frozen beef. Texas steers ought TO
be finished at home on the grain sor-
ghums grown in West Texas. They
can II the ranchers would take hold
OF the matter and adapt themselves
10 modern conditions. Land must be
made to produce a maximum at all
times. not a minimum. such as is
the case on the averagd big Texas
ranch.
The live stock farmer. no doubt.
would never think of starting with
twenty COWS. twenty calves tweny
Is, twenty 2's and twenty 3-year-old
steers, as the rancher does. He would
rather start with 100 head OF calves
and begin feeding them at weaving
time. A balanced ration would put
the fat on them so fast that the ay-
erage rancher's eyes would bulge
with wonderment. Instead of steers
Weighing 600 pounds at the end OF
three years the calves from pure
bred best type mothers would weigh
l 900 to 1900 pounds at the age of
Il to 16 months. 1t has been done
in the pens of the corn belt feeders
and it will have to be done in the
pens of Texas feeders, whether on
the big ranches or on the farms.
Every small farm should have
some cattle Of recognized beef type,
the kind which put on weight econom
ically. There is no use wasting time
with any others. The great grain or
sorghum crop grown in the Panhan-
die and all over the plains of West
Texas should be fed into LATHE and
hogs and only finished animals would
ever leave West Texas for market.
The success with feterita and other
grain sorghums attained by the Spur
experiment Station is proof enough
to convince the hardest-headed ranch
man that West Texas has a rare COM
bination in its grain sorghums and
its beef herds II the two would only
be brought together on the same
farm. The small farmer with a few
cattle must show the way. He can
grow the feed and put it into the
cattle. Ranchins is business and It's
success must be measured not by the
size of the ranch but the dividends
shown on the investment at the end
of the year
