FALLACY OF STATE
SHOWN
IN NEIGHBOR A
TOwnley Regime Cost Taxpayers
Huge Sum-An Enterprises
Failed.

In 1917 a movement styled the Nom
Partisan league, following a redical
agitation, attained political impor-
lance in the state Of North Dakota.
1t originated with a group ardent in
support Of state control of industry.
It came at a time when social and in
dustrial discomfort was rife and it
quickly found adherents in the north
west
In 1919 this Non-Partisan league
attained political control of North
Dakota. Under the policies and by
the initiation of the league there came
into existence the following institu-
tions:
1. State-owned wheat elevators and
flour mills.
2. A state-Owned Bank of North
Dakota.
8. A system of state-owned news
papers.
A.. A chain of state-Cwned stores.
5. A state-Owned Home Building
association.
6. Al state hail insurance.
~. A s~tate-owned creamery.
What happened?
The state-owned and state admin
istered elevators and flour mills fail
ed in less than a year, with a loss to
the state Of 100000.
! The s~tate-owned bank collapsed,
with a less to depOsitOrs Of more than
4 a million dollars.
The s~tate-owned newspapers, after
continuous losses, either quit business
or went into private ownership.
All the state-Owned stores went
broke.
The state-Owned Home Building as.
ISOLATION failed, with a total loss Of
$4,000.
The state-owned creamery quit
early, with a loss Of $4,000.
In one year under this regime the
bonded indebtedness of North Dakots
increased $17.0OO,0O0. Under thes,
losses taxes were advanced 400 pei
cent
The present State Industrial ON
mission Of North Dakota, commenting
in a recent report upon the experi
ence Of league rule in that state says
There IS not one oasis in the drear

For some reason which does not APP
pear in available records, the prOnun-
citation of the name Of MOntana's
capital city has changed since its Sc
lection in 1854. At that time, piO-
neers recall, the name was prOnOunc-
ed as if it were spelled Helena, with
the accent en- the double-e.
fortunately" says David Hilger,
secretary Of the State Historical So
ciety, "the society is still in posses
sion of the original minutes, written
in pencil, of the mass meetings held
in Last Chance gulch on October 80,
1854, at the cabin of E. J. Wood on
Upper Main street, as well as the
original plat Of the town, also in
pencil, and thereon are noted the
names of the lOcators.
&c. J. Wood was elected chairman Of
the meeting and T. E. Cooper secre-
tary. Considerable discussion took
place and, it finally became apparent
that the ~contenders were divided as
to the names "Toma'' and Helena"
We have in addition to the original
minutes, some 10 or IL letters writ
ten from 10 to 20 years later on the
subject of this meeting and they are
all agreed that john Summerville pro-
posed the name Helena. He is de-
scribed as a grizzled Scotchman abOdt
20 years of age, tall and angular,
spoke fOrcibly and was an educated
and intelligent gentleman.
asked if this name was not after
Helena, Arkansas, he replied that
Helena was named after Helena, Scott
county, Minnesota, the best town and
county in the state of Minnesota.
Here Mr.. Hilger explained that in the
early days the left wing of Prices
army was well represented but the
federals also were strong.
ct is recorded" Mr.. Hilger said
chat the Minnesotans predOminateC
at the meeting and a ballot was taker
which resulted in Helena" winning
by a close margin.
Helena, Mimi, was quite a tow
in 1864, with a postoffice and Sum
merville hailed from this villag,
which is about 20 miles from Hen
derson, Mimi, where / was born an,
from which / emigrated to MOntani
in 1857. That town was pronounce,
Helena, with the long sound Of th0

John H. Shober, our distinguishe

years, and the only living represents

ton Of Cascade county is shown m
the assessment rolls completed Sat
urday by Assessor Harold Mady.
The decrease, representing the diff
ference between s97, SIS ,s56 in 1924
and sss.A9l ,sea this year, was brought
about largely through land clsssifSca-
tions, the total value Of land and i'm
provements this year being s72, ,767,- :
1856. as compared to $75. 100000 in
1924.
Cascade county also lost through
recent decision Of the supreme eourf
holding that government bonds held
by banks as surplus are tax exempt,
while IN former years such securities
were listed and assessed as earnings
and surplus.
The principal reduction howevmr, d
noted in nOn-irrigabsd and gra1ing

dropped from eess3e, ,68s in 1924 70

lands from s14,eo7, ,0l2 10 e12, ass, ,ol2.
The workings Of the land classifiom-
tiOn law. Mr. Mady explained Satur-
day, are directly responsible for these
drops. Though the measure was pas
aed by the 1921 Legislature II was not
put into full effect until this year,
the intervening years having been de-
voted to definetiy and permanently de
termining the percentage valae Of ae-

duced.
Numerous inequalities have beeas
eliminated and scores OF controversies

In the future the annual work Of ehe

NAVAL RESERVES.

Consid era BILE disa ppointment is
manifest among officers and men of
the Naval Reserve of the District of
Columbia who had planned to take
the Suiy and August cruises. because
of the fact that the destroyer Toucey,
which has been assigned here from
the scouting fleet, will not make a
foreign port.
Early in the Winter, it was pointed
out, cruises were arranged to Hall
fax, and officers and men were in
structed to make arrangements TO go
on specific dates. but these have just
been changed and the Toucey, of Di-
vision %, will pick up the reservists
here during July and August, take
them to Newport, r. l., where they
will join reservists on other destroy
ers of the division, and the entire
outfit taken out TO sea for squadron
maneuvers and training. Instead of
going to Halifax, they will be taken
to Bath, Me, for liberty.
This upsetting of plans. 1t was
pointed out by those familiar with
reserve activities, Is just another evi-
dence OF the Navy Departments lack
of consideration of the fact that these
officers and men are engaged in civil
ian pursuits and cannot jump off on
a cruise like an officer and man in
the regular service being ordered to
such duty. The practice of assigning
ships from the regular feet is unsatis
factory, II was said, because after
plans are made, reservists never can
feel sure until the last minute that
the department will not take the ship
and send 1t on some other duty.
Several changes are being made in
the officer personnel of the Toucey.
preparatory to her coming here to
take out the District reservists.
Comdr. William G. ]. Stiles, who has
been on duty in the Division of Fleet
Training at the Nevy Department,
here, has been detached from that
Toucey. relieving Lieut.. Comdr G.
Gulbranson. Lieut.. junior grade. NJ.
I. Black and Ensign C. l.. Atkinson,
jr.. also have been relieved from duty
aboard this destroyer.
1t is planned to send enough mem
bers Of the regular complement ashore
