UNUSUAL ACCIDENT About 10 o'clock last Saturday evening Lyman Brokaw, who lives a few miles north of town, was driving rapidiy up First avenue west and in front of the new Monroe home at tempted to drive between two red lights in the street that marked the excavaion for sewer connections on the Monroe property. The faithful horse charged over the pile of loose earth and plunged, head first into the "trench" which extended part way across the street in an oblique angle. The excavation was probably nine feet deep and so narrow that the horse wedged in and did not go clear down until an attempt was made by several men to assist it out, but its struggles resulted in the animal dropping to the bottom of the pit and a few minutes later it regained its feet and patiently awaited further developments. It was but a few minutes' work to "ease off" the end of the excavation and fill in a little earth and the horse climbed out, and did not appear to be seriously in jured by the unusual experience.

Burleigh F. Spalding, Fargo, N. Dak. into an automobile at the railroad crossing, shortly before 9 o'clock. The dead: Mrs. E. B. Harris, Mrs. Harry Gargrave. The injured: Miss Meda Anderson, George Wright, Curtis Wright, driver. His view of the track obstructed by a line of elevators, Wright drove onto the track ahead of the swiftly moving limited. He had almost cleared the rails with his panic striken car of passengers, when the locomotive hit the rear of the automobile. In the crash, the automobile was re duced to kindling, and the two women who were killed, met instant death. Their bodies were badly cut up. The wounded were hurled to one side of the track, and all were cut up quite badly, but they will recover. Both the women who were killed were widows. AN EXCHANCE SAYS: A neighboring paper commented upon the resignation of a certain young lady school teacher with many kind words for "the excellent reputa tion for teaching she bears." When last seen the editor was doing a mile a minute clip, just two jumps ahead of the irate young lady, who scream ingly informed him that she had never taught a she bear in her life and if she ever caught him she'd teach him something about writing news. BURDICK SETS FORTH VIEWS ON TAX MATTERS, AS RELATED TO STATE (By U. L. Burdick) Speakers and newspapers who are supporting the Nonpartisan league make a strong point of the tax bur den in the present campaign. They say that if they win the governorship ana legislature they will cut down the taixes of the people. There is nothing that appeals so much to the voters of North Dakota as any plan which pro poses to reduce the taxes of the state, and I do not wonder that thousands of farmers have agreed support the league program for this very reason, but let us analyze the situation as it is today and see what the league's gov ernor and legislature can do that will materially lower the tax burden of the people of North Dakota. The tax levy for all purposes for 1915-was $15,860,132. Of this amount only $1,611,639 was used for state purposes,' leaving therefore $13,248, 493, which was used up in local units of government. This means, in other words that out of every $50 which a farmer pays in taxes only $3.33 is used up in the support of the state government. We will suppose that the Nonpartisan league, through their governor and legislature, could cut down the state expense 20 per cent, which is more than I think they can do, that would make a saving to every farmer who pays $50 taxes of only 60 cents. From these figures it will readily be seen that the expenditure of our taxes is almost wholly con trolled by local units of govern ment. The township, school district and the county, vilages and cities are the places to practice economy and sav ing in expenditure of tax money. This does not mean that I do not believe in economy in management of the state, on the contrary I believe the strictest economy should be practiced, but the great saving to the farmers and oher tax payers of the state will come in a more economical manage ment of the local units of government. While township offices and the office of county commissioners and school directors see nonsignificant on their face, yet in my opinion they are the most important offices in the state, and economy in these departments mean more to the people of North Da kota in tax saving than does the economy in any other department of our government. I believe our burden of taxes is S00 And it Costs no More-^I«i Factin Most Cases a Trifle Less Than Elsewhere '•-J s.

The Beat on the Market TELEPHONE 243 WILLISTON, N. D. Pan Hn heavy in the state, but not nearly aa neat as in nearly every other state inr the union. We expended in North Da kota for school purposes a greater proportion of Mr tans than any oth er state in the union, and that speaks volumes for the future welfare of this state. The evil of our tax system to day rests with the fact that those who are most able to pay taxes are not aving their share. If a man has $1, invested in horses or cattle there is no chance for him to escape taxa tion, but if he has $1,000 in cash in the banks he is very apt to escape taxation altogether. In 1914, there was9, over $100,000,000 in bank deposits of this state and over $99,000,000 of that escaped taxation altogether. Through the work of the tax commissioner the invisible property is being brought to light, and taxed in the state, and' further support of the commission) will do much to lower the tax bur- den. The. rule is that everyone should pay taxes according to his ability to pay, and to ascertain and find out that ability has been the work of our tax commissioner. A DAY OF RAIN There's somethin' in a day of rain Gits a feller's feelin's so A somethin's that I can't explain, And ketches him and won't let go. My old corn planter clicked and sung Down that last row and put her in, Then humped itself like two and swung Up through the lane and home again. I turned the hosses to their hay And flung 'em down a little grainr And, loafin' in the shed this way, I kinda like to watch the rain. There's pictures in it, driftin' slow Up through the orchard plot tome Of truant days I used to know, And days of dear old Used to Be. And promises of crops and things, Fer when the rain fails down to sink Into the thirsty loan and sings As though to call the corn to drink, A feller's got to just admit, With all nis labor and expense Of plantin' corn and tendin' it, He's still in debt to Providence. And when the last row's in the done" Just what the Lord sends is my choice, Or soakin' rain or burnin' sun, 111 hump my back and still rejoice.'* But when it's rain like this today, With pictures in the atmosphere, I want to jest git down and pray.... And thank the Lord because' I'm here. —Jay B. Iden, in Kansas City Stan- la What You Want Is What we Give—.
