The People’s Oil company: advises that its station will be open evenings until 11:00 o’clock and fur- ther'more that it has been open every eve- . ning until that time. Exeeption was taken in_this regard on one particular night last week. So much for that.~ i . We are pleased to adyise the public that this company will serve the automobile drivers.throughout the daytime and until 11:00 o’clock each evening. This gives the § \city two night services with the C. W. B Jewett. Garage and filling station opén ¥ twenty-four hours of the day. il §———f : 3 | *NOONAN FOR COUNTY DIVISION =¥, T.

Dear Sir: i Y read with interest the Pioneer’s article of: the 5th from :a TAXPAYER, regarding taxation and Couity Division. i I heartily agree with him on.the question of tHe unfairness of the proposed: line of division 12 miles - morth of Red Lake, leaving the land owners in 'towns 155 and 156, Ranges 33, 34 and 85, about: cluded “ifi~the proposed new county, and County' seat, located in the Border City of Baudette. I on is for fairness and economy: to the twice a3 far from Bemidji as they would be if in-" . as far south as Clearwater county on the west side of the Lake,"and take in towns 155 and 156 on the north side of the lakes. But to me as an owner of several thotisand acres of lands in the old ‘county south of the Drgjnage area, o which the taxation hurdens atjpresent are ~getting hard tobear—there has in the t, loomed - before me dangers in-county drainage financing whys, and still-more looms up under the proposed divisio n—cutting out nearly a million' acres' Number one farm lands that the proposed area left in-the old county—outside of the diminished res- ation—as. 3 $ ,_dral 37 projéct in s % ~and- 156, ‘Approximately 325 nage. ditches and ‘roads are needed:to nake yd available for settlement, and in Ranges 31 and 32 of the same towns there will be needed approximately 175 miles more of.ditches . and ,.to complete the systems underway, or a_total. of about five hundred miles, of nes ditch finaneing, that the north end hopes and desires to get away from after they have been ¢ fairly well taken care of with drainage and roadway in the best-farm lands of the county. Besides the above 500 miles needed:in this so called no-man land, there is in the diminished Red Lake Reservation, west of the lakes, and north of the Clearwater county line, in Townships 153-154 Ranges 33 to 38 inelusive, in round figures 210,- 000-aéres or some over nine full townships that will in a few years require approximately 600 miles more of drainage ditch financing which to all ‘ap- pearance will be tried to push over onto the coun- ty thru the Conservancy Board, the same way as the financing_of the so-called Federal ,o,_r,Vo].stead lands\north of ‘the Lake of -which at ‘present we have about ‘two and threé-feurths ‘million. dollars _outstanding with nearly, if not over a half a million dollars of ditch: liens are alteady _ defaultéd by land woners, and for which, ‘according“to a state- ment made to me by the:County Attorney; the eoun~ ty woald have to levy udditional yearlyi:taxes for the sinking fund to meet such -defaults, which to all present appearances will cover the pulk qf the isolated, and deep peat lands, and amount upwards of one and a quarter million:dollars . for the re- maining taxpayers. in the south ,eqd. south of the drainage district to-reach into their cash boxes to help pay after voting to let nearly a million ‘acres of our best lands in the northern part be released from the present proposed 60 -per cent of the old drainage bonds, (while under the law _tlge. south end can not be released from the responsibility for the 40 per cent they have guaranteed in the north end or proposed new county). 3 In 1910, before Beltrami county issued _ any: drainage bonds, I-went before the county “hoard at. two -meétings, urging them.to issue bonds se- cured only upon the lands drained, and not upon the whole real and personal . resources of t‘he county. At:the last meeting their answer was, - I# such a resolution was attached to the bonds, they ‘would not sell.” My answer was, “If one township-* or-five townships as a whole covered by theif large systems, were not ‘security’ enough for the fico!t'of the drainage—such a resolution and plan™ would: . keep odt promotion on lands that was not at’ pres-. ent needed to be drained.” - 2L 1 . . My request representing our lands as - well -as.. other large tax payers was unheeded, and nearly .- three »million dollars of Red Lake Bonds issued.. _ which is"a lien upon every dollars worth of real snd personal property in the county. o From time to time since, in the Press _and before the .Commereial club I have urged action in, this matter, ‘but it seemed that the promoters up North' had a better stand in, than some of us cranky southern taxpayers. ; 1 will again-urge action to have the Drainage laws so amended that future Ditch bonds will be a lien only on the area drained, whether_ the system covers one farm or one thousand farm'tracts in- stead of the whole county. And also to encourage the present settlers to stick and improve their lands in the drainage district, by having the county arrange to refund -the present drainage bonds for thirty years (at as low a rate of interest as pos- sible—if the Rural Credit Amendment passes) giv- ing them fiftéen years with interest” payments only! during which time land and transportation improv- ments can be made, so that the lands will be self-supporting, and the last fifteen years same as under l:ge prg!ant' law, one fifteenth of thé prin- ciple with annual interest. If others in the Bemidji district feel the tax burdens as hard ‘as I do, I sincerely hope they will consider carefully these points.or suggestions and help bringabout. the best plans for farm develop- ment in our county- along the most prac;:cal lines. The Lumbering and the Lumber taxes will soon be and if we fail to get the farm factories go- § ond T I ?nge;vherever possible, business . ineomes in the villages. and cities of our country will i be - cur- tailed, and tax levies increased. - . - Respectfully submitted, Opsahl Janrd owners, the division line should surely come ? tily 3 : . { § i duction, scenically, one o the out- standing pictures.of the year.
