CAPlTAT TAX
SHOWS GROWTH
Big Increase for General
Fund Seen During Re
girne Of League in State.

Bismarck, Nov. 18.-North Dakota's
per capita tax has increased one dol
lar and eight cents for general fund
purposes in the last six years, accord
ing to a recent compilation Of the
state tax department. In the same
time. the per capita tax for special
purposes has increased one dollar and
three cents. If to this is added the
per capita tax now being paid upon
the soldiers bonus. which reached
S1.65 in 1922. the total, average per
capita tax Of North Dakota 10 1858.
In 1916 the average per capita tax
al $2.77. !.
In figuring the per capita tax of the
state for each of the years it was
necessary to reach a basis Of the pop
and the 1920 fluctuations of the cen-
sus of tho state available 1t was easy
to compute the average increase for
each of these years and the years
between them. The tax department
continued the average growth Of these,
a to include 1921 and 1922, 1t be-
ing probable that the per capita av-
erage Of growth for the final two
years VAS below rather than above the
five period.
Steady Climb Seen.
In the 1915 year North Dakota had
a per capita tax Of $2.44 for general
purposes and a per capita tax Of 35c
for special taxes. The year 1917 found
the general tax reduced to 1924 and
the. special, tax up to 35c per capita,
the total reduction for the year be-
fore being s cents per capita. The gen.
eral per capita tax advanced 2. cents
ir 1918, while the special tax went
lup to a.speaking acquaintance with q
dollar, or to Ate, while the total
led the 1915 total by 6 cents.
In 1919 both the per capita tax for
general and special purposes increas-
ed and the ~perScapita tax as a whole
above So for the first time.
The general tax was $2.55 this year
and the special tax CSC.
Both general and special taxes made
unusual advances in 1920. The general
tax went skyward to 1924, while the
special tax added to itself. many pen

Nit will be noted. il based upon the ac-
curate population estimates or emu

called electrOnS. The apparent mass
of an eleCtron is about One-eighteen-
hundreth part of that of an atom of
hydrogen which is the smallest of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electrOn theory
an atom consists of a definite num-
Der of electronS grouped around
nucleus having a positive charge and
SO long as none of the component
eleCtrons are driven from the atom,
the latter possess no detachable charge.
The positive charge on the nucleus is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
negative charges on the electrons
grouped about it,
Suppose now that by some means
an electrOn can be detached from the
atom Then the atom becomes what
is known as a positive ion and it eX-
hibits the properties of positively
charged body, or in other words since
an eectron which carries negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion of the
atom now remaining has deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other hand if some force can
be brought to bear that will add an
electron to normal atom which is
neutral as far as electrical charges
are measured. the result will be ne
gative ion, which will possess all the
properties of a negatively charged
body. An atom then which has a
deficiency of eleCtrOns is called pos
tive ion and one having excess of
electrons is called a negative ion.
Since each ecctron carries ne
gative charge of electricity an cleo
tron represents a certain quantity OF
electricity. Forcing electrOns to move
frOll one point to another causes
electricity to flow. The ability of any
medium to conduct electricity or allow
current to flow through 1t depends
upon the number Of free electrOns
available as carriers of charges.
II llUN DttIl hllbNll l'l many S''i'
that the space surrounding piece Of
heated metal is Il conductor Of
electricity. 1t has been demonstrate
ed more recently that this Is due to the
release Of eleCtrOns and that If an
lnCandesCent metal be placed in a
bulb exhausted of all gases, pure cleo.
irons will be liberated from the in
CnndcScent metal.
In Il vacuum tube saCh as we are
using at the present time, the piece

ed by battery current and it is this
heat furnished by the battery current
that constitutes the force that dis
rupts the atoms of the filament and
liberateS electrOns.
Fig. III is a spherical glass bulb
from which all the air and gases have
been exhausted and having mounted In
it tilament CD which can be heated
to incandescence by the "A" battery
connected to it, and the metallic plate
e. When the filament CD is heated
to incandeScence by the "a" battery
connected across it's terminals cleo
irons are emitted. Connecting the
cold plate e to the incandescent fla
ment CD by means of the circuit E.
F-G-H which includes a current meter
and "B" battery, with its negative
side connected to the filament lead
at H and it's positive side connected
through the current meter, the plate
becomes electrically positive with re-
spect to the filament.
Since like charges repel and unlike
charges attract, there will be a move
ment of electrons from the filament
to the positively charged plate, and
the current meter will show a dehec.
ton which indicates that a current is
flowing in the circuit E-F-G-H.
Increasing the "B' battery voltage
causes an increase in the current
flowing in the circuit E-F-G-H, the
plate circuit, until the positive charge
on the plate E is so strong that all
Of the electrOns given off by the fila.
ment are attracted to it. Assuming
that the temperature of the filament is
kept constant and that the plate vol.
tage has been increased to the point
where all Of the electrons given off
by the tilament are attracted to it,
any further increases in the "B" bat.
terry voltage will not cause any in.
crease in the current in the plate cir.
cult.
Increasing the temperature of the
tilament will increase the total mum.
Der of the electrons emitted.
