STATE INCOME
TAXES TOTAL
OYER 100000
Only $137,O25.84 of Total Tax
Assessed This Year Re.
main Unpaid

State income taxes to be paid this
year by North Dakota citizens will
total in excess Of 100000. an csti-
mate by the state tax commissioners
office shows.
The present tax liability or the
amount to be paid on the basis of re-
turns already received is $533,542.91.
Since farmers elevators and certain
other business corporations make
their income tax returns on the basis
of the fiscal year ending June 80, it
is considered possible that another
100000 may be listed for collection
before the end Of the year.
OF the income taxes assessed this
year only $l37,O25.84 remain unpaid.
The department has $l43.9l in cash,
$65.570.52 in the Bank of North Da-
kota and $334.OOO deposits with the

gruous places.
Even concrete buildings were crush
ed as If they had been paper. A
shell store Of galvanized iron was
ripped up the sides in q hundred
places, as ii with . giant knife, with
its shells exposed. In many places
fires passed over the scene and re-
duced the wreckage to smouldering,
indistinct mass.
The extent of damage to civilian
property was uncertain today, but
army observers were certain that it
would exceed $1,000, 900 900.
The mill village. Of Mount Hope.
near the depot, was virtually destroy
ed. The town Of Rockaway, two miles
away, was ordered evacuated. Nearly
every house was ruined in the village
of Hibernia, which had a population
Of 600.
Ten towns in Bergen, Morris and
Passaic counties reported damage
ranging from shattered houses to
broken windows.
Other Towns Affected
At Glcnkilde Lake, near Blooming
dale, N. J., 16 miles from Loke Dem
mark, bathers say the explosion caus-
ed the water to rise four feet and
there. was a rain of black powder.
Yesterday u l16-inch she'll fell in
Bloomingdale. At Butler, % miles
away, pieces Of debris were found.
Splinters of wood 10 inches long were
found in Oakland, 80 miles from Lake
Denmark.
The whole region shaken by the cx-
plosion is favorite vacation and
weekend territory for New York
folk. Lake Denmark itself is a sum
mer resort. There was heavy motor
traffic when the disaster occurred
and vacation throngs fled from the
scene.
Objection is being voiced in New
Jersey against the storage of cxplo-
sives within the state. Senator Edge
thinks that peace time storage Of
explosives near centcrs Of popula-
ton is an Outrageous and criminal
practice"
On the other hand Governor Moore
says he has no desire to criticize the

CREAM RATES
: T0BE ARGUED
BEFORE
Hendricks of Rail Board and
Durrant of Grand Forks
! TO Participate

+. NJ. Hendricks, traffic expert for
the North Dakota railroad board, and
r. a. Durrant, traffic expert for the
Grand Forks commercial club, will
leave tonight for Washington to take
part in the oral argument on milk and
cream freight rates to be held before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
July Is. Hendricks will represent the

sent number Of large dairy firms in

lcntly opposed to the proposal b. the
railroads to raise the rates.
Other large crcnmerics in the state
will be represented By men from
other states, usually by traffic ex-
pcrts from the home office OF the lar
ger corporations.
Roads Want Higher Rates
e case developed out Of the filing
by the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and 500 line railroads early in
March Of new milk and cream tariffs
to become effective Anril 5. The
new rates would generally increase
the cost of shipping cream between
points in North Dakota and from
North Dakota to Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Montana as we'll as ship
North Dakota.
The rates on North Dakota intra-
state traffic were suspended by the
state railroad board which also APP
piled for nm order by the Interstate
omnftrcG. Commission spending the
/ interstate rates.
The petition was granted and evil
dcnce was presented at hearing held
in Minneapolis late in April. At that
time is was shown that the proposed
increase would boost the cost OF
shipping cream n some instances as
much rs 25 cents 1O-gallon can. The
average increase would be about IL
gccnts a lO-gallon can. according to OK
hibits prepared by tho state board.
Hearing in the intrastate rates has
not vet been held but will be SEIZED
uled for Bismarck early in the fall
Pending the decision in each case no
changes will be made in the inter
state on interstate rates ON milk and
cream, Hendricks said today.

new TESTS FOR
ICECREAM ARE
BEING DEVISED
Standards Arrived at BY
North Dakota Chemists May
Be Generally Used

Standards of ice cream manufacture
which may govern the industry
throughout the country may be de-
vised by North Dakota chemists in cx-
periments being carried on in the
laboratory Of the state regulatory de-
partment here.
At the convention Of the Associa-
ton of Agricultural chemists held
several months ago ut Kansas City,
r. o. Baird. head of the state pure
food department, was asked to take
charge Of the work Of devising stand
ards testing for. ice cream.
Work now is going forward with
that aim in mind and it is expected
that the chemists will have something
definite to offer within few weeks.
II the standard as proposed by the
North Dakota men meets with the ap-
prevail Of experts elsewhere. the
method worked out here probably will
be Incorporated in the standard book
Of methods which chemists use.
Tests now being made are intended
to outline the best way, of testing for
gelatin and for total solids which arc
not fats.

OF
DEBT URGED ON
SCHOOL BOARDS
Importance of Having Depre-
citation Fund Stressed BY
School Inspector

The avoidance Of all bonded in
debtedness by the maintainence of a
depreciation fund is the policy which
J. f. Bjorlie, state high school in
spector, advocated at the meeting Of
the Morton County school officers
Friday.
He stressed the Importance Of de-
probation fund for every school
throughout the state and cites the
Barnes county courthouse at Valley
City as an example of the value Of
such q fund. The Barnes county
courthouse is $4,000 structure
which was built entirely from de-
probation fund previously set aside.
Mr.. Bjorlic's main theme was the
advancement Of an economic program
with elimination of all waste. He
advocated the use of budget sys-
TEN for all schools.
Miss Minnie J. Nelson. state su-
perintendent of public instruction
made vigorous attack on the school
transportation law now in effect. She
explained that under the present law
there are two separate rate laws and
separate mileage laws for rural and
consolidated schools. For general
welfare Of students and hctter man
agemcnt of schools. Miss Nelson
sand. the same rate law should be
used for both.
Law Changes Advocated
She also discussed the question Of
high school tuition and advocated a
change in the present law. In speak.
ing on the citizenship aspect of edu-
cation, she advocated the formation
Of good habits in the students early
youth. She urged they be inspired
to read good books, provided good
eacnels and good environment.
4. e. Berg. Of the Mayvillc normal
school staff, stressed the Importance
adequate training for the rural
teacher. He declared the passage OF
the bill in the last session of the
Legislature requiring high schoo,
graduate to have six weeks normal
school training was the biggest step
taken in development of country
schools for many years.
He affirmed that salaries and sta;.-
dards 60 up and down together. "As
our educational standards rise, sc
must the salaries Of the teachers be
increased" he said
Superintendent II. &. Jensen spoke
on school administration. He stress.
cd the need of having the compul.
sorry attendance law rcyamped so a.
to compel all children OF school age
to attend.
He added. however. that despite tho
lax attendance law tho people have
kept their children in schools fairl.
we'll. as indicated BY the u per CEN
