Has there been any money laid asides by the state of North Dakota for the benefit of a terminal elevator? If so please state about how much.—J. J. Payer, Adams, N. D. The 1913 legislature levied a tax for terminal elevators to be built by the state of North Dakota. It provided for a state levy of one-eighth of one mill for each of the years 1914, 1915 and 1916. The tax for 1914 and 1915 pro- vided for in this law has been levied and on February 1, this year, the amount in the treasury gained by the tax was a trifle over $24,000. All the 1915 tax had not been collected then. By January 1, 1918, after the tax for all three years has been levied and collected, as provided for in the law, the amount available for state-owned terminal elevators will be about $114,000, according to an estimate made by the state auditor. The 1915 legislature attempted to re- peal this tax, so that it could not be fevied for the years 1915 and 1916. The repeal bill passed the senate and house and was signed by the governor, but the people of the state, mostly farmers, got out a referendum petition and got enough mnames to hold up this repeal. The re- peal of the tax, therefore, will be voted upon by the people of the state at the general election this fall. If the repeal is voted down the tax will have to be levied and collected for the year 1916. The money from this tax can be used only for the purpose of building, equip- ing and operating state owned terminal elevators. There are a few here who. would like to know a little about Sherman Hickle’s record in the last legislature. Did he work for the farmer or the other fellow ? Hickle is knocking the Lcague.

Wishing you success with your work.—JAMES A. HAYES. Mr. Hickle is a farmer, but as repre- - sentative in the legislature for the 48th district, including Mercer, Oliver and Dunn counties, he opposed the most im- portant farmers’ measures that came to a vote. In these he voted with the Big Business representatives against the far- mers. ‘ Mr. Hickle did not vote on the terminal elevator bill and was not excused from voting for the cause. By his failure to vote he gave aid to those who desired to kill this bill. How he stood on the matter was afterwards proved. A bill preten- ' ding to be for the purpose of getting the railroad, commission to investigate the the possibilities of a terminal elevator in the state was introduced. This was only its pretended purpose. It really re- pealed the tax ordered levied by the 1913 legislature for the building of state- owned terminal elevators and sherman Hickle voted for it. The bill was after- wards held up by referendum petitions circulated by the farmers. Mr. Hickle was not even in favor of letting the people vote on the proposi- tion of compulsory state hail unsurance, one of the chief measures the farmers were insisting upon. He voted against a bill for a concurrent resolution to amend the constitution so that adequate state hail- insurance could be provided for. This bill could mnot ' establish adequate hail insurance; it merely was to allow the people to vote on the ques- tion, and Hickle was not even in favor of that. °* Political Advertisement » I hereby announce myself a candidate for nomination for the office of Sheriff on the Democratic ticket, and respectfully solicit ymfi vote and support at the, June Primaries. nominated and elected to this office I prom- ise to devote my best efforts to the duties of the office.
