An examination of the situation made here is ulfficient to disclose that some positive action on the part the forthcoming session of the legislature will be neces- It will be an excellent opportunity for presentation of a cut, straightforward policy in reference to this insti- tion, which is taking so much of the taxpayers’ money. The state mill and elevator is a unique institution — it is no capital stock. Perhaps its progenitors expected that would make money from the very start, and did not need sy capital stock. But before it started its entire equip- ment and buildings were mortgaged. The major method of nancing provided was to mortgage the grain and flour siler it had been bought and made. The only other sources at revenue have been to borrow from the Bank of North akota or private banks, without security. The legislature will have to authorize the issuance of tore milling bonds—bonds on which the mill obtains the ajor portion of its operating capital. To get other funds will have to dig deeper into the Bank of North Dakota Le the legislature will have to try and levy a tax to get funds ™y the bank. If the mill is to run, the better course would » for the legislature to levy a tax of $1,000,000 to be used operating the mill and elevator.

He requires all his soldiers to become Chri s, even as himself. He converts them by companies and buptizes them by pla- | toons, possibly with a fire hose.

Feng’s performance is a revival of a medieval custom, Even in the fifth century, when Clovis saw the light, he took Rheims and had them baptized with him, Still Gen.

But after while Mrs. John insisted on serving tea in the orchard. “It’s quite correct to have tea at five, you know,” she sai will give your brains a rest.” So Tom Tucker had five sand- wiches, and Jack Horner had three pieces of fruit cake and Miss Muffet had ever so many cups of tea, and everybody had a fine time. The Riddle Lady was soon rested and she got ready to ask the next riddle. “Is the next one to rhyme?” asked Nancy. “f can make it either way,” said M.the long run. if the mill loses; to levy a tax to give it Tk»yital would be an ever-present reminder to the taxpayers ** the load the institution has become on his pocketbook. The legislature may well set a limit upon the extent to nehich it is willing to finance the further “experiment” at 4vand Forks. The “experiment” would satisfy most ind: duals—would have bankrupt them by this time. If this Brill is to run, let it run on tax money in such a way that all we ; people will know it is being operated on tax money. 501 it must run, let the legislature say to the management: fake a million dollars of tax money, and when this is gone miose up the mill.” Sai In the difficulties of the situation being faced, there is ané ‘ise may cease, and a straight and honest course outlined. day a sor MOVIES : the Chicago has a movie theater seat for every 18 of its gbulation.
