WANT TAX REDUCTION

nd1 yidIlu SIduSeTS, ike
those of Delaware, are insist.
ent that the counties cut theil
outlay during the present de-
pressing period, and they de-
mand a drop in taxes and the
adoption of other economies.
Reduction of salaries of coun-
ty officials is one Of the angles
of attack, and a cut in the
number of teachers on the
payroll of country schools is
also suggested as a means of
Tightening the burdens. Farm
ers are notifying county offic-
ials in advance that unless the
taxes are greatly lowered
many of them will be compell-
ed to default.
County officials, thus far,
have declared that the ex-
penses cannot be cut this year
but that it will require expert
financiering to "carry on" un-
der the present tax rate for
the reason that a Shrinkage
of values on assessable prop
critics has curtailed the reven-
ues materially.
One thing that stood in the
way of economic reform was
noted as the cost of the Presi-
dental election which will re
quire an outlay of almost
$4,000 in some of the rural
counties.
Shortening the school term
and cutting the pay of teach
ers seems to be one of the
means most sought in some
country districts in an effort
to reduce expenses, but the
farmers contend that resort
to such means is justifiable at
a time when their homes and
land are threatened by the
sheriff and in imminent dang
er of passing out of their
hands.
The curtailment of the wag-
es of county officials also
seems to be a favored point
at which the economic moves
are directed, and doubtless al
most all counties in the Shore
country (and elsewhereJ are
overmanned by a staff that is
overpaid, but it will be most
difficult to reform this partic-
ular i'll, for incumbents have
required strong political pull,
for the most part, to make
the rifle" and that same in
fluence is sure to enable them
to hold their jobs and unim-
paired pay while they con-
tinue to 60 along with their
partisan sponsors. So long as
public office is regarded as be-
ing primarily to benefit in
cumbents - either in the
Shore or eIsewhere-the ad-
ministration of county gov
ernment will cost taxpayers
many times more than it is
worth.-Every Evening.

SESSIONS CLOSE
TO END CONFLICTS
ON MANY QUESTIONS
Seven Months of Activity Re-
corded Numerous Battles
and Achievements

Washington, July 16-(P)-CongresS
swept Saturday to the adjournment
point. leaving behind an historic
record Of achievement and conflict.
Chroniclers doubtless will set down
the more than seven months session
the longest in 10 years-as a cru
cial one in the country's development
Its problems from the beginning
last December we're as grave as
any that ever confronted the federal
legislative branch except possibly in
war times.
During the early months politics
were minimized. Written on the sta
tute books then were laws to post
pone for a year the $270,000, 900 debt
payments owed the U. S. by foreign
nations; to create the huge recon-
struction finance corporation; liber-
alize banking restrictions; levy ST.
118.50O,000 in new taxes; give federal
aid to the needy and abolish lame
duck" sessions.
Then economy legislation to bal
ance the budget became pressing. The
house launched a $25O,OOO 900 bill
winch was cut to less than half that
sum before it passed. The political
storm broke, President Hoover cri-
itching congress for being unwilling
to make bigger savings and Demo-
Gratis retorting his cabinet members
and appointees were responsible.
Along about this time, the Demo-
Gratis laid one spring board for the
November campaign. They squeezed
through congress a tariff bill which
the president quickly vetoed. Short
ly thereafter, Speaker Garner, not
yet the Democratic vice presidential
nominee, launched his $4,000. 100000
relief bill.
That went through congress de-
spite presidential assertions it was
pork barrel and answers that it was
bread basket" Another veto
stopped this bill, and congress was
forced to draft the second.

CARLOAD|NCS CUT
SEEN FOR QUARTER
Reduction of 1913 Per Cent
Forecast; Wheat Loadings
to Be TrebIed

Carloadings of % principal COM
modities in the northwest states dur
ing the third quarter of 1882 will be
1913 per cent lower than for the same
period last year, it is forecast by the
regional shippers advisory board.
The estimate is based on quarterly
freight car requirements as an
nounced by the car service division
Of the American Railway association.
A I'll per cent decrease in carload
ings is predicted for the entire coun-
try.
1t is estimated grain carloadings in
the northwest this year will be in
creased 1874 per cent, from 1887 cars
to $4,000 cars. Other estimated in
creases include: fresh fruits 35.7 per
cent; potatoes 27.4; livestock 1922;
poultry and dairy products 80; agri-
cultural implements and vehicles
(other than automobilesO IA, and
automobiles, trucks and parts SO per
cent.
Decreases in loadings for all other
commodities listed are forecast.

last month than for the same period
. year ago.
Country check clearings were 26 per
cent below the index for June last
year. Bank debts were 81 per cent
smaller.
Bank debts and country check
clearings were affected to an indeter-
inmate degree during the last few
days Of June by the change in BUSH
ness practices arising from the fed
eral tax on checks.
Decreases as compared with last
years records also occurred in elec-
trio power consumption. building per-
mits and contracts, flour shipments,
linseed products shipments, copper
and iron ore output, grain market
ings, and department store sales.
Farmers cash income from seven
important items was AZ per cent
smaller in June than in the same
month last year. The price Of hogs
at South st. Paul increased from $2.9e
to $50 during recent weeks, but at
the latter price, hogs were cheaper
than a year ago. All other impor-
tant farm product prices were lower
in June than a year ago.

'REPT|LLAN VISITOR
IDENTIFIED AS BOA
Doty and Red Establish Fact
With Aid Of Descriptive
Book on Subject

The snake which scared the life
out of" Merton j. Orr. manager OF
the Gamble Robinson company, be-
fore it was charmed by w. E. Doty
manager of the Russell
company, last Wednesday, has been
identified as West Indian boa con-
Strictor.
The Identification was made by
Doty and Russell Reid. superintend-
ent of the state historical society.
with the aid of a descriptive volume
on reptiles.
A photograph of a West Indian boa
corresponds very closely with Bis
marck's newest reptilian visitor.
Since its tanning by Doty, the snake
has reposed in a cage at the office
of the Bridgeman-Russell company.
So far the snake has not eaten.
In another cage at the office, Doty
has a North Dakota bull snake. which
was captured by a farmer near Fort
Lincoln. Doty said that when the two
were placed together, with only a
screen between them, the bull snake
appeared eager to fight the West IN
dian, but that the boa, apparently not
in a good frame of mind because of
the strange climate, was listless.
West Indian boa constructors. for
the most part, are confined to the ST..
Lucia and Dominica islands, the vol
ume said. though they often are
transported to other places after hid
ing in cargoes. They grow to a length
of eight feet. The snake here is be-
lieved to be a young one, since it is
only 40 inches long.
At first Doty, who has made a study
of reptiles, thought the boa was a
python, which also is constructor but
which grows much larger.
The West Indian boa is not poison
Gus, depending upon construction for
protection or conquest.
Doty Saturday was considering
presenting the boa to the Minot city
ZOO. believing that it would not live
long without proper care.
The snake arrived here coiled
around a bunch of bananas consigned
to the Gamble Robinson company.

CATTLE CONDITION
IS ABOVE AVERAGE
Ranges Also Are in Good Shape,
Federal Agricultural Sta
tistician Says

Ranges and cattle in western
North Dakota were in above-average
condition July /, according to re-
port of the federal agricultural sta
tistician at Fargo.
! Weather during June was favor
able for livestock. Temperatures re-
manned cool on all except few scat
tered days of the month, and rain
! fall in all except the eastern third
of the state was normal or above.
Range grass has developed rapidly
and is affording excellent grazing to
cattle and sheep. Pasture condition
indicates good feed prospects for
cattle outside of the range area, and
livestock are responding by showing
material gain in condition.
Both the lamb and the calf crop
are somewhat smaller than last year
due to the weakened condition OF
ewes and COWS occasioned by short
feed supplies. this spring. However,
losses to young stock averaged less
than usual, although among early
lambs and calves death losses un-
doubtedly exceeded the normal num-
Der.
Late summer and fall feed pros
poets present favoraI lie outlook at
this time. The suppl of moisture
during June in the range area has
been we'll above normal, insuring a
heavy growth of forage and adding to
the prospective hay supply. Condi-
ton of both wild and tame hay is
well above average for this time of
year.
Cattle in this state are in much
better flesh than a month ago and
are in average condition. Sheep also
have made good gains in condition,
but not sufficient to bring them up to
the five-year average.
