ing that the Advocate prints 6 pages
at home, when practically all the time
they print but 4, the reader gets 72O
inches of reading matter il. the Ad-
vocate whether it be local news, adver-
Using or legal notices and this
mind you costs $500 per year. In The
Courant will be found 1882 inches of
reading, display and official advertis-

number Of inches printer at home by
the Advocate and you get The Cour-
ant for $3.50 per year.
Wilson does not try and deny that
The Courant has the equipment to
give service on the printing of official
advertising and he sure pulled a good
n when he tried to show our saving
was just to the business men.
Wilson says zone of our friends re-
marked the other day that we were
doing all right for a beginner and he
though if we kept at it long enough
to get the experience we could tell as
big "whoppers" as Dick does"
A friend of former years of the Red
Champion remembered when Wilson
was picking potatoes at Souris years
ago he was considered n of the three
best prevaricators in that city. We
will not mention the other mans
name, but Wilson nswer for the
other two.
Wilson has an idea because he can
raise Rhode Island Red chickens ard
fleece the public for practically every
award in the premium list offered for
red chickens, he can also do the same
thing in the printing business but if
he stays with it a while longer he may
find a lot of difference.
We almost forgot to mention Sam
that we are soon to cash in on another
of those big checks for the tax list and
please be enlightened with the follow
ing; the taxpayers are again being
saved several hundred dollars on the
tax list. .

in order to e~mbarrass, injure and de-
stroy those who refused to bow down
to the king. A reign Of terror has been
created, ill feeling engendered, neigh
Dor arrayed against neighbor, and q
condition created it will take years to
overcome, all for no other purpose
than that a few blatherskites may
break into office.
The Nestos administration has been
a fake and a fraud from the very
start. It has not accomplished one sin
gle thing of benefit to the state as
a whole.
It has practically destroyed the
Bank of North Dakota, ard the one
hope of the people in breaking away
from the tyrannical domination of the
Twin City banking trust, which die
tates the policies of IS per cent of the
banks of North Dakota .
1t has shamely sabotaged the rural
credits act, with the result that thous-
ands of farmers have beer closed out
of their homes when they could easily
have been saved had the Nestos ad-
ministration been more responsive to
their needs and less responsive to the
wishes of the Twin City leeches who
are sucking the very life blood from
the state.
1t has closed it's eyes to violations
of the prohibition, pool hall, anti-cig-
arctic and other laws of the state
with the result that there never vas a
time in the history Of the state when
there was more lawlessness and less
respect for the law than now.
1t has been an administration of n.y.
pocrisy, fraud and deceit. A molly-cod-
die affair, impoteht, weak and vacil-
lating.
1t is the only administration the
state has ever had of which not a sin
cere word of praise may be uttered ,o1
one creditable act charged to.
Bad as it has been, however, it
could be worse-we could have two
more a of it.-Courier-News.

. A SAVING TO TAXPAYERS

Rhode Island Red Wilson in last
weeks Advocate tries to make it ap-
pear that The Courant charged the
county of Bottineau the full rate pro-
vided by law for the publication of the
tax list and cites that "the Cavalier
County Republican is an independent
newspaper and that if he, Wilson,
knows our history correctly we learned
our printing trade at Langdon and
that this Independent newspaper saved
the people of Cavalier county several
hundred dollars last year because they
didn't have the heart to charge legal
rates." Well, again if Wilson knew the
printing business he would not have
pulled the above "boner." The Courant
received $2513.10 for the publication
of the tax list and saved the taxpay-
ers of Bottineau county several hun
dred dollars. But then, why should
Wilson know, even if he did have
brains enough to count the lines of the
tax list he would not know what to
charge per line. Ard further what
does Wilson know about setting mat
ter "fat" or clean" Last years tax
list was handled by The Courant in a
way that several hundred dollars was
saved on composition alone and be-
sides that a cut was made in the total
price.
Wilson cites that The Courant ad-
vertised a saving to buyers Of job
work of from 20 to so per cent over
the other shops of the county, but says
Aof course we will excuse The Cour-
ant editor for we know he does not
given the cut mentioned, but merely
advertises that way to get business.
lust q slight preyarication, that's all"
He further says that we give a cut of
20 to so per cent to the business men,
the buyers Of job work, but that when
the taxpayer ome into consideration
be must pay an unjust rate as regards
the tax list, but Of course Wilson
was again wrong.
To make the plan o little clearer
of how our saving Of from 20 to so
per cent is taken advantage of by
practically svery taxpayer of Botti-
zeau county, we will cite an item, and
which is not D small one, in which prac-
tically everyone is interested and
whore the taxpayer is saved rs per
cent over the Advocate ard the other
rs per cent 10 gained through getting
more for the money. The Advocate Z
