On This Day | Why are Your Taxes high
Author

North Dakota’s crop of youngsters is more important perhaps than our magnificent crops of grain and must be looked after. If we would induce people from the east to join us and assist in subduing the virgin soil of Ward county, then we must provide good schools. We more than get the money back in the increased valuation of our lands.
— March 7, 1907 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
The only thing more assured than taxes is talking and writing about taxes. This is one of the earliest examples we’ve come across, and the arguments presented in favor of a tax burden are the same ones used today. We can always use more efficiency and less wasteful spending, and looking at taxes as investment in our place that fuels the value of our property is a feature, not a bug.
