According to bulletin just received
by Alfred L. Nielsen, Askov butter
maker, district No. 2 of the Land
OLakes organization, has won in the
annual operators efficiency contest by
a small margin over the nearest COM
petitOr, district No. II in the Red
River valley. This years victory will
make the fifth in succession, this dis
trict having won two permanent cups
and will need only one more year to
win the third.
Operators of the entire Land OLakes
organization divided into "a districts
compete each year in the contest and
it is a signal honor to win and espec-
tally to win for five successive years.
Closer competition featured the con-
test this year and only very small
fraction of a per cent separated the
the next highest.
Pine county's buttermakers as a
rule rank high in the contest and this
year was no exception. Alfred l.. Mel
sen of Askov made a good average OF
1882 per cent for the year

ports that during December, 1881,
there were received 1924 postal
money orders from persons in the
United States, representing 1,947,77O
Swedish kronor; it is taken for
granted that by far the largest pOr-
tion of this money was intended to
serve as Christmas presents. Not
without interest is the fact that in
December, 1880, the number of Amer
ican money orders was larger, viz,
37,S25, but their total amount less
than in 1880, namely, 1,76O.529 kronor.

FAVORS MORATORIUM
Bismarck, N. OAK,
October %, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:

OCCOpcI 20, 1907.
Editor, Tribune:
have noted that your paper op-
poses the three-year moratorium on
the grounds that such a law would
impair the credit of the state. It Is
not clear to many of your readers
how this would be possible.
In the opinion of many people,
with whom I have discussed this is
sue, the credit standing of any state
is dependent upon the ability and
willingness of it's taxpayers to pay
taxes for the retirement of bonded
Indebtedness. Practically everyone
comedies that the present inability
of many of our citizens to pay taxes
is due to the fact that crops are be-
ing marketed below the cost of pro-
duction, and not to many unwilling
ness to pay. Thus. it necessarily fol-
lows. the credit standing of our state
is already impaired and can be re-
stored only when our basic commod-
tiles are again selling above the cost
of production. Consequ n tly, a
moratorium to benefit those who are
unable to pay debts or taxes can have
no effect whatsoever on the state S
credit.
Should a substantial rise in farm
commodity prices occur the states
credit would be quickly restored. and
the moratorium would be inopera-
tive as it affects only those who are
unable to pay without sacrificing
his home. lands, farm chattels or
sacrificing his goods or chattels with
which he creates wealth for a living
or which are necessary to maintain
his family"
Very cordially yours.
ARTHUR S. ANDERSON.

Editors Note: The Tribune op-
poses the moratorium because it
feels such action would only ex-
tend and perpetuate the troubles
of agriculture. The real remedy
lies in increasing the farmers in
come and in decreasing his taxes
so he will be able to keep more
of what he gets. In our judg-
ment, a moratorium means only
delay in making the adjustments
which are necessary to sound
recovery. Besides. the people al
ready have rejected such pro-
posal.

I am quoted as favoring the reten-

This is an error under present con-
ditions. have great respect for Mr..
Putnam and believe he has made an
efficient officer and if the office
should be continued he should be
continued in charge. While I have
not the official figures, I have no
doubt we have expended more than
$4,000 on this one office alone. I
feel sure we have not received re-
turns from this investment. Under
the present financial condition of our
farmers believe this office should
be discontinued. I am aware that
this tax is not large of itself but add
ed to our other high taxes it makes
more of burden than we are able
to bear. feel sure that the farm
tax of Burleigh county is from / to
3 years past due and unpaid.
Ehere are expenses other than
county agent that need attention.
Under present conditions all state
and county officers salaries should
be reduced one-fourth and be no
hardship on those holding office.

interest.
