Jens A. Meyer, principal speaker during the picnic program, urged Danish farmers to remember the farm training they received in the old country and to work for more inten- sive and more variegated farming. He enlisted his listeners in a move- ment to unite with the other Scan- dinavian people in North Dakota in @ concentrated effort to raise the standard of farming. In a brief summary, Meyer reviewed the historic events which led up to the granting of the franchise and the constitution by King Frederik VII on June 5, 1848, and traced the progress of the country since that time. C. C. Larsen extended the welcome ;and Paul Bennett led the audience jin several songs and sang several solo numbers. A resolution was passed thanking the Misouri Slope Distrib- uting Co., Bridgeman-Russell Cream- ery Co., Bismarck Grocery, Gamble Robinson, Winston-Newell, Capital Bottling Works, Wachter Transfer, Woolworth’s, Grand Pacific hotel and | the Sweet Shop, donors of the re- | freshments.

R. Smith, director of the sales tax division, announced Monday. Administration costs amounted to 2.23 per cent for th first eight months the department was in operation as the re sult of $44,167.86 expenses while cost for the 11-month period is estimated at 2.28 by Director Smith. From the sales tax revenue $1,300,000 has been distributed to the counties, including $600,000 transferred to the state wel- fare board for poor relief and old age pensions and $700,000 transferred to the state equalization fund for the benefit of the schools of the state, Smith reported. For the 11-month period expenses totaled $68,840.78, he said. “There remains a balance of $616,278.02 available for transfer,” he said, “and from this balance and future collections for the ensuing year, $1,950,000 will be transferred to the equal- fare board.” | “Any balance remaining will be transferred to the general fund of the state,” Smith stated. He pointed to the sales tax as being “in every respect a replacement tax because every dollar collected will displace a dollar that would otha@wise be levied upon the general property of the state.” Sales Total $141,000.000 Retail sales amounted to more than $141,000,000 in North Dakota during the eight months ending Dec. 31, 1935, the report disclosed. “This figure represents the net retail sales as disclosed by tax reports received by this department, and is determined by the deduction from gross sales reported of all sales for resale or processing, and also all sales in inter- state commerce,” Smith explained. A recapitulation of collections, less refunds to retailers but including assessments, penalties and interest, permits and exchange, showed the de- partment had received for the June “short quarter” of two months $483,- 377.62; September quarter, $777,415.29; December, $718,813.84, and so far in the March quarter, $507. Sales tax division statisticians figured the annual per capita tax from the entire state at $4.348 with 10 major cities in the state collecting 42.404 per cent or nearly half of the state’s sales tax revenue.
