more and more crops, if it is to bene-
fit from the improvements made in
the district, then, it should bear it's
just share of taxation and pay it
directly to the county in which the
land is situated, so each district will
get its share.
There have been knottier problems
than this solved satisfactorily and
there must be same method of solv-
ing this one, but just TO sit still and
complain of high taxes is getting US
nowhere. All the time those taxes
r getting higher because more and
more land is being taken over by
the state.
One method would be the paying
of one-half the rental received d.
rectly into the Golfers of the coun-
ties in which the various parcels Of
land are located. The remaining
half could be retained by the state.
Otherwise, it looks as though the
time may soon come when state land
will form the biggest obstacle n
district has to contend with. 1t has
already begun to assume that po-
sition.

Oleopargarine or, as it is COM
monty called. "ole," is getting his
these days. Being neither fish. flesh
nor fowl, some folks think he should
be taken off the bill-of-farc alto
gether, to make way for the genuine
article. Others feel just as strongly
that "ole" is serving his country in
a just cause, inasnuch as he sup
plies cheap food to those who can
not afford butter.
Now, we think very few would eat
"ole" on their bread, unless there
were a mighty strong reason-and
this can be found in the pocketbook.
To some folks, it is "ole" or nothing.
A piece of dry bread is a tasteless
thing, so we mustn't blame the poor
for buying butter substitute.
We must remember another thing.
1t has not been SO many moons ago,
when butter was selling for GO cents
and more per pound. This was alto
gether out of reason and there is
where "ole" got in his dirty work,
because those wiser than we tell us
that farmers sold their cream and
brought "ole" home to eat on the
table.
That was nobody's business right
then, but when the bottom dropped
right out of the butter market a
squeal went up that would have
reused yer a sleepy congress down
in Washington.
Something had to be done-and
"ole" was the bad boy. Punish him
and do it quickly, else the COW would
follow the dodo and the cocoanut tree
would take her place on the map.
So our lawmakers, ever willing to
oblige, get up a bill banishing "ole"
and his tribe from the land. He is
an alien and a racketeer, not fit to
be seen in any of our homes.
1t is to laugh

III VI III AIIOuICs
In a recent article published in a
well known newspaper, the state

cents per gallon on every gallon of
gasoline sold would pay all taxes.

If that is the truth.
But ] fear it would prove a sad
undertaking. In other words, it
couldn't be done.
VIZ arc gradually reaching the
ten-cent mark and in years to come
may even overreach it. A cent added
here, a half cent there, will soon
reach that figure. And as we raise
the gas tax, our expenses climb &C.
cordingly.
Millions, billions!" We hear the
words every day. We have ceased
to think in dollars and cents. The
minds of our forefathers could
scarcely grasp the huge significance
of the sums that roll off u tongues
nowadays.
Just the thought Of such indebted
ness that we take as a matter of
course would cause them to lift their
hands in horror.
We owe much to our ancestors be-
cause they feared debt. The debt
the past generation left their chill
dren was nothing compared with the
huge sums we are piling up for pos
terity to pay.
And pay they must. Either in
blood and fire or, if they escape that,
by the sweat of their brow.
Sometimes | think our forefathers
had the right idea, that to pay as
we 60 is u one best salvation.
Buying on time has its advantages
and also its disadvantages. For one
thing, we n prone to buy more than
If we paid for things as we 20 along.
The gas tax is probably needed for
good roads. But, when we hear men
prating Of this and that, we must
remember that state is still
young and should make haste &C.
c~ordingly.
We must also remember that ours
is largely ar agricultural state and
that we must depend upon. the pros
perity of the agricultural element of
the state for prosperity.
We must also remember that the
automobile has largely taken the
place of the horse on the farm for
most purposes.
If we boost the gasoline tax it
simply G the farmer must pay
more for using his car or truck. It
costs him that much more to haul
his produce to market. Is he bene-
fitting accordingly? The citizens of
North Dakota amply proved their
ideas on increased gas taxes last
year. For the legislature to 20
against their wishes would hardly Be
good craftsmanship"

Old Rover and his tribe are going
to get theirs after many, many
moons, if the bill licensing dogs is
adopted.
To one on the outside looking in,
this would seem to be a piece Of
legislation penalizing the owner of
one kind of livestock for the benefit
of the other.
There r good dogs and, sorry to
say, also some mighty bad ones.
Dogs are just like people, good, bad
and Indifferent.
Man has had a warm spot in his
heart for the dog since cave days,
while the constant "Ba-ba-ing" of a
sheep give lots Of US the "willies."
Yet, no one can deny the sheep is
a useful animal, while the dog is
morc On the companiable order. We
leave Rover in the house on cold
winter nights, and look or him as
a member of our family, and right
nobly has he rewarded III faith in
him.
Now, that the heavy ak Of taxa
ton is threatening his head, Rover
is an object Of pity; for many a dog
is owned by a fellow, big or little,
who will not be able to scratch up
the necessary license money, and
Rover will become the victim of the
dog-catcher. And all this, because
some Of Rover's bad tribe have be-
come murderers Of the woolly tribe.
~Old-time cattle men will tell you
that the sheep drove cattle from the
country; it now appears as if they
will drive away the dogs as well.
And all this, when nine out of ten
sheep owners trust their flock to the
watchful guardianship of a faithful
enemy" But, life is funny that
way.

Strength. at Liverpool and
in Securities Help
Wheat.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-with in
creasing steadiness in the Liverpool
market, and optimistic stock mar
ket signs in the United States, al
months in wheat showed fractional
gains at the Board of Trade open
ing today.
Corn was unchanged to fraction
ally higher with the exception OF
September, which had not recov-
cred from Tuesdays liquidation, and
was of in the fractions. Oats, in
sympathy with the strength OF
wheat, was up.
Wheat Opens Higher
At the opening wheat was 4 to
7s cent higher, corn was q cent
lower to Il cent higher and oats up
Il to q cent. Provisions were weak
to lower.
The steadiness of wheat in the
face of liquidation in corn and the
spreading operations both here and
at Winnipeg, was due to the pros
pect for steadineSS in the stock
market, and the Board of Trade
expected to show strength in wheat
at the opening today. No foreign
export in the major grain is looked
forward to for some time, but. the
prospect for increasing strength in
wheat was based on the bullish tone
of the Liverpool market, which
opened higher.
Cash Corn Strong
The firmness in cash gave strength
| to corn despite the heavy liquida-
ton in September Tuesday. The
deferred months recovered before
Tuesdays close, and traders in this
pit were optimistic over the pre-
dictions in wheat. Deliveries on
September corn Tuesday were
$4,000 bushels.
September oats was weak on the
liquidation Tuesday, but other
months retained strength on the
strong cash demand in that grain
