Everything seems subject to change

doing. To speed things up in Washing

dumb men to Congress. What? Oh,

FORGETTING.

When the war ended, the average
Englishman believed that his country
never would trade with Germany again
on a big scale.
Yet John Bull, balancing his foreign
trade books, finds that England last
year bought about 100 million dollars
worth of German goods.
Have you observed how rapidly the
war is being forgotten in our country ?
It's fading in Europe, too, though at a
slower rate. Hatreds would die a lot
faster over there if politicians were
not pouring kerosene on the fire to
hold their jobs. Time heals all
wounds.

SUN.

Grossman, young New York scien-
fist, thinks he has found way to
"can sunlight" -store the suns energy
and keep it until needed, even at dis
tant places. Whether he has it or not,
it will come, just matter of time.
Meantime, in coal and crops, we have

Cheeseman's claim calls attention to

LOSS.

Freight losses and damages on ali
American railroads combined average
100 million dollars a year, an expert
estimates.
That's another item to charge up
mostly to carelessness.
Since such losses in the long run
are buttered out and shared about
equally by everybody, each of us
knows where 81 of our years income
goes. Better news: While the aver
age is 100 million dollars a year since
1918, the figure for 1922 was only so
millions, which means that we are get
ting more careful as we return to

ROOTJEG.


It's costing over Is million dollars
year to enforce prohibition. This
is shown by figures furnished to
Congress. That's getting off cheap
ly, for the nation, considering the sum
that used to be rung up on the barroom
cash register.
One of these days there may be a
national referendum on prohibition,
probably at presidential election,
though the chances are at least two-to-
one against The election would be
decided by the vets who at the last

FRANKLN's PLACE IN HISTORY

In sheer intellectual power, Benja-

most among the men of the Revolu-
ton, and was one of the most many
sided men of all history. He was a
companion of savants and a favorite
of courtiers, but through it all he re-
manned an American of the good, basic
type, and his life, like his works, is a
lesson in Americanism.-Ex Exchange.

sion on request Of Shc railroads will
not halt preparations for the presen-

half of the coal operators and the
states Of North and South Dakota

that the case will be one Of the most
thoroughly prepared cases involving
Northwestern economic problems
that ever has gone before the Inter-
state body.
A large part of the force Of the
state railroad commission, on the
order of Chairman Frank Milhollan,
is devoting its time to preparation
Of evidence to be introduced in the
case. Other agencies are hard at
work on it.
It is considered likely that the
joint hearing by an examiner for the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and the state railroad commission
will be held the latter part of Feb:
ruary. Chairman MilhollaD Of the
state commission desires that the
first hearing be held in North Da-
kota instead Of at Aberdeen, S. d.,
as originally decided on by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
South Dakota had demanded a hear
ing in the case in that state, and a
hearing was set Tor Aberdeen be-

in states east of North Dakota and

cause of contention. As to our own

TAX LBVIES IN
is COUNTIES
.:0N:DECREASE
C Compilations Made Show
Slight Reductions There
Over Last Year

Tax levies in l6 counties of North
have been reported to the state tax
department, show net decrease of
4.l6 percent over last year, accord
ing to a comparison and compila-
ton of the tax figures. The chief
decreases arc in state and county
levics, while the increases are in
schools and cities and village levies.
The l6 counties arc: Billings, Bow
man. Cass, Eddy, Golden Valley,
Grand Forks Griggs, Logan, Mcintosh
Mclean, Mercer, Mountrail, Rich
land, Sheridan, Sioux and Walsh.
The compilation shows net de-
crease in the amount Of the state
lcvics in the counties over last year
Of 1917 percent, county lcvies, ll.49
percent and township levics 4.3l per-
cent. Increases in percentage Of
school levies was 2.55 and of cities
and villages l.29, but the net re-
suit on the basis Of the total amount
of money involved, gave a net de-
crease Of 4.l6 percent.
The school tax constitutes the big
gest factor. The percentage Of tax
es levied for various purposes to the
total taxes levied in the counties
follows: State 1881 percent: coun-
ty 20.62 percent; township 7.l8 per-
cent; school 46.S5 percent; city and
village 1854 percent
The total amount Of the decrease
in the 16 counties in dollars and
cents was $266,333.36.
A great many Of the higher school
levies appear to be the result Of a
low tax base, that is, the assessed
valuation Of the property in many
school districts is not sufficient to
support a school at a reasonable rate
of levy, according to state tax de-
partment officials.
