HIGHER GASOLINE TAX PREPOS
TFROJrS

Still the talk of more taxes goes
on, and now it is proposed to increase
the tax on gasoline to five cents per
gallon-an outlandish proposition.
Gasoline is used for some purpose by
nearly every family in the state, Ell
Their for an auto, stationery engine.
cleaning, cooking or lighting and it is
estimated that the proposed increase
of four cents per gallon would take
an extra four million dollars out of
the pockets of the people of the state
and place it in our already plethora
state treasury to be used for we know
not what purpose; for there is now
talk of diverting a part of the gaso-
line tax to the state general fund
perhaps to enable the administration
to add to the multitude of statehouse
employees. If the gasoline tax were
to be increased the bulk of this est
mated four million dollars would be
paid by those who own and operate

NONPARTISAN LEAGUE DE-
FEATED,

The nonpartisans went down to de-
feat in the recall election held in
North Dakota last Friday and there
is great rejoicing throughout the ma
ton.
The so-called nonpartisan move
ment was started in North Dakota
some six or seven years ago and soon
developed into teaching class hatred,
the farmers being told that Big Bust

chants and newspapers, We're all com
bined to fleece them, and feeling ran
so high that in many instances the
farmers threatened to boycott bust
ness men. Grafters, sanctioned by
the head of the nonpartisan league,
canvassed the state to its remotest
precincts and sold stocks, shares AMI
privileges in many organizations.
said to be a part of the campaign to
defeat the purpose of Big Business.
End newspapers were bought up, a
line of stores started, banks were pur-
chased, and the farmers were prom
ised great dividends and many other
big advantages. The state was Fl.
nally carr ed at the election and the
league p. aced in full control of the
state politically. The Bank of No IN
Dakota was organized and all the

villages, townships ard school ,li;
tricts We're legislated into this bank.
The official printing OF every nat1'e
and kind was controlled. Every
branch of activity of the state was
under the league. Laws We're passed
and constitutional amendments adop-
ted giving the leagre every political
advantage. 1t was proposed to build
elevators and mills to handle the mil
oins of bushels of grain produced
within the state. But there was mis-
management and crookedness de-
veloped. Some of the leaguers were
honest and, rot being blind, became
suspicious of the acts of the leaders
and controversies arose. Finally there
We're splits and fights and withdraw
ais from the league, many of the
most sagacious foreseeing the disas-
ter that has followed The law
known as the initiative and referen-
dun had been killed and, through this
law, changes We're instituted and
powers limited. However, disaster af-
ter disaster threatened. State bonds
authorized would not sell and the

Work on the mills and elevators
ceased. The small flour mill purchas-
ed outright from league sympathizers
failed to make good, the State Bank
failed to pay demands upon it, the line
of stores, known as the Consumers
United Stores Company, went into the
hands of receivers, scores Of banks
were forced to close, newspapers sus-
pended and others paid no dividends
but demanded increasing assessments
upon stockholders. Taxes increased
the state hail insurance department
failed to meet demands against it,
and the home building association

sons are already paying double taxes
on their machines in addition to the
present gasoline tax and drivers IL
cense. But the main objection to an
increased tax on gasoline is that in
stead of looking for sources to draw
more money from the public, our Of
fcials ought to be looking for oppor-
tunities to decrease the drain on our
purses. We need good roads. an
other public Improvements would be
pleasing, but we also need prosperous
and satisfied people on the farms and
in every remote village and settle
ment
4 citizen who believes that he is be-
ing taxed and gouged for all that h.
can possibly pay is not a satisfied
citizen; and he is willing to try almost
anything once in order to secure 1
change" If our state administration
is wise, it will endeavor to convince
the citizenry now that an effort is be-
ing made to improve conditions. and
nothing is so convincing as lower
ing of public demands upon the pri-
waite nurse.

funds were tied up in longtime loans

chaotic that the expression became
common that eve have got to defeat
the league or get out of the state"
One thing had been overlooked: the
league had failed to repeal the law
under which a recall election could b
held, and this made possible its de-
feat Following the election of a year
ago. when the league Won by a small
majority, the Independent voters asso-
citation began discussing a proposition
to have a recall election. Soon it de-
veloped that what was known as the
Mckenzie gang 1.-THE old faction which
fifteen years ago had been thrown
out of power by coalition of the
democrats and progressively had
joined with the league and was
against a recall election. The indie

went ahead. The petitions were pre-
pared and the recall of the governor.
attorney general and commissioner Of
agriculture demanded, together with
the initiation of several new laws.
The three officials have been recalled
and the initiated laws adopted. ac-
cording to news and privatedispatches

a safe and sane administration of the
affairs Of the state.

to drought and hot winds in summer.
Its soil is generally fine and crops

The state is convenient to Duluth and
Minneapolis markets, where its great
grain crops are mostly marketed.
And to one who lived for eighteen
years in the state, there appears to
have been no reason whatever for the
great unrest and CONFUSION which
has taken place during the past six
years. It was purely the outgrowth

worthy ends, must have carried him
far and result in great good; for he

the destiny of North Dakota and we
hope now to see the state recover

GOOD ROOSTER MUST
HEAD FLOCK.
Rooster May Mean Thirty Eggs Per
Hen more than Poor One.

Poutrymen are beginning to pick
their breeding stock for next season,
and are looking for their best hens
to head the flock. Not all good lay
ers should be kept as breeders, for
some birds are too small, or they
may be off color, or have some phys
cal defect that might be transmitted.
Constitutional vigor, is the first re
quisite of a good breeding hen, an
this may be seen in the hen which has
a bright bullying eye, active habits
and good poise of body indicating
health. The next requisite in the
breeding hen, is heavy egg produc-
ton, which may be determined by
trap nesting, or through the culling
system. The last of the three main
points in picking the breeding hen, Is
the type, and the hen should be a good
type of the breed the poultryman is
raising. These three points warns w.
D. Buchanan, poultry extension speci-
alist of the State College of Washing
ton, should never be lost sight of, an
their order never changed
Selecting a hen, however, is only
half the work, for the rooster is half
the flock. To maintain the best
breeding hens the rooster heading the
flock, should have an egg record be-
hind him and come from birds which
were physically perfect. If the poul.
tryman is beginner, it is best to buy
vigorous cockerel from some breed
er who will guarantee him to be from
trap-nested hen with a high egg reg
ord.
The future success of any flock, de-
ponds on the selection of the male
bird. A poor cockerel. a weak bird,
or even strong bird from low pro-
ducing hen may lower the production
of next years flock an average of
thirty eggs per bird, while a good
cockerel may increase the average
egg production of the same flock
thirty eggs per bird. 1t pays divi-
dends to have good cockerel head
the breeding flock, for it may mean
the difference of sixty eggs per bird
for next year.

FERTILIZER PAYS.

Fertilizer applied to two test plots
in Cowlitz county resulted in gain
to the farmer of over $50 per acre.
Potash was placed on the land in one
case, at the rate of $50 pounds per
acre which gave an increased yield
over land having no potash, of Is
per acre. The fertilizer cost S10.25.
while the potatoes are worth $50 90
per ton. Acid phosphate applied at
the rate of 300 pounds per acre, COS t
ing $500, increased the yicld liz
tons per acre, or gave a cash return
over cost of $50 PEI acre. These
demonstration plots were conducted
by the county agent to determine the
advisability Of applying fertilizer on
potatoes.
