PAGE FIGHT BUTTER FAT TAX REPEAL TO BE ASKED Measure to be Presented to Legislature on Werner Creamery Plan A bill to end the state tax on but- ter fat of 50 cents per 1,000 pounds | handled by creameries and other dairy product agencies wil be intro- duced at this session of the legisla-| ture. Several such bills are being | apparently of who will be first to written and it is only a question of | submit the bill. The tax was levied in 1919 to pro-| vide funds for an experimental eamery which was established at Werner, N. D. ° The creamery op- erated from carly that summer until! in the fall—four or five months: according to J. A. Kitchen, commis oner of agriculture and labor. Then it ceased to function. A Bishop- Brissman audit showed an operating loss of $15,287. Nearly $5,000 was spent in winding up the affairs of the project bringing the total pended on it to $20,604. About 954 had been collected on the butte fat tax thus leaving a balance of $1,349 not expended. Meanwhile the cream stations and/ others who had to pay the tax, see-/ ing that the creamery, had gone out| of business refused to pay on the ground that it was unconstitutional. Mr. Kitchen brought the suit against them for the tax law still remained on the statute books. This litigation is still in the courts and the su- preme court understood to be; holding up action on it pending the! action of this legislature on cancel- lation of the law.

The contest each year draws large crowds to the school, much in- terest being centered in the event. Other features of the program will be a basketball game between the university team and the State A. C. men, considered of great interest both because of the rivalry between ; the institutions and because of the expected closeness of the contest. It is to he played the afternoon of Founders’ Day.

It is hoped that a representative body of men from the Twin Cities can be brought to North | Dakota on, an inspection tour and thru them arrange for demonstra- tions in Minneapolis and St. Paul.” Mr. Milloy also stated that the op- erators are planning considerable development work for the eastern part of North Dakota where alto- | gether too much eastern foal is used, Legislation which the, committee hopes to have introduced at this ses- sion will be further discussed at a meeting of lignite coal operators from all parts of the state to be held in Bismarck Jan..31 and Feb, 1.

C. E.j Danielson, president of the Minot Association of Commerce who came to Bismarck to attend the program Saturday, declared yesterday in dis- cussing the future of North Dakota and particularly the western half of the state with Bismarck men. ‘The time is opportune for real development work,” Mr. Danielson declared, “and I’ believe Governor Nestos issued a timely warning when he spoke of false economy. Economy is wise but there is such a thing as carrying it too far. We cannot afford to stop the great, work which has been started toward making North Dakota a greater state and I feel of those who would close many of our state institutions and tear down the work accomplished to date by organiza- ions\ and institutions, which have looked to the future and put every confidence in it, will not be heeded by our legislators.” Mr. Danielson was particularly in- terestéd in the proposed good roads amendment and said that while he met some law makers who were op- posed to this piece of legislation, hé learned their opposition was the, r sult of not being familiar with Jth proposed law. He pointed out that under! the amendment to be intro- duced the matter of building federal aid roads would be optional with the various counties. of the’state and if any particular county was not in sympatay with the federal aid plan, it would not be compelled to go in on it. But, he contended, such oppo- sition by one or two county boards in the state should not cause the yemaining counties.to be denied an opportunity to secure federal aid. If North Dakota does .not accept its share of federal ‘aid, other. states will take their own share and North not man dé- ¢lared, “Minot was very, mich. interested WHEN — ‘Where—2% miles south Wa CHINAS. which go with the g@od ones.

Tests by food experts show that cranberries cost less and go farther any of the ordinary fruits put up for winter use. Best of all—cranberries are ex- ceedingly healthful. Food scientists and doctors have discovered that cranberries have real medicinal qual- ities.
