The question is one involving an attempt on the part of the state tax commission to levy taxes against the International Harvester company for its credits on ‘equipment sold in North Dakota. The commission claims that $1,000,000 in credits of this kind are taxable, and it has assessed the amount in four ‘equal parts against the harvester branches in Bismarck, Minot, Fargo and'Grand Forks. Only, Ward county, in which the Minot, branch is located, has endeavored to date to collect, It is probable that; the Harvester company will contest, | and that the matter will be threshed out in district court. The supreme; court of the United States has already ruled on the matter, in a similar case appealed from Louisiana, and the tax commission will base its suit upon this decision.

North Dakota never has thoroughly appreciated the wonderful advantage it possesses in its great store of lig- nite coal. Like pure air and good water and other benefits enjoyed in common and at little or no expense, our lignite has been taken for ‘granted. . con- practical demonstration of the effi- ciency of this fuel in an electric light plant. And now, lignite bids fair to come {nto its own. Semi-bituminous western coals are selling from $8 to $10 the ton; an- thracite is ‘bringing $15, and will go higher. The higher grades of eastern bituminous coals are unobtainable at any price. But there is plenty of lig nite, and it is selling at the samie con- servative price of $3 the ton, laid down in our bins. The lignite mines have not taken advantage of any shortage, real or fancied, to boost prices. The mines are paying a trifle more for their labor, and sup- plies generally are higher. This may result, December 1, in an advance of 25 cents the ton, but consumers will still be able to buy from two and a half to five tons of lignite for the same amount that one ton of foreign coal would cost. The Twin City press, purporting’ to ‘be publishing newspapers for all of the great northwest, seems disposed to ignore the vast wealth of lignite coal of which North Dakota boasts. All of the Twin City newspapers have published wild, distorted stories of coal famines in North Dakota towns which had “nothing to depend upon but lignite.” Every town in central and western North Dakota should thank God that they have lignite to depend upon in the present crisis, and the day is not far distant when the Twin Cities and other important pop- ulaion centers in the northwest will have cause to give thanks for that Same reason. North Dakota has 700,000,000,000 tons of workable lignite, the United States geological ‘No amount of derision or unfair pub- licity instigated by the eastern coal barons can detract one iota’ from that fact. North Dakota has a fuel supply sufficient for a hundred gen- erations, For the present there is satisfaction in the fact that there is no coal fam- ine in North Dakota; that there can be none in this year or any other year -{the Will nurserjes and, gardens. survey estimates. | py to take care of the water discharged by the ‘Eighth street drain, which oth- erwise would. seriously discommode The Young People’s society of .the | Trinity Lutheran church will meet. this evening in the church parlors for a so- cial session, A program of musical numbers ‘has been arranged and lunch- ~€on Will-Bé served.
