toward the type Of cattle which
will produce them. People do
not eat the enormous meats

Washington, Dec. 23.-(P)-The fed
eral government demanded the lit

the remaining big hoarders Friday in
a drastic tightening Of its gold mob
i!ization policy.
In my judgment such action is
necessary to protect the currency sys-
tenn Of the United States" Acting
Secretary Morgenthau said in an
order designed to bring into the
treasury most Of the monetary gold
outside federal reserve banks and the
reconstruction corporation.
The new treasury command was in
terpreted as having two major aims:
it eliminated the 500 exemption
allowed holders of gold and gold GER
ti.icates by President Roosevelt's pre-
yious proclamation and it sought to
close legal loopholes whereby large
hoarders might seek to eyade the
policy in the courts.
While the treasury declined to say
SO officially. recent New York fed
eral court ruling that Roosevelts
original withdrawing order should
have been issued by the head of the
treasury was considered a major fac
tor in prompting the new command.
No immediate estimates were avail

Out Of General Taxation

CITY EXPENSES ARE LOWER

Will Bring in Are Not
Computed Yet
CITY EXPENSES ARE LOWER

Fifty out Of Burleigh county,s s6
political subdivisions have higher
rates Of taxation for 1888 than for
1882, according to levies made by
County Auditor Clair q. Derby. but
reductions In valuations for taxation
purposes nearly offset the millaee in
CreaSeS.
Besides the reduction in valuations
an important factor in the increase of
tax rates was the necessity Of making
levy Of 1.21 mills throughout the
county for establishment Of a special
county poor fund to take care of needy
persons and families.
Besides q reduction in valuations
made by the state equalization board
on various types of property, furth-
er reduction was made by measure
passed by the last legislature which
takes properties Of power companies
out Of general taxation in view Of q
l2-per-cent tax on gross income.
The county valuation for taxation
purposes this year is only $12,444 665,
compared to $13,642,777 last year. The
city valuation is $5,088, 708, compared
to $3.50, 8l5 last year.

Aid Are Factors

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 29.-"North Da-
kota has emerged from the worst
stages of the depression. It is poised
for further positive steps forward. No
combination Of factors or circum-
stances, ever before experienced, could
reduce business and agriculture rev.

penury, without sacrificing its major
tool for grinding out agricultural earn
ings. livestock on farms. Herds have

national consciousness of the agricul-

Queer that the nations best brains are

projects Of tremendous value to agri-
culture in this state loom: The Mis-
tnuri River diversion almost certain

government Is expected to finance an
effective grasshopper control CAM

mate this menace to orderly produc-

that winter, and not spring wheat, is
the greatest offender in SURPRISES,
