Plans Are Being Made For
Coming Year's Work In
Agricultural, Office.
PROGRESS IS EXPECTED
County Courts Are J'ound Wlllliut t
Continue Appropriations for the
Pur-HMte of Enabling Fanners
. to Maintain Organization.
C. J. Hurd, formerly Douglas
county agricultural agent, now as-,
slstant state leader of county agents,
came to the city last night for a con
ference with County Agent H. E.
Haalett regarding farmers' week.
which is to be observed between
January 4 and January 8.
For the past fow weeks, Mr. iiura
states, he has been kept very busy
visiting the various county courts of
the state in an effort to Keep me
farm agent work up to Us present
efficiency. In every county of the
state the county court has had the
same trouble aa that ot the Douglas
county court, the keeping of the bud
get within the six per cent limitation
and at the same time providing funds
for all departments. The strictest
economy Is being observed and in
many places the courts had deter
mined to reduce the appropriation
for the farm agent work.
under nresent market conditions.
and with the unsettled state of the
agricultural Industry, Mr. Hurd
stated that such a move would un
doubtedly have a bad effect and In
every instance succeeded In persuad
ing the courts to continue their ap
propriation and in a few cases even
an Increase waa gained.
Mr. Hurd expressed complete sat
isfaction over the action of the Doug
las county court in appropriating
$2000 for the county agent office.
This is the same amount that has
been given previously and although
It was not aa much as was asuea tor
by the college, still, under the present
conditions of the county's finances.
Mr. Hurd feels that the Douglas
county court has done well and has
proved Its desire to co-operate In
every possible way with the farmers
and producers of the county.
"I feel that any failure to progress
in the work of the county agents at
this time would be a severe loss to
the atate at large." Mr. Hard ald.
"We are facing unparalelled condl-
tlona. The market is changing dally.
Farm labor has been hard to secure
and there Is a great deal of Idle acre
age. To leave the farmers now with'
out an organization and without
someone to head thn various move
ments for the betterment of the In
dustry would be a severe economic
loss.
"Nets- plana for the coming year's
work are now being formulated at
the college and we believe that there
will be a great advancement during
the coming twelve months."

In regard to Douglas county and
the work during the past year. Mr.
Seymour in his report says. "From
tr-, beginning of club work in Ore

the foremost counties in the work.
Superintendent O. C. Brown has al
ways been one of the strongest be
lievers in the work, that the state
has had. and he is backed by his
good wife, who is rural school su
pervisor In the county.
"Douglas County Is one of the few
counties supporting a county, club
leader, and it has a live wire In A.
E. Street. This team, of Supt. O. C.
Brown, his wife, and A. E. Street, is
a power In the county and some most
excellent work has been the result.
'Ten local or community club
fairs are held In the county each year
and all clubs exhibit at the place

'Canning, sewing, cooking and
stork judging contests are held at
each fair. From the teams competing
here teams are selected for the
state and interscate contests.
'One of the outstanding features
of Douglas county this year was the
work of the Jersey Heifer club of
Smith Itiver community. Here a club
of thirteen boys was organized, each
to purchase a registered Jersey heif

High School Fund
Law Held Unfair
That a vigorous fight will be waged
on the high school fund law In the
near future la the belief of those
who are familiar with Ita terms. The
measure prescribing for this fund
waa passed by the recent legislature
and is claimed to place unfair bur
den on taxpayers of the county. It
can be repealed by action of the leg
islature and the old tuition law or
some new law substituted. In regard
to the present law. Assessor Calkins
says:
"We believe In a liberal policy to
ward high school education, but
think that the burden should be
equally borne. Under the high school
fund law, which preceded the law
under which we are now working, we
had county-wide tax of leas than one
half mill, which provided free high
school tuition for all high school
pupils in the connty at a total cost
to the county of approximately $14,
000. Under the tuition fund law un
der which wi are now operating the
tuition burden has doubled and ap
proximately $28,000 was required to
furnish free tuition to the county
while the burden waa borne by less
than half of the taxable area, and
that which was least able to bear It
the rural section.
"Under the old law the tax waa
approxtmtaely one-half mill. Under
the present law It Is l.T mills. The
Inequality Is greatly aggravated by
the bonus feature which provides
thst In apportioning the tuition fund
each standard four-year high school
district shall receive from the fund
the cost of educating the tint tea
pupils. This means that if a district
haa ten pupila or leas in average
dally attendance that such districts
get tbdlr entire cost of maintenance
free, such cost being borne by a tax
on non-high school territory.
"Under this system last year seven
of the 16 high schools In the county
paid nothing for their high school
maintenance, salary ot teachers.
janitor, coat ot supplies and all ex
penses being borne by tnia tax on
non-high school territory. Yet the
districts escaping taxation in nearly
every Instance bad a nign tax value,
running from about one-hair million
to over one and a halt million dol
lars.
"Another feature of the law which
adds to the burden la that any pupil
from non-standard territory may at
tend any high school in the state and
such cost must be eharged against
such taxed area of this county. The
result la that many pupils are at
tracted to the high schools outside of
the county and thus the burden
grows."

at Grand Forks, until further funds
can be obtained through the aale of

FnrEO. N. D.. Dec. 23 The state
of North Dakota la engaged iu four
lines of activity usuully followed only
by private Interests. These are:
1 Insurance, tror puunc uuna-
ings and for crops. I
2 Operation of a mill and elevat
ors.
3 Operation of a bank.
4 Operation of a home building
association.
These activities are part of the In
dustrial program, backed by the non
partisan league. The last three nam
ed are under the coutrol of the In
dustrial commission of the state.
Possibly the most ambitious of the
four programs Is that for a chnln of
state owned mills and elevators.
A state owned flour mill with a cap
acity of 126 barrels a day is in op
eration at Drake. A 3.000 barrel a
day mill and a 1,500.000 bushel ele
vator are being built by tho stnte
under one roof at Grand Forks. They
will be ready In time to take care of
the 1921 wheat crop, it is expected.
The mill and elevator system Is
to be only the beginning, says H. E.
More, state secretary of the Non
partisan league, the plan being to
help handle live stock and other
(aim products. The final aim, ac
cording to Mr. More is to handle.
storo, manufacture and distribute in
finished form, all tho products from
within the state, thus avoiding the
transportation to distant factories
and costs Involved in passing through
the hsnds of the middlemen.
The program of the state bank, ac
cording to Mr. More, is to extend fi
nancial aid to thn farmers and to
mobilize tuonoy in the stale at the
points whero it Is most needed by
re-depositing It In local banks at
these points. The western end of the
state, impoverished by five years of
crop failures, bns had until recently
$1.(100.000 in re-deposits than was
originally drawn from that section.
Before the November election, a
law provided that all public funds
in the state bo deposited in the state
bank, but an initiatory law passed at
that'ftine,. now mnkes the depository

and school moneys optional wilh the

they centered at tho capitol, and In
modem Koine at the alur on the
monument of Victor Emanuel.
Every man, woman unit ciiiitt in
Flume siflmed to be gathered around
the monument, which was soon cov

soldiers, sailors, ariditl, climbed up

Amount of State and County
Tax Levy Fixed by Asses
sor at 17.7 Mills.
CITY TAX FOUR PER CENT
Residents of Koaehurg Will Pay a
Levy of .0UU8, According to Fig
ures Made Public by County
Assessor F. I.. Calkins. . .
County Assessor Frank L. Calkins
has completed the tax levy for tha
1920 tax and the task ot extending
the lists will be commenced soon. The
levy for county and slate purposes is
0177, as against .0162 last year.
This difference of one and Blx-tenths
mills Is largely due to the special
levies not affected by the six per cunt
limitation.
Tho state tax la placed at $261,
696.80. Of this amount the sum of
$196,521.75 represents the amount
to be raised under the provisions of
constitutional levies voted by the
people and not subject to the six per
rent limitation. In other words, if
there were no constitutional levies
no special tax measures voted by
the people the state tax would be
$66,074.05.
Another law which the assessor
claims Is the most unjust law now on
Iho statute books Is the high school
fund lnw, which levies a tax against
all high school districts outside ot
organized high school territory. This
is a legislative act which enn be re
pealed by the legislature. Tho con
stitutional levies can only be re
pealed by a vote of the people.
A slight difference is shown on tho
valuation against which the general
road levy for county purposes Is as
sessed. This is for the reason that
Yonralla pays no road tax. According
to tho charter of. Yoncalla, that
municipality paya no taxes for road
purposes, and any money apent on
the roads Inside the limits ot that
town must be raised by a special
levy. This Is an old charter and no
new charters have been granted with
this provision. -
