AMENDMENT TO THI CONSTI
TUTION.
The state supreme court of Minne
sota decided yesterday that the wide
open tax amendment was carried by
popular vote in the election in 1906
and was now law. This decision by
the highest courts in the state will be
a big surprise to all sections of the
state and will have an Important bear
ing upon taxation.
It will be remembered that the dis
trict court of St. Louis county held
that the amendment to the constitu
tion had not passed. The matter was
carried to the supreme court and the
decision reversed. Under this decis
ion the state tax commission will now
have authority to impose a gross
earnings tax on iron ore if it sees fit
to do so. This decision will be re
ceived in Duluth and throughout the
range with considerable apprehension,
as it was In this section of the state
that the largest fight was ptft op on
the amendment.
BUT RUMOR IS DENIED—PETI
TION FILED TODAY.
The campaign for mayor of Moor
head was formally opened today with
the filing of a petition in the office
of the city clerk on behalf of the Rev.
Johanes A. N vail, president of the
Northwestern hospital, as candidate
for mayor at the general city election
to be held In Februrary, under the
terms of the city charter.
The petition for Mr. Nyvall was put
in circulation yesterday afternoon and
the required percentage of names was
secured today. It bears just ninety
one names and those who circulated
the paper say that if they had con
tinued very many more signatures
could have been secured. The petition
was filed by John Erickson for Mr.
Nyvall. Quite a number of people
were heard to remark In banks and
places of business that It was very
possible that the reverend nominee
might be given the distinction of be
ing elected executive of Moorhead mi
nus an opponent but administration
men say that can never be.
Sidewalk Decision.
Juuge Baxter, in chambers, at Fer
gus Falls, yesterday, rendered a de
cision in a case brought by the city of
Alexandria to enforce the payment of
a sidewalk tax. The action was
Drought against Geo. G. S. Campbell, &
resident there, for Judgment against
the property on which the tax had been
levied, the tracts in question being
lots 1 and 7 of block 106. The assess
ment against the first lot was 5120 and
against the second $60.30. Mr. Camp
bell resisted payment and asked to
have the taxes cancelled on a number
of grounds, alleging that the council
directed him to build the walk by a
published notice, that he was given
no opportunity for a hearing, that there
was no grade established on the street,
and that the street commissioner rais
ed the grade above the grade of the
old walk, against his protest, thereby
placing his lots below grade, very
much to their detriment. It i« also
claimed that the walk was not laid
in a workmanlike manner. The point
that appears to be emphasized in the
complaint Is that the property owner
was given no opportunity for a hear
ing before the walk was laid, and the
complaint goes on to relate that the
council acted under the provisions of
section 23, chapter 2, laws of 1881, and
that this section is unconstitutional
for the reason that it contains no pro
vision for a hearing before assess
ments are levied. The court holds with
Mr. Campbell and annuls the assess
ment.

IN ADJUSTMENT OF MATTER
CONCERNING SUPPORT OF THE
VAGS IS TO BE MADE IT MU8T
BE COUNCIL ANO COMMISSION
ERS, HE DECLARES,
"Until the My council and the Caaa
county commissioner* reach some
agreement as to how the cost of sup
porting vagrants is to be apportioned,
I shall stick to the declaration made
by me that hereafter no warrants for
the arrest of vags will be Issued
through the state's attorney's office,"
said Deputy State's Attorney W. S.
Stambaugh tils morning.
"It has already been suggested to
me that the city and. county authori
ties get together and adjust the mat
ter equitably. So far es I am concern
ed. however, I can do nothing in the
matter as it does not lie within my
province, but in that of the council
and commissioners. Inasmuch as the
commissioners have unofficially shown
a disposition to relieve the county of
the burden no more vags will be foisted
on the county through this*offlce. All
claims for their board have been al
lowed without a protest up-to-date,
but there have been too many vags
in our hands lately and a halt on the
practice has bean called."
It is believed that should vagrants
become very conspicuous and the city
and county remain deadlocked on
their disposition, the matter may be
brought to the attention of the council
in the near future with a view to in
ducing that body to reach some agree
ment with the commissioners.

ACCORDING TO APPORTIONMENT
MADE DECADE AGO, FARGO IS
SUPPOSED TO PAY LION'S
8HARE OF C08T OF BUILDING
BIG SLOUGH DRAIN.
v: t-
A report fifed yesterday afternoon
with the commissioners of Cass coun
ty by the drainage commission is apt
to precipitate a fight In the courts
when the commissioneerg act on its
recommendations. fn the report is
incorporated a petition asking the
commissioners to issue bonds aggre
gating $23,500 for the payment of
what is known as the big slough
drain. The most startling feature of
the case is that the city must pay
78.0 per cent of the cost of this un
dertaking, according to an apportion
ment made ten years ago, or when the
construction of the waterway was au
thorized. The municipality's share of
the expense, on a 78.9 per cent basis,
is no small sum, $18,541.50, and before
it is paid the city in all probability
will ask to be shown why.
"This is something new on me," said
City Attorney Resser this morning.
"One thing is certain, however, and
that is the apportionment on the face
of it does not look just, and before the
city digs down into its pockets and
pays up we will offer a struggle. What
action we will take, if any, I cannot
say until I have Investigated the m*-
ter thoroughly."
In all other instances, whenever a
drain was built, its cost of construc
tion was borne by the property owners
benefited. In this particular case,
however, the persons benefited pay
only 21.1 per cent of the cost, "^he
items in the bond issue ^commended
are:
Warrants issued, $13,699.49 balance
for excavation, $2,588.93 balance for
bridges, $^8 interest, $6,197.84 attor
ney's fees, $122.07 office expenses,
$443.67 engineering department, $400.
When the city will b^ called upon
to meet this claim will be decided by
the county commissioners at some fu
ture meeting.

Notorious Night Entertainments Cause
Ohio Town to Vote for Lieenaa.
Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 9.—Reports
rec/sived here today from eighteen
Municipal itles, where yesterday an
election was held to decide the ques
tion of the licensed sale of liquor,
show that ten went "dry," and eight
"wet." The prevalence of "keg part
ies" in the eight "wet" towns, it is
said, decided the voters in favor of
licensed saloons. At Williamstown, W.
Va., opposite Marietta, Ohio, the
"drys" were victorious, and Marietta
people joined with the Williamstown
people in celebrating with a street pa
rade and the ringing of church bells.
It had been feared Williamstown
would be a sort of a "wet" backyard
for Marietta, Ohio, a recent dry-made
community.
Advanced styles in Ladies' Suits and
Coats are now displayed at Moody's.

Washington^ Jan. 8.—Mrs. Beverly
Kennon and her grandchildren occupy
an entire block in Georgetown In what
is known as Tudor Place. This was
named in honor of
+hc
Old.
royal house of
England and is now /er a century
The present occupant and owner,
Mrs. Beverly Kennon, was born at
Tudor Place in January, 1815, and
practically all her life has been passed
there. She Is a direct descendant from
Martha Washington by her first hus
band, John Parke Curtis.
Thomas Peter was the builder of
this magnificent American country
place and he built it .of good old
fashibYied bricTk and covered it with
Dairying in North fJakota during the
last few years has been receiving much
more attention than formerly. When
the state was new and the wheat yield
large few farmers gr.ve dairying any
consideration. But since the fertility
of the soil has become reduced by the
continual raising of wheat the farmers
throughout the state are awakening to
the fact that the greatest remuneration
is derived from diversified farming, and
are therefore turning their attention
more directly towards dairying arid
stock raising.
This change is brought about pytly
through necessity yet more through
the knowledge of the fact that the
dairy cow is found to be the most eco
nomical medium by which the roughage
of the farm can be converted directly
into a product fit for human food, thus
giving the largest returns in the short
est time for the capital invested. The
dairy cow can be relied on in times
of prosperity, drowth and financial
panic. The cow will always respond
freely during any season of the year,
in direct proportion to the care given
her. To get the most economical re
turns we must study the individuality
of the cow, the adoption of various
foods to tl?e production of milk, and
the demands of the markets for dairy
products.
There is at the present time a grow
ing sentiment among the best farmers
throughout the state in favor of winter
dairying, because the advantage deriv
ed from the use of roughage grown on
the farm together with roots, potatoes,
pumpkins and grains, all of which are
usually available on the farm. It is a
well known fact that the earliest phase
of agriculture was the raising of
grains. The Drobtem bf the pioneer
was bread.
The land was broken with a view to
the growing'Of wheat and other grains.
The kind of industry requiring the least
expenditure of labor on the part of the
pioneer wag the turning over of the
prairie soil. Under "the conditions
which then prevailed this operation
was comparatively remunerative. But
we are told that man shall not live by
bread alone, and this we think is good
philosophy even in a material sense.
Dairying and stock raising following
on grain raising is a natural and ord
erly phase of agricultural development
In practice dairying might be termed a
combination of tillage, breeding, rais
ing and feeding as well as making and
marketing the product. The study t)f
the dairyman should be the most feed
of the best kind that can be obtained
considering the cost.
Next to the selection of the right
cow feeding is the most important
factor in successful dairying. Then
the question arises as to the type of
cow one is milking. Some cows make
milk, others make beef, and the dairy
man will not get rich by milking the
latter kind.
What one needs to make dairying a
success is the right kind of feed and
proper care for the cow, a pair of
scales, a Babcock test, a pure bred sire,
and a ftt of business sense thrown in.
Feed a cow all the good feed she re
quires and don't pratice the method
of giving plenty at one time and not
enough at other times. A cow can
not be expected to do her best unless
provided with the right kind of feed
and proper care requisite for the pro
ducing of milk. A cow is somewhat
like a machine unless you put some
thing into it you cannot expect to get
much out of it.
During my experience in the cream
ery business, I might say that one very
good way I usually found to create an
interest in better methods of dairying
is by assertaining whether the patrons
of the creamery were milking cows
that were profitable or something
which merely takes the place of a cow.
I have generally found on going into
a community where dairying has not
been made an object that, generally
speaking, a large percentage of the
cows, instead of returning a profit to
their owners, scarcely produced milk
and butter enough" to pay for the feed
which they consumed. And moreover,
the owner did not seem to know it.
We often meet with people whose ideas
of a good dairy cow is one which is
fine to look at, and which gives milk.
yThey stop right there. That is as far
as their knowledge or conception of a
dairy cow goes. Yet a cow may bo
fine to look at and still not produce
butter enough to pay for her keep.
In order to decide this question of
the profitable cow there is only one
sure way of getting at it. and that is
by the use of the scale and Babcock
test. By keeping a dail^ or monthly
record of the weight of the milk from
each individual cow during the milking
season and by the use of the Babcock
test, dairymen can readily ascertain
whether the cow is keeping him or
whether he Is keeping the cow.

that is to blame for unsatisfactory re
sults. Often it is the feed and the
man behind the feed. It matters not
how good a breed or dairy type a cow
may be, if she does noa get the right
kind of feed and proper care requisite
for milk producing, the cow cannot be
expected to do her best. In selecting
a cow for dairying one of the essentials
Is a clear conception of what consti
tutes a good milk producer. It is not
so much the breed of a cow as it is in
the development that counts. The de
velopment is one of the main char
acteristics without which a cow can
hardly be expected to give very great
results.
One of the mos timportant questions
to the farmer of North Dakota at the
present day ib dairying. To improve
the method of dairying we want bet
ter cows. But I am afraid we will not
get much beter cows until we get bet
ter men to handle them. The man
usually has just as good a cow as he
is, himself, a man, and seldtm better.
