furnish feed and seed, or to secure
private help in furnishing same?
Is the county as such, in a position
to bond for seed, and is it contem-
plating doing SO? ".
Do your people regard federal aid
for his purpose desirable?
The governor, in his letter, con-
tinued:
1T is, Of course, very desirable that
every farmer who can furnish the
feed and seed himself, or can secure
privately the needed money should do
so. and leave the public aid for those
who would be unable. otherwise, to
SOW their lands.
II also believe hat it would be
rendering your people Il real service
if you would unite in urging upon
your farmers the need OF greater di-
versification. In the long run the
raising of more cattle, hogs and
chickens and the planting of corn, po-
tatoes and garden truck will make
prosperity more certain, and the
problem OF furnishing seed and feed
will thereby be materially lessened.'
The governor urged the necessity Of
early action in the matter.

CONVERSE HAS
new TAX IDEA
New Plan For Taxing Capt.
tai Stock of Railroads is
Under Consideration.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2S.-Tax
Commissioners G. c. Converse is con-
templating a new attempt to tax the
railroads Of the state under the CAPT.
tai stock law. following receip and
study of the opinion of the supreme
court OF the United States which re-
Gently handed down an opinion in
favor Of the railroads in Il suit OF the
state to collect the tax.
The ne wmethod which III be
adopted is that Of taxing the railroads
capital stock which the business Of
the year in North Dakota bears to the
entire business Of that year.
Mr.. Converse said first dispatches
as to the decision of the supreme
court were in indicating
that the court threw out the North
Dakota case on the ground that the
railroads were in government control
at h time the state levied the excise
tax. The supreme court, he said, held
that the North Dakota statute did
! not authorize the apportionment Of he
tax upon the basis of the proportion
ate value Of the property of the rail-
roads within and without the state,
which was the basis which had been
used in making the assessment.
When the tax was first levied the
1OTIIleT ldA COMMISSIONERS uScu q I1lAlC-
age basis specified in the act. The
supreme court of the United States
held this a wrong method. The state
a second time levied the tax, this timt
on a property basis. The supreme
court holds this method is wrong un'
der the statute.
While it appeared at first that unde,
the decision of the supreme court o
the United States there was no statut'
,,,,1o~ uyhioh- thu fra n Phi rights a.
the railroads can be taxed, it nov
appears to Mr.. Converse after stud.
that there is a possibility Of collecting
the tax by a new method.
