The federal government considers the inter-city paving from Mandan to the bridge, a distance of 2.9 miles, as part of the bridge contract, de- claring the lowlands to be river bot- tom. Today water backing up over the lowlands as the result of gorges! in the Missouri and the Heart Rivers, | had completely flooded what was formerly the road from Mandan to the bridge and the paved highway was high and dry with its surface one to two feet above the water lev- el.

Some propagandists, on the other hand, ought to employ a schoolboy to get correct basic figures. We examined some of their figures for 1919 and then quit in disgust. The total tax levy for 1919 was $87,428.00, and not $89,187.86 as claimed by the Lenhart “Experts.” Just multiply the total assessed valuatioy by the tax rate and you will get the right figures. Or, examine the original records in the office of the county auditor and learn where you went astray. Again, “the amount levied for running expenses’ in 1919 was not $84,310.00 as claimed by the Lenhart campaign committee, but $70,558.00. The total tax levy was $87,428.00 less $16,870.00 for sinking funds, etc., which leaves $70,558.00 according to the subtraction rules taught in school. Therefore, the 1919 have INCREASED not/decreased as c by the committee. smithereens. “running expenses”’ since imed It knocks their computations to Just do the little computating sug- gested above, and then check our figures with the certificate of City Auditor C. L. Burton on file in the county auditor’s office for the sinking fund, etc., figures. Also, better revise your basic figures and your tables before impugning other people’s hon- esty, and then perhaps we shall look them over some more. Oh, no, the impeccable Lenhart committee can- not make any “misleading” statements. Perish the thought! But, the same compilations on file in the office of the state tax commissioner, and used by the Lenhart committee, might also have permitted the tabulation of the whole story of the 1924 rates for cities of North Dakota. from the same record :— Total (1) Mili Levy . 20.1 . 19/04 16.3 17.4 29.02 23.05 9.83 15.68 17.4 Valley City .

(1) These figures agree with the Lenhart com- pilation. The others are those of the state com- missioner’s office except. the “net levy.” (2) Fargo and Dickinson have been added on the assumption that they are located in the state and ought fairly to be included in the table. The fact that Minot, Williston and Valley City outrank Bismarck in the levy of. taxes simply means that other cities also need retrenchment in their ex- penditures. CAPITAL CITY 10 SEEK 300 CONVENTIONS Campaign Waged to Secure Convention A Day For | Washington BY HARRY P. HUNT NEA. Service Writer Washington, March 31.—“A con- vention a day will keep hard times away.” Such might be stated as the slo- gan of Washington _ interests, which, facing nine months of co gressional absence, with ® conse- quent slump in business foreseen, are eran to make the capital city the convention headquarters of the nation. Three hundred conventions a year is the aim of .Washington’s new “convention bureau.” Tf that can be achieved, then the hotels can be kept filled, the rub- ber-neck wagons and taxi cab com- panies supported, and business gen- cially, assisted over the slack per- iod. -A campaign will be waged to “sell” Washington to the country as the ideal convention city, where between —_ session delegates ‘can visit spots of historic interest, ac- quire new knowledge of the gov- ernment and its organization and brush up on patriotism and poli- ties. One hundred and five conven- tions were held here last year. Since then a big new public audi- torium has been completed and new hotels with special convention halls opened. Washington is waiting, watchful- ly, hopefully. The “Welcome” sign hangs out. Congress is -gone, but the capital guides are still on the job. see Being a “favorite son” in Wash- ington has its advantages.

FIRE IRIE rf 31.—Rag- Ma TOWN THREATENED Livingston, Mont., March $L.— Swept by the most disastrous fire its history, the little town of Mame moth Hot’ Springs in Yellowstone Nationat Park, today took toll of the damage wrought, yesterday when flames fanned by ‘a mountain breeze destroyed its main place of industry and threatened to destroy a portion of the town.

U.S. ATTITUDE IS UNCHANGED Coolidge Sees No Reason To Recognize Russia Washington, March 31.—President Coolidge is still unresponsive to sug- gestions from any quarter that the administration policy with regard to Russia can be changed. He sees no warrant for present | consideration of proposals to reco; 2 nize the Soviet government, as condi- tions which have _ cohtinuously prompted denial of recognition re- main the same. Neither does he bélieve that re- cent developments bearing on the attitude of other powers toward re- cognition necessitates a review of the American attitude. CHEMICALS AID CROPS :Sofia, March 31.—Dr. Methodi Popoff, professor in the University of Sofia ‘and Bulgarian’ ambassador to Berlin, says he has increased the yield of many crops from 20 to 50 per cent by a chemical treatment of the seed.

LIGNITE RATE; HEARING PENDS, MILHOLLAN SAYS The interstate commerce commis- sion likely will reopen the North Dakota lignite coal freight rate case after July 1 and order a hearing on the reasonableness of the present rates, Frank Milhollan, chairman of state’ railroad commission, said Monday upon his return from’ Wash- ington, Since existing intra-state rates are made statutory after July 1 by an act of the legislature, the inter- state commerce commission will con- sider both inter-state and inti state rates and take the matter out of the hands of the state commis- sion, Milhollan said.

Black, chief engineer of the | State Highway Commission, announc- | ed today that he favors use of the engineering force of the State High. way Commission in building the pro- posed Missouyi river bridges at Wil- liston and Sanish rather than letting a contract for engineering work. When the Highway Commission, on Apri] 6, receives bids for making of! preliminary surveys, soundmgs and) preparation of plans and specifica- | tions, Mr. Black will recommend | that the Commission reject a]! bids | and follow a policy adopted in the} building of the bridge over the Red River at Pembina. believe the engineers of the Highway Commission are fully com- petent to undertake this work,” Mr. Black said. “Investigation of the construction_of bridges in South Da-; kota, on a less elaborate scale than| heretofore used in construction of} Missouri river bridges, and consul- tation with engineers of the Bureau of Public Roads, who have offered to us free of charge the services of consulting engineers, leads me to the conclusion that the policy inaugurat- ed in building the bridges over the Red river at Pembina should be car- ried out in the new bridge program.” The bridge over the Red river at embinga, now nearing completion, is of a cantilever design that involv- ed greater problems than expect- ed to be met in the construction of the Sanish and Williston bridges, Mr. Black said, He also believes that the Highway Commission engineers will make a new record in cutting the cost of engineering, keeping it be- low five per cent of the total cost of the bridge, which is 652 feet long and will cost about $175,000.

A committee composed of 0. E| Anderson, J. C. Taylor and J.

The lands tributary to Bis. marck and Mandan, and lying direct: ly along the Northern Pacific Rail road are especially adapted, both a: to tonnage per acre production anq a high sugar yield, according to au: thorities, One of the special benefits in su: gar production is that it rests th vil, clecns up all noxious weeds an when followed by a crop of wheat] rye or oats greatly increases th bushe} production of these crops, b reason of the fact that it conserve! moisture and increases soil fertalit; agriculture experts declare, The Association of Commerce com; mittee will furnish seed to the farm} ers this year. The farmers’ over thi county will be asked to plant smal] tracks, about ten feet square, in or der to determine the localities bes adapted for growing sugar beet Some Burleigh county farmers ha already notified the Association 0} Commerce that they will plant tes| plots this year and others intereste: are requested to communicate wit!
