Northern Pacific land policy challenged by Emmons county settlers
In Emmons county the Northern Pacific land grant and high prices harmed settlers. The Tribune’s calls to lower valuations and free grazing are debunked as the company leases lands to bidders and taxes sparingly. The piece argues for fair taxation, notes high freight rates, and criticizes political influence in Bismarck.

Epitog JEWELL Goes East After Defense
Epitog JEWELL has gone east after his masterly defense of Tax-Dodger Fernald. It is not probable he found it necessary to use a lie-pass. Aleck Hughes seems to have hypnotized the Tribune. Last summer the paper roasted the N. P. for not bearing its fair share of burdens.
