THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1930 - Stark County Commissioners Have Excellent Road Building Record ————$ ———. _——-. 47) BRIDGE 600 MILES HAS BEEN BUILT OR IMPROVED IN LAST TWO YEARS Mischel, Boltz and Schiller Were Instrumental in Develop- ing Policy : sOND ISSUE WAS FLOATED Roads Through Dickinson, Bel- * field, Richardton and Glad-~ stone Better _ Dickinson, N. D., Oct. 31—The rapid progress in the development of the Missouri Slope is well illustrated by the tremendous expansion along all material: lines in’ Stark county, which is without doubt the richest subdivision of this area, kpth-in per- sonal property and natural resources. So rapid has been the advancement in Stark county within the last tw years that only those who have taken an active part in public affairs can realize the number and nature of the improvements that have been made. A striking example of this is furnish- ed by-the county’s road building pro- gram. In the last two years the county commissioners of Stark county have built over 600 miles of county roads. About half of this mileage was new construction, the rest being the re- shaping of old roads. With this rec- ord, the Stark county commissioners should easily hold the palm as road building champions in North Dakota for the years 1929-30. Seven years ago, when the counties of North Dakota were forced upon a cash basis by an act of the legisla- ture, Stark county was found to be in debt and with overdrawn accounts. Two bond issues in' 1922 and 1923, aggregating ’ $250,000 were made to take up the outstanding’ county war- rants, which for the most part repre- sented expenditures in excess of taxes levied. A budget system was adopt- ed and since that time Stark county has been on a strictly cash and busi- ness basis. Two years ago another bond issue of $100,000 was secured through the state of North Dakota at five per cent interest for federal road build- ing purposes, and Stark county's ex- tensive road building program dates from that time. By floating the bond issue, the county commissioners were able to take advantage of federal and state aid to the fullest extent, each dollar of county ‘morey being matched with one dollar: the state and two dollars. from the federal government. In this way more than $250,000 was paid in the last two years by the state and nation toward building . Stark county roads. This great expense must otherwise have been borne by the taxpayers of the county, or they must have waited many more years for the splendid. system of highways which they now enjoy. Federal Roads Built At the beginning of 1927 there were no federal highways in Stark county with the exception of 13 miles of No. 22 north and south of Dickinson and six miles of No. 10 to the east and west of Dickinson.. Since that time the remaining 48 miles of No. 10 with- in the county have been graded and surfaced, with the exception of a small portion which will be completed by the first of November this year. A very important trunk road is No, 22, which was built north and south across the county in 1927, '29 and '30. About 13 miles of this road were sur- S$S-ST -LEGGO- HERE COMES A OFFICER ARE YOU ASHAMED OF ME ? gio 10-3 RES. U. 6. PAT. OFF. b Meat Ory. faced in 1927 and the rest will be graveled next season. A beginning was made last year on national trunk highway No. 85, when six and one-half miles of it were graded north of Belfield to the Bill- ings county line, where that county joined with another link of nine/and one-half miles this year. Stark county will construct nine miles more of this great highway south of Bel- field next year. Another state-designated road, No. 8, traverses the county north and south through Richardton. Nine miles of this road were built in Stark county in 1929 and the commissioners have it on their program to extend this road south to the Hettinger county line to connect with Mott in 1932. c An important county Toad was built this year from Gladstone through Lefor to Regan south, and connect- ing to the north with Dunn Center, a distance of _16 miles. Another county road 26 miles in length was built this year from Dickinson south- east toward the Lubnian gistrict, and this road will be éxten 16 miles further to the Hettinger county line next year. N About 40 miles of the same kind of roads were graded this year in the central townships, comprising the second commissioner’s district. .In 1927 there were no roads worthy of the name in that section, which how has 200 milés of good county roads leading in all directions. c The road from Dickinson to New Hradec, 15 miles in length, is now be- ing reshaped to make it an all-sea- son road, This job will be completed next year according to Commissioner Schiller, under whose supervision the work is being done. Another road from Gladstone to the Dunn county line was finished last year, and the Program for next year includes the construction of a road north from Taylor to the county line.

In 1929 parts of Stark county lost numerous bridges owing to heavy rains and floods, and it be- came necessary for the commissioners to organize their own bridge building crew as an emergency measure, The ‘wooden bridges that had been washed away were in most cases replaced by bridges of steel and concrete con- struction. The work was done with- out increasing the tax levies and the bills for construction and mainten- ance, both of the roads and the bridges, have béen paid promptly every month. ‘The commissioners have been con- servative in the expenditure of money. Each commissioner has superintend- ed the road and bridge work in his own district, and there has been no time-killing on the job. This has made it possible to reduce the county budget for general purposes to the extent of $10,000 this year. The county commissioners under whose active supervision this exten- sive road and bridge building program has been successfully carried out are A. F. Mischel, Righardton; Nick J. Boltz, Belfield, and Martin Schiller, Dickinson. Mischel, who'is a farm- er, merchant and banker, has resided in the county 38 years and is one of the heaviest taxpayers. All Are Pioneers Nick Boltz also is an old-timer and still resides on the homestead he filed on near Belfield 24 years aga.: He-is one of the biggest taxpayers, as is Martin Schiller, who has been a resi- dent of the county since 1898, County Auditor A. S. Ward, who has cooper- ated with the board and played a very active part in the development of Stark county, filed on a homestead south of Belfield 25 years ago and has been a resident of the county ever since. These officials are recognized as business men of fairness, ability and honesty. In discussing these matters, County Auditor Ward made this statement: SRLAMSS, ©1990 BY NEA SERVICE. INC. {stark county today has a population of 15,333 and contains 1340 farms. The assessed valuation at present is $20,- 000,000, which, with’ a 25 per cent de- duction leaves us a taxable valuation of $15,000,000. “Under our present laws, all prop- erty of whatever nature is to be as- sessed at its full value, and from such assessment 25 per cent is deducted in the auditor’s office, and all taxes are spread against the remaining 75 per cent of assessed valuation, This ap- Plies to every individual, company or corporation. It seems that this is the only reasonable and fair way that could be devised, as thereby each pays taxes according to the worth of his property, and supports his city, county and state governments as well as the schools, in Proportion to his “The total tax levy in Stark coun- ty for 1929-1930 was $556,141.18. Of this amount $51,650.72 went’ for state purposes, $170,506.11 for county pur- poses, $19,804.95 to the ‘ townships, $54,945.68 to cities and villages, and $259,233.72, or 46.61 per cent, is being spent for maintaining the excellent school system.” ~ } » Baltimore Expects to Use Expensive Airport Within Next Two Years Baltimore, Oct. 31—()--With about $2,200,000 ‘already spent, Baltimore expects:'to be using its , $4,000,000 municipal airport within two years.

Instead of complaining about what the Farm Board is doing, Legge urged those in his audience to “get basy and help us make the Agri- cultural Marketing Act a success and each and every’ one of you will bene- fit by the improvement in the fin- ancial position of this large group who then will better customers for the things you make.” Legge saidin part: “In discussing the agricultural problem with any group in the industrial East one is confronted with the general belief that it is something of recent origin, yet the history of the earlier days of the nation prove rather conclusively that the problem has been with us for a long time. “At the time the Constitution of the United States was written it was estimated that ninety-eight per cent of the three million population were farmers. The document itself is a farmers’ document of a farm- ers’ republic, starting out with a debt of one hundred million dollars, a debt which most people at the time seemed to feel could never be fully repaid. French Revolution Helped “Very soon thereafter came the French Revolution, followed by 20 years of military conflict in Europe, providing a market at a high price level for everything the country had to export, which made the balancing of that budget comparatively easy. “Following the close of the Na- poleonic wars in 1815 the country was confronted with a business con- dition seemingly very like the one we are now passing through, the price of shoes dropping to $1.42 a pair; the price of cotton dropping in a few years time from 31 cents a pound to 9 cents. This depression brought about the first agitation for a. protective tariff for American in- dustry, resulting in an average duty of about 20 per cent in 1816. This was followed by the setting up of many new plants with the result that in a few years the manufac- turers were ae iat : peli partly hese rapid increase in pro- netion: ind partly because the manufacturers were finding it diffi- cult to compete with the European exporters even though the latter had the handicap of a 20 per cent tariff against them. Unsuccessful appeals for increased protection were made to Congress by industrialists in 1824 and 1826 but they were renewed in 1828 and this time relief was granted by increasing the tariff on imports to 50 per cent ad valorem. “Resulting advances in prices of manufactured products brought a storm of protest. from the aericat tural producers of the South and West. One of the prominent men of your state, Abbot Lawrence, is quot- ed in a letter to Daniel Webster at the time this increased duty was pending as follows: ‘This bill, if adopted as amended, will keep the South and West in debt to New Eng- land for the next hundred years.’ Article No. 39 By WM.

The conflict over this tariff ques- tion seems to have been rather con- tinuous from“1828 to 1846, at which ‘time the law was repealed. “Regardless of any prophecy that ruin and destruc- tion, the country’ continued to grow and prosper until the outbreak of the Civil war, at which time the pro- tective tariff was again adopted.

Regardless of what West leads, the declarer is now assured of six no trump. . The most interesting play came up at the table where the queen of hearts was opened. Declarer was forced to win with the ace and then take five rounds of diamonds. East, thinking his partner held four hearts to the queen, jack, ten, dropped the four of hearts arid then the king of hearts, unblocking the suit. The de- clarer dropped the four and seven of hearts, West was forced to make three discards and discarded three small spades. The ten of spades was then led from dummy, which East refused to cover, declarer winning with che ace, West following with the jack. De- clarer’s next lead was the ‘king of spades, West dropped the teh of hearts. Declarer then put West in the lead with the nine of hearts and forced him to lead club. The queen of hearts opening is the only lead that will defeat the hand, but East must discard the king of hearts, and on the last diamond, ‘West must discard whatever the de- clarer discards.

Mr. Coolidge spoke under the aus- Pices of the Republican state com- mittee in behalf of the reelection of Governor Frank G.

On business conditions, Mr. Cool- idge said: “We have had a world- wide recession in trade. It has beer Cue to a combination of causes which no one yet comprehends. There has been a chronic revolution in China; economic chaos in Russia and grave disturbances in India, so that one half the population of the globe ha been turned into a finaneial liability. “South American states have beer in revolt. These had their influence. But probably we are going through that secondary reaction which has usually followed the first revival after great wars. “No government worthy of confi- dence undertakes to guarantee pros- Perity.
