Reware of False Prophets

Beware of False Prophets
Now is the time when the political
parties, oratorically speaking, will
come to the aid of the farmers. In
national and state affairs, there will
be many advocates on the hastings
seeking to 'save the farmer" and
hoodwink him into supporting their
clique or faction for political prefer
ment.
Probably no class in our social
structure has been so callously lied
to as the farmers. None has received
50 many promises before election and
oeen so completely forgotten after the
votes were counted.
Now is the time for them to watch
for false prophets who come to them
in sleeps clothing.
Not so many months ago Melvin
rraylor, a prominent Chicago banker,
speaking of the farm problem. said
II hope I may be pardoned If
claim a personal acquaintance with
the life on the farm and the prob
lens of the farmer. In my opinion
no division of human society has ever
been lied to and lied about as much
in the same period of time, as has
the American farmer in the last 10
years. He has been the victim OF
more false economic and political in
formation, with its constant destruc-
ion of public confidence in everything
ne is and represents, than has any
other element in our social structure.

Railroad Taxes

II the rest of us feel that the tax
burden weighs heavily upon us we
!, should have sympathetic interest
in the plight Of the railroads. The
federal courts now have before them
a complaint by the 500 Line railroad
against North Dakota taxes on rail-
road property. The 80 odd counties
through which that utility operates
were glad to accept payment of rs
per cent Of the amount assessed and
let the question Of whether or not
the remainder shall be paid be decid-
ed by the courts.
The Northern Pacific railroad,
which also operates in this county,
met it's taxes when due. Just how
important this fact was to this and
other counties is demonstrated in a
statement sent out by that railroad.
In 1881 the Northern Pacific paid
in state taxes sl96,146.65 or enough
to pay the salaries of IS state officers
at $4,000 year each. To county
taxes for sinking fund purposes it
paid SAC, 489.07. or enough to pay the
interest on $774,8l7 at six per cent.
For road and bridge purposes it
paid to counties and townships $216,-
32O.70, which is equal to a three cent
tax on 7,227,356 gallons Of gasoline
School taxes paid by the railroad to-
tailed $712,197.l3, enough to pay for
a years schooling for 1909 pupils at
SOL 20 each.
The Importance of these payments
may be realized when it is pointed
out that the total is more than five
times the amount received by the
state in 1881 from its income tax.
When it is further considered that
prompt payment of railroad taxes
has been boon to many political
subdivisions which have experienced
trouble in collecting taxes from other
sources at normal rate, the import
ance of the collections is further
emphasized.
With these figures in mind it is
easy to understand why railroads are
vitality interested in the tax ques-
ton. No one studies it with greater
care than they for they pay a con-
siderable share of the bill.
In these times, when railroad traf-
fic has shrunk and revenues are re-
duced, the carriers are using the
amount OF taxes paid as one of the
principal arguments why the public
should give them patronage. They
contend they must have business ii
they are to remain in business and if
they go out Of business they will quit
paying taxes.
The argument is one which every
taxpayer can understand. 1t is worth
serious attention.

BUFFALO SURVIVE \ SEVERE WINTER IN
 INTERIOR ALASKA

Concern in the fate of the buff falo herd left to graze on the tun- ra-covered plateauS of interior AL aska during the unusually hard winter just elapsing was partially dispelled when 13 of the animals were sighted a few days ago near Beale's Cache at mile 262 on the Richardson Highway.
 Two calves were among the anil malls.
 It is belived that the remainder of the herd was not far away.
 The report of sighting the herd was disclosed here by Louis Mat tern, who with Andy Bergeson and Herman Swartzloff, travelling com panions recently hiked over the highway from Chitina to Fairbanks.
 A buffalo bull barred their path as they approached the herd and for time threatened to charge them. After considerable shouting to prevail upon him to turn away the animal stepped aside in an ug- ly mood.
 The 13 buffalo are a part of the herd shipped to Alaska from Montana and released in the Dry Delta district near McCarty at Mile 269 on the highway early in July, 1928.
 Four of the group were retained at the Alaska College at Fairbanks for observation of their climatic reaction. Some months later the animals were freed in the same re- zion and joined the herd.
Seward daily gateway., 1932-05-26

The climate in the Delta region is mild compared with other regions of the interior of Alaska. In the early days the Northern Commer- cial Company wintered their hors- es there with great success. Under the most adverse conditions the snow fall is light and animals are able to forage during the winter months. The climate there is sim liar to that to which they were accustomed in the states with the added advantage of roaming with out hindrance.
 Experts now believe it is likely that this herd will develop into the largest on the North American con- tinent.
 The animals were given to the Territory without charge by the U. s. Biological Survey as admin istrator of the national bison range. Funds for feeding and trans porting the animals from Monta- na to Alaska were provided by an appropriation made by the 1927 Territorial legislature.
 The stocking of certain areas with buffalo comprises a portion of the Alaska Game Commissions stocking program on carefully se- lected ranges where the animals may thrive in unlimited habitats in northern districts where wealth CT conditions are unusually favor able.
